God of Pets

Chapter 331 Amazing Talent

Yang Hu nodded, summoned another peerless pet, and pounced towards Chen Guan.

But this time, the peerless pet that had escaped the Ghost Eye's attack and rushed in front of Chen Guan was once again killed by Chen Guan's second strike of the Evil Asura Blade.

"Continue." Fu Tianji said expressionlessly.

After yet another peerless pet was killed by Chen Guan's Evil Asura Blade, Fu Tianji frowned slightly and said again, "Continue."

Yang Hu had no choice but to summon another peerless pet and attack Chen Guan.

The peerless pet finally broke through the Ghost-Eyed Python's obstruction and reached Chen Guan. This time, he killed it with a single slash.

The peerless pet had already exhausted all its means to break through the Ghost-Eyed Python's obstruction.

Chen Guan seized the opportunity presented by the decline of its old strength and the absence of new strength, and killed it with a single blow. This was thanks to his ability to seize opportunities, which came from the rhythm of martial arts.

Even ordinary, peerless pets cannot withstand the destructive power of the Evil Asura Blade; a fatal blow to a vital point can be fatal.

“He must have some means of restoring his vitality, perhaps using the Heavenly Star,” Fu Tianji said in a deep voice after a moment’s thought.

Tiankui Star is a peerless secret spirit of the Great Cave Heaven. It requires special means to reduce it to the level of a blessed land before it can be used by cultivators at the second awakening stage.

Although both are peerless pets, Tiankui Star's abilities are much stronger than other peerless pets from blessed lands of the same level.

Yang Hu nodded and summoned Tiankui Star to attack Chen Guan.

Tiankui Star is a type of celestial soldier, clad in armor made of secret treasures and carrying a long sword made of secret treasures at his waist. This outfit alone is far superior to other peerless secret spirits of the same level.

This Tiankui Star actually possessed a secret movement technique. With just a slight sway, he bypassed the Ghost Eye Python and rushed in front of Chen Guan. His movements were clean and swift, without the slightest waste.

Chen Guan unleashed a slash of the Evil Asura Blade, but Tian Kui Xing drew his sword and slashed back. The secret treasure sword actually shattered the blade's energy.

With the blessing of the Three Auspicious Lights, Tiankui Star's combat power is truly terrifying.

The Heavenly Star Sword surged forth like a rainbow, striking Chen Guan once more. A three-foot-long sword light flashed at the tip of the sword, capable of cutting through gold and jade with unparalleled power.

Tiankui Star not only possesses astonishing strength and destructive power, but he also fights not based on instinct. He has considerable intelligence, agility, and swordsmanship skills, making him comparable to a top-tier human swordsmanship master.

"What a pampered pet!" Chen Guan thought to himself. Such pets were not uncommon in the Great Cave Heaven.

However, within blessed lands, they are quite rare.

Chen Guan also wanted to get a fairy soldier like that as a pet, but unfortunately the price was too high.

Tiankui Star is valuable to begin with, and reducing it to one level would require an even greater price to pay.

Even if Chen Guan had the money to buy Tiankui Star, he didn't have the money to reduce him back to level one.

The instant Tian Kui Xing charged forward, Chen Guan's movement technique exploded, activating the One Night Step. With absolute speed, he managed to keep up with Tian Kui Xing's movements. Seizing the moment when Tian Kui Xing's rhythm faltered, Chen Guan unleashed the Evil Asura Blade once more, striking Tian Kui Xing's body in the nick of time.

Tiankui Xing was forced back several steps after being struck, but he did not fall.

His armor blocked the evil Asura Blade, leaving a clear cut on his breastplate, but it wasn't pierced through.

"Tian Kui Xing is too well-rounded. His secret treasure armor can't even be cut through by the Evil Asura Blade. He can be used as a meat shield pet." Chen Guan sighed inwardly again.

No wonder so many powerful figures would nerf their immortal weapons to level one for their chosen descendants; they are indeed far more useful than ordinary peerless pets. Fu Tianji smiled upon seeing this.

Yang Hu also said excitedly, "He used that kind of movement technique that consumes a lot of vital energy, and he also used sword energy. With such a high amount of vital energy consumption, even if he has the ability to replenish his vital energy, he probably can't keep up with the consumption."

Fu Tianji thought so too. He was somewhat surprised that Chen Guan could use both sword energy and a movement technique that consumed a lot of vital energy at the same time.

In this situation, even if it were Fu Tianji, he wouldn't have any more vital energy to use. At least, the vital energy he could recover would be insufficient to use those secret techniques that consume a great deal of vital energy.

Tian Kui Xing once again attacked like a ghost, dodging the Ghost Eye Python's attack in a flash. The sword in his hand, imbued with immortal sword light, slashed in front of Chen Guan in an instant.

Yang Hu thought that Chen Guan would have no chance of resisting this time, but Fu Tianji frowned when he saw Chen Guan's calm eyes.

hum!
Chen Guan took a step forward, his body tearing through the pressure of the air, and with incredible speed, he dodged Tian Kui Xing's sword light. At the same time, his hands came together, and the black and white sword energies instantly merged into one in his palms, transforming into a gray sword energy that flashed past Tian Kui Xing's waist.

Tian Kui Xing's extremely strong armor was cleaved open by the gray blade energy, and his body was cut in half at the waist.

Bang!
The two pieces of Tiankui Xing's body fell to the ground and died instantly.

Fu Tianji narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Chen Guan.

Yang Hu was filled with disbelief and exclaimed in horror, "Impossible... How could he still have the energy to use those secret techniques... And the secret techniques he used this time... consumed significantly more energy... Is he really a second-stage awakening cultivator...?"

“The only person who can be here is a second-stage awakening cultivator.” Fu Tianji stared at Chen Guan, no longer showing any contempt.

He had lived for over a thousand years and had never taken these young people seriously.

Even geniuses like Jiang Qiemo and Zhang Chunman were treated like children by him. He never considered them as real opponents, but merely manipulated them at will.

Even with Chen Guan, Fu Tianji didn't take him seriously; he just wanted to know Chen Guan's background.

But now Fu Tianji really considers Chen Guan his opponent, not because he has a mysterious divine pet, nor because he has so many strange and secret skills.

It was not because he was surprised by Chen Guan's ability to quickly recover his vital energy that he was so astonished. Even the strongest people in the Great Cave Heaven need to carefully calculate how much vital energy they use.

With Chen Guan's ability to recover vital energy, he will be an extremely formidable existence after advancing to the Cave Heaven or even the Great Cave Heaven.

As cultivators level up and their environment changes, they acquire more and more secret techniques, which become increasingly powerful. However, no matter how many or how powerful these techniques are, they still require vital energy to sustain combat.

Those powerful beings in grotto-heavens or great grotto-heavens often seek various methods to restore their vital energy.

Some people use elixirs, some use rare and precious materials, some use secret treasures, and some try to cultivate secret techniques to restore their vital energy.

The reason for this pursuit of energy recovery is that in that place, the energy of the spirits far exceeds that of humans due to their racial innate abilities, allowing them to unleash a wide variety of secret techniques.

Among those of the same level, it is very difficult for human cultivators to defeat peerless secret spirits of the same level in a one-on-one situation.

Therefore, the ability to quickly recover one's energy becomes extremely important, and often the ability to use a few more secret techniques can determine the outcome of a battle.

Human cultivators often need to use complex techniques to compete with spirits of the same level. The energy consumption of complex techniques is enormous, practically an energy black hole.

Chen Guan's ability to recover his vital energy was clearly not due to external force. In Fu Tianji's view, it was definitely an innate talent; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to recover so quickly and for so long.
