God of Pets

Chapter 495 Regret

"This person... is perfect as my host body..." The Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons was overjoyed upon realizing Chen Guan's potential.

Chen Guan's murderous intent was a perfect match for her; they were a match made in heaven.

Wang Lian's talent can only support her in cultivating sword intent or saber intent, which, although it can resonate with the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons, is somewhat one-sided.

Killing intent can be combined with various weapons; this is the perfect match.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers wished he could immediately throw himself into Chen Guan's arms, sign a contract with him, and experience the feeling of a combined attack.

But considering she had just stormed off, she felt a little embarrassed to go out now.

"If you're good at killing intent, then you should have said so earlier!" the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons thought bitterly.

But then he thought about it again, Chen Guan had only just begun to grasp the essence of killing intent, and he probably didn't even know that he was good at it.

"Just from the artistic conception I casually displayed, he was able to comprehend the killing intent and even control it at will. This person's talent is truly terrifying. He is the perfect candidate to be my host body." The Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons was now somewhat regretful.

Regretfully leaving, she should have completed the final step: infusing her own intent into Chen Guan's body to help his killing intent grow, while also monitoring his physical condition to understand his secret techniques, vital energy, and innate talent.

Looking back now, the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers simply cannot overcome the hurdle in his own heart.

"His killing intent is only just beginning; he'll have other opportunities in the future," the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers comforted himself.

"Can you achieve enlightenment through the understanding of the artistic conception?" Wang Lian asked Chen Guan.

"I can't achieve enlightenment." Chen Guan shook his head.

"Is the artistic conception not enough?" Wang Lian asked again.

“No, didn’t I tell you before that it’s really not easy for me to achieve enlightenment now?” Chen Guan said.

"Why?" Wang Lian asked, puzzled.

"My level isn't 30 yet, so I probably can't achieve enlightenment, right?"

Wang Lian never expected this to be the reason, and she couldn't believe that Chen Guan, who was so strong, was not even level 30.

"I've been meaning to say this for a while, and you said it was no problem," Chen Guan sighed.

"If it's only one or two levels away, we can still find a way," Wang Lian said helplessly. How could she have imagined that Chen Guan wasn't even level 30? This shouldn't be the case.

But the palm strike he delivered to the Wailing Wall was something no level 30 could accomplish.

“It’s not just a difference of one or two levels,” Chen Guan said.

Wang Lian was almost vomiting blood from hearing this. If he was still three or four levels away from level 30, how could he possibly achieve enlightenment? There was simply no chance.

"Although I haven't achieved enlightenment, I've still gained something. Being able to grasp the essence of the concept is not bad, and it will be very helpful for my future enlightenment," Wang Lian said.

"I have to thank you and the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers for this," Chen Guan said with a half-smile.

He was somewhat looking forward to seeing how Wang Lian would react when she found out that Zi Donglai was Chen Guan. "I've said before that I want to be your friend, your comrade-in-arms. These are things that friends and comrades-in-arms should do." Wang Lian thought this was fine too. Although she hadn't been able to help Zi Donglai reach the fourth level of enlightenment, she had still provided him with some assistance.

"Of course, we've always been friends, and still good friends," Chen Guan said with a smile.

Wang Lian, however, assumed that Chen Guan had agreed with her and was in a great mood: "I'm with Gushan and Zipao now, and they are trustworthy friends. Why don't we work together and discuss how to deal with the current situation?"

"Okay," Chen Guan readily agreed.

Wang Lian brought Chen Guan and Teng Mingli back to their previous room. Zi Pao and Gu Shan were waiting for news from her, but when they saw Wang Lian bring Chen Guan back, they couldn't help but frown slightly.

In their view, Chen Guan was still here, either because he had failed to achieve enlightenment, or because he had successfully awakened for the fourth time but had not been teleported out, which meant that this place was the cave heaven.

Neither of these options is good news for them.

“Brother Zi’s level is not high enough, and he cannot achieve enlightenment yet. However, he is willing to cooperate with us. More people mean more strength, which is always better than fighting alone. Moreover, Brother Zi’s strength is comparable to that of several young masters from famous families.” Wang Lian knew that he had brought the person back without consulting Gu Shan and the others, which was a bit unethical, so he made a point of explaining.

Lonely Mountain and Purple Robe didn't dwell on this point. They had witnessed Chen Guan's strength, and if Chen Guan were truly willing to cooperate with them, this place wouldn't be without its benefits.

"Since we're all on the same side, let's call the commander out and discuss this together," Gu Shan said, glancing at Chen Guan and Teng Mingli.

Without Wang Lian summoning him, the Lord of War emerged from her body on his own.

"Your killing intent needs more practice; you will surely achieve great things in the future," the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons said to Chen Guan as he emerged.

Seeing the Lord of Ten Thousand Soldiers' actions, Gushan and Zipao completely accepted Chen Guan and Teng Mingli into their small group.

The group then analyzed the current situation. When Chen Guan heard them say that this was the secret garden of the Soul Devouring God, he was both surprised and delighted.

"Could it be that... the reason the Wall of Sighs dragged us in is because I once fused with the blood of the Soul Devouring God and awakened a second time..." Chen Guan thought to himself.

If that's the case, does that mean his spiritual power, which contains the characteristics of the Soul Devouring God, has a special function here?

"Could it be that the spirit guarding this vegetable garden mistook me for the Soul Devouring God, which is why it let me in? Does that mean I can eat all the rare and precious herbs here without being punished by the guardian spirit?" Chen Guan's speculations grew.

But these are just guesses; he wouldn't dare to eat those rare and precious herbs if he caught a cold.

After all, life is only once, and once you make a mistake, there is no second chance.

After discussing it for a while, the group still needed to figure out whether this place was a blessed land or a hidden paradise, otherwise it would be difficult to make a targeted plan.

“Actually, we don’t need to rush. There are definitely people who are more eager to escape than we are. They will also think of this method. As long as we see if any other people leave, we can naturally know whether this place is a blessed land or a grotto-heaven,” Chen Guan said.

After thinking it over, the group realized that this was the only option for now. Although the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons hadn't said anything, they all knew that she was overexerted and probably couldn't be replaced by someone else to use Sword Heart Clarity.

After discussing it, the group was preparing to go back to their rooms to rest when they suddenly felt the whole room shake.

"An enemy attack?" The alarm blared in the corridor outside the room, and many people came out of their rooms and gathered at the various platforms where they could see the situation outside.

Chen Guan and his group also arrived at a platform. Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, they saw a huge red bear, even larger than a giant dragon, with a body as clear as jade and every hair like a translucent red agate, rubbing its body against the giant tree nest, causing the nest to shake violently.
