God of Pets

Rouge did not use her claws to catch it, but instead pierced the Vermilion Fruit with the tip of her blade.

The tip of the blade sank into the gaps between the blood stains, and instantly, a blood-like juice flowed down the edge of the blade and was absorbed into the blade itself.

As the juice flowed out, the Vermilion Fruit gradually shriveled until there was only a skin left. Instead of stopping her use of the Blood-sucking Technique, Rouge increased the suction.

Soon, the already drained skin of the Vermilion Fruit started to combust under the powerful suction.

The crimson flames made the blood-stained spots glimmer like gemstones under the light, shimmering like molten magma.

When the other parts had been burned to ashes, the blood stains became even more dazzling, yet they did not melt nor were absorbed into the blade.

The Evil Adorable Rabbit's body trembled violently; she had used all her strength but had no way to absorb those blood stains.

Just as Chen Guan was contemplating whether he should assist Rouge, she opened her mouth full of sharp teeth, bent down, extended her tongue, and licked the blood off the tip of the blade, swallowing it whole.

The moment this action was completed, crimson mist rose from Rouge's body, appearing just like blood.

Soon, her entire body was enveloped by the blood mist, suggesting an entry into the Second Awakening state. Chen Guan summoned the Ghost-Eyed Python to guard by her side.

The blood mist seemed to have a life of its own, swirling around Rouge incessantly, growing denser, with occasional blood lights tumbling within, appearing exceptionally eerie.

Chen Guan waited for several hours before the blood mist gradually withdrew and dissipated, revealing Rouge's true form.

Before Chen Guan could see what Rouge looked like now, she directly transformed into particles and returned inside his body, unable to be summoned again.

Without needing a look, Chen Guan knew Rouge had undergone Second Awakening because the pet information in his mind had already changed.

Bloodthirsty Evil Adorable Rabbit (Secret God): Level 11 Spirit Pet.

Blood-sucking Spiritual Energy: 21.91.

Growth Rate: 2.91.

Lifebound Talent: Bloodthirsty Resurgence (Secret God).

Secret Technique: Level 11 Blood-sucking Technique (Secret God).

Secret Skill: Level 11 Bloodthirsty Blade Technique (Secret God).

Secret Treasure: Level 11 Bloodthirsty Saber (Secret God).

Chen Guan could hardly believe the information he saw. A single Vermilion Fruit not only increased the Evil Adorable Rabbit's Growth Rate from 1.91 to 2.91, but added a whole 1 to the Growth Rate.

The quality even got elevated to Secret God, and all abilities improved to the Secret God quality, which was unbelievable to Chen Guan.

"Is the Spirit Devouring God truly so powerful? Just being stained by its blood on the Vermilion Fruit gives such incredible effects." Chen Guan felt an urge to rush to Cuiyun Mountain and pick all the Vermilion Fruits.

There are more than ten Vermilion Fruits there, which means one could create more than ten Secret God pets.

Even he could use the Vermilion Fruit for his own Second Awakening.

"Something doesn't feel right, this feels off, is such a treasure truly so easy to obtain?" Chen Guan forced himself to abandon the greed in his heart and recounted to Ming Fei the cause and effect of obtaining the Vermilion Fruit to see if she knew anything.

"I have never been to Cuiyun Mountain, nor heard of the Holy Horned White Deer, but just by what you told, Cuiyun Mountain should have existed a terrifying Secret God, the Holy Horned White Deer is definitely not an ordinary unique Secret Spirit, it could likely be one of the Secret Gods." Ming Fei said with a strange expression.

"If I were you, I wouldn't go there again, any place that could be stained with the blood of the Spirit Devouring God is unimaginably terrifying."

Not getting any useful information further, Chen Guan was slightly disappointed, and put Ming Fei away.

However, he took Ming Fei's words to heart—it's better not to go. He also felt those Vermilion Fruits definitely had problems; Secret God pets cannot be created so easily.

Chen Guan even suspected that only this one Vermilion Fruit was stained with the Spirit Devouring God's blood, and the Holy Horned White Deer was using this one fruit to ensnare him.

Having reached Level 10, Chen Guan packed up to go back, needing to check resources and study what kind of Secret Spirit to use for the Second Awakening.

Men Squad and An Yiqi were also troubled by this matter, as their current strength naturally aimed to use Unparalleled Secret Spirits as their foundation for Second Awakening.

But Unparalleled Secret Spirits for Second Awakening were really hard to find, many places were barred as forbidden zones by the Celestial Court Army, even if they had the capability to kill, they weren't permitted entry.

Such high-quality resources aren't for anyone to go and hunt at their will.

Therefore, Men Squad and An Yiqi were torn about whether to settle for lesser quality Secret Spirits for their Second Awakening.

Chen Guan also found some materials, showing within the explored areas of Beimang Mountain, indeed there were several level-10 Unparalleled Secret Spirits, but such resources, he was not qualified to hunt.

Unless they were willing to explore uncharted areas, otherwise the only option was to leave the Beimang Mountain Blessed Land for other Blessed Lands, spending heavily to enter and buy an opportunity to hunt a Second-Awakening Unparalleled Secret Spirit.

After all, Beimang Mountain was the territory of the Celestial Court Army; it wasn't a place for business, it depended on whether one had authority at that level.

As for the monthly random tasks, they were for these First Awakening squad members to accomplish, not released to hunt level-10 Unparalleled Secret Spirit tasks.

Relying on accomplishing golden missions for Second Awakening is simply impossible.

While Chen Guan was considering which Secret Realm to hunt for Unparalleled Secret Spirits, Men Squad brought some news.

The Reserve Team's competition was about to start, Men Squad asked Chen Guan if he wanted to participate.

Finding out that the top three in each competition could earn a lot of points, with the first place granting an opportunity to hunt a Second-Awakening Unparalleled creature, Chen Guan naturally wouldn't miss such an advantage.

Cultivation of the Secret Technique of One consumed resources heavily; more points for exchanging Qi Replenishing Pills was beneficial, as without elixir assistance, it was extremely difficult to upgrade the Secret Technique of One.

"If you want to join the competition, there's a troublesome affair now." Men Squad said hesitantly.

"Men Squad, what matter is so difficult, this seems unlike your style," Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"The competition tests a squad's team combat capability, thus requires at least four members in a team to register for the competition. Our Squad 17 currently just has the three of us, missing one more person," Men Squad replied.

Chen Guan understood immediately, after he had tricked the other members, the Reserve Team had mixed opinions about him.

Most people thought he was too ruthless and merciless, driving Bu Changning mad was no big deal—it was Bu Changning's deserved fate—but the other members had it quite tough; they merely wanted to protect themselves and hadn't done anything too excessive.

Also, Squad 17's reputation was already poor, being composed of some connection members, along with Xiu Haofeng's intimidation, so no one was willing to transfer to Squad 17, and the Reserve Team hadn't recruited newcomers lately, leaving Squad 17 with just the three of them, without any replenishments.

"Again, it's Xiu Haofeng, this is truly a little troublesome." Chen Guan didn't care what others thought, but arranging members temporarily was difficult, and nobody would be willing to transfer to Squad 17 now.

"Bu Changning is still at Hospital 13, right?" Chen Guan suddenly remembered Bu Changning. Now, wanting to recruit someone into Squad 17 isn't realistic, just find a way to have Bu Changning's name listed under Squad 17; it doesn't require him to appear.
