God of Pets

Not only was Ximen Ding feeling incredulous, in fact, everyone in the reserve team, including the leaders, were extremely shocked.

Xiu Haofeng comes from a renowned elite family and has consumed countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. Whether in terms of physical strength or Primordial Energy, he is not comparable to an average cultivator.

What's more, he possesses a powerful talent like demon possession, and within the same level, the people who can defeat him are few and far between.

However, Chen Guan just slapped him so hard his face was deformed, and he hasn't been able to get up since, seemingly without the ability to fight anymore.

What's even more terrifying is that Chen Guan managed to withstand so many Shocking Wind Blade Energies, energies that even Secret Treasures of the same level would be unable to withstand. Facing them with a flesh and blood body, not even with training in Golden Bell Shield or Iron Cloth Shirt could one manage that.

At the same Secret Skill Level, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill cannot withstand the invincible Shocking Wind Blade Energy, let alone the Shocking Wind Blade Energy in a state of demon possession.

Even with the Unparalleled Body Protection Divine Skill, it's impossible to remain unscathed, yet Chen Guan didn't even have a red mark on him. Just how strong must the Body Protection Secret Skill be to achieve this level?

The Azure Heaven Dominating Body is a unique-scale Secret Technique, only one of its kind in the world, no one has ever possessed such a Secret Skill, naturally, no one would know its effects.

Unparalleled Secret Skills and Techniques are not one-of-a-kind, they are just relatively rare. They are labeled as Unparalleled because they have reached the highest standard in some respect, without an equivalent Secret Skill or Technique to compare.

But unique-scale Secret Techniques and Techniques are different. Despite various potential flaws, they are unique in themselves.

As long as Chen Guan doesn't speak of it, no one would know what Secret Technique he used, just thinking he possesses a top-tier Body Protection Divine Skill, never suspecting it is just a unique-scale Secret Technique.

The Azure Heaven Dominating Body itself is indeed very powerful, with the support of a massive amount of Primordial Energy, withstanding the Unparalleled Secret Skills of the same level is no problem.

However, being able to withstand without a scratch the Shocking Wind Blade Energy's extreme destructive power in demon possession also partly relies on the Secret Technique's power doubling from the Secret Technique of One, thus producing such a shocking effect.

Xiu Haofeng struggled a few times but couldn't stand up, his dislocated jaw wouldn't align, and a clear blood-red handprint was visible on his distorted face, with half of his face swollen.

Everyone was concerned about Xiu Haofeng's situation, yet Leng Zhe abruptly burst forth, rushed toward Chen Guan like lightning on horseback, and simultaneously spun his long spear to form spear flowers aiming at Chen Guan.

The others were still in shock, and hadn't come to their senses yet. Upon seeing Leng Zhe's actions, they suddenly realized what was happening.

To achieve such a strong Body Protection Divine Skill, the primordial energy consumption must be immense; otherwise, such defensive power isn't possible, and even the Unparalleled Secret Skill with low primordial energy consumption couldn't reach this level.

Therefore, it can be deduced that Chen Guan's primordial energy is surely scant or perhaps depleted by now.

At this moment, Leng Zhe delivered an all-out strike, taking advantage of Chen Guan's stage of primordial energy depletion to directly eliminate him, with both sides losing their commander, this duel still holds suspense, leaving the 1st team with a chance to turn the tables.

Everyone couldn't help but admire Leng Zhe's extraordinarily quick reaction.

Even the door team, also serving as commanders, hadn't reacted in time, realizing they're too late to rush in to save Chen Guan.

Chen Guan, bare-chested, still showed no intention of avoiding, aiming his wooden sword directly at the spear flowers.

Leng Zhe wasn't Xiu Haofeng; while his combat abilities were also powerful and his Secret Skills formidable, they couldn't achieve the impact of Earth-Shattering Thirteen Sabers. His spear flowers weren't Shocking Wind Blade Energies, only one was real, the others were deceptive phantoms conjured to confuse.

Chen Guan pierced with one sword thrust, directly hitting one of the spear flowers.

A crisp sound rang out, exploding along with Leng Zhe's spear tip, shattered into two halves by Chen Guan's sword, making it appear like a split bamboo pole, breaking down the middle.

"It's over!" Leng Zhe's face turned ashen; he knew there was no chance left in this battle.

The match was directly halted by the referee, announcing the 17th team's victory, and the medical team immediately rushed up, administering elixirs to Xiu Haofeng while others used Alien Elemental Energy to heal him.

As Xiu Haofeng lay on the stretcher being carried away, his misaligned face had a pair of eyes still fixed on Chen Guan.

He had never lost so miserably in his life, anger almost driving him insane inside.

Chen Guan, however, paid him no mind, leading his team away from the arena.

The grand competition continued; matches between the squads carried on, but Chen Guan's team had no further matches for the day. Tomorrow would be the 12 into 6 battles.

While the following matches were still quite exciting, they naturally couldn't compare to the showdown between Team 1 and Team 17, so much so that during the ongoing matches, people were still discussing that particular duel.

Before the first day's grand competition concluded, various rumors were already flying around everywhere.

Despite Chen Guan's astonishing performance, it didn't achieve true recognition; instead, teammates like the door team, An Yiqi, and even Bu Changning attracted significant attention.

It's not that Chen Guan isn't formidable; many consider him very powerful.

But Chen Guan's power didn't manifest his personal abilities; it relied on top-tier Secret Skills.

An unparalleled strong Body Protection Secret Skill, the exceptionally powerful Underworld Emperor's Sword, these demonstrate the Secret Skills' own power rather than Chen Guan's techniques or abilities.

As is known, a cultivator's primordial energy isn't limitless, meaning the usage frequency of Secret Skills is also limited; being strong without primordial energy to deploy Secret Skills is the real strength.

Everyone acknowledges Chen Guan is strong, but when he can't use Secret Skills, will he be just as strong? Most people don't think so.

Because when not using Secret Skills, Chen Guan's riding skill or spear technique appears ordinary, with nothing outstanding, seemingly just coasting along with his team.

Each team is researching how to counter Chen Guan's two powerful Secret Skills, not focusing on how to defeat Chen Guan himself.

"Who made him have such a good girlfriend?" This sentiment was prevalent among the reserve team, with many believing that Chen Guan's formidable Body Protection Secret Skill must have been a gesture from Miss Ji, specifically for Chen Guan's protection.

A Body Protection Secret Skill this powerful, achieving such terrifying effects during the First Awakening, isn't something an ordinary person could obtain.

Chen Guan also heard these remarks but didn't mind what others said, letting it roll off his back.

If there was such a relationship perk to enjoy, he wouldn't refuse it. His only issue is that he hasn't been able to capitalize on Ji Nanhong's supposed favor, apart from joining the reserve team with a free meal card, he hadn't gained any other benefits.

Both the door team and An Yiqi were very excited, having defeated such a strong team as Team 1, they saw a good chance of claiming the first place.

With such a strong commander like Chen Guan, plus Bu Changning surprisingly possessing a Pupil Technique Secret Skill, even though it could only achieve mutual elimination, it was already very useful.

"Now our only concern is the Three-Strong Rank battle." mused the door team.
