God of Pets

Chen Guan had also put in hard work practicing fighting skills because he didn't know he would possess the Secret Technique of One, allowing him to always use Secret Skills.

For ordinary cultivators, fighting skills are an important ability, so Chen Guan did put in the effort and understood how high the skill value of Shang Ziyi was.

If not using Secret Skills, Chen Guan estimated he would have been defeated long ago.

Of course, this also includes the reason of level disparity.

Shang Ziyi's entire state looked relaxed, yet every strike was exceptionally fierce.

And when Chen Guan wanted to counterattack, he found he couldn't seize the opportunity at all. Shang Ziyi had a unique rhythm to his entire being, and under that rhythm, Chen Guan felt he couldn't grasp the timing to attack.

No matter when he struck, it seemed difficult to hit Shang Ziyi.

Now Chen Guan finally understood why Xiu Yingmei felt so uncomfortable facing Shang Ziyi; this guy's sense of rhythm and reaction speed were simply unparalleled.

Occasionally when Chen Guan counterattacked once or twice, Shang Ziyi evaded with minimal movement, leaving Chen Guan's attacks just short.

Originally, Shang Ziyi saw Chen Guan constantly using Secret Skills and laughed internally, waiting for Chen Guan's primordial energy to be exhausted before dealing with him.

But after a while, he noticed Chen Guan's primordial energy seemed inexhaustible as he kept using it incessantly. Instantly he knew Chen Guan must have a way to quickly recover energy, making his fighting spirit even stronger.

He directly let go of his hands, relying only on footwork to approach Chen Guan, as if saying: "Come... hit me..."

Chen Guan swung several punches but found he couldn't hit Shang Ziyi; his Blood Hand Seal was always just inches away from Shang Ziyi.

It was completely dodged by Shang Ziyi's continuous changes in footwork and body technique.

Once, Chen Guan's Blood Hand Seal was less than two centimeters away from Shang Ziyi's retreating face, yet it was just short of hitting.

"Elegant... truly too elegant... no wonder he's the human martial arsenal Shang Ziyi..." Duan Shulin couldn't help but praise from the sideline.

"To train bones and muscles to such a degree, controlling even the minutest muscle and bone naturally and effortlessly, combined with top-level skill application and extraordinary reaction ability, it's extremely rare. If only considering physical fighting ability, I've never seen anyone as formidable as Shang Ziyi." Qin Ziyu, however, was a bit worried: "Is Chen Guan constantly using Secret Skills alright?"

"No problem, old Guan has the rapid recovery talent, such a degree is no issue for him." Duan Shulin said with a smile.

He wasn't worried at all. No matter how strong Shang Ziyi is, can he be stronger than the Third Awakening's ferocious Mutated Demon Blood Qilin?

Chen Guan is a man who once faced the ferocious Mutated Demon Blood Qilin head-on; this level of fighting simply couldn't faze him.

"Wanting to use only fighting skills to defeat old Guan, Shang Ziyi is miscalculating." Duan Shulin added.

Qin Ziyu nodded and stopped speaking, continuing to watch the battle.

Chen Guan's fists couldn't hit Shang Ziyi, but Shang Ziyi's fists also couldn't hit Chen Guan. Suddenly, Shang Ziyi's footwork changed, the entire body seeming to split apart, each part attacking Chen Guan in various incredible ways.

For a moment, even Senluo Ghost Step found it difficult to cope; Shang Ziyi's bizarre Scorpion Tail Swing was about to strike Chen Guan's head.

Chen Guan's body suddenly accelerated as if equipped with jet propulsion, shifting three or four meters horizontally, causing Shang Ziyi's Scorpion Tail Swing to miss.

The acceleration ability of One-Night Step is much stronger than Senluo Ghost Step; after all, using One-Night Step consumes 36 points of primordial energy at once, with explosive power and speed incomparable to Senluo Ghost Step.

"Someone who only uses Secret Skills...will eventually be backfired by the Secret Skills... you're too reliant on it...It's already the Secret Skills using you...instead of you using the Secret Skills...let me teach you how to use Secret Skills..." Shang Ziyi's eyes seemed to shine, his body abruptly accelerated.

He also used Secret Skills, but the timing was after Chen Guan used One-Night Step, when the power was about to exhaust yet not completely.

In such a situation, a normal cultivator who had just used such a strong secret skill would consume a lot of primordial energy, making it difficult to use a high-energy consumption secret skill again.

Shang Ziyi seized this opportunity to directly explode with superb speed through Secret Skills, aiming to crush Chen Guan with one strike.

Shang Ziyi's muscles knotted, his thighs stronger and thicker than others' waists, erupted unexpected power, seemingly rocketing towards Chen Guan, hands like devil's claws reaching for Chen Guan's neck.

He thought Chen Guan couldn't possibly escape, so he didn't use his fists, intending to first control Chen Guan.

But in the next moment, Shang Ziyi only felt Chen Guan's figure blur, his fingers grasping just an illusion, while Chen Guan had retreated several meters.

"His primordial energy recovery speed is that fast?" Shang Ziyi slightly frowned, staring at Chen Guan without immediately pursuing.

After Chen Guan used One-Night Step to retreat, seeing Shang Ziyi not pursuing, he also stopped.

"Amazing rapid energy recovery ability." Shang Ziyi looked at Chen Guan and said coldly.

Although these words seemed to commend Chen Guan, they also sarcastically implied Chen Guan merely relied on energy to use Secret Skills.

Chen Guan said nothing, but his body relaxed, imitating Shang Ziyi's posture.

Chen Guan seldom abstained from using Secret Skills, believing there's no need to neglect his advantages and instead use weaknesses to counter others' strengths.

However, today was different; he wanted to learn Shang Ziyi's fighting techniques.

Secret Skills are beneficial, but they are merely techniques for primordial energy exertion, like Blood Hand Seal or Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm, which can enhance palm power. However, hitting the opponent requires cooperation with fighting skills.

Senluo Ghost Step and One-Night Step can increase Chen Guan's movement speed and perform unimaginable movement techniques, but deciding where to move and when still requires Chen Guan's consideration, supported by fighting techniques.

Of course, Chen Guan could also crazily stack skills, overwhelm the opponent using Secret Skills.

But facing some high-level Secret Spirits and cultivators, strategies are needed for combat.

Undoubtedly, Shang Ziyi is a master of fighting techniques; Chen Guan only realized after personal experience how impressive Xiu Yingmei was to be able to fight against Shang Ziyi at that level.

It can only be said that Xiu Yingmei lost not because she was weak, but because Shang Ziyi was too strong.

Seeing Chen Guan relaxing his body, imitating him, Shang Ziyi revealed a mocking smile: "Trying to learn from me?"
