God of Pets

Instead of calling it a saber, it would be more apt to describe it as a tooth resembling a curved saber, about three feet in length.

This tooth is like a crescent moon, entirely a translucent jade green, akin to a ghostly crystal, with dark green veins running through it. The light within swirls, resembling the intelligence concentrated at the tip of the tooth.

The dark green veins interlace within, exhibiting infinite strange transformations, as if unfolding the profound mysteries of life.

"Isn't this a Secret Treasure?" Chen Guan observed the shape, which didn't resemble a Secret Treasure, yet it could be absorbed into the body, which was quite peculiar.

"This is a tooth of the Secret God of Cave Heaven, though not a Secret Treasure, its inherent strength surpasses all materials within the Blessed Land. As long as there's sufficient power, even top creatures within the Grotto Heaven can be harmed by it."

Fu Tianji held the Secret God's Tooth like a saber with his left hand, approaching Chen Guan once more: "Can your Body Protection Secret Skill withstand it?"

Chen Guan furrowed his brow slightly, his mind racing as he considered whether to fight or flee.

The tooth of the Secret God of Cave Heaven — Azure Heaven Dominating Body might not be able to withstand it, yet he couldn't evade Fu Tianji's Celestial Gate Left-Hand Saber.

If combat was the choice, then employing the Pure Yang Sword Immortal was the only path left.

Someone like Fu Tianji, having lived so long and seen so much, would not be easily provoked into insulting the Emperor Ancestor. Even saying something baffling might allow him to discern something.

Chen Guan had already made up his mind and was about to act when suddenly a voice echoed from the void: "The third round of tests has concluded... The fourth round begins..."

Before Fu Tianji could act, a terrifying tornado swept in, lifting everyone and their pets into the sky.

The tornado, massive and seemingly as if connecting heaven and earth like Mount Buzhou, enveloped the entire Tiger Mountain.

Within the terrifying winds, everyone and every pet in Tiger Mountain were lifted, at the mercy of the gusts, eventually being hurled into the sky.

The apocalyptic tornado spanned a thousand miles, sweeping everything within Tiger Mountain.

Chen Guan retracted the other pets back into his body, trying to grab Warring States, yet in this dreadful storm, there was nothing he could do but tumble and soar, having no clue where Warring States was swept.

Bam!

Chen Guan, disoriented beyond measure, was suddenly released by the wind and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Crying out in pain, he then heard a dog's whimper nearby.

Immediately opening his eyes, he saw Warring States had landed not far away, already struggling to stand up, seemingly unscathed.

Surveying the surroundings, he found himself in a cave, the mouth mere meters away, beyond which lay rolling clouds like an ocean, with a precipitous cliff just beyond.

It seemed they had been swept atop Fierce Tiger Mountain, yet were inside a cave, which clearly wasn't normal.

Warring States growled low towards the depths of the cave, sensing danger.

Turning his head, Chen Guan saw a spotted fierce tiger lying inside, resembling the one that dispensed rewards.

However, to Chen Guan, all tigers looked similar. As long as their size wasn't much different, he found them hard to differentiate.

The cave was spacious, the fierce tiger lay on a huge rock, looking down coldly at the growling Warring States, standing up slowly.

The next second, standing atop the rock, it raised its head and let out a tiger roar.

The sound, like a super bass cannon, shocked Chen Guan and Warring States' hearts as if struck by thunder, their eardrums throbbed, heads spinning, eyes seeing stars.

Warring States had already collapsed, whereas Chen Guan barely managed to stay upright, though none of his protective methods seemed effective.

Fortunately, the tiger roar didn't last long, and Warring States got up, tail between legs, hiding behind Chen Guan, daring only to peek at the fierce tiger.

"Too weak... And talent too lacking... It cannot represent my Fierce Tiger Mountain..." The fierce tiger stared at Warring States, surprisingly speaking human words.

"Since my pet fails to meet your satisfaction, could you allow us to leave?" Chen Guan asked.

"I don't want to keep it here either, yet it already received part of the Fierce Tiger Inheritance. It's too late to leave now." The tiger sighed.

Chen Guan hurriedly asked for clarification, wanting to know what the fourth round of tests entailed.

The tiger reclined again on the giant stone, slowly explaining the fourth round's content.

Chen Guan initially thought the fierce tiger was the fourth test itself, which wasn't the case.

The true content of the fourth round was that Secret Spirit Warring States, bearing the Fierce Tiger Inheritance, had to defeat other Secret Spirits bearing the Fierce Tiger Inheritance and reclaim other Fierce Tiger Inheritances, ultimately becoming the true Fierce Tiger Inheritor.

The Fierce Tiger Inheritor must represent Fierce Tiger Mountain to battle the Divine Dragon Mountain's inheritor, defeating the Divine Dragon Inheritor.

However, that wasn't the fourth round's content; the fourth round only required defeating other Fierce Tiger Inheritors to obtain the complete Fierce Tiger Inheritance.

According to the fierce tiger, the inheritance battle could only be fought by the inheritors themselves; even the masters of the inheritors couldn't intervene in their battles.

Chen Guan glanced at Warring States, then thought about Fu Tianji and Yang Hu's pets, pondering, "How can there be any possibility of winning this?"

"If Fierce Tiger Mountain wants to choose a powerful Secret Spirit as the Fierce Tiger Inheritor, why not directly find a powerful Secret Spirit to inherit, instead of making such a fuss. Even if you want a survival of the fittest scenario, you should set a threshold. How can you let such weak pets participate in the inheritance battle?" Chen Guan frowned and questioned.

If it was truly to be fought this way, Warring States seemed doomed.

"Because luck is also part of strength. Since it could become the Fierce Tiger Inheritor, there's a reason for it." The tiger was surprisingly patient.

It actually showed a humane smile: "Moreover, the reason for not directly choosing an inheritor but opting for multiple inheritances and letting inheritors fight each other is that through this method, an inheritor can not only reclaim another inheritance but also obtain the superior talents that the Fierce Tiger Inheritance received from them."

Chen Guan immediately understood: "So, in the end, the inheritor can receive the complete inheritance as well as the talents of all other inheritors?"

"Exactly." The tiger nodded slightly.

Chen Guan smiled wryly. If combining so many types of Secret Spirit talents, even the worst talent would turn this pet into an outstanding one, not to mention with the Fierce Tiger Inheritance.

Sadly, with Warring States being such a weakling, how could it possibly contend with other pets.

The gap between levels 10 and 20 is enormous. Even after three rounds of testing, raising Warring States' Growth Rate to 1.44, it still pales compared to a level 20 Unparalleled Pet.

"There's no need for concern; perhaps your pet won't even survive to meet other inheritors — it's too weak." The tiger's words made Chen Guan alert.
