God of Pets Chapter 905: You Don’t Dare

"Are you sure?" Feng Wuci reassessed and scrutinized Chen Guan.

Chen Guan’s unusual conduct left her a bit astonished. Although she also wished for Chen Guan’s demise, she still tried to figure out the true motive behind his actions.

Anyone could see that Xiu Jie Ming was about to lose.

No one would be foolish enough to bet their life on Xiu Jie Ming winning at such a time, especially when Chen Guan was only betting for an apology, which held no real benefit.

Feng Wuci didn’t think Chen Guan was the kind of fool who would act rashly; if he were, he wouldn’t have lived until now, nor achieved his current success.

"What exactly is he trying to do? What on earth is he plotting?" Feng Wuci kept scrutinizing Chen Guan and pondering.

"Of course I’m sure. It’s a surefire bet, why wouldn’t I be sure?" Chen Guan looked at Xiu Jie Ming on the fighting stage and said, "Xiu Jie Ming is destined to become the new Chief Judge, there’s no dispute about that."

"And how is he destined to become the Chief Judge? Are you the one who destined him? Who do you think you are? A Ghost Daoist? Or God?" Feng Wuci replied disdainfully.

"I’m no one, just someone who understands Xiu Jie Ming. As long as he doesn’t want to lose, no one can make him lose." Chen Guan looked intently at Feng Wuci and said, "I believe he will definitely win. Do you dare to bet with me? Do you believe Qi Tianxin can win?"

"Of course I believe. In fact, whether I believe it or not, my husband will definitely win. What you’re saying is nothing but unrealistic delusion," Feng Wuci said coldly.

Chen Guan laughed, "You say so much, but you’re not saying you’d bet. So you’re scared, you’re afraid to bet with me because you don’t have confidence in your husband, or maybe you don’t understand him, you can’t be sure he’ll definitely win. In that case, there’s no point in making this bet. After all, who would accept a bet they must make?"

With that, Chen Guan turned around and left.

Feng Wuci’s eyes were incredibly grim, and her expression was ever-changing.

She was pondering whether Chen Guan was bluffing her, putting on a show to undermine her, or if he truly believed that Xiu Jie Ming would win.

Feng Wuci was clearly not an impulsive person. Even though she felt strongly that Chen Guan was bluffing, trying to mess with her mindset, she still didn’t directly take up Chen Guan’s bet.

In some ways, what Chen Guan said wasn’t wrong. Feng Wuci wasn’t 100% confident in Qi Tianxin, or in fact, she wouldn’t trust anyone, only herself.

So Feng Wuci considered many things, but ultimately said nothing and let Chen Guan return to the Xiu Family’s camp.

She didn’t want her pride and emotions to give Chen Guan any opportunity.

But in her heart, she already hated Chen Guan intensely, vowing to make him pay after the election.

Seeing Feng Wuci endure like this, Chen Guan didn’t say anything more.

Feng Wuci believed she gave Chen Guan no opportunity, but indeed, Chen Guan had already done what he intended.

The words he just spoke were not meant to humiliate Feng Wuci, but rather for Xiu Jie Ming to hear.

With so many strong fighters present, he couldn’t use any means to assist Xiu Jie Ming. The Secret Law was out of the question; it would definitely be detected.

The only method that would go unnoticed was the Spirit of the Cheerleaders.

Chen Guan didn’t know how much effect his Spirit of the Cheerleaders could have on Xiu Jie Ming. Normally, it would have some effect, but it wouldn’t be too strong.

Because Xiu Jie Ming was someone who had been inspired into the Absolute Secret State by the Spirit of the Cheerleaders, not everyone can be inspired into the Absolute Secret State.

In fact, most people and Secret Spirits, after being inspired by the Spirit of the Cheerleaders, experience only temporary boosts, with only a very few individuals and Secret Spirits gaining permanent enhancements.

For humans, permanent enhancement equates to achieving the Absolute Secret State, whereas for Secret Spirits, it’s about improving quality or level, with a distinction between the two.

Humans don’t improve in quality like Secret Spirits do, and Secret Spirits have never exhibited the Absolute Secret State.

Similarly, only humans and Secret Spirits with good enough talent can achieve permanent enhancement.

But this enhancement isn’t infinite. People already inspired into the Absolute Secret State won’t experience significant further boosts with repeated inspiration, usually only experiencing temporary benefits, enhancing temporary combat power.

As for how much enhancement can be gained, it varies for different individuals.

Chen Guan didn’t know how effective it could be, only that he tried his best.

Now, it seemed the effect was very limited, at least there was no apparent improvement in Xiu Jie Ming’s situation, and his combat power didn’t seem to change significantly.

That’s all Chen Guan could do, returning to his seat to continue watching the fight.

Initially, Feng Wuci and the others were concerned whether Chen Guan had employed any techniques, but as time went on, Xiu Jie Ming’s condition worsened, his divine patterns faded, and defeat appeared inevitable.

At this moment, Feng Wuci felt some regret, believing she’d been tricked by Chen Guan. If she’d accepted his bet earlier, she could have justifiably taken action against Chen Guan following Xiu Jie Ming’s defeat.

Chen Guan sought his own demise. Even if Zhong came, there wouldn’t be anything he’d have to say; Feng Wuci wouldn’t be to blame.

However, regretting now seemed too late as Xiu Jie Ming’s defeat was imminent, his body already unable to withstand Qi Tianxin’s tactics.

Qi Tianxin wielded a sword, devoid of swordlight or a strong power aura, appearing ordinary, as if just a ceremonial artifact.

However, with each swing of the sword, it left a deep wound, visible to the bone, on Xiu Jie Ming’s almost impervious body.

Yet, Qi Tianxin hadn’t even come close to Xiu Jie Ming, nor was there any swordlight or anything shooting toward Xiu Jie Ming from the sword; how Xiu Jie Ming got injured was unclear.

"That sword... seems to be the Secret God’s Treasure Emperor’s Above Sword... supposedly in Long Yuming’s hands... After Long Yuming disappeared... the Emperor’s Above Sword vanished too... Unexpectedly, it ended up in Qi Tianxin’s hands... That Long Yuming..." Qin Qiu pondered and said.

He didn’t finish, but others understood, fearing Long Yuming was most likely harmed by Qi Tianxin.

Chen Guan also heard of Long Yuming and the Emperor’s Above Sword, mainly because the Emperor’s Above Sword was too renowned as a Secret Treasure.

The Emperor’s Above Sword holds two terrifying characteristics: one that ignores defense, and the other, sword power that always hits.

Ignoring defense is already a powerful Secret Treasure attribute, but sword power that always hits is even more frightening.

Common strike-confirming attributes merely ensure the sword hits the opponent.

However, the sword power that always hits of the Emperor’s Above Sword doesn’t require contact with the opponent. As long as it’s slashed out and locks onto a target, no matter where the enemy is, they will be struck.

It could be said that the Emperor’s Above Sword is a terrifying Secret Treasure that can claim a head from thousands of miles away.
