After this battle, Chen Guan established his prestige within the team, and seldom did anyone question his commands like before.

Chen Guan simply rode on the Ghost-eyed Serpent; when encountering groups of Secret Spirits, he summoned Rouge to slay the spirits and absorb their blood, and he carried Paperman with him to slowly gain experience and level up.

Although Chen Guan didn't know exactly what experience Paperman was absorbing, it seemed to level up faster recently. After slaying a group of Night Wandering Ghosts, it even reached level 9, which was much quicker than before.

Because of Chen Guan's permission, the cultivators in his team also changed onto their pet mounts one after another and began to summon their pets to fight alongside them, just like Chen Guan.

This kind of behavior is generally not allowed in the army, especially in temporary teams like the Pioneer Corps, which typically do not permit the riding or summoning of personal pets for combat.

Because the battle array requires uniformity, various pets have different sizes and abilities, making it impossible to maintain formation in combat. Additionally, pets have different behavior patterns, which makes unified control and management difficult, rendering it unreliable in warfare.

In such temporary teams, pets are usually only considered as vanguard cannon fodder, initiating a charge to test the opponent's strength, making it difficult to achieve coordination between pets and the team.

Many famous Pet Corps required strict and lengthy training to reach the level of coordination between pets and the corps.

A team like Chen Guan's, if facing a large-scale fierce battle, might find its pets and soldiers mutually influencing each other, or even mistakenly causing harm within the team.

"Captain, isn't there a problem with how we're marching?" An Zhiqi was somewhat worried.

"What problem could there be? I think everyone is skillful at controlling their pets, and the battle formation is very proficient, so achieving man-pet coordination isn't difficult. This is the perfect opportunity to train with these Secret Spirits, we'll manage soon." Chen Guan said calmly.

The members, hearing this, all felt that Chen Guan was right. With someone as strong as Chen Guan praising them, they were surely doing well.

After all, one cannot be considered weak if they have entered the Celestial Court Army.

Most are not truly incapable; rather, they lack good opportunities and resources.

"Is that something you can just train casually? Many Pet Corps have been cultivated by big shots, who've invested tremendous effort and resources, paying great attention to battle formation and pets. We're leagues away from them." An Zhiqi, who had been diligent in studying and cultivating lately, was aware of the difficulty in nurturing a Pet Corps.

However, since Chen Guan said so, An Zhiqi didn't rebut. He was following Chen Guan, so whatever Chen Guan says must have his own reasoning.

An Zhiqi never expected Chen Guan's plan was to cultivate this motley crew into a Pet Corps, enabling them to coordinate with their pets in combat.

Thus, along the way, Chen Guan occasionally used the Spirit of the Cheerleaders to motivate them, and after several small-scale battles, the team's cooperation became increasingly smooth.

The team members enjoyed fighting more and more, each wreaking havoc with their pets, the Secret Spirits suffering greatly wherever they went.

Chen Guan couldn't help but sigh that slaying Secret Spirits truly was a quick way to make money; over a thousand Night Wandering Ghosts were decimated in just one charge.

With soldiers and pets combined, Chen Guan's team had already grown to three to four thousand combat units.

Many were riding one pet while controlling two pets for coordinated combat. Normally, in intense battles, they would definitely influence one another and even become chaotic.

Yet they became increasingly smooth in their combat, their coordination improving inexplicably along the way.

"So impressive... Captain is truly remarkable... He's a born commander... This temporary team was turned into a Pet Corps by him... Simply miraculous... Compared to him... The Gate Team's leadership cannot be considered strong at all... No... It's entirely incomparable... Even the Gate Team couldn't just transform a bunch of ordinary soldiers into a Pet Corps during leadership." An Yiqi observed this situation, looking at Chen Guan as if seeing a god he worshipped.

"I have to learn well under the captain; even if I can't grasp the essence, if I put in hard work, I can still learn some fundamentals. Later when the captain becomes a Corps Commander, I can be his Deputy Commander, assisting with some miscellaneous tasks, fighting small battles should be feasible..." An Yiqi thought, pulling out a notebook, writing down: "Leading troops shouldn't be constrained by conventions; active learning and application are necessary. Training troops requires practical combat, you'll improve while fighting."

The corps grew stronger with every battle, and when they encountered Third Awakening Secret Spirits, they could directly surround and kill them, with no fear at all; both humans and pets were in excellent condition.

Rouge and Ghost Eye were fortunate; Rouge absorbed the blood of many High Level Secret Spirits, and Ghost Eye was a battlefield scavenger, consuming countless Secret Spirit corpses.

The team members obtained quite a few spoils, prompting Chen Guan to sigh that no wonder some people are so eager for warfare, as fighting really is a speedy way to wealth.

Secret Spirits that are usually too daunting to provoke could now be solved with a single charge; all kinds of good things could be acquired.

Of course, it was mainly because the main force had already dealt with the Third Awakening Secret Spirits here; otherwise, his team wouldn't have the strength to march through the Qilin Mountain Range, let alone wreak havoc.

As the killing continued, Chen Guan lost interest in ordinary Second Awakening Secret Spirits; even Ghost Eye couldn't manage them anymore.

Chen Guan had a bright idea: "Why not leave those ordinary spirits alone for now, filter through the area for Third Awakening Secret Spirits and high-quality Second Awakening, First Awakening Secret Spirits, then come back to clear out the spirits here."

With this thought, Chen Guan led the team to quicken their march, aiming to clear the High-Level Secret Spirits first.

After all, they were originally a vanguard force, primarily tasked with scouting, with no requirement to clear out any particular area of spirits.

The marching pace of Chen Guan's team picked up rapidly, far surpassing the large troop behind them.

Since they had already dealt with the Third Awakening Secret Spirits and the high-quality Second Awakening Secret Spirits ahead, the troops behind found clearing easier, advancing faster than Xiu Haofeng's side.

This team had developed a picky appetite under Chen Guan's leadership; if the spirits weren't hard to kill or high-quality, they weren't interested in slaying them, contrasting sharply from their initial state upon entering the Qilin Mountain Range.

Now many in the team felt, why has the main force slain so thoroughly; why are there so few leftover Third Awakening Secret Spirits, leaving them no chance to showcase their abilities?

In fact, the only Third Awakening Secret Spirit they saw was the rare Mystic Qilin killed by Chen Guan; they hadn't even seen many Third Awakening Secret Spirits.

Many rare Second Awakening Secret Spirits were slain; they even killed some Unparalleled and single-specimen spirits, but unfortunately, no pets emerged, only one Unparalleled Secret Technique and several single-specimen Secret Skills appeared.

These high-quality spirits were arranged for someone to deliver the final blow, ensuring ordinary soldiers didn't take the goods.

Nonetheless, every soldier who participated in killing a high-quality Secret Spirit would receive points rewards, making it worthwhile.
