Gu Nanquan looked up at Chen Guan, the murderous intent in his eyes suddenly dissipating, revealing a smile as if clouds had parted: "Brother Daoist, you're really impressive. I'm not as good as you. With you here, I'm at ease. I'll leave it to you to defeat Muntangcai for me."
After speaking, Gu Nanquan stepped down from the stage, not dragging things out at all, moving quite freely.
"Don't worry, brother Gu, if you're not able, it's alright. With me here, we'll definitely win." Chen Guan said with a grin.
Gu Nanquan's steps paused for a moment, but he didn't turn back. With a smile still on his face, he returned to his seat and sat down, the smile never ceased, as if he was quite relieved.
Yang Hu and Yang Lang knew, Gu Nanquan was truly upset.
Chen Guan saw how well Gu Nanquan could endure, so he could only get down from the fighting stage. He originally wanted to provoke Gu Nanquan more, making him reveal more, but Gu Nanquan gave him no further chance.
Chen Guan's rank jumped to fourth, and after getting off the stage, he went to challenge Zhang Huacai, who was ranked third.
"This guy is truly mean, doesn't leave any space for kind words." Zhang Chunxiang thought to herself.
But when Chen Guan returned, Zhang Chunxiang was all smiles, calling him Brother Daoist with every sentence.
"Brother Daoist, your armor looks really cool, that's a suit, isn't it?"
"Brother Daoist, is that an Unparalleled set?"
"Brother Daoist, you're too strong!"
Suddenly, Chen Guan had some realization about why the Spirit of the Cheerleaders could unleash a person's potential.
Having someone constantly praise you by your side every day, changing it up every time, doesn't that create motivation?
"What a pity, Zhang Chunxiang is the Miss Zhang of the Zhang Family, otherwise keeping her by my side serving tea and water, shouting 666 wouldn't be bad." Chen Guan thought to himself.
What's more, Miss Zhang is quite pleasing to the eye, no matter how you compliment her, it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.
"Brother Gu Nan, thanks for letting me win, I didn't shake you too hard, did I?" Chen Guan teased Gu Nanquan again, testing how much he could endure.
Now it's the last day, the list is about to be finalized, no need to deceitfully deal with Gu Nanquan any longer.
"I'm fine." Gu Nanquan held back his anger, not arguing with Chen Guan.
"Brother Daoist, you shouldn't ask like that. Even if someone's injured, asking in front of so many people, would they have the face to admit it? No matter how severe the injury, you definitely can't admit defeat in front of so many people, that'd be embarrassing." Zhang Chunxiang added a jab, she really knew how to follow up.
Because of this, people would think Gu Nanquan was embarrassed to admit he was injured.
Gu Nanquan's eyelids twitched, pretending he hadn't heard, closed his eyes to rest.
"Oh, I see, then let's wait until we get back to talk." Chen Guan chuckled to himself.
"Can't wait to get back, why is he closing his eyes, he can't be too severely injured and fainted, can he!" Zhang Chunxiang added another line, looking at Gu Nanquan resting with his eyes closed, with a worried expression.
Gu Nanquan nearly vomited blood from anger, he wasn't injured at all, yet these two sang in harmony, making it sound like Chen Guan had beaten him into a severe, incurable wound, on the verge of dying.
Gu Nanquan knew he couldn't win against these two scoundrel couples, so he simply played dead, completely ignoring them.
"Brother Daoist, why's he motionless, did you really counter-shock him to death? His body is too weak, slashed a few times at others and they didn't fight back, yet he himself got counter-shocked to death, this is too weak..." Zhang Chunxiang seemed genuinely shocked as she looked at Gu Nanquan.
Hearing Zhang Chunxiang say this, many around glanced over.
Someone whispered: "I say, why did he surrender, turns out he was counter-shocked."
"Seems Dead Brother Daoist has quite the skill, not relying solely on divine armor."
"..."
"I'm fine." Gu Nanquan couldn't go on acting, if he let Zhang Chunxiang keep talking, others might really think he was counter-shocked to death by Chen Guan.
"Good that you're fine, don't force yourself..." Chen Guan said with a concerned look.
"Exactly, my family deals in elixirs, we really don't lack elixirs, no need to tough it out..." Zhang Chunxiang followed up.
Not until Chen Guan went on stage again did Gu Nanquan's mood gradually calm down.
Jiang Qiemo standing by looked strange, he discovered Chen Guan and Zhang Chunxiang together were truly terrifying.
"Brother Daoist, I can't break your armor's defense, I better surrender." Zhang Huacai came up defeated, without even starting a fight, he wanted to surrender.
"Don't worry, I won't use armor, we'll duel fairly and stop when indicated." Chen Guan said.
"No, no, no, I surrender, you win." Zhang Huacai didn't believe Chen Guan, Gu Nanquan's fate was still fresh in mind.
He didn't want to be unknowingly stabbed by Chen Guan somewhere, he himself would stop when indicated, but would Chen Guan really stop when indicated?
No matter how sincerely Chen Guan tried to persuade, Zhang Huacai still surrendered off the stage without hesitation.
"Conquering without battle, Brother Daoist, you're truly talented." After Chen Guan returned, Zhang Chunxiang didn't hold back her praise at all.
She really didn't care, regardless of who was defeated wasn't her own brother.
"Didn't perform well, it's just like that." Chen Guan's shamelessness made Gu Nanquan itch to go up and slap him across the face.
Jiang Qiemo's expression was a bit strange too, although he wasn't that humble, nowhere near Chen Guan's confidence either.
"Seems I've been too conservative before!" Jiang Qiemo thought to himself.
Chen Guan had already entered the top three of the Human List, only Jiang Qiemo, ranked first, and Zhang Chunman, ranked second, remained ahead.
Chen Guan didn't hesitate much, went ahead to register for the next challenge.
The probability for a second place to randomly get an Unparalleled quality reward is definitely higher than third.
Zhang Chunman overheard clearly just now, hearing how Chen Guan and Zhang Chunxiang mocked Gu Nanquan.
He knew Zhang Chunxiang well, also aware that recently Zhang Chunxiang and Chen Guan had made quite a bit of money together, knowing that if he lost, he'd definitely face her sharp tongue.
Zhang Chunman gritted his teeth and decided not to go up on stage.
Anyway, he didn't care about ranking or rewards, originally just joining for the fun, to gain real combat experience, whether he got a position or not really didn't matter.
Zhang Chunman's forfeit made Gu Nanquan even more distressed.
Now Jiang Qiemo and Chen Guan held first and second place, Zhang Family had no shot at taking first.
As for the previous plan to have Jiang Qiemo give up the first place himself, now it seemed untenable too.
"Dead Brother Daoist, is it? Very good... Once we enter the Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Cave... See how I'll deal with you..." Gu Nan quivered with hatred.
He knew Chen Guan ranked first on the Pet List, securing first place should be no problem, and when Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Cave open, he could still bring Chen Guan in.
Some things aren't suitable for use in front of others, once inside the Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Cave, he'll have no qualms, breaking Chen Guan's Divine Armor wouldn't be difficult for him.
