"Relying on insight and skill? Both pets belong to the dealer. Whichever one they want to win will win, so what use is insight and skill?" Zhang Chunxiang still felt there was an issue.

"Everyone thinks like that, assuming I have a Strong Luck Talent that can determine the outcome." Kuang Liu said with a chuckle, "It's precisely for this reason that no one has ever doubted that the reason I can win isn't actually because of strong luck, but due to multiple factors."

"At the beginning, one of the pets I bet on was deliberately arranged by me. That was originally my pet, so of course I could win."

"Later, I won because I bribed the owners of those pets."

"Aren't those pet owners part of the dealer's staff? It wouldn't be easy to bribe them, would it?" Zhang Chunxiang said.

"I couldn't bribe them myself, of course, but I could collaborate with the dealer's arch-enemy, using the illusion I created of winning every gamble. In reality, it's through coercion and inducements that we control the pet owners to secretly help us."

Kuang Liu revealed the secret behind his winning streak. Although he truly possesses this talent, his ability to win every gamble isn't inherently linked to it.

Even without this talent, he could still win every gamble.

"So, you didn't use your talent when we were gambling?" Chen Guan was a bit surprised.

"Couldn't use it, and there was no need to. I understand the Heaven-Dominating Beast and the Eight-headed Serpent. In my assessment, the Eight-headed Serpent was sure to win, requiring nothing on my part." Kuang Liu sighed, "I didn't expect to encounter someone like you with a genuine Strong Luck Talent; the Heaven-Dominating Beast unexpectedly erupted."

Chen Guan thought to himself, "I also don't have a Strong Luck Talent, but my talent doesn't need luck to win."

Upon hearing Kuang Liu's words, Yang Sanlang frowned, looking very unhappy.

Yang Sanlang, also known as Yang Lang, brought Kuang Liu in, hoping to use his Strong Luck Talent to find the Dragon and Tiger Convergence.

But it turned out Kuang Liu's talent had so many limitations, rendering it practically useless.

Now, the Zhang Family's younger generation expert in Feng Shui Secret Skill, Zhang Chunman, couldn't enter, and Kuang Liu didn't possess the talent they imagined. There were too many flaws in this operation, a sense of unluckiness.

"Aren't you afraid we'll spread these secrets?" Zhang Chunxiang chuckled.

"I'm afraid it would be hard for me to leave here alive, so if you manage to leave alive, help spread these glorious deeds," Kuang Liu, quite unfazed, replied.

"We still have plenty of time. We'll look slowly. Perhaps somewhere here, there's a low-level Secret Spirit," Zhang Chunxiang suggested.

"Let's hope so," Kuang Liu felt the chance was slim.

The group continued to search, not finding any low-level Secret Spirits. Instead, they ran into a few other people who, like them, were also searching for low-level Secret Spirits.

Most of them had the same concern, fearing some trickery, so in the first test, the Secret Spirit Pets summoned were quite low-level.

Now, in the second stage, only two people managed to summon relatively powerful Second Awakening Pets, while the remaining three summoned First Awakening Pets.

These people had gathered together later, providing mutual support.

Without conflicting interests, and even needing each other, they exchanged information. Chen Guan and his group learned that anyone who entered here had previously won first place in the lists of pets, humans, and tigers.

"Only those who have achieved first place on the list can enter. Doesn't that mean the Secret Spirits here might not even exist below the Second Awakening level?" Kuang Liu's face grew even more grim.

The others speculated the same: if this place was designed for the top rankers, the likelihood of low-level Secret Spirits was even lower.

After the two groups exchanged information, they realized the same truth: no one had seen any Secret Spirits below the Second Awakening.

The cultivators who summoned only First Awakening Pets were all disheartened, as their chances of surviving the test were becoming slim to none.

Chen Guan wasn't too worried. Although Warring States was just a First Awakening Secret Spirit, with the Spirit of the Cheerleaders' blessing, as long as they could find some relatively weak Second Awakening Secret Spirits, victory wouldn't be too difficult.

"It's probably hard to find like this. Let's plan our area and search separately. If anyone finds anything, use the wolf smoke as a signal," Zhang Chunxiang proposed, gaining everyone's approval. He then distributed some Wolf Smoke Bombs to the group.

Wolf Smoke Bombs are technological products. When thrown to the ground, they release a large amount of smoke that quickly rises into the sky. In a Secret Realm where instruments malfunction, such products are quite useful.

Everyone went off in different directions to search. Chen Guan didn't rush to let Warring States kill those Second Awakening Secret Spirits; it would be safer to find a First Awakening Secret Spirit if possible.

Time passed by the minute and hour, and several hours had slipped by. In all the places Chen Guan reached, there was no sign of any First Awakening Secret Spirits.

For those unfamiliar Secret Spirits, Chen Guan tested their strength as well, all undoubtedly Second Awakening.

It was almost certain now that there might truly be no First Awakening Secret Spirits here.

"If that's the case, then there's only one option," Chen Guan decided, choosing a relatively weak Second Awakening Secret Spirit to have Warring States try to kill.

"Warring States, whether we survive depends on you. I know you can do it, go for it!" Chen Guan activated the Spirit of the Cheerleaders, first giving Warring States a BUFF.

Warring States immediately perked up, bravely launching an attack on the Second Awakening Secret Spirit.

Even with the Spirit of the Cheerleaders' enhancement, Warring States' speed and power lagged significantly behind that of the Black Antelope.

After all, the level gap was too big, and there was a whole class difference. The enemy had reached Alien Elemental Energy, while Warring States was still using ordinary Primordial Energy, which was a huge disadvantage.

Moreover, Warring States' own Talent and Growth Rate were too low, still leaving a considerable gap even after the enhancement.

Fortunately, Warring States was a clever guard dog. Though its speed and strength were lacking, rather than confronting directly, it encircled the Black Antelope, attempting to ambush it from behind.

The Black Antelope chased, but Warring States ran circles around it. When the Black Antelope paused, Warring States continued maneuvering behind it, occasionally aiming for its legs.

Chen Guan observed for a while. Although Warring States wasn't as strong, it wasn't disadvantaged either.

As Chen Guan watched, his expression became peculiar; he realized that Warring States' ability to avoid the Black Antelope's attacks wasn't just due to its crafty tactics—it involved technique.

He saw shadows of the Martial Arts Rhythm in Warring States, echoing Shang Ziyi's battle rhythm and Body Technique.

While Warring States couldn't use it as intricately as a human, only employing a few simple steps, its rhythm and movement trajectory indeed bore some resemblance to Shang Ziyi.
