"Rare Secret Spirit Evil Adorable Rabbit?" Chen Guan immediately recognized what it was.
Before entering the Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land, he had done his homework and knew that the Evil Adorable Rabbit was one of the most common secret spirits in the Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land. However, the usual Evil Adorable Rabbit was not this large, at most about the size of an adult shepherd dog, with quality being just ordinary.
Only a very few rare-quality Evil Adorable Rabbits could break through the size limit, growing as big as a bear.
This Evil Adorable Rabbit's size, even among rare ones, seemed quite large, and somehow, it even wielded a weapon resembling a pig-killing saber. This made Chen Guan wonder if its quality could be higher than rare.
But according to his research, the highest quality ever discovered among Evil Adorable Rabbits was rare; there had never been reports of rare or unique Evil Adorable Rabbits.
If there were, given the hundreds of years of development in the Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land, surely someone would have seen it by now.
With countless thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Guan watched the Evil Adorable Rabbit discard its bone club and fully turn to face him. Without hesitation, he summoned his secret spirit, the Self-red Chow Chow.
Outside the Secret Realm, there are very few secret spirit creatures. Even if there are, ordinary people without primordial energy cannot tame or control them.
Only a kind of semi-secret spirit creature can be tamed and controlled by ordinary people before absorbing primordial energy to become a cultivator, and that is the guard dog.
There are many breeds of guard dogs: White-faced Yellow Dog, Tiger-striped Dog, Five-black Dog, Self-red Chow Chow, Four-eyed Iron Gold, etc. These highly spiritual guard dogs are raised from a young age by cultivators.
True guard dogs are extremely intelligent, and during a cultivator's cultivation, they mimic the cultivator's actions and practice alongside them.
Though they cannot truly perceive and absorb primordial energy, they can awaken their semi-secret spirit bloodline.
After such a guard dog's physical body dies, it remains by its owner as a secret spirit.
Most cultivators' first secret spirit is generally a guard dog, one of the few secret spirits they can control before awakening in the Secret Realm.
From a young age, Chen Guan raised a Self-red Chow Chow, which, after its physical death, became his first secret spirit.
With Chen Guan's summon, a fully dark red, fluffy, somewhat adorably dumb-looking adult Self-red Chow Chow appeared before him, baring its teeth in a low growl at the Evil Adorable Rabbit.
Chen Guan also assumed a battle stance. If it were just an ordinary Evil Adorable Rabbit, he and the Self-red Chow Chow could handle it together, even if faced with two or three.
However, the sheer size of this Evil Adorable Rabbit, with power far exceeding that of ordinary Evil Adorable Rabbits, meant he and the Self-red Chow Chow would struggle to contend with it head-on.
He also didn't know what level the Evil Adorable Rabbit was, given that both he and the Self-red Chow Chow were at level one.
Especially with the Evil Adorable Rabbit wielding a blade-like weapon, Chen Guan wasn't confident about overcoming it; he felt it was a grim situation.
Were it not for the terrain restriction and since the valley's exit was where the Evil Adorable Rabbit stood, Chen Guan would have already fled without confronting it.
The Self-red Chow Chow had barely been summoned when the Evil Adorable Rabbit suddenly leaped several meters forward, landing in front of the Self-red Chow Chow. With a sinister grin on its face, its eyes glowed blood-red, and it swung the oversized pig-killing saber down at the Self-red Chow Chow's head.
It was so fast that Chen Guan didn't have time to assist. The Self-red Chow Chow, though it looked adorably foolish, was actually very clever; twisting its waist, it leapt aside to evade the Evil Adorable Rabbit's slash.
But just as its body leapt aside, before its paws touched the ground, it was swatted by the Evil Adorable Rabbit's paw, sending it flying, with several gashes on its side, blood pearls spraying out.
Bang!
The Self-red Chow Chow crashed into a pile of bones, struggling to get up, with deep wounds still bleeding and its leg limping. Yet, it still rushed in front of Chen Guan, barking madly at the Evil Adorable Rabbit that was licking the blood from its paws.
Chen Guan's expression was grim. Seeing the Evil Adorable Rabbit's power and speed, he knew that he and the Self-red Chow Chow were no match; the gap was just too large.
He suspected the Evil Adorable Rabbit might be a level 2 or level 3 secret spirit, with abilities they could not contend with, making it an impossible fight.
Generally speaking, the first time a cultivator enters a blessed land, they shouldn't randomly encounter such a dangerous place. Chen Guan just felt his luck was truly bad.
Almost without hesitation, while running towards the Evil Adorable Rabbit from the other side, Chen Guan shouted loudly to the Self-red Chow Chow, "Warring State, among the millions of secret spirits in the world, you are uniquely different, the one and only unprecedented, destined to stand with me at the pinnacle of the Secret Realm. Warring State, come on, we cannot fall here!"
Chen Guan racked his brains for words of praise and flattery, knowing the Spirit of the Cheerleaders' effect was better the more he praised. But how effective it actually was, Chen Guan didn't know; he just hoped for some effect, enough for him and the Self-red Chow Chow Warring State to defeat the Evil Adorable Rabbit or at least repel it, or even carve a path to escape.
Just after taking two steps, he suddenly heard a fierce growl in his ear; before he could react, he saw a red figure flash past like lightning towards the Evil Adorable Rabbit.
An incredible scene unfolded. The Warring State, who was initially no match for the Evil Adorable Rabbit and was almost incapacitated by a single strike, now seemed like a ghostly dog with high intelligence and mysterious body technique, its gaze burning like fire with unmatched intensity and determination.
Moving rapidly around the Evil Adorable Rabbit, its speed was almost on par with the Evil Adorable Rabbit. Its form was like a mass of red mist moving quickly, and eerily enough, it seemed able to predict the Evil Adorable Rabbit's thoughts and behavior, repeatedly avoiding its attacks and seizing the chance to bite the Evil Adorable Rabbit's tail.
The two, dog and rabbit, were locked in a battle so evenly matched that Chen Guan found no room to intervene.
"Is the Spirit of the Cheerleaders effect really this good?" Chen Guan was pleasantly surprised; although it was just a supportive talent, such a boosting effect meant that using secret spirits, his abilities far surpassed others.
Under the Spirit of the Cheerleaders, ordinary secret spirits could rival rare or even unique-quality secret spirits of the same level, which was incredibly terrifying.
Moreover, the Spirit of the Cheerleaders' talent was not just for use on secret spirits; it could also be applied to other creatures or even humans.
The more Chen Guan thought about it, the more excited he became, yet his first thought wasn't about using the Spirit of the Cheerleaders to make a name for himself but about how to hide this talent, ensuring no one else knew of it.
