The dog-headed yin spirit ‘watched’ him swallow the pill in one gulp, immediately baring its fangs, its ferocity on full display.

Brian Cooper, having responded in this way, had already anticipated how this dog would react. He shouted in a commanding voice, “Down!

Still daring to bare your teeth at me?

!”

“Woo woo…” The dog-headed yin spirit continued to growl lowly, as if it had seen through his tricks.

“Down!”

“Get down for me!”

Brian Cooper’s scolding sounded fierce but was actually lacking in confidence.

But strangely, under his repeated shouts, the dog finally let out a disgruntled bark and, just as he commanded, lay down on the ground.

“Dogs are animals very good at reading people’s expressions… If a dog acts fierce, you have to be fiercer than it!”

“If a dog wants to pounce and bite you, you must have the resolve to take half its life in one go, and use every means to make it feel your determination!”

The ‘dog training secrets’ flowed through Brian Cooper’s mind.

He ‘saw’ the dog-headed yin spirit actually obey his command and lie down.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he truly had the resolve to risk everything and activate the Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens to suppress and kill the dog-headed yin spirit. It seemed the dog sensed his determination as well.

After all, in real life, when training dogs, the animal and its owner could never be as spiritually connected as Brian Cooper and the dog-headed yin spirit were now.

And the intelligence of the dog-headed yin spirit didn’t seem much higher than that of an ordinary dog.

It still responded well to the ‘dog training secrets’.

As long as it started obeying commands, it was time for it to show loyalty.

“Stand up!”

Brian Cooper paused for a moment, then followed up with a rapid series of commands.

Under his constant urging, the dog-headed yin spirit didn’t even have time to think about why it was doing these things—it was already moving according to his orders.

“Sit!”

“Stay!”

“Down!”

“Roll over!”

“Show your belly!”

“Jump!”

After a set of non-standard dog training routines, the dog-headed yin spirit executed Brian Cooper’s commands faster and faster.

Unconsciously, the giant dog’s shadow cast on the moonlit wall gradually shrank, eventually encompassed by Brian Cooper’s own silhouette.

The blood overflowing from the wall had vanished without a trace at some point.

Under Brian Cooper’s soul-commanding voice, the dog-headed yin spirit finally returned to the ‘sit’ command.

It sat upright and still, not moving a muscle.

“Good dog!”

Brian Cooper praised.

This dog, when trained, actually learned even faster than his own highly obedient German Shepherd.

As he praised the dog-headed yin spirit, he clearly ‘saw’ a glint of light flash in its brown-black eyes, its mouth slightly open, tongue lolling out, covered in blood.

Though it looked fierce and terrifying, it was clearly showing a happy expression at being praised.

“From now on, you’re my dog.

I need to give you a name…” Brian Cooper’s eyes shifted.

The dog-headed yin spirit wagged its tail back and forth.

“You are mighty and extraordinary, and can lead the way for me. I’ll call you ‘Dog God’—from now on, you are Edward Reed!”

After a brief thought, he gave the dog-headed yin spirit its name.

The dog-headed yin spirit was very pleased with this name, wagging its tail even more enthusiastically.

Thanks to reading many miscellaneous books and often browsing all sorts of information, Brian Cooper was quite familiar with the origin of the name ‘Dog God’.

‘Dog God’ was originally the name of an evil blade, bound with many curses, once owned by Xia Jie.

Later, this evil blade was lost for hundreds or thousands of years, then reforged by Bao Zheng, and actually became the Dog-Head Guillotine, one of the ‘Three Blue Sky Execution Blades’ representing justice, used to execute the most wicked criminals.

He named the dog-headed yin spirit Edward Reed with the hope that it would serve him and turn from evil to good.

“Edward Reed, you did well this time. Wait here!”

Brian Cooper called out to ‘Edward Reed’, poured out another pill from the bottle, placed it in his palm, and just as he was thinking about how to feed it to Edward Reed, the pill slowly ‘sank’ into his left palm.

He immediately ‘saw’ the ghost spirit pill being tossed to Edward Reed.

So only with my approval can it truly eat the pill!

“This is your reward.”

Brian Cooper told Edward Reed, watching it happily swallow the pill. Its fur seemed glossier, and the blood oozing from its limbs grew thicker.

The ghost spirit pill was indeed very beneficial for souls and yin spirits.

He nodded, about to end this dog training session.

At that moment, ‘Edward Reed’ raised its head, dangerous golden-brown eyes flashing. In the next instant, it turned into a blur, howling as it lunged at Brian Cooper!

“A dog that can’t be tamed?

!”

Brian Cooper’s heart skipped a beat!

Chapter 8: The Serpent Demon

“Awoo!”

A short howl echoed through Brian Cooper’s soul.

With this howl, ‘Edward Reed’ turned into a sharp arrow, charging fiercely at Brian Cooper.

He was shocked, unable to react in time. He watched as the black shadow of Edward Reed slammed into ‘himself’, and his vision suddenly blurred for a moment!

In the next instant, his soul, which had been somewhat clearer after taking the ghost spirit pill, now seemed as muddled as before, his mind clouded.

At the same time, a chilling cold erupted from the center of his left palm.
