You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry? Chapter 50

Xia Yuan stood with his hands in his pockets, looking quite satisfied after hearing the announcement.

Su Yun's insider information was pretty accurate, it seems she has quite the background...

Then, without caring whether this was a major competition venue or not, he immediately raised his hand and said loudly:

"Examiner Dazhuang, can I be the first to take the assessment then?"

Mo Shiyu was sweating profusely, tugging at his sleeve from below and reminding him not to cause trouble.

This was the Alliance's Chief Examiner! How high were his strength and status!

And you dare give him a nickname?!

The Chief Examiner looked at him and surprisingly didn't get angry, instead saying with a smile:

"You must be SSR Xia Yuan, I've heard of you. You once provided rescue during an Abyss Instance disaster."

"I personally admire you, but rules are rules. If I let you go first, that would be breaking the rules......"

Xia Yuan looked dispirited.

He had been thinking about finishing the competition early and returning to the hotel to play games.

In-game events wouldn't wait! If he went late, other teams would probably have already taken the first-clear rewards!

Then he'd get sprayed by Dama!

Mo Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief. At least he wasn't angry. As for going first, forget about it—that would be asking the Chief Examiner to openly give them special treatment!

However, the next second.

The Chief Examiner's voice sounded again:

"But then again, aren't rules meant to be broken?"

"Every SSR is a national treasure of Great Xia. I judge that you have this qualification, so I'm willing to break the rules for you!"

As these words fell, the entire venue was shocked!

In the live streams of major news media across the country, viewers spammed question marks wildly.

Among the participants, there was an uproar and discussions everywhere.

Mo Shiyu looked completely bewildered, never expecting the other party would actually agree?!

Xia Yuan changed his expression quickly, immediately becoming happy. "Examiner Dazhuang knows how to handle things well. Tell me your name, I'll remember you. If you need anything, come find me—maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll help you once."

Good heavens!

The roles are completely reversed!

The Northern Chuan crowd was already used to this.

But others had never seen such an arrogant and insolent Contracted Spirit!

Mo Shiyu frantically pulled at his sleeve, hurriedly whispering to remind him, "Xia Yuan, you need to show more respect to the Chief Examiner!"

The Chief Examiner put his hands on his hips, not annoyed at all, instead laughing heartily. "Then I won't stand on ceremony. My name is Lu Changhe, a T1-level Spirit Tamer within the Alliance."

Among the participants, Lin Junhao was so angry he gritted his teeth. Naturally, he couldn't stand to see Xia Yuan doing well, so he immediately incited many followers to start shouting:

"This isn't fair!"

"That's right, competitions should be fair! If someone gets to go first just because they're SSR, wouldn't the world fall into chaos?"

"We're not convinced! We demand a fair competition!"

"Protest! Protest!"

"......"

Lu Changhe swept his sharp gaze over the protesters and said in a deep voice:

"I know the rest of you feel unbalanced inside, but if you also had a Contracted Spirit as powerful as Xia Yuan's, I'd be happy to break the rules for you too. How about that?"

His tone turned cold and severe:

"You bunch of greenhorns, have you ever experienced a Raid Boss disaster?"

"Have you seen the hell on the Contracted Spirit Great Wall defense line?!"

"Do you know how terrifying World-Class Bounty Bosses are?"

Lu Changhe's eyes turned slightly red. This burly man was now trembling all over like a sieve, gritting his teeth as he spat out a few words:

"I've seen it...!"

"Even my Contracted Spirits are nothing but ants to be casually crushed before them!"

"Only those truly powerful Contracted Spirits can save the ordinary people suffering from disasters!"

"I've seen them risk everything to snatch lives from the hands of death!"

"The number of people they've saved reaches tens of millions!"

"Shouldn't someone who can make such enormous contributions to humanity in the future enjoy a simple benefit like cutting in line?"

The entire venue fell into complete silence.

Lu Changhe took a deep breath, calming his emotions, and said slowly:

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. If you still feel unconvinced, you can file a complaint against me. I'll take full responsibility."

After this speech.

The participants no longer had any objections.

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment. After hearing Lu Changhe's words, he fell into contemplation for the first time ever.

It seemed this world wasn't as simple as he had imagined. He needed to become stronger!

But still, during his free time, he definitely had to keep playing games...

Just as the entire venue fell into silence, a voice rang out:

"Since SSR has privileges and can go first..."

"Then my Platinum Dragon King also wants to be first!"

From the Cangyun Spirit Tamer Academy team, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking scholarly stepped forward.

This person was precisely the Spirit Tamer of the Platinum Dragon King, Zhou Ke!

He walked to the front of the line, and as he raised his head, a white-gold Western dragon materialized behind him!

Its body was agile, with clear muscle lines covering its torso!

Platinum scales covered its entire body, though its size wasn't particularly large.

Its massive jaws revealed exposed fangs!

Huge wings were folded at its sides, and a pair of vertical pupils like red lanterns glared forward!

Strangely, its eyes didn't have the sharpness and pressure typical of dragons, instead looking somewhat confused, as if it didn't understand why it had been summoned...

This was the strongest ace of the top-ranked Spirit Tamer academy in Yun Chuan Province, the SSR Platinum Dragon King!

Level 57!

All eyes in the venue converged on it.

The Platinum Dragon King sweatdropped human-like cold sweat on its forehead.

Facing so many stares, it still gathered its courage, raised its head high, and let out "woof woof woof..." sounds similar to warnings before a vicious dog bites someone...

Putting on a very fierce appearance!

Since the other party had stepped forward to challenge, Xia Yuan also leaped forward, arriving at the front of the line to confront the dragon.

Mo Shiyu had no choice but to follow him up.

Xia Yuan and the dragon stared at each other, the two SSRs sizing each other up, weighing something.

To be honest, this was Xia Yuan's first time encountering another SSR, and he really couldn't see what was so powerful about this dragon.

But just like himself, powerful Contracted Spirits were often unique and kept their abilities hidden.

You couldn't tell anything from appearances.

The more Xia Yuan looked at the Platinum Dragon King, the more he thought it looked silly. He couldn't help but ask:

"Silly dragon?"

"Are you sure you want to compete with me for first place?"

Hearing this, the Platinum Dragon King guiltily averted its gaze, looking down at its master and whispering in human language as if negotiating:

"Master, actually we don't really need to compete for first place, right? I'm not really that eager to be first..."

Despite having an incredibly majestic dragon's voice, its tone was indescribably meek and gentle.

Zhou Ke said coldly, "No, you do."

The honest and simple Platinum Dragon King raised its head and replied to Xia Yuan with two words, "I do."

The two SSRs were already at odds the moment they appeared, which thrilled both the live stream viewers and the audience on site—everyone grew tense with anticipation!

Lu Changhe cleared his throat and stepped forward:

"Both of you are SSRs, so I'm willing to break the rules for both of you."

"But as for the order of who goes first, I can't decide that either..."

"How about... you fight it out?"

As these words fell, the eyes of the entire audience were filled with anticipation!

Fight beautifully!

You know exactly what the audience wants to see!

You're exactly the one who should be Chief Examiner!
