You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry? Chapter 52
15 seconds!
Before almost everyone could even react, Xia Yuan had already finished the battle and teleported out of the instance.
Lu Changhe was dumbfounded.
That fast?
Zhou Ke and the Platinum Dragon King stared with eyes as wide as copper bells, their jaws practically hitting the floor!
A four-star instance was something they could easily solo too, but 15 seconds was just ridiculously abnormal!
The Platinum Dragon King swallowed hard:
"Master, he's so strong, are you sure he's an SSR like me? Did he maybe drop an S somewhere..."
"I want to go home and watch cartoons..."
But the other party had never displayed this kind of world-ending destructive output before!
Was his previous Void Technique this powerful?
Other contestants from various academies were utterly stunned speechless—who could surpass this result?!
He basically reserved first place in advance!
Lin Junhao was absolutely shocked; he had originally been thinking about how to get revenge, but now he didn't have even a shred of that courage left...
An SSR!
He desperately wanted an SSR too!
After a few seconds of complete silence, the venue erupted into roaring cheers so loud they seemed about to lift the roof off:
"Holy beans, 15 seconds? In the time it takes me to take a piss, he cleared a four-star instance?!"
"Did you guys see that? One Void Technique shattered the entire instance space, the BOSS was instantly deleted!"
"This is outrageously powerful, both handsome and fierce, his Spirit Tamer must be so happy..."
"I get it now, God Yuan wasn't going all out in those previous battle videos, he was still holding back!"
"So far, no Contracted Spirit or BOSS has made Xia Yuan use his full power, right? We can only look to other SSRs, like the Platinum Dragon King, too bad they didn't fight!"
"......"
Xia Yuan finished his work, put his hands in his pockets, and left with a cheerful stride.
Mo Shiyu followed behind him, maintaining her composure.
Lu Changhe couldn't help but ask:
"You still have two more attempts, are you really not going to continue trying?"
Xia Yuan waved without looking back, "No need, I'm already first, aren't I?"
Lu Changhe: "......"
Indeed, the 15-second result was already heaven-defying.
Even the Platinum Dragon King, also an SSR, might not necessarily be able to break it!
As Xia Yuan passed by Zhou Ke and the Platinum Dragon King, he didn't forget to greet them, "Silly dragon, do your best, I hope you can break my record, at least don't let the decimal part be higher than mine, right?"
The Platinum Dragon King looked pleasantly surprised, frantically waving its two claws, "I'm not as amazing as you, so I might disappoint your expectations, sorry..."
Zhou Ke was absolutely exasperated, "He's mocking you!"
The Platinum Dragon King looked completely confused, "Is he? I thought he seemed pretty nice, wasn't he cheering me on?"
Xia Yuan was also amused by this guy, "Pfft haha, you're quite interesting, I hope I can fight you at the national tournament."
The Platinum Dragon King shook its head like a rattle-drum.
It definitely didn't want to fight this terrifying guy!
When it first emerged from the Contracted Spirit Space, it had sensed that the person before it was extremely dangerous!
The danger level was comparable to its direct superior in its previous world, the Dragon God!
Why fight if you can't win?
It's not stupid!
On the contrary, it's super smart!
After speaking, Xia Yuan happily hummed a little tune and walked out of the Tianding venue.
Mo Shiyu had originally thought about staying to watch the performance of the fellow SSR Platinum Dragon King, but since Xia Yuan left so decisively, she couldn't very well stay behind.
So she could only take out her phone and start watching the livestream.
She really wanted to know whether Xia Yuan was just too strong and overpowered, or if all SSRs were like this!
Seeing her watching the livestream, Xia Yuan also said:
"Remember to tell me the silly dragon's result after you finish watching."
He cared about it too.
If he weren't in a hurry to get back for a game event, he would have stayed to at least watch the Platinum Dragon King clear the instance.
.......
Inside the Tianding venue.
Everyone could only watch as Xia Yuan and Mo Shiyu left, then focused all their attention on the Platinum Dragon King!
They also wanted to know how the Platinum Dragon King, also an SSR, would perform.
Currently, it seemed the only one most likely to break that insane 15-second record.
Suddenly, all the pressure fell on the Platinum Dragon King.
Its large body curled up into a ball, somewhat at a loss.
Seeing this, Zhou Ke immediately said sternly:
"Straighten your back, you're a dragon, and an SSR at that!"
The Platinum Dragon King jolted and straightened its posture.
Zhou Ke looked helpless and spoke earnestly:
"Big White, you have to believe in yourself, you're an SSR too, no worse than that guy!"
"As long as you get serious, what's 15 seconds? We'll clear it in 10!"
The Platinum Dragon King quickly shook its head, "No no no... I can't do it!"
Zhou Ke: "Then you still have to give it your all!"
The Platinum Dragon King shuffled forward with a limp, looking dejected, "I understand..."
The two arrived at the teleportation gate, ready for the assessment.
Zhou Ke curled the corners of his mouth upward and began arranging tactics in advance:
"Those two earlier have already provided us with a great strategy!"
"Big White!"
"After we enter, immediately start chanting the Yanling Candle Dragon!"
"Push the output to maximum, drain every last bit of spiritual energy from me, we're betting everything on this one move!"
The Platinum Dragon King looked down at him with concern, "But master, if we drain all your spiritual energy, your body..."
Zhou Ke confidently waved his hand, adjusting the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Don't worry, it's just a mere leukemia. Although my body is weaker than most people's, I won't die for now. Just listen to me!"
The Platinum Dragon King fell silent.
After finalizing their tactics, the two stepped into the teleportation gate.
The entire venue once again held its breath in anticipation!
The world knew very little about the Platinum Dragon King's combat capabilities.
After all, it was only drawn as an SSR last year,
and it didn't even make it to last year's National Spirit Tamer Academy Tournament, never having shown its strength on such a large stage.
It was much more low-key than Xia Yuan.
Currently, there weren't many reported feats about the Platinum Dragon King.
First, it was the strongest Contracted Spirit in Cangyun Academy's history, becoming their ace with overwhelming dominance!
Second, during a five-star instance disaster, after the crowds had been evacuated, it rushed in and protected a stray animal shelter's cats and dogs.
Facing massive attacks from level 80 monsters, it didn't let a single animal die...
At that time, its level was only 32!
On the big screen, Zhou Ke and the Platinum Dragon King appeared.
Their strategy was the same as Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan's—as soon as they teleported into the instance, they began charging their ultimate move, planning to clear the instance with one swift blow!
