You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry? Chapter 58

Xia Yuan cast an intensely cold, oppressive gaze toward Young Master Wang, who was collapsed on the ground, and with a single thought.

All the cherry blossoms obeyed his command, converging into vast rivers and overwhelming waves, sweeping down upon Young Master Wang like a tidal wave!

Young Master Wang had never witnessed such a scene before and screamed in terror:

"Hurry! Someone save me, quick!"

Those breathtakingly beautiful cherry blossoms now resembled a swarm of locusts, ready to devour him completely!

Even though he wouldn't actually die, the experience of being killed wasn't particularly pleasant...

Young Master Wang activated every defensive technique he knew!

Spirit Tamer barrier!

High-level protective shield!

Pay-to-win light shield!

Layer upon layer, inside and out!

Yet facing that overwhelming, densely packed saturation attack of cherry blossom blades, they shattered like eggshells, breaking apart layer by layer!

He had been completely surrounded by pink cherry blossoms, formed into a ball with no escape.

The other five Contracted Spirits couldn't protect him either—they threw themselves forward desperately, but before they could even get close, they were sliced apart by the chaotic blades and lost their combat ability.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Screams echoed.

Young Master Wang died buried within the cherry blossoms—quite romantic, actually.

His Contracted Spirits vanished one after another.

"Congratulations to Knife in Rainy Night Without Umbrella for winning!"

"Great Xia Region Ranked Space server-wide announcement: Congratulations to Knife in Rainy Night Without Umbrella for achieving a 6-win streak!"

In ranked matches, anyone achieving a five-win streak or higher would receive a server-wide announcement.

The current highest win streak holder had the username "That Woman"!

With 37 consecutive wins!

She had practically climbed to King rank with an undefeated streak!

The spectators watched Young Master Wang being buried by cherry blossoms, their eyes glazed over in shock.

A terrifying thought rose in their hearts!

This Contracted Spirit was cheating!

And cheats were often synonymous with SSR exclusivity!

"SSR! He must be SSR!"

"Oh mom, I've made it—I actually witnessed an SSR in action with my own eyes!"

"But which SSR is he exactly? I follow quite a few SSRs, but I've never seen such beautiful and magnificent skills before!"

"Yeah, Bankai! Senbonzakura! The skill names are super cool too—an SSR like this couldn't possibly be unknown, he should have gone viral long ago!"

"Ahhhh, God Knife in Rainy Night Without Umbrella, who exactly are you!"

"......"

The spectators were too excited, but unfortunately, as the battle ended, they didn't have time to figure out Xia Yuan and Mo Shiyu's identities before the entire battle arena began to disintegrate and vanish.

The two returned to their own ranked space.

Mo Shiyu maintained her cold expression, raised her hand, and spoke in a chuunibyou-style cool manner:

"Bankai!"

"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"

Xia Yuan looked at her with exasperation, "Have you lost your mind?"

Mo Shiyu's pretty face was full of intoxication, "I just think it's really cool. Xia Yuan, are you from the planet 'Will Die If Don't Show Off'?"

Xia Yuan crossed his arms, "Just tell me—is it cool or not? Strong or not?"

Mo Shiyu gave a thumbs up.

She asked curiously, "How exactly did you acquire these extra skills? Can self-study really be this impressive? I've never heard of any Contracted Spirit who can keep learning skills like you do!"

Mo Shiyu pondered, "Moreover, whether it's the Eight Gates Released Formation or the Zanpakuto Senbonzakura, these skills are clearly different from your previous cursed technique power type."

Xia Yuan closed his eyes and snorted coldly, "I told you from the beginning—I'm the hidden character in the gacha pool, capable of carrying you to victory. These are just a few skills? I can learn even more later, so... Fatty Yu, can your spiritual energy keep up?"

Mo Shiyu checked her spiritual energy—after finishing six placement matches, she only had half left?!

This consumption rate wasn't right!

"Eh? Strange, why is only half left!"

Xia Yuan was slightly surprised too.

He had only used Bankai once, but the rest of the time he used Shikai, so the consumption shouldn't be that high!

Could it be that general-purpose skills just consume more?

That didn't make sense!

The next second, both of them realized simultaneously:

"Little Black!"

Only then did Mo Shiyu remember that after entering the ranked space, she had been so focused on explaining and educating Xia Yuan that she forgot the basic step of summoning Little Black before battle...

After all, that little creature's presence was really too low—just a pretty little accessory.

Mo Shiyu hurriedly released Little Black from the Contracted Spirit Space.

"Wuwu ah..."

"I knew it, you forgot about me again!"

The cat girl spirit cried quite sadly, bean-sized tears continuously rolling down, "I'm useful, I can reduce spiritual energy consumption! Don't keep immersing yourselves in your couple world and ignore Little Black me!"

Mo Shiyu comforted her for a while, then quickly established their Contracted Spirit relationship, having her appear in the spirit team formation.

Afterwards, she had Xia Yuan create a better model appearance for her.

Xia Yuan looked at Little Black, thought for a moment, and got an idea!

After some tinkering, the original cat girl spirit transformed into a petite, delicate white-haired little girl with exquisite features.

Her white shoulder-length short hair was topped with a floating crown that emitted starlight!

Her round little face featured gem-like big eyes reflecting galaxies, draped in a nebula cloak resembling the night sky, paired with a childish face—innocent and adorably dumb!

That's right.

It was exactly the image of Paimon from Genshin Impact!

Xia Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, indeed very suitable. Emergency food, Paimon!"

Mo Shiyu's eyes sparkled as she hugged Little Black, "So cute!"

Little Black looked surprised, "Really? Even cuter than my original appearance?"

Mo Shiyu nodded frantically.

Little Black's previously improved mood soured again, feeling like crying once more...

So in master's heart, her original appearance wasn't as cute as this form...

With Little Black accessory joining the team, ranked matches continued!

"Match successful!"

Entering the Contracted Spirit arena again, the environment had changed once more.

They arrived above a vast blue sea.

But the sea surface could be stood upon without sinking.

Many pirate ships hovered around, already filled with spectators!

This time, the estimated number of spectators reached tens of thousands!

Both Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan were somewhat surprised—the spectator count was really quite large.

Their opponent Spirit Tamer's username was "Mr. Zhang (Unaware)"!

The game model appearance was quite bizarre...

After seeing it, Xia Yuan felt a sense of familiarity, "Snow King? You crossed over too!"

Mo Shiyu looked puzzled, "You know him?"

That's right.

Spirit Tamer "Mr. Zhang (Unaware)"'s appearance was exactly that of a snowman wearing a red robe and an ice crown!

Strongly resembling the Snow King from Mixue Ice Cream from Xia Yuan's previous life!

However, this Snow King's expressions and movements were both extremely abstract and exaggerated...

It was skillfully using live streaming patter in a loud voice:

"Welcome all viewers entering Mr. Zhang's ranked match livestream!"

"Oh?"

"This time we've actually encountered a Spirit Tamer who hasn't been placed yet?!"

"Oh yeah, quite interesting!"

Right at that moment, someone from the pirate ship audience threw an enormous golden "SSR" special effect that exploded above its head!

Snow King Zhang immediately beamed with joy and quickly flattered:

"Thank you my top donor for sending 'SSR'!"

"Family, type 'Boss is generous' in the public chat!"

Instantly, the spectators on the pirate ships all spoke up:

"Boss is generous!"

"I remember a single SSR gift costs 1,000 Spirit Stones, that's really rich!"

"Big shot is awesome!"

"Streamer hit the jackpot!"

"Boss is confused!"

"......"

Watching the opponent's all-over-the-sky gift special effects, Xia Yuan was momentarily stunned.

Damn!

Livestreaming arrived fashionably late!

Indeed, no matter which world, the livestreaming industry remains evergreen!

Mo Shiyu explained:

"It seems we've encountered a big streamer."

"The ranked space allows opening livestreams to attract more Spirit Tamers to spectate."

"Many Spirit Tamers earn Spirit Stone gifts through streaming their ranked matches to cultivate and summon Contracted Spirits."

Xia Yuan indicated he understood this, then began considering:

"Fatty Yu, since we can earn Spirit Stones for free, how about we start streaming too later..."

"These Spirit Stones are free for the taking."

Mo Shiyu originally wanted to keep a low profile, not wanting to overexpose Xia Yuan's skills.

But now Xia Yuan seemed like a completely different Contracted Spirit, using Zanpakuto Senbonzakura's abilities with modified facial features—who would know it was them?

So there was no concern about being studied by opponents in major tournaments.

She immediately nodded and agreed, "Mm, that makes sense."
