You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry? Chapter 60

As expected.

Dawnbreaker General couldn't get close at all, being blocked outside and bumping headfirst into the No-Harm Zone.

Behind her, the cherry blossom blade petals had already caught up.

The entire arena erupted in gasps of surprise once more!

However, at this critical juncture, Snow King Zhang and Dawnbreaker General showed no signs of panic whatsoever. Instead, their faces were filled with anticipation!

Xia Yuan sensed something was off.

This was very wrong!

Mo Shiyu also felt it wasn't that simple and warned in advance:

"Xia Yuan, be careful of those support spirits!"

Fortunately, Xia Yuan had been forewarned. The instant their positions swapped, he made all the cherry blossoms stop!

This spared him from being hit by his own blades.

Snow King Zhang slapped his thigh in regret. "So close again, always so close! How are your reactions so fast, you bastard!"

Xia Yuan turned to look at the five support spirits standing at the rear and noticed one of the snowmen had raised both hands towards them, sweating profusely.

It seemed the effort to swap their two positions was quite taxing.

Mo Shiyu looked exasperated. "Snow King, you're such a big streamer, who knew you'd fight so dirty?"

Snow King Zhang laughed. "This is called 'all's fair in war,' little girl. You're still too young."

The audience on the pirate ship also showed expressions of great pity. They naturally knew Snow King Zhang's Contracted Spirit abilities were all rather... unconventional. That was precisely why they enjoyed watching his ranked matches!

Many powerful SR Contracted Spirits had been 'dirty-tricked' to death by Snow King Zhang like this, relying mainly on information disparity.

Xia Yuan gave the five spirits at the back a cool glance. "It seems having a group of support-type spirits with unknown abilities is truly troublesome."

An abrupt female voice rang out: "Where are you looking?"

In the blink of an eye, Dawnbreaker General charged over again, another sword light thrusting forward.

Xia Yuan dodged it with another risky head tilt. Since he had no sword in hand now, he might as well use his fists.

Eight Gates Released Formation, Third Gate, Gate of Life, open!

Xia Yuan's entire body glowed with a life-green light as he began engaging Dawnbreaker in close combat with his bare hands.

Wild punches landed on the opponent's shield, creating loud "thud-thud" impacts!

Simultaneously, he didn't forget to control the cherry blossom blades, attacking Dawnbreaker General from the flanks!

Have you ever seen Byakuya Kuchiki's martial arts fist-fighting combined with Senbonzakura's coordinated attacks?

Xia Yuan was doing just that!

The entire arena was stunned!

Snow King Zhang and Dawnbreaker General also hadn't expected this sword-user to be so fierce with his fists. In close-quarters combat, they couldn't suppress him immediately.

However, because Dawnbreaker General had too many buffs on her, Xia Yuan couldn't injure her for the moment either.

Xia Yuan forced her back with a fierce punch, creating an opportunity to unleash his Bankai!

He reformed his Zanpakuto, holding the blade upright and sinking it downwards into ripples on the ground where it disappeared, saying slowly:

"Bankai!"

"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"

Mo Shiyu was thrilled. "It's here!"

The scene she had been longing to see was about to play out again!

Under the utterly shocked gazes of the crowd, countless enormous blades rose up on either side of Xia Yuan.

Immediately after, those blades all flew up and scattered, the number of scattered cherry blossom blades reaching hundreds of millions!

The number of petals during Bankai was hundreds of millions of times greater than during Shikai!

This formed a magnificent, surging sea of cherry blossoms!

Furthermore, as long as he controlled it with both hands, Senbonzakura's attack speed would be four times faster than before!

That Platinum-ranked Spirit Tamer last time had no power to resist, not letting him properly experience the power of Bankai.

Well now, he would just have to use these Mixue Ice Cream snowmen as practice targets!

Because, he loved drinking Mixue's lemon water the most!

Xia Yuan controlled the sea of cherry blossoms with both hands, dividing it into two streams. One stream surrounded Dawnbreaker General, while the other charged towards the five support spirits at the rear.

He wasn't sure what abilities those support spirits had, so he had to attack them simultaneously as well, to prevent them from using some strange method again to help Dawnbreaker General escape!

The sea of cherry blossoms mesmerized the spectators.

But Snow King Zhang remained perfectly clear-headed. He immediately swallowed several potions to replenish spiritual energy and actually stood together with the five support spirits, beginning to form a Spirit Tamer barrier and countless layers of various defensive shields. "Quickly, use every defensive method you have!"

The five support spirits and one Spirit Tamer worked together, simultaneously reinforcing defenses to protect themselves.

For a moment, even the sea of cherry blossoms filling the sky couldn't break through!

Snow King Zhang roared:

"Hold on! Don't let the passive buffs on my wife drop either! She is our only hope for breaking through and winning!"

Just as Xia Yuan's attention was divided to observe this side, a figure covered in blood actually fought its way out from the encirclement of cherry blossom blades.

Bathing in blood and fighting fiercely, she didn't launch an assault on Xia Yuan. Instead, she targeted Mo Shiyu in the distance, roaring:

"This sword shall pierce the stars!"

The longsword in Dawnbreaker General's hand blazed with brilliant, dazzling light!

A sword beam, countless times thicker and more powerful than before, shot forth like a flash of lightning.

Mo Shiyu had already deployed her Spirit Tamer barrier long ago, along with applying multiple defenses and even pay-to-win items.

Little Black hid behind her, peeking at the battlefield situation!

The first rule for a Spirit Tamer was to always protect oneself!

Unexpectedly, at the same time, one of the five support spirits trapped in the encirclement, under covering fire from its companions, briefly blew away the cherry blossom blades, opening a gap!

He began casting towards Mo Shiyu's direction:

"Barrier Dispersal!"

"Skill Dispel!"

The two coordinated seamlessly, flawlessly.

Mo Shiyu's Spirit Tamer barrier shattered instantly, and simultaneously, the lightning-fast sword beam had already arrived before her!

The entire audience watched unblinkingly, their hearts leaping into their throats!

Dawnbreaker General: "Got her!"

Snow King Zhang also revealed a smile. "We win!"

This was the difference in battle experience, the gap in Contracted Spirit coordination and synergy!

Even if you are a newbie win-streak monster!

Possessing a super-strong SR!

I can still use tactical means to win from a position of weakness!

This was the prowess of him, "Mr. Zhang (Unaware)"!

In Mo Shiyu's eyes, that gleam of sword light grew closer and closer. Only one thought filled her mind:

"It's over...!"

"I'm... going to die!"

But the moment this thought surfaced, a tall figure blocked her view.

Xia Yuan deflected that brilliant sword light with a single hand. Limitless Technique, activate!

"I underestimated them..."

"Indeed, relying solely on the power of the Zanpakuto Senbonzakura, my methods are still far too limited..."

"And besides, I'm not even that proficient with it yet."

The entire crowd stared in utter shock at this unbelievable scene, not understanding what had happened!

That terrifying sword light that seemed capable of crushing everything was just... easily stopped by that man in the black and white coat?!

That wasn't water spraying from a faucet!

That was the ultimate move of Dawnbreaker General, an SR Contracted Spirit!

And it was blocked so easily?

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa, this is like riding a rollercoaster! Snow King Zhang seems to have run into a tough opponent this time!"

"Is this high-level play? I'm watching this completely baffled!"

"Can someone explain what just happened?!"

"Dawnbreaker's ultimate move! How did he block it, and he seems so casual about it?!"

"Wait, I feel like I've seen this kind of unreasonable defense somewhere before..."

"......."

Although Xia Yuan had used the Limitless Technique, with just that one move, no one immediately recognized him as Xia Yuan.

All seven snowmen widened their round, beady eyes, also finding it hard to believe the scene before them!

Although Snow King Zhang was also shocked, he calmly analyzed what had just happened:

"That guy teleported just now!"

"And he was hiding such a trump card defensive skill all along... We lost..."

He took a deep breath and uttered words that made Dawnbreaker General, the spirits present, and the audience all gasp in shock:

"If I'm not mistaken, that guy is an SSR!"

"Moreover, he held back his strength. He didn't fight us with his full power..."
