You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry? Chapter 66

For a moment, the spectator room was once again flooded with a massive wave of gifts, showering Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan.

Amid the bombardment of gift effects, Xia Yuan looked at Mo Shiyu. "How much spiritual energy is left?"

Mo Shiyu: "Twenty percent..."

After playing ranked matches all day and also taking care of that four-star dungeon disaster, she was already feeling spiritual energy fatigue.

Little Black seized the chance to claim credit. "If it weren't for me, master would probably be out of spiritual energy by now. So, I'm still very useful!"

Xia Yuan gave a slight nod. "Keep queuing. It's enough. Even if we drain you dry, we can still activate the Inscription set's ability."

Time's End, after the Spirit Tamer's spiritual energy is completely consumed, replenishes the Contracted Spirit itself with fifty percent of its spiritual energy reserve.

He hadn't triggered this effect yet.

Perfect timing to try it today.

"Match found!"

Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan's ninth placement match continued.

As time passed, the number of viewers in their livestream room kept skyrocketing!

A blazing hot nine-win streak record was on the line!

More and more people clicked in, wanting to see who dared to be so boastful, claiming they would break "That Woman's" win streak record!

This ninth match, the opponent encountered was still Diamond rank, but clearly much stronger than the previous one.

Even though Xia Yuan activated Bankai right at the start, he still couldn't instantly kill them.

The opponent, seeing it was "Knife in Rainy Night Without Umbrella" on an eight-win streak, plus so many spectators, was way too vigilant!

Xia Yuan had to use the Eight Gates Released Formation ability, opening up to the fourth gate, combined with the Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's cherry blossom sword array from the "Annihilate Scenery" form, to steadily secure the win.

After achieving a nine-win streak in the placement matches, the number of viewers in the livestream room had already reached tens of thousands, with various gift effects paid for with Spirit Stones flying all over the place!

Seeing the effects were too many and dazzling, Mo Shiyu, without a word, directly turned off the gift effects.

Then, she queued for the final placement match!

The viewers in the livestream all wanted to witness the birth of a perfect ten-win streak in the placement matches. For a level 55 Contracted Spirit, this would be a historic feat!

"Match found!"

The arena scene materialized, a mountain peak environment, very fitting for the atmosphere of the final placement match.

The opponent's information also appeared.

Master rank, 11 points!

ID name, Black Flame Spirit!

In the Spirit Tamer ranked matches, after reaching the Master rank, you gain one point for each win.

Reaching 100 points at Master rank allows you to ascend to the peak rank of Spirit Tamers, the King rank!

Besides the extremely high rank, the opponent's customized avatar appearance was also quite impressive.

Two beautiful women wearing gorgeous long dresses, one black, one white, tall and slender, with legs longer than life itself!

The one in the black dress was the "Black Flame Spirit" Spirit Tamer.

The one in the white dress was a level 96 SR Contracted Spirit!

The black-dressed woman looked at the ID name above Mo Shiyu's head, placed a hand on her hip, and smiled slightly. "Oh, ran into a tough one, haven't we? Isn't this 'Knife in Rainy Night Without Umbrella' on a nine-win streak?"

The white-dressed Contracted Spirit snorted coldly. "What I love most is breaking other people's win streaks."

"Black Flame Spirit's" mind subconsciously raced into high-speed analysis. Her red lips gently bit her snow-white finger. "Can't be careless. He's definitely strong. For a nine-win streak to match us as opponents, an SSR is a sure thing!"

The white-dressed Contracted Spirit's eyes flickered, her expression growing more excited. She swung her long sword, a chilling aura emanating. "An SSR is good. I just happen to want to take out my anger on an SSR!"

"Black Flame Spirit" suggested, "Should I summon my other Contracted Spirits?"

The white-dressed Contracted Spirit shook her head, her tone resolute.

"No need. I want a 1V1."

"The opponent is strong, I can tell at a glance. Precisely because of that, he is the whetstone for my second awakening!"

"Black Flame Spirit" sighed. Fine, fine.

Her own SR, she still had to pamper.

Anyway, she didn't care much about ranked points; she valued the SR Contracted Spirit's own combat power growth more!

For a Contracted Spirit to increase its power, besides leveling up by clearing dungeons and equipping Inscriptions, there was another high-level method of becoming stronger.

That was to continuously engage in frenzied battles, teetering on the brink of death, dancing on the line between life and demise, to awaken the Contracted Spirit's own soul's original power!

Just like how a BOSS can have up to three phases, a Contracted Spirit can also undergo three awakenings!

Generally, only Contracted Spirits above level 90 can achieve soul awakening!

Each awakening significantly boosts combat power and stats.

On the other side of the arena.

Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan watched the black-dressed Spirit Tamer biting her finger, looking all analytical, and it felt very familiar...

The two exchanged a glance:

"No way..."

"That coincidental?"

Xia Yuan lifted his Zanpakuto, wanting to laugh but holding back. "Not sure if it's them. We'll know after we fight."

This ranked match was more pure.

Excluding Little Black, the accessory, it was a true 1v1 Contracted Spirit showdown!

The viewers in Mo Shiyu's livestream couldn't help but focus a hundred times more. This ranked match had suspense now!

One was a level 55 SSR!

The other was a Master rank level 96 SR!

Both Contracted Spirits were absolute powerhouses. Whoever won wouldn't be a surprise!

On the Contracted Spirit arena, Xia Yuan and the white-dressed Contracted Spirit faced each other from a distance.

Both sides were ready.

The thrilling countdown sounded:

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Battle start!"

Whoosh!

The instant the sound ended, both moved simultaneously!

Xia Yuan didn't hesitate, directly releasing his Zanpakuto to perform Bankai!

The white-dressed Contracted Spirit also didn't hesitate. With a flash of sword light, she dashed forward, closing in on Xia Yuan.

Clang!!!

Her frost-covered sword met the "No-Harm Zone" Xia Yuan had activated in advance, producing a metallic clang.

The white-dressed Contracted Spirit reacted extremely fast. She shifted her sword's edge, trying to enter from other angles, but her sword still got stuck.

"Why?"

She was slightly stunned. "This strange defensive ability... why is it so similar to that guy's?!"

Meanwhile, Xia Yuan had already completed Bankai. Towering giant blades rose behind him, scattering into a sky full of cherry blossoms that surged toward his opponent.

The white-dressed Contracted Spirit quickly created distance. She exhaled a chilling breath from her mouth and slashed forward at the incoming cherry blossom blades!

"Ice Cold Ten Thousand Miles!"

The icy sword energy swept horizontally through the cherry blossoms in front of her, cutting a path to survival from within the encirclement of cherry blossom blades.

Hearing the familiar skill name and the icy soul sword energy, Xia Yuan had already confirmed the other's identity...

The Alliance Raid Team's Contracted Spirit, Ice Cream Lady.

And that Spirit Tamer with the ID "Black Flame Spirit," who liked biting her finger, should be Han Yue, right?

This really was like Kun Kun encountering singing, dancing, rap, and basketball—way too coincidental!

Xia Yuan really couldn't hold back, revealing his trademark wide grin.

From far away, the Ice Soul Queen caught sight of this utterly detestable smile, her golden eyes filled with astonishment.

This smile, she remembered it all too well!

"This guy...!"

"Why does he smile exactly like that deadbeat Xia Yuan?"

The Ice Soul Queen watched the cherry blossoms dancing in the sky, briefly falling into thought. "But it can't be. Xia Yuan's skills aren't this flashy and fancy..."

Mo Shiyu had also realized the other party's identity and couldn't help but find it amusing.

However, the other side would probably have a hard time figuring out their identities.

After all, the abilities Xia Yuan was using were completely different.
