You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry? Chapter 79

"Welcome everyone to the live stream of Spirit Tamer contestant Mo Shiyu, and her SSR Contracted Spirit, the Northern Chuan God of Slaughter, Xia Yuan!"

"I am his exclusive Contracted Spirit battle commentator, Ziyue!"

"From now on, I will be providing full live commentary for every single one of God Yuan's battles!"

A crisp, pleasant female announcer's voice rang out in the arena room where Xia Yuan was, her tone brimming with excitement and fervor.

As an SSR with extremely high viewership, it was only natural he had a dedicated battle commentator.

After all, the number of viewers currently watching Xia Yuan's real-time battle had already soared to several million and was rapidly approaching ten million!

"Ah, the opponent is a high school Spirit Tamer from Imperial Capital Gardenia High School. What rotten luck, running into the big boss right out of the starter village!"

"However, his Contracted Spirit lineup is quite luxurious. It's not impossible for him to put up a fight against an SSR. Can we finally witness the Northern Chuan God of Slaughter's debut battle?!"

On the high tower's Contracted Spirit Arena.

Just as he was about to make his move, the opposing Spirit Tamer suddenly shouted loudly:

"I forfeit this match!"

Xia Yuan was stunned. The cursed energy that had just started boiling within him cooled down instantly. "You can forfeit?!"

Commentator Ziyue immediately chimed in:

"Oh my!"

"She forfeited! The Northern Chuan God of Slaughter successfully advances to the second floor!"

"But this is indeed a wise choice. If you encounter an unbeatable demon king early on and get your entire team wiped out, that would consume a massive amount of spiritual energy. Even if you later encounter opponents of equal strength, you'd have no chance of winning!"

Xia Yuan sighed helplessly. "Hey hey, is being a cowardly lizard really okay?"

Mo Shiyu looked at him strangely. "Isn't it good to advance to the next level without consuming any spiritual energy? Come on, come on, time is tight!"

Xia Yuan, of course, knew it was good not to consume spiritual energy...

But besides climbing the tower, he also wanted to harvest those system reward points!

If all his opponents just surrendered on sight, what was the point of even playing?

He turned around listlessly, following Mo Shiyu's steps, while simultaneously pondering a plan.

Suddenly.

A flash of inspiration struck Xia Yuan. He grinned. "Got it, got it."

If the opponent had a strategy, he had a brilliant counter.

This system reward bar, he was determined to fill it!

The elevator ascended.

Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan rose to the second floor.

Commentator Ziyue's excited voice rang out again:

"Here we go!"

"Who will be the second lucky one? As God Yuan said, let's hope they don't act like a cowardly lizard. We want to see a thrilling, satisfying battle!"

Before the elevator doors even opened, Xia Yuan had already raised his hand and asked:

"Fatty Yu, the moment this door opens, the battle officially starts, right?"

Mo Shiyu nodded. "That's right. What are you planning?"

Xia Yuan didn't answer, just smiled and waited quietly.

"Ding!"

The instant the elevator doors slid open, his figure had already vanished from the spot!

Before the opponent could even clearly see who had arrived, Xia Yuan's palm had already slammed into one of the Contracted Spirits, bending it over like a shrimp. At the same time, his magnetic voice rang out:

"Technique Forward Rotation, Cang!"

Boom!

A cerulean blue sphere of gravitational force erupted violently. Following the movement of Xia Yuan's palm, it swept across the remaining Contracted Spirits!

The opponent had seven Contracted Spirits.

Only one control-type SR remained!

And it was only now that the opposing Spirit Tamer reacted, spotting Xia Yuan's figure, his eyes practically blinded by the dazzling golden SSR above his head.

He didn't hesitate, immediately intending to surrender:

"I...!"

But he had only uttered the word "I" when Xia Yuan, with a finger shaped like a gun, fired a reverse rotation He, sending his last remaining SR back to the Contracted Spirit Space.

The residual shockwave from He also conveniently sent the opposing Spirit Tamer back to the respawn point...

Even a mosquito is still meat...

Without even removing his ink-black sunglasses, Xia Yuan had cleared the field in the blink of an eye!

His mocking voice sounded:

"Sorry..."

"You were a bit too slow with that surrender. Doesn't count."

This was Xia Yuan's counter-strategy.

Wasn't the solution simply to kill them all before they could even shout "surrender"?

As for the opponent wanting to conserve spiritual energy? That was none of his damn business!

He still wanted to accumulate that system reward bar!

Since he was already called the Northern Chuan God of Slaughter, he might as well live up to the name fully!

Commentator Ziyue was stunned.

The viewers were even more shocked, not fully grasping what had just happened!

Even Mo Shiyu was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Xia Yuan to end the match with such a rushed, instant-kill method...

He didn't even give the opponent time to surrender!

"Oh... oh my god!"

Commentator Ziyue was so astonished her local dialect slipped out:

"God Yuan, with speed faster than lightning, instantly killed all of the opponent's Contracted Spirits, including the Spirit Tamer!"

"So fast that the opponent had no time to surrender, didn't even get a clear look at who he was!"

Her voice trembled with excitement:

"The title 'Northern Chuan God of Slaughter' is not exaggerated in the slightest!"

"God Yuan seems to have an incredibly deep obsession with killing every single person on the opposing side. He'd rather expend more spiritual energy than let anyone escape!"

"But......"

"But it's so crazy, so cool, I love it!"

"Let's congratulate Spirit Tamer Mo Shiyu on successfully advancing to the third floor!"

The live stream chat exploded completely:

"YES!!! This is how battles should be!"

"Is this the true value of the Northern Chuan God of Slaughter? I'm in love!"

"Why didn't the opponent surrender?"

"Haha, surrender? Would my God Yuan give you a chance to speak? The elevator door had just opened, and he was already in their faces. They couldn't even react!"

"Hohoho... so cool. I'm a passerby turned fan. You have to be this decisive in killing. Otherwise, if everyone just surrenders along the way, what would we viewers watch?!"

"The SSR is just too invincible. It's only been a few minutes, and they're already on the third floor!"

"..."

Xia Yuan finished his work, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to walk towards the elevator.

Watching the system reward bar increase by 1%, he was in a great mood. "Fatty Yu, Little Black, stop spacing out. Didn't you say time was tight? Let's speed up this tower climb."

Only then did Mo Shiyu and Little Black snap out of their daze and follow him.

Although Mo Shiyu didn't know why Xia Yuan was doing this, she trusted his character. While his personality was terrible, he was definitely not some sadistic, slaughter-hungry maniac.

He must have his reasons for doing this...

Besides, it wasn't like he was truly killing them on the Contracted Spirit Arena.

The elevator ascended to the third floor.

From that moment on, it was Xia Yuan's hunting time!

Xia Yuan's terrifying burst speed left ordinary opponents completely unable to react.

He could even directly dive into the backline and instantly kill the opposing Spirit Tamer, securing an easy victory.

However, he didn't do that. Instead, he used extreme violence to kill all of the opponent's Contracted Spirits first, then casually dealt with the Spirit Tamer.

SR Contracted Spirits without sufficient strength simply couldn't block him.

Xia Yuan embarked on a frenzied winning streak, continuously climbing floors at an incredibly fast pace!

Commentator Ziyue's passionate shouts never stopped, and the live stream viewers were cheering with immense satisfaction!

More and more viewers heard the news and flocked in.

The viewer count in Xia Yuan's live stream directly broke through the 50 million mark, and his popularity ranking soared to third place!

Only two were ranked above him, both SSR favorites to win the championship!

The Demon Blade Princess!

And last tournament's champion, Eternal Night Judgment Alcas!

Wherever they went, most opponents chose to surrender, making their climb more time and effort-efficient than Xia Yuan's.

However, as these Spirit Tamer contestants with overwhelming strength climbed higher and higher, the probability of them encountering each other increased exponentially!

When Xia Yuan reached the ninth floor, after using some tactics to kill a powerful SR, his system reward bar finally reached 75%!

The universal skill lottery draw opened once again!

Xia Yuan didn't hesitate and immediately started the draw.

He believed in his luck.

The system's voice echoed in his mind:

"Ding, congratulations host, you have obtained the universal skill – all abilities of the Marine Admiral Kizaru's Devil Fruit, the Logia-type Glint-Glove Fruit, from the original One Piece world!"

Nice!

Hit a pretty good jackpot!
