You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry? Chapter 80

Natural-type: Glint-Glint Fruit!

This is some good stuff!

A Glint Human!

Can transform any part of the body into light.

Simultaneously possesses the speed of light, capable of light-speed attacks and light-speed movement!

Xia Yuan was in an extremely good mood. He never thought he'd have a day where he could become light.

Inside the elevator, Mo Shiyu looked at Xia Yuan, who was suddenly smiling very happily, with a face full of confusion. She muttered quietly,

"What devious plan are you cooking up now?"

Xia Yuan chuckled, "Nothing, just want to become light and try kicking someone."

Become light?

How is that even possible...

"Ding!"

The elevator ascended to the tenth floor.

Xia Yuan still launched a surprise attack, his figure vanishing from the spot.

However, this time the attack didn't succeed. His palm slammed into a fiery red hammer, producing a loud "Boom!"

In front of him, a bearded dwarf Contracted Spirit stared at him with a serious expression and spoke,

"I never thought the esteemed Northern Chuan God of Slaughter would charge over and launch a sneak attack without even a greeting. Isn't that a bit impolite?"

The rank glowing above his head was, astonishingly, also SSR!

Level 74!

Commentator Ziyue slapped the table and stood up, her shocked voice resounding through the live stream:

"Blocked!"

"Oh my heavens, the opponent is actually an SSR too!"

"As the floor level rises, the epic clash between SSR-level powerhouses has finally begun!"

"The SSR that God Yuan has encountered is none other than the veteran ace SSR of Zhehai Province, last year's national tournament fourth place holder, The Molten Forgemaster!"

The live stream had completely exploded:

"Ooooh, the big one is here, SSR encounter!"

"Whoever loses will be so embarrassed. It's time to prove their own strength. This is exactly what I wanted to see!"

"The Molten Forgemaster! He's seriously powerful. Fourth place last year, and I think second place the year before that. He's hammered many powerful Contracted Spirits to death with that hammer of his. Even several SSRs have lost to him!"

"Oh my god, a level 74 SSR. God Yuan is only level 55. There's a level difference!"

"This is bad. I'm a sucker for looks, so I definitely support God Yuan, but with such a big level gap, it's a bit dangerous!"

"Overall, it seems like The Molten Forgemaster is still fiercer. Veteran SSRs have the advantage of high levels. God Yuan is suffering from being too young!"

"......"

Mo Shiyu's expression turned serious. Knowing a formidable opponent had arrived, she immediately grew tense.

This was Xia Yuan's first real 1v1 battle with another SSR!

Because SSR spirits heavily depend on resources and cultivation, generally, those Lucky Spirit Tamers who draw an SSR during their high school years almost exclusively cultivate that one SSR Contracted Spirit.

They simply don't have the energy to cultivate other spirits.

However, when Xia Yuan saw the opponent's glittering golden emblem, a look of excitement appeared on his face. "Finally here, big reward points!"

He had been wanting to test the strength of other SSRs for a while now.

Mainly because Silly Dragon wouldn't play with him, couldn't even trick him into it.

"Not returning a courtesy is impolite. Take my hammer!"

The Molten Forgemaster swung his fiery red great hammer, smashing it straight towards Xia Yuan's face.

This hammer strike carried immense force and momentum, whistling through the air!

A sonic boom even erupted in the air!

One could see the sheer power behind it!

Yet, Xia Yuan stood there, neither dodging nor evading.

The fiery red great hammer abruptly halted right in front of him, unable to advance even half a step further.

The Molten Forgemaster's eyes narrowed. He retreated, pulling his Spirit Tamer along with him, putting distance between them and Xia Yuan.

Commentator Ziyue screamed excitedly:

"Ahhh, blocked!"

"This is God Yuan's miraculous Infinity defense! It's too outrageous, too unbelievable!"

The Molten Forgemaster hefted his hammer, his rough voice ringing out:

"This must be that Infinity ability of yours, right? I've seen the video of your fight with those assassin spirits at the station..."

"The feeling is too strange!"

"It shouldn't be a barrier or a block. My hammer felt like it struck into another dimensional space. It's indeed quite troublesome..."

Xia Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Old man, I didn't expect your combat intuition to still be so sharp at your age."

The Molten Forgemaster laughed heartily. "Compared to you youngsters, I still fall short by quite a bit."

Xia Yuan didn't waste words either. He made a finger-snapping gesture, grinning widely.

"Since you have some understanding of my ability, old man, I won't hold back either."

"I wonder if your hammer can withstand my attack..."

"Old man, you better catch this!"

Zzzzz...!

Terrifying cursed energy gathered at his fingertips. A massive sphere of purple energy condensed and, the moment he snapped his fingers, blasted forth!

"Void Technique 'Purple'!"

By now, Xia Yuan could easily and happily unleash an ultra-powerful Void Technique 'Purple', almost achieving instant casting!

BOOM!!!

The entire room was engulfed in purple light.

A world-destroying energy wave, moving at extreme speed, blasted towards The Molten Forgemaster.

The range was also enormous, leaving no room to dodge.

Knowing he couldn't escape, The Molten Forgemaster simply didn't plan to dodge. He hammered the ground, cracking open a space filled with magma.

A shield covered in mysterious runes floated out from within!

"Divine Artifact, Shield of Noah!"

He struck the shield with his hammer once more.

Dong!

A deafening bell-like sound rang out.

The Shield of Noah seemed to be tempered by this hammer strike, erupting with even greater power as it positioned itself before him.

Void Technique 'Purple' slammed violently into the divine artifact Shield of Noah!

Frenzied energy rampaged throughout the space.

The collision of their skills stirred up a storm that swept across the entire arena, shaking heaven and earth!

This scene scared Commentator Ziyue so much she forgot to commentate.

The live stream audience was utterly dumbfounded.

This is how SSRs exchange blows?!

If not for being inside the interdimensional Contracted Spirit Arena Tower, the Golden House venue would probably have been blasted open with a huge hole.

Xia Yuan stood in place with his hands in his pockets, his stylish leather jacket flapping wildly in the wind, a perpetually playful smile hanging on his face.

After quite a while.

Finally, the aftershocks dissipated.

The divine artifact Shield of Noah had blocked Void Technique 'Purple'!

The Molten Forgemaster let out a sigh of relief, a slight upward curve forming at the corner of his mouth. He laughed heartily, "The Void Technique is one of your most lethal moves, right? And yet, it's nothing special!"

The live stream erupted in gasps of surprise!

Commentator Ziyue exclaimed in shock:

"Blocked!"

"The Forgemaster's divine artifact blocked God Yuan's extremely destructive Void Technique 'Purple'!"

"As expected of a veteran ace SSR!"

The moment her words finished.

*Crack!*

The Molten Forgemaster's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the suddenly cracking divine artifact Shield of Noah, utterly astonished. "My divine artifact... shattered?!"

The divine artifact Shield of Noah cracked, the fissure continuously spreading until the entire shield crumbled apart!

Xia Yuan raised his hand to remove his sunglasses. His deep blue eyes glimmered with a faint light as he smiled, a very arrogant smile.

"Old man, don't celebrate so early."

"Blocking one casual Void Technique 'Purple' of mine merely earns you a ticket to spar with me..."
