Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 138: Awesome! Erik!

"Heh...heh..."

Looking at Eric's Fusion Spiritual Beast with all three Spirit Ascension Talents activated, a creature as awe-inspiring as a god or demon, Matsusaka Shigeki's pale skin, as if it had been soaking in formalin for a long time, flushed with a sickly crimson.

His body trembled with excessive excitement, and one hand shoved fingers into his mouth, giving off a wild, bestial panting without realizing it.

Even Eric couldn't help frowning at the sight of that madness and distortion.

Let's end this tedious battle quickly.

That was what he thought, when in the next instant, the Water Flower Deer let out a low groan, and countless thick vines shot out from the depths of the earth towards the monstrous creature formed by the fusion of three Spiritual Beasts.

In a flash, several bloody holes were pierced through the body of the beast, letting out a wretched howl, a sound like nails scraping a chalkboard that sets one's teeth on edge, as if three different voices were overlapped.

The vines that pierced the monster's body under the control of the Water Flower Deer, coiled around the beast's flesh tightly; the terrible power left deep marks on its body.

Just as the beast seemed about to be strangled to death, Matsusaka Shigeki, as if suddenly coming to his senses, let out an eerie, owl-like laugh.

"Fantastic~"

"Truly fantastic! Mr. Eric!!!"

"Then...see you tomorrow~"

With that, Matsusaka Shigeki and the beast shimmered with light, and quickly became ethereal.

Boom!!!

The Water Flower Deer lashed out with countless vines towards the direction of Matsusaka Shigeki, but when the dust cleared, there was no trace of him to be found.

He had just disappeared abruptly in front of Eric.

Looking at the cratered earth, Eric's expression shifted between light and dark.

A battle that should have ended with a decisive victory had utterly failed due to Matsusaka Shigeki's Instant Teleportation.

Who could have thought that Soul Fusion had the Talent Effect of Instant Teleportation?!

Eric frowned deeply, feeling as if he had overlooked something.

[Ranking List Daily Settlement Begins]

[Congratulations to the Player for obtaining 2nd place in the Spiritual Beast List (Elite Rank), Experience Gem +160]

[Congratulations...]

As Qin Chuan watched the lines of text appearing before him, his brows twitched slightly.

At this time yesterday, his Spiritual Beast was 3rd on the Spiritual Beast List, with Eric's Contracted Spiritual Beasts holding the 1st and 2nd positions.

The Spirit Ascension Talent had an unbeatable advantage in climbing the rankings.

With the death of Eric's Contracted Spiritual Beasts, by all logic, he should have been in 1st place.

Why had it changed to 2nd?

Before he could figure it out, Yue Li suddenly exclaimed.

"Luo! Look at the Spiritual Beast List quickly!"

Qin Chuan hurriedly opened the Ranking List, and then saw the name occupying the first place.

[Spiritual Beast List (Elite Rank) 1st Place]

[Location: 3273]

[Player Name: lion]

[Listed Spiritual Beast: Water Flower Deer]

[Current Rank of Listed Spiritual Beast: Elite Level Lv30]

[Reference Battle Record: Defeated three Contracted Spiritual Beasts of player Matsusaka Shigeki single-handedly.]

Taking on three opponents at once?

Wait... Matsusaka Shigeki?!

Qin Chuan scrolled through the Ranking List, and quickly spotted Matsusaka Shigeki's three Spiritual Beasts that had made it onto the list.

This guy...

When did he come to sector 3273, and he even got promoted to Elite Level?!

"My Third Talent doesn't seem to be very effective," Yue Li said with a downcast expression, "Erik won, can this be called bad luck?"

"No, his luck really isn't that great." Qin Chuan thought about it and suddenly smiled, "To defeat Matsusaka Shigeki, he must have used his Third Talent."

"If Matsusaka Shigeki seeks him out again tomorrow..."

Yue Li's gloomy expression quickly dissipated, and she smiled, "Then he'll have to delete his account."

They both had Golden Talents and knew all too well that Erik's Third Talent Effect probably only worked once every seven Dream Days, otherwise he wouldn't be so reluctant to use it.

And for Matsusaka Shigeki's Fusion Spiritual Beast, it activated once a Dream Day.

The Third Talent was a big gun, but it was also something not to be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.

"Water Flower and Xiaoqing have both fully recovered from their injuries, and everyone is fully energized, so we can challenge the town's Spiritual Beast in sector 3273 tomorrow," Qin Chuan said with a smile, "It's our first challenge at Hall Rank, and I'm really looking forward to it."

"The two of us working together will definitely take it down!" Yue Li swung her arm, full of energy, "I've already planned out the best route according to the distance and difficulty of the four Spiritual Beasts we need to defeat, and next we'll take turns challenging the town's Spiritual Beasts according to this map!"

"For those too far away or too strong, we'll use Advanced Resource Fragments to exchange for our choice!"

"Good." Qin Chuan smiled, "The third Spiritual Beast also needs to be scheduled as soon as possible."

These past few days, both of them had been preparing for the battle with Erik and had no time to consider the selection and contracting of the third Spiritual Beast.

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

Contracting an Elite Rank Spiritual Beast directly like Erik and Matsusaka Shigeki had an immediate effect on improving combat power and also saved a piece of rare resource, but this wasn't a good choice for Qin Chuan and Yue Li.

The reason was simple, wild Elite Rank Spiritual Beasts' Starlight Equipment Entries were often very low in level.

To have an excellent Contracted Spiritual Beast, one had to at least train it from the Growth Rank.

If one wanted to increase Affinity faster, starting from the Juvenile Stage had even better effects.

As the requirement for Spirit Descent needed 100% Affinity was discovered, the Juvenile Stage had become the theoretically best time to contract a Spiritual Beast.

Although it took more resources in the early stages, the rewards were greater in the middle and later stages.

"The third Spiritual Beast..." Yue Li's face showed longing, "I want to contract a Thunder Attribute one; it would fit best with my current Attributes."

"Wind, Fire, Thunder," Qin Chuan nodded in agreement, then his face took on a peculiar expression, "Indeed, that fits perfectly, but isn't it a bit too violent?"

"You're calling me violent?" Yue Li turned to look at him, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"No, no," Qin Chuan quickly waved his hands, "I mean these three Attributes' output is just... too fierce."

Watching Qin Chuan's hurried explanation and embarrassed look, Yue Li's lips curled up slightly, "Just teasing you."

"The reason I chose Thunder Attribute is partly because it resonates well with my Attributes," she said with a light chuckle, "and also because I know quite a bit about electromagnetism. I have many ideas I want to try out with Thunder, and besides..."

"I really like the Attributes that allow for ranged attacks, they're convenient to use."

"Is it inconvenient to use melee Attributes?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask.

Perhaps it was due to sparring with Ji Huai for too long or perhaps men naturally yearned for a close combat that got the blood pumping; Qin Chuan preferred Attributes and Spiritual Beast Skills that could be used in close combat.

His choice for the third Spiritual Beast also leaned in this direction.

"Hmm..."

A barely perceptible shadow flickered across Yue Li's eyes, but she quickly suppressed the sad memories that surged in her mind.

Everything was going to get better.

She told herself silently, then looked at the young man beside her, showing a sweet smile.

"For now, it's not so convenient~"
