Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 66: Skill Resonance, A Brand New Killing Move!
Tang Qiuyi had never imagined that his first task as a freshly minted Official Level Player would be so challenging.
Seeing Qin Chuan unleash the kind of power only an Official Level Player could exhibit, he was so stunned that the pen he was holding fell to the ground.
And what happened next was once again beyond his expectations.
The ranks of Demon Beasts had just stabilized, and only a few had advanced enough to rival a Growth Rank Spiritual Beast.
Tang Qiuyi never expected one to appear here!
Normally, he should interrupt the assessment without hesitation and deal with the King Rat.
But seeing Qin Chuan stride toward the King Rat, his face calm and composed, and recalling his performance just now, Tang Qiuyi's steps halted.
According to the rules of this assessment, interrupting it would result in a 40% reduction in the team's score.
Perhaps it wasn't yet time to stop the assessment?
"Crackle—"
Accompanied by the sound of electrical arcing through the air, ferocious thunder in Tang Qiuyi's hands was compressed into a javelin.
Though he hadn't made a move yet, he was ready to strike at any moment.
On the other side, Qin Chuan, leaving the words "the rest of the rats are yours" behind, caused faint blue ripples to stir under his feet. His speed was so fast it nearly created an afterimage as he pounced towards the King Rat.
The water flowing on the platform rose again, forming numerous shimmering snakes in the headlamp light, swiftly binding towards the King Rat as they followed Qin Chuan's movements.
"Squeak—"
A sharp screech erupted. The furious King Rat burst forward with all four limbs, its body rocketing towards Qin Chuan like a cannonball, and its tail, twice its body length, whipped towards Qin Chuan's face like a steel lash.
"Whoosh!!!"
In that moment, Qin Chuan even had a delusion of facing Ji Huai's long whip.
Fortunately, even if he were facing Ji Huai, Qin Chuan was far from powerless at the moment.
The ripples under his feet reappeared, his steps incredibly light. His speed astonishing, he swiftly retreated two meters, his upper body leaning back narrowly dodging the tail swipe aimed at his face. Then, abruptly he raised a hand, making a grasping motion in mid-air.
A hand emerged instantly from the water flow, seizing the King Rat's tail that it was about to retract.
Before the King Rat could react, the Water Hand forcefully applied pressure.
The King Rat's body uncontrollably swung in an arc in the air, heavily smashing onto the platform, the impact creating spider-web-like cracks.
[Skill Resonance 2]further amplified the power of Dark Current Binding. Even with the bodily strength of the King Rat post-advancement, such a smashing left its head buzzing.
Before it could rise again, Qin Chuan already controlled wave after wave of water snakes to tightly coil around its body, eventually turning into a flow of water that completely enveloped the King Rat.
Spin for me…
Qin Chuan's clenched fist twisted gently, and the water flow, like a rolling drum washing machine, began spinning at high speed with the King Rat caught in it.
Under the headlamp, countless tiny sparkling lights in the flowing water dragged out trails at an incredibly fast speed, looking like bright strands of hair.
This stunning moment, however, concealed extreme terrifying force.
The intense abrasiveness of diamond powder in the high-speed spinning motion turned into countless blades slicing iron as mud, instantly slashing across the King Rat's body millions of times.
Even the body strength of an advanced Demon Beast couldn't withstand such horrifying cuts. The King Rat's fierce struggle quickly weakened, and with the dispersal of blood mist, it finally fell silent.
When the spinning water flow turned into thick blood water and heavily fell onto the platform, only a skeleton remained in the blood water.
"What a pity." Qin Chuan muttered quietly with slight regret, "So contaminated, this diamond powder can't be recovered."
On the other side, while Qin Chuan was fighting the Demon Rat King, the other four members quickly took action and dealt with the remaining Demon Rats.
Hearing this, and looking at the pale skeleton in the pool of blood, the others' gazes towards Qin Chuan suddenly became complex.
You killed a Demon Rat that was comparable in strength to a Growth Rank Spiritual Beast, and you're actually distressed over the little bit of Diamond powder that was used?!
Tang Qiuyi standing nearby coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"The assessment is over."
"The residual issues will be taken care of by the Special Affairs Group."
"You can now leave the sewer."
-----------------
The field assessment ended, and the team members went home to rest.
As they were leaving, the expressions of Qi Fei and the other two were dazed.
Although they had performed well in this real combat assessment and were likely to receive a good score, for some reason, they just couldn't feel happy.
Little Fatty was called over by Qin Chuan, which was just as well since he also had many questions.
"When did your Contracted Spiritual Beast advance?"
"Just these last few days," Qin Chuan spread his hands, "Luckily, it advanced right before this assessment, otherwise under those circumstances, even if Brother Tang had taken action, we would have been in danger."
"Yes, it really was fortunate," Little Fatty nodded in agreement, then with a strange expression, he continued, "You told me before that you had obtained a Low-level Resource."
"I wasn't lying," Qin Chuan said with a smile, "I really did get a Low-level Resource, and I literally dug it out from the ground."
Saying this, he pulled out the Earth Crystal and waved it in front of Little Fatty.
Little Fatty's eyes suddenly widened, and his breathing became as ragged as a bull's in an instant. He stared fixedly at the Earth Crystal, momentarily lost for words, "You… I… This…"
"You mentioned before that your uncle and aunt were planning to wait until the price of Low-level Resources dropped to one hundred thousand to buy you two, didn't you?" Qin Chuan handed the Earth Crystal to Little Fatty, "One hundred thousand."
Little Fatty's eyes instantly reddened.
Based on the pricing trend at the Dream Exchange, in another month, the price of Low-level Resources could likely drop below one hundred thousand and might not be priceless anymore.
But that was a month later.
Why are Low-level Resources expensive now but will become cheaper later?
On the one hand, Low-level Resources are currently scarce but will become more abundant in the future.
On the other hand, in Dream World right now, time is everything.
At the moment, Little Fatty is ranked within the top thousand on the Spiritual Beast List, acquiring a Low-level Resource in advance could possibly allow his Contracted Spiritual Beast to advance and maybe even break into the top hundred.
This means he could earn more Experience Gems at the day's end, gain three more Fragments at the week's end, and the previous five weeks required to obtain a random Low-level Resource could be shortened to two weeks.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
Once he obtains a second advancement resource, the strength of his Contracted Spiritual Beast could further enhance, and with Little Fatty pushing for records, breaking into the top ten of the Spiritual Beast List isn't impossible.
Entering the top ten of the Spiritual Beast List means another Low-level Resource every week.
Not only could he complete the advancement in a shorter period, but he could also save on buying one less Low-level Resource.
If the additional gains from the Extraordinary List and the Achievement Leaderboard due to this are taken into account, the effect would be even more exaggerated.
Such a future, made readily accessible by Qin Chuan simply selling him a resource at next month's price, became tantalizingly within reach.
This wasn't just a resource, it was a massive favor.
