Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 140 Challenge! Hall Rank Lv36 Rapid Freeze Bird! (April 2200 Monthly Ticket Extra)
"Teacher Ji, are the numbers of Third Rank demon beasts increasing?"
At night, after practicing sword skills with Ji Huai, Qin Chuan suddenly spoke up.
Having already secured a guaranteed admission, he didn't need to continue with cultural studies; he thought it better to spend that time practicing the Unnamed Breathing Skill more. However, Qin Chuan still attended the Extraordinary Theory Class and Extraordinary Practical Combat Class regularly in the evening, as his learning was not for college entrance exams.
That morning, he received an invitation for a special collaboration task and chose to participate.
Compared to the last task at East Lake, this demon beast incident was much smaller in scale, but there were three Third Rank demon beasts.
The task went smoothly, but Qin Chuan couldn't help but worry.
He always felt that the number of Third Rank demon beasts was increasing faster than expected.
"Indeed," Ji Huai dusted off his sleeves and nodded at the words, "Demon beasts have simple ways to advance, including natural growth and devouring each other to quickly grow stronger."
"Conventional weapons do limited damage to them; large-scale thermal weapons might even be absorbed by them to enhance their own energy, so we have to rely on Extraordinary Power."
"But Transcendents need to advance their Spiritual Beasts to enhance their own Extraordinary Value, and the requirements for advancing Spiritual Beasts are much higher than those for demon beasts; it's hard for us to keep up with the growth in strength of demon beasts."
"Therefore, not just Yanhuang, but the whole world places great importance on eradicating demon beasts. While we still can overcome them, we should suppress them as much as possible in their infancy."
"But you don't need to be overly anxious," Ji Huai glanced at Qin Chuan's tense face and spoke calmly, "The rank division of demon beasts is benchmarked against that of Spiritual Beasts."
"Although our Transcendent power comes from Spiritual Beasts, it is essentially not the same system," Ji Huai's voice carried a tone of calm, "We have cultivation methods, which allow for deeper development of Extraordinary Power."
"We have higher combat skills, which allow us to use individual combat power more efficiently."
"Also, our Extraordinary Value is the sum of several Spiritual Beast Species Values and Affinity, inherently higher."
"Although most people can't achieve this, Official Level Players have the strength to counter Third Rank demon beasts."
This point, Ji Huai himself was the clearest example.
"Our current focus on offering Extraordinary Practical Combat courses is primarily to empower more players to gain stronger power under difficult promotion circumstances."
"At this stage, it's only implemented in secondary and tertiary institutions because educational resources are very limited."
"But this is only the situation at present; the scope will continue to expand in the future."
"Eventually, everyone will be cultivating, everyone will become stronger."
"I understand," Qin Chuan nodded, gaining a deeper understanding of the current situation.
After explaining to Qin Chuan, Ji Huai coolly turned around, leaving only one sentence.
"From tomorrow, I will continuously switch weapons and moves to spar with you."
Qin Chuan grimaced, unable to care about demon beasts anymore.
In tonight's sparring, he had successfully grappled with Ji Huai for 30 rounds.
So, he was about to be thrashed again.

Dream World.
Coming to her senses, Yue Li immediately looked sideways at Qin Chuan, her eyes carrying a bit of oddness, "Now I've become the possessor of the Holy Sanctuary Talent."
"It's okay, since we started being promoted to Elite Level Players, we've been under global player scrutiny," Qin Chuan said with a shrug, "More debts won't crush us."
"Besides, this misjudgment isn't necessarily a bad thing," he continued with his thought from real life, "Now everyone knows that the Holy Sanctuary can disable all Talent Effects."
"Without Talent Effects, we can only rely on the original strength of the Contracted Spiritual Beasts."
"Not many can surpass us in that regard; it may even deter some who are targeting us," he added with a smile.

"That makes sense," Yue Li nodded slightly, then her eyes showed a hint of worry, "But Matsusaka Shigeki and Erik..."
These two individuals were strong enough to threaten them and were currently in the same area.
"Let them fight among themselves first," Qin Chuan mused, "Forcing out Erik's Third Talent, Matsusaka Shigeki will go all out against Erik until Erik is dead or the seven Dream Days are over."
"I'm not sure if he'll target us after dealing with Erik, but after challenging the area's Spiritual Beast, we'll soon be leaving here."
At that point, Qin Chuan's eyes slightly drooped, hiding a trace of sharpness.
He clenched nearly 20 seconds worth of Time Stop in his hand, ready to teach anyone who dared approach him a lesson.
Matsusaka Shigeki, best not to provoke him.
"Right," Yue Li nodded, "If things go smoothly, we'll be able to leave area 3273 tomorrow. It won't be easy for them to find us if we're not in the same area."
Both being highly noticed players, their every move from one area to another was revealed after leaving the Dream World, though there was still a time lag.
Moreover, Yue Li had luck on her side.
"Let's not talk about that. Let's go see how formidable the Rapid Freeze Bird is," Qin Chuan chuckled, glancing at the four beasts beside them, rearing to go.
Though the Hall Rank was only one rank higher than the Elite Rank.
Having the title of a regional Spiritual Beast meant overcoming it wouldn't be so simple.
During their Growth Rank, the four beasts had worked together at full strength to successfully kill a Level 20 Elite Rank Blue Scale Jiao.
Now their opponent wasn't just any newly Advanced Hall Level Spiritual Beast but at Level 36. Facing an enemy for the first time, without knowing the extent of its strength, called for caution.
Seeking the regional Spiritual Beast didn't require the guidance of the Third Talent of the Sun Needle.
The Special Affairs Group had already marked the territory ranges of the Hall Rank Spiritual Beasts on the map of each area.
Initially, their purpose was to warn players not to court death.
Six hours later, Qin Chuan and Yue Li stood at the base of a snow-capped mountain.
Compared to the majestic, snow-blanketed mountain before them, the snow hill where they first found the ice cream seemed insignificant.
Staring up at the summit of the snow mountain, the assassin's innate instinct tensed Snow Cream's little face.
It faintly sensed a dreadful opponent at the top of the mountain.
One unimaginably powerful.
But to become equally strong, it must first overcome this foe.
"Let's go," Qin Chuan took a deep breath and took the first step into the territory of the snow mountain.
As both individuals and all four beasts entered the range of the snow mountain, the harsh snow and wind abruptly stilled.
A sharp, authoritative cry echoed from the peak of the snow mountain.
In the next instant, a gigantic bird covered in ice-blue feathers and dragging long icicle-like tail feathers, emitting a severe cold, and with wings spanning over ten meters in width soared from the summit.
In just a few seconds, it crossed the vast snow mountain and appeared right above their heads, its icy eyes filled with a cold murderous intent, radiating a formidable aura far surpassing the Elite Rank, powerful enough to take one's breath away.
Text then appeared in front of both Qin Chuan and Yue Li.
