Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 154: To Compete or Not to Compete, Which is More Important
Qin Chuan had made his point clear, so the person in charge naturally wouldn't try to keep him any longer.
He cheerfully called over the idle players in the camp, insisting on giving a proper send-off.
Unable to decline the warm gesture, Qin Chuan could only reluctantly agree.
Just as they walked out of the canyon, they saw a figure hurrying towards them.
It was an Apprentice Level player with a gloomy expression, also a player from Yanhuang Country, named "Hero Beyond Measure."
"How come you all are here?" he looked bewilderedly at the crowd gathering together, instinctively thinking they were there to meet him, only to become more disheartened, "I failed again! That detestable Thunder Attribute Spiritual Beast is just too strong."
"Damn, how can there be a Juvenile Stage stronger than the Growth Rank!"
"Little Shrimp, you're mistaken, we aren't here to meet you." A player in the crowd, familiar with him, didn't hesitate to reveal his nickname and set things straight, then pointed toward Qin Chuan and Yue Li, "Look who these are."
"Um?" Hero Beyond Measure, too overwhelmed to care about being called "Little Shrimp," turned and his jaw dropped upon seeing the game names of Qin Chuan and Yue Li, "You...you..."
"Not a good time, young hero." The person in charge smiled, "Luo and Yue Li are leaving."
"No hurry." Yue Li suddenly spoke up, looking interestedly at Hero Beyond Measure, "That Thunder Attribute Spiritual Beast, what's the deal?"
Her target for her third Spiritual Beast was of the Thunder Attribute.
Although she only heard snippets, the Thunder Attribute Spiritual Beast mentioned by this player piqued her interest.
"Um?"
The person in charge looked at Yue Li in surprise and then briefed her on the situation.
As the camp's person in charge, he was familiar with every player at the camp, especially something well-known as Hero Beyond Measure's predicament.
Hero Beyond Measure's Spiritual Beast had secured two pieces of low-level resources and had discovered the whereabouts of the third piece—only a step away from becoming an Official Level Player.
And it was this step that trapped him.
The low-level resource was guarded by a Spiritual Beast.
Usually, in such a scenario, Hero Beyond Measure could have sought help from Official Level players in the camp; with their aid, defeating a low-level resource's guardian Spiritual Beast wouldn't have been difficult.
But Hero Beyond Measure didn't seek help.
The reason was simple: the low-level resource was quite rare, guarded by a Juvenile Stage Lv10 Spiritual Beast.
Hero Beyond Measure had a somewhat adolescent and competitive heart, which was evident from his game name.
A resource guarded by a Spiritual Beast of the same Rank, and he still needs to call for help?
What a joke!
He chose to face it alone, relying on his own strength to defeat it!
And then...he failed.
The guardian Thunder Attribute Spiritual Beast was only a Juvenile Stage Lv10, but its skills were extremely powerful, almost anomalously so.

Defeated three consecutive times, each time battered and bruised, Hero Beyond Measure still didn't utter a word, aiming to rely on his strength to defeat it.
Hearing this, Yue Li and Qin Chuan exchanged glances.
Was Hero Beyond Measure's target just that one piece of low-level resource?
Perhaps not.
He might also be thinking, after acquiring the last resource and advancing to Official Level, to naturally tame the powerful Thunder Attribute Spiritual Beast as his second Spiritual Beast.
The idea was sound.
But clearly, Hero Beyond Measure's strength wasn't sufficient to achieve this, otherwise he wouldn't have repeatedly failed, thus embarrassingly.
After understanding the situation, hesitation flickered in Yue Li's eyes. Noticing this, Qin Chuan smiled and patted her hand, then turned to Hero Beyond Measure.
"I am quite interested in that Thunder Attribute Spiritual Beast. Could you take me to see it?"
At these words, Hero Beyond Measure's expression changed, and the others' expressions turned somewhat strange.
They could more or less guess the thoughts of the young hero.
"Okay... alright," although the expression on Gai Shi XiaoXia's face wasn't great, he hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement and turned back towards the way he had come.
Seeing the two people following XiaoXia as they left, there were murmurs among the players at the camp.
"Alright, disperse," the person in charge waved their hands, "It's good news that XiaoXia can be promoted to an Official Level Player soon."
-----------------
Walking two or three kilometers, a nest appeared on a cliff ahead. At the entrance of the nest, a Spiritual Beast made up of several purple crystals, with flashes of thunder constantly connecting the crystals to form its body, came into view.
[Spiritual Beast Species: Thunder Crystal Spirit]
[Spiritual Beast Attribute: Thunder Attribute]
[Spiritual Beast Level: Juvenile Stage Lv10]
[Spiritual Beast State: Uncontracted]
[Spiritual Beast Introduction: Thunder Attribute Spiritual Beast, Thunder Crystal Spirit. It is as explosive as its Attribute suggests and craves stronger battles, admiring those more powerful than itself.]
"That's the one," Gai Shi XiaoXia pointed out and stepped aside.
Yue Li glanced at Qin Chuan.
They had some discussions on the way here.
"Xiao Qing, go."
"Squeal~"
Xiao Qing let out a cry, flapped its wings, and instantly flew into the sky, looking provocatively at the opponent.
The Thunder Crystal Spirit turned its head, its gaze landing on Xiao Qing. Although there were two ranks between them, it only possessed a strong fighting spirit.
"Boom!"
With a sound similar to thunder, a flash of purple thunder, the body of the Thunder Crystal Spirit had already appeared above Xiao Qing. It raised its hands formed of purple crystals and clasped them together, hammering down fiercely on Xiao Qing.
That single move illuminated Qin Chuan's and Yue Li's eyes.
Instant Teleportation? Or a skill of movement fast enough to compare to Instant Teleportation?
No wonder it had managed to defeat opponents of the same level who had obtained two pieces of low-level resources.
This skill alone gave it enough confidence to look down upon peers.
Even Xiao Qing was stunned momentarily by the opponent's rapid movement before reacting. Instantly, it swung out a barrier formed of whirling wind, blocking between itself and the opponent's fists.
"Rumble!"
Accompanied by the Thunder Crystal Spirit's fists heavily hitting the wind barrier, countless sparks of electricity exploded, sweeping around.
This was clearly an output ability that burst with incredible force; if the opponent had been the same rank, this strike would have caused severe damage.
After testing was complete, Xiao Qing, spurred by Yue Li's signal, erupted in earnest.
It gusted its wings, and a big mouth smack directly hit the head of the Thunder Crystal Spirit. The savage force instantly made the Thunder Crystal Spirit fall from the sky, crashing into a dirt pit, knocked senseless.
Yue Li quickly stepped forward and directly contracted the defeated Thunder Crystal Spirit, while Xiao Qing picked up the resource guarded by the opponent and flew down to hand it over to Gai Shi XiaoXia.
"I..." Gai Shi XiaoXia took the resource, his expression notably vibrant.
He was both shocked by Xiao Qing's power and delighted that his Spiritual Beast could advance, but also slightly regretful that he missed the chance to contract the Thunder Crystal Spirit himself.
It was only when an intermediate resource shook in front of him that Gai Shi XiaoXia came to his senses, looking up at the smiling Yue Li.
"Thank you for guiding the way, here's a token of thanks, please accept it."
Once the two had left, Gai Shi XiaoXia's expression became increasingly complex.
A formidable Spiritual Beast hard to conquer at this stage or an intermediate resource worth millions, which was more valuable was hard to say.
