Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 164: Damn, He Acted Through It!

"Congratulations, Teacher Ji," Qin Chuan said with a smile, yet also with confusion.

After being promoted to an Elite Level Player and maxing out the Spiritual Beast Level, Ji Huai's strength had inevitably surged. Although his Extraordinary Value still had a certain distance from Qin Chuan's, Ji Huai's individual strength could not be simply measured by Extraordinary Value.

In such circumstances, even a Fourth Rank Demon Beast along with six Third Rank Demon Beasts should not pose a problem for Ji Huai, so why did he extend an invitation to him?

It should be known that the reason for an invitation to a Special Affairs Group task was due to a shortage of personnel.

Realizing Qin Chuan's confusion, Ji Huai spoke calmly, "This time I called you here mainly to let you see a Fourth Rank Demon Beast."

"This is not the first Fourth Rank Demon Beast within the borders of Yanhuang Country; two days ago, one appeared in Gui Sen City, and several more have appeared in the last two days."

"Third Rank Demon Beasts already have some special abilities, but Fourth Rank Demon Beasts even more so."

"Taking this opportunity to see a Fourth Rank Demon Beast up close will help you in dealing with similar Demon Beasts in the future."

"After all…" Ji Huai's eyelids fluttered, "as my strength has been promoted to the Elite Level, the number of times I invite you to join Special Affairs tasks will likely decrease significantly."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan's mouth twitched.

What Ji Huai meant was that he alone was enough to oversee Changxing City, and there wouldn't be a shortage of personnel in the short term, thus, Qin Chuan wouldn't have many opportunities to participate later on.

Considering this, Ji Huai had Qin Chuan join this operation so he could see the situation with a Fourth Rank Demon Beast up close.

Although it sounded like he was being considerate, the aura of a powerful individual was overwhelming. Even Qin Chuan, familiar with Ji Huai, felt it difficult to withstand.

Damn, it made him pose.

The two strode swiftly, one in front of the other entering the valley, only to be met by dozens of First and Second Rank Demon Beasts charging at them.

Before Qin Chuan could act, Ji Huai casually flicked his wrist and a metal ring transformed into numerous slender steel needles, penetrating the bodies of the Demon Beasts before retracting, leaving only a pile of corpses.

"The two of us will clear the way, first killing the Third and Fourth Rank Demon Beasts," Ji Huai moved quickly forward, still speaking in an even tone, "then the other combat personnel will handle the cleanup."

"Now, let me tell you about the differences between Fourth Rank Demon Beasts and ordinary Demon Beasts."

"Alright," Qin Chuan listened attentively.

He was indeed very curious.

"First and Second Rank Demon Beasts fight solely with physical strength. They are smarter than normal animals, but they are full of madness and impulsiveness," Ji Huai offhandedly cleared the area with another round of flying needles and continued, "They are more like mere foot soldiers."

Hearing this, and seeing the pile of Demon Beast corpses on the ground, Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

Although First and Second Rank Demon Beasts could resist firearms and other modern weapons, they were at a disadvantage against Transcendent powers; Official Level Players, with some training, could have the strength to kill these types of Demon Beasts.

Official Level Players, easy as pie.

First and Second Rank Demon Beasts, mere foot soldiers.

No problem there.

"Compared to First and Second Rank Demon Beasts, Third Rank Demon Beasts have undergone a new change; they are smarter and can maintain a certain level of reason amidst their madness. At the same time, they can possess some special abilities, rather than relying solely on physical fighting," Ji Huai paused slightly.

"Moreover, their body structure is a bit different."

"If the body ofType III Demon Beasts is dissected immediately, a special energy similar to Extraordinary Energy will be found, which dissipates quickly after the Demon Beast dies."

"This is considered the source of the Demon Beast's special abilities."

"In a Fourth Rank Demon Beast, this energy condenses into a solid and becomes crystal-like, remaining even after the Demon Beast's death."

"This type of crystal, called a Demon Core, is currently very scarce, and the Special Affairs Equipment Department is researching its uses."

"Soon, you'll see what a Demon Core looks like," Ji Huai stated calmly, "Unlike Third Rank Demon Beasts, the special abilities of Fourth Rank Demon Beasts are more diverse and complete."

"Just like the skills of the Spiritual Beasts, their abilities have become systematic."

"At the same time, Fourth Rank Demon Beasts could completely suppress their insane nature and maintain their sanity at all times."

"Therefore, Fourth Rank Demon Beasts are far more difficult to deal with than Third Rank ones."

"I see," Qin Chuan nodded thoughtfully.

Demon Core, huh...

It somewhat resembles the resources dropped by Spiritual Beasts after they are killed.

But resources can be used to advance Spiritual Beasts, something the Demon Core definitely cannot do.

Thus, it must be handed over to the Special Affairs Equipment Department for research.

The Special Affairs Equipment Department, a crucial department within the Special Affairs Group, was something Qin Chuan only learned about after gaining higher clearance.

The purpose of this department was to utilize extraordinary objects to develop extraordinary weapons.

Moreover, they had already achieved certain results.

Using low-level resources, the Special Affairs Equipment Department had developed an Extraordinary Bomb that could threaten Third Rank Demon Beasts; these bombs had already been employed in various battles against Demon Beasts.

With the presence of Ji Huai and Qin Chuan, the leading player in Changxing City, there was no need to request Extraordinary Bombs; instead, they were reserved for places in greater need.

Therefore, Qin Chuan had not witnessed the actual use of an Extraordinary Bomb in previous battles.

Now with the Demon Core, the Special Affairs Equipment Department might develop even more powerful Extraordinary Bombs or other extraordinary weapons.

As they spoke, the two slaughtered their way and eventually entered deep into the valley.

The deeper parts of the valley were eerily quieter than the outskirts, with not a single First or Second Rank Demon Beast appearing.

But the sense of danger was much more intense.

Suddenly, a Third Rank Demon Snake, thick as a water barrel, shot out like a spear from its hiding spot toward Qin Chuan—before the giant snake attacked, there was not even a hint of its presence, indicating its special ability to hide its aura.

Qin Chuan's gaze slightly hardened, and the next moment he transformed into scattering snowflakes.

Having missed its target, the giant snake paused momentarily.

But that was the only chance it got.

Appearing amidst the drifting snow, Qin Chuan's hand had already landed on the shadow of the giant snake.

A black handprint appeared on the corresponding spot on the body of the snake, which quickly spread around, turning most of its body pitch black.

Accompanied by a painful scream, the giant snake heavily fell to the ground and was soon completely corroded by the Dark Attribute Power, leaving no blood or bones.

Qin Chuan turned his head toward the appearing Third Rank Demon Beasts and one that they surrounded and protected, resembling a fierce beast with both lion and deer features.

The aura emanating from the beast far exceeded that of a Third Rank Demon Beast, causing Qin Chuan's gaze to harden slightly.

Was this a Fourth Rank Demon Beast?

"Attack."

With a low shout, Ji Huai flicked out the Female and Male Dual Swords, charging toward the leading Fourth Rank Demon Beast.

Watching the other five Third Rank Demon Beasts that immediately rushed to intercept Ji Huai, Qin Chuan shook his head slightly, and then raised a hand, clenching it tightly.

"Boom!!!"

Streams of water that breached from the void transformed into five gigantic hands, striking toward the Third Rank Demon Beasts.

After swiftly subduing the Third Rank Demon Beasts, Qin Chuan looked toward the battleground where Ji Huai was fighting the Fourth Rank Demon Beast.

This was the main event.
