Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 79: Qin Chuan vs Ji Huai
On the big sports field, over two hundred students sat at the junction between the central grass lawn and plastic track, forming a circle as they looked at the two figures standing afar in the field, with constant discussions buzzing among them.
Now, everyone knew that Qin Chuan had broken through.
They were filled with anticipation for the battle about to commence.
"Are you ready?" Ji Huai gazed at Qin Chuan twenty meters away, and asked with a deep voice.
Qin Chuan turned his head and glanced behind him.
One end of a hose was connected to a water faucet in the distance, while the other end rested on the grass, gushing water for a while now.
At this moment, the grass under his feet had become quite muddy, and he could extract several cubic meters of water for combat whenever he wished.
After reaching the Official level, the volume of water he needed for battle couldn't be satisfied with just a few liters.
Opening a large box weighing about ten pounds and full of diamond powder, Qin Chuan slowly spoke.
"I'm ready."
The moment Qin Chuan's words fell, Ji Huai's legs explosively exerted force, instantly digging a small pit in the lawn beneath him and charging toward Qin Chuan like a cheetah.
With the enhancement from the Extraordinary Cultivation Method, his speed easily surpassed the world record set before the Extraordinary Descent, covering ten meters in the blink of an eye.
"Ding dang—"
The wrist that Ji Huai slowly raised was adorned with large metal rings that reflected cold white light under the night lamps. In an instant, they disassembled and reformed into a Horse-cutting Saber.
As the saber materialized, Ji Huai had already reached in front of Qin Chuan, with the two and a half meter long Horse-cutting Saber drawing a crescent arc in the darkness, slashing horizontally!
"Clang—"
A Water Hand enveloped with countless diamond powder particles instantly grasped the sharp blade of the Horse-cutting Saber with the aid of Dark Current Binding, turning the fragile stream of water into something as unbreakable as iron tongs. Even with Ji Huai's strength, he momentarily couldn't pull his weapon away.
Another stream of water shot toward Ji Huai's face at the same moment, turning into a thin water membrane spanning two to three square meters near his head, attempting to envelop Ji Huai's head.
Should it succeed, Ji Huai's mouth and nose would be instantly sealed. Although his current physical condition allowed him to hold his breath for nearly ten minutes, the rapid depletion of stamina during combat meant that holding his breath for over a minute could have negative impacts.
Ji Huai, who knew this as well, suddenly revealed a flash of red in his eyes.
The next moment, he opened his mouth and expelled a flame wrapped in terrifying heat, which instantly landed on the water membrane. The intensely boiling water turned to gas in an instant, and the countless diamond powder particles that had been exposed to the flames shone brightly one final time before turning into carbon dioxide and dispersing.
At the same time, the Horse-cutting Saber, which was tightly grasped by the Water Hand, turned red-hot in that instant, as if it had just been removed from the forging furnace, with temperatures soaring to over a thousand degrees vaporizing the water stream that was in direct contact.
Ji Huai, who had been in an awkward situation just moments ago, now coolly pulled out the long saber, and while slashing at Qin Chuan once more, the flame rising from the blade lit up half of the sports field.
Ji Huai's second contracted Spiritual Beast was of the Fire Attribute!
Qin Chuan's pupils suddenly constricted.
In the past practical combat classes and exchanges, even when facing the joint attack of over two hundred students, Ji Huai had never used his second attribute, as one was enough to be skillful.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan had now also contracted a second Spiritual Beast.
"Crack—"
In just a split second, the temperature within a five-meter radius centered on Qin Chuan plummeted below zero, and the water vapor in the air instantly condensed, forming a large area of frost on the grass and Ji Huai's body.
The sudden drop in temperature caused the burning flames to dim sharply, and the exposed blade was instantly intercepted by a water stream exhaling cold air.
"Clang—"
Another sound of metal clashing echoed across the sports field.
Under the night's lamplight, the currents of water sparkled as if countless jewels were shimmering within, the seeping chill extinguishing the red-hot blade in an instant.
The mixture of ice and water was the most suitable state for Qin Chuan's dual attributes at this stage.
Within the water at zero degrees, the content of tiny ice crystals, making up 10% of the mixture, could strengthen the flow of water. The fact that this icy liquid could swiftly solidify into ice or melt back into water made Qin Chuan's attacks even more flexible.
Knowing that Ji Huai might seek him out for a sparring match, he would not have failed to prepare.
"Crack—"
The uneven alternation between cold and heat caused the blade in Ji Huai's grasp to snap instantly, but Qin Chuan didn't miss this precious opportunity. A thick shard shot out from within the water current, already transformed into a razor-sharp ice cone by the time it reached Ji Huai.
"Boom!!!"
Regaining his composure, Ji Huai extended a hand in haste, grasping the ice cone tightly while bursting forth with intense flames.
The power of the Fire Attribute collided with that of the Ice Attribute in an instant, and although the terrifying heat could not break through the suppression of the Frost Cold, it still effortlessly turned the solid ice into steam within its reach.
The rising steam, once freed from the fiery domain, was turned into layers of frost mist by the cold, then dispersed by the shockwave of the collision, instantly obstructing the visibility between the two fighters.
Taking advantage of the cover of the frost mist, Ji Huai's figure rapidly retreated, creating a distance of about five meters from Qin Chuan in the blink of an eye.
"Ice Attribute?" Ji Huai's voice carried a more somber tone, "From a contract last night?"
The reason he asked was that he had watched Qin Chuan's combat assessment video from the previous day, in which this power had not been demonstrated.
"Yes."
Qin Chuan pursed his lips slightly, uplifted at having fended off Ji Huai, yet he dared not become complacent too early.
The observing students were already astir with excitement.
Who, after sparring for so long, could fend off Ji Huai head-on?
This was Changxing City's number one fighter!
And now, Qin Chuan had done it!
In an instant, the way people looked at Qin Chuan was filled with admiration, as if he had become a master on the same level as Ji Huai.
"Not bad." Ji Huai spoke indifferently, not continuing the attack but instead pulling two uneven silver-white metal rods from his waist, each with the thickness of a finger joint, and attaching them to the long blade in his hand.
Watching as the long blade consumed the two metal rods and the color turned dark and profound, Qin Chuan's expression immediately became stern.
Alloys!
By adding a small proportion of other metals to one kind of metal, the resulting fully mixed alloy could potentially see great improvements in strength, hardness, and other attributes.

Though they were both silver-white, Qin Chuan was certain those two rods were not made of iron.
Ji Huai's blade had snapped under rapid temperature fluctuation, thus the alloys he now added must be related to that!
"Let's go again!"
The moment Ji Huai's voice fell, he was already charging at Qin Chuan with the newly forged Horse-cutting Saber.
As the Horse-cutting Saber approached Qin Chuan, the fiery red blade flared up, its heat soaring high enough that even the Frost Cold couldn't completely suppress it.
"Boom!!!"
Watching the Water Hand, brimming with cold air, again blocked the advance but remained undamaged through the alternating cold and heat, and bursting with terrifying heat that rapidly sliced through the water current, Qin Chuan's complexion turned grave.
Ji Huai, terrible indeed!
