You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry?-Chapter 37: Anyone capable of fighting? If all else fails, let's all go together!

Xia Yuan was defending the arena, and for a moment, no one dared to step up and challenge him!
The Mo family disciples kept cheering, each one filled with immense pride.
This was their Mo family's strongest Contracted Spirit!
Who dared to disagree?
Who dared to challenge?
The disciples from other prominent families could only watch the Mo family members enjoying their moment of glory with jealousy and envy.
Does having an SSR mean you can do whatever you want?!
Sorry, having an SSR does mean you can do whatever you want!
In the spectator stands.
The Jiang family disciples watched the black-clad, silver-haired man on the arena platform who faced no challengers, all wearing expressions of regret and distress.
They instinctively turned their gazes toward Jiang Li, the big unlucky one!
Xia Yuan, this SSR, could have carried their Jiang family to greatness, but now he was letting the Mo family be so smug!
Jiang Li couldn't even lift her head, her eyes bloodshot, looking completely defeated.
She stared at Xia Yuan with crimson eyes, her hands gripping her pant legs tightly, a metallic taste rising in her throat:
"Damn it!"
"Even that woman is useless, she couldn't even kill Mo Shiyu!"
The more powerful Xia Yuan's displayed combat prowess became, the more pain and regret she felt. These past few days had almost tortured her to the point of wishing for death!
On the arena platform.
Xia Yuan hadn't expected these guys to be so cowardly either. Standing alone on the platform was honestly quite boring.
He simply walked to the edge of the arena, his voice carrying a lazy mockery:
"Hey hey..."
"Everyone down there, is there really no one who can fight?!"
Xia Yuan smiled amiably, showing his bright white teeth, provocatively challenging all the Contracted Spirits in the venue:
"Defending this arena is too boring..."
"How about this, I'll draw a circle and stand still without moving. If any of you can make my feet shift even an inch, I'll count it as my loss and step down from the platform myself."
A lightbulb went off in Xia Yuan's head. He clapped his hands and said with sudden realization, "Oh, let me give you another idea. The rules don't say you can't gang up on one person, so you could all team up to knock me down first. Isn't that brilliant?"
"If even then you're still too scared to come up like turtles, then there's nothing I can do..."
"Whether to be shrinking turtles or brave warriors, the choice is yours!"
Both his expression and tone were incredibly punchable, making all the proud Contracted Spirits grit their teeth in frustration!
Mo Shiyu below the platform couldn't help but facepalm, though she also knew that if Xia Yuan could stay idle, that would be truly strange.
The Contracted Spirits ultimately couldn't endure such provocation.
They all had their pride, and one after another, they requested permission from their Spirit Tamers to go up and test just how strong this SSR really was!
Even if they would lose, they could at least stand on the platform a bit longer to improve their rankings!
It was better than being this pathetic!
For a moment, the Contracted Spirits became intensely agitated, united against a common enemy:
"Daring to look down on us, he's too despicable! Brothers, can we tolerate this?"
"I can't take it anymore! So what if he's SSR? Let's all go up together and use attrition tactics to exhaust his Spirit Tamer's spiritual energy!"
"Count me in!"
"Too arrogant! Today I shall slay a god!"
"Awooo awooo awooo awooo...!"
"Bok bok bok bok bok!"
"......"
None of the audience members had expected Xia Yuan to actively provoke them and even set rules for himself about not moving.
This utterly arrogant attitude instantly ignited the atmosphere throughout the venue!
The live streams of various media outlets exploded with activity:
"Hahaha, I was just worried it wouldn't be exciting enough, and he directly starts the show!"
"This face-rubbing mockery has instantly provoked collective anger. Is he perhaps a Contracted Spirit that practices being despicable?"
"According to various experts' studies of his combat footage, he likely has an extremely powerful defensive Barrier set up on his body. Besides that, his offensive power is also strong!"
"An SSR that's both tanky and deals high damage? That intensity is indeed high!"
"Start the battle! Start the battle!"
"......"
Five Contracted Spirits instantly swarmed onto Xia Yuan's arena platform, taking the vanguard!
Almost all were level 60-70 Contracted Spirits, ranging from D-rank to B-rank.
Their races and appearances varied greatly.
Xia Yuan jumped to the center of the arena, rubbed his chin, glanced at these five Contracted Spirits, and said in a strange tone:
"Only five Contracted Spirits? Are you looking down on me?"
The Contracted Spirit arena was built with considerable area, nearly the size of a football field, to allow the Contracted Spirits room to maneuver.
Even having ten to twenty Contracted Spirits fighting in a melee was possible.
"We are enough!"
"Today is when I make my name!"
"......"
The five Contracted Spirits had their anger meters maxed out. They arranged their formation - tanks in front, supports in back, damage dealers in the middle - and charged fiercely at Xia Yuan!
Their stance was already like they were raiding an instance boss!
"Iron Fist Sanction!"
"Rampage Beam!"
Their stance was already like they were raiding an instance boss!
"Group Strength Amplification!"
"......"
Xia Yuan planned to have some proper fun with them. He made an extremely exaggerated move, directly spreading his arms wide open to welcome their attacks.
Various skills exploded on his body!
A riot of colors!
The five Contracted Spirits fought with great enthusiasm, running around Xia Yuan, using both close combat and long-range attacks!
It looked extremely lethal!
Xia Yuan's screams came from the center:
"Ahhhh...!"
"I'm almost dead!"
"So painful, so painful, you're so strong..."
The five Contracted Spirits immediately grinned, thinking they could actually win. They instantly increased their output, extremely excited.
If they could really take down this guy in front of them, they would become famous!
But after attacking for a while, when the skill aftermath dissipated, Xia Yuan was still standing there perfectly intact, hands in his pockets.
He grinned, "Just kidding..."
Xia Yuan used his fingers as guns, aiming at them one by one, making "biubiubiu..." sounds with his mouth.
The minimum level of Technique Reversal "Red" was activated, sending out waves of repulsive force.
When this force acted on the five Contracted Spirits, it became an irresistible, massive power that directly sent them flying, scattering them in disarray!
Except for the tank who wasn't dead but only half-crippled.
The other Contracted Spirits were all killed, returning to their Spirit Tamers' Contracted Spirit spaces!
The tank Contracted Spirit was clever. Seeing Xia Yuan's "handgun" aiming at him again, he quickly raised his hands in surrender and scurried off the platform in a flash!
Dying would consume a large amount of spiritual energy to resurrect in the Contracted Spirit space...
Xia Yuan had defeated the five vanguard Contracted Spirits as if playing a game!
He blew on his fingers, slightly tilted his sunglasses to reveal sapphire-like eyes, his expression somewhat cold:
"I told you..."
"Are you looking down on me? Only sending five?"
He looked at all the waiting Contracted Spirits below and said calmly:
"Is there anyone who can actually fight? If not, just all come up together!"
The entire venue fell silent.
Not a sound could be heard!
The Contracted Spirits below the platform looked at Xia Yuan as if seeing an unbelievable monster!
At this moment, they had finally witnessed firsthand what the oppressive feeling of the ultimate SSR truly meant!
Arrogance?
Boasting?
Belittling?
Talking big?
None of that existed.
What he said... had always been the truth!
The next second.
The entire venue erupted with heated exclamations:
"Ohohohohoh.. Too... too strong!"
"Even standing there letting them hit him, they couldn't damage God Yuan at all. What kind of defensive skill is this? It's completely unstoppable!"
"That guy is a raid boss, right? Doesn't seem like a Contracted Spirit at all..."
"This is the true value of an SSR!"
"......"
