You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry?-Chapter 4: Too Late for Regrets

A universally acknowledged trash R-card had actually transformed into an SSR right before everyone's eyes!
The entire venue fell deathly silent, then erupted with tsunami-like exclamations. The shimmering golden "SSR" characters floated above Xia Yuan's head, practically scorching everyone's vision.
Jiang Li's face turned ashen as if her soul had been drained, her lips trembling as she repeatedly muttered: "Impossible... how is this possible... how could an R-card become an SSR?!"
Mo Shiyu covered her burning ears and took a step back, took a deep breath, then looked up again. The combat status panel of the person before her had already changed:
[Contracted Spirit True Name: Xia Yuan (Transformed Character: Gojo Satoru)]
[Grade: SSR]
[Level: 10]
[Race: Human (Jujutsu Sorcerer)]
[Combat Power Estimate: ????]
[Skills: Six Eyes, Limitless Technique, Cursed Technique "Blue", Technique Reversal "Red", Imaginary Technique "Purple", Reverse Cursed Technique, Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void......]
[Growth Potential: SSS+MAX!]
[Hidden Trait: Ever-changing SSR!]
[Contract Recommendation Index: Full Stars!]
[Tip: Host has contracted a spirit that's perfect in everything except personality. He is the strongest, just raise him mindlessly, he will win!!!]
It changed! It really changed!
Mo Shiyu's heart pounded wildly, almost leaping out of her chest.
She stared at the SSR before her, feeling an overwhelming sense of unreality.
She couldn't resist pinching her cheek, the pain making her grimace, finally confirming this wasn't a dream!
This time, she had truly gambled and won a miracle, picking up an incredible bargain!
"Senior Xia Yuan!"
She suddenly remembered something, blushing as she retorted, "I'm not fat at all."
Soon, the entire area was packed tight with teachers and students who had rushed over.
Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of what the legendary SSR actually looked like!
And Xia Yuan certainly didn't disappoint them. Whether it was his appearance or that mysterious and powerful aura, everything about him left them utterly shocked.
Moreover, he possessed a charm completely unmatched by any other contracted spirit character!
Instantly, the expressions and gazes of the crowd below reversed completely without exception, all looking at Mo Shiyu with envy and jealousy!
Especially those freshmen who knew the whole process.
They were now green with regret!
Who could have imagined that everything this R-card said earlier was true? He was genuinely the ultimate hidden character in the card pool, transforming into SSR after contracting, truly capable of carrying them to victory!
Clearly, Mo Shiyu was the last to arrive, yet this heaven-sent opportunity somehow fell into her lap!
Of course, the most regretful among them was undoubtedly Jiang Li.
She had become the center of everyone's mockery, the ace among clowns.
After all, this was a card pool character she herself had drawn, and it was she who voluntarily gave up the contract, allowing Mo Shiyu to pick up the bargain!
Jiang Li's nails dug deep into her palms, completely unaware of the pain, staring dumbfounded at the figure on the stage like an idiot, constantly shaking her head in denial:
"Impossible..."
"How could this be?!"
"How could an R-card turn into an SSR!"
"I must be seeing things, there must be some mistake..."
She was having difficulty accepting reality.
No one could have imagined that the sloppy, otaku-looking youth from before could transform into this mysterious and handsome 190cm tall man in black clothes!
Overwhelming regret nearly crushed Jiang Li!
She ground her teeth so hard they almost shattered, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her eyes bloodshot as she screamed wildly:
"He's mine!"
"He belongs to me!"
"He's the card pool character I drew, he's my SSR!"
"Mo Shiyu, give him back to me, break the contract with him now!"
The entire venue erupted in an uproar.
Everyone was shocked by her shameless clown-like behavior.
Xia Yuan let out a contemptuous laugh, his eyes filled with coldness.
This woman publicly discarded him like worthless trash, even wanted to watch him vanish into nothingness, and now she had the nerve to say this?
How utterly ridiculous!
Mo Shiyu snapped back to reality, suppressing her ecstatic emotions, gazing coldly at the woman below the stage:
"Jiang Li, everyone here witnessed you abandoning Senior Xia Yuan."
"According to our nation's Spirit Tamer laws, once a contracted spirit is abandoned, ownership no longer belongs to the original summoner, but to the next willing contractor."
She spoke with logic and evidence:
"As a Spirit Tamer, you drew a contracted spirit but didn't know how to cherish and respect it, even maliciously wanted to watch him dissipate!"
"Do you think I would return him to you?"
"You simply don't deserve to possess Senior Xia Yuan!"
Xia Yuan looked at the girl beside him with considerable satisfaction, teasing, "Didn't expect Fatty Yu to be quite eloquent."
Hearing this address, Mo Shiyu felt somewhat frantic, immediately puffing her cheeks as she retorted, "Senior Xia Yuan, I'm not fat, could you please stop calling me Fatty Yu?"
She admitted her face was a little bit chubby, but only a little bit.
Certain areas were indeed more magnificent than others.
But her figure was still very slender!
Xia Yuan: "Okay Fatty Yu, no problem, Fatty Yu."
Mo Shiyu finally understood what the combat panel meant by "perfect in everything except personality"...
This guy completely ignores what others say!
Jiang Li watched the SSR she had drawn flirt and banter with another woman, feeling so angry she wanted to vomit blood!
Her eyes reddened, and she actually started crying on the spot.
Weeping pitifully while humbly begging Xia Yuan:
"Xi... Xia Yuan-sama!"
"I was wrong earlier, I failed to recognize your greatness, I only acted that way because I was mentally broken!"
She stared at Xia Yuan with a pitiful expression, having completely abandoned her dignity, "Please forgive me, give me another chance, I'll definitely treat you like an ancestor and raise you with utmost care!"
"As long as you change your mind, forgive me, and form a new contract with me, I'll do anything!"
The surrounding crowd looked at Jiang Li, who had been so arrogant before, now in such a humble state, casting strange glances her way.
They had truly witnessed her thick-skinned behavior...
Clearly, she was the one who abandoned him first, what's the use of crying now?
Xia Yuan couldn't even be bothered to speak with her, casually pointing at the increasingly large crowd, saying somewhat headache-inducingly to Mo Shiyu:
"Fatty Yu, there are more and more people, it's getting noisy."
"Shall we leave? Besides, I just arrived in this world and have a belly full of questions I want to ask."
Mo Shiyu had already given up struggling with the "Fatty Yu" address, sighed, and nodded.
She didn't want to stay any longer either.
After all, she had indeed picked up a huge bargain. Being too conspicuous wasn't good, as it would inevitably attract certain ill-intentioned people.
When a Spirit Tamer first signs a contract with a new spirit, if the tamer dies within the first half-year...
Then their contracted spirit returns to an unowned state and can be contracted again...
Mo Shiyu didn't dare to be careless just because she belonged to the Mo family and had a decent background.
Some people might inevitably take desperate risks.
Especially for an SSR—it absolutely had value worth risking lives for!
Seeing herself completely ignored by the two, Jiang Li trembled with rage!
She knew Xia Yuan wouldn't treat her well, so she directed all her resentment toward Mo Shiyu:
"Mo Shiyu!"
"You can't leave!"
"This SSR was drawn by me, Jiang Li! You must return it to me, or my Jiang family will make you pay!"
Jiang Li had become somewhat deranged, shouting while rushing onto the stage, reaching out to grab Mo Shiyu.
But before she could even touch Mo Shiyu, she was instantly repelled, heavily crashing down off the stage.
Struggling to get up, utterly disheveled, Jiang Li looked up in disbelief.
She saw the silver-haired man gazing down at her with profound eyes from his elevated position, a dangerous curve forming at the corner of his mouth:
"Fatty Yu is my master now. If you dare lay hands on her again next time, I won't hold back."
"And those peeping in the shadows..."
Xia Yuan put his hands in his pockets, looking around, "I don't know what you plan to do, but if any of you dare harm Fatty Yu, you can try... I'll kill you first."
He wore a smiling expression, his tone carrying an invincible arrogance, "After all... the aura you're emitting is quite weak."
Xia Yuan's words were spoken with casual ease, as if joking, yet they radiated a heart-palpitating, powerful pressure that intimidated the entire venue!
Jiang Li had never encountered such imposing presence before, so terrified that she was completely silenced, crouching on the ground trembling, not daring to cause any more trouble.
After these words, those Spirit Tamers and spirits originally hiding in the shadows, itching to make a move against Mo Shiyu, instantly became much more subdued.
The contracted spirit before them was a legendary SSR, already at level 10 from the start.
And no one knew what kind of heaven-defying skills and ability mechanics he possessed.
Even though he was freshly drawn, not yet cultivated, and only at level 10, he still couldn't be underestimated!
Because regarding contracted spirit strength, one saying had always circulated in this world:
Below SR, all are ants!
Let alone an SSR at the very peak of the contracted spirit hierarchy!
