You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry?-Chapter 40: Stubborn as ever, can stop me?

Mo Shiyu was slightly surprised.
This was the first time someone had managed to hit Xia Yuan through his Limitless Technique.
She frowned delicately as she analyzed the situation.
If the little boy's superpower was just an invisible force, logically it shouldn't be able to cross the infinite distance either.
It probably wasn't that simple...
This seemingly invisible superpower was likely a miraculous force that acted directly on the target.
That's why it bypassed Xia Yuan's Limitless.
Seeing that the god of slaughter Xia Yuan had finally been hit, the audience erupted with exclamations:
"Holy shit, he finally got hit!"
"The big demon king actually took a blow, that's too rare!"
"As expected of an SR, breaking through God Yuan's strange defense!"
"......"
The Contracted Spirits below the stage felt even more vindicated, eagerly anticipating Xia Yuan continuing to suffer setbacks, or even being defeated by Han Guang's Contracted Spirit team!
Xia Yuan grinned, "My turn now."
His figure abruptly vanished from his original position.
The little boy's pupils contracted - in the blink of an eye, Xia Yuan had already appeared before him, striking with a palm that seemed to suck toward his stomach!
He seemed to have anticipated Xia Yuan's move, raising both hands as his superpower activated again, applying an invisible repelling force to himself.
Buzz!
Xia Yuan's hand stopped mid-air, their powers clashing invisibly in the space between them, creating turbulent air currents.
The little boy sneered coldly:
"I've watched your videos, I know you use moves like this to get close!"
After repelling Xia Yuan, he shouted again, manipulating Xia Yuan and slamming him toward the ground.
However, due to the Limitless Technique, the ground couldn't harm Xia Yuan at all. His falling motion came to an abrupt halt, as if all kinetic energy had instantly vanished without a trace.
"Technique Forward Rotation."
"Cang!"
Maintaining his suspended posture, Xia Yuan activated his cursed technique.
A blue gravitational sphere shot toward the little boy.
The little boy pushed with both hands, his superpower activating again as he attempted to block the blue gravitational sphere, but the powerful force made his arms tremble.
Knowing he couldn't withstand it head-on, he gritted his teeth and flipped both hands upward, using minimal force to redirect Cang's trajectory toward the sky!
"Not effective!"
The little boy cursed under his breath. After dealing with Cang, he looked back toward Xia Yuan, only to find he was no longer in his original position.
His eyes darted around rapidly, but Xia Yuan's figure was completely absent from his field of vision.
The little boy spun around abruptly, activating his power preemptively, "Behind!"
His superpower crashed against the empty air behind him, still with no sign of Xia Yuan.
Just as he stood bewildered and confused, Xia Yuan hovered above his head, already having assumed a "handgun" posture, firing off a shot of He!
The female Contracted Spirit he called Shadow Sister urgently shouted to warn him:
"BOY! Above!"
But it was already too late for him to react.
Xia Yuan's calm voice sounded:
"Technique Reverse Rotation."
"He!"
The little boy's hair stood on end as he assumed a defensive stance with his superpower at the fastest possible speed.
But the red He was already almost touching the top of his head.
Boom!
A powerful repulsive force erupted, red light blooming above the little boy's head like Mount Tai crushing down!
The high-quality alloy floor beneath his feet was pressed down into a large depression, with him curled up inside it.
Xia Yuan landed leisurely, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Oh ho, not bad, you withstood it."
Although he had only used less than thirty percent of his power, being able to withstand it at such close range was still impressive.
Inside the depression, the little boy struggled to stand up. The doll-like dress he wore was already torn in many places.
Covered in blood stains, he looked utterly disheveled.
The intense battle between the two had the audience boiling with excitement, thrilled beyond measure:
"Ooooh, so satisfying, this ticket price is totally worth it!"
"This is what real powerful Contracted Spirit battles look like, it's insane!"
"I remember the arena material is supposed to be the hardest, and it got dented just like that?!"
"God Yuan looks like he's still playing around, not even using his full power, while Superpowered Boy seems to be struggling already. As expected, he's just not up to it!"
"But being able to withstand that ridiculous attack is already quite impressive!"
"......"
Han Guang frowned deeply. He could already tell that Xia Yuan wasn't serious at all, while his own side's damage dealer was barely holding on.
If the damage dealer died, winning would be impossible.
So he shouted toward the arena:
"Boy, no more being willful! Give up on fighting alone - you're strongest when you work together!"
The little boy glared at Xia Yuan with gritted teeth. In his heart, he also knew that if he continued fighting alone, he would lose!
Though unwilling, for the sake of the bigger picture, he finally gave in...
Xia Yuan seized this opportunity to start taunting:
"What's wrong? Can't handle it already? Who was it that said they would solo kill me just now..."
"Your daddy says one word and you just obey?"
"Too bad I was just warming up."
"But as a warm-up opponent, you barely pass..."
The little boy froze in place, veins bulging on his forehead, immediately turning around intending to continue fighting.
But he was stopped by Shadow Sister behind him, so he could only retort angrily:
"What do you know! If it weren't for this arena limiting my performance, I guarantee I'd beat you until you're crying for your parents!"
"You only hit me because you used underhanded tricks! Have the guts to face me in a proper duel!"
Xia Yuan looked at the hysterical little boy and shook his head:
"Alright, alright."
"I get it, you win."
"Whatever you do, don't cry, you little guy whose mouth is the hardest thing about you. If you had used your mouth to block my skill just now, you might have actually blocked it!"
The little boy was driven to madness, his face turning red with rage.
The entire audience didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Xia Yuan's mouth seemed dipped in poison - if you licked it, you'd probably die from poisoning...
It was hard to believe someone with such a rotten personality could be a super powerful SSR!
Holy Light Knight propped her chin, looking exasperated, "Is Xia Yuan a little kid too? Still trash-talking with the opponent, so boring..."
Mo Cheng glanced at her, thinking, aren't you a little loli yourself...
Holy Light Knight suddenly said seriously, "Old man, who do you think would win if I fought Xia Yuan?"
Mo Cheng thought for a moment, "If you had a way to break through his peculiar defense, it would be fifty-fifty."
Holy Light Knight laughed, "I would win."
......
The scorching sun hung high in the sky.
It was exactly 12 noon - the selection competition was already halfway through.
After Han Guang's Contracted Spirit team challenged Xia Yuan, the other Contracted Spirits finally dared to seize the opportunity to ascend the stages, and the ten arenas became lively again.
But almost everyone's attention remained focused on the battle of the strongest.
Who would be the number one seed of Chuanbei Spirit Tamer Academy - the answer was about to be revealed!
"Xia Yuan!"
The little boy continued arrogantly:
"If my combat power is one, then when the three of us fight together, our combat power becomes six!"
"This time, you will definitely lose!"
The woman in black tight-fitting clothes smiled sweetly at Xia Yuan, giving a charming smile, "We're even wearing matching outfits, both in black. I hope you'll go easy on me, handsome!"
Xia Yuan picked at his ear with a finger, glancing at the Contracted Spirits who had started battling wildly again on the surrounding arenas, "Alright, enough playing with you all. My time is precious - I still need to continue sweeping through the arenas."
He took off his sunglasses and casually tossed them into Mo Shiyu's hands. His blue eyes looked somewhat excitedly at the three people opposite him, the corners of his mouth lifting:
"If my combat power is one, then when I was fighting you just now, it was only 0.3!"
Instantly, his handsome, striking full appearance caused a wave of screams from the female audience!
The oppressive feeling Xia Yuan gave off with sunglasses on versus without them was completely different.
"Boy, no more willfulness! Give up on fighting alone - you're strongest when you work together!"
Mo Shiyu checked her spiritual energy - half remained, which was more than enough.
Moreover, the Time's End Inscription set on Xia Yuan could still activate once more, providing him with nearly half his spiritual energy!
The corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted as well.
The number one seed of Chuanbei Spirit Tamer Academy - she was determined to claim it!
