You Ditched an R-Rank, Now That I’m an SSR, You Wanna Cry?-Chapter 9: Virtual Form

Xia Yuan's leisurely attitude and taunts instantly ignited the Scythe of Calamity's fury.
It frantically accelerated the speed of its scythe swings!
Boom!
Boom...!
The wind pressure from the slashes whipped up a violent gale!
The surrounding walls were all sliced with countless cracks by its attacks, showing the immense power behind them.
Yet they couldn't even scratch Xia Yuan's defenses.
It let out a sharp shriek, realizing the scythe couldn't kill the person before it, and decisively changed its attack method.
The cloak on the Scythe of Calamity suddenly collapsed into a starry vortex-like black hole!
Dozens of dark energy streams burst forth, crashing toward Xia Yuan!
Boom boom boom...!
The terrifying energy hadn't even touched the hem of Xia Yuan's clothes before it encountered an absolutely smooth dimensional barrier, beautifully diverting and dispersing!
Mo Shiyu, hiding behind him, said excitedly, "As expected, even such long-range attacks can't penetrate the Limitless Technique!"
The assault continued for a long time, yet Xia Yuan stood there, completely unscathed.
The Scythe of Calamity only stopped when it was completely exhausted, reduced to roaring impotently at Xia Yuan!
"Throwing a tantrum now?"
"I stood here letting you hit me, gave you the chance, but you just couldn't make it work!"
Xia Yuan seized the opportunity, raised one hand, extended a finger toward it, and said slowly:
"Since you're a boss, using Cang would seem rather impolite..."
The next moment, a small black hole sphere emitting red light condensed before his fingertip, radiating heart-palpitating terrifying power!
Though somewhat frightened, Mo Shiyu forced her eyes wide open, not wanting to miss her SSR's skill, "What skill is this?"
Xia Yuan's calm voice sounded:
"Technique Reverse Rotation..."
"He!"
As his words fell.
A red flash shot toward the boss Scythe of Calamity in the blink of an eye.
It had no time to react before the red light suddenly pierced through its body!
A powerful repulsive force shattered its form, and the terrifying aftermath of "He" even shattered the wall behind it, threatening to collapse the entire boss room!
Rumble!
Rubble continuously fell from the ceiling, and Mo Shiyu was so scared she scurried around covering her head, while the Black Cat Spirit on her shoulder trembled violently.
Fortunately, Xia Yuan lifted her up with one hand again, shielding her from the aftermath, "Alright alright, stop running around like a frightened mouse."
【Contracted Spirit Xia Yuan, Level Up: Lv.12 → Lv.15】
【Contracted Spirit Black Cat Spirit, Level Up: Lv.20→ Lv.30】
Xia Yuan could clearly feel that more of his power had been unlocked, and the system reward progress bar was...3%!
Mo Shiyu was stuck to Xia Yuan's hand like a little shrimp, still in shock.
Wait...
That powerful level 50 red-name boss was instantly killed just like that?!
"That wasn't Cursed Technique Cang, was it? What skill is that? It seems much more powerful than Cang!"
Xia Yuan began explaining his cursed techniques again:
"Infinity actually exists everywhere, I'm just using cursed techniques to bring it into reality."
"Convergence and divergence correspond to gravitational force and repulsive force."
"Technique Forward Rotation, Cang, is gravitational force."
"And Technique Reverse Rotation, He, is repulsive force."
He glanced down at Mo Shiyu, "By the way, I'm currently using Cang's gravitational force to hold onto your waist."
Xia Yuan casually pinched her slender waist—the feel wasn't bad—but couldn't resist his usual teasing, "The pork has good elasticity."
Mo Shiyu was both angry and embarrassed, "You're the pig!"
The two-star instance solo clear was complete, and reward calculation began.
Mo Shiyu obtained precious 1300 Spirit Stones, plus many rare materials dropped by the red-name boss!
【Obtained Death Scythe】
【Obtained Dark Core】
【Obtained Red-name Crystal...】
Mo Shiyu happily stored all the materials in her spatial storage—this haul was massive!
The items dropped by red-name bosses were truly rare treasures.
They were essential breakthrough materials for Contracted Spirit upgrades!
If sold on the official Spirit Tamer website, they could fetch high prices in Spirit Stones too!
Every 30 levels, Contracted Spirits need to break through before they can continue leveling up.
The further you progress, the more valuable and difficult to obtain the required breakthrough materials become.
After clearing this instance, Mo Shiyu's spiritual energy was reduced to a pitiful one-third remaining...
She had originally thought about running the instance again, but now could only return first.
After successfully completing the instance, Xia Yuan and Mo Shiyu were teleported back to the academy's instance entrance starting point.
The moment they returned, they caused an uproar!
"They're back!"
"Looks like they solo cleared it successfully?!"
"Holy crap, is this the power of an SSR? Clearing a two-star instance on their first try!"
"Went in at level 10, came out at only level 15? Only gained 5 levels?"
"SSRs really are harder to level up, but this is just too insane—a level 10 beating a level 40 instance boss while underleveled?"
"......"
Everyone was discussing excitedly, extremely shocked.
Mo Shiyu also felt this trip was somewhat dreamlike. If these people knew they had actually cleared a level 50 red-name boss, they'd probably be even more dumbfounded...
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, a whooshing sound suddenly came from above!
A giant axe descended from the sky, directly targeting Mo Shiyu's head!
"Meow!!!"
The Black Cat Spirit standing on her shoulder instantly bristled, sensing danger.
Xia Yuan abruptly raised his hand, barely blocking the giant axe at the last moment, with the Limitless Technique already deployed in advance.
Boom!
He tore off his eyepatch, his azure blue pupils filled with killing intent:
"In front of me..."
"Touching my master?"
The attacker's figure gradually materialized—a muscular female warrior in leopard print, wielding a giant axe.
She actually had invisibility ability and had been ambushing here, waiting to assassinate Mo Shiyu!
The female warrior, failing her first strike, retreated to create distance, her rough voice ringing out:
"Aiya~ SSR guy's reflexes are just unfair!"
Her gaze swept over Mo Shiyu's pale face, her smile suddenly turning ferocious, "Let big sister chop up this little girl... it'll be better for everyone!"
The assassin's rank was hidden above her head, but her level wasn't—a level 70 Contracted Spirit!
The entire area descended into chaos.
The student Spirit Tamers and Contracted Spirits watching the spectacle scattered, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
Mo Shiyu stood frozen in place, staggering a few steps, her legs feeling weak.
Remembering that axe strike made her heart pound with fear.
Almost...
She almost died!
If Xia Yuan hadn't reacted quickly enough, she would already be a headless corpse.
She had underestimated Spirit Tamers' obsession with SSRs.
This was Sichuan University Spirit Tamer Academy, yet the other party dared to attempt assassination so openly!
Xia Yuan used his Six Eyes to carefully scan the area, but couldn't immediately identify the opponent's Spirit Tamer from among the distant crowd of students.
Since the opponent came for him, this SSR, they would definitely be hiding nearby, ready to contract him the moment Mo Shiyu died.
"Fatty Yu, in this situation, if I kill her, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"
This was the first time Mo Shiyu had seen Xia Yuan with such a serious expression, and warmth rose in her heart.
To be honest, she was really angry too!
Mo Shiyu's face shed its timidity as she stood up, her gaze sharp as she scanned the surroundings.
She asked the female warrior Contracted Spirit, "I'll ask just once—who is your Spirit Tamer? Or who sent you? Daring to attack me, do you know who I am?"
The female warrior hoisted her giant axe onto her shoulder and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, little girl, do you think I'd tell you?"
She glanced toward the academy center, frowning slightly:
"Time's running short. If those annoying guys show up, it'll be hard to kill you!"
"SSR handsome, I suggest you step back. I don't want to kill you—my mission is only to kill the woman beside you!"
Mo Shiyu's pretty face was covered in frost as she coldly stated:
"Xia Yuan, kill her."
"Seems we won't get the mastermind's name from her."
The muscular female warrior lifted her giant axe, sneering continuously, "Little girl, are you saying a level 15 SSR can kill me, a B-rank level 70 Contracted Spirit? That's some big talk!"
Hearing the opponent was B-rank, Mo Shiyu froze momentarily.
The other party really went all out, actually using a B-rank Contracted Spirit for assassination!
"Xia Yuan..."
She wanted to say something, but Xia Yuan cut her off first, coldly smirking as he assumed a stance:
"This time, I might have to be a bit rough."
"Since you're a rich girl, you should be able to afford compensating for some damage to the academy grounds..."
