Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

Hearing this, the faces of all the players in the camp revealed expressions of astonishment.

They opened the Ranking List at first opportunity, and when they saw the first place on the Growth Rank Spiritual Beast List change from Luo to Yue Li, their jaws dropped at the Water Leaf Dog that vanished without a trace.

"Luo's other spiritual beast is in 3rd place!" Meng Yu shouted, feeling a slight relief in her heart.

This meant that Luo was still in Area 3675, he hadn't switched zones, nor had the worst happened: death.

"Could it be that he encountered danger and Luo's Water Leaf Dog was killed?" one player ventured, worry evident on their face.

Everyone was from Yanhuang Country, and with Luo ranking high in Area 3675, they all stood to gain some invisible advantages, so very few harbored dark thoughts and wished for his misfortune.

"You guys, don't just stare at one list." Sun Sihai suddenly laughed, "Take a look at the Extraordinary List first!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone quickly switched lists.

The throne of the number 1 on Extraordinary List had shifted from Yue Li to Luo.

[Extraordinary List No.1]

[Area: 3675]

[Player Name: Luo]

[Extraordinary Value: 5280]

Wait...

5280??

This value had surpassed the sum total of the Race Values of two Growth Rank Lv20 spiritual beasts, something that was impossible even if the Affinity of both contracted spiritual beasts was at 100%?!

The quick-thinkers realized something was up and immediately switched back to the Spiritual Beast List and transitioned from Growth Rank to Elite Rank.

They finally saw the missing name.

[Spiritual Beast List (Elite Rank) No.1]

[Area: 3675]

[Player Name: Luo]

[Listed Spiritual Beast: Xuan Cang Dog]

[Current Rank of Listed Beast: Elite Rank Lv20]

[Reference Achievement: None]

After a brief silence, the entire camp erupted in uproar at the sole name on the vast list.

Elite Rank!

Just earlier that day, the Special Affairs Group had announced new intelligence regarding the advancement from Growth Rank, that among the required four pieces of Intermediate Resources, one had to be a Rare Resource!

Unattainable via selection or random acquisition, and with a self-concealing nature that caused its location to shift randomly...

Even hearing about it was enough to reveal the level of difficulty involved.

This left those who had already made a Breakthrough from Growth Rank and were trying to advance further feeling despondent, and it made the path seem riddled with thorns for those still at Apprentice Level.

Who would have thought that in such a dark hour, Luo's Contracted Spiritual Beast had successfully advanced!

"Could this be the world's first Elite Rank Contracted Spiritual Beast?" one player murmured, and his words were heard by everyone, plunging the camp into silence once more.

"Perhaps," Sun Sihai was the first to snap out of it, his expression complicated, "I both hope it is and it isn't."

As a Yanhuang Country player, Luo achieving this world-first accomplishment was a point of pride for every Yanhuang player.

But, it also meant that he would become a target for everyone.

For Luo, this might not be good news.

In another place in Area 3675, KA held his head in his hands, his expression fierce.

"Damn it! That detestable Luo!"

During this period, he had been working hard with his Contracted Spiritual Beast to earn sufficiently good achievements in the Growth Rank, successfully rising from the 32nd place to the 14th.

Just a moment ago, he had secured another new achievement, and with his previous achievements, he hoped to break into the top ten of the Spiritual Beast List.

However, when he triumphantly opened the Spiritual Beast List, his joy dissipated.

Good news, his Spiritual Beast List ranking had just reached 10th at the Growth Rank.

Bad news, Luo had given up that ranking.

Seeing Luo's name alone at the very top of the Elite Rank Spiritual Beast List, KA's face flushed red, filled with disbelief.

Why?

Why did this guy advance so fast?!

He took a few deep breaths, then collapsed weakly onto the grass, the flush fading from his face, his expression gradually adopting a more Zen-like attitude.

After being struck down by Luo several times, he had come to terms with it.

Enough! Truly enough!

Regarding the commotion the ranking might cause, Qin Chuan had anticipated it before making his breakthrough.

At Growth Rank, the acquisition of low-level resources was not difficult, and his rate of advancement was not as fast as that of players who spent heavily or were part of various organizations, so naturally, he did not attract attention.

At Elite Rank and the subsequent Ranks, even the heavy spenders and collective efforts would encounter problems that were difficult to solve, and the power of the Compass Talent would begin to reveal just the tip of the iceberg.

He would also move from being a nobody to gradually placing himself at the center of the Transcendent maelstrom.

But this was inevitable.

The current advantage of Compass Talent was development, and he had to grow faster than other players in order to overcome those talents that could boost their own strength.

An increase in strength could not be hidden on the ranking list.

Qin Chuan could have chosen to underplay his achievements, but that was not what he wanted.

If he couldn't hide, he would face the incoming challenges.

He had already prepared to deal with players from all walks of life while paying close attention to every player with a golden talent.

What concerned him more at the moment were the various changes after Water Flower's breakthrough.

The clan had changed from Water Leaf Dog to Xuan Cang Dog, which certainly fit the meaning of evolution.

The change in clan brought not only a more powerful Race Value and a brand new skill but also changes in Spiritual Beast Traits and the existing skills.

Water Flower's Spiritual Beast Trait had changed from Grass and Wood Recognition to Water Domain Vision.

[Water Domain Vision: Within the gaze, all traces of water are discerned.]

This statement was somewhat abstract, and even after looking at the trait description, it took Qin Chuan some time communicating with Water Flower to fully understand its meaning.

It was an enhanced version of Water Vision.

Water Vision itself was not a skill, but rather a sensation of seeing water flows, generated by combining the Water Master's water perception with what was in the field of view.

Because it was based on perception, its range was limited, much lower than visual range.

Water Domain Vision, however, was effective within the visible range and provided clearer effects.

As a trait, Qin Chuan was quite satisfied.

After all, the original Grass and Wood Recognition had become less useful as Qin Chuan became familiar with the plants of Dream World and the Special Affairs Group shared continuous updates.

Having confirmed the changes in traits, Qin Chuan then looked at the skills whose names had changed.

[Star·Water Master: Passive Skill, allows the Spiritual Beast to breathe underwater and condense, control water, significantly reducing the power consumption of producing water from thin air.]

[Star·Dark Current Binding: Active Skill, hides strong forces within the water, creating binding or other control effects, strength increasing with the amount of water, up to a limit of 200%.]

[Star·Rapid Stream Break: Active Skill, releases a powerful jet of water to cause damage to opponents, penetration increasing with the amount of water, up to a limit of 200%.]

[Star·Water Walking: Active Skill, greatly increases speed when there is a water flow beneath the feet, allowing walking on water, speed increasing with the amount of water, up to a limit of 200%.]

[Star·Sky-Rolling Waterfall: Active Skill, instantly forms a waterfall from the sky to sweep over and strangle targets within range, power increasing with the amount of water, up to a limit of 200%.]

Having looked through each skill, Qin Chuan's lips could not help but curl into an uncontrollable smile.

He hadn't expected that the existing skills would receive such astonishing enhancements after the evolution.
