Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 155: Yue Li’s Third Spiritual Beast (April Bonus for 2550 Monthly Tickets)
"Luo, is this considered as forcing a deal?" Sitting on Xiao Qing's back and watching the scenery fly by in reverse, Yue Li felt a bit embarrassed, "We contracted the Spiritual Beast that someone else had their eyes on, and then compensated with resources."
"I always feel a bit uneasy about this."
"You've got two things wrong," Qin Chuan turned his head to glance at Yue Li, speaking gently. "First off, the mighty young hero doesn't have the strength to defeat the Thunder Crystal Spirit, so the Thunder Crystal Spirit was never his. If it wasn't his to begin with, where is the question of selling?"
"Then why did you specifically take out an Intermediate Resource for me, telling me if I choose to contract a Spiritual Beast, to hand it over to him?" Yue Li blinked.
According to Qin Chuan's logic, it didn't seem necessary to do so.
She was baffled again.
"That's the second thing you've misunderstood," Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly. "I never said that the Intermediate Resource was compensation for him."
"In fact, I don't think there's any need to compensate the other party in this matter." His eyes slightly lowered, "Though it's a case of first-come, first-serve, if the one who arrives first can't grasp the opportunity, it's only natural for someone who comes later to take that opportunity."
"As to why I would take out an Intermediate Resource..." Qin Chuan smiled but didn't continue.
That Intermediate Resource wasn't for the mighty young hero; it was for Yue Li.
Through their interactions, Qin Chuan understood Yue Li's character very well. She seemed to have been well protected due to her affluent background, so quite often her thoughts were naive and whimsical.
Compared to him, who had experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships, she appeared more like what someone her age should be.
Therefore, Qin Chuan knew very well that Yue Li would feel somewhat guilty over something that was not wrong at all.
Giving the Intermediate Resource to the mighty young hero would greatly alleviate Yue Li's guilt.
And that was enough.
An Intermediate Resource, just a tool to make a young girl happy.
Of course, he definitely wouldn't tell Yue Li this directly.
The two traveled in silence, Yue Li's face reflecting contemplation.
She thought about what Qin Chuan hadn't finished saying and also reflected on her own thoughts.
Suddenly, considering a particular possibility, she couldn't help but turn to look at Qin Chuan, her cheeks flushing with twin blooms of red.
Seeing the curve of Qin Chuan's lips, she quickly realized something and turned her gaze away swiftly, muttering under her breath only loud enough for herself to hear.
"This guy..."
Her words carried a hint of complaint, yet her heart felt inexplicably joyous.
"Boom!"
Along with a deep rumble of thunder, the Thunder Crystal Spirit tied upon Xiao Qing's back slowly came to, turning its head to look around, sensing its contracted state and its current strength, it wore a confused expression.
What happened?
The memory was fuzzy, but it seemed to have been thrashed soundly.
And then, it had gone from Juvenile Stage Lv10 to Growth Rank Lv20?
Not only that, but it had also been contracted?
"Ah! You're awake!" Yue Li's attention quickly shifted to the other party, a smile appearing on her face, "I saw you were just one Low-level Resource short of advancing, so I topped you up, and then leveled you up."
"From now on, we're partners!"
Upon hearing this, the Thunder Crystal Spirit's gaze turned to Yue Li, then sequentially looked at Xiao Qing, Xiao Hong, Water Flower, and the Ice Cream, and finally glanced at Silver Horn, who was the weakest beside Qin Chuan.
"Boom!"
I only submit to the strong!
"Xiao Qing, Water Flower, hold up!" Yue Li spoke without hesitation, "Let's teach our new partner a lesson first!"
A few minutes later, after being thrashed four times in succession, and then finding that Silver Horn of the same rank could match it blow for blow, the Thunder Crystal Spirit quickly became submissive.

And Yue Li clearly saw the Thunder Crystal Spirit's Affinity rise from 43% all the way to 82% after five battles.
It's hard to judge.
Knowing the changes in the Thunder Crystal Spirit's affinity, even Qin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle as he glanced at the other, "Anyways, the Thunder Crystal Spirit's skills are very strong, I've picked up a treasure."
Despite constantly taking hits, the ability to fight on par with Silver Horn, who boasts high mitigation and true damage, is more than enough to showcase the Thunder Crystal Spirit's strength.
"Indeed," Yue Li laughed, nodding, and looked toward the Thunder Crystal Spirit's panel.
[Spiritual Beast Species: Thunder Crystal Spirit]
[Spiritual Beast Attribute: Thunder]
[Spiritual Beast Level: Growth Rank Lv20][Advance][Evolution]
[Spiritual Beast Traits: Energy Body]
[Spiritual Beast Species Value: 2000]
[Spiritual Beast Affinity: 82%]
[Spiritual Beast Skills: Discharge (Passive), Instant Thunder Flash (Active), Thunder Bombardment (Active), Thunderclap (Active)]
[Spiritual Beast Introduction: The Thunder Attribute Spiritual Beast, Thunder Crystal Spirit, has a temperament like its attribute, impetuous, desiring stronger battles and admiring opponents stronger than itself.]
Upon opening the details, the specifics of the traits and skills emerged one by one.
[Energy Body: Closer to stray energy, recovery after disengaging in battle is increased by 100%.]
[Discharge: Passive Skill, targets hit by its own attacks will take additional continuous electric current damage.]
[Instant Thunder Flash: Active Skill, body briefly turns into thunder and lightning to reach a specified location at high speed; the farther the distance, the greater the energy consumption.]
[Thunder Bombardment: Active Skill, infuses fists with massive thunder and lightning energy to deliver a devastating punch, causing splash damage.]
[Thunderclap: Active Skill, summons a bolt of lightning to strike a designated location, dealing single-target damage and adding a "Paralysis" effect]
[Paralysis: The target's spellcasting wind-up is lengthened, and speed is reduced, lasting 2 seconds.]
Recovery, additional damage, speed, melee, ranged, control—it's quite rare to have such comprehensive skill effects even in the Growth Rank.
Having fully tamed the Thunder Crystal Spirit, Yue Li also gave it a name: Xiao Zi, sticking to her usual casual naming style.
As the two chatted and laughed, Xiao Zi also began to actively interact with and get used to the other companions, slowly becoming familiar with them.
Time passed by the minute, and soon it was time for the weekly settlement.
Following the previous plan, Qin Chuan and Yue Li controlled their pace and arrived early at the boundary between Sector 2969 and Sector 2968.
After applying a blessing effect to Qin Chuan, Yue Li turned around to cross the great sector barrier, settling in separate sectors with Qin Chuan.
[Ranking List Weekly Settlement Begins]
[Congratulations Players...]
As line after line of text appeared in front of him, Qin Chuan turned his head to look at the other side of the great sector barrier, seemingly touched by a feeling, Yue Li on the other side also looked over and then smiled, stretching out a hand to make a "Yay" gesture towards Qin Chuan.
Clearly, their plan was a success.
Settling in separate sectors allowed both parties to gain more resource rewards.
Focusing his mind, Qin Chuan began to look over his gains.
The previous weekly settlement brought 10 Advanced Resource Fragments, and this time Water Flower and Ice Cream obtained 18 together, which added up to a piece of self-selected Advanced Resources.
However, Qin Chuan hadn't decided who to use it on and after combining it, he just threw it into the Item Equipment Bar.
Although Silver Horn was only contracted not long ago, yesterday while treasure hunting Qin Chuan incidentally brushed up Silver Horn's battle performance, and now it had smoothly entered the top ten, earning a piece of Random Intermediate Resources.
First on the Extraordinary List, self-selected Starshine Equipment Materials.
Discounted Achievement Store, Experience Gem, self-selected Intermediate Resources, random Intermediate Resources, random Starlight Equipment Material x2, premium Equipment Forging Stone.
After one round, Silver Horn was very close to reaching the Elite Rank.
