Chapter 56: Can You Handle a Husband with So Many Skins? |
Xia Yuan ended the match using only the initial release ability of his Zanpakuto Senbonzakura.
With a single thought, the pink cherry blossoms dancing across the sky flew back into his hand, coalescing into the blade of his Zanpakuto!
Not to mention "No Cilantro Please," even his master Mo Shiyu looked utterly shocked.
She had originally thought Xia Yuan's Zanpakuto Senbonzakura ability had backfired, but she never expected it to look so incredibly cool when activated!
It was downright jaw-droppingly handsome!
At this moment, they both understood.
Those seemingly breathtakingly beautiful pink cherry blossoms were actually equivalent to countless sword energies that could attack the opponent from any direction, making them practically impossible to defend against!
"No Cilantro Please" snapped back to reality and looked at Mo Shiyu with envy, jealousy, and hatred, gritting her teeth as she asked:
"Knife in Rainy Night, what rank is your Contracted Spirit actually?!"
The bunny police officer grew anxious, "SR? It couldn't be SSR, could it?"
Unfortunately, she would never find out.
This ranked match had already ended, the ancient Roman architectural-style arena began to dissipate, and both sides returned to their respective ranked match spaces.
Xia Yuan sheathed his sword and began to digest the feeling of his first Shikai.
He had to admit, it felt absolutely amazing!
In his previous life, he already thought Byakuya Kuchiki from Bleach was incredibly cool, but using the ability himself felt absolutely incredible!
Mo Shiyu, still in her Saber appearance, ran over with starry eyes, circling around Xia Yuan like an curious child asking:
"Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan!"
"That was your new Zanpakuto ability, right?"
Xia Yuan nodded coldly and aloofly.
Mo Shiyu recalled the breathtakingly beautiful scene from earlier, her face filled with intoxication and excitement, her cheeks slightly flushed. "The cherry blossoms... such a visually stunning skill! The divine being designed your skills way too gorgeously!"
It had both power and aesthetics, a skill that was both magnificent and handsome!
Can anyone understand the happiness of having such an SSR Contracted Spirit?
Xia Yuan understood.
He remembered when he pulled a newly released SSR character in his previous life and tried their skills for the first time - he had looked just as foolish as Mo Shiyu does now...
After giggling foolishly for a while, Mo Shiyu recomposed herself and bumped Xia Yuan's arm. "There's something off about you - why are you standing so ramrod straight, and why has your speaking tone changed..."
Xia Yuan snorted coldly, "What would you know? This is a cosplayer's self-cultivation."
As a chuunibyou teenager, after obtaining an anime character's body and appearance, who could resist pretending a bit and recreating the character's personality and demeanor?
He coughed and said in a cold voice, "I've decided - whenever I enter this space, I will be Byakuya Kuchiki's personality, not the original Xia Yuan!"
This usually sarcastic and unserious guy had suddenly become so quiet and aloof,
Mo Shiyu felt completely uncomfortable and unaccustomed to it. She leaned in closer and asked, "Are you sure you can resist the urge?"
Xia Yuan glanced at her indifferently, "Naturally."
Mo Shiyu's eyes curved mischievously - she wanted to cause some trouble.
She breathed hot air onto her hands, then started tickling Xia Yuan's armpits. "Tickle tickle... Can you resist this too?"
Xia Yuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He retaliated by giving Mo Shiyu a solid knuckle rap on the head, which finally made her behave...
Mo Shiyu, sporting a shiny, prominent bump on her head with teary eyes, continued starting ranked placement matches.
During the waiting time.
Xia Yuan waved her over, "Fatty Yu, my shoulders are sore. Massage them."
Mo Shiyu initially wanted to firmly refuse, but the bump on her head still hurt, so she resigned herself to trotting over to Xia Yuan's side and started kneading with both hands.
This close proximity allowed her to appreciate the handsome man before her even more clearly.
Mo Shiyu's mouth felt somewhat dry.
Undoubtedly, Xia Yuan in Byakuya Kuchiki's appearance was also super handsome!
What's more, it was different from before - it was another type of handsome, the aloof and noble kind!
Gulp...
For a moment, Mo Shiyu felt a sense of novelty and betrayal rising in her heart, as if she wasn't serving Xia Yuan now, but another brand new SSR Contracted Spirit...
She even couldn't stop herself from fantasizing - if she had a husband like Xia Yuan who could change into various top-tier handsome guy skins, who could withstand that?
She would never get tired of it...
"Hehehe..."
"Harder, did you not eat?"
Xia Yuan's icy words shattered her imagination.
Mo Shiyu wiped away her drool and started massaging with vicious intensity.
No matter how good the skin, his personality was still just as terrible!
Xia Yuan enjoyed the "King of Flat-chests'" massage, quite satisfied.
This space was just too wonderful!
Whenever he wanted, he could make Mo Shiyu transform into any of his anime waifus from his previous life.
"Match successful!"
Xia Yuan stood up, temporarily sealing all of Gojo Satoru's abilities. Right now, he was just a sword-using Contracted Spirit - Byakuya Kuchiki.
The surrounding scenery changed again - this time the Contracted Spirit arena environment had switched to the rooftop of a skyscraper!
The second placement match began!
The opponent's rank was slightly higher, having reached Silver.
Moreover, their team composition was even more outrageous.
Three C-rank and two B-rank - a full five Contracted Spirits with various appearances!
Absolute numerical superiority in Contracted Spirits!
The opponent Spirit Tamer laughed heartily:
"This match is in the bag - encountered a fresh recruit!"
Xia Yuan was even happier than him, since more Contracted Spirits meant more reward points.
This time he increased his efficiency. Now that he knew how powerful his self-created Mad Demon Sword Technique was, there was no need to continue being a clown...
He directly opened with Shikai!
"Scatter!"
"Senbonzakura!"
Instantly, it was cherry blossom season again.
After a brief moment of dazed appreciation of the beautiful scenery, the opponent's five Contracted Spirits were soon covered in blood, dead and returned to the Contracted Spirit space...
"Congratulations to Knife in Rainy Night Without Umbrella for winning!"
Opponent Spirit Tamer: "(☉д⊙)!"
Xia Yuan condensed his sword back into its sheath, flicked his sleeve and turned around, "Next."
Mo Shiyu: "ヾ(●゜▽゜●)♡"
The subsequent ranked matches were all easy and enjoyable.
Xia Yuan, relying solely on Senbonzakura's Shikai without using Gojo Satoru's abilities, achieved a five-win streak in his placement matches!
After killing quite a few high-level Contracted Spirits, Xia Yuan's system reward bar finally rose to 57%!
By the sixth match, the opponent they encountered had reached Platinum rank.
The strength of opponent Contracted Spirit team compositions kept increasing.
Four max-level B-rank Contracted Spirits and two level 90 A-rank Contracted Spirits applied some pressure on Xia Yuan.
This rank was already considered high-tier strength among ordinary Spirit Tamers!
Therefore, every match of Platinum Spirit Tamers would attract many spectators, either to learn team composition strategies or to appreciate battles between strong players...
There were already several hundred people in the surrounding spectator stands.
The opponent Spirit Tamer's ID even more fittingly revealed his identity: "Top University Ace Spirit Tamer Young Master Wang!"
The spectators, upon seeing Xia Yuan and Mo Shiyu's exquisite game appearances, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Young Master Wang was also stunned. He looked at his own abstract frog-person character design, then glanced at the other side's super stylish handsome man and beautiful woman, immediately feeling unbalanced:
"Knife in Rainy Night Without Umbrella, where did you buy your appearance code?"
"If you tell me, I can make your Contracted Spirit lose less embarrassingly."
