Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 81: Ice Cream Advances!
"Hiss~"
Walking on the way home, Qin Chuan rubbed his sore shoulders, grimacing with pain.
Too miserable.
Only God knows what he had gone through in the last half hour.
Relying on a long sword and the basic sword skills he had just learned, every encounter with Ji Huai would end in defeat within two rounds—within half an hour, he had been defeated hundreds of times.
The key point was that Ji Huai had been mercilessly giving Qin Chuan no time to catch his breath.
Exhausted? Here, have some fruit!
When Ji Huai tossed the oh-so-familiar Physical Recovery Fruit into his arms, Qin Chuan felt an unprecedented disdain for it.
However...
Qin Chuan couldn't help but crack a smile.
The effect was indeed good.
Perhaps it was the immense pressure from Ji Huai that maximally stimulated his own potential. From initially only reacting after his long sword was knocked away, by the end, Qin Chuan had developed some muscle memory.
That was the reason he could last till the second round.
From nothing to something in an hour, Qin Chuan's improvement was nothing short of tremendous.
After all, he was facing Ji Huai.
"Hiss~"
The soreness in his shoulder surged once again, and Qin Chuan's smile quickly faded.
It hurts, hurts, hurts~

"What happened to you?"
Just as she entered the Dream World, Yue Li cocked her head at the sulky Qin Chuan and looked puzzled, "Did something unhappy happen in the real world?"
"Not really, it's actually a good thing..." Qin Chuan thought about it, decided not to hide anything, and briefly described being singled out by Ji Huai for intense training, "The training was just too intense. All over soreness almost kept me from falling asleep before midnight."
"It's okay." Yue Li said with a beaming smile, "Even if you hadn't fallen asleep before midnight, I would still protect you in the Dream World and wait for you to log in!"
"Thanks for that." Qin Chuan smiled, and turned to look at Snow Ridge not far behind, "I'm heading over to Snow Ridge."
"To beat up the Ice Demon Wolf ten times and incidentally earn an achievement."
"Pfft~" Yue Li covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking with laughter, "I have a strong suspicion that you're looking for a chance to vent."
"How could that be?" Qin Chuan said innocently, "I just want to have a nice 'chat' with that Ice Demon Wolf."
Taking the Red Fruit that Water Flower had fetched for him, he waved at Yue Li and ascended Snow Ridge with Snow Cream and Water Flower.
Half an hour later.
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the Hidden Achievement 'Newborn Calf', Achievement Points +300, Experience Gem +30]

[Newborn Calf: Successfully challenge a higher-ranked Spiritual Beast and escape unharmed 10 times.]
Having earned an achievement and giving the Ice Demon Wolf, that snatched Snow Cream's Cold Soul Essence, a good beating, Qin Chuan returned in high spirits with Snow Cream and Water Flower.
As soon as he got back to where he and Yue Li had parted ways, he saw Yue Li directing Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong to create a Fire Dragon Tornado engulfed in flames in the air.
Its mighty power was significantly stronger than Xiao Qing's Tornado alone.
"All vented out?" sensing Qin Chuan's arrival, Yue Li turned around smilingly, somewhat showing off as she spoke, "Look at my new research!"
"You developed a Fusion Skill for Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong?" As he watched the Fire Dragon Tornado in the sky, Qin Chuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Yue Li had only contracted Xiao Hong yesterday, and yet today she was able to command two Contracted Spiritual Beasts to use such a skill.
Such efficiency, truly worthy of a top student.
"I just had a few ideas," Yue Li said softly. "A Spiritual Beast can only possess one Attribute, but we can utilize more Attributes in reality."
"This means we can try to combine different Attributes, develop multi-Attribute Skills, and then teach the Contracted Spiritual Beasts, so that they can also master them in their training."
"There are discussions about the development of multi-Attribute Skills on the Dream Realm Forum," Qin Chuan mused, "but it seems they haven't thought of teaching their Contracted Spiritual Beasts."
"Maybe because they don't care that much about the Dream World," Yue Li said with a smile. "In the Dream World, players can start over even if they accidentally die. Even though the power of the Dream World impacts reality, many people still feel that reality is more important."
"What about you?" Qin Chuan glanced at Yue Li.
"I think both worlds are equally important," Yue Li's eyes shone brightly. "Here, I can see things I can't in reality and experience what can't be experienced there."
She subconsciously looked down at her feet, and her smile became even more radiant, "Here I've met Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong, and you, and every day has been so joyful."
"I really like this place, so..." Yue Li's gaze dropped slightly, "I'll never let myself start over by deleting my account."
Qin Chuan didn't speak, admiring the girl in front of him.
At this moment, he felt he understood why, despite being with Water Flower day and night, his Affinity couldn't catch up with hers.
Because she treated this place as another reality.
"I think you're right, helping Contracted Spiritual Beasts master the combat method of using multiple Attributes together is very important," Qin Chuan suddenly smiled.
An interesting idea had just surfaced in his mind.
Among all his abilities, the most powerful was controlling water currents to rotate at high speed and slice the opponent's whirling strangle.
That ability required diamond powder, which couldn't be brought into the Dream World, and without it, the damage from the water currents would be greatly reduced.
But, he had developed a way to use an ice-water mixture in reality yesterday.
Within the zero-degree water flow, minute ice crystals could serve as a substitute for diamond powder.
Although the ice crystals were not as strong as diamond powder, they had the advantage of being enhanced by the Ice Attribute, which could freeze the opponent while strangling.
With that, the power wouldn't be diminished.
"It seems you already have some ideas," Yue Li said softly as she looked at a thoughtful Qin Chuan, whose eyes were becoming brighter.
"Yeah, a few," Qin Chuan nodded, "but let's not rush the training."
"Let's head to the next exploration point first, and let Snow Cone advance."
Snow Cone still needed two Low-level Resources. With Yue Li's luck enhancement, he could exchange for two random Low-level Resources at the Achievement Store to complete the set.
Yue Li's luck enhancement could last for ten minutes, and when used in conjunction with the Sun Needle's second Talent, perhaps he could be as lucky as he was yesterday.
Two unrelated things, because of good fortune, were arranged together.
So, he needed to go to the next exploration point first to allow Snow Cone to advance.
"Let's go." Yue Li followed behind Qin Chuan with a smile, very curious about what good things they would find today.
An hour later.
In Snow Cone's amazed gaze, Qin Chuan conjured two silvery orbs like magic, which solidified into the two other resources needed for its advancement before being set into the Advanced Array.
Accompanied by a dazzling light of advancement, Snow Cone's skirt lengthened, the ice-like eyes shed some of the childishness, and the aura around her became even more imposing.
Snow Cone, successful advancement!
