Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 96 Advanced Demon Beast First Kill! (April additional - for 1100 Monthly Tickets)
As Qin Chuan killed the Demon Bear, the scene quickly switched to the other examinees.
But before the next examinee had finished slaying, the scene switched back again, returning to Qin Chuan.
Upon seeing the situation in the scene, a chorus of gasps erupted in the conference room.
"So fast?!"
"To encounter an Advanced Demon Beast just like that, really..."
Looking at the Advanced Demon Beast on the screen, Zhou Zixiu's expression looked a bit strange as he couldn't help but glance at Lan Cheng's figure sitting in front of him.
Qingwang Mountain had already been cleared by the Special Affairs Group. The Demon Beasts left were specifically for the practical exams, and only Lan Cheng knew about the ten Advanced Demon Beasts.
This Advanced Demon Beast was also a Demon Bear.
So...
When Qin Chuan encountered the previous Demon Bear, Lan Cheng had probably already anticipated this scene and secretly enjoyed it on his own, right?
No wonder he didn't say a word.
-----------------
"Quite lucky."
Watching the ferocious, roaring Advanced Demon Bear charging toward him, Qin Chuan's face showed a hint of surprise.
Although Demon Beasts are influenced by mutation to become fiercer, this particular Advanced Demon Bear appeared distinctly furious.
Its ferocity laced with a touch of anger suggested a significant connection with the other Demon Bear he'd killed earlier.
Extracting a bit of diamond powder from the box he carried, he flicked his finger, and a stream of water carrying the diamond powder flew toward his ice blade, rapidly freezing a thin layer of diamond powder onto the blade's edge.
The hard, refined diamond powder formed countless serrations on the blade, greatly enhancing the Ice Blade's cutting ability.
With a thought, Frost Cold activated.

Instant frost mist appeared around the space suddenly, and the ground beneath was covered with a layer of frost. Enhanced by 'Resonance' level 2, the effect of the frost on lowering temperatures heightened, rapidly reducing the temperature of the long knife in Qin Chuan's hand to negative fifty degrees.
At this temperature, the strength of the ice greatly increased, and its density also marginally heightened. Continuing to increase the temperature beyond this point had limited benefits.
Weighing the now slightly heavier long knife in his hand, Qin Chuan's face showed a hint of eagerness.
After testing the knife, it was time to slay the enemy.
He still didn't know that his performance had been considered showy by Huaqing's Observers. Had he known, he surely would have protested loudly.
His only opponent in swordplay today was Ji Huai. An example was necessary to get a gist of where his Sword Skill stood.
The close combat with a Demon Bear earlier was just for that.
After an exchange, neither he nor the bear could gain the upper hand, but the desired effect was achieved.
Knowing his level of Sword Skill, Qin Chuan offered his opponent a swift end.
"ROAR!!!"
The roar of the Advanced Demon Bear caused the surrounding trees to tremble. In front of its over ten-meter stature, Qin Chuan looked like a small child. It swung its millstone-sized bear paws, slamming them down towards Qin Chuan in the blink of an eye.
Ignoring the talons sharp enough to easily tear through rock, just being hit by the bear paw meant Qin Chuan would end up with broken bones and torn ligaments.
The bear's paw rapidly enlarged in front of Qin Chuan's eyes, but his expression remained remarkably composed as he held the long knife in one hand, unflinching.
"BOOM!!!"
Accompanied by a massive sound, the Advanced Demon Bear's pounce missed, and its heavy paws landed heavily on the ground, immediately blasting a crater in the surface. Amidst the rising dust and wild wind, countless snowflakes were swept up.
Even with the madness of the Advanced Demon Beast, it couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Soon after, it felt an icy chill bursting from the ground where its paws touched, instantly freezing its bear paws solidly to the ground.
Qin Chuan's figure quietly appeared in the sky behind the Advanced Demon Bear. His Ice Blade slashed down towards the back of the Advanced Demon Bear, instantly bursting into a sharp and frosty light.
Frost Breaking Slash!
Accompanying the Advanced Demon Bear's painful roar, its thick fur was cut open by a blade wound. Blood hadn't yet begun to flow out before it was instantly frozen by the extreme cold.
Unfortunately, the defense of the Advanced Demon Bear was too high. Although its overall strength was on par with the Growth Rank Spiritual Beast, its thick skin and flesh were even more indomitable than the Elite Rank Blue-Scaled Jiao.
"Roar!!!"
In that brief moment, the increasingly frenzied Advanced Demon Bear had already separated its frozen paw from the ground, and with some remaining stiffness and numbness, it hesitated not at all in reaching out towards Qin Chuan, determined to tear the human who had injured it to shreds.
"Strong but devoid of Extraordinary Abilities, it's still inferior to a Spiritual Beast."
Qin Chuan slightly shook his head. Before the paw of the Advanced Demon Bear could strike, he dissolved into snowflakes that scattered, circling to the back of the Advanced Demon Bear and slashing down once more.
The same spot—deeper wound.
Now that the surface Defense was breached, Qin Chuan's Ice Blade struck successfully. With momentum, he thrust the blade from the opened wound into the back heart of the Advanced Demon Bear.
With each powerful pulse, the Advanced Demon Bear pumped blood through its heart—something Qin Chuan perceived very clearly.
This blade, precisely stabbed into the heart of the Advanced Demon Bear.
As he pulled out the Ice Blade, a large spray of blood spurted out. Before it could stain Qin Chuan's clothing, it had already congealed amidst the frosty cold, forming a vividly ghastly flower of blood on the back of the Demon Bear.
After issuing its final roar, the Advanced Demon Bear thunderously fell to the ground, twitching a few times before it completely ceased living.
"Done."
Without looking back at the Advanced Demon Bear lying on the ground, Qin Chuan quickly walked toward the deeper parts of Qingwang Mountain.
With plenty of time left, he would need to kill at least two Advanced Demon Beasts to take first place, wouldn't he?
-----------------
"Hiss…"
Inside the meeting room, someone unknowingly gasped, and everyone slowly came back to their senses.
"The entire killing process took less than ten seconds," Fan Gang slowly began, his eyes carrying a hint of daze, "Clean and efficient, each strike precise."
He glanced at the rating he had just written, tore that page out, crumpled it up, and quickly wrote something new.
"Monitor D217, examinee shows boldness, skillful sword technique, decisive in killing Demon Beasts, has a Contracted Spiritual Beast with an unusual ability, tentative rating…"
After hesitating a little, Fan Gang firmly wrote down.
"B+ level!"
Achieving level B would secure Huaqing's special attention in subsequent practical assessments. If found suitable, they could be considered for admission two levels lower than the cutoff line.
B+ was above B level, which could improve the decline to two levels below the cutoff line.
Like Fan Gang, intensely focused on his writing, Zhou Xiaoyu too was jotting something down on the other side.
However, what she wrote was slightly different.
"Monitor D217, examinee is bold and confident, skilled and precise in sword technique, extremely calm in combat, uses a Contracted Spiritual Beast Skill that is rare, tentative rating…"
Jolted by the memory of Qin Chuan's indifferent face when facing the descending bear claw, Zhou Xiaoyu took a deep breath, and resolutely wrote down.
"A level!"
Achieving level A, once confirmed suitable, came with…
A guaranteed offer!
