Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 100 The Ninth Starshine Equipment Material! (April extra with 1200 Monthly Tickets)

Ji Huai's special training taught the use of the longsword, yet it was about more than just the longsword techniques.

During his guidance, he also imparted his own philosophy of combat.

Ji Huai believed that in battle, both sides were like the two pans of a balance scale. If the strength disparity between the sides was too great, the scale would quickly tilt to one side, making the battle rather predictable.

When their strengths were more evenly matched, the scales of victory would waver uncertainly. If one party received an affliction or injury during battle, they would become more susceptible to injury in the subsequent fighting, causing the scales to tip to the other side.

So...

Strike him while he's sick, take his life!

Qin Chuan tightly gripped his longsword, aiming it at a black demon cat not far away, his eyes resounded with Ji Huai's low shout and suddenly sharpened.

A water-blue light surged in his eyes once again. Qin Chuan could see the black demon cat's pulsating heart and the circulation of blood in its body, as well as the momentary blockage where the blood passed through the wound on its waist and abdomen.

As he focused all his attention on the sword in his hand and the opponent before him, this moment in his perception seemed particularly silent; he felt the cold frost surging around him and the wind brushing through the dense forest behind him.

His body, together with the longsword, instantly turned into countless frost and snow, catching the wind and rushing swiftly toward the black demon cat.

The black demon cat, vigilant and with a ferocious roar, arched its back and fixed its eyes on the frost and snow coming its way. It did not retreat but charged forward, swinging its sharp claws in an attempt to tear apart the human hiding within the frost and snow, playing tricks.

Its swiping claws raised a gale, disturbing the incoming frost, and its boundless strength shattered the snowflakes into grains in a mere instant.

But its attack missed, failing to touch Qin Chuan in the slightest.

Frustrated by its failed attempt, the moment it landed, the black demon cat exploded with its fastest speed without hesitation, trying to escape from the ominous snowfield.

It seemed, however, to have forgotten its own injuries.

With the full force of its burst, the wound on its waist tore open a little more, the blocked blood burst through the constriction like a breached dam, spurting out and exacerbating the wound once again.

It was time.

Seeing everything clearly through Water Vision, Qin Chuan silently thought a word and appeared beside the black demon cat's injured flank. His longsword thrust out in an instant, piercing deeply through the wounded area into the chest cavity at a trickily acute angle through the gap in the ribs.

"Puchi—"

The chill that erupted from inside the body made the black demon cat's body instantly stiffen, and its heart, pierced and frozen, rapidly slipped away from its body.

As Qin Chuan withdrew the bloody longsword, the body of the black demon cat heavily fell to the ground.

In its final moments, it stared intently at Qin Chuan, a whine containing blood foam escaping its mouth. The last bit of light faded from its eyes, sealing Qin Chuan's figure within its lifeless pupils.

It was over.

Qin Chuan glanced at the time indicated on his wrist, confirming he hadn't exceeded the time limit, and let out a slight sigh of relief.

This should secure him in first place.

"Not bad."

A familiar voice floated over from not far away. Qin Chuan was startled and turned his head sharply, "Teacher Ji?!"

He had not realized when the other person had arrived at all.

"Just passing by," Ji Huai said nonchalantly, without too much explanation, "You have five minutes left, continue with the assessment."

"Okay…" Qin Chuan nodded.

That said, there were only five minutes left, and he had just slain the black demon cat. The tension that had been tight for nearly two hours also loosened, and he slumped against a nearby tree, popping a Physical Recovery Fruit into his mouth.

Ji Huai walked over to the black demon cat, took a look, glanced at Qin Chuan, then turned to leave.

"Teacher Ji!" Suddenly remembering something, Qin Chuan hurriedly called out to him, "Is this demon cat level 20?"

Ji Huai's departing figure didn't stop, and his words drifted back.

"The bear is."

Huh?

Watching Ji Huai vanish into the dense forest, Qin Chuan fell into contemplation.

Does Teacher Ji mean... the advanced monster bear I killed earlier was level 20?

He couldn't help but glance at the black monster cat again.

Then what's this?

-----------------

When the examination was over, all the candidates gathered on the playground where they had started.

Their gazes were immediately drawn to the small mountain of Experience Gems on the ground, which captured everyone's full attention.

For a moment, even Qin Chuan found it hard to look away.

How many Experience Gems are there? At least a thousand!

"Congratulations to all of you for successfully completing this practical examination and for safely returning here," Lan Cheng cleared his throat and began to speak, diverting the candidates' attention from the Experience Gems.

"The Experience Gems you see here are the rewards for this practical examination. Apprentice Level candidates from the second to the hundredth place will receive different amounts of Experience Gems according to their rankings."

"All Official Level candidates will receive a share, with the amount also related to their rankings."

"And now..." Lan Cheng's voice rose slightly as he lifted a sheet of paper in his hand, "your rankings are right here."

As his words ended, everyone's eyes turned to the rankings in Lan Cheng's hand.

"Apprentice Level first place... Changxing City No. 2 Middle School, Senior Year Class 7, Li Xian!"

As Lan Cheng finished speaking, a cheer erupted from the lineup. The chubby boy walked out, striding indifferently through the envious and jealous gazes of his peers, grinning until his eyes were nearly invisible.

Qin Chuan was also a bit stunned.

Did this guy really take the first place in the Apprentice Level?

But noticing that the chubby boy was not wearing the same clothes as he was when they arrived, and the glimpse of a white bandage at the cuff of his short sleeve, Qin Chuan's expression changed slightly.

To attain this first place, the chubby boy must have endured quite a lot of hardship.

Once this guy sets his mind on something, not even ten bulls could pull him back.

Before he could ponder further, Lan Cheng spoke again.

"Official Level first place... Changxing City No. 2 Middle School, Senior Year Class 7, Qin Chuan!"

Immediately, everyone's gaze turned to Qin Chuan.

Both first places belonging to the same school and even the same class were clearly beyond everyone's expectations.

Qin Chuan stepped forward, his heart inevitably stirring.

First place!

This meant that he could choose any one piece of Starshine Equipment Material from the list provided by the Special Affairs Group.

Before the weekly settlement, he already had four pieces of Starshine Equipment Material. The Extraordinary List settlement and the refresh of the Achievement Store had granted him another three, and before leaving the Dream World, he discovered the eighth Starshine Equipment Material.

Although he hadn't gone to claim it yet, Qin Chuan already counted it as his.

So, this was his ninth piece of Starshine Equipment Material.

If all went well, Water Flower would soon possess her own Starshine Equipment and complete the Equipment Evolution.

Patting the chubby boy's shoulder, Qin Chuan stood at the front, looking down at the other thirteen Official Level candidates with varying expressions, his smile beaming.

Gentlemen, you've been generous!
