Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

"Are you planning on subjugating an A Rank or B Rank Secret Realm?"

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Yue Li paused in thought for a moment before asking curiously.

"B Rank." Qin Chuan did not hesitate.

He had never tested how strong the Epic Rank was, so he was unclear.

But one thing could be confirmed.

That was, as long as it was of the Epic Rank, it would possess two pieces of Moon Halo Equipment, one of which was upgraded from Starshine Equipment.

The Equipment Entries of Moon Halo Equipment were bound to be stronger than those of Starshine Equipment, not to mention multiple entries.

Just this point alone made it difficult to deal with, not to mention, if all went well, after another Evolution, the Spiritual Beast's entire Skillset would likely be further strengthened.

Qin Chuan did not feel that he and Yue Li, with six Hall Rank Lv40s, could handle an Epic Rank Lv50, unless...

His Time Stop ability still took effect in the Secret Realm.

Just like in the instance.

Therefore, he needed to verify this first.

The cost of entering an A Rank Secret Realm was quite substantial.

Using a B Rank Secret Realm for verification seemed more prudent.

"No problem," Yue Li smiled and nodded.

She also knew how difficult it was for the two of them to tackle an Epic Rank Secret Realm at this stage.

The only Talent that could be of some use in battle for the two of them was Prayer, but even that advantage was not available in the Secret Realm.

Although under the subtle influence of Prayer, the six Contracted Spiritual Beasts they had were the best, there were limits to strength.

"Let's head straight to the nearest B Rank Five-star Secret Realm." Qin Chuan glanced at the Secret Realm Information and quickly set off with Yue Li.

Before long, the two arrived at the entrance to the Secret Realm, as indicated on the Map.

It was a massive Tear in the void of space, and one could vaguely see the environment inside through the Tear, with the widest part of it easily allowing Players and Spiritual Beasts to pass through.

At this moment, several players stood outside the rift, pointing and discussing something quietly, seemingly curious to go take a look, but not daring to due to their weak strength.

Upon seeing Luo and Yue Li arrive, the crowd showed surprise but did not approach to strike up a conversation.

"Let's go."

Qin Chuan's gaze swept over the people, and then he stepped through the rift with Yue Li without any hesitation.

As the two entered, the light from the rift dimmed instantly, and a line of text emerged in the void.

[Secret Realm subjugation in progress, only Luoyue Guild members may enter, remaining subjugation slots: 3]

The Luoyue Guild...

Was this Luo and Yue Li's Guild?

The onlooking players exchanged looks and then silently searched, attempting to apply.

If they could secure such solid support, they could walk sideways in the Dream World in the future!

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

"We've received some Guild applications! Quite a number of them," Yue Li said with a smile as soon as they entered the Secret Realm.

"Must be the Players we saw at the entrance to the Secret Realm? It seems the Guild is displayed after entering the Secret Realm," Qin Chuan opened one application casually and understood after seeing a familiar name, "Let's leave it for now."

There were only 18 spots for Guild membership; there had to be some sort of threshold.

Once the Guild's ranking improved, they could then make a careful selection.

More important than that was the line of text floating before him.

[00:00:47]

He had guessed correctly.

After finishing the subjugation of the Secret Realm before them, he could try an A Rank Secret Realm.

Epic Rank?

I'm aiming for the Epic Rank!

"Right!" Yue Li nodded, and both of them focused on the Secret Realm in front of them.

The environment within the Secret Realm was similar to that of the Dream World.

But the Extraordinary Energy was visibly much more concentrated.

Perhaps only under such a dense energy environment could more resources and more powerful Spiritual Beasts be born.

In contemplation, an Elite Rank Lv29 Spiritual Beast charged rapidly towards the two of them, already in battle mode.

"Boom!"

Xiao Zi was the first to react, instantly flashing in front of the adversary and then swinging her fists down hard.

Star·Thunder Strike!

When a Hall Rank dealt with an Elite Rank, there was no suspense involved.

The Elite Rank Spiritual Beast was killed on the spot, but unlike normal Spiritual Beasts, it didn't leave a body. Instead, it disintegrated into light.

At the site, there was only a small pile of more than a hundred Experience Gems and one Secret Realm Stone.

"Yay!" Yue Li stepped forward quickly.

She, who had two Contracted Spiritual Beasts that hadn't maxed out their levels, handed the Secret Realm Stone to Qin Chuan and used up all the Experience Gems on the spot.

"No wonder the daily settlements of the Hall Rank Spiritual Beast List don't give Experience Gems anymore," laughed Qin Chuan. "The Spiritual Beasts in the Secret Realm give more, so who needs daily settlements?"

"Exactly!" Yue Li agreed deeply.

Just killing one Elite Rank Spiritual Beast yielded over a hundred gems. Slaying one to two hundred would let a Hall Rank Spiritual Beast max out its level directly.

If they encountered Hall Rank Spiritual Beasts, the rewards might be even greater.

The two chatted while walking casually through the dangerous B-level Secret Realm, where low-level Hall Rank Spiritual Beasts occasionally appeared amongst the attacking beasts. These were futile in the face of six Hall Rank Spiritual Beasts, just providing more Experience Gems...

and Secret Realm Stones.

Eventually, they reached the core area of the B-level Secret Realm, where the target of their expedition, a mighty Hall Rank Lv40, made a more impressive entrance than the Spiritual Beasts in the towns and was then one-shotted by Yue Li.

Perhaps the most shocking part of the whole process was the reward that covered the ground after the target's death.

A whopping 30,000 Experience Gems, instantly maxing out the levels of Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi.

The quantity of Secret Realm Stones and Secret Realm Keys made up for what was spent to enter the realm and then some.

The different types of resources that dropped were numerous, and while they weren't needed by the duo at that moment, trading them in at Dragon Gate Camp for Special Points was very cost-effective.

But the most important...

Qin Chuan saw in the center of the rewards a familiar and magnificent crystal.

A Hall Crystal.

A 10% drop rate had come through, and Qin Chuan was well aware that it had nothing to do with him.

He could only say that even after Prayer failed, Yue Li was still very lucky.

Looking over his shoulder at the grinning girl beside him, Qin Chuan withdrew his gaze.

Perhaps it's true that girls who smile often have better luck.

This Hall Crystal had a subtle difference from those Qin Chuan had obtained before; its surface was coated in an invisible film of light, intangible to touch yet seemingly sealing the Hall Crystal's power.

[Hall Crystal (Limited 7 Days): The barrier formed by the Secret Realm's power can temporarily isolate the Hall Crystal's aura, but the barrier cannot exist permanently. After 7 days, the barrier will dissipate, and this Hall Crystal will perish due to the peculiarity of Super Rare Resources.]

So it was time-limited.

Qin Chuan suddenly understood.

As the target was defeated, severe turbulence appeared in the surrounding space, signifying the closure of this Secret Realm. The duo barely managed to gather all the resources before they were immediately transported outside the entrance to the Secret Realm.

Watching the time-space rift close and then vanish, Qin Chuan and Yue Li were about to speak when they suddenly saw a top-pinned message pop up in the server-wide channel.

[Congratulations to Luoyue Guild players Luo and Yue Li for successfully conquering a B-level Five-Star Secret Realm and for the fortunate acquisition of a Hall Crystal!]

Qin Chuan: "..."

Yue Li: "..."

Witnessing countless guild applications pop up rapidly, both of their expressions were quite peculiar.

Could this be considered an unintended but effective form of publicity for the guild?

"Huh?" Yue Li casually checked a few applications and then suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Luo, look at this one!"

She shared an application with Qin Chuan.

Just a glance made Qin Chuan's pupils contract.
