Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

Star·Blood Dragon Scale was a very powerful skill.

It could replenish its own life based on the damage inflicted while greatly enhancing the attack, until the life value reached 80% after which the skill would end.

But Qin Chuan had already identified a problem with this skill from his past practical usage.

It required a life value of less than 50% to be activated, a condition more stringent than a cooldown.

In battles against strong opponents, when at a disadvantage, one's life value would often fall below 50%, allowing multiple triggers of this skill in a single fight to maximize the effects of Blood Dragon Scale.

But Qin Chuan never fought at a disadvantage.

Thus, besides the initial activation of the [Blood Fury] that could lower the health to meet the usage requirement of Blood Dragon Scale, it was difficult to reach afterward.

Moreover, when there was a significant gap in strength between the enemy and him, the black beast could often restore its life value to above 80% with just one or two attacks, forcibly ending the skill.

In this way, a skill that was originally meant to sustain in a disadvantaged state more often turned into a burst skill when it came to the black beast.

After evolution, the black beast's traits had changed; the original Anger Shield turned into Anger, which could not only block damage but could also convert uninflicted damage into life value for recovery.

This was undoubtedly an overflow of the black beast's already abundant healing ability.

The original effect of Blood Dragon Scale should have been further weakened, but the new skill Dragon King's Furious Flame Strike became a stroke of genius that completely solved the overflow issue.

Worried that the health is too high?

Then actively reduce it!

Dragon King's Furious Flame Strike, with its ability to inflict total damage of 200% attack plus 20% of the user's maximum life value and no cooldown, was almost on par with Snow Cone's strongest strike after performing Double Frost Instant Dance and could keep Blood Dragon Scale effective.

Life value increased, Dragon King's Furious Flame Strike, life value decreased, attack and attack speed increased, life regeneration accelerated, life value increased…

Thus, a complete life value loop was formed!

"Yah—"

The fully evolved black beast was equally excited, eager for the next battle as it felt the power within.

"Looking forward to it that much?" Qin Chuan patted the black beast's drooped head and chuckled, "The next target for subjugation will let you fight alone."

The black beast nodded eagerly, raring to go.

"Yah—"

Beside them, the white beast, observing the black beast's terrifying strength several times its own, felt a surge of envy in its golden eyes.

"Wait two more days, and it should be your turn to breakthrough," Lin Yue comforted the white beast gently and turned to Qin Chuan, "Is there anything special about the Epic Rank?"

"Let me check." Qin Chuan opened his personal panel and gave it a glance, shaking his head slightly, "You can carry five active skills, and your number of contract slots becomes five, with no other changes."

He tried selecting five active skills for the black beast to carry and then added, "Resonance 5 brings a 25% enhancement to all skills."

"Is that so…" Lin Yue pondered, speaking softly after a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, players should experience a significant change when they reach Legend Rank."

"How so?" Qin Chuan asked with some curiosity.

"According to the current pattern, Legend Rank will allow the carrying of six active skills," Lin Yue said with a light laugh, "Carrying three active skills of the same Spiritual Beast and achieving Resonance 3 will unlock the corresponding Spirit Descent."

"So, theoretically, Legend Rank can unlock the Spirit Descent of two Spiritual Beasts at the same time."

"What specific changes will occur, we'll only know when the time comes."

Qin Chuan's eyes lit up.

Based on the current pattern, Lin Yue's guess was very likely true.

At present, every time he returned to reality, the skills he carried allowed only one Spiritual Beast to perform Spirit Descent. Being able to switch between different Spirit Descents would allow him to handle more situations.

Taking a bolder guess, if two different Contracted Spiritual Beasts could perform Spirit Descent at the same time…

It would definitely be much stronger than the existing Spirit Descent!

"Now that you've mentioned it, my motivation to break through Legend Rank just surged," Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh, "Actually, I can now see the requirements to advance to Legend Rank."

He casually clicked on the black beast's [Advanced] panel.

An Advanced Array, far more complex and magnificent than before, appeared before him, with a total of seven slots.

In terms of quantity, it had only one slot more than what was needed to break through to Epic Rank.

But as Qin Chuan checked the requirements for each slot one by one, his expression grew serious.

The six peripheral slots required six pieces of Legendary Resources.

These could drop in an S-level Secret Realm, and with Prayer at his side, random was as good as chosen, so gathering them wouldn't be difficult.

But the central advanced resource posed a problem.

[Mythical Stone: Exists only at the Heavenly Dome Rank, can serve as the core for SS-level instance portals, and is the key material for all Epic Rank Spiritual Beasts' Advanced stages.]

Indeed, if there weren't stringent demands for evolution, there would surely be other complications.

Qin Chuan had never imagined that the resources needed to break through to Legend Rank would require questing not in the Dream World or Secret Realm, but in the Heavenly Dome Rank.

With the gradual exploration of the instance and analysis of the 2.3 update announcement, Qin Chuan had a hunch that the Heavenly Dome Rank mentioned by Dalaisai and Salma was content likely to appear after the next world update.
