Chapter 109: The First Elite Tier Across the Whole Network!

Upon hearing this, every player in the camp showed a look of astonishment on their faces.

They immediately opened the rankings, and upon seeing that the number one on the Growth Tier Spirit Beast list had changed from Luo to Yue Li, with that Water Leaf Dog contract spirit beast missing, they were stunned.

"Luo's other spirit beast is in third place!" Meng Yu shouted, feeling a slight relief in her heart.

This meant Luo was still in zone 3675, hadn't transferred zones, and the worst case—death—had not occurred.

"Could it be that he encountered danger and Luo's Water Leaf Dog was killed?" a player blurted out, his face showing worry.

We are all Chinese nationals; Luo's high ranking in zone 3675 gives us some hidden advantages, so few harbor dark thoughts wishing him misfortune.

"You guys, don't just stare at one ranking," Sun Si Hai suddenly laughed, "let's check the Transcendent Ranking instead!"

Hearing his words, everyone quickly switched the ranking list.

The throne of first place on the Transcendent Ranking shifted from Yue Li to Luo.

Who would have thought that in such a dark moment, Luo's contract spirit beast successfully advanced!

"This…could it be the world's first Elite Tier contract spirit beast?" a player muttered, his words heard by all, instantly silencing the entire camp.

As a Chinese national player, Luo achieved this world-first accomplishment, and every Chinese player shares in the honor.

【Transcendent Ranking #1】

【Transcendent Value: 5280】

【Player Name: Luo】

"Perhaps." Sun Si Hai was the first to react, his expression somewhat complex, "I both hope it is and hope it isn't."

Seeing only a single name on the massive ranking, after a brief silence, the entire camp erupted in an uproar.

These astonishing traits, just hearing about them, make one feel their difficulty.

Elite Tier!

Earlier today, the Special Affairs Group announced new information regarding Growth Tier advancement: among the four intermediate resources required for promotion, at least one must be a rare resource.

5280??

This value already exceeds the combined base stats of two Growth Tier Level 20 spirit beasts; even if both contract spirit beasts had 100% affection, they couldn't possibly reach it, right?!

Quick-reacting players already realized something, and immediately after returning to the spirit beast rankings, they switched from Growth Tier to Elite Tier.

【Listed Spirit Beast Current Tier: Elite Tier Level 20】

【Spirit Beast Ranking (Elite Tier) #1】

Wait…

【Zone: 3675】

They finally saw that missing name.

【Player Name: Luo】

This left those who had already broken through Growth Tier and were trying to go further feeling hopeless, while those still at the trainee level felt the road ahead was filled with thorns.

【Reference Battle Record: None】

【Zone: 3675】

Cannot be obtained through manual selection or random acquisition, also possesses self-restraining nature, with position randomly shifting…

【Listed Spirit Beast: Xuan Cang Dog】

But this also means he will become the target of everyone's criticism.

For Luo, this may not be a good thing.

At another position in zone 3675, KA clutched his head with both hands, his expression ferocious.

"Damn it! Damn Luo!"

During this period, he brought his contract spirit beast to continuously strive for excellent results in the Growth Tier, raising his ranking smoothly from 32nd to 14th.

Just now, he achieved another battle result; combined with his previous results, he has hope of entering the top ten of the spirit beast ranking.

However, when he proudly opened the spirit beast ranking, his joy vanished completely.

Good news: his spirit beast ranking in the Growth Tier has just reached 10th place.

Bad news: this ranking is one that Luo has given up.

Seeing Luo's name alone frozen at the very top of the Elite Tier spirit beast ranking, KA's face flushed red, full of disbelief.

Why?

Why is this guy advancing so fast?!

He took a few deep breaths, then collapsed helplessly onto the grass; the flush faded, and his expression gradually became laid-back.

After being struck by Luo several times, he decided to let it go.

Enough! Really enough! —

Regarding the potential turmoil that rankings might bring, Qin Chuan had already anticipated it before his breakthrough.

During the Growth Tier, acquiring low-level resources was not difficult, so his advancement speed couldn't compare to paying players and various organizations; naturally, he went unnoticed among the crowd.

Upon reaching the Elite Tier and beyond, even paying players and collective strength would encounter insoluble problems, and only the might of the Gui Zhen would reveal a tip of the iceberg.

He too would go from being an insignificant nobody to gradually standing at the center of the Transcendent vortex.

But this is unavoidable.

The advantage of the Gui Zhen talent at this stage is development; he must develop faster than other players to surpass those talents that can amplify their own strength.

Any increase in strength cannot hide on the rankings.

Qin Chuan could slack off and hide himself, but that is certainly not what he wants.

If he cannot dodge, then he will meet force with force.

While constantly monitoring every golden-talent player, he had already prepared himself to face all kinds of players.

At this moment, what concerns him even more are the various changes after Shui Hua's breakthrough.

The species changed from Water Leaf Dog to Mysterious Deep Dog, which indeed fits the meaning of the word "evolution".

And the species' change brought not only a stronger racial value and a completely new skill, but also changes to the Spirit Beast trait and the original skills.

Shui Hua's Spirit Beast trait changed from the previous plant identification to Water Domain Vision.

【Water Domain Vision: Within one's line of sight, discern all traces of water】

This sentence is somewhat abstract; even after reading the trait description, Qin Chuan only fully understood its meaning after communicating with Shui Hua.

This is an enhanced version of Water Vision.

Water Vision itself is not a skill; it produces the sensation of seeing water flow by relying on the Water Master's perception of water and combining it with objects in the field of view.

Because it is based on perception, its range is limited, far less than the visible range.

Whereas Water Domain Vision works within the visible range, and its effect is clearer.

As a trait, Qin Chuan is quite satisfied.

After all, the original plant identification became less useful as Qin Chuan became familiar with the plants of the Dream World and the Special Affairs Group continually shared new information.

After confirming the effects of the changed trait, Qin Chuan then looked at the skills whose names had changed.

【Star·Water Master: Passive skill, grants the Spirit Beast the ability to breathe underwater and to condense and control water, greatly reducing the energy cost of conjuring water out of thin air.】

【Star·Undercurrent Bind: Active skill, hides great power in water to produce binding or other control effects, with strength increasing with water volume, up to 200%.】

【Star·Torrent Break: Active skill, releases a water flow with strong impact to damage opponents, with penetration increasing with water volume, up to 200%.】

【Star·Water Tread: Active skill, when there is water underfoot, speed is greatly increased and grants the ability to walk on water, with speed increasing with water volume, up to 200%.】

【Star·Heavenly Waterfall: Active skill, instantly forms a waterfall descending from the heavens, sweeping and strangling targets within range, with power increasing with water volume, up to 200%.】

After looking at each skill, Qin Chuan could no longer keep the smile from his lips.

Who would have thought that after evolution, the original skills could also receive such astonishing enhancement.
