Chapter 125: Resonance 3, New Ability: Spirit Descent!

I feel like… I hadn't finished speaking yet when I logged out?

Waking up from the hospital ward, Lin Yue used her now‑movable right arm to push herself up to sit, and a strange expression appeared on her delicate face.

But recalling how Luo Ye had teased her appetite a week earlier, she felt a secret thrill of revenge.

Let you also taste the frustration of being left hanging!

With a thought, lines of text appeared before her eyes.

【Current Transcendent Value: 7320】

【Current Passive Skills: Star·Hawk Eye, Star·Flame Body】

【Current Active Skills: Star·Flowing Flame Tail, Star·Blazing Flame Bullet, Star·Flame Dance Burn】

【Item Carry: 1/1】 【View】

【Resonance 3: Skills Star·Flame Body, Star·Flowing Flame Tail, Star·Blazing Flame Bullet, Star·Flame Dance Burn gain 10% enhancement, unlocking Spirit Descent: Golden Tail Flame Beast】

Spirit Descent.

100% favorability is a qualitative change, a necessary condition to unlock Spirit Descent.

【When the Spirit Beast's favorability reaches 100%, after jointly comprehending the Ultimate Truth, it can be unlocked】

Besides that, another necessary condition left Lin Yue somewhat puzzled.

But the appearance of Spirit Descent clearly means this view is wrong.

After 90%, increasing favorability becomes ever more difficult.

Lin Yue glanced at the book Aerodynamics on her bedside table, revealing an expectant look.

【Current Active Skills: Star·Dark Current Bind, Star·Vast Scroll Heavenly Waterfall】

Even though she took each day in the Dream World as seriously as in reality, sincerely treating every companion, her favorability with Little Green is now only 93%, and with Little Red it barely reaches 90%.

On the forum, many players think that after 90%, continuing to spend great effort to raise Spirit Beast favorability is unnecessary, as Transcendent Value gains little and it's taxing.

She decided to teach the two little ones a brand‑new wind‑fire dual‑system combination tomorrow!

——

【Current Transcendent Value: 5420】

It turns out there are other restrictions; Resonance 3 merely unlocks.

Comprehending the Ultimate Truth…

Unable to curb her curiosity, Lin Yue tapped the 【Unlock Spirit Descent】 button with her right hand.

This is undoubtedly a new ability, and also something she wanted to tell Luo at the critical moment.

Lin Yue wore a thoughtful expression.

【Unlock Spirit Descent】

【Item Carry: 0/1】 【View】

In her haste, Lin Yue chose to carry Little Red's three active skills, including the new one, and upon triggering Resonance 3 she saw the new prompt before her.

What is it?

Never mind, I'll find out later; first I'll properly nurture my bonds with Little Green and Little Red.

【Current Passive Skills: Star·Water Master, Frost Cold】

【Resonance 2: Skills Star·Water Master, Star·Dark Current Bind, Star·Vast Scroll Heavenly Waterfall gain 5% enhancement】

"So what's so special about Resonance 3?"

Qin Chuan sat up from the bed, vigorously scratching his head, messing his hair into a bird's nest, his face full of despair.

Damn it!

This feeling is too agonizing!

He suddenly empathized with Yue Li from a week ago.

He still had to wait 16 hours before he could learn the answer from Yue Li's mouth.

"Ding‑ling——"

At that moment the phone rang; Qin Chuang casually picked it up, and soon Xiao Pang's excited voice came from the other end: "Qin Chuan! I've gathered ten low‑grade resource fragments, and I've already submitted a trade to the exchange!"

Thinking of the ten high‑grade resource fragments gathering dust in his backpack, Qin Chuang smiled kindly on the phone and said, "Congratulations."

"What are your plans today, Qin Chuan?" Xiao Pang asked, in a good mood, smiling.

"Plans?" Qin Chuan glanced at the gentle sunlight outside the window and fell into thought.

Today is the sole rest day in the senior high school week.

Over the past two weeks, even rest days have been taken up for practical combat exams.

The final practical combat exam will be held three days from now, with a longer interval, giving classmates time to adjust and prepare.

Thus, Qin Chuang unexpectedly found himself with free time.

"Nothing special, how about you?"

"I heard a new Transcendent Combat Club opened on Phoenix Lake Heaven Street, with transcendent fighters doing arena challenges; I want to go check it out—want to come along?"

"Arena challenge?" Qin Chuang raised his eyebrows.

With the widespread of transcendent power, related industries have indeed sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain.

Phoenix Lake Heaven Street is not far from the rental house; thinking there's indeed nothing to do today, he nodded.

"Then let's have a look."

Xiao Pang lives farther from Phoenix Lake Heaven Street, so he suggested meeting first at Qin Chuang's rental place, then going together.

After washing up and dressing, while waiting for Xiao Pang, Qin Chuang took out his phone and entered the Dream World Forum.

Seeing a post in the Dream World Forum, his heart gave a faint sigh.

As expected, although Yue Li's promotion to Elite Level occurred almost simultaneously with exiting the Dream World Entrance—less than a minute apart—still many attentive people noticed.

Before this, including him and Yue Li, over a dozen players' contract spirit beasts had successively broken through to Elite Tier, but there was still no new information about Elite Tier players, so everyone had already guessed that to break through to Elite Tier, two contract spirit beasts needed to break through simultaneously.

Qin Chuan rubbed his brow, recalling Yue Li telling him the breakthrough threshold after her advancement.

Transcendent Value 6400, promotion to Elite Tier player.

This meant that, with both contract spirit beasts reaching Elite Tier Lv20 as a base, their average affection had to exceed 80%; compared to the requirement for promotion to Formal Tier, the affection threshold was also raised higher.

Following this pattern, he could roughly guess what the threshold would be after Elite Tier.

Qin Chuan's gaze fixed on a post.

That post was asking when the Special Affairs Group would release information about Elite Tier players.

In the eyes of the vast majority of players in Yanhuang Country, both Yue Li and he were members of the Special Affairs Group, and Yue Li's promotion meant the information would be made public.

However, this time it would probably disappoint others.

The phone rang again; this time it was an encrypted call via a special app.

"Someone asked me to inquire whether you could share the information about Elite Tier players, and you could earn Special Affairs points as a reward." On the other end of the line, Chang Jinze's voice sounded.

"Let's share one first." Qin Chuan thought, "The promotion requirement is 6400 Transcendent Value; I'll organize the other information and give it to you tomorrow."

"Yue Li just got promoted and hasn't had a chance to explore yet."

"No problem." Chang Jinze replied readily, "I also have a personal question."

"Why did you let the player named Yue Li break through first?"

"To let her mask my presence." Qin Chuan lowered his eyes slightly, "That way, the attention I'll get when I break through tomorrow will be a bit less; whether it's a day earlier or later doesn't matter much."

As for exposing the secret, he alone is enough.

Having the Special Affairs Group regard Yue Li as a shield he deliberately put forward helps conceal her talent.

"I see."

Chang Jinze accepted this very convincing explanation, his voice gaining a hint of amusement, "You should have said so earlier; I'd be happy to act as that shield."

"The resources I promised you should be available in about a week." Qin Chuan changed the subject.

"All right, I'm already on my way to Area 3675." Chang Jinze shifted tone, "What do you think Ericte's reaction will be upon hearing this news?"
