At close range,

the Humanoid Tyrannosaur's appearance was clearly revealed before everyone's eyes.

She was actually a cute-looking woman!

Two black horns grew from her head, and she wore black scale armor. Her body was lush and athletic, exuding an indescribable sexiness.

The long bone blade in her hand extended directly outward from her arm.

That strike had failed to kill Xia Yuan.

A stunned expression appeared on her face as she stammered in human speech, "What... happened? What... blocked it?!"

Xia Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "The dungeon BOSS can talk? So it was a female tyrannosaur from the start..."

The Ice Soul Queen drew her sword without hesitation and slashed toward the Humanoid Tyrannosaur's back!

The sword light flashed, radiating biting cold!

The temperature throughout the entire space plummeted, and even the moisture in the air instantly condensed into frost.

"Ice Chill for Ten Thousand Miles!"

The Humanoid Tyrannosaur spun around and raised her bone blade to block it. The icy sword energy continued erupting, violently blasting her away.

Crack, crack, crack, crack...!

Wherever the sword energy passed, a thick, razor-sharp wall of ice formed, dragging the Humanoid Tyrannosaur backward without pause.

She raised her bone blade and swung it backward, splitting the ground with a single strike before finally breaking free and escaping!

"Mm, that sword strike wasn't bad either."

Xia Yuan stroked his chin and gave a calm assessment.

As expected of a level 95 SR Contract Spirit. She had some damage output.

"So who exactly are you?"

"At level 28, how did you block her attack?"

The Ice Soul Queen sheathed her sword and stared sharply at Xia Yuan.

The oppressive presence of a high-level SR needed no explanation.

Mo Shiyu hurriedly explained nervously,

"We... we're students of North Sichuan Spiritmaster Academy."

"He's my Contract Spirit. His name is Xia Yuan, and his abilities are very special. Ah... it's hard to explain in just a few words!"

Xia Yuan smacked her on the head. "Chubby Yu, that was way too messy."

He got straight to the point.

"In short, I'm here to help you."

"That thing seems to possess independent consciousness. I should be able to control her and make her fall into a stupor."

"But with my current level and Chubby Yu's spirit power, it can only last about a minute at most."

Han Yue glanced up at Mo Shiyu, whom Xia Yuan was carrying. "Wait. Let the girl enter our spirit power barrier first. It's safest inside."

Xia Yuan reached out and touched the barrier. "This thing looks pretty fragile. Is it really reliable?"

Han Yue explained, "It's a barrier exclusive to raid teams. It blocks the BOSS's perception, so subconsciously, it won't attack this place. Ordinary combat aftershocks can't break it either."

Only then did Xia Yuan toss Mo Shiyu inside.

The Ice Soul Queen frowned at the level above Xia Yuan's head. "You said you can control the BOSS? But you're only a level 28 Contract Spirit. How are we supposed to believe you?"

Xia Yuan put his hands on his hips, raised his chin, and looked at her with a grin. "You're an SR, right? I have one more S than you. That should be enough, shouldn't it?"

Han Yue and the Alliance Spirit Masters present were all somewhat shocked.

"You're an SSR?"

"Right, I saw the report before. Chuanda Spirit Master Academy really did produce a new SSR!"

The Ice Soul Queen looked at the silver-haired man before her and inexplicably felt annoyed. She retorted proudly, "What's the use of one more S? I'm level 95, and I'm equipped with max-level Spirit Power Inscriptions!"

Xia Yuan was even less willing to let her off verbally, saying in a smug tone, "So you're still an SR. Ahahaha... there's an entire S between us. Why don't you add another S? Is it because you don't like it?"

Seeing his smug expression, the Ice Soul Queen ground her teeth. "Master, can I beat him up?!"

Han Yue immediately spoke sternly.

"That's enough. Stop fooling around, both of you. Look at the situation we're in."

Mo Shiyu puffed up her cheeks and complained, "Xia Yuan...!"

Xia Yuan helplessly waved his hand.

"Fine, fine, I get it. What a pain..."

"Anyway, just like I said, I can control her for one minute. During that time, Miss SR and I just need to hit her with our strongest attacks."

Han Yue bit her finger again and began thinking.

The ability Xia Yuan had displayed earlier was extraordinary.

As a T1 Rank Spirit Master of the Alliance, Han Yue was highly experienced and knew a fair amount about SSRs.

SSRs were famous for having ridiculously overpowered skills.

Some skills were completely unaffected by level. Maybe there really was a chance!

So, she decided to give it a try.

Han Yue looked at the distant BOSS. Xia Yuan's appearance had made her cautious, and she did not seem to have any intention of attacking for the moment.

They had time to discuss!

"Alright!"

"You need to tell us the specifics of your control ability so we can formulate a strategy!"

Xia Yuan had no intention of hiding anything and immediately told them the activation method and abilities of his domain, Unlimited Void.

"Simply put, I can pull the opponent into my domain and forcibly make their brain undergo countless repetitions of perception and transmission."

He pointed at his head.

"It's like flooding the brain with massive amounts of useless information, causing it to lose function and fall into a stupor and paralysis."

"After the Domain Expansion, only people I touch will be unaffected."

"Other than that, within my domain, my attack power will be greatly increased, and my attacks will always hit."

After hearing his explanation, everyone fell into deep shock.

Especially the Ice Soul Queen. Her exquisite, beautiful face was filled with disbelief. "How could there possibly be such an absurdly overpowered control skill in this world?"

Mo Shiyu was even more dumbfounded. She had never expected Xia Yuan's ultimate move to be this broken!

Forcibly crashing the opponent's brain, guaranteed hits within the domain, and Xia Yuan's immensely powerful cursed techniques—it was practically invincible!

No wonder Xia Yuan kept saying he was the strongest. He had not been bragging at all!

Han Yue and the Alliance Spirit Masters were also stunned.

"SSR... skills really are outrageous..."

"That's way too overpowered!"

"What did I just hear? I can barely believe my own ears..."

Han Yue bit down hard on her finger. "Alright, let's do it. I hope you're not bragging..."

The other support-type Contract Spirits were also summoned back and informed of the final battle plan.

Though they were supports, the help they could provide was considerable.

Two of them could increase the main DPS Contract Spirit's attack power, with a maximum boost of 300%!

Another could provide a speed bonus.

That was also why the Ice Soul Queen alone had been able to fight the Humanoid Tyrannosaur BOSS for so long.

Xia Yuan stretched his body. "Give all those buffs to Miss SR. I don't need them."

The Ice Soul Queen snorted coldly. "Just focus on controlling her. Leave the rest to me."

Xia Yuan glanced at her and chuckled. "Remember, when I activate my Domain Expansion, make sure you grab hold of me. If you turn into an idiot, I won't be responsible."

The Ice Soul Queen ignored him. Instead, she slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. A powerful chill erupted from around her body!

Layer upon layer of glittering ice crystals condensed over her knightly skirt. She blossomed like an ice lotus, wrapped in ice souls, breathtakingly beautiful!

"All Attributes Enhanced!"

"Ice-Crystal Goddess of War Form!"

Xia Yuan applauded from the side. "Amazing, amazing. You've grown ice all over yourself. I didn't expect Miss SR to have a second phase like the BOSS too—the Ice Cream Form!"

A vein bulged on the Ice Soul Queen's forehead as she cursed, "It's Goddess of War Form! Are you deaf or something?!"

At some point, Xia Yuan had adopted a serious, earnest expression and said solemnly,

"Alright, Miss SR. At a time like this, stop joking around and be serious!"

Ice Soul Queen: "..."

After they cleared this BOSS, she was definitely going to beat this guy up!

How could there be such an irritating Contract Spirit in this world?!
