Although "Mr. Zhang" looked like a comical Snow King mascot, his rank was not to be underestimated.
Because his rank was, astonishingly, Diamond!
It had to be said, this was only Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan's seventh placement match!
Only then did the spectators aboard the pirate ship begin sizing up Mo Shiyu's Contract Spirit lineup.
The moment they did, laughter erupted:
"Wait, am I seeing this right? They only have two Contract Spirits, and one of them is actually a level 100 C Rank!"
"But their in-game avatars look so good! I want the code too!"
"That handsome guy with the sword must be an SR, right? Otherwise, there's no way he'd face Diamond in a placement match."
"Rainy Night Carries a Blade, Not an Umbrella... Hiss, wasn't that name mentioned in an announcement before? Six consecutive wins!"
"The streamer is so lucky! Even if the opponent is an SR, he's only level 54!"
"..."
After thanking everyone for the gifts, Zhang Xuewang finally gave Mo Shiyu and Xia Yuan a serious look.
As a mature Contract Spirit Master, he had long developed the habit of observing an opponent's Contract Spirit composition before battle. Tactical arrangements had to be in place.
And to prevent his opponents from arranging tactics after observing his own Contract Spirit lineup—
Zhang Xuewang always waited until the very last moment before the battle began to reveal his Contract Spirits.
"Definitely a newbie."
"But if you ran into me during placement matches, that means your SR is pretty strong!"
A wise expression appeared on Zhang Xuewang's face, composed of cartoonish large eyes and a carrot nose.
"Though I don't know how you've kept winning until now, I won't let my guard down."
"A lion uses all its strength even when hunting a rabbit!"
