Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 73 What are your criteria for choosing a partner?
"Take it with you?"

Qin Chuan looked at Yue Li in surprise.

"Yes, we have both broken through to the official level and have a second contract slot. It's time to consider contracting a second spirit beast." Yue Li smiled.

"That's right, but I'm a water element..." Qin Chuan looked a little embarrassed.

He liked the Flame-Tailed Squirrel very much, but the powers of water and fire did not fit together at all.

The fire-based extraordinary power is essentially an invisible and intangible substance with extremely high energy density and is highly flammable. It only needs very thin oxygen to cause it to react violently and burn, and even if it burns for a long time, its consumption is still not large.

Because of this, although the power of fire is strong, it also needs to follow the corresponding science.

Combustion will release a large amount of light and heat. This heat will cause the temperature of the water to rise rapidly, turning it into gaseous water vapor and escaping the control of the water-based extraordinary person.

The gasification phenomenon itself is an endothermic physical reaction, which in turn causes the reaction temperature to drop and also reduces the activity of oxygen molecules, thereby suppressing combustion.

This means that if Qin Chuan chooses the flame-tailed squirrel as his second contracted spirit beast, the situation of "1+1＜2" will occur when he exerts the power of two attributes.

"Who asked you to sign a contract?" Yue Li rolled her eyes coquettishly and looked down at the flame-tailed squirrel. "Little squirrel, come with your sister, okay?"

"Squeak?"

The flame-tailed squirrel raised his head with a puzzled look.

"I'll give you this!" Yue Li took out the spirit beast snacks with a smile.

The killer move!

When practicing blood control with Shuihua before, the Flame-tailed Squirrel had tasted the sweetness of spiritual beast snacks. Unfortunately, Shuihua’s proficiency improved rapidly, so it only had a taste of the new thing and failed to escape Shuihua’s control in the following few times.

Now when he sees the spiritual beast snacks, he seems to smell the wonderful taste of the flame-tailed squirrel before he even opens it, and his eyes light up immediately.

"Here you go, this whole bag is all yours." Yue Li handed it generously to the Flame-tailed Squirrel and stretched out her other hand to comfort Xiao Qing, who had a resentful look on her face.

When the flame-tailed squirrel excitedly bit open the package, Yueli had already aimed the second contract position at the flame-tailed squirrel.

During the entire contract process, the flame-tailed squirrel did not have any hesitation or resistance.

"This..." Qin Chuan was stunned when he saw this scene, "Is this the contract?"

"Of course." Yue Li said with a smile, "The compatibility between wind and fire is very high."

"Wind helps the fire", these two attributes are indeed highly compatible.

In addition, Yue Li was attracted by the flame-tailed squirrel the first time she saw it, so naturally she didn't hesitate too much.

Although the level is a bit low, it’s just a matter of spending some experience gems.

"Okay." Qin Chuan laughed silently.

Although it did not become his contracted spirit beast, it was not bad that the flame-tailed squirrel joined the team in another way.

"It will be difficult for Xiaoqing to reach the elite level in a short period of time. Next, we can look for more experience fruits of the fire system." Yueli smiled as she watched the Flame Tail Squirrel munching on snacks. "We need to raise its level to Growth Level 20 as soon as possible."

Xiaoqing's expression became more and more resentful, but Shuihua next to her had a look of gloating on her face.

It glared at the splash in dissatisfaction.

"Lie~" When Qin Chuan contracts a second spirit beast, you won't be much better!
Hearing this, Shuihua couldn't laugh anymore.

Smiles don’t disappear, but they shift.

Xiaoqing suddenly felt much better.

Just at this moment, Yue Li turned around and asked Qin Chuan about his thoughts on the contracted second spirit beast, and Shuihua's four ears stood up in an instant.

"The second spirit beast?" Qin Chuan looked thoughtful.

Among the twelve attributes, there are quite a few that can be paired with the water element.

But the only attribute that can produce a "1+1>2" effect with the water element is the ice element.

Ice is solid water, but the ice system is more than just ice.

The reason why it is called the ice system is that when using bare hands, the most common way for ice-type extraordinary people to use their abilities is to directly condense the gaseous water in the air into ice.

But its essence is to use the extraordinary power of ice to lower the temperature of other things to below zero degrees and gain partial control over them. The strength of the control is related to the object being cooled.

If what is frozen is water, it can be completely controlled. However, if what is frozen is the opponent's arm, it will be impossible to control it at will.

In the first extraordinary combat class, when Qin Chuan and Zhu Yuwei teamed up to fight Ji Huai, Qin Chuan's water flow was frozen into ice by Zhu Yuwei, and then the control was transferred to Zhu Yuwei's hands and became Zhu Yuwei's means of attack. This is a common use of ice power.

It is precisely because of this flexibility that having both ice and water elements allows for many interesting combinations.

"It should be the Ice type." Qin Chuan thought about this and said softly, "It would be best if the skills themselves could be more interesting."

In Qin Chuan's opinion, Undercurrent Binding is a very interesting skill.

It is not a simple restraint or control, but an increase in water pressure in any direction for the water flow, which is "hiding powerful force in the water" in the skill description.

With the help of the Water Master, Qin Chuan can easily condense a flow of water into the shape of his palm, but it is still static water, and the texture of the liquid itself does not change. Not to mention using weapons, it can be easily cut off with bare hands, and it is even more impossible to grab objects with it.

But under the influence of the Undercurrent Binding, it was completely different. The long sword cut into the Hand of Water, just like a head-on collision with a high-pressure water gun. The strong water pressure blocked the invasion of the long sword and indirectly made it "solid". The same applies to other uses.

It is precisely because of this interesting effect that Qin Chuan is able to continuously develop new ways of use, such as the hand of water when facing Ji Huai for the first time, and the rotating strangulation of water when facing the Demon Rat King.

The inspiration for the latter actually comes from the drum washing machine.

It would be great if the second spirit beast contracted could also have such interesting skills.

"You have quite a few requests." Yue Li held her cheek and looked at Qin Chuan, unable to help but laughing, "According to your requests, when will we be able to find the second spirit beast?"

"Actually... I won't." Qin Chuan laughed, "As long as it can be paired with the water system, I can accept it. What I just said is just my personal expectation. What really determines whether a contract can be signed is still the chemistry between us."

"It's like listing a lot of criteria for choosing a spouse, but the person you end up with may not meet most of the criteria."

"Really?" Yue Li's smile suddenly brightened. "Then what are your criteria for choosing a partner?"

"I..." Qin Chuan was speechless for a moment. Facing Yue Li's smiling eyes, it seemed as if a warm current surged from the bottom of his heart to his cheeks. He couldn't help but turn his head to the side, "I haven't thought about it."

"Puchi~" Yue Li couldn't help laughing, stuck out her tongue and didn't continue the topic.
