In the confined space, a cold gleam flashed, the lance grazed the youth's fatal throat, the burning wings brushed past his sight, and ashes swirled.

Under Angelina's cold expression lay a suppressed fervor, advancing step by step, she launched the Shuo Flower Spin, the tip of the lance glimmering, cherry-colored blade light slashing continuously, the surrounding walls burst apart like paper.

With the "Crow Slaying Ash Armor" enhancing her, her frontal combat power was formidable, both power and agility greatly enhanced, with building destruction amplified by 300%. In her Ash Burning Domain, the enemy's life recovery effects were suppressed by 90%, deducting a certain percentage of their maximum life value every second and transferring it to her.

In simple terms, in narrow spaces, she wouldn't be constrained by buildings, she could swing her lance broadly and fiercely, continuously weakening her enemies while growing stronger in battle.

It's fair to say her Divine Gift pushed her combat abilities to the extreme; the only flaw was a decreased resistance to negative effects, making her extremely susceptible to mental impacts.

"Starting with your Divine Gift right away, are you a mad dog raised by the Dark Gold Rose?"

Zhou Zhao sneered, narrowly dodging a thrust, using the girl's lance tip to leap upward, stepping onto a balcony railing, and then jumping further up with its aid.

Hearing this, the silver-haired girl's pupils contracted sharply, bloodshot, suddenly shooting her lance upwards.

Where the silver-white lance tip passed, the concrete wall shattered with a roar, creating a massive circular hole.

The lethal lance grazed by, the air howled, lifting a flurry of rubble, Zhou Zhao glanced down in lingering fear, Angelina staring fiercely at him, her fervent gaze seemingly wanting to tear him apart.

He raised his glove, an ivory gate forming at his fingertip, pointing directly at Angelina.

Sensing the crisis, Angelina decisively turned back, just in time as two other gates gathered behind her. A pixel light wave passed through the ivory gate at the youth's fingertip, emerging from the ivory gate behind her, then accelerated by the Horn Gate!

In an instant, a giant arc-shaped light wave occupied her vision.

Angelina repeatedly swept with her lance, smashing one after another of the arc-shaped light waves. The airflow quickly rushed past the lance tip, leaving countless fine cuts on her body from the hidden sharpness.

Wave after wave of light waves crashed onto the lance Angelina held in front of her, the powerful impact forcing her to retreat continuously, while the gate's position shifted unpredictably, sometimes appearing on the left, sometimes overhead or at her feet, making defense almost impossible.

Angelina swung her lance again, clashing the tip with a light sphere, forcibly deflecting the pixel light sphere that flew up close, blasting towards a nearby building, collapsing an entire wall.

In the Ash Burning Domain, black crow feathers fluttered, the air was scorching with intense heat, waves of heat, causing the buildings to melt and collapse.

After a brief exchange, it seemed like Angelina was resisting Zhou Zhao's attacks, but she hadn't sustained much damage; her life value remained stable above 95%.

In contrast, Zhou Zhao, even without a direct hit from Angelina, his maximum life value was continuously eaten away by the burning flames, leaving only 75%.

The flames clung like maggots on a bone, the burned health bar turned gray-white, ash fell, unable to be restored by any healing method for the next three hours.

Even if he managed to suppress Angelina with his glove, in the end, he would be burned alive, becoming an ash-burning charred statue, blown away by the wind.

The opponent's ability was very restraining to him.

"Really tricky." Zhou Zhao clicked his tongue, decisively abandoning the suppression and turned to continue fleeing.

As Angelina was about to continue the pursuit, Xu Xiaoyou's voice sounded in her ear.

"Don't chase them, Anya."

"With the frontal combat power of those two, I can handle a two-on-one just fine."

Xu Xiaoyou said, "Lu Shuhang didn't immediately support Zhou Zhao, which means his 'Assassin God' can't swap locations across the map."

"Then I should pursue further, first reduce Assassin's Creed's numbers."

"That won't work, Angelina, you need to come protect me first. Tang Xin and Su Sui are across over ten giant towers from me, Youyou can't spare herself at the moment, only you have the ability to come help me. There are two Assassin's Creed members near me."

"Moreover, Four-leaf Phoenix Tree has Divine Speed, even if you can handle two, if they decide to run away, you won't catch up."

"You just want me to protect you first, right?" Angelina coldly said.

"You've seen through me." Xu Xiaoyou said appreciatively, "You know my situation better than them. I'm currently weak, helpless, and pitiful, really need Anya's protection~"

Listening to Xu Xiaoyou's exaggerated tone, Angelina decisively cut off communication, glanced at the direction Zhou Zhao left, then at the coordinates sent by Xu Xiaoyou, sighed lightly, and abandoned the pursuit.

From here to Aoki Line, she should be able to reach the other side quickly.

With this thought, Angelina withdrew the Ash Burning Domain, turned around, and slowly walked into the shadows.

At the same time, from the perspective of the blue-haired girl.

Tang Xin woke from a short rest, seeing a pair of clean, slender arms, the sound of the school bell ringing in her ears, the sound of children playing and laughing in the corridor fading away.

The gentle breeze lifted the lace curtain, she turned her head, golden sunlight rushing in, creating checker shadows on the floor. The playground's rubber track basked lazily in the sunlight, the sun-warmed plastic's scent wafting into the classroom carried by the wind. The shrill cicadas' song was crisp, the swaying green branches became clear under the undulating view, outlined in golden light, reaching towards the clear sky.

In a daze, she seemed to walk through a tunnel of time, entering a summer, a bright classroom, textbooks stacked on the desk, a messy mop in the sanitation corner, children playing and laughing in the corridor, motivational slogans in bold on the blackboard at the back of the classroom.

Is she... in a classroom?

Looking at her delicate arms, Tang Xin realized something, picking up the mirror on the table, seeing a childish face, sky-blue short hair softly draping over her shoulders, the youthful contour even bearing imprints of book pages.

Matching that calm, serious little face, it actually gave off a small adult vibe of maturity.

Tang Xin silently put down the mirror.

She cleared her throat, tried to sing, her voice mildly hoarse, childish.

"Yo, singing now."

Xu Xiaoyou's voice, laced with an indefinable smile, transmitted through the communication channel.

By the sound of it, the other party had evidently guessed her current situation.

Tang Xin turned her face away silently.

She could already imagine Xu Xiaoyou and Angelina trying hard not to laugh when they saw her like this.

"Rest assured, Youyou's situation is similar to yours."

"That's good." Tang Xin sighed relief.

She wasn't the only one in this state within the team, strangely, she felt much more at ease.

"How's Youyou's situation?"

"Her? She should be... alright?" Xu Xiaoyou raised an eyebrow.

...

"Sister Bai is mighty!"

"Hit him, beat him up!"

"Dare to steal from us, teach him a hard lesson, let him know the power of the 'Little Ghost Gang', Sister Bai!"

Shifting perspective, a certain dirty, messy street, amidst children's cheers, Bai Youyou punched a man in front of her, sending him flying, then lunged forward to grab his collar, landing a few more punches on his swollen face.

The man's teeth were knocked out, nose and face covered in blood, finally fleeing in disarray, Bai Youyou with a dusty face stood up, wiping her nose under the adoring gazes of the children.
