All Members Divine Endowment

"This is definitely preferential treatment, isn't it?" Xu Xiaoyou looked at the two girls who had finished their makeup.

Angelina had pale red eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes, three vermilion marks dotted her right cheek, and a half-moon of blood-red crescent moon was drawn on her left.

Bai Youyou's makeup was more realistic, unlike the others' flamboyance; aside from making her gaze firmer, there weren't many changes. The only striking thing was the sacred scale that appeared behind her head, shifting and changing with the golden dust floating in the air.

Above their heads appeared the buff effects of 【Creative Drawing Impression】 and 【Creative Drawing Reality】 respectively, granting Angelina stronger attribute boosts in her Moon Frenzy state, and adding 10% true damage to Bai Youyou's basic attacks.

Tang Xin smiled without a word.

"Next up in the bounty match: Light-Chaser Garden's Abyssal White Flower versus Heterogeneous Front's Florence!"

The host's booming voice came from outside the arena.

"It's your turn," Bai Youyou said.

"I was just worried I'd have nowhere to vent this itch," Angelina said, stretching her limbs and looking back at the girls.

"Want to bet? I can smash that vase in three minutes."

"Even so, Florence is a grade 4 Asura; don't take him lightly," Xu Xiaoyou said casually.

Cheers erupted from the arena as a flamboyantly dressed man stepped onto the stage—one look at his getup told you he was quite the show-off. A pink smoking jacket with an exaggerated fur collar, paired with his handsome face, and accompanied by bursts of flame, the man ignited the atmosphere the moment he appeared, drawing screams and shouts from countless spectators.

The previous chilly atmosphere was swept away.

"Where are the shouts!" the man exclaimed, raising his hands above his head and looking around.

"Florence! Florence! Florence!"

The crowd cheered in response.

Angelina, her disdain unconcealed, likewise leaped onto the stage, her lance spinning in her hand.

"My beautiful lady, blades have no eyes; don't blame me if I'm merciless later."

Seeing Angelina take the stage, Florence stood proudly. He had already scouted Light-Chaser Garden's current team strength; due to resource allocation within the team, the commander, buffer, and support all reached grade 4, the guerrilla was a substitute, and the main attacker was still grade 3 since the last bounty match.

Outside, his reputation was mixed; radical analysts said he was nothing but a show-off without his traditional four-support strategy. He himself didn't believe that. Which glorious era of the Heterogeneous Front wasn't created by his own hands?

Everyone said that without the Heterogeneous Front, Florence would still be Florence, and the Heterogeneous Front would just be a slightly established magnate that would soon decline.

He would continue to lead the Heterogeneous Front to new glories, and breaking doubts would start with Abyssal White Flower.

Didn't people doubt he couldn't survive without his four-support strategy? Then he would prove them all wrong in this battle!

Florence wished the doubts were louder; that way, he could utterly humiliate everyone!

He looked contemptuously at Angelina, who stood with her arms crossed, as if she were a living target full of weaknesses. The moment the signal for the match began, he could eliminate her in nine different ways.

How could someone without even a divine endowment contend with him?

The crowd roared with enthusiastic cheers, and many analysts adopted a 'wait and see' attitude. Over the past six months, Light-Chaser Garden had maintained an undefeated record in various tournaments. This time, they faced the Heterogeneous Front, also a major guild, in a one-on-one rotation combat mode.

Many who wished for Light-Chaser Garden's spectacular downfall had long awaited this day, eagerly anticipating how Xu Xiaoyou would handle the situation.

"No matter how many tricks you, Dark Gold Rose, have, they won't work in an absolutely fair arena battle, will they?"

Countless people placed heavy bets on the Heterogeneous Front, hoping to witness the glorious Light-Chaser Garden pulled from its pedestal, looking utterly pathetic.

With the host's command, and under the collective expectant gaze of the crowd, the battle officially began.

Florence decisively activated multiple buff effects such as 【Immovable Vajra Armor】, 【Dark Demon Insight】, and 【Divine Light Wave Sword】, then let out a fierce cry and swung his sword violently towards Angelina!

In less than a blink, an Earth-Splitting Wave, spanning a hundred meters, struck before Angelina, and several surging light swords shot out from it, heading straight for the girl's face!

A cruel satisfaction flashed in Florence's eyes. This was his usual trick: utilizing the wave amplification effect of 【Divine Light Wave Sword】, then unleashing his ultimate move, Earth Shatter. In an arena less than a hundred meters in radius, enemies often didn't even have a chance to react before the Earth-Splitting Wave shattered before them!

Even if the opponent could react and dodge, the advantage of the first move would still fall to him. He only needed to follow up with a few casual Wave Slashes, plus an upward slash followed by a Phantom Sword Dance, to finish the match!

Fantasy was beautiful; reality was cruel.

Just as Florence was mentally rehearsing his victory speech, Angelina's crossed arms dropped, and she moved.

The next instant, burning ember-raven feathers covered her entire body, a fierce gale howled, her dark windbreaker flapped, and under countless burning wings, her blood-red eyes, filled with killing intent, opened!

"【Raven Kill Ember Garment】," she softly uttered.

"This is...!" Florence's eyes widened.

This was her divine endowment!

"This is impossible, the intelligence is wrong; wasn't Abyssal White Flower not yet grade 4?"

The audience and analysts present were similarly stunned, their expressions of surprise frozen.

"Wait, did I see that right? Contestant Angelina unleashed her divine endowment!" the host exclaimed.

If so, did that mean Light-Chaser Garden had already broken through to grade 4 across the board?

Before the audience could ponder much, the familiar surge of power made Angelina curve into a fervent smile. What was burning now wasn't just the raven feathers, but also her long-suppressed heart, craving battle and blood to the extreme. With a slight leap, she instantly vanished from her spot.

In another blink, Angelina had already appeared on the other side of the arena, dashing towards Florence.

Seeing Angelina charging ferociously, Florence's rhythm was disrupted. He frantically tried to counter with 【Divine Steel Void Sever】. It had always worked this way; Divine Steel Void Sever could cleave space and had very high priority. As long as he used this move, he could directly interrupt an opponent's attack...

A sharp pain instantly invaded Florence's brain, his spine trembling. He stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly watching his Severing Light Blade shatter in mid-air before he could even unleash it.

Angelina broke his Divine Steel Void Sever with just a knee kick?

"This is impossible! She just reached grade 4, how could her strength attribute be so high!"

Fragments of thought made Florence completely forget that he should immediately activate his divine endowment to counterattack.

And so, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded unfolded: with a casual knee kick from Angelina, Florence was sent blasting upwards like a cannonball, a fierce gale howling around him.

Then, Angelina dashed forward, leaping into the air. With a powerful chop of her lance, she forcefully slammed Florence back towards the ground. She then vanished into the air with an incredibly fast flash, catching him before he could land, and delivering a powerful throw, seizing the man's head and smashing him onto the ground.

Boom—the ground was covered in vast crumpled cracks, spiderweb-like fissures spreading across the entire arena!
