My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World

Chapter 554 483: Completely Passive, Trapped in a Predicament [Two-in-One]

The pursuit continued, crystal shards shot past them like a storm, shredding everything in their path.

Angelina's legs were grazed by the crystals, quickly growing clusters that were dark red and ravenously absorbing her life force, making her steps heavy.

However, compared to Xu Xiaoyou, these clusters were nothing. The girl behind her at this moment looked like a porcupine covered in crystal clusters.

Xu Xiaoyou grunted without responding, Angelina frowned slightly, "Hey, are you alright? Maybe I should carry you?"

"Anya, Youyou was right." Xu Xiaoyou endured the pain of the crystals biting into her flesh, "You really should change your habit of communicating by instinct."

"If it were you who got hurt, do you think we could still be running now?"

As Xu Xiaoyou had predicted, after their overall score dropped to 80, Jason's actions were also freed from more restrictions. To be precise, at this moment, Jason continuously lifted two action restrictions, enhancing the Tag Catcher every time the team score dropped by 40.

The most direct change was that the characteristics of his Divine Gift were greatly enhanced, from initially only being able to attack by wrapping chains around him, to now being able to shoot crystal clusters with parasitic abilities, which would extract the life force of the prey upon grazing them.

This ability is an extension of 'Darwin's Skin', evolved using Bai Youyou's rose blood as a template.

These were just offensive enhancements, and as the Slaughterer's support position, Jason clearly had stronger defensive capabilities. Fortunately for them, they only needed to avoid this guy rather than kill him.

Angelina didn't respond, quickly leaping to the flank to dodge the incoming crystal shards.

"Don't worry, I know what you're concerned about." Xu Xiaoyou said calmly. "I am fully aware and can make rational judgments."

"My spirit value is much higher than you think, no taint can erode my rationality. As long as I'm not unconscious, I can keep thinking."

As she spoke, a sharp spike suddenly stabbed into Xu Xiaoyou's back, the blood poison spread throughout her body. She grunted, burying her head on Angelina's shoulder. Even at this moment, this guy was concerned about her image in front of countless audiences, pretending to be unfazed.

"Keep running, Anya, I'm fine." she said softly, glancing at her depleted life value, a card with [Divine Step] appeared at her fingertips, she gently pressed it on Angelina.

"Prepare to evade, that guy is about to perform a Blood Barbaric Charge."

Angelina, though surprised, still trusted the girl's judgment and instinctively dodged.

Jason roared, his speeding figure suddenly halting, the blood-red gaze locking onto only Angelina's figure in motion. His sights were completely fixed on the girl, stamping his feet mightily on the ground, a crimson aura enveloping, leapfrogging at several times the previous speed directly towards Angelina with extreme speed.

Fortunately, Angelina was prepared, leaping up and ignoring gravity to sprint forward on the ceiling, dodging the rampant chains and iron hooks, continuously opening clusters around her, and swirling a lance in her hand to defuse all approaching attacks.

The figure shrouded in blood mist, ignoring everything at her side, its breath like an enraged beast, bursting out ranks of power, each foot stomp causing the carriage to shake violently, and after another brief pursuit, Jason's explosive speed began to dwindle, gradually being left behind.

"How did you do it?"

Xu Xiaoyou's weary eyes slightly closed, blood oozing from her lips.

"It's not difficult, just calculate cooldown."

"Calculate cooldown?" Angelina was stunned, knowing that if Xu Xiaoyou's judgment had been a half-beat slower, they would have been smashed into a blood mist by Jason by now.

Between different professions, the cooldown times for each Tier and level have subtle differences, with permutations reaching astronomical numbers, and yet she casually mentioned calculating cooldown?

"Of course, it's not rote memorization, it's all about patterns. For instance, the Berserker's 'Blood Barbaric Charge' follows a formula based on 'base cooldown time * 0.9 to the power of proficiency level * 1 - 0.01 * Tier', and the Ranger's green vine entanglement..."

"I didn't ask you to tell me this." Angelina stopped Xu Xiaoyou, who planned to continue. "Why do you remember all this...meaningless stuff?"

"Meaningless?" Xu Xiaoyou chuckled softly, "Anya, these are key skills for different professions, the Combat Professional's Blood Barbaric Charge is a notoriously fearsome lock-on skill, with ultimate speed determined by the agility of the target, it can even catch up with a Stalker on a Rampage Unrestrained. I've watched many recordings, many team battles were reversed by this skill alone."

"And just now, didn't it play a crucial role?"

"This is the basic competence a Commander should possess, Anya." Xu Xiaoyou said, "You should really ask yourself if you are fulfilling your role as the team's main attacker..."

"Tsk, in your condition, stop talking."

"The next time he releases Blood Barbaric Charge will be in 34.16 seconds, remember that time, if I'm not regained consciousness, you evade yourself." Xu Xiaoyou said, her eyes slowly closing, limply leaning back. "By the way, remember to block the live broadcast footage for me, that's the most important..."

"Hey, just a second ago you claimed to be fully aware, and now you're passing out by yourself, what is this!"
