Chapitre 39: Chapter 36: The Fourth Cycle

```

Tick-tock...

Blood dropped onto a chaotic mess of a floor, staining the papers a glaring red, and then slowly spread around.

Tao Tao fought to cover her slit throat, trying to speak, but no sound would come out. She watched with a flicker of panic in her eyes as the young man rose and walked away.

In the assessment theater, no one could use their real abilities, yet this guy's combat strength was terrifying!

Hiss... Is this what the world of the powerful is like?!

The entire records room was destroyed in the struggle between the two. Tao Tao kneeled among the bookshelves, watching as more and more blood pooled under her, her consciousness beginning to blur. She bit her lip, caught in a dilemma.

Should she use the Resurrection Card now, or wait for that strange time loop to activate?

If she waited for the latter and got it wrong, death would be real, but the Resurrection Card was one-time only—it would be gone after use.

Damn it! Why did she have to run into him?
