Chapter Summaries

Jiang Han survived a punishing group-stage match against Qiao Xinyi by using a Giant Cat to counter her Reignite spell and win, then reflected on how difficult it had become to prevail without creating miracles. The group stage continued to favor Jiang Han and the two Water Dragon Certificate witches, though Jiang Han believed she had kept more of her tactics hidden.

• Cat Lamp Style spread into three schools: Jiang Han’s attrition tactics, Angelite’s simultaneous-position damage, and Loya’s Giant Cat Gundam approach.

• Jiang Han told Xiya that winning had become difficult as opponents learned her tactics, and that she would need to create miracles to keep advancing.
