(Lo Zhen takes a deep breath, his eyes shining golden, and the skill "Spirit Boil: Level 1" activates.)
🔊 Xiao Feng (smiling):
— "Looks like the little boy finally managed to defend himself."
🐶 Gu Lang (worried):
— "We need to stay alert. The enemies might attack soon."
(Shadows start moving slowly through the alleys of Shan Yuan, and soft footsteps can be heard.)

🔊 Xiao Feng (whispering):
— "Be careful. The Jie family won't let this go easily."
🐶 Gu Lang (grumbling):
— "I don't like this... Feels like we're walking into a trap."
👤 Unknown Assassin (from the darkness):
— "They brought a cook to the battlefield. Interesting."
(The assassin attacks with a dark cooking knife.)
💥 Clash!
(Xiao Feng quickly grabs the knife and parries.)
🔊 Xiao Feng (focused):
— "I'm not just a cook. Looking for a fight? Then get ready."
🦴 Gu Tang (steps forward):
— "Protect Lo Zhen! We can't lose him now."
🧒 Lo Zhen (breathing heavily, his eyes gradually shining):
— "I'm ready... I'll show you what I've got."
(A golden aura appears around Lo Zhen; the skill "Spirit Boil" activates.)
🔊 Xilia (surprised):
— "That's the flame of life? He's advancing fast."
(The battle intensifies. The group fights the enemies through the winding alleys of Shan Yuan.)
🔊 Gu Lang (content):
— "These fools won't back down. Neither will we."
🌀 System Alert:
"New combat skill unlocked: 'Spirit Chef's Blade' — increases attack speed and accuracy."
(Xiao Feng's knives flash. The enemies tremble under their relentless attacks.)
🔊 Xiao Feng (smiling):
— "Let's give them a taste of their own medicine."
(With a powerful strike, he disarms the enemy leader and sends him into the darkness.)
(As the dust settles, glowing eyes watch from the rooftops in the dark...)
