Shen Bai didn’t want to specialize too heavily, so he decided to develop his skills in a balanced way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a terrible situation if he ran into danger before he could grind Blood Sword Dance to Level 5 while his other Divine Powers remained unimproved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind made up, Shen Bai finished his food in a few quick bites and stood up, ready to head back to the pawnshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, a clamor suddenly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai turned toward the source of the noise and saw Zhou Qing leading a group of constables.
