According to Jiang Yini’s instruction, they moved closer to the Heavenly King Group’s camp, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the camp in the middle, and began arranging their own camps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this process, the action counselors from both the Hidden Dragon Group and the White Wolf Group came to meet with Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they all belonged to the Jianghai Management Bureau, they naturally got on well and their negotiations were smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging pleasantries, the two counselors went back to their individual tasks. Li Jing, playing the role of absent boss, continued to look forward to the arrival of one or two ’noble’ figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chen Yuran in charge, there was no need for Li Jing’s input.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, no ’noble’ figures arrived. Instead, the heads of the other 24 city management bureaus came to ’sightsee’ upon hearing about the Heavenly King Group’s catch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, this was quite annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, being the leader of the Heavenly King Group, had to accompany the visitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t rely on Chen Yuran to entertain guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrangements for the camp were still ongoing so everyone was busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s even more annoying for Li Jing was that the representatives of the 24 city administrations did not all show up at once; they came in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was exhausted from entertaining one group after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About five hours later, close to dusk, the Heavenly King Group’s camp was finally fully erected, and the Hidden Dragon Group and the White Hawk Group had also completed most of their camp arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was relieved when he finally saw Jiang Yini again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-faced with satisfaction, she soared through the air to the location where the Research Institute had ’assembled’ the bodies of the giant beasts and bird people, and landed next to Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this person who had been gone for a full five hours and now seemed to have gotten something beneficial, Li Jing asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s making you so happy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini whimsically responded. After looking at the now fully ’assembled’ giant beasts and bird people, she turned back and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, the district head, the two alien civilization commissioners, and various bureau heads will come. Northern God Country and representatives of various forces from the Northern Grand Alliance will come too. We will talk about some arrangements and prepare for the reception.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing heard this and his mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there an end to this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heads of the 24 city Management Bureaus had just made a round, and now another group was coming?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this group, there were not only the district head, commissioner, and bureau heads, but also representatives of the ally, The Northern God Country?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the formation be any larger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he was left speechless, Jiang Yini said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The district head and others will be easy to handle. As for the representatives of allies like the Northern God Country, they are foreign guests and we should be more formal in our reception,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Jing felt his head aching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guests of an allied country should not be neglected, of course,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hospitality and dignity of Longyu Country must be demonstrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is considered formal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He does not understand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that his counselor’s position is nominal, he is just a 21-year-old young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he understand such complexities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Jiang Yini, who was standing beside him looking beautiful and serious as if she really wanted to discuss something with him, Li Jing said timidly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the reception of foreign guests, you, the bureau chief, should handle it. I’m not good at these things. As long as you, the bureau chief are there, the action counselor, which is me, wouldn’t have anything to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini frowned and looked at him unhappily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re really taking this hands-off boss thing to heart, aren’t you? As the person in charge of the Heavenly King Group, you should be present when representatives of the Northern God Country and other allies come, otherwise, it’s inconceivable. Moreover, you were personally involved in most of the Heavenly King Group’s findings. I only learned some of it through your action report. If anyone asks related questions, how can I answer them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My action report should be clear enough, you can answer them as long as you read it thoroughly,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing stated his viewpoint, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you need a company, let Yuran accompany you, I won’t get involved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini of course couldn’t be happy to hear this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuran was competent, she knew that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being competent only placed her in the supporting roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for who contributed the most, without a doubt, it was him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted Li Jing to join her in welcoming representatives from allies like the Northern God Country, not because he could share the load, but because she wanted to show off their Jianghai Management Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is our Strategist Li from the Heavenly King Group who raided the Daohe and White Hawk exploration teams, exposed the plots of the church, and killed thousands of giant beasts and brought back their remains!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, she just wanted to flaunt her deeply unpredictable and repeatedly meritorious action correspondent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could she flaunt him if he was not there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing roughly knew what Jiang Yini was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she seemed about to employ a soft and persistent strategy, he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, I’m not getting involved in this. I have to go to the Secret Realm later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to the Secret Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have some things to deal with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, Li Jing waved his hand and took out the more than a dozen giant spirit weapons he had confiscated earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had to rush off earlier and didn’t get a chance to give these to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the sudden appearance of the giant spirit weapons, Jiang Yini was taken aback. She didn’t even consider holding him back to help her \"welcome the guests\", she asked doubtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These... are the giant spirit weapons unique to the bird people mentioned in your report? You’ve confiscated them all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Responding, he added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though these spirit weapons seem crude, they are of very high quality, and remained undamaged even after my Forbidden Skill cleansing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he looked around at the Research Institute members who had been busy with various tasks but now were craning their necks to look at the giant spirit weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should take these things for now. It’s not much use handing them over to the Research Institute for analysis. It would be better to focus their efforts on investigating the Secret Realm. Once the ’guests’ arrive later, you can bring these out for them to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Yini nodded and collected the giant spirit weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her leadership, the teams of White Wolf and Hidden Dragon Group she led to reinforce the ranks were over ten thousand strong, she still brought personnel from the Research Institute. But their manpower was limited so she shouldn’t disperse the Research Institute’s efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was not that they didn’t obey, but once they had something to research, they would devote themselves to it without thinking about eating or drinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpses of the giant beasts and bird people brought back by Li Jing still needed to be studied, as did the Giant Beast Civilization, and further official exploration was needed by the Research Institute. Therefore, they had to control the input of these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the three large groups of the Jianghai Management Bureau might fall into an awkward situation where there was no available staff from the Research Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After storing all the giant spirit weapons, Jiang Yini asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long will you need to return to the real world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll be back soon, it won’t take long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini agreed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you’re only going out for a while, you might as well make a trip to the national capital. After all, with your speed of sword control, it won’t take much time to go back and forth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing, she added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The qualification to learn forbidden magic has already been obtained for you. You can go directly to the Forbidden Skill Library of the Immortal Studies Research Association. When you’re done learning the forbidden magic, you can return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unexpected that the qualification to learn the forbidden magic was obtained so quickly. He had initially thought that it would have to wait until the end of this Secret Realm exploration, but he didn’t expect Jiang Yini to be so efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking too much, Li Jing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has the matter with the Supreme Church been handled properly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s nothing to ’handle’. The news has already been secretly leaked through various channels, and the various powers of the Eastern World are already aware of the church’s plot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini explained,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s hard to say what their attitudes are, but they’re definitely on guard. As long as the Eastern kingdoms are on guard, the church’s plans to invade the East are basically aborted. We have to thank the Supreme Church for this. If it weren’t for their plan to invade the East, the combined forces of Daohe Alliance and several small countries would have directly switched to the White Hawk. They wouldn’t be so ambiguous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing her explanation, she didn’t let the subject linger and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When representatives of allies like the Northern God Kingdom gather the information they need, we’ll hold an internal conference in the Management Bureau. We’ll assign some people to negotiate with the alien civilization in the underground tunnel of the relics together with the Major League, and at the same time, send exploration teams to conduct an official exploration for a week. As for the Heavenly King Group, are you interested in the tunnel space or...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not interested in the tunnel space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I will suggest in the meeting that your Heavenly King Group continues to explore,\" Jiang Yini spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The White Hawk Group should stay put and guard the base, while the Shadow Dragon Group will participate in the negotiations in the passage space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was quite interested in the situation within the ruins’ passage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really wanted to go in there and throw around some forbidden skills, but the possibility of a conflict happening was minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alien civilization offered attractive conditions for negotiation, perhaps with the goal of instigating conflicts among different exploration teams. However, the end goal would most likely still be negotiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its move was remarkably tacticful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the bird people that Li Jing encountered, who launched an attack from a late Six Realm giant ape against the Heavenly King Group, this one sat down and offered attractive conditions for negotiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Li Jing personally, killing these alien civilizations would undoubtedly be more profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from Longyu Country’s perspective, trading with the alien civilization is the way to gain more substantial benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same could be said for other forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was just about negotiating without any chance of a fight, Li Jing naturally wouldn’t want to participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After communicating with Jiang Yini, Li Jing called Yulian and Jiu Li over to get to know her under false identities, and immediately handed over the command to Chen Yuran and left the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exiting the secret realm, Li Jing skilfully flew away from the entrance where the secret realm was located in the sea area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance was already tense in the secret realm, and the outside was not any better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All forces had fleets guarding outside, ready to support their own exploration teams at any moment, but they were also at odds with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea area was tense and ready to explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing left the entrance of the secret realm, landed on an unknown island, took out his mobile phone to connect to the expensive global mobile signal network, and sent a message to Little Aid who was far away at home in Jianghai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Aid, retrieve the Three-Realm Sword Control Technique, find one that emphasizes speed and one that emphasizes functionality for me. Also, retrieve the Four-Realm Auxiliary Magic Skill, find three that have a direct boost effect on the Primordial Soul for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after sending the message, Little Aid replied with recommendations for two Sword Control Techniques, and three Auxiliary Magic Skills as directed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Little Aid’s recommendations, Li Jing found the corresponding magic skills on the Immortal Learning website and learned all five of them at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword Control Techniques were, Wind Chasing Sword Skill and Shadow Transformation Sword as recommended by Little Aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Chasing Sword Skill, although its name was quite common, according to the Immortal Learning website, this Sword Skill was among the fastest in the Three-Realm Sword Control Technique. Combined with a mutated wind attribute sword, the practitioner could control the sword wind at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Sword Technique was definitely worth mastering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Transformation Sword, similar to Sky Sword Technique, produced sword shadows but leaned more towards functionality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As per the Immortal Learning website, a master of this skill could produce ten thousand sword shadows that felt like real swords to attack the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Releasing thousands of swords at once had a very strong visual impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also numerous tricks to its use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regrettably, its power was considered below average among Sword Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was very interested in this Sword Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t seeking power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having already mastered the Sky Sword Technique, he didn’t see the point in pursuing more power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ability of the Shadow Transformation Sword to produce countless sword shadows somewhat overlaps with his Spirit Soldier Break. However, the core elements of each were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core of the Spirit Soldier Break depended on his realm level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the Shadow Transformation Sword was different, its power was greatly influenced by the strength of the sword wielded by the user. The stronger the sword, the stronger the shadow will be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the soon-to-be Immortal Sword Blue Edge be strong enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the perspective of the type of attack, Spirit Soldier Break would be classified as explosive, while Shadow Transformation Sword was purely a slashing attack, making their functionality not contradictory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without much hesitation, Li Jing spent 10 skill points to fully level up the two Sword Control Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, he heard a notification sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three top-level same-series skills learned, achieving the conditions for a three-in-one boundary breakthrough fusion. Do you want to proceed with the fusion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confirm fusion, fusion skills Sky Sword Technique, Wind Chasing Sword Skill, Shadow Transformation Sword.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fusion successful, obtained Limit Breakthrough technique, Moon Shadow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, with three prompts ringing in succession, slowly typed out a question mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moon Shadow, the name only related to one of the three sword skills due to the character \"Shadow\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be a mutation fusion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking again at the panel, indeed the words \"Moon Shadow\" appeared in the passive column of the boundary breakthrough, instead of the active column.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another mutant breakthrough skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it’s another passive one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s eyes lit up with excitement. He closed his eyes to feel, and then opened them again with a peculiar expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of Moon Shadow is not as simple and crude as the double strength of Divine Might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under specific conditions, it allows all shadow swords to have the same power as the Shadow Transformation Sword and enables another sword-controlling technique to affect the shadow sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its conditions are not too harsh, as long as it’s under the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This skill, no doubt, is slightly overpowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow sword has the same power as the Shadow Transformation Sword and allows other sword-controlling techniques to take effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it’s night, not only can the weaknesses of Shadow Transformation Sword’s power be compensated, but he can also control ten thousand Flying Sword Blue Edge when using the Shadow Transformation Sword’s top secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, he can even make the Sky Sword Arts or Wind Chasing Sword Skill work on the shadow sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is somewhat brutal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Think about it, if the Flying Sword Blue Edge achieves the Immortal Items level, who could withstand ten thousand Immortal Items instantly casting the Sky Sword Arts top secret?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skills fused from the boundary breakthrough are generally complementary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moon Shadow can be considered complementary, but it is pretty twisted to enable other sword-controlling techniques to take effect at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Divine Might obtained from the boundary breakthrough, Li Jing has to switch between the Zhenshi Skill, Thousand Weight Method or Divine Town in order to use three different Control Object Skills, which cannot be effective at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that it would be more appropriate to add two words in front of Moon Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering his thoughts, Li Jing gazed at the three auxiliary methods directly bolstering the Primordial Soul that were already logged onto the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three auxiliary methods recommended by Xia Ai were the Spirit Nurturing Technique, Gathering Spirit Skill, and Heart Questioning Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three are spiritual level assistance methods. Apart from direct bolstering of Primordial Soul, each possesses its own unique characteristics and have pretty good boosting effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Nurturing Technique gradually nurtures spiritual power when it’s effective, making it twice as beneficial when deploying spiritual level tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual level tactics depend on Primordial Spirit Strength and are closely related to spiritual power strength, but the latter usually has a smaller impact for being interconnected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An increase is definitely better than none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zero Noise Charming Shadow is essentially a spiritual level tactic, except it lacks offensive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As its name suggests, Gathering Spirit Skill helps concentrate one’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the assistance method is in effect, one can have stronger resistance to the spiritual level tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its effect is similar to the Returning to Origin Skill that Li Jing was initially taught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except its bolstering of Primordial Spirit is stronger, and resistance slightly weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boost from the Heart Questioning Skill is in refining the heart. When in effect, it stabilizes the mind and makes a person less likely to be affected by external factors, thus enhancing Li Jing’s resistance to spiritual level tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he is not cultivating and does not need a peaceful mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resistance to spiritual level tactics brought by a stable state of mind is something he quite fancies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being nurturer to a monster like Yulian, who is increasingly growing overly fond of him, it’s always good to have more resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, who knows what disaster might occur someday?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a bit, Li Jing spent nine skill points to upgrade the three auxiliary methods to the third level, leaving one to be used for the soon-to-be-acquired forbidden skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new forbidden skill, he might not be able to use immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had a max-level World Thunder Punishment, which might not need another forbidden skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since he was about to study it, he should at least reach an introductory level, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skills points are not needed urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a Big Secret Realm waiting to be explored, obtaining skill points is still pretty guaranteed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending the skill points, Li Jing didn’t dally. He waved his hand to summon the Flying Sword Blue Edge, made it rise with the Wind Chasing Sword Skill, transforming into a blue light that shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",3409,"2026-06-06T07:41:35.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","44f564ea6ef0489c2df1b6a5ac2294446fd120617e1617ec97a54c87b78af31b","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-257","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-255",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
