Learning Spells with offensive properties are long-range methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this long-range advantage has its limitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those in the Second Realm, the effective range is mostly within a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are very few that can exceed a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Spiritual Qi is molded into a magic spell and released, its stability decreases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explained from a modern scientific perspective, Spiritual Qi, like ordinary gas, begins to dissipate as soon as it leaves the human body, its container, and is exposed to the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This process is rapid and fleeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the dilution reaches a certain level, the strength of the magic spell begins to diminish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, the spell formula, the basis of the spell, cannot be maintained due to inadequate concentration of Spiritual Qi and inevitably collapses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dilution of Spiritual Qi is unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To mitigate this, one must enhance the refinement of the Spiritual Qi in the body, thereby increasing its stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those in the Second Realm, no matter how refined the Spiritual Qi is, there is a limit to how much it can be refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s spiritual power is greatly different from ordinary people’s Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it too exhibits dilution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, his liquid-state spiritual power has the characteristic of liquid evaporation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to maintaining the effective period of a magic spell, his spiritual power and Spiritual Qi are virtually indistinguishable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least according to the records on the Immortal Learning website, the maximum range of Palm Thunder at the Great Perfection level is only fifty meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much browsing, Li Jing finally zeroed in on a Second Realm Attack Method called \"Spirit Strike\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the 280,000-cost Palm Thunder, Spirit Strike was too cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only costs 120,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Li Jing would never choose such a cheap option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, he is not short of money now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, a magic spell costing 120,000 is one of the cheapest available for the Second Realm, and learning it would seem like a waste of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for a long enough attack range, Spirit Strike was undoubtedly the best solution!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basic Spirit Strike can reach an effective killing range of 500 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Strike at the Great Perfection level: 3000 meters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This range is simply unparalleled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a maximum effective range of just fifty meters, Palm Thunder cannot even be considered inferior to Spirit Strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When comparing the lethality, the tables are turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Strike is weak, so weak that it can be ignored by anyone with even a slight form of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing is not bothered by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He currently has 5 surplus Skill Points, enough to push the Spirit Strike to its peak in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Spirit Strike at the Great Perfection level is not necessarily an unrealistic expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual power is much more efficient than Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He definitely needs a low-profile attack spell right now, to conveniently use in front of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a second thought, Li Jing pressed the purchase button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formula popped up, and an alert sounded in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Found a learnable active skill, Spirit Strike, do you want to log in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Log in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Successfully logged in the active skill, Spirit Strike.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mastering Spirit Strike, Li Jing decisively spent the remaining 5 Skill Points to max it out immediately, then went over to the Immortal Message to send a message to Chen Yuran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One question, do Evil Cultivators have the ability to control monsters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuran, who was in the seafood shop, quickly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple question mark, emphasizing her confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly sent another message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evil Cultivators are unpredictable, their methods can’t be judged by common sense. Their Magic Skill System and the Immortal Learning Spells that ordinary people learn are not the same concept. In the internal case files of the Patrol Bureau, there have been precedents of Evil Cultivators controlling monsters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Jing quickly edited a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found a very suspicious rat outside. It’s spying on the seafood shop, do you think it ha... \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was still writing his message, Li Jing looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in the sky, dozens of sword lights appeared in the distant horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Support from the Patrol Bureau had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Li Jing lifted his leg, slammed his foot into the ground and blasted his spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the counterforce of his spiritual power impact on the ground, Li Jing propelled himself above the crowd, and flicked with his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spiritual power shaped like a long needle shot out from his fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Strike crossed over a hundred meters instantly and accurately hit the Rat Demon who was about to hide back into the sewer due to the arrival of the Patrol Bureau’s reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rat demon’s skull was pierced on the spot, with its health bar emptied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Jing had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spiritual strike at the Great Perfection level was worth anticipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the triple enhancements of proficiency, spiritual power, and suppression by the grand stage, the unguarded rat demon didn’t even have the chance to react before it died instantaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Experience Points +621.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A prompt echoed in his ear as Li Jing landed on the ground with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His act of stomping the ground had startled everyone present, including Lu Yangcheng and Yi Xiuzhu, who were maintaining order on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sight of him landing with a refreshing look on his face, most people present were befuddled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yangcheng, Yi Xiuzhu, and a few others, however, noticed that Li Jing had jumped up and flicked something out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all shifted their gaze, and the rat demon, with a hole through its skull, came into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the corpse of the rat demon, the crowd turned their heads back in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rat demon was large, but it just looked like a rat with a bigger head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To those who couldn’t see the monster health bar, it was just an oversized rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Li Jing make such a dramatic leap, scaling three to five meters, just to kill a rat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yangcheng and Yi Xiuzhu didn’t think it was that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to ask, Chen Yuran stepped out of the seafood shop quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, dozens of patrolling officers arrived to provide support, with sword lights falling nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing so many patrolling officers present, the crowd finally realized that something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A normal murder case wouldn’t warrant such a large response, would it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrolling officers were very busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, please stay calm. We need to check the identity information of everyone present.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading male patrol officer said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, he glanced at Li Jing, who had attracted everyone’s attention in front of the seafood shop, and glanced at the rat demon that lay dead by the drainage ditch, signalling another patrolling officer with his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the signal, the officer approached to inspect the demon corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining patrolling officers split into two groups. One group surrounded the crowd while the other took out devices to identify individuals within the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the perplexed crowd stay put, taking out their ID cards in compliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When encountering patrol officers, the people of this world were surprisingly conscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cooperating with the patrol work was a citizen’s duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuran stepped out and saw that the patrol bureau’s support had arrived and someone walked away. She subconsciously followed the direction of the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the large-headed rat dead by the ditch, she went over to pull Li Jing aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That rat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just about to send you a message explaining.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing turned, holding up his phone to show her the in-complete sent message, \"The sudden arrival of patrol bureau startled it, and I had to kill it directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the content of the message, Chen Yuran voiced her confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure there’s something wrong with that rat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Certain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded, recounting the circumstance when he locked eyes with the rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t say that he could see the monster health bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that alone was enough for Chen Yuran to realize that the rat was a manipulated rat demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not waiting for her to speak, the leading patrol officer who had arrived at the scene walked over to them for a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inspector Chen, could you introduce this gentleman to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Welcoming the newcomer, Chen Yuran didn’t dare slack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His name is Li Jing, a member of the patrol defense team in the Assistant Inspector Department.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After her reply, she turned to Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Dai Hong, Captain Dai, the group leader of the Serious Case Six Group of North City Patrol Bureau.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Group Leader of Serious Case Six Group!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another heavyweight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was taken aback and quickly extended his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Dai, it’s a pleasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pleasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dai Hong smiled and shook hands with him lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard what you just said, your observation skills are very detailed.
