Shen Ling's face was still smiling, but her heart was alert. She had never taken the natives of this world seriously, as her group had suffered setbacks among them in the past.

"Potential is fixed, but there are many ways to play the game!" The Western Sea Dragon King sneered, "This is a phrase I once heard from a sibling of our seniors, and I deeply agree with it!"
