'To be completely safe, I must swallow myself whole; in doing so, I become unable to sense the outside world, unless, like now, I leave a small slit for my eyes to appear...but then, it also creates a 'vulnerability' at the eyes that can be interrupted and attacked.'
'Furthermore... when I am in a swallowed state, I cannot move, which greatly reduces my flexibility and leaves me unable to perform tricks such as passing through walls.'
'Most importantly...'
Xue Jing's mouth twitched slightly.
'To summon this thing, I must use Word Spirit... which can't be instantaneously cast.'
'Word Spirit has strict requirements on grammar and tone; there's no room for fudging, which means that no matter how much I practice the vocal technique and how adept I become, summoning the Nonexistent Beast will always take at least a fraction of a second.'
With a thought, Xue Jing controlled the Nonexistent Beast to spit himself out, and he reappeared in the outside room.
