Xiao Han held the warm package, and although he knew what was inside, he still felt a little expectant.

They pulled over a table, placed it on top, and then disassembled a layer.

"call……"

Steam rose from the package, revealing a box brimming with food, meticulously divided into sections: snow-white lobster meat with tender red stripes, crisp and juicy grilled sturgeon, and fragrant fried potato cakes, accompanied by several pieces of soft bread spread with butter and a glass of fresh milk without any fishy smell—simply perfect.

Unfortunately, in Xiao Han's eyes, this meal, which was as perfect as a noble banquet, was a torment.

Crimson patterns flashed in his eyes, and a layer of magical radiance appeared on these ingredients, with various data and information floating around them.

Item: A restorative and rejuvenating care package (believe me, it's nonsense ╮(￣▽￣)╭)

Grade: Bronze

Description: A powerful tonic for replenishing energy, especially suitable for weak novice demon kings.

Feature 1: Adds the buff [Primal Sign].

[This scene is so familiar. Four years have passed, and that ruthless knight is still so friendly to you.]

Xiao Han: "..."

Holding a knife and fork, Xiao Han looked at the lunchbox on the table that exuded a devilish power, and his lips twitched.

"Completely bewildered from the start and a complete newbie to the Demon King, I had no choice but to accept it..."

Xiao Han sighed. Although the living conditions were better than those in prison, the food was better, and there was even a private bathroom in the corner with soap and other amenities, he couldn't feel happy for some reason.

"Hmm~ This lobster meat is quite fresh, and it tastes good."

As Xiao Han cut chunks of meat with his knife and fork, he savored the deep-sea lobster while swirling a crystal glass filled with milk, uttering a sigh of admiration.

Even when life is tough and you're in trouble, life goes on...

So, under the white light streaming through the iron bars, sitting in the rattan chair like a noble young master, Xiao Han picked up his knife and fork, stuffed food into his mouth, chewed slowly, but his expression was full of helplessness.

To replenish my energy, I had no choice but to force myself to eat it...

"Lying down..."

The nearby inmates watched Xiao Han enjoy a feast, their eyes bloodshot. Their own meals hadn't arrived yet, their stomachs were rumbling, and the stimulating scene before them made them even hungrier, their mouths watering.

Furthermore, they were of a lower social standing; their breakfast consisted of nothing more than a hard, black bread, and as they ate this inferior food, they shed a tear of sorrow.

"Hiccup~"

Xiao Han bit off a large piece of snow-white, tender sturgeon meat, and the interface template he could see appeared in his pupils.

Below him, there is a status bar that marks a negative buff.

The buff is a purple cube with a pair of wings on it and a lion roaring to the sky.

Xiao Han had seen this familiar icon in the latest updated version of the Book of Miracles. This purple winged lion was an ancient being in the divine realm who controlled imprisonment and barriers, the sealing god Sonophant, one of the ten high gods.

Click on the purple buff, and a list of information will appear:

Primal Seal: Restricts growth, maintains the original state, resets experience points gained through autonomous cultivation to zero, lasts for one month (updated).

"It tastes really good, but... that guy is way too paranoid."

Xiao Han scratched his head. As he swallowed and refined the food, a surge of heat rushed through his limbs and bones, sweeping away the weakness he felt after the divine blessing ceremony, and filling him with energy!

However, the purple power it contained further eroded his body. At his heart, a dim rune shone brightly, awakening from its illusion and isolating Xiao Han from external magical energy perception.

Once isolated, Xiao Han was unable to plunder energy factors from the outside world for cultivation, and could only helplessly remain at the third level of Black Iron.

If this were an ordinary professional, they would be furious instantly (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Moreover, the higher-ups were still uneasy; they were unusually cautious and would review the data again every two weeks…

┬─┬ノ('-'ノ)（Arrange them neatly）

(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻(Let's fucking flip it over again)

Energy factors are a crucial element in the birth of professionals on the continent of Midland, and it is on this basis that the pinnacle of sword and magic civilization has flourished.

In the early stages, as long as you plunder energy factors and refine them into magical power, you can become a professional.

Based on the quantitative and qualitative changes in magical energy, one can cultivate the color of magical energy and classify it into standard ranks.

The Black Iron Rank is the first stage where the refined magical energy is black due to its thinness and impurities. This is the first stage for ordinary people to advance to the professional level.

Subsequently, the black magical energy was continuously condensed and purified through multiple processes, turning a bluish-green color and advancing to the bronze rank. Pure magical energy has the effect of tempering the physique, greatly improving physical attributes, but it can be further purified and compressed.

Afterwards, due to the highly concentrated, moon-white magical energy, which is the limit of human capability, he single-handedly carved through an army of thousands of people while wearing excellent armor, making him a terrifying existence.

However, these three realms crumble before the Golden Rank of Transcendent Awakening.

Xiao Han squinted, raised his hand, and a wisp of flame ignited. His clear eyes looked at the endless sea outside the iron window, and a towering, huge reef mountain with a hole more than thirty meters in diameter on it.

Through this large hole, you can see the scenery on the other side of the reef mountain, with seagulls soaring and clouds floating.

The visually shocking scene for Xiao Han was caused by the paladin in charge, who, in an effort to improve his meals, casually tossed out a spear and hunted down a tender red tiger shark—or rather, casually blew it apart…

That evening, the novice demon king, who had been invited out for grilled fish, sat on the shore, glanced at the rocky mountain that had been breached in the distance, and remained silent for a long time.
