"This is..." Chen Xi's gaze fell on Qianqi Weiming's head, where a video game-style red bar had suddenly appeared.
She whipped around and saw an identical red bar floating above Li Changkong's head.
"Health bars?"
Hearing the name of Li Changkong's domain, Chen Xi immediately deduced its general effect.
Although domains could be activated silently, research and actual combat had long proven that calling out a domain's name could slightly increase its power.
