Chapter 145 Hidden Profession——[Storm Raider! 】
Boom! ! !
As this dark thunder and lightning fell, the entire storm and even the [Secret Sea] seemed to tremble in front of the terrifying power.
The captains who were close to the core of the mine did not hesitate at all and quickly fled away from the boat.
And those on the edge of the storm could only stare blankly at this terrifying offensive that was shocking and like a punishment from heaven.
However, the giant in the sea, Xia En, did not flinch even a step.
Double ship soul power blessed him.
Meet with the power of the rushing giant.
Furthermore, a layer of faint, translucent blood armor began to appear on the surface of his huge body.
Indistinctly, there was also the roar of Gu Long's unwillingness and anger, which even drowned out the sound of the roaring storm for a moment.
At this moment, this majestic giant seemed to be challenging the storm and the sky with his own power!
In an instant.
A thick thunderbolt fell on Xia En's back.
The dark arcs continued to flash and spread, destroying the body of the projection and the armor formed by the [Dragon Blood Secret].
[Ship Soul Power -20! 】
[The power of the ship soul -2! 】
【Ship Soul Power -3! 】
[…]
The power of the ship’s soul suddenly fell downwards, and was rapidly reduced by the continuous damage of thunder and lightning.
In fact, if it weren't for the sturdiness of the [Black Swan], which has been greatly improved after the strengthening of the hull, this lightning strike alone would be enough to destroy half of the life of the projection body.
However, at the same time, Xia En also felt it with his body——
Although the specific form of black lightning is thunder, in essence, it is still a unique secret power!
This secret power is different from any secret power that Shane has ever come into contact with. It is horribly destructive and corrosive.
It felt like it was assimilating and swallowing everything else it came into contact with, dyeing them all into that deep, colorful black.
As for thunder, lightning and fire, they are only its appearance.
Even this sea anemone, which is the source of the storm, is not actually the real owner of this secret power.
So we can only use summoning to attract the thunder in the clouds.
Realizing this, Xia En couldn't help but have a bold idea in his mind.
Amidst the wandering black thunder snakes, the heavy downpour, and the huge rolling waves, he slowly straightened his back.
The violent thunder continued to vent its power, but it was still unable to penetrate the layer of blood armor, nor could it crush the giant's body.
Just the next moment.
Shane raised his huge right hand under the thunder.
The solid and thick blood energy spread and squeezed towards the center as his right hand clenched.
And the target of their squeeze was the dark thunder falling from the clouds!
"Wait... does he want to!?"
Seeing this scene, Loren couldn't help but widen his eyes and came up with a guess.
Lan on the [Heron] was also shaken and murmured in disbelief: "No matter how you say it, that kind of thing is too outrageous, right?"
But soon , the scene they expected still appeared in front of them.
I saw that under the squeezing of the giant force, a dark weapon that looked like a sword or a spear gradually formed in the palm of the giant.
In the storm, the giant held the thunder in one hand!
A huge sense of astonishment and shock enveloped everyone present, and even made them forget to make a sound for a moment.
Anyone who witnesses this scene will probably have a similar mood.
Of course, this spear of dark thunder is not so obedient.
The violent lightning arc was still fighting against the squeeze of blood, wrapping around Xia En's arm and destroying his body.
[The power of the ship soul -4! 】
[The power of the ship soul -5! 】
[…]
The power of the ship’s soul on the panel that is falling faster is enough to illustrate the danger of this behavior.
But at least at this moment, Xia En briefly gained control of the Dark Thunder Spear.
So, he raised the spear, gathered all his strength, and stabbed the spear hard into the body of the giant sea anemone, and let out a thunderous roar.
The effectiveness of the [Sword of Judgment] attached to the spear, causing its speed to surge again, and it plunged into the sea like thunder.
There was an explosion in the air, and the howling storm wind and thunder roared in all directions with the spear as the center.
The surrounding waves collapsed under this blow, forming a vacuum zone.
Boom! ! !
The moment the spear pierced the body of the dark sea anemone.
Pure black flames ignited and distorted the air.
The surging heat seemed to set the sea on fire.
This force, which does not distinguish between friend and foe, brutally destroys the body of the sea anemone, causing those soft tentacles to continuously collapse and its deepest core to fall apart.
No matter how much its body struggles and squirms, it is of no avail.
Looking at the monster whose vitality was rapidly fading, Xia En felt an indescribable realization in his heart.
"Is this the true artistic conception of [Judgment]?"
The most important thing about [Judgment] is not to use your own power to crush the enemy, but to "take advantage of the situation."
What you can borrow can be the "power" of the sea, the storm, or the "power" of the entire world.
In other words, you can regard your environment as a huge [judgment field] , and he is the supreme judge here, about to judge the enemy's crimes!
This is the real reason why [Sword of Judgment] may touch the "field" category!
That's when Shane understood this.
[Skill: Sword of Judgment (Introduction) → (Mastery)! 】
[Description: After several times of use in actual combat, you have gone further on the road of judgment. 】
Xia En's eyes swept across the panel, and then looked at his hands.
The cost of previously controlling the Dark Thunder Spear is now beginning to appear.
The fine black lightning arcs have destroyed the armor formed by blood and begun to erode the body inside.
The black flame gradually spread from his hands to his whole body. The flame composed of this secret power cannot be extinguished by ordinary sea water, wind and rain.
[Ship Soul Power: 12/100]
It is estimated that in just ten seconds, the Ship Soul Power will be completely exhausted.
But before the projection body dissipates, Shane has one last thing to do.
He dives into the water below and touches the sinking carcass of the anemone.
【Kill the Black Color Anemone! 】
【It was detected that "filthy crystals" were present in the corpse. Should it be stored? 】
Xia En said decisively: "Yes!"
[Crystals of filth +358! 】
Feeling the constant influx of filthy crystals, Xia En couldn't help but smile like an old farmer with a harvest.
His projected body gradually decomposed and melted under the dark secret power...
...
...
The Secret Sea superior.
At some point, the heavy rain stopped.
The wind and waves slowly calmed down, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the pale golden sunlight penetrated the clouds and swayed on the sea.
Warm and bright.
Seeing such a scene, the few remaining captains on the [Secret Sea] couldn't help but feel grateful to have survived the disaster.
However, the experience of this promotion ritual, especially the scene of the giant holding the thunder spear, has been deeply imprinted in their minds, and they may be unforgettable for decades.
At this time, on the deck of [Thunder]. Loren looked at the position where the giant and anemone sank into the secret sea, and could not recover for a long time.
The pride he had just now was gone from his face now.
To be honest, although in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Loren has already seen the strength of the [Shadow of the Faceless].
But at that time, he still felt that [Shadow of the Faceless] relied on a special forbidden relic and the power of the [Platinum Knight] to leave such a record.
Loren even once thought that the [Faceless Shadow] was some kind of inhuman monster.
This kind of mentality is actually quite normal.
Once people see a high wall that they cannot climb over, it is easy to deify or demonize it without authorization.
But now, the fact that they are entering the promotion ritual together is enough to show that -
[Shadow of the Faceless]'s true body is actually a second-level secret pather like him!
Such a huge gap inevitably makes Loren, who has always been proud and arrogant, feel a strong sense of frustration.
But after all, he had experienced many storms. He quickly took a deep breath, suppressed the depression in his heart, and said to himself as if he had set a goal.
"Is that the Shadow of the Faceless?"
"You are indeed strong enough, but one day, I will catch up with you!"
Not far away, Lan on the [Heron] glanced at Loren strangely, wondering where he got his confidence.
Compared with the issue of strength, Lan is more concerned about the purpose and identity of [Shadow without Form].
"[Shadow of the Faceless] took the initiative to hunt the sea beasts in the storm to help other mystics pass the trial?"
Lan shook his head and quickly rejected this A conjecture.
She didn’t think there would be anyone on the secret path who would be so selfless.
“Could it be that...his trial mission is to destroy that sea anemone?”
Thinking of this, Lan couldn't help but look shocked.
As an official captain of the Federation, Lan knows more about promotion rituals than ordinary secret path practitioners, so he knows that there are hidden professions in some secret paths.
If you want to find a job in these hidden professions, the trials given by the Secret Sea will be more stringent and more difficult.
Of course, the rewards and gifts received will also be extremely generous.
Lan secretly sighed: "It seems that there is one more famous third-level powerhouse in the Seven Seas."
"Sir Carles said that [The Faceless Shadow] is not the person's true body, but since he appeared in the promotion ritual..."
"In other words, the [The Faceless Shadow] Is his true identity among these captains?”
Lan’s eyes scanned the surrounding sea, preparing to write down the characteristics of these ships.
She didn’t have any special idea in exploring the true identity of [Shadow of the Faceless], just to satisfy her curiosity.
Not long after, Lan's eyes fell on a ship with a dark hull with silver-white lines, and he was greatly surprised.
"This is... [Black Swan]?"
"How did it become like this?"
Lan has a good relationship with Carles and has a good relationship with the demi-human Duran. .
So she has always paid attention to the [Black Swan], and naturally she has seen the portrait of this ship.
However, the [Black Swan] in front of us has changed a lot from before, both in size and momentum.
Even if it was just a projection, it brought a certain sense of oppression to Lan.
“By the way, I remember, there are rumors.”
“Some time ago, it had an encounter with the [Blood Duke] at sea, and luckily escaped into the foggy sea. It is still alive and dead today. Unsure.”
“Could it have had some adventure in the foggy sea?”
At this time, Loren also noticed the black swan sculpture on the bow, and then he suddenly recognized it. out.
"It turns out it's him!"
"I have to ask, how is Mr. Fei Ya doing now..."
In the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Fei Ya gave the thunder pirate group no Little help, Loren will always remember this kindness in his heart.
However, Loren and Lan have not yet waited for the boat to approach.
A unique secret power has come from nowhere.
This is the sign that the trial is over and that he is about to leave the secret sea.
……
……
At the same time.
Several lines of text also appeared in front of Xia En’s eyes.
[Trial mission completed! 】
【The promotion ritual is over! 】
【Hidden secret career: Storm Raider (Level 3)! 】
“Is it really a hidden profession again?”
“But...Storm Reaver?”
With the last experience, Xia En was no longer so surprised.
But he couldn't help but be a little surprised by the name [Storm Reaver].
Captains at sea usually suffer from storms and avoid storms. What does the suffix [predator] mean?
Xia En only had time to think about it casually, and the wave of secret power, which was more turbulent and stronger than before, was continuously poured into his body.
The soul and body are washed together by it, and become stronger and solidified little by little.

In reality.
Xia En opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
A powerful secret force that he had never felt before surged through his body. The terrifying power in his body gave him the illusion that he could crush the ground with just a little force.
Xia En couldn't help but smile.
"Is this what it feels like to be a third-level Mystic?"
"It's really addictive..."
The increase in strength brought about by this promotion is incredible. Big, even more than the previous two promotions combined.
This can also be seen in the overall quality that has soared directly from 0.57 to 0.9.
The hidden profession of [Storm Raider] also surprised him.
