Chapter 207 Overall quality 4.5! New talent [Swallow Evolution! 】
The moment after the light curtain appears.
The familiar and turbulent wave of secret power came again, washing away Xia En's body and soul continuously.
In an instant, Xia En's perception of the surrounding mysterious power became much clearer, and every cell, every muscle, and every secret power in his body was cheering for joy.
It seems that every time you breathe, you can absorb the secret power around you.
It also caused all the vitality in his body to burst out, pushing this body to transform in a more powerful direction.
But it is different from the previous promotions.
This time, Xia En noticed that the wave was not only coming towards him, but also rushing away in other directions in the light.
It is not difficult to guess that they are other secret pathers who survived the ritual.
But...
Xia En clearly felt that the wave rushing towards him was particularly solid and surging.
This gift is almost more abundant than the other Secret Pathers combined.
A enlightenment arose in Xia En’s heart.
This should be the benefit of getting a very high rating.
The secret wayfarer with a higher evaluation should receive more gifts from the [Secret Sea] than those with a lower evaluation.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Xia En's trial tasks were much more difficult than those of ordinary Mystics.
Soon, a new mutation occurred.
Gradually, Xia En vaguely sensed an extremely vast, majestic and ancient will from this wave.
Just touching a corner of Him reminds people of the vastness of the universe and the bottomless abyss.
“This is... [The Will of the Secret Sea]?”
Shane was thoughtful.
This group of will does not have any actual form, but will show different images in the eyes of different people.
And in Xia En's perception...
At first glance, it looks like an endless ocean wave, with mountains upon layers, never ending.
Immediately, He transformed into a giant dragon-like snake covered with dark blue scales.
His body is covered with colorful wings, which are inexplicably similar to the "Ying Long" in Xia En's impression.
Soon, the giant snake disappeared, replaced by a cold round stone pillar.
The stone pillars are clinging to dark thorns, and patterns like totems are drawn on them.
Then, the totem pillar turned into an old man riding a starry horse and holding a spear that shone like stars.
His cloak is blue, and his whole body is shining like a galaxy. In other words, He is the galaxy itself!
On His face, there is only one single eye.
At this time, the one-eyed old man looked at Xia En.
Seemingly getting some satisfactory answer, He laughed loudly, and then threw the spear in his hand——
It penetrated Xia En's body in an instant.
At the same time, deep in Xia En's mind, an eye made of faint blue lines suddenly opened.
Then, everything in front of him shattered like a dream.
【You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! 】
【Your personal attributes have increased! 】
【Comprehensive quality: 3.4→4.5! 】
【Unlock the exclusive talent of "Deep Sea Devourer": Body of the Deep Sea! 】
[Quality: Precious]
[Description: Your body can adapt to the environment of the deep sea, absorb oxygen directly from the sea water, and greatly reduce the influence of water pressure and water temperature. 】
[The more deep-sea creatures you swallow, the higher your body will adapt to the deep sea, and you will even be able to continuously draw secret power from the deep sea. 】
【Furthermore, your body will gradually exert pressure on deep-sea creatures, making it easier to hunt them. 】
【You can freely control this pressure. 】
【Embrace the deep sea, embrace the future! 】
……
……
【Unlock the exclusive talent of "Deep Sea Devourer": Devour Evolution! 】
[Quality: Epic]
[Description: Effect 1. Overeating - your digestive system has undergone a transformation, you eat an astonishing amount of food, and your digestion speed is extremely terrifying. 】
【But at the same time, you can also fully absorb the nutrients in food to strengthen yourself and heal injuries. 】
【Effect 2. Devour, then evolve - when devouring different prey, you will gain permanent gains based on the ability of the prey. 】
【Change is a good thing! 】
【After each hunting and devouring, the professional compatibility can be slightly improved. 】
[Career compatibility: 0/100]
[Note: You can choose the direction of your own evolution. 】
【The above effects can be synchronized with "Projection Body", and have a 10 times bonus to deep sea creatures. 】
……
……
After reading these words, Xia En's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.
It is indeed a ritual to advance to the fourth level!
The comprehensive quality improvement of 1.1 is a huge leap beyond any previous promotion.
The two exclusive talents of [Deep Sea Devourer] made Xia En feel a little weird.
The previous [Deep Sea Body], simply put, gives Xia En's body the ability to move in the deep sea.
Under the deep sea, it has always been a restricted area for humans.
Since ancient times, only a handful of mystics have been able to dive and explore.
In this era, unlocking such a talent is undoubtedly a great help to the average secret seeker.
But for Xia En, the meaning of [Deep Sea Body] is not that great.
He could have used [Deep Sea Diving] to explore the deep sea without worrying about the life and death of [Projected Body].
——The worst case scenario is to reopen!
Under normal circumstances, there is basically no need for Xia En to risk his body in the sea.
But to say it is useless, [Deep Sea Body] seems to be somewhat useful.
It can help [Projection Body] reduce the impact of the deep sea environment, and can also draw secret power from the sea water.
It is equivalent to making a small version enhancement to [Projection Body] again.
Moreover, if necessary, Xia En's body can also go to the sea and fight side by side with the [Projection Body] to achieve two-on-one justice.
It can only be said to be useful, but not that useful.
It seems a bit tasteless.
But suddenly, a bold idea came to Xia En's mind.
“[Ship Soul Synchronization] can synchronize my talent to the ship.”
"What would happen if [Black Swan] or [Diamond Star] were given the talent of [Deep Sea Body]?"
Thinking of this, Xia En suddenly became energetic.
Looking at the talent of [Deep Sea Body], it has become much more pleasing to the eye.
However, what Xia En really values is actually the second exclusive talent [Swallowing Evolution]!
The name of this talent is simple and crude.
The effect is clear at a glance -
Swallow, then evolve!
This is obviously also the core talent of the [Deep Sea Devourer] profession.
The first effect [Gluttony] has certain side effects, making his food intake greatly increase and making it difficult to be satisfied.
But its positive effects can completely make people ignore this side effect.
Think about the sea monsters in the deep sea, such as big octopuses, big crabs, and big whales. Which one is not a huge existence?
Only one with a large enough appetite can eat all these sea monsters.
"Gulu..."
Just thinking of those sea monsters, Xia En couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and a strong sense of hunger arose in his belly. Clearly, this talent has begun to take its toll on him.
"So, after hunting sea monsters in the future, not only can you extract [Secret Sea Crystal] to gain talents, but you can also use [Swallow Evolution] to extract it again?"
"It really doesn't even leave any residue behind. Ah..."
"Isn't this more capitalist than a capitalist?"
Xia En secretly complained.
Another advantage of this talent is that it acts simultaneously on [Projection Body].
This means——
If he encounters some prey that cannot be taken away in the future, Xia En can use [Projection Body] to eat them clean directly under the sea.
Being thrifty and not wasting is always a good virtue!
“It’s just...looking at the nature of this profession, it seems to encourage me to take the initiative to devour the big guys in the deep sea?”
“[The Will of the Secret Sea] does this, is there anything else? Intention? ”
Just when Xia En was thinking silently.
A few more lines of prompts appeared.
【Because you received an "unprecedented" evaluation in this trial, you can take away three additional pieces of loot from the following items. 】
【1. Dusk Black Pearl】
【2. Pirate Crown (Broken)】
[3.1000 ancient gold coins (worth about 2000 gold dragon coins)]
[4. The Western King’s Great Axe (weakened version)]
[5. The Wind Queen’s Spell Book (Level 4) 】
【6. Benjamin’s Space Ring (abridged version)】
【7. Sea Beast Heart in the Pirate Treasure House (Level 5)】
[8. Tiffany’s intimate clothing (complete set)]
[9. The wreckage of Wanchuan Island (three cubic meters)]
“…Huh?”
Xia En was stunned for a moment.
Although he had learned from Hui Yun before that some of the props in the ritual could be taken out.
But little did he know that the [unprecedented] evaluation could actually take away three items!
[Twilight Black Pearl] No need to think about it, Xia En will definitely be taken away.
Even if he can no longer be used, it can definitely bring a lot of improvement to the crew on the ship.
Whether it is to improve their combat power at critical moments, or to help them feel the state after promotion, it is excellent.
The remaining seven trophies made Xia En look quite strange.
Each one is either broken, weakened or deleted.
What does this mean?
Just after this question popped up in his mind, a few lines of text appeared.
【This promotion ritual is not real history. 】
【The loot produced is limited by the Mystic's current level, and there are certain differences from the original version. 】
[Everything is subject to the actual product, please understand. 】
Xia En was stunned. He just thought about it casually. How could he really get a reply from [Secret Sea]?
And look at the tone...
It's quite polite!
Xia Enke remembers that in Augustine’s words, [The Will of the Secret Sea] is an absolutely cold existence, like that kind of artificial intelligence.
But now it seems that's not the case?
The one-eyed old man's laughter just now seemed to prove this point from the side.
At this moment, Xia En has new guesses about the images that just appeared -
They are most likely the [Will of the Secret Sea] at different times. The image that people regard as.
It can be said that it is people's cognition that shapes the image of [The Will of the Secret Sea].
"Is it because of the existence of the [Eye of the Secret Sea] that He treats me differently?"
After concentrating his thoughts, Xia En focused on these lines of explanation again, silently in his heart nod.
After all, this is just a promotion ritual to break through to the fourth level.
If you bring out a piece of loot casually, which is the seventh or eighth level, even not many secret pathers will choose to brush this copy repeatedly to obtain the maximum benefit.
Having such a super-standard secret treasure as [Twilight Black Pearl] is already an exaggeration.
Other loot items are generally weakened to a certain extent, which is reasonable.
When he saw options 8 and 9, Xia En couldn't hold himself any longer.
Option 9 can only be said to be somewhat commemorative.
Option 8 reminds Xia En of the experience of getting some strange trophies during [Deep Sea Scuba Diving].
It seems that [Secret Sea Will] doesn’t like [Truth Society] very much?
After thinking for a moment, Xia En first locked on the [Pirate Crown] as the second trophy.
Based on how he felt after putting on the crown, it is not difficult to guess——
This crown is not just a decoration, but also an extraordinary relic, which may have some unique properties. Function.
As for the last trophy, Xia En was a little confused.
The options in the middle don't seem bad, and except for ancient gold coins, they can all be quickly converted into timely combat power.
What Xia En is particularly concerned about is actually [Benjamin's space ring].
This thing feels like a blind box.
It is possible to get good things, but it is also possible to get nothing.
After a brief hesitation, Xia En remembered another thing and asked from his heart.
"Theoretically, [Sky Serpent] can be considered an item. Can I take it with me?"
Hearing this question, the will in the dark paused.
【No. 】
【This "Sky Serpent" is not a real ship, it is just a projection in history. 】
【Its ship spirit is just a simulated personality. 】
【Bringing it into reality, there will be unpredictable distortions. 】
Xia En sighed, not actually surprised.
Since the ship spirit of the [Sky Serpent] has sprouted, it means that, to a certain extent, it is already a living creature.
The difficulty for Xia En to take it away is no different from taking away a living NPC.
Xia En didn’t have much hope at first, he just wanted to take advantage of [Secret Sea Will] to talk and consult.
However, just when he was about to choose the trophy.
[Although you cannot take away the "Sky Serpent", you can take away one of its components. 】
【This component will contain its memory of this trial ritual. 】
【Perhaps, this memory will take root one day. 】
【It’s just that taking away the components requires a share of the loot. Are you sure you want to do this? 】
Hearing this, Xia En’s eyes lit up without any hesitation.
"I'm sure!"
Even if it took only a short time for Xia En and the [Sky Serpent] to come up with it, he has already regarded this ship as his partner!
As long as there is still a chance, Xia En doesn't want to give it up.
Furthermore, Xia En has already made a lot of money through this promotion.
He felt it was not a loss to trade these castrated props for a chance to see the [Sky Serpent] again in the future!
After hearing Xia En's reply, an invisible force wiped across the previous panel, and new options appeared out of thin air.
[10. The rudder of the "Sky Serpent"]
The next moment.
Xia En opened his eyes.
The yellow sand-filled [Sand Island] came into his sight again.
