Chapter 207: Overall quality 45! New talent [Swallow Evolution! 】
Chapter 207 Comprehensive 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.
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 I breathe, I can absorb the secret power around me.
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 toward him, but also rushing away in other directions in the light.
It is not difficult to guess that they are other mystical practitioners 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 that of all the other Mystic Pathgoers combined.
Shaan En understood something in his heart.
This should be the benefit of getting a very high rating.
The secret wayfarers with higher evaluations should receive more gifts from the [Secret Sea] than those with lower evaluations.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Xia En’s trial tasks were much more difficult than those of ordinary Mystics before.
Soon, new changes occurred.
Gradually, Xia En vaguely sensed an extremely vast, majestic and ancient will from this wave.
Just touching a corner of Him makes people think of the vastness of the universe and the bottomless abyss.
“This is...[The Will of the Secret Sea]?”
Xia En 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, He looks like an endless ocean wave, with mountains upon mountains and never ending.
Immediately, He transformed into a giant dragon-like snake with dark blue scales.
His body is covered with colorful wings, which are inexplicably similar to the "Yinglong" in Xia En's impression.
Soon, the giant snake disappeared and was 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 with light like a star. In other words, He is the star itself!
On His face, there was 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.
Soon, everything in front of me shattered like a dream.

…
…
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 forward, surpassing any previous promotion.
The two exclusive talents of [Devourer of the Deep] 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 talents is undoubtedly a great help to ordinary mystics.
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 it!
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 a small version enhancement of [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 justice in a two-on-one fight.
It can only be said to be useful, but not that useful.
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—
devour and then evolve!
This is obviously also the core talent of the [Deep Sea Devourer] profession.
The first effect is [Gluttony], which has certain side effects, making his food intake greatly increase and making it difficult to satisfy him.
But its positive effects can completely make people ignore this side effect.
Think about the sea monsters in the deep sea, such as giant octopuses, giant crabs, and giant whales. Which one is not a huge existence?
Only with a large enough appetite can one 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. Apparently, 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 extract it again with [Devour Evolution]?”
“There really isn’t even a bit of dregs left…”
“Isn’t this more capitalist than capitalist?”
Xia En complained secretly.
Another advantage of this talent is that it works simultaneously on [Projection Body].
ˆ also means—
If he encounters some prey that cannot be taken away in the future, Xia En can completely use [Projection Body] to eat them clean under the sea surface.
Diligence, frugality and no waste have always been a good virtue!
"It's just that...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, does it have any other purpose?”
While Xia En was thinking silently.
Several more lines of prompts appeared.
Since you received an "unprecedented" rating 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 approximately 2000 gold dragon coins)】
【4.The Great Axe of the King of the West (weakened version)】
【5. Wind Queen’s Spell Book (Level 4)】
【6.Benjamin’s Space Ring (abridged version)】
【7. Sea Beast Heart in Pirate Treasure House (Level 5)】
【8. Tiffany's intimate clothing (complete set)】
【9. The wreckage of Wanchua Island (three cubic meters)】
"…ah?"
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 he didn’t know that the [unprecedented] evaluation could actually take away three items!
【Twilight Black Pearl】Don't even think about it, Xia En will definitely take it away.
Even if it 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 status after promotion, it is excellent.
The remaining seven trophies made Xia En look quite strange.
One by one, they are 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 En 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 this is 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 had new guesses about the images that just appeared -
They are most likely the images that people regard as [The Will of the Secret Sea] at different times.
It can be said that it is people’s cognition that creates 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?”
Xia En calmed down his thoughts and focused on these lines of explanation again, nodding silently in his heart.
After all, this is just a promotion ritual to break through to the fourth level.
If you bring out a piece of loot casually, it is a seventh-level or eighth-level loot. Even not many secretists 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 trophies have generally been 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 actually reminded Shane of the experience of getting some strange trophies during [Deep Sea Diving].
So 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.
Judging from how he felt after putting on the crown, it’s not difficult to guess—
This royal crown is not just a decoration, but also an extraordinary relic that may have some unique functions.
As for the last trophy, Xia En was a little confused.
The options in the middle all seem to be good, 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 from a bamboo basket.
After a brief hesitation, Xia En remembered another thing and asked in 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.
【Can't. 】
【This "Sky Serpent" is not a real ship, it is just a projection from history. 】
[Its ship soul 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 spoils of war.
【Although you cannot take away the "Serpentis", 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 am sure!"
Even though it took only a short time for Xia En and the Sky Serpent to come up with it, he 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 use these castrated props in exchange 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"】
next moment.
Shane opened his eyes.
The yellow sand-filled [Sand Island] came into his sight again.
