Chapter 207 Overall Quality 45! New Talent [Devouring Evolution! ]
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.
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 this is different from 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 Secret Pathers combined.
A realization arose in Xia En's heart.
This should be the benefit of having extremely high ratings.
Secret Pathers 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.
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]?"
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, He looks like an endless ocean wave, with mountains upon mountains and 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 and was replaced by a cold round stone pillar.
Dark thorns cling to the stone pillars, 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 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 instantly.
At the same time, deep in Xia En's mind, an eye composed of faint blue lines suddenly opened.
Then, everything in front of him 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 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 so 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 that 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 two-on-one justice.
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 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 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 big octopuses, big crabs, and big 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.
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 extract it again with [Devouring Evolution]?"
"There really isn't even a bit of scum 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].
That 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, does it have any other purpose?"
Just when Xia En was thinking silently.
Several more lines of prompts appeared.
[Because you received an "unprecedented" evaluation in this trial, you can take away three additional trophies 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 Ax of the Western King (weakened version)]
[5. 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 (full set)]
[9. The wreckage of Wanchuan Island (three cubic meters)]
"……ah?"
Shane 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't use it now, 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.
But the remaining seven trophies made Xia En's expression rather 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 current level of the Mystic Path, 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 so polite!
Xia En could remember that in Augustine's words, [The Will of the Secret Sea] was 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 had new guesses about the images that had appeared just now——
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 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 calming down his thoughts, Xia En focused on these lines of explanation again, nodding silently in his mind.
After all, this is just a promotion ritual to break through to the fourth level.
If you just take out a loot of the seventh or eighth rank, many secret pathers will choose to repeatedly brush this dungeon to get the most benefits.
It is already exaggerated to have such an over-sized secret treasure as [Dusk Black Pearl].
It is reasonable that other loots are generally weakened to a certain extent.
When seeing options 8 and 9, Shane was really a little bit overwhelmed.
Option 9 can only be said to have some commemorative significance.
Option 8 reminds Shane of the experience of getting some strange loot during [Deep Sea Diving].
So it seems that [Secret Sea Will] doesn't like [Truth Society] very much?
After thinking for a while, Shane first locked [Pirate Crown] as the second loot.
Based on his feeling after wearing the crown, it is not difficult to guess that -
This crown is not just a decoration, but also an extraordinary relic, perhaps with some unique functions.
As for the last loot, Shane was a little entangled.
The options in the middle all seem to be good, and except for the ancient gold coins, they can all be quickly converted into timely combat power.
What Shane is particularly concerned about is actually [Benjamin's Space Ring].
This thing feels like a blind box.
It is possible to get something good, or it is possible to get nothing.
After a brief hesitation, Shane remembered another thing and asked in his heart.
"Theoretically, [Serpentis] is also an item. Can I take it away?"
Hearing this question, the will in the dark paused.
[No. ]
[This "Serpentis" is not a real ship, but only a projection in history. ]
[Its ship soul is also just a simulated personality. ]
[Bringing it into reality will cause unpredictable distortion. ]
Shane sighed, and it was not surprising in his heart.
Since the ship soul of [Serpentis] has sprouted, it means that, to some extent, it is already a living thing.
The difficulty of taking it away by Shane was no different from taking away a living NPC.
Shane didn't have much hope, he just wanted to take advantage of the [Secret Sea Will]'s good talk and consult.
However, just when he was about to choose the spoils.
[Although you can't take 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 and sprout one day. ]
[However, taking the component will consume a share of the spoils. Are you sure you want to do this? ]
Hearing this, Shane's eyes lit up, without any hesitation.
"I'm sure!"
Even though Shane and [Sky Serpent] had only been thinking for a short time, he had already regarded this ship as his partner!
As long as there was a glimmer of possibility, Shane didn't want to give it up.
Besides, Shane had already made a lot of money in this promotion ritual.
He felt it was worth it to exchange these castrated props for a chance to see the [Serpentis] again in the future!
After hearing Shane's reply, an invisible force swept across the previous panel, and new options appeared out of thin air.
[10. Rudder of the [Serpentis]]
The next moment.
Shane opened his eyes.
The [Sand Island], which was covered with yellow sand, came into his sight again.
