Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 159 Teacher An's Basic Course

"I hope the Border Hunters' pioneering hunter group doesn't arrive too soon..." Chen Qi muttered to himself.

If the hunters were to enter the White Tree Lands and discover his assets there, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If I'm not careful, I could very well get caught, publicly executed, or even sent to court… Chen Qi organized his thoughts:

"Teacher An, I hope you don't encounter a coastal overlord or a ghost ship."

Now we must let the coastal overlord lay low for a while, after all, the coastal overlord is ultimately just a juvenile.

"Hmm... Qi, you must also be careful."

An uneasily looked at Chen Qi.

Although Chen Qi now possesses the strength to face ordinary sea beasts on his own, if he were to encounter a near-shore overlord, he would be instantly gnawed into pieces by the overlord's sharp teeth.

Chen Qi was lucky not to encounter any ferocious sea monsters, but if he did, he would have to master the skills to fight them.

An's short, cat-like paws gripped the staff firmly, and she spun it as if turning a sledgehammer.
"Qi, I have some understanding of fighting deep-sea monsters, and I also know some ways to use spiritual power. If you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation, you can come to me at any time."

Although she majored in magic, she also knew some basic combat skills!

Teacher An's private tutoring session... Chen Qi lowered his head in deep thought.

Although he had skill cards, he found through practice that he still struggled to achieve perfection in many minor details.

An has a unique understanding of spiritual power perception and manipulation.

More than ten years of basic spiritual power control practice, along with his powerful talent, earned An the title of An Aotian.

"Thank you very much, Teacher An."

Chen Qi smiled slightly.
Recently, he has acquired many skill cards and extraordinary items.

Even if you upgrade these skills with spiritual points, it will still take some time to fully master them.

Moreover, he has yet to practice his strongest weapon, the Flesh-Cleaving Bone-Splitting Technique.

Now, clad in the Touch of Ember and the ability to cleave flesh and bones, he possesses an attack power at least comparable to a third-tier Blademaster.

Before the next voyage, he had to complete the training of these skills and weapons... Chen Qi secretly made a plan.

Unfortunately, he could only practice the Touch of Ember and the ability to cut flesh and sever bones in the White Tree Land.

The two chatted for a while longer, and before they knew it, night had fallen and the campfire had grown weak.

"It's late at night,"

An waved her little hand, which looked like a lucky cat, and said with a smile, "See you tomorrow, Qi."

"See you tomorrow."

Chen Qi yawned.

After saying goodbye, exhausted, he followed the newly built stone road to the newly constructed inn in Maro town.

Then, the moment he entered the room, Chen Qi plopped down on the soft bed with a thud.

Hopefully, I can make the most of the time ahead.

Chen Qi turned his head to look at the water sprite by the bow of the boat, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

……

Half a month later, at noon, in the land of white trees.

The sky was gray, and the rolling dark clouds seemed to foreshadow an impending storm.

Chen Qi sat cross-legged on the roots of a tree in the White Tree Land, digesting the knowledge he had gained over the past few days.

At that moment, another notification popped up in front of him.

[You have fully mastered Shadow Footwork. Agility has increased by 8 points. You can now add strength to your feet, achieving even greater movement and more powerful kicks.]

[You have fully mastered the Shadow Armor, and can instinctively concentrate your energy in specific areas of your body to form protective armor against attacks.]

"Finally finished……"

Chen Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

For the past two weeks, he has been extremely well-behaved, living a simple life between home and work every day.

I got up in the morning and went to buy groceries.

Then head to the Land of White Trees to deal with the Will-o'-the-Wisp Fish and the Sea Clouds.

In the afternoon, I practiced my skills, including the use of Flesh Cutter and Ember Touch. In the evening, I ran a restaurant boat to earn money and farm Spirit Points.

Occasionally, I would visit Teacher An to practice my perception of spiritual energy and help her with some trivial matters in Maro Town.

However, these tedious exercises were all very rewarding... Chen Qi checked his panel again.

60 Inspiration, 42 Constitution, 28 Strength, and 37 Agility!
Chen Qi lowered his head again to look at his reflection in the water.

Calm and composed, he has the demeanor of a young master.

Although his external muscle growth was not significant, his internal bones and blood underwent a qualitative strengthening.

Thanks to the extraordinary vegetables and the extraordinary fruits he had obtained before, his physique was now able to contend with a second-tier extraordinary being of the Cup Phase.

He's incredibly energetic right now.

The increase in agility mainly comes from movement-type skill cards, which add a total of 15 points of agility.

His inspiration level didn't improve; it was only 60 points. His natural inspiration level was too high, and unless he obtained the Book of Mirrors item, it would be difficult to improve it further.

The current panel attributes are considered a fairly balanced hexagonal panel.

For a newly promoted second-tier superhuman, this is already quite an impressive attribute.

Judging from his stats alone, he is already capable of fighting against late-stage Tier 2 superhumans, and even Tier 3 superhumans with weak foundations.

If combined with the Touch of Ember and the ability to cleave flesh and break bones, it can even withstand an ordinary third-tier superhuman head-on!
"Perhaps, I can now have a go at Anpeng, who doesn't use powerful spells."

Chen Qi reminisced about these days and An's practice.

Contrary to his expectations, An did not engage him in actual combat, but instead taught him the tedious practical skills of spiritual energy perception.

An originally intended to teach Chenqi meditation, but discovered that Chenqi's inspiration perception had reached an astonishing 60 points!
An sighed from time to time. In her opinion, with Chen Qi's inspiration, he could rank among the top students even in the top class of the Calligraphy Department of the Royal University of Bei.

Unfortunately, Chen Qi has chosen his sole principle and cannot become a calligrapher.

In An's eyes, Chen Qi was still too weak, so she did not conduct any practical training with him, only some basic courses.

What An taught Chen Qi was how to use his powerful spiritual senses, combined with his five senses, to anticipate and predict the enemy's intentions.

With An's training, combined with his perception and dynamic vision, Chen Qi can now predict an enemy's moves before they are even formed.

At this moment, Deep Sea Sprite No. 3 swam over:

"Wakuwaku (Master! Your newspaper!)"

"Ah."

Chen Qi took the newspaper.

These days, because he is fully focused on improving his abilities, he can only learn about things like the little crow and the ghost ship through the newspaper.

I opened the White Dove Times at dawn.

"The Blood Blade Pirate King is seriously ill, and Lady Blood has become the de facto ruler."

"A mysterious whirlpool in the near sea, a super rift leading to another world?"

"Reporter Perdue interviewed the ghost captain, who declared, 'They're slaughtering merchant ships! They're determined to become the kings of the coastal waters!'"

It's all just boring news. Still no news about Little Crow and the others... Chen Qi put away the White Dove Times and turned to look at the borderline Witch Times.

"The Blood Lady is suspected of being bewitched by the Old Woman and murdering her husband, the Blood Emperor!"

"A master chef from the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom teaches you how to savor seafood with your body~"

"Sex and Career Fortune Telling! A fortune telling questionnaire designed by a renowned fortune teller to help you choose the right sex for you."

Chen Qi looked at the Witch Times, which was full of conspiracy theories and borderline news.

Although it has little nutritional value, it has surpassed the sales of the White Dove Times.

With no major news and no discovery of the Flower Witch, sales of the White Dove Times plummeted.

In the tavern of Maro Town, the sales of the Witch's Times have far surpassed those of the White Dove Times.

Chen Qi put down the newspaper. As it stands, the actions of the little crows remain a mystery.

"Woooooooo..."

What was that sound? Chen Qi turned his head and looked into the distance.

On that sea surface, a vast expanse of fresh blood flowed.
