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

Chapter 225 You've won again! Want to try your luck?

[Crack settlement in progress...]

[Crack distortion decreased by 0%, distortion remained unchanged.]

[Victory forged with corpses: You have died 2601 times, more than a thousand times.]

Mouth Master: You have delivered a vicious taunt to your enemies and died five seconds later a total of 101 times!
Pain Enjoyer: During a period of repeated deaths, you, who are stubborn, gradually begin to enjoy the pain of being cut up.

Ascended: During the long battle, your strength has greatly improved. Now you can fight the two versions of yourself from before!

Enrager: You discovered the Blade Witch's fear of books and the Book Witch, and successfully used books to enrage the brutal Blade Witch!
Creative ways to die: You were killed by a total of 130 different techniques. Your way of dying is really cool!

The Witch's Approval: Your spirit and perseverance have earned the witch's approval; you are a legendary trial participant!

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated...

"What kind of strange settlement evaluation is this crack? Why are all sorts of ways to die included?" Chen Qi gasped for breath.

Unexpectedly, he did not die; instead, his body slowly recovered.

No, I need a helper... Chen Qi struggled to move his finger, opened the backpack card, and summoned Deep Sea Sprite No. 3.

Tweet!
A round object popped out of the backpack card.

The moment the deep-sea sea sprite entered the trial grounds, it was immediately frightened by the dense aura of blades and turned to run away.

After running for half a second, it realized it had an owner, rolled back, and gently helped Chenqi up.

"Wakuwaku! (Master! Master! Are you alright!)"

"It's nothing. Right now, I just feel relaxed and comfortable, more relaxed than ever before!"

Chen Qi struggled to sit up, using the knife to support himself on the ground, and then placed the Deep Sea Sprite No. 3 on his lap.

In this crack, previous evaluations are completely unimportant; what matters most is his score!
You should know that the Blade Witch's stats are a whopping 500 points!

The Blade Witch's berserk nature, her memorable moments, and her occasional unpredictable slashes were tormenting him terribly.

However, the feeling of finally clearing the game after going through so much trouble is absolutely amazing!

Chen Qi looked excitedly at his crevice evaluation.

[Your score is 900 points, overall rating S! You are a legendary trial participant!]

With a second-tier body, I achieved an S-rank result in the C-tier trial rift!
Record broken!
Chen Qi rubbed his hands together; even among expert gamers, this was an extremely rare occurrence.

You have obtained a Blade Witch's Treasure Chest. You can choose one of three rewards...

Three choices? Chen Qi frowned.

It must be admitted that the cracks in this trial are quite varied.

Part 1: The Witch's Battle Suit

Second: The Blade Witch's Breathing Technique.

Three: The Everlasting Blade.

Chen Qi silently looked at the three items.

The witch's battle armor? Does it refer to the light armor worn by the Blade Witch?
Can I wear a witch's outfit?
Chen Qi remembered that it was a silver light armor with red paint on both sides of the deck.

Although it's called a witch's battle suit, it's probably a universal design...

But something felt off... Chen Qi's mind raced, hoping to see more specific information...

【Witch's Armor: Possesses strong defensive capabilities and can absorb spiritual energy attacks, thereby reducing the power of most attacks.】

Furthermore, when equipped with this battle suit, the user's blade techniques are enhanced, their charisma is amplified, and they more easily exude the scent of blood.

Chen Qi touched the water sprite and carefully assessed the value of the equipment.

Although it looks good, its strength is not very strong. If it is just about absorbing spiritual energy attacks, then many workshops in Moonstone City can produce equipment that achieves 80% of the effect of this piece of equipment.

For example, the inner armor from Victoria's Workshop or the shirt from Men's House Workshop can be purchased for just 30 million shells, providing you with quite practical and powerful armor.

The same applies to the Blade of Eternal Flame.

The Blade of Eternal Flame is similar to his Black Blade, both possessing high additional attack effects.

However, the flames of the Eternal Blade depend on the user's source of spiritual power; the more spiritual power a user has, the stronger the flames will be.

This weapon is quite rare, but Chen Qi is currently capable of cutting flesh and bones, so there is no need to use a second knife for the time being.

Therefore, there is only one answer left!
Chen Qi checked the effects of the Blade Breathing Technique.

【Blade Breathing Technique Lv1 (Improved Version by Blade Witch):】
Nature/Appearance: Blade
Description: We don't breathe air! We breathe Haki! (Note from the Blade Witch!)
Learning requirements: Mastery of breathing techniques and body-strengthening techniques, a physical fitness level exceeding 40, and strong cardiac endurance.

Effect: The Blade Witch's self-created breathing technique, combining legendary body-forging and breathing techniques, is a special-grade breathing technique.

After practice, your own strength will be increased by 30%, and the spiritual energy required to generate strength will be higher. Furthermore, as your strength increases, your power will increase dramatically!
Furthermore, one can transform energy into a higher-level 'blade energy,' and techniques condensed using this energy will be 50% more powerful than ordinary energy techniques!

Note: Practicing this breathing method will grant a small amount of insight into the nature of blades, as well as a certain degree of killing intent.

Note: After upgrading, practicing this skill will grant you a permanent Qi shield.

Chen Qi quickly scanned the breathing technique before him, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.

A special-grade breathing technique skill card!

This is domineering...

Although the note was strange, the effect was correct.

Breathing techniques are the foundation of strength; the stronger the breathing techniques, the stronger the strength.

Generally speaking, players who specialize in the Qi Power build will choose to learn an E-rank Rift Breathing Technique at Tier 1, and then change their Breathing Technique until Tier 3.

The reason for not changing the breathing technique at the second level is that most of the advanced breathing techniques dropped from D-level and even C-level rifts do not offer much improvement compared to low- and mid-level breathing techniques.

But the advanced breathing method is different!
The special-level breathing technique can be described as a qualitative leap! Once fully mastered, the power of all techniques will increase by at least 30%!!!

However, due to the extreme difficulty in obtaining the special-level breathing technique, players usually only consider it when they reach the third tier.

Chen Qi never expected that he could obtain a special-grade breathing technique in this place, and it was even the Blade Witch special edition!

nice one!
Witch's Armor, Eternal Blade, Breathing Technique... Chen Qi hesitated for a moment, but still chose the Breathing Technique.

"Breathing Technique of the Blade".

With a soft shout from Chen Qi, a bright red card appeared in his hand.

On the back of the card is a bright red, blood-stained blade.

The card depicts a red witch with a ponytail, holding a long sword, standing motionless under a waterfall, practicing.

Is this what the Blade Witch looks like? What an exquisite card.

My constitution is just over forty... Chen Qi rubbed his fingers together and cut his finger with a card.

As blood touches the card, the breathing card slowly dissipates, and a large amount of knowledge floods into the brain.

Digesting this is very difficult... Chen Qi felt the knowledge in his brain.

In terms of difficulty to digest, this skill card is even more difficult than his original spiritual power skill, 'Heart of the Bonfire'!
Another long period of practice...

This skill can be upgraded twice...

Blade Breathing Technique has been added to his skill bar.

Chen Qi checked his current non-professional skills section.

White Mist Breathing Technique, Blade Body Forging Technique - Beginner, Burst, White Dove Perception, Hunter's Eye, Shadow Armor, Heart of the Bonfire, Low-Level Meditation Technique, Candlelight Meditation Technique, Shadow Charm, Shadow Feet, Hound's Pace, Shadow Blade Slash, Blade Breathing Technique...

And his newly mastered blade technique, "Sacrifice my flesh and blood, sever my tendons and bones!"
Currently, his skill set is already quite substantial.

Although he didn't learn many skills, very few of them were repetitive; most were essential skills, and they were mutually supportive.

Especially in terms of inspiration and agility.

It can be said that Chen Qi is already a fairly qualified second-tier transcendent.

If he had to pinpoint a deficiency, he currently lacks two things. One is advanced Qi skills. Therefore, Chen Qi desperately wants to acquire 'Qi Manifestation,' which is the core of many advanced Qi skills. Due to the lack of Qi Manifestation and some advanced Qi techniques, Chen Qi currently only masters offensive Qi moves: Shadow Blade Slash and its derivative moves!
The second is the body-strengthening method, an important source of physical fitness and strength.

His current body-forging method is still a basic body-forging method obtained from an E-level rift.

Chen Qi's current physical condition mainly comes from luxurious nutrition, not from skills.

The physical attributes and strength provided by skills are a huge gap!

However, like the breathing technique, the body tempering method is also a typical example of a D-rank skill card that is too weak, so it is better to learn the third-rank one directly.

Speaking of which, the Blade Breathing Technique is usually a divine card that only third-tier transcendents can obtain...

Chen Qi took a deep breath and silently clicked the upgrade button for the Blade Breathing Technique!
Currently, he has accumulated 10000 spiritual points!

Upgrading to level 2 requires 3000 Spirit Points!

Click twice to upgrade!
[Your Blade Breathing Technique has been upgraded to Lv2. Once fully mastered, you will gain a constant Qi Protection.]

[You don't have enough Spiritual Points. Upgrading from Lv2 to Lv3 requires 20000 Spiritual Points!]

How much? 20000 spiritual points!

Chen Qi couldn't help but show a surprised look.

20000 spiritual points, that's a huge number!
For a second-tier transcendent being to accumulate this number, it might be necessary to clear four C-tier rifts!

Chen Qi rests his chin on his hand.

Although it consumes a lot of energy, this precisely demonstrates the power of the Blade Breathing Technique.

The only difficulty is learning the Blade Breathing Technique, as he is not a Blade Aspect Transcendent.

Without the Blade Witch, his speed of mastering skills will depend on diligent practice every morning and evening!
"well--"

Chen Qi couldn't help but look towards the Blade Witch amidst the smoke of battle:

"Teacher Ren, can we reconcile now? Could you teach me again?"

Chen Qi said jokingly.

The first day of remembering Teacher Ren.

However, in the next instant, the Blade Witch's blurry arm suddenly moved.

A zombie? No way? Is it just the wind? Chen Qi was startled.

This Blade Witch is probably just a projection, and has nothing to do with the real Blade Witch, right?
The Blade Witch from five hundred years ago should already be dead.

"Probably not..." Chen Qi muttered to himself.

Keep in mind that during those two thousand-plus deaths, he mocked the other person while kicking them in the face, and even ridiculed the Blade Witch as illiterate!
Later, due to the Blade Witch's memory function, he had his legs cut off fifty times in a row.

Of course, if it weren't for these taunts, the Blade Witch might not have ended up taking his Blade Release head-on.

Fortunately, the Blade Witch didn't come back to life; however, a notification popped up along with the sound of wind!
[The rift continues to resolve. Congratulations! Because of your S rank, you have triggered the Lucky Moment in the Trial Grounds!]

Before Chen Qi's eyes, five twenty-sided dice reappeared!
These five dice again!
Chen Qi smiled slightly.

Although those five dice caused him to die at least a thousand more times, they also granted him the Blade Breathing Technique.

Please roll your dice; different results will earn you different rewards.

[From 5 to 20:00, there is nothing there! You are the natural inheritor of illusion!]
21 PM - 40 PM! One Blade Aspect skill card!

41-60 points! An extremely rare Blade Aspect skill card!

61-80 points! Select a phase and randomly obtain an artifact from the Trial Grounds' Treasure Vault!

81-99 points! You will have the opportunity to choose freely from the sealed treasure vault in the Trial Grounds!

100 points! Select a phase and obtain an extremely rare skill card! Plus, gain one chance to randomly select any treasure from the sealed treasure vault in the Trial Grounds!!

The Trial Grounds' Treasure Vault: This place also has its own exclusive treasure vault.

Chen Qi's eyes lit up, and his heart pounded.

The rewards for succeeding in this trial were even more abundant than he had imagined.

Chen Qi quickly scanned the list, his gaze involuntarily landing on the last reward.

Five twenty-sided dice!
Roll 100! Another super big reward!

However, why is there an option to skip the turn between 5 PM and 20 PM?

Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water.

Among them, as long as you have more than 80 points, you will have the opportunity to choose any item from the treasure vault.

The thought of randomly picking out a piece of equipment from a dusty treasure vault is incredibly exciting.

However, the probability is not high, only about one in five.

The odds of winning the grand prize are extremely low, only one in ninety-five!
The probability is really low... Chen Qi frowned.

Even with an S rating, one cannot avoid relying on luck when facing a crack in the dice.

Chen Qi silently took out the lucky dice.

Fortunately, he had a cheat code!

A six-sided die can alter the determination of random events in C-order and lower-order cracks, ensuring the best possible outcome regardless of the probability.

A savior for those with bad luck; with a simple move, fortune is in their own hands!
With the Lucky Dice, getting ten consecutive legendary gold dice is no problem, given the chance!

The die he got from Paruna finally found a use!
Although this trial rift is rare, it is still a C-rank rift, which means that it meets the conditions for using a six-sided die!

There is no better place to play the lucky dice than right now.

use!

Chen Qi took a deep breath and silently recited.

The lucky die spun once and disappeared from my hand.

"It should have worked successfully by now..."

Chen Qi rubbed his hands together and tapped the draw button!
Throw!

Five twenty-sided dice spun wildly before slowly falling to the ground.

16、1、5、3、15点！
Hiss! The three numbers in the middle made Chen Qi gasp.

However, soon a six-sided die flashed in the air, and immediately all the twenty-sided dice began to spin wildly!

Under the force of the six-sided dice, these twenty-sided dice began to spin wildly, and eventually, under the rapid spinning, they all turned into 20 points!
May the twenty dice roll your favor, traveler from afar!

Five 20s! 100 points!
"Is this the power of the lucky dice?!" Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Congratulations! You've won the top prize!

[Trial ended!]

[You are the third person to pass this trial! (Note: You can leave the rift once more than half of the participants have cleared it.)]

You will travel to a forgotten land, rest for a while, and choose your ultimate treasure!

With the sudden burst of inspiration, the world around me crumbled instantly!
The fallen corpse of the Blade Witch slowly dissipated in the wind.

Amidst a cloud of blood mist, Chen Qi and the Deep Sea Sprite found themselves in a sealed-off place, much like a treasure room meticulously crafted by a collector.

Inside the lobby, the space is exceptionally spacious, and the towering dome is carved with intricate and exquisite patterns, seemingly telling the story of past glories and legends.

A faint musty smell permeated the air, intertwining with the unique aroma of ancient wooden structures, creating an indescribable sense of history.

On the surrounding stone cabinets, various ancient props and weapons were displayed.

"I'm the third person to clear the game? Who were the first two?"

Chen Qi silently stood up, stomped his foot on the ground, and looked around.

Thank you everyone for your monthly tickets and subscriptions!! Thanks (ω)!!!
