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

Chapter 325 Ascending to Legend, Hunter and Monster!

"Great stuff!" Chen Qi excitedly reached out and picked up the mirror.

This is a dressing mirror with a gold rim.

The Witch's Lies: Dressing Mirror
Nature and form: lamp
Description: A genius sealing artifact forged by the Lamp Witch using relics of the Lamp Witch in order to hunt down the Ice Witch!
Function: In exchange for "telling the truth and losing spiritual power", one can obtain an opportunity to divine the whereabouts of another person.

Note: The higher the rank of the person being divined, the higher the rank of the person bearing the consequences must also be.

Note: According to observations, repeated use of this item can generate an irresistible curiosity, unconsciously leading to curiosity about all unknown things.

Note from the Witch of the Lamp: Curiosity, curiosity is the purpose of life! It is the true meaning of our existence!

A witch's relic that even non-witches can use! Chen Qi was unexpectedly excited.

I never expected there would be such a good thing.

Fen could hardly hide her joy.

To stop the Black Whale Gang from destroying the Witch Sea, she needs to open the Witch's Coffin.

To open the witch's coffin, she needs at least five witch relics.

According to the information she had previously gathered, the witch's relics were all in the hands of powerful forces and were extremely difficult to obtain!
And they actually found the Lamp Witch's relics on an exploration ship!
This can be described as a rather amazing unexpected gain!
"Does this mirror belong to the newspaper?"

Chen Qi looked at Loren, who was looking down, and asked a question.

The White Dove Newspaper is the only organization in the Witch Sea, besides the Bei Kingdom Meteorological Bureau, that possesses a large number of forbidden creations of the Lamp.

Loren did not deny it, but gently agreed.

"really."

Without further ado, Chen Qi continued his search for spoils.

Apart from the heavy mechs that Dia couldn't take with him, there was nothing particularly important on the entire ship.

Considering that the ship would need to return to the Rift Sea, Chen Qi only took the items and gold coins that could be sold for money.

The total value of these gold coins is approximately 30 million shell coins.

That's about it... Chen Qi finished counting and said:

"knock off!"

"Ok!"

Finn nodded, packed the things into a large sack, and tossed it onto their little houseboat!
Grab it and run!

Good harvest!

"Goodbye! Everyone!"

A smile played on Chen Qi's lips as he boarded the boat, carrying a bag full of spoils and facing the sea breeze.

Goodbye, everyone! Be careful on your way home!

Fen, with light steps, like a thief returning with a full load of loot, waved to the crowd and boarded the houseboat.

Return home!

……

……

The group kept their heads down; the Black Hunter had been gone for five minutes, but they still hadn't looked up.

Black Hunters, they let them go so easily.

Then a woman wearing a white jumpsuit, a coat, goggles, and long, wavy blonde hair boarded the ravaged ship.

This person is none other than Rose, the leader of the Meteorological Bureau of the Witch Seashell Kingdom and the messenger of natural disasters!
The messenger of natural disaster adjusted his hat and looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

The operation to hunt down the Black Hunter failed.

However, the weather bureau's failure actually brought her great joy.

In a corner of the ship lay their long-missing investigator, Kigg.

Apart from that, the A-rank rift magic network was not out of control, but was effectively dealt with!
Looking at the people still alive before her, Rose, the messenger of the Scourge, crossed her arms and replied:
"You guys are really lucky to have encountered the Magic Network and still survived."

Everyone remained silent.

Although they were unwilling to accept it, they had to admit that they were really lucky.

If they were pirates from the Sea God Pirates, they would all die.

"The origin of the magic network..."

The Messenger of Calamity lowered her head and looked at Anne, her most valued student, who was standing at her feet.

"You lost, Anne, you lost to the Black Hunter..."

Rose, the messenger of the Cataclysm, curled her lips into a smirk, a hint of mockery in her expression.

Ann once told her that the Black Hunter would be defeated by her!

But now, he's paralyzed here, unable to do anything.

Rose, the messenger of natural disasters, quietly awaits Ann's rebuttal.

Her student, though not talkative, was exceptionally competitive.

It was precisely because of this strong will that she was able to possess such great power at the third tier.

The Messenger of Calamity also believes that the student she has chosen will one day become one of the strongest people in the world, surpassing the Black Hunter.

However, this time, Ann did not respond to her with defiant words as she usually did.

An, lying on the ground, turned his head with difficulty and looked at the distant sea, his gaze lingering for a long time.

……

……

One day later, on Lantern Moon Island.

Chen Qi stood atop the dragon head of the near-shore overlord, cautiously navigating into the heart of the whirlpool.

He quickly found a suitable location, the center of a medium-sized 100-meter vortex.

"This place will do..."

Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water, a strong thirst welling up from his body!
He arrived here without informing Finn and Brie.

Chen Qi prepared to secretly get promoted, keeping it a secret from Fen, to give her a surprise.

Brie is still repairing the ship, and Finn is still refining the potion.

Logically, Chen Qi should rest for a while before arriving here, recuperating and resting before completing the promotion.

However, he inexplicably felt that his body cells were becoming increasingly thirsty and craving energy.

At that moment, a notification popped up.

Your body is suffering from the side effect of the witch's potion: "thirst."

[Thirst: Your body craves the satisfaction of its desires! It yearns for transcendence! It craves an intense and fierce battle!]

The witch's potion... Chen Qi gritted his teeth.

He almost forgot that all the potions the Flower Witch was currently forging had significant side effects.

Chen Qi stretched his neck.

However, it was precisely this intense desire that enabled him to achieve his ascension to legend.

Chen Qi opened the bag and poured the extraordinary bait he had prepared in advance into the whirlpool in front of him.

Boom! Boom!
Lured by the bait, more and more ferocious and terrifying sea creatures began to converge on the whirlpool.

At the center of the vortex, plus a large number of monsters!

The time has come!

Chen Qi excitedly took out his Deep Sea Hunter job card, and then suddenly used his long sword to cut open his own arm.

A large amount of blood flowed from the arm, completely staining the card.

As blood and cards came into contact, the Deep Sea Hunter class card unleashed unprecedented spiritual power! Like a vast ocean!
At the same time, the hunter on the card seemed to come alive, and under the influence of spiritual power, he used the air to emit a thick fog of murderous aura!
Crimson blood energy stained the entire sea! At the same time, under the influence of this blood energy, the sea creatures near the whirlpool all turned bloodshot and went mad!
Immediately afterwards, the Deep Sea Hunter Card, which was suspended in the air, began to unleash an unprecedented and terrifying power, like a storm!
"Digestion!"

Without hesitation, Chen Qi opened his hand and grasped the card directly.

With his powerful grip, he crushed the card, transforming it into an even greater force that seeped into his blood and struck his soul!

Chen Qi's brain vibrated continuously, and a muffled thunderous roar suddenly resounded throughout his body as scorching hot spiritual energy struck his torso!

Boom! Boom!
Unlike previous changes, this promotion not only permeated his blood but also struck his heart and impacted the depths of his soul!

Chen Qi took off his clothes, revealing his upper body.

His muscles were only slightly bulging, but their color was like cast steel, radiating intense heat! Power surged forth, as if he could transform into a terrifying monster in the next instant.

At this moment, he could feel that he was not at the center of the vortex, but that he himself was at the center of the vortex!

boom!
In that instant, Chen Qi felt strongly that his body had entered a new realm.

With enough food, his physique can grow wildly again, just like a newborn baby!

His body has been elevated.

After the physical body is cast, the next step is to cast the soul.

"Roar……"

Chen Qi opened his mouth, and his teeth became incredibly sharp, oozing blood, making him look like a hungry beast.

A powerful urge filled his mind! A mind set on becoming a monster!
Abandoning human flesh and blood, it transformed into a slimy mother tree that reproduces infinitely and craves pleasure!

They gave up human flesh and blood in exchange for deep-sea tentacles that can roam the ocean and reproduce endlessly!

They abandoned human flesh and blood in exchange for the shadowy, free, and formless body of the Shadow Demon!

They gave up their human flesh and blood in exchange for the indestructible body of a dragon that soars through the sky!

In that instant, every muscle in his body seemed to have its own thoughts, yearning to evolve and twist into a 'monster'!
It was as if countless terrifying and twisted monsters were tempting him, enticing him to become a new kind of killing monster...

"Huh, huh..."

Chen Qi clenched his fists, resisting this desire, which was several times more painful than he had imagined.

He didn't know how much time had passed when a notification popped up in front of him.

[You have acquired advanced Blade Aspect Comprehension.]

Bang!
Suddenly, a flame slowly ignited before his eyes, dispelling the allure of the countless monsters...

And this tiny flame, carrying countless spiritual energies, gently brushed against his body like the tender blessing hand of a goddess.

It was neither cold nor warm, but it soothed his anxious heart.

After a long while, Chen Qi regained consciousness, reached out, grasped the tiny flame, and swallowed it.

call--

A tranquil sea breeze blew by.

The monstrous desire that was swelling infinitely in Chen Qi's heart was temporarily suppressed by the light of the flames.

His body and his heart gradually returned to peace, and at the same time, his spiritual energy reached a completely new level.

You have attained advanced understanding of the Lamp Form.

Your spiritual energy has been elevated.

Chen Qi snapped out of his daze, took out his watch, and glanced at the time.

Three hours have passed in the brief instant that just occurred to him.

The vortex of spiritual energy above the sea lasted for three hours.

His entire body was enveloped by a spiritual energy field as large as a mountain, making him appear like a giant dragon, sacred and inviolable.

You have ascended to Legendary status, becoming a terrifying hunter of the high seas.

Chen Qi looked down at his body, which had once been thin and weak, but now was as strong as steel.

Your Constitution has increased by 30 points, your Strength by 30 points, your Inspiration by 50 points, and your Agility by 20 points.

A total of 130 points of bonus...

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Qi unleashed even greater power than before.

Moreover, this is only temporary. As a Blade Master, with the major breakthrough in his 'upper limit,' it's only a matter of time before his body rivals that of a dragon!
Chen Qi smiled, stretched his body, and then carefully examined his new profession.

Deep Sea Monster
Nature/Appearance: Lamp, Blade
Description: Hunt down those monsters! Let their blood nourish our flesh and reshape our souls!
Passive Talents:

Hunter's Comprehension: Your Blade Aspect Comprehension is high, allowing you to learn legendary Blade Aspect techniques. Additionally, you will be able to digest 'Hunter' related skill cards more quickly.

The Flame of the Lantern: You gain advanced understanding of the Lantern Aspect and are blessed by it. In your heart, there will always be a flame that can help you resist unimaginable mental attacks, as well as divination and tracking.

Monster's Desire: Your will is strong, your flesh and blood have been reforged. Under the illumination of the lantern's flame, no distortion caused by blood, spirit, weapons, soul, potions, etc., can corrupt your will! Moreover, these distortions will ultimately succumb to you!
You are not immune to these aberrations, you transcend them!

Chen Qi looked at the three passive skills.

Hunter's Fire provides Blade Aspect Insight, and Lantern Fire provides Lantern Aspect Insight; both are passive abilities for the Spirit Defense type.

But the monster's desire was even stronger than he had imagined.

Simply put, this talent, if manipulated properly, allows him to possess the abilities of a blood demon without having to bear the cost of being afraid of sunlight.

To be precise, not only that, this talent also grants immunity to most of the negative consequences of forbidden creations.

This is a god-tier talent for the monster build... Chen Qi thought to himself.

These three talents will form the key to his subsequent system.

Chen Qi then checked the 'Deep Sea Hunter' job quest.

You have received the class quest 'Monster Hunter':
Monster Hunter:
Mission objective: Every two weeks, you need to mark a target and then defeat a monster that could potentially destroy the Witch Sea and the coastal city!

Mission Rewards: Abundant Inspiration Points, Blade Inspiration, Lamp Inspiration.

Note: The Inspiration of the Blade and the Inspiration of the Lamp can accelerate the learning of skill cards or grant the user a liberation that strengthens themselves.

Note: The stronger the enemy you hunt, the greater the reward.

Chen Qi checked the mission objective.

This mission is quite special. Due to the modifications made by the Deep Sea Hunter, the mission of this card is highly tied to the Witch Sea.

Essentially, it's roughly equivalent to a lower-level version of the 'career advancement task'.

The task is triggered once every two weeks... Chen Qi took a deep breath.

However, before he is fully formed, it will be quite difficult to complete this task.

After all, monsters capable of destroying the city of the Witch Sea are not common.

At that moment, Chen Qi felt a surge of heat in his heart.

Your Hunter's Ember enhances your class quests, and upon completing a quest, you will also gain a special 'Inspiration' Hunter's Flame.

Hunter's Fire: The Hunter's Fire is an inspiration that allows you to enter a dreamlike state, in a sea of ​​spiritual energy, to help you break through the skills of Blade and Lamp phases, or to comprehend and combine new skills.

Note: This Hunter's Fire can also be considered 'Inspiration of the Lamp' or 'Inspiration of the Blade', used to enhance skill cards.

Hunter's Fire... Chen Qi's eyes lit up.

Hunter Ember's latest hint was actually an enhancement quest.

It can fuse skills and break through the upper limit of skills... Chen Qi stroked his chin.

Typically, this kind of skill fusion and breakthrough in skill limits requires a lot of practice and knowledge accumulation!
Hunter's Fire, on the other hand, can save a lot of time in completing this process.

Undoubtedly, this reward is much more powerful than the original one.

"Not bad, not bad!" Chen Qi calmed down his excited emotions.

His body is not what it used to be!

Next, we will build the system's capabilities based on the core talent 'Monster's Desire'.

Wait! Chen Qi looked at his Monster Desire talent.

Although it's called Monster Desire, this talent should actually be called 'Human Desire'.

A typical monster build is prone to going out of control and pursues complete physical evolution.

However, this talent is different from the normal 'monster build' talent. In essence, it suppresses the effects of "abnormality" on the body and mind, forcibly maintaining the body within the 'human' range.

It is more diverse than the ordinary monster-based gameplay.

Furthermore, in reality, Chenqi currently has no shortage of ways to obtain these 'monsterized' items.

Aside from the various events that occur in the rift, the simplest way to become a 'monster' is to take a special potion!

His crew member, the Flower Witch, is a master potion maker!
His current body is saturated with various potions: Shadow Demon Potion, Succubus Potion, Deep Sea Tentacle Monster Potion, Tree Potion, Mushroom Potion, Mermaid Potion...

He can drink everything now!

I wonder what kind of dangerous potions the Flower Witch can make? Facing the sea breeze, Chen Qi piloted the Near-Sea Overlord towards Lantern Moon Island.

Currently, neither the Flower Witch nor Brie knows that he has secretly advanced to the Legendary level.

I wonder what their expressions will be when they see themselves promoted to legendary status?
"Give them a surprise..." Chen Qi held his head high, extremely excited.
