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

Chapter 377 The Witch's Special Training

The Ice Witch's lips curled into a wicked smile, a smile of triumph spreading across her face.

"Ice Witch, I..."

"I!"

Chen pressed his hand against his aching throat and glared fiercely at the Ice Witch.

That wretched Ice Witch!
The Ice Witch actually shoved that terrifying thing down her throat!
The red and black energy ball, which was constantly spreading ripples, actually entered his body!

One after another, bright red ripples continuously pierced out from his body!

Even with his fourth-tier physique, he would find it difficult to withstand an attack launched from within his body!
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
His body was trembling violently, as if hundreds of blades were cutting his flesh bit by bit!
If I had to describe this feeling, it would be like having a knife constantly stabbing out of your heart!
It hurts so much… Chen Qi gritted his teeth, his skin cracked, and a bright red warning popped up in front of his eyes.

[You are equipping the Rift Weapon - Blade's Fury!]

The Ice Witch rested her chin on her hand, took out a pocket watch, and said gently:
"Activate all your defensive techniques and try to get used to this feeling."

Don't worry, I'm here~

no!no!
If this continues, my body will be completely crippled!
As if a knife had pierced his lung, Chen Qi's pupils suddenly contracted as he used all his strength to resist the corrosive feeling of the blade-like aura!
This extremely sharp power forced him to curl up and unleash all his spiritual energy!

The correct judgment… The Ice Witch focused her attention, staring intently at Chen Qi:

"Don't be too afraid. Relax. It's not a real knife, but a ripple of spiritual energy. Just reverse the flow of spiritual energy in your body, and you can alleviate the pain."

Reverse cancellation? A horrifying half-meter-long bloodstain suddenly appeared on Chen Qi's skin.

The Ice Witch continued:

"Take a bold and risky attempt."

"I'm here, I'm here..."

The Ice Witch lowered her crossed legs and spoke softly.

Her eyes softened considerably, revealing a hint of holy, gentle maternal love.

This gentleness, for a moment, even eased the anger in Chen Qi's heart.

It was as if as long as she was there, nothing could possibly happen to him.

Equipping a crack weapon without proper equipment is an extremely dangerous operation.

However, the Ice Witch herself is the best surgeon.

In case of an accident, she can activate time stop at any time to remove the rift weapon from Chen Qi's body.

The Ice Witch… Chen Qi took a deep breath, concealing the anger, fear, and confusion in his eyes.

Right now, more important than taking revenge on the Ice Witch is to digest this other kind of 'spiritual source' within my own body.

If he cannot digest this power, his spiritual source and physical body will suffer irreversible damage!
Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
Drop after drop of blood fell from her skin.

Chen Qi no longer suppressed himself and began to adjust his spiritual power, forming ripples within his body that rushed straight to his heart.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

The spiritual energy waves from the heart and the pulsation of the energy sphere from the crack intersected.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap—"

The Ice Witch hummed a rhythm to help Chen Qi get used to the feeling.

Let the spiritual energy ripples and the ripples from the cracked weapon cancel each other out!

Frequency, and rhythm...

And so, Chen Qi endured the pain and continued to correct his own spiritual energy waves.

Adjusting one's own body time and time again.

Time and time again—

Driven by an instinctive fear, Chen Qi focused all his attention on his physical body.

After an unknown amount of time, the frequency of the spiritual energy waves emanating from his body and the ripples of the cracked weapon reached an astonishing consistency.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
In that brief moment, Chen Qi felt his body was both restless and incredibly peaceful.

It's like an ocean.

It appears calm on the surface, but beneath the surface, it is incredibly turbulent.

"I did it."

A bright red notification popped into Chen Qi's mind.

[You have successfully equipped the Rift weapon—Blade's Fury.]

Blade's Wrath

Weapon type: Energy-based.

Nature/Appearance: Blade
Corresponding rift: C-rank Blade Phase - Mountain of War
Crack effect:

Spiritual Energy Storage: This weapon can serve as a small source of spiritual energy for your use.

Blade Enhancement: Greatly enhances all your Blade Aspect moves!

Side effect: While wielding the weapon's power, one becomes excessively enraged.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

I adjusted my breathing at dawn and reopened my bloodshot eyes.

At his feet lay a horrifying pool of blood.

His skin already bore a hundred scars.

"Congratulations."

The Ice Witch, having confirmed that Chen Qi was unharmed, put down her pocket watch and breathed a sigh of relief.

She picked up a cup of brewed herbal tea and handed it to Chenqi.

She then explained:
"This is a miniature crack weapon, crafted from a C-rank crack. Of course, it's not on the same level as the B-rank crack required for advancement to the fifth rank."

Ultimately, it's just a weapon.

The Ice Witch continued:

"However, after digesting this weapon, both your subsequent spiritual power sublimation and the connection of the rift will be much easier."

Chen Qi took a sip of herbal tea and felt his own spiritual energy field.

Just now, about two hours have passed.

However, his spiritual energy field suddenly surged by a third!

At the same time, his spiritual power is more easily converted into blade power and qi power!
Such a dramatic change, and this was after only two hours of training!

Chen Qi looked at the smiling Ice Witch and exhaled a mouthful of blood.

"Hmm?" the Ice Witch said.
Are you angry?
I'm sorry, we don't have much time, I have to use the fastest method.

"Let me give you a little praise, Little Blackie, you did a great job. Next, all you need to do is practice spiritual power sublimation, and you can try to fight the Blizzard Dragon King!"

"It's rare to find someone who receives my praise..." The Ice Witch smiled slightly.

I really want to kick the Ice Witch... Chen Qi doesn't know how to complain.

These days, the image of the Ice Witch as a sea goddess, a saint, and an ice queen has been shattered in his mind!

Are the Ice Witch and the Iceberg Saintess on the forum really the same person?
The Ice Witch's personality was far worse than he had imagined.

Moreover, while the Ice Witch is mostly an iceberg with a gentle smile in the normal world, she is extremely twisted in the time-stopped world.

When Chen Qi first met the Ice Witch, he regretted accidentally stepping on her face.

But now he feels more and more strongly that that kick back then.

You stepped too lightly!
It's lighter!

That wretched Ice Witch! If you're going to equip yourself with a weapon, why can't you just explain it properly?

However, Chen Qi also had to admit that compared to fully prepared practice, this kind of sudden 'operation' was more likely to trigger his survival instinct, allowing him to quickly switch to his best state.

Otherwise, if he were to be mentally prepared before trying, it might take several times longer.

At the same time, despite how bad it was, there was no doubt that every move the Ice Witch made helped him grow rapidly.

The value of this rift weapon alone could rival his ability to cut flesh and bones!
Not to mention the witch's pages that could previously help elevate spiritual power.

The Ice Witch genuinely wanted to train him to become a fifth-tier powerhouse.

The Ice Witch raised her hand, took out a book from her wormhole backpack, and handed it to him.

Chen Qi took the book.

The book cover prominently displays the title: "Spiritual Power Ascension in Five Days - Written by the Saint of Books!"

Below that, in smaller print:
"Friend! Are you still troubled by failing your exam?"

"Choose this book, and I guarantee you'll succeed!"

Books from the White Tower Federation.

"But can spiritual power sublimation really be achieved in just five days?" Chen Qi complained.

Under normal circumstances, spiritual energy sublimation requires various resources, as well as a special cultivation environment.

However, he quickly understood everything: the Witch's Book Page, plus the Wrath of the Blade from the Rift Weapon.

If you add the spiritual potions purchased from the Merchant's Coffin, completing the spiritual sublimation within five days is not difficult!
"Thank you, Ice Witch."

Chen Qi temporarily suppressed the urge to kick the Ice Witch.

In the face of the Ice Witch, he was merely an apprentice.

However, I really want to kick her... Chen Qi couldn't help but look at the Ice Witch's face.

At this moment, the Ice Witch's face flushed slightly, and her bright red pupils contracted.

Then, she looked down at Chen Qi's shoes.

The size of these shoes looks so familiar!
That wasn't the shoe that ruined her elegance!
she asked:
"Don't you really have anything to repent for? For example, did you step on a witch's foot?"

She still remembered this... Chen Qi coughed twice, looking speechlessly at the Ice Witch:
"The floor is slippery, Lady Witch, you don't mind, do you?"

So it wasn't Fen who stepped on me... The Ice Witch paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Tolerance is a virtue, how could this witch possibly mind such a trivial matter?"

"..."

Really? Chen Qi looked at the Ice Witch, a vague sense of unease creeping into his heart.

Immediately afterwards, the Ice Witch stood up and handed some potions to Chen Qi:

"Blizzard Dragon King, I'm entrusting this to you, Qi." Then, she reached out and gently touched Chen Qi's wound.

Under the Ice Witch's gentle touch, his wounds slowly healed.

Hmm... Chen Qi took the medicine.

Although her personality was a bit awful, he had to admit that the Ice Witch was like a meticulous mentor and was really reliable.

"I'll get my revenge when I'm stronger..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

He immediately focused all his attention on fighting the Blizzard Dragon King.

It is not impossible for a fourth-tier transcendent being to defeat a fifth-tier monster.

However, there is no doubt that this would be extremely dangerous.

And if he fails, he will die.

Chen Qi bit her lip, feeling both excited and fearful.

He hasn't engaged in a high-risk battle against someone of a higher level in a long time.

At that moment, the Ice Witch seemed to see through all of Chen Qi's thoughts.

She placed her hand on Chenqi's head, gently stroked it, and whispered:
"Don't worry, don't be too afraid. I will die before you."

The Ice Witch's words were very soft, but they carried an undeniable power.

It was as if this wasn't a consolation, but an inevitable fate.

"Die first..." Chen Qi couldn't help but recall the story of the Ice Witch.

In the future, even the invincible Ice Witch will feel unprecedented powerlessness and fear when facing the Black Whale Clan, who have received the blessing of the Great Whale.

……

……

The Coffin of the Ocean, the Ghostly Underworld Ship.

The air was thick with the tense smell of gunpowder.

The group stood on the deck, weapons in hand, gazing at the distant horizon, ready for battle.

This was their fifteenth day at the Coffin in the Sea.

If they can survive for fifteen days, they can leave the Witch's Coffin, collect their rewards, and return to the real world!

However, they encountered more and more monsters.

Giant snow monster, long-legged snow woman, headless snow knight, and so on...

Every monster possesses the strength of a fourth-tier monster!
Every night, these terrifying monsters cross the ocean and attack the Ghost Ship!
If it weren't for the Ghost Sea's powerful defenses and the command of Palu, the Ice Witch, and others, they would have suffered heavy losses.

Currently, there are still zero fatalities among the crew on board.

However, the last day is the most terrifying.

As an A-rank rift, the Coffin of the Ocean is so difficult on its final day that the difficulty level is equal to the sum of all the previous rifts combined!

Palu, Finn, and the other fourth-tier legendary warriors all suffered severe frostbite and were unable to fight.

Finn changed into a cold-resistant naval uniform given to her by the Ice Witch, stood straight on the deck, and observed what lay ahead.

On the distant horizon, a hundred terrifying figures moved at high speed suddenly appeared—

Finn immediately gave the order:

"Everyone, prepare for battle! The final wave of monsters is about to arrive."

"Bri, activate the ship's defense systems and prepare for repairs!"

"Water Sprite One and Palu, accelerate the ships and circle around the traps we've set!"

"Little crow, detect any monsters hiding spiritual power! Prepare to distribute the medicine!"

On the deck, the dashing first mate, Finn, held a staff and directed the crew.

One after another, ferocious white snow dragons swept across the sea at a speed too fast for the naked eye to detect, creating hundreds of white waves as they rushed toward the Ghost of the Underworld!

In just a few breaths, they rushed from the horizon a kilometer away to the Ghost Ship.

Boom! Boom!
The entire Ghost Ship burst into flames, forming a ghostly green shield.

The battle is about to break out.

Each of these hundred snow dragons was ten meters long, with an elegant figure and strength and speed comparable to legendary superhumans.

They opened their blood-stained, ferocious mouths and spat out beams of white, destructive light, assaulting the defenses of the Nethersea Ghost.

And all the crew members no longer held back, unleashing their full power of magic!
The extraordinary individuals who were able to join this operation were all among the elite.

In an instant, the sea where they were located was filled with the sounds of gunfire, and wave after wave surged up!

However, the Ghost of the Undersea still has many shortcomings in its defense system.

After a five-minute battle, the Snow Dragon broke through the protective shield, opened its blood-red maw, and bit directly at the medical and reconnaissance joint team led by Little Crow!

"Oops!"

The crow's pupils contracted rapidly as it used its arm to block.

Even though she received much instruction from the Ice Witch, in terms of actual combat ability, she was still inferior to a true fourth-tier powerhouse.

brush!
Suddenly, a figure swiftly passed between them.

Petals fell from the sky onto the deck.

Blood petals fall! Fen lunges forward, striking with a single blow, implanting the life-absorbing flower into the Snow Dragon's body.

Instantly, a large amount of blood gushed from Xue Long's body, and his body shrank, becoming extremely emaciated.

With the support of the Ice Witch these days, Finn's life magic has once again reached a new level!
Fen reached out and shielded the little crow in front of her:
"Don't worry, I'm here."

"grateful……"

"So powerful, this is the witch's disciple..." The little raven looked at Finn's retreating figure, its eyes filled with envy.

But then she sensed something ominous.

"Miss Witch, watch out for the sky!"

The sky? Fen frowned.

Suddenly, the sky changed dramatically. Dark clouds rolled in and out, a biting wind howled, and a storm was brewing.

The little crow stood at the bow of the boat, gazing into the distance. In the storm on the horizon, a huge, blurry figure was growling.

Its entire body was covered in crystal-clear ice armor, and its wings flapped, stirring up gusts of wind.

A blizzard is coming!

In an instant, the entire Ghost was enveloped in a massive blizzard, and the sea churned up wave after wave of tsunamis.

The previously orderly resistance instantly turned into chaos.

Paru struggled to steady himself in the rocking boat, raising his head with a furrowed brow.

Sure enough, this dragon king will attack when they are at their weakest point.

These days, their medication and physical strength have been completely drained.

The little crow said loudly:
"Attention all crew members! A blizzard is approaching! Beware of extreme cold!"

However, before she could finish speaking...

Boom!

An even fiercer blizzard swept over the group, causing the entire ship to tilt dramatically.

boom! boom! boom!
Many people were so cold that they instantly turned into ice sculptures and collapsed on the deck.

Amidst the raging winds, Finn cast a defensive spell, shielding himself against the massive blizzard.

However, this is far too insignificant in the face of a fifth-tier dragon.

The embodiment of natural disaster!
Wherever it goes, thousands of miles of ice freeze over!

Thick layers of ice crystals kept appearing on Fen and the others' hands and feet.

The entire ship, and the surrounding sea area within a kilometer radius, was instantly frozen.

A massive blizzard obscured everyone's view.

Even the Ice Witch, standing in the center of the deck, couldn't help but frown.

The power of the Blizzard Dragon King was slightly beyond her imagination.

"Here comes the witch!"

The little crow warned loudly, for as a practitioner of the messenger of calamity, she could sense the impending crisis in advance.

"coming?"

The swirling snow caused serious problems with Fen's spiritual judgment.

Amidst the raging blizzard, a blurry, gigantic dragon shadow appeared, hurtling straight at Finn's head and the detection and medical team behind her!
A heavy shadow fell over the rocking boat.

Time is running out! Finn gritted her teeth, preparing to fight back.

However, at this moment, her stiff body was not strong enough to support her in protecting everyone.

In that instant, she seemed to see the enormous dragon's body crash into the ship, turning it into an ice sculpture, and then shattering completely.

Boom! Boom!
The roar was getting closer and closer!
The Blizzard Dragon King unleashed his immense power, bringing with him boundless blizzards and storms.

The wind was as powerful as a huge boulder, pressing down on everyone!
Damn it! Finn's heart pounded; she could already see the terrifying maw of the Dragon King, devouring everything.

In that instant, Finn instinctively bit her finger, preparing to consume her own lifespan to initiate liberation.

"Fen, calm down."

However, a gentle male voice quickly calmed everyone down.

Click!Click!
Two leisurely flint clicks echoed amidst the swirling snow.

On the bow of the Ghost of the Underworld, a white flame slowly lit up.

Amidst the flickering flames, the group, having regained their footing, caught a glimpse of a blurry figure and an ever-growing, pale dragon's body amidst the howling wind!

The Dragon King has arrived!

The Blizzard Dragon King opened its massive maw, unleashing a howling blizzard as it crashed down on the Ghost Ship.

Click!

With a crisp sound of a sword being drawn.

The blade sliced ​​through the flames of the daytime lantern, creating a dazzling white streak twenty meters long, which brought the soaring calamity, now transformed into a blizzard dragon king, to a halt right in front of the ship's bow!
