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

Chapter 469 The Chief Reporter's Courage
Chen Qi took out the necessary items one by one and walked towards the center of the Rift Workshop.

In the very center of the Crack Workshop, a purple book was constantly being turned, from which a large amount of text flew out.

Surrounded by text, a blue notification popped up in Chen Qi's eyes.

You are now inside the 'Inspiration Library' of the Bookish Architecture, where your learning speed will be greatly enhanced.

Note: When you learn too many skills, there is a high probability that you will suffer from knowledge worm disease.

Note: When learning too many skills, there is a possibility of developing bookworm-like behavior.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, feeling his thoughts become incredibly clear and his body experience an unprecedented sense of comfort.

The Inspiration Library is a special building unique to the White Tower, which can only be created by fifth-order transcendents.

With the help of the Inspiration Library, he was able to complete the study of Azure Pastoral, Dragon Knight Body and Blade Qi Unity within a week.

However, learning these three skills was already his limit.

He's growing up too fast.

I can't learn anymore!
If I learn even a little bit more, I'll die!

To study the Blue Pastoral, one needs a herd of eight hundred.

To meet this requirement, Chen Qi first made a contract with several hundred bullet fish when he returned to the sea.

Subsequently, Chen Qi placed the two unique items from the cracks onto the decomposition core of the workshop.

Click!Click!
The workshop gears of the rift began to turn, and the primal power of the two unique entities of the rift began to decompose, transforming into pure sexual energy that filled the entire workshop.

The entire Crack Workshop began to buzz!
The immense spiritual energy erupted, causing a thunderous roar throughout the entire island.

"!!"

On the island, the Ice Witch, who was studying the antidote for the Black Blood with the little crow, had a hint of excitement in her eyes, and felt inexplicably thrilled.

"Finally starting to study the second area?"

The large white hair on the Ice Witch's head twitched slightly.

After mastering Azure Pastoral Song, Chen Qi's strength rose to another level.

Little Black Fur is getting stronger and stronger!

Unexpectedly, the once frail little black-haired boy actually caught up with her.

Perhaps I should call him Big Black Hair now? The Ice Witch thought to herself.

If I didn't have my last trump card, Little Black Hair might be able to confront me head-on...

Alas!

The Ice Witch felt a sense of accomplishment and jumped up happily.

"teacher?"

The little crow turned around, looking at the Ice Witch's strange behavior with puzzlement.

"I forgot to turn on time stop..." the Ice Witch said, bowing her head.

"Ahem, let's stretch our bodies a bit..."

Inside the Crack Workshop.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, his chest bulging high.

My heart is pounding, and my blood is flowing faster.

Chen Qi felt an intense heat spreading throughout his body, striking every corner of his being, giving him a pleasant, electric shock-like sensation.

"The spiritual power of the lamp image has been sublimated!"

Chen Qi took off his shirt, and his chest heaved even more violently.

Bright spiritual energy continuously emanated from the muscles.

Compared to sharp blade energy, this spiritual energy is much gentler, presenting a kind of illusory feeling like light.

Dark blue lines kept appearing on the veins of his arms.

By absorbing the power of the unique entity within the rift, his spiritual power was once again elevated.

This also means that his inspiration has been enhanced once again, and his lantern-shaped moves have also been strengthened.

You are studying Azure Pastoral...

Your Azure Pastoral Song will gain special abilities based on your singing.

Chen Qi felt a strange sensation in his throat.

There's a strong urge to sing!

singing!

Azure Pastoral is a domain-specific move that requires a song to activate.

"I should be able to sing without any problems, right?" Chen Qi began to sing a pastoral song as the waves crashed in his mind, based on the sheet music in his head.

With the help of the Inspiration Library, Chenqi continuously adjusts the deviations in sound and the flow of spiritual energy to achieve the integrity of the domain.

After an unknown amount of time, a dazzling notification finally appeared before Chen Qi's eyes.

You have mastered Azure Pastoral!

A thought flashed through Chen Qi's mind, and a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

He was quite good at both spiritual power and his mastery of sea beasts.

Unexpectedly, the biggest obstacle was singing skills.

Fortunately, he has a natural talent for music and has mastered the way pastoral songs are sung.

Without hesitation, Chen Qi checked the specific effects of Azure Pastoral Song.

Azure Pastoral:
Nature and form: lamp, heart
Description: When the song of the sea rises, the sea will dance to the song, and the herds will dance to the song.

Activation requirements: Requires consuming a massive amount of spiritual power to complete the fifteen-second chant of Azure Pastoral Song, and also consumes 1000 points of Deep Sea Power.

Unlocked: Once activated, spiritual energy will transform into seawater, engulfing the world before you. (If you are already on the ocean, storms and tsunamis will erupt.) Simultaneously, you will gain the 'Azure Flame' enhancement.

Chen Qi looked at the conditions for activating Azure Pastoral Song.

The activation conditions are not difficult; you only need to complete the chant and consume Deep Sea Spiritual Power Points to activate it.

The first experiment utilized the spiritual power derived from the decomposition of the unique substance within the crack, without consuming the power of the deep sea.

Chen Qi took out the resting Water Sprites No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 from his backpack card, witnessing the first opening of Azure Pastoral Song.

"Wakuwaku (???)"

The three water sprites tilted their heads, looking at their master with a puzzled expression.

"Cough cough..."

Chen Qi closed his eyes slightly, slowly opened his lips, and began to chant.

As the chanting began, spiritual energy slowly transformed into cool seawater, and water spirits swam among the sea and the song.

The water sprites stared wide-eyed, their bouncy bodies trembling uncontrollably.

That singing is so jarring!
The master's singing voice has both the sorrow of the sea and the fury of a tsunami!
The Song of Death!

Soon, amidst the singing, the water spirits were suddenly strengthened, absorbing the power of the ocean, their strength increasing tenfold, or even twentyfold or more.

No problem... Chen Qi stopped singing and checked the specific effects of Azure Pastoral Song.

Azure Pastoral:
When activated: During the activation of the domain, your herd will be completely 'hound-ified', gaining deep-sea evolution!
When your song is low, it is like the mournful cry of the Grim Reaper with a lantern; when it soars, it is like the roar of the sea—chaotic and disorderly. While you sing, it will inflict mental damage on everyone and increase the attack power of all units in the herd.

All herds turned into hunting dogs! Chen Qi looked at the notification.

This is undoubtedly the strongest effect of Azure Pastoral.

It's important to know that deep-sea transformation can turn ordinary water sprites into Titan water sprites that can rival fourth-tier beings.

During the opening period, he will have a herd of 'man-eating' animals on the high seas.

Mental damage, increased attack power? Chen Qi looked at Mu Ge's description.

Under normal circumstances, Azure Pastoral is a regular shepherd's song with no additional effects.

"Is my singing talent not bad?" Chen Qi thought to himself.

Perhaps he could pursue a career as a singer, but that path belongs to the flower-and-flower route, which can only be achieved in the art capital of the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi confirmed the effect of 'Azure Flame'.

In the Azure Pastoral Realm, in addition to the enhancement of the sea beasts, he himself will also receive extremely strong buffs.

Azure Flame:
Description: My heart and mind will be covered by azure flames; I am the guiding light leading the flock in their counterattack.

When activated, as long as you are in the ocean, your speed increases by 2000%, allowing you to move freely like a bird, and you can sense the vision and location of all herds.

A twenty-fold speed increase! A dazzling notification flashed before Chen Qi's eyes.

Combined with his crimson luster, this means that his speed on the sea will be like that of a ghost.

Chen Qi moved rapidly through the Rift Workshop, testing his speed.

At this speed, even a fifth-tier superhuman would find it difficult to detect his movements.

Abyss Echoes is a power mode, while Azure Pastoral is a speed mode... Chen Qi was delighted.

Mastering this move means that his tactics are versatile and he can deal with different types of enemies.

"Not bad!"

Chen Qi took a deep breath.

Unlike the restlessness of the Abyss Echo, in the state of Azure Pastoral Song, he felt as calm as a still pool.

"Next up are Blade Fusion and Dragon Knight's Body." Chen Qi used the inspiration points he had accumulated over the past few days to study the two skills that enhance his character panel.

Time passed slowly within the Rift Workshop.

[You have mastered the Dragon Knight's Body. Your Constitution and Strength have increased by 100 points. You have gained High-Tier Dragon Charm and the Undying Dragon Body passive ability.]

You have mastered the unity of blade and spirit; for you, the blade is spirit, and spirit is blade.

Chen Qi slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body.

After completing his Body Tempering and Strength Techniques, his Strength reached 700 and 650 points respectively. Coupled with the Undying Body passive and the Crimson Form release, he was already a Titan-level tank.

After successfully mastering the three skills, Chen Qi felt that his brain had reached its limit.

A week has passed... Chen Qi glanced at the time.

Unbeknownst to him, he had been in seclusion in the Rift Workshop for a full week.

Suddenly, a series of knocks came from the location of the Rift Workshop!
"Who?"

Chen Qi asked, puzzled.

"it's me!"

Two overlapping female voices came from outside the door.

Who am I? A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

……

……

Five minutes later, on the Ghost of the Underworld.

Two figures sat down beside Chen Qi.

long silence.

"How about it?"

An looked up and broke the silence first.

To celebrate Chen Qi's completion of Azure Pastoral, An found him a skill card to relieve mental fatigue after finishing the task in the Tower of Books.

"call--"

After using Chen Qijiang's skill card, he felt his tired brain was relieved a lot.

"I feel much better."

An placed her hands on her thighs and said gracefully:

"That's good. I've heard that the White Tower's Inspiration Library can put a huge strain on the brain. After using it, it's best to use some mental relaxation tools to soothe the mind."

"I, I, I'm ready..."

Finn tried to speak, but found that she had not prepared any corresponding potions.

Are you angry? Chen Qi asked, looking at the little red flower that had appeared on Fen's head.

"Fen, how has the sea been these days?"

Before going into seclusion, he had already devised a plan to find the Ember Beast and asked An and Paru to help carry it out.

In addition, Little Raven, Ice Witch, and Finn are also working hard to research the antidote for Black Blood.

Finn said:
"The little crow is amazing. With its help, the antidote for the black blood has made great progress."

We already have the capability for mass production!
Whether it was the Sage of Books or other fourth-tier powerhouses, they were all taking the antidote one after another.

Thanks to the antidote, both Moonstone City and our base have stabilized.

The only problem is the production of Abyssal Blood.

The Black Blood Antidote is extremely dependent on the Abyss Blood of the Morning Rising Herd.

"I will find a way to contract more abyssal beasts."

Chen Qi took a sip of tea.

With the Shepherd's Lamp, the sea creatures' production will no longer be a problem.

"Okay!" Finn continued.
"By the way! Qi, many people in Moonstone City want to see you, including Sister Isa."

If you have time, you can go and meet him!

"Fen said."

Chen Qi's seclusion was very sudden.

With the threat of the Blackblood Empire gone, Moonstone City is experiencing unprecedented prosperity.

As the hunter who defeated the Blood Lion General, Chen Qi also received unprecedented attention.

Not only families in the capital of Bei Kingdom and managers of large companies, but even families from other countries want to meet Chen Qi.

"Do you have time..."

Chen Qi shook his head.

A sword always hung above the heads of him and the Ice Witch.

It is best to remain on high alert until the father whale's death is confirmed.

At this moment, An, like an exceptionally skilled secretary, reported in a methodical and precise manner:
"Qi, by the way, there's one more very important thing."

Currently, we have established four hundred detection points on the high seas to detect traces of the Ember Beasts.

After saying that, An handed a contact card to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi took the contact card:
Have you seen any leads these past few days?

An shook her head:
"No, we tried using the blood of the Titans to lure out the Ember Beasts, but so far, no messenger has observed any Ember Beasts..."

"To be precise, the spiritual power of the Ember Beast is too concealed and only appears for a moment. Most messengers probably do not have the ability to detect the Ember Beast's whereabouts."

Not to mention, that was a fifth-tier calamity beast…

As expected, it still couldn't be captured... Chen Qi shook his head.

Ann is right, most messengers are too weak.

Not to mention detecting the Ember Beasts, even just glancing at them would fill them with unprecedented fear.

Next, he could only try using himself as bait!
Just as Chen Qi was about to get up, the contact card in his hand suddenly beeped.

"Someone has found the Ember Beast!"

Without hesitation, Chen Qi immediately opened the contact card.

All that could be heard on the contact card was the sound of torrential rain pounding against the sea, and an extremely lively female voice.

The other party asked excitedly:

"Activate! Activate! I've spotted the Ember Beast!"

"Where are you?"

"The Lighthouse of Redstone Town, Devil's Islands!"
"Hurry! It's eaten the bait and is disappearing! Disappearing!"

Disappeared... Chen Qi broke out in a cold sweat.

The beast of embers will appear quickly and then disappear just as quickly!
The next second, the Beast of Ember will probably disappear into the sea.

++
Unless something keeps it!

However, even the power of a fifth-tier transcendent being would probably not be able to stop the ember beast from dissipating.

Chen Qi immediately got up and prepared to head to the lighthouse.

Hopefully I can make it in time!

Just then, a voice came from the other end of the communication card.

"Hurry! Activate! I've already preserved it!"

"Stay?" Chen Qi asked curiously as he hurried along.

"How did you do it?"

"I jumped on it and slapped it!"

He slapped the Ember Beast!

I was startled when I woke up in the morning.

Who is this person on the other side, daring to attack the Ember Beast!

Wait, that voice… Chen Qi asked:
"you are?"

"White Dove Newspaper, Chief Reporter, Peilu."

Don't worry, I've already kept it!

As expected of you, Peilu! Chen Qi was stunned for a moment.

Peilu's current rank is at most third rank.

The Beast of Lingering Fire probably never imagined that a third-tier being would dare to attack it!
Then he heard screams from the other end of the contact card.

"Help! This, this monster, it's going to eat me—"

"have eaten--"

With a piercing scream, the voice on the other end of the communication card disappeared completely.
