Chapter 321: Deep Sea Hunter Card Unlocked!
In the vast, boundless Fog Sea.
Chen Qi stood firmly on the swaying deck, gazing out at the sea before him.
The massive shockwaves generated from his battle with An had briefly dispersed the thick fog, making the air of the entire Fog Sea unprecedentedly refreshing.
"That was quite satisfying..."
Chen Qi took deep breaths of the fresh air, somewhat unable to believe the prompt before his eyes.
After arriving at the Witch Sea and experiencing so many events, he had finally obtained the legendary profession card and completed its corresponding profession quest.
Under normal circumstances, profession quests were extremely difficult. For example, Fen's Philosopher's Stone Potions would require at least a full month of delay if he didn't infiltrate the Dragon Tamer King's island.
Completing the quest within a day of obtaining the profession card!
"Not bad!"
Chen Qi stretched his body.What he needed to do next was find a suitable place to perform the ritual and completely digest the legendary profession card.
And all of this was thanks to Teacher An.
He never expected that An's talent would actually fit the description of a 'monster that could potentially destroy the Witch Sea'.
Teacher An had used her own body to help him step into a whole new world.
Should I perhaps say thank you, Teacher An? Chen Qi glanced at An lying unconscious in Fen's arms and reached out, preparing to take out the legendary profession card.
At that moment, he suddenly felt intense gazes upon him.
Fear, curiosity, desire, admiration, awe...
A mixture of emotions converged from behind him.
Chen Qi turned around.
At the stern of the ship, the exploration crew members of the Fog Sea were crowded together, looking at him with terror and curiosity.
Among these crew members were also reporters from the White Pigeon Press.
If Pelu were here, I'd probably be getting interviewed right now... Chen Qi thought to himself.
His 'profession card' information wasn't convenient to expose publicly; perhaps he should find a more secluded place to examine it.
Meanwhile, the completely exhausted gambler Loren was half-crouching, looking at the shattered ship and the defeated An.
As one of the planners of the 'Black Hunter bounty hunter mission', one of his ultimate enemies, the Black Hunter, was right before his eyes!
However, the Black Hunter before him now appeared like an insurmountable mountain to Loren in his current state.
He wanted to do something, but ultimately could only say weakly:
"Everyone, perform the defeat ritual..."
On the Witch Sea, there was an unwritten rule not to kill those who performed the 'defeat ritual'.
The defeat ritual was similar to raising a white flag, a gesture of surrender.
However, in this supernatural world, it was more complex.
It required kneeling with knees on the ground, sticking out the buttocks, then closing the eyes, placing hands over the face, pressing the index fingers against one's own eyeballs, biting the thumb fiercely with teeth, finally placing the head on the ground and pressing down hard, while simultaneously ceasing to emit any spiritual energy.
In this posture, most Transcendents were unable to launch any effective sneak attacks.
Therefore, simply put, it was a surrender pose for Transcendents.
Legend had it that wantonly slaughtering those who performed the defeat ritual was a taboo of the world, which would attract the gaze of the Scale Angel 'Libra', ultimately leading to self-inflicted consequences.
Chen Qi remembered that this special type of 'angel' truly existed; in the game forums, many chaotic, unscrupulous war criminal players had died under Libra's pursuit.
Of course, in the Witch Sea, this defeat ritual wasn't common.
Typically, it only appeared in situations of absolute power disparity, such as when legendary Transcendents led navies against third-tier pirate nests.
In gambler Loren's view, the situation they encountered on this voyage represented exactly that kind of absolute power disparity!
Without the ability to use Release, Loren couldn't think of any possibility of defeating the Black Hunter.
We've offended the Black Hunter before; this might be our only chance to survive... Loren couldn't help but recall the various speculations about the Black Hunter and the Witch in the Witch Times.
Before his eyes, the half-dead An had already become a plaything for the Flower Witch.
As a hunter, he absolutely shouldn't perform such a humiliating ritual, but there were too many innocent people on this ship.
Thud!
Loren placed his head on the ground, clenching his teeth.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Following Loren's lead, over twenty people on the ship knelt down one after another, heads touching the deck, teeth tightly biting their palms, not daring to look directly at Chen Qi.
In their eyes, the Black Hunter had already become a monster too terrifying to behold!
There's no need for such extreme courtesy... Chen Qi looked at the trembling crowd, scratched his head, completely unprepared for this development.
Just how have the newspapers portrayed me and the Witch? Chen Qi frowned.
He had met Pelu once before, so actually, most reports about him in the White Pigeon Newspaper were factual accounts.
However, the Witch Times was different.
Recently, after tasting the benefits of 'fabrication' and 'dramatic relationships', the Witch Times had completely let loose, entering 'novel-writing mode'.
Confirming there were no extra eyes watching, Chen Qi took out the Deep Sea Hunter card.
After completing the profession quest, the seal on the legendary profession card had been lifted, allowing him to view its corresponding information.
[You have obtained the twisted legendary profession card 'Deep Sea Monster'.]
Deep Sea Monster... Chen Qi blinked.
So this was the true name of this profession card.
Over the long passage of time, because the 'Deep Sea Hunters' themselves became too famous, the legendary profession they mastered had also become known as Deep Sea Hunter through oral tradition.
Chen Qi continued reading.
[Deep Sea Monster:
Affinity: Lamp, Blade
Special: This profession card has undergone special treatment; its 'monster' aspect has been completely suppressed by the hunter aspect.
Description: A hunter upon the great sea, continuously hunting deep sea monsters. Throughout his long career, monster blood stained his clothes black, aberrant blood seeped through his skin, soaking into his bones.
For a thousand nights, he was just one simple thought, one simple step away from becoming a monster of the Witch Sea!
Finally, after prolonged slaughter, on the thousandth night, illuminated by lamplight, his powerful will devoured the boundless aberrant desires, becoming both a 'monster' and a 'hunter' who feared no deep sea creature!
Effect: After digestion, you will be able to accommodate all 'monster aberrations', withstand all 'high-aberration skills', obtain a fourth-tier legendary Spiritual Core, greatly increase physical limits, and gain significant Blade affinity skill comprehension.
Digestion Method: In a vortex teeming with monsters, place the profession card into the sea to digest.]
Chen Qi looked at the description of the deep sea profession card.
The card briefly described information about the Deep Sea Hunter.
As he expected, the Deep Sea Hunter profession could further strengthen his undeveloped monster path.
However, the description was incomplete; the enhancement from a legendary profession card would be even greater than what was described on the card surface.
Moreover, his Hunter Ember would further strengthen this legendary profession card!
To digest this profession card, he needed to be in a vortex area full of monsters.
This place wasn't hard to find; he just needed to return to the lamp-moon sea dragon habitat.
Surprisingly straightforward... Chen Qi put away the profession card and looked at An in Fen's arms, asking:
"How is she? What's her condition?"
