The Ghost Ship was anchored at sea.
Chen Qi stood on the deck, quietly enjoying the sea breeze, and took out the latest newspaper to browse through it.
In the past month, Chen Qi had been continuously brushing inspiration points, raising his Blade Breathing Technique to lv3 and acquiring an additional passive skill [Blade Fury].
This passive skill enhances all attacks when in a state of rage or low health and keeps the body in a state of constant breathing.
The Residual Fire Touch inherently increases rage, making it a quite powerful passive skill.
Beyond that was the mastery over Steel Qi, Chen Qi had now reached Steel Qi lv3, not only capable of actively transforming Qi Power into a substance harder than steel, entwining it around him.
Furthermore, he had acquired the passive skill [Steel Body], which significantly boosted Chen Qi's defense, and upon being struck, his body would instinctively form a stronger Qi Power defense around the wounded area.
However, as a price, his inspiration points were now reduced to zero.
Chen Qi opened the newspaper, then glanced at the sky.
Once Witch Sea's 2.0 version begins with the Descent of the Smiling Moon, the White Dove Newspaper's Bounty Order will announce the seven new star pirates of the sea.
These seven new star pirates are those who have demonstrated sufficient talent and strength on the sea following the Crack Tide.
These people, in the view of White Dove Newspaper, all have the potential to become Legends!
As expected, he and Fen should be among them.
And soon after, unable to bear the loneliness any longer, An, having applied for the Hunter license, will make a splash at sea, waving around the Bounty Order, beating up half the pirates on the new star list, becoming the famously formidable Deep Sea Hunter, officially beginning her domineering path.
Right, and possibly Little Crow...
But Little Crow's entrance indeed took her by surprise.
In the original storyline, Little Crow was in the underground black clinic of Moonstone City, a rare, low-cost conscientious doctor in the black market, and it was only later that she would meet the Black Death Doctor and be highly valued by him.
For a long time, she was just an inexplicably cold-speaking doctor.
But now, Little Crow has completely exceeded her original development trajectory, becoming a cadre of the Black Whale Group, and a strong contender for the position of captain of the Mermaid ship.
Meanwhile, the Black-eyed Captain, having lost his precious blade, according to the newspaper, had incidentally obtained a piece of Deep Sea Hunter gear in his search for Chen Qi, and had regained his spirits.
Besides, another character who had undergone significant changes was Fen...
"Qi! Qi! I'm over here!"
Chen Qi looked down, Fen was on a small boat, waving and shouting towards him.
Chen Qi had limited knowledge of the characters of Witch Sea.
But he remembered that after the melee between the Blood Blade Pirate Group and the Black Whale Group, with flowers blooming from blood leaving countless of the pirate group dead, the Flower Witch severely injured, she fell into deep guilt.
Thereafter, the battle-hardened Flower Witch had a cold and ruthless gaze, killing without batting an eye, and at the slightest disagreement, would decisively unleash her full power.
At that time, the Flower Witch carried the domineering presence of the great protectress of Witch Sea, a savior akin to the Ice Witch!
Cold, ruthless, and unyielding became the descriptors for the Flower Witch after the Blood Blade Pirate Group incident.
On the sea, she was called the strongest new star, one that even the formidable Hunter An Aotian was wary of. Discover more stories at empire
As for now, well...
Chen Qi lowered his head.
There stood the Flower Witch on the small boat, with a Deep Sea Water Elf No. 2 on her head, yellow flowers sprouting from it, and she was all wet...
And she even started to giggle inexplicably.
Showing no signs of darkening, she even seemed more optimistic than when they first met.
Chen Qi asked curiously, "Fen, did you fall in the water? Haven't you learned to steer the boat yet?"
Like a little cat, the Flower Witch shook the water off her body:
"Hmm... no... I just wanted to experiment and see if the flower on my head could absorb the sea water and become stronger."
...
Now, aside from her stubborn words, every part of the Flower Witch had nothing to do with being unyielding or cold.
Chen Qi leaned on the side of the ship, looking up at the distant sky:
"By the way, Fen, to keep in touch, I'm planning to choose a spot at sea to create our hidden home."
"Home?"
Home!
Fen looked shocked, coming from a great family, the word 'home' was especially sensitive to her!
The Golden Flower Bird Kingdom placed great importance on family ties.
Chen Qi said, "Yes, a base for communication. Right, Fen, if all goes as expected, tonight is the beginning of the Smiling Moon, so you'd better get on board quickly."
"Eh?"
A red glow shone on both their faces.
Chen Qi looked at the moon in the sky turning increasingly red.
The 2.0 version of Witch Sea had begun.
