Chapter 492: Chapter 321: Unlocking the Deep Sea Hunter Card!
Within the boundless expanse of the Mist Sea.
Chen Qi stood steadfast upon the swaying deck, gazing out at the vast ocean before him.
The tremendous waves created by his battle with An had briefly scattered the thick fog, and the air over the entire Mist Sea was more refreshing than it had ever been before.
“I’ve really had my fill…” he thought.
Chen Qi took in deep breaths of the fresh air, somewhat disbelieving of the prompt before his eyes.
Since his arrival in the Witch Sea and after experiencing so many events, he had finally obtained a Legendary profession card and completed the corresponding Occupation Task.
...
Normally, the difficulty of Occupation Tasks was extremely high; for example, Fen’s Sage’s Medicine would have required at least an entire month’s delay without his help.
Completing the Occupation Task within a day of obtaining the Occupation Card was also quite a rare occurrence.
“Not bad!”
Chen Qi stretched his limbs.
What he needed to do next, was to find a suitable place to complete the ritual and fully assimilate the Legendary profession card.
And all of this was thanks to Teacher An.
He had never expected An’s talent to actually be in line with that of a “monster that could potentially destroy the Witch Sea.”
In the end, it was Teacher An’s body that allowed him to step into a whole new world.
Should I perhaps say “Thank you, Teacher An”? Chen Qi glanced at An lying in Fen’s arms and reached out to take out the Legendary profession card.
At that moment, he suddenly felt intense gazes upon him.
Fear, curiosity, desire, admiration, reverence…
A mix of emotions poured forth from behind him.
Chen Qi turned his head.
At the end of the ship, the exploratory crew of the Mist Sea were huddled together, watching him with a mix of alarm and curiosity.
Among these crew members, there were also journalists from the White Dove Newspaper.
If Pelu were here, I would probably already be giving an interview… Chen Qi thought.
The information on his ‘Occupation Card’ was classified; perhaps he should find an even more secluded place to check it.
At this moment, the drained gambler Loren was half-kneeling, looking at the shattered ship, at the defeated An, at the devastation before him.
As the planner of the “Bounty Hunters’ Black Hunter Task,” one of their ultimate enemies was before them.
However, the Black Hunter before Loren now seemed like a towering mountain.
He wanted to do something, but in the end, he only managed to say weakly:
“Everyone, perform the surrender ritual…”
Above the Witch Sea, there was an unspoken rule not to kill those performing the ‘surrender ritual.’
The surrender ritual was similar to raising a white flag, a gesture of capitulation.
In the Extraordinary World, however, it was more complicated.
It required one to kneel, with buttocks in the air, then closing the eyes, hands cupped over the face, pressing the eyeballs with the index fingers, and biting down hard on the thumbs with teeth. Finally, one had to put their head on the ground and press down hard, while no longer emitting Spiritual Power.
Under this posture, most Transcendents could no longer launch any effective surprise attacks.
Simply put, it was a Transcendent’s posture of surrender.
Legend had it that ruthlessly slaughtering those who perform the ‘ritual of defeat’ was a taboo of time and would draw the gaze of the Angel of the Scales, Libra, ultimately leading to one’s own demise.
Chen Qi touched his chin, pondering. Such special ‘Angels’ really did exist, and in gaming forums, many players had been killed by the relentless pursuit of Libra.
Of course, in the Witch Sea, this kind of surrender ritual was not common.
Typically, this ritual would only appear under an absolute difference in power, such as when a navy led by a Legendary Transcendent faced off against a Third Rank pirate nest.
And in the eyes of the gambler Loren, now there was an absolute gap in strength!
Apart from Diya’s mecha, they had no ability to resist whatsoever.
“We once offended the Black Hunter; perhaps this is our only chance to survive…” Loren couldn’t help but think of the Witch Times’ various speculations about the Black Hunter and the Witch.
Before him, An, half-dead, had become the plaything of the Flower Witch.
As a Hunter, he should never perform such a humiliating ritual, but there were too many innocents on this ship.
Bang!
Loren put his head to the ground and clenched his teeth.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under Loren’s lead, over twenty people on the ship knelt down, heads to the ground, teeth biting their palms, not daring to look directly at Chen Qi.
In their eyes, the Black Hunter had become a Sea Monster that couldn’t be looked upon directly!
“No need for such grand gestures…” Chen Qi looked at the trembling crowd, touched his head, and was utterly unable to anticipate such a development.
Under the influence of the newspapers, what has become of the images of me and the Witch… Chen Qi shook his head.
He had met Pelu once, so, in reality, most of the White Dove Newspaper’s reports about him were factual.
But the Witch Times was different.
Recently, having tasted the sweetness of ‘fabrication’ and ‘love-hate drama,’ the Witch Times had completely let itself go and started ‘writing novels.’
Well, in this way, it’s also good for checking the Occupation Card… Chen Qi took out the Occupation Card.
With the completion of the occupation mission, the seal on the Legendary Profession Card had also been lifted.
[You have obtained the twisted Legendary Occupation Card ‘Deep Sea Monster’.]
Deep Sea Monster… Chen Qi blinked.
So this was the real name of the Occupation Card.
Over the long years, because the ‘Deep Sea Hunter’ itself was too famous, the legendary occupation he held had also become known as the Deep Sea Hunter in the telling and retelling.
Chen Qi examined it.
[Deep Sea Monster:
Nature: Lamp, Blade
Special: This Occupation Card has undergone special treatment; its ‘Monster’ part is completely suppressed by the ‘Hunter’ part.
Description: A Hunter above the vast sea, constantly hunting deep sea monsters; throughout his long career, the blood of monsters had dyed his clothes black, their aberrant blood seeping through his skin and into his bones.
In thousands of nights, he was a mere thought, a simple step away from becoming a Sea Monster of the Witch Sea.
Eventually, in long-fought battles, on the thousandth night under the light of lamps, his powerful will devoured that boundless desire for aberration, transforming him into something that no longer existed, a ‘Monster’ and ‘Hunter’ who no longer feared any deep sea monster.
Effects: After assimilation, you will be able to accommodate all ‘Monster Deformations,’ withstand all ‘High Deformation Skills,’ obtain Fourth Rank Legendary Spiritual Power Origins, greatly increase the upper limit of your body, and gain significant insight into Blade Phase Skills.
Assimilation Method: Put the Occupation Card into the sea within a vortex full of monsters to digest.]
Chen Qi looked at the description of the Deep Sea Occupation Card before him.
The card simply described the information of the Deep Sea Hunter.
Just as he thought, the Deep Sea Hunter occupation could further strengthen his unfinished monster stream.
However, the description wasn’t complete; the boost from the Legendary Occupation Card would be even more powerful than described on the card.
Moreover, his Hunter’s Ember would also enhance this Legendary Occupation Card.
Digesting this Occupation Card required finding the Vortex Land.
That place wasn’t hard to find; he just had to return to the Lamp Moon Sea Dragon’s habitat… Chen Qi put away the Occupation Card and looked at An, who was cradled in Fen’s embrace, and asked:
“How is she? What’s her condition?”
