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

Chapter 232 Uninvited Guest

Chen Qi pondered for a moment.

Veteran Gale is the most important NPC in the Bloodblade Pirate Crew. As a legendary general, he possesses a wealth of resources.

Its most remarkable resource is the Blade Release 'Wrath of the Earth' that it possesses, a terrifying Blade Release that can cause earthquakes and reshape mountains!
However, I am currently only a second-tier transcendent being, which is far too far away for me.

Chen Qi glanced at Lady Blood, then at Little Red Riding Hood.

If we exclude some quirky options, the skill cards that veteran Gale has are enough for me to build a small playstyle.

Chen Qi recalls that in the strategy guide, veteran Gale seemed to have recommended three skill cards.

He thought for a moment and replied:
"Qi Transformation, Steel Qi, plus a Bloodblade Pirate Crew's Blade Forging and Body-Forging Technique skill card."

"uh-huh?"

The moment the veteran Gale heard the answer, he couldn't help but exhale a heavy breath.

Qi Transformation is a skill that manipulates the flow of qi and combines it with one's own strength to sublimate qi again. It is the core skill of many high-end qi techniques.

Steel Qi, on the other hand, is a skill that solidifies qi into a fluid of steel, which then wraps around oneself to form a super-strong defense. Once fully mastered, it can even form a permanent, constant defense.

To practice this secret technique, in addition to skill cards, you also need to train your breathing every day until you can blow a flagpole and keep bullets hitting your body!
This is also the key to why Qili Liu dares to directly confront bullets head-on.

As for the Blade Forging and Body Tempering Technique, it is the most famous universal body tempering technique of the Bloodblade Pirate Crew, which was personally created by Gale of the Bloodblade Pirate Crew.

Compared to traditional body-building techniques, it is much more rigorous, striving to train every protruding joint in the body to be as sharp as a blade, and every muscle to be as hard as steel!
Of course, as a high-level body tempering technique, its practice not only requires knowledge of skill cards, but also the use of Blood Crystal herbs from the Blood Blade Pirate Crew, plus tempering the body with scorching heat.

This process is repeated hundreds or thousands of times until, in the end, one's own body is transformed into a sharp blade, extremely aggressive.

These three skill cards are already quite valuable, especially the Blade Forging and Body Tempering Technique. Even the executives within the Blood Blade Pirate Crew would need to complete a major mission to obtain it.

Veteran Gale's eyes involuntarily fell on Chen Qi.

If he were to give Chen Qi three skill cards, then these three skill cards would undoubtedly be the best choice.

These three skills work together to give an extraordinary individual the physical ability to withstand spiral bullets in the shortest amount of time!

Despite the tattered hunter's armor separating them, the veteran Gale could still sense the power and physique of Dawn!
Veteran Gale said in a deep voice:
"Hunter, your eyesight and aura are already quite good, and even your physical attributes are quite strong for your current stage! The only thing you lack is purity!"

Purity? Chen Qi took a moment to understand.

Simply put, he has high physical talent, but lacks sufficient training and combat experience.

Veteran Gale added:
"These three skills are quite difficult for you, especially the last one, the Blade Forging and Body Strengthening Technique. Is its difficulty beyond your imagination? Are you sure?"

As Chen Qi gradually calmed down, the fatigue in his body gradually subsided.

call……

Chen Qi glanced at Fen, who was covered in wounds.

Unlike in the game, when he actually faced a fourth-tier legendary figure, the powerful sense of oppression permeated almost every cell in his body.

Only after he calmed down and the instinctive excitement and fear subsided could he perceive the terror Carol possessed.

That kind of terror, where a single breath can determine life or death.

Although his growth rate is fast enough in this world, he is still too weak in this tide.

If he can fully master these three skills, plus his super-sensory perception and Blade Breathing, then he will simultaneously possess a powerful physique, keen senses, and a Blade Release, becoming a well-rounded warrior.

Even at the second tier, this level of strength is enough to contend with a mid-tier third-tier superhuman!
But on this vast ocean, it's far from enough...

It needs to be stronger, even stronger...

Now, I also have to consider the professional card for a third-tier transcendent... Chen Qi suppressed his complicated thoughts and said firmly:

"Just these three skill cards!"

This young man... veteran Gale is itching to get his hands on him.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's background was unclear, the veteran Gale would have wanted to take Chen Qi as his apprentice right now, just like he took in Little Red Riding Hood.

"no problem!"

Veteran Gale patted his thigh and said to Lady Blood:

"Blood Lady, give him these three skill cards!!"

"Ah."

Lady Blood hesitated for a moment, then opened her backpack and took out the Qi Transformation and Steel Qi skill cards.

However, when she took out the third skill card, she hesitated.

“Gail, this skill card was entrusted to me by my husband before he left. He told me that if he didn’t come back, all the skill cards and extraordinary resources should be left to his good brother, Fenrir, to help him become a fourth-tier legend!”

Are you sure you're helping him...? Chen Qi looked at Little Red Riding Hood, lost in thought.

"Fenrir? Tier 4, that kid still has at least ten years to go before reaching legendary status!"

Veteran Gale couldn't help but shout:
"Fenrir is useless now, don't worry, I'll figure something out later. Besides, I don't think Fenrir has any intention of mastering the Blade Forging and Body Tempering Technique at all. On the contrary, he wants to give his skill card to Little Red Riding Hood!"

Lady Blood bit her lip:
"But this is my husband's will..."

Veteran Gale roared:
"Forget about the will! I think that bastard isn't dead at all. He's just a coward, or he committed a serious crime and doesn't dare to come back!"
Right, Little Red Riding Hood!

Veteran Gale sought advice from his apprentice, Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood gritted her teeth and nodded with difficulty:
"Perhaps he has some difficulties that he finds hard to talk about..."

His difficulties are indeed quite significant... Chen Qi couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Veteran Gayle exhaled a heavy breath:

"Difficulties? I bet he's been attracted to some noble lady and gone off to indulge in debauchery."

Veteran Gale shook his head.

The Blood Emperor was an arrogant and domineering man who liked to run wild and act impulsively.

Although he was powerful, he lacked composure, was extremely arrogant, and was always causing trouble. Therefore, his master, the veteran general Gale, never took the Blood Emperor seriously.

After a moment's hesitation, Lady Blood handed three skill cards to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi took the skill card and touched it carefully; it had a matte texture.

The back of each of these three cards features an image of a martial artist.

These are not the original skill cards, but rather modified special skill cards that place greater emphasis on practical application.

It has two characteristics. First, it places greater emphasis on versatility; as long as one has mastered the strength, one can begin learning the skills.

Secondly, it weakens the power of skill cards; relying solely on skill cards, one can only master a superficial understanding.

It places greater emphasis on self-training, and compared to other skill cards, it will cause less damage to the brain.

Currently, Chen Qi's frequency of using skill cards has reached a rather serious level.

Those who adhere to the principles of the Book of Life possess a greater ability to digest skill cards.

However, he was not an extraordinary person who adhered to the path of book appearance, and could not forcibly digest multiple skill cards.

If you use a few more skill cards, you might even transform into a madman whose entire body is covered in runes, whose brain is filled with delirium, and who keeps learning and learning.

These skill cards, which emphasize self-training, are undoubtedly good news for him.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Qi gently pinched his fingers, digesting them one by one.

You have mastered the knowledge of transforming qi into form.

You have mastered the knowledge of steel.

You have mastered the art of forging blades to sever bodies.

"call……"

Chen Qi closed his eyes and absorbed the knowledge in his brain.

Compared to other skill cards, the infusion of these skill cards is more peaceful.

It was like a person sitting alone in a quiet library, calmly reading three books. I completely understood... Chen Qi slowly opened his eyes and circulated his energy.

Veteran Gale stroked his long beard:

"Hunter, we have a special place on our Bloodblade to practice martial arts! You're welcome anytime!"

"Our Little Red Riding Hood from the Bloodblade has recently advanced to Tier 3! In terms of talent, she's definitely the best here! She can be your sparring partner!"

"Um……"

Chen Qi asked:

"By the way, you two, I wonder if you have any Tier 3 Lamp Aspect Class Cards? I feel my skills are already powerful enough, and I'm about to advance."

"Promotion, Lighting Pro Card..."

Veteran Gale was silent for a moment, then quietly replied:
"In our Bloodblade Pirate Crew, the only third-tier profession for the Lantern Master is the Navigator, right? I don't think I have one..."

Lady Blood also shook her head:
"I'm sorry, the Bloodblade Pirate Crew probably doesn't have any Light-type class cards in reserve right now. These kinds of class cards are just too rare."

"This prodigy is only at the second tier?" Little Red Riding Hood raised an eyebrow, suppressing her urge to retort.

No... Chen Qi frowned.

In the Kingdom of Bei, obtaining the Lamplight Profession Card is indeed much more difficult.

If he fails to reach the third tier, the most likely outcome is that he will be captured by the Black Whale Gang, and in the end, it may even implicate Finn.

At that moment, veteran Gayle slapped his thigh:
"Don't worry! It's just a Tier 3 job card. If all else fails, our Bloodblade Pirate Crew will teach the Belgian Meteorological Bureau and the White Dove Newspaper a lesson! We'll make them hand over the Lantern Phase skill card obediently!"

"Attack the Beiguo Meteorological Bureau and the White Dove Newspaper, two neutral organizations!" Lady Blood frantically waved her hand, saying.

“Gail, calm down. If we anger them, the Bloodblade Pirates will die in this war.”

The White Dove Newspaper and the Belgrade Meteorological Bureau are two organizations that operate with a philosophy of non-interference in the world; one is only responsible for investigating ruins, and the other is only responsible for reporting the news!

If you anger them, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Lady Blood, with tears in her eyes, tried to stop Gale's reckless actions.

Veteran Gale took a sip of his drink and paused.

Chen Qi pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head:

"Thank you all for your help, but I think I can handle this..."

Chen Qi could think of several reliable ways to obtain the Lantern Phase Professional Card.

The White Dove Newspaper, and the Ice Demon Pirate Crew...

As expected, a witch's trial ground was enough to attract these two organizations.

An hour later, after confirming that Fen was alright, Chen Qi went to the Blood Blade Pirates' martial arts arena to begin practicing breathing techniques...

……

……

Before we knew it, five days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Qi stayed alone in the training room of the Bloodblade, practicing the Bloodblade Breathing Technique and the transformation of Qi into form.

Chen Qi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a strong, bright red breath through his mouth and nose.

The Blade Breathing Technique was even more difficult to master than Chen Qi had imagined.

Many breathing techniques emphasize the coordination of the body.

But the Blade Breathing Technique is different. It focuses on the explosive power of the body. With each breath, the body's strength can be briefly transformed into a blade!
This breathing technique is extremely powerful, carrying a strong sense of violence, and may even affect Chen Qi's fighting style.

The Blade Breathing Technique can even cause practitioners to experience a berserk state during combat. Fortunately, the ability to cut flesh and break bones can neutralize this frenzied power during battle.

[You have mastered the basics of Blade Breathing Technique, Strength +5...]

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi slowly adjusted the flow of the crimson energy, which gradually wrapped around the tentacles of the embers, forming one circle after another!

A burning, scorching, and numbing sensation slowly spread throughout his body. Chen Qi slowly took a step forward and looked at the huge stone statue in the training room.

The statue of the Bloodblade Pirates has a body comparable to that of a second-tier Cup-phase transcendent being, weighing over five tons!

With the sound of his heart pounding, Chen Qi clenched his right hand into a fist, and the eight tentacles behind him gradually bent, forming a fist-like shape as well!

Finally, in the blink of an eye, the crimson energy instantly transformed into dozens of scorching hot ring blades, which suddenly contracted, turning the eight tentacles into rotating drills!

Power materializes into a spiral drill!
Boom! Accompanied by a deafening sonic boom!

Eight spiral drill bits shot out along with Chen Qi's fist.
The drill bit suddenly started, smashing into the stone statue with unstoppable force, shattering it to pieces!
Bang! In an instant, countless fragments of stone flew through the training room!

"call--"

The ferocity in Chen Qi's eyes gradually weakened, and a special notification popped up in front of him.

You have a basic grasp of the transformation of qi into form, and can skillfully control the magnitude and direction of qi.

Finally, he had a basic grasp of it... Chen Qi let out a long sigh and picked up a newspaper.

The move he just made was based on a cup-shaped move, combined with the transformation of qi into form.

The results were surprisingly good. Time for a rest...

Chen Qi stood by the wall, reflecting on the events of the past few days.

The Flower Witch's condition was worse than he had imagined; her Blood Flower Disease had exacerbated her injuries.

Without medication, Fen may have to stay in bed for another month.

These days, besides taking care of Fen, he has devoted all his energy to practicing his skills.

Now, Chen Qi can clearly feel that he is capable of fighting against a third-tier superhuman.

However, no matter how strong a second-tier weapon is, it is still still a second-tier weapon.

Chen Qi slowly opened the White Dove Times.

#The Black Hunter and the Flower Witch create a great wave in the sea!#
#The Black Whale Gang's Declaration of War! The Mysterious Disappearance of the Gunfire Queen!#
The newspaper detailed what happened in the Witch Sea. After this incident, his and the Flower Witch's bounty reached a terrifying 50 million coins!

Fifty million shell coins is already the price of many top-tier Tier 3 superhumans.

It's worth noting that back then, the highest bounty for a Tier 3 Carol, or even a young Gail, was only 30 million coins.

Because of this incident, the Bloodblade Pirates have recently been subjected to a barrage of attacks.

In addition, there was the Black Whale Gang's declaration of war.

Because of the disappearance of Big Mom Carol, the Black Whale Pirates issued a war warning, stating that if the Blood Blade Pirates did not hand over the Flower Witch and him, they would pay a heavy price.

Besides the Black Whale Gang, other forces also have their eyes on Chen Qi and the Flower Witch.

Chen Qi shook his head. Staying on the Bloodblade Pirates' main ship for a long time was not a good choice.

"I wonder when the protective shield for my ghost ship will be completed..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

Boom!

Suddenly, Chen Qi heard a light knock on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Qi said quietly, then turned around.

"Okay, guest."

A person wearing the Bloodblade Pirates' naval uniform slowly pushed open the door and then closed it.

"guest?"

A woman's voice? Chen Qi slowly turned his head, his resting heart involuntarily quickening again.

No one in the Bloodblade Pirates would call him a guest.

It seems a good practice subject has arrived... The eight withered tentacles behind Chen Qi stood up again, igniting translucent, illusory flames.
