We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

Chapter 161 Legendary Talent——[Second Ship Soul]!

boom--

A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami exploded in Xia En's mind.

It's like the cry of sailors, mixed with the desolate boat song and the invisible stormy waves.

However, what was different from the previous upgrades was that there seemed to be two similar but different voices echoing in Xia En's ears.

It was as if... the end of his soul split into two branches.

One was given to the [Black Swan].

The other one extends into the void of the underworld, and there is currently no existence connected to it.

[Black Swan's "Firepower" +2! 】

["Speed" +2! 】

["Sturdiness" +2! 】

["Mystery" +2! 】

The mysterious secret power flows into Xia En's body, subtly nourishing every strand of his flesh and blood, and slowly precipitates into a more powerful force.

At this time, all attributes of [Black Swan] finally exceeded the 50 mark.

This means that Xia En can use [Ship Heart] to upgrade the hull for the second time!

But now, what he cares more about is the newly unlocked talents after the ship soul level is upgraded.

[Unlock Talent: Second Ship Soul]

[Quality: Legend]

[Description: After unremitting efforts, your bond with the "Black Swan" has reached a new stage. 】

[Now, you can bind a second ship of your own! 】

[The bound ship can synchronize the effect of "Captain's Majesty". 】

[But the bond with the new ship soul also needs to be cultivated gradually. 】

[When its ship soul level is increased, it can enjoy talents such as "Ship Soul Synchronization", "Submarine Anchor Point", and "Ship Heart". 】

[Double ship soul, double happiness! 】

"hiss……"

The moment he read this description, Xia En couldn't help but take a breath.

Golden legend!

There is no doubt that this talent is the ability to bind a second ship that he has been thinking about for a long time.

The strength of this talent is obvious.

Powerful, needless to say!

Just the attributes that [Captain’s Majesty] can increase are exaggerated enough.

Although [Black Swan] has become very extraordinary after several enhancements by Shane, its starting point is really too low.

——A small boat that could only be sold for more than 300 silver snake coins, do you still think how powerful it is?

If feelings weren't born while getting along, and it couldn't be changed after being bound to the ship...

Shane might actually be like some captains and simply buy a bigger, stronger boat.

But now, Xia En does not need to train this second ship from scratch. He can completely bind it to an already powerful ship.

In this way, his strength will complete a huge surge!

In addition to attributes, what surprised Xia En even more was that talents such as [Ship Soul Synchronization] can also be used on newly bound ships.

If [Communication Ship Soul] is used, wouldn't it be possible to achieve double blessings from two ship souls?

After a new ship unlocks [Submarine Anchors], will the number of [Anchors] also increase?

And, after that, Shane can put the two ships on different reinforcement routes.

For example, let the [Black Swan] focus on the [Life] trait; let the new ship focus on the [Mystery] trait.

Only children make choices, of course adults do——

I want them all!

Just imagining these situations made Xia En feel overwhelmed and excited.

"It's a pity that the [Blood Duke] was directly sunk by me. If I could have survived until now..."

Shane sighed regretfully.

He never imagined at that time that he would acquire such a talent as [Second Ship Soul] so quickly.

But then I thought about it.

Even if the [Blood Duke] had not been sunk, it would have been impossible for Xia En to blitz Duke Island and Silver Moon Island with so many burdens and prisoners.

There is a high probability that he will package it and sell it in the Insanity Islands.

All we can say is that Xia En and the Blood Duke are destined to be destined to be together.

And the other big ship that moved Xia En's heart was the ghost ship in the foggy sea - [Diamond Star]!

As the legendary ship regarded as "Noah's Ark", its attributes are powerful enough in all aspects.

Not to mention, it has now become a ghost ship that cannot be described by common sense.

Of course, there is also a little bit of Xia En's selfishness in this.

——Come on, that’s a ghost ship!

Very cool!

What captain hasn’t dreamed of sailing across the ocean in a ghost ship?

But, then again, the [Cold Sea] is too far away from the Mist Sea.

If you want to see the Diamond Star again, it will probably take a month or two.

From the perspective of real-time combat power, perhaps it would be more appropriate to find a large ship nearby for binding?

After thinking carefully, Xia En felt that there was no need to be so anxious to bind a new ship.

This mentality is a bit like "refreshing the initial level" when playing mobile games.

Although you have to practice from scratch for the initial account, the starting level also affects the gaming experience over a period of time.

To use an analogy.

[Black Swan] is like an R-rated character drawn when the server was launched. It has broken through the original limitations through a series of training and has the potential of SSR.

Now that I can bind a second ship, I naturally hope to create an SSR character with both potential and strength, and I don’t want to just find a ship to bind.

Soon, Xia En calmed down his ups and downs of thoughts and returned his attention to reality.

At this moment, in the sea water in front of him, there were still endless human-shaped ashes struggling and wriggling from the volcanic ash.

But beside him, there were also many extinguished dusts.

This was the trace left by the "death" of those human-shaped embers.

Seeing this scene, the remaining human-shaped embers looked at Shane with subtle changes in their eyes and whispers.

"He can kill us..."

"He can extinguish our fire..."

"That's great..."

They miraculously regained their sanity temporarily, and those crazy roars even turned into humble pleas.

"Please, take my fire away..."

"I've had enough..."

At this moment, it is better to say that Shane is absorbing the secret power of the embers in their bodies, rather than saying that they are scrambling to send this power into Shane's body.

The efficiency of such absorption is naturally very high, but the price is that the burning pain in Shane's body becomes more and more intense.

The power of the ship soul has also fallen to an extremely dangerous number.

At this time, a squirming, female-like ember figure, holding a short figure, swam in front of Shane.

"I beg you to help this child get rid of the endless suffering..."

To be honest, Shane is also suffering unprecedented pain now.

Every part of his body seems to be burning in an invisible flame.

If the projected body has flesh and blood, the flesh and bones have probably melted and then burned to solidification.

The [Chaos Magic Pattern] on his body also glowed dark red, and there was a constant burst of pain.

Obviously, the magic pattern has an upper limit to the capacity of secret power.

Such a violent influx has been challenging its limit again and again, so that Shane has the illusion that he will be torn apart by the magic pattern spreading all over his body.

It seems that he will explode and die in the next moment.

But before that, Shane still reached out to the two embers in front of him.

An invisible heat flowed from the mother and son into Shane's body, and the dark red on their bodies gradually dissipated, and the strange flames finally extinguished.

The mother whispered: "Thank you, kind person..."

Then, the bodies of the two collapsed.

And Shane also felt that the heat in his body had reached its limit.

He looked down and found that his skin had become transparent and began to be gradually infected by the embers.

Like a firefly, fire ignited in his body and light overflowed--

Among the countless ashes, this projected body also became a part of them.

…

…

[End of the submersible! ]

[Please choose your trophy! ]

[1. Embers and dust]

In the captain's room, Shane opened his eyes, and there was a little dark red halo in his eyes.

"Huh..."

He let out a long breath, and murmured with lingering fear: "This way of death is the first time in so many submersibles."

The pain of being burned by the secret power of the embers seemed to still remain in various parts of his body, and it has not subsided for a long time.

However, although the experience of this [Submersible] was torture, the rewards were also extremely rich.

Just raising the level of the ship soul to LV5 gave Shane enough surprises.

Of course, Shane's improvement was not limited to this.

He took off his shirt and looked at himself in the mirror.

I saw that on that beautiful body with streamlined muscles, dark red lines appeared extremely clearly, all over the chest and limbs.

This already fit body added a bit of weird charm.

Looking closely, those lines seemed to be still slightly wriggling and changing with the flow of blood, with a texture of sucking other people's souls into it.

The secret power as hot as magma is hidden in it and flows slowly.

It can burst out with extremely terrible power at any time.

[Talent: Chaos Magic Pattern (Rare) → (Precious)! ]

Seeing this line of prompts, Shane couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

One dive raised this talent by three levels!

This leap is not exaggerated.

Xia En stretched out his finger, and a small flame was generated at his fingertips.

He had a hunch that if he used all his strength to call on the magic patterns on his body, this flame would immediately turn into a fire that would burn a town!

"Huh!"

Xia En blew gently and extinguished the flame.

He was not reckless enough to test this ability on the [Black Swan].

But obviously, he added another attack method that was different from numerical crushing.

After experiencing the stronger body for a while, Xia En calmed down and recalled the [Emerald Ancient City] he had just seen, and many doubts emerged in his heart.

First of all, it was this weird [Ember Secret Power].

Will normal volcanic eruptions and even burials of volcanic ash really cause victims to endure endless burning?

Either the volcano itself is abnormal.

Or this is not an ordinary volcanic eruption at all, but a long-planned massacre!

Someone wants to use this [Secret Power of Embers] to make the residents of the entire [Emerald Ancient City] fall into this endless hell on earth.

Thinking of this possibility, Xia En couldn't help but feel a little numb.

What kind of hatred would make people do such a crazy thing?

On the other hand.

[Secret Power of Ember], coupled with the restless [Certificate of the King of Xin], naturally reminded Xia En of the king who left the [Treasure of Embers] - King of Xin!

Could this secret power be his handiwork?

Although it was just an intuition, Xia En instinctively denied this conjecture.

The man in his memory who burned himself like firewood on the Throne of Fire should not do such a thing.

The last doubt is...

According to legend, the civilization of elves is buried under the cold sea, but according to Xia En's observation, the humanoid embers in the "Emerald City" seem to be just ordinary humans.

Its architectural style does not reveal the uniqueness of the elves...

Squeak——

Just as Shane was thinking about these questions, the door to the captain's cabin was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Along with it, there was Joey's questioning voice.

"Mr. Captain, I'm coming in~"

"...?!"

Xia En was stunned for a moment and had not yet reacted.

His eyes collided with the little head with white hair and red eyes that peeked in from the door.

Looking at Shane, who was shirtless, showing off his beautiful body, and Joey, who was wearing a furry fox fur coat, his cheeks quickly turned from white to red.

Soon, even the roots of the ears were dyed crimson.

...I really want to touch it.

An idea suddenly popped into Joey's mind.

‘How, how could this be possible! That's the respected captain! This is so...so shameless! ’

She shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the reverie in her heart.

Although Joey and Shane had bathed together intimately when they were on the Ancestor Island in the Siren Archipelago, and they had also seen those smooth and graceful muscle lines.

But at that time, Xia En was still wearing thin clothes out of etiquette.

Moreover, the feeling of active display and accidental bumping into each other are completely different.

It's like something good happened suddenly today.

Not to mention, the dark red and strange lines amplified Xia En's inherent "charming" temperament.

Especially the sunken lines in the gaps between the abdominal muscles are inexplicably attractive.

Seeing Joey staring at his abs, Shane didn't quite understand.

Is this thing really that special for women?

"...Ahem."

Shane coughed twice and reminded: "Joy, why did you come in suddenly?"

"ah!"

Joey suddenly came back to his senses and quickly explained with his little hands.

"Mr. Knight reminded me that Captain, you might be suffering from some kind of pain and asked me to come to the captain's cabin to take a look."

"I have knocked on the door before, but Mr. Captain did not respond to me. In desperation, I just..."

After hearing this, Xia En understood clearly.

An has the talent of [Knight’s Protection].

I am afraid that when Xia En was absorbing the [Secret Power of Embers], some of his mental pain was shared by him, and he became aware of it.

As for the fact that he didn't hear the knock on the door, it was also because the level of the ship soul had increased and the impact of the [Secret Power of Ember] was too strong.

Thinking of this, Xia En said with relief: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Joey breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Xia En still looked at her and reminded her carefully: "I'm going to change clothes. Can you go out first?"

But suddenly, at this moment.

clang! clang! clang!

A rapid alarm bell sounded on the deck, causing the two people's expressions to change suddenly.

Shane immediately put on a coat and rushed to the deck with Joey.

Arriving on the deck, the sight in front of him made Xia En frown slightly.

I saw that the ice sheet on the sea was cracking.

One after another, sea beasts covered with magic patterns were chipping away at the glacier, chewing on the ice crystals, and crawling out of the ice.

They let out a thundering roar and surged towards the [Black Swan] like a tide!
