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

"...Hidden profession?!"

"[The one favored by the deep sea?]"

Seeing these lines of text, Xia En was stunned.

At least in his memory, he had never heard of any hidden professions above the Seven Seas.

[Captain] Isn’t the second-level professional of the secret path called [Wanderer]?

[Deep Sea Favorite] What happened again?

Xia En didn't wait to figure out these issues.

The next moment, a raging mysterious ancient wave rolled in from an unexplorable place, washing away his body and soul.

Moreover, it is different from the last promotion.

Xia En vaguely felt that some kind of deep, cold substance had entered his body and was undergoing subtle transformation.

In his ears, he heard an ethereal call.

It seems to come from the depths of the [Secret Sea], in that lightless place that should be dark...

Maybe for a moment, or maybe for eternity.

When Xia En's vision returned to normal, a brand new prompt popped up in front of his eyes.

[You have received a gift from the "Secret Sea"! 】

【Your personal attributes have increased! 】

[Current fit: 0/100]

[Required potion materials: Tianyao Sea Star...]

…

"So strong!"

"This talent, this skill, this status... is indeed a hidden profession!"

Xia En's heart was racing and his eyes were astonishingly bright.

Compared with the first-level [Captain], the second-level [Deep Sea Favorite] gave him quite a surprise.

[The Blessing of the Sea] This talent seems ordinary.

Anyone who has ever been on the sea knows the importance of the word "luck".

Isn't the reason why the original owner was abandoned by the crew and almost turned into a toy of the Duchess because he was unlucky and suffered two failed voyages?

On the sea, there are countless stories of treasures being discovered by accident, legends of turning things around in one fell swoop, or stories of people being destroyed and ships being destroyed in storms.

Although the description also states that there will be dangers.

But they are all making a living at sea, so it would be unrealistic without risks!

Moreover, since it is all "favored", generally speaking, the advantages should outweigh the disadvantages, right?

The newly added skill [Deep Touch] is an active skill given by this promotion.

The functions are quite comprehensive.

Can be used both as a tracking method and as a finishing move to end the fight.

Now Xia En actually mainly relies on pure numerical crushing when fighting.

[Blood Shape Secret Technique] and [Shadow Sword Technique] are only auxiliary means.

And to be honest, [Shadow Swordsmanship] can no longer keep up with the intensity of Xia En's battle.

It's okay to torture the vegetables and clear out the mobs.

But once you face some powerful enemies, if you cannot defeat them in the second stage of [Man-Ship Integration], you will be forced into a protracted battle.

And this [Deep Touch] that superimposes marks and detonates...

To a certain extent, it makes up for the shortcomings of Xia En's relatively monotonous attack method and adds key finishing capabilities.

The specific effect needs to be confirmed through actual combat.

However, what made Xia En feel a little weird.

This skill obviously comes from the [Sir of the Netherworld] under the secret sea.

"Is it possible that I cut off too many of his tentacles and gained some of his abilities?"

"Then if I had successfully killed Him before, would it be..."

Shane shook his head, expelling this bold idea from his mind, and looked at the last [Call of the Deep Sea].

The increase in mental resistance is secondary.

More importantly, this status describes "professional compatibility" and "new rank".

How to advance to a higher rank has always been a question that has puzzled Xia En.

He only vaguely knew that by doing things that fit the profession, he would be able to meet the prerequisites for promotion.

But the specific things that are considered suitable for the profession and how to achieve the prerequisites can only rely on a vague feeling.

The [Call of the Deep Sea] allowed Xia En to see a clear direction of progress, and even clearly provided the required potion materials.

"Maybe it's because... [Deep Sea Favorite] is a unique hidden profession."

"It's different from the potions required for regular career advancement, so why is it specially marked?"

Xia En guessed in his mind.

But no matter what, it's always a good thing to be able to clearly see the way forward and know how to improve.

As for why he obtained this hidden profession.

Xia En didn't think much about it.

Anyway, it must be inseparable from his [Eye of the Secret Sea].

Moreover, after witnessing the hellish difficulty of the first trial, Xia En realized that he was destined to embark on a promotion path that was different from others.

The [Deep Sea Murloc] and [Youshui Descendants] that appeared in the ritual were obviously not monsters that would appear when ordinary mystics were promoted.

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

There’s no reason why the promotion difficulty should be so perverted but not give any extra benefits, right?

Especially this promotion process, Xia En can't help but feel a little scared when he thinks about it now.

It is very reasonable to obtain a hidden profession!

Feeling the surging power in his body, Xia En raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked out the window at the blood moon hanging high in the sky.

"In this way, the formula for victory is all confirmed."

"Tomorrow night is the time for the decisive battle!"
