Chapter 345: Section 132: Replacing Holy-level Fighting Energy

Looking at the records of War Merchants entering and leaving the Sky Pillar Sea Eye, Zi Di sighed, “So, the War Merchant had entered the Sky Pillar in the Sea Eye long ago. Perhaps, Mermaid’s Fairy Tale was snatched from the Charming Blue Divine Sect by him.”

But the Dragon-man youth shook his head, “No, I don’t think the War Merchant is in an antagonistic relation with the Charming Blue Divine Sect. They should be cooperating.”

“Do you remember the great battle in the Sky Pillar Sea Eye?” the Dragon-man youth turned to Cang Xu, “What were those Fishmen shouting when the Deep Sea Monster Fish made its first public appearance?”

Cang Xu nodded slightly, “If I remember correctly, they called the Deep Sea Monster Fish a Holy Beast.”

“Yes,” the Dragon-man youth nodded, “I gathered intelligence in Sea Eye City and also obtained information about a Holy Beast. ‘The Fifth Lord’ is a permanent resident of Sea Eye City as a child of a Holy Beast, but there are also tales of another Holy Beast among the locals. This Holy Beast appears occasionally and looks like a gigantic fish. It must be referring to the Deep Sea Monster Fish.”

Besides that, there was another ironclad piece of evidence, but the Dragon-man youth chose to keep it secret.

That was the third Blood Core.

At that time, after the youth returned to the Deep Sea Monster Fish with the Goddess Mei Lan in his arms, he unexpectedly found the third Blood Core between her breasts.

In these few days, the youth also quietly came to a conclusion.

“The War Merchant must have been cooperating with the Charming Blue Divine Sect already.”

“Quite possibly, the Charming Blue Divine Sect gave the War Merchant the Divine Artifact, Mermaid’s Fairy Tale, and in exchange, the War Merchant used the third Blood Core.”

“Periodically, the War Merchant pilots the Deep Sea Monster Fish to the Sky Pillar Sea Eye, replenishing enough Divine Power from the clergy, including priests, of the Charming Blue Divine Sect.”

“And the War Merchant also helped the Charming Blue Divine Sect, constructing an Alchemy Array, with a Blood Core as its core, and with additional deceit towards the Divine Domain, it appeared as miraculous Holy Water, providing a divine effect in enhancing the Fishman’s bloodline within their bodies.”

“The Divine Authority of the Charming Blue God does not have any involvement in bloodline or life-related Divine Power in regards to deception and disguise.”

Thinking this, the Dragon-man said to the two Mages present, “If the War Merchant were opposing the Charming Blue God, the noise of a great battle erupting couldn’t possibly be hidden from Sea Eye City, so close by. Nor would the Deep Sea Monster be regarded as a Holy Beast.”

“Since it’s acknowledged as a Holy Beast, it must be with the tacit approval of the Charming Blue Divine Sect.”

Cang Xu mused, “This guess is very likely the truth. Think about it; both the War Merchant and the Charming Blue God are enemies of the Empire.”

The War Merchant is one of the top ten wanted figures, and the Charming Blue God once engaged in a divine battle with the Empire’s Great Dukes. Even now, the Holy Emperor is still searching for His traces, and the Goddess Mei Lan cannot even return to the Divine Country.

Zi Di’s eyes lit up, “Since the War Merchant and Goddess Mei Lan are in a cooperative relationship, if we directly present Mermaid’s Fairy Tale to the Goddess, She might just charge the Divine Artifact.”

Cang Xu quickly shook his head, “That action would be too risky.”

“Our ship ghost discovered that both gods were eagerly confrontational; if we get trapped in a standoff, we also lack the ability to disguise ourselves. Hastily pulling out the Divine Artifact might trigger the Goddess’s awakening or disrupt the stalemate between the two gods.”

“Indeed,” agreed the Dragon-man, “we should stick to the original plan and use the Desecration Priest to secretly extract Divine Power.”

Cang Xu spoke sternly, “I will do my utmost, Captain.”

At this, Zi Di added, “Interestingly, in the restored memory storage, there are quite a few schematics for Alchemy Puppets. Hmm… I think we can make a few Repairers. These are spherical puppets with propellers on their heads; the sphere can be fitted with repair components. With three such puppets, along with specific repair tools, we won’t need to handle the arrays on and outside of Deep Sea Monster Fish ourselves.”

This good news immediately caught the attention of the youth and the Undead Mage.

After discussing it, they all agreed: the best strategy was to create the Repairer Puppets, and use them to repair the Deep Sea Monster Fish. This approach would be the most efficient, save the most time, and also provide long-term benefits in the future.

The Deep Sea Monster Fish was originally equipped with Alchemy Puppets, which are general-purpose worker puppets, competent at everything, but masters of none. Thus, repairing the Deep Sea Monster Fish could only meet basic standards.

But the Repairer Puppets were different; they were specifically designed by the War Merchant for repair type tasks, experts in their field, naturally resulting in superior repair outcomes.

In the realm of alchemy, puppet crafting is not where the War Merchant excels. However, he is an alchemy master, and even if it’s not his strong suit, for the Justice Pirate Group and even the outside world, they are high-quality, priceless commodities.

With Zong Ge in a coma, the highest pillars of the Justice Pirate Group were the Dragon-man youth, Zi Di, and Cang Xu.

Having decided on their plans, Cang Xu and Zi Di left the Core Cabin, while the Dragon-man stayed.

He stroked the Tower Spirit housed within the Crystal Ball, channeling his spirit to access the information within.

He mainly looked at Fighting energy techniques and Combat Skills.

The Sky Pillar Sea Eye battle had given losses and gains to the Justice Pirate Group. The losses mainly included personnel and ships; the members of the Justice Pirate Group suffered many casualties and some were missing, such as the grey-clad Feng Yao, whose whereabouts remain unknown. Additionally, their supply of Pearl Bubble had exhausted.

However, their gains included the Goddess Mei Lan, the Truth Divine Pupil, and the third Blood Core.

Clearly, in terms of value, the gains of the Justice Pirate Group were immense; the losses were minor in comparison. This also made the situations of the Dragon-man youth and the others increasingly severe and dangerous.

If discovered, these gains would be the greatest cause for their destruction.

The dilemma faced by the Navy Rear Admiral Kan Qiao and others further stirred the youth’s heart, filling him with a sense of crisis.

Over the three days since departing from the Sky Pillar Sea Eye, he constantly reassessed himself, feeling that he needed to quickly boost his power, focusing intensively on the Blood Core.

The third Blood Core, accidentally obtained from Goddess Mei Lan, had already been assimilated by the youth’s own Blood Core. The third contained a variety of Fishman Bloodlines, with the three strongest bloodlines being the Shark Blue Fishman Bloodline, the Algae Washing Fishman Bloodline, and the Bolang Fishman Bloodline.

All of them were of the Divine Level!

These three Divine Bloodlines represent the domains of Fighting Energy, Magic, and Divine Arts, respectively.

The Shark Blue Fishman Bloodline was the first bloodline the youth acquired. Previously, a mutation had occurred when he bathed in the Holy Spring, but it was not a complete bloodline.

After absorbing the third Blood Core, the youth’s three Divine Bloodlines were all at 100%!

Using the Shark Blue Fishman Bloodline to cultivate Fighting Energy proved to be much more efficient than using the King of Flame Dragon Bloodline. However, in the areas of Magic and Divine Arts, it was only slightly better than that of the King of Flame Dragon.

The same logic applied to washing seaweed and Bolang.

The Fishman is a Lower Species, while the Dragon Clan is considered superior. Therefore, the number and quality of Divine Bloodlines possessed by the Fishman are far inferior to those of the Dragon Clan.

“The bloodline of the King of Flame Dragon is of legendary grade. However, I only devoured one King of Flame Dragon, so the bloodline is very incomplete, but the Shark Blue bloodline is at 100%.”

The youth had already used the Shark Blue Bloodline in real combat, and the overall performance was not much different from the Dragon-man form. There were two main reasons for this. The first was that the enemy was too strong, making it difficult to discern differences between the two forms. The second reason was the Shark Blue Fishman Form’s lack of corresponding Fighting Energy techniques and Combat Skills.

“If I pair the Shark Blue Fishman Form with suitable Fighting Energy techniques and Combat Skills, then my combat power will surely surpass the current Dragon-man form!”

Soon, a hint of joy flashed across the youth’s face.

“I do have suitable Fighting Energy techniques for me!”

The War Merchant’s collection of Fighting Energy techniques was extensive. Being legendary level and immensely wealthy, he had access to resources ordinary people couldn’t obtain.

Although there were noticeable gaps in the Memory Bank, the Dragon-man youth still found a Fighting Energy technique suitable for himself.

The name of this technique was Light and Thin Fate Technique.

It was a Fighting Energy technique used by the Fishman Race, not the Human Race.

The bodily structure of a Fishman is similar to humans, but there are many differences compared to the Human Race.

Light and Thin Fate Technique was most suitable for the Shark Blue Fishman Form. If it were a Human Race technique, the youth would have to exert much effort and time to modify it.

From a grading perspective, the Light and Thin Fate Technique was of Holy Domain Grade.

Its greatest advantage lay in speed.

Cultivating it allowed the fighter to move and strike incredibly fast.

Of course, it also greatly surpassed the Blast Fighting Energy Technique in terms of defense, strength, injury recovery, and energy restoration.

The latter was, after all, only of Silver Level.

It was worth noting for the youth that the Light and Thin Fate Technique had a significant downside.

This downside was that the Fishman who cultivated this technique would see their scales gradually become thinner and lighter over time, eventually becoming as brittle as paper, causing their defense to plummet.

“If it weren’t for this drawback, this Fighting Energy technique might reach the Legendary Grade!”

The technique also provided a solution for coping with this significant disadvantage.

That was to periodically scrape off scales, allowing new scales to regrow.

“I am not a true Shark Blue Fishman, but rather transformed due to a Blood Core Mutation. Perhaps, I can simply ignore this drawback?”

Following that, the youth focused on memorizing the content of this Fighting Energy technique.

After firmly remembering it, he left the Core Cabin and immediately plunged into the sea to begin his cultivation.

They had just arrived at Dagger Town, having completed the initial exchange of supplies, and expected to finish completely in three more days.

“At least for now, it’s relatively safe.”

During the period of transitioning his internal Fighting Energy, the youth’s combat strength would be greatly reduced, leaving him in a weakened state. But he had an intuition telling him if he gave this up, he wouldn’t have such an opportunity again for some time.

In the deep sea at night, there was not a trace of light.

But the Shark Blue youth’s vision was clear, finding tranquility and comfort in the chilly darkness of the water.

He dived deeper and deeper.

The Deep Sea Monster Fish had already explored the surroundings, discovering seabed whirlpools in the area.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The water in the seabed whirlpools moved like blades, spinning rapidly, causing all nearby life to avoid them.

Yet, this was the perfect place to cultivate the Light and Thin Fate Technique.

Taking a deep breath of seawater, his fish gills immediately activated, extracting the oxygen for the Shark Blue youth.

The next moment, the youth plunged into the whirlpool, throwing caution to the wind.
