Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye was familiarizing himself with the changes brought about by his class change to [Pastor of the Sea].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’First, there are the base attributes.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Profession Attribute Bonus: Attack +36, Defense +16, Evasion +3, Mystic +3]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye remembered that before his class change, the attribute bonus for [Tide Hunter Lv. 10] was [Attack +33, Defense +13].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Every level up as a Pastor of the Sea increases all attributes by +3.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And in addition to Attack and Defense, I’ve gained two new attributes: Evasion and Mystic.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye took the appearance of new attribute types very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had conducted numerous tests over the past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Su Ye’s tests...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Evasion attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its initial effects manifested as a bonus to the movement speed of his Escape Techniques, as well as a chance to be immune to negative effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When converted into a bonus for his ship, the attribute was called ’Mobility.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Mystic attribute...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its external manifestations were not obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye could barely perceive it through conventional means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Perhaps... the Mystic attribute’s bonus to me is an enhancement to my ’Personhood’?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guess surfaced as Su Ye pondered this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was in no hurry to verify it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even with just the Attack, Defense, and Evasion attributes, the bonuses provided by Pastor of the Sea are far stronger than those of a Tide Hunter!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll just consider the Mystic attribute a little extra for now...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye didn’t dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he began testing his exclusive skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The exclusive skills for a Pastor of the Sea are divided into [Heart of the Vast Sea] and [Monarch of Calamity].’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former was both a skill and a state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye could feel the heart in his chest beating vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At its core, it shimmered with a deep blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s a bit conspicuous.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But with my fifth-level Body Refining cultivation and a Divine Sense stronger than my peers, I have enough control to lock down its aura and conceal the abnormality.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Besides, even if it were exposed, it probably wouldn’t be a huge problem?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was common for the physical bodies of high-level cultivators to have some abnormalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some high-level cultivators, seeking to enhance their combat strength or extend their lifespans,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>would even go so far as to transplant certain organs and limbs from demonic beasts or demonic plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to those cultivators, whose appearances were clearly different from ordinary people,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his abnormal heart could only be described as unremarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye was more concerned with the skill effects of the Heart of the Vast Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BUZZ!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Divine Sense spread out as he activated the Heart of the Vast Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Su Ye felt as if his consciousness had connected with this stretch of the sea, resonating with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWISH.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye waved his hand casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying ice spear, like a battering ram, formed in an instant, thundering across hundreds of yards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then cast several more water-elemental spells: water dragons, Fog Concealment, Ice Seals...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The performance was so outstanding that even Su Ye himself was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After activating Heart of the Vast Sea, casting all these water-elemental spells is completely effortless.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even the bloodline spells of demonic beasts aren’t this easy...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Furthermore, the power of the spells has nearly doubled, but the cost is less than a third of what it used to be...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’At the same time...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s feet moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a pool of clear water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BUZZ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several miles away on the sea’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s figure emerged unhurriedly from the seawater!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back, looked at the hull of the Ghostly Flood Dragon, and smiled. With a mere thought, his body disintegrated once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s figure was once again standing on the deck of the Ghostly Flood Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Water Escape Skill!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Elements Escape Skill seemed simple, but in reality, it involved many profound mysteries and could not be attempted by anyone below the Crystal stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of the Heart of the Vast Sea, Su Ye had mastered this ability ahead of schedule!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Water Escape Skill, his combat power and survivability in the great sea were drastically enhanced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye discovered that activating the Heart of the Vast Sea also provided a buff to the Ghostly Flood Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could control the sea winds and ocean currents to augment the Ghostly Flood Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In terms of sailing speed, it’s nearly doubled.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And its resistance to maritime disasters is greatly enhanced?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No, it’s not that its resistance is enhanced. Rather, it’s now seen as a part of the ocean itself, no longer targeted by the ocean’s spirit...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye continued to sense the changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grew thoughtful as an understanding dawned on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many bonuses from [Heart of the Vast Sea] were merely a surface-level manifestation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its true nature was to resonate with the ocean’s spirit and share in its authority!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And [Monarch of Calamity] was the same!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’These two exclusive skills seem to be a yin and yang, corresponding to the gentle and violent aspects of the ocean’s spirit...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this what it means to be a [Pastor of the Sea]? For the exclusive skills to be so extraordinary...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint shone in Su Ye’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, the exclusive skill provided by the Tide Hunter class, the ’Whale-Hunting Spear,’ was immensely powerful and had provided Su Ye with crucial assistance many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had to admit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Whale-Hunting Spear, and even its subsequent derivative, ’Soul-Chasing, Life-Reaping,’ was still confined to the realm of ’technique.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two exclusive skills of a [Pastor of the Sea] seemed to have... already touched upon the domain of the ’Dao’?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Perhaps, with the help of these two exclusive skills, I can comprehend the rudiments of a Divine Technique?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not some wishful thinking or a world-shocking notion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perceiving the nature of heaven and earth to comprehend Divine Techniques was the most orthodox and ancient method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators of antiquity didn’t have things like ’Crystal Skills’ or ’Divine Technique Seeds.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the most outstanding among them could still achieve the True Method Golden Core and master their own Lifebound Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye deactivated the [Heart of the Vast Sea] state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deep blue halo in his heart withdrew and became restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having completed the class change to [Pastor of the Sea], Su Ye was in a very pleasant mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exclusive skills from this class change provided him with powerful combat strength and a profound foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Under these circumstances, it seems... I don’t need to be in such a hurry to run?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint shone in Su Ye’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to think about the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange events in the Dongning Sea Region were escalating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially on this trip to the Chaotic Reef District, Su Ye had even sensed a third-order existence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sea region was showing signs of becoming the center of a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Su Ye quite anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donglong Island’s Island Protection Array would be difficult to defend against a third-order existence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, during this period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye had planned to persuade the core members of the Luo Family to temporarily leave Donglong Island after he returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But now, I can put that plan on hold.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process of changing his class to Pastor of the Sea had given Su Ye the ability to sense the three great keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he could locate that native third-order being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This way, with my strength after the class change, the risk of remaining on Donglong Island isn’t actually that high.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye analyzed calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a direct threat to his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Donglong Island to rent a Spiritual Cave Arena was not necessarily a good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Su Ye had many secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spirit ship, the Ghostly Flood Dragon, was especially conspicuous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Donglong Island, which was completely under his control, he could conceal the superiority of its Arrays and performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be difficult to do the same at a rented Spiritual Cave Arena!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, on the premise that my safety is guaranteed...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...using Donglong Island’s Spirit Vein to rapidly increase my strength is the optimal solution!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’At least... until I break through to the Mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third update, today’s 6,000 characters are done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bit late, my apologies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still getting back on track.\u003C\u002Fp>",1435,"2026-06-05T21:02:39.312Z",1,"novelbin.me","8f9ad6572c80f78c5ad4dca53474409a3f8f0f3cd0b01e86c2b4364bbb168d38","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-119","grinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-chapter-117",236,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrinding-exp-from-a-demon-hunting-ship-cover.jpg"]
