Chapter 81: Sea Snake and Giant Whale
Wu Chang activated the Ocean Kin transformation; he felt his body seemingly turn into liquid, his bones stretching continuously as flesh and blood "flowed" along them.
That sensation was extremely wondrous, as if he had personally experienced a complete species evolution in the span of a single second.
Once his body stabilized, he went before a mirror and discovered that the self in the reflection had turned into a very novel monster.
His upper body largely retained a human appearance, while from the base of his thighs downward, his legs fused together, transforming into a thick, nearly two-meter-long snake tail.
In the Sea Snake transformation state, his entire body was covered in tough black snake scales; under the light, pale blue patterns shimmered across the black scales, appearing both gorgeous and lethal.
His chin became slender and sharp, and the space between his tongue and two canine teeth became hollow, with the cavity leading directly to his dantian.
Whenever he wished, he could convert energy into venom and spit it out from the hollow.
In addition to his teeth and throat being able to spray venom, two thick fangs also sprouted from the tips of his elbows.
Increased caliber, doubled the joy.
If anyone were to be elbowed by him now, it would absolutely be more explosive than being bitten by him ten times over.
"Bloodline Talent: Ocean Kin — Sea Snake"
"Transformation Description: Activate the power of the bloodline within to incarnate as Ocean Kin. In Ocean Kin form, you gain the Ocean Affinity state, allowing you to move freely in water. All skills cast in water will not have their effects reduced, and water-attribute skill effects are increased."
"Talent Skill: Snake Venom"
"Skill Description: In Ocean Kin state, your energy attribute increases by 50%. You can convert energy into soul toxin. Targets hit by the snake venom will lose control of their bodies, enter a poisoned state, and suffer continuous poison damage. The damage value and duration are influenced by the user's energy and inspiration attributes, respectively."
"Soul Toxin: A special toxin targeting intelligent life; the toxin reaches directly to the soul. Energy entities and non-flesh-and-blood life forms cannot be immune."
"Talent Skill: Miasma"
"Skill Description: Instantly spit out a large amount of mist-like venom, filling the surrounding air or water to conduct area-of-effect damage and apply soul toxin to targets."
"Talent Skill: Amphibious"
"Skill Description: Sea Snakes possess powerful adaptability, allowing them to survive on land. This powerful adaptability grants the user partial transformation abilities, allowing them to use parts of the Sea Snake's abilities at any time in any environment."
Soul toxin was very good and powerful, and the Miasma skill, combined with the snake fangs after transformation, allowed for both single-target and group attacks.
The Sea Snake transformation's appearance was filled with a sense of danger; compared to the fish-head monster that didn't look very smart at first glance, it was simply better by more than just a little bit.
But regarding this result, Wu Chang could only say it was barely acceptable.
After all, the official name of the Golden Flying Fish was Deep Sea Gift; mentioning the deep sea easily brought to mind thalassophobia and megalophobia.
A thing like a sea snake, in the end, was somewhat beneath notice.
Unless one day it could transform from a jiao into a dragon, the upper limit was still too low.
He glanced at his elbow where the snake fang had grown and whispered:
"Man! Is it because of you?"
He sighed, deactivated the Ocean Kin transformation, summoned his True Self into the room, and began to continue devouring the Golden Flying Fish.
The first randomization was not satisfactory, but he still had a second chance!
The True Self opened wide, pulled back his molars, and after a frantic feast, also activated the Ocean Kin transformation.
As the bloodline transformation opened, with a bang, the ceiling of the post office lounge was punched through, leaving a hole.
A giant man nearly five meters tall appeared before Wu Chang.
"You have activated an Ocean Kin bloodline compatible with you."
"You have obtained the bloodline transformation effect — Ocean Kin: Giant Whale."
"Bloodline Talent: Ocean Kin — Giant Whale"
"Transformation Description: Omitted"
"Talent Skill: Whale Swallow"
"Skill Description: In Ocean Kin state, your strength attribute increases by 50%; devouring enemies can grant a temporary strength attribute cap and temporarily increase your own body size. Each enemy devoured will temporarily lower your willpower cap by 0.5. Duration: One plane."
Wu Chang rubbed his eyes, confirming it twice before he dared to believe it. He threw a punch fiercely and shouted: "Retract!"
What is a Deep Sea Gift? This is what you call a Deep Sea Gift!
When activating the bloodline, the system's prompt was that he had activated a "compatible" Ocean Kin bloodline.
The True Self could pull out a Giant Whale on the first try; is this the gold content of the future "Immortal Transformation" upper limit?
Recalling the arrangements Chi Yuan made to defy the heavens and change fate—plundering all living things to recreate the True Self!
At the time, he still had some complaints about Chi Yuan's actions, the main point of his complaint being that the plan had targeted him.
Looking at the True Self who had obtained the Giant Whale transformation now, he only wanted to say: "Chi Yuan, you did well!"
Although the Giant Whale transformation only had one skill, the effect was absolutely simple and brutal.
If he could choose, he would choose the Giant Whale transformation a hundred times over and would not choose the Sea Snake.
Big is good, and good is big!
Especially since the Giant Whale transformation could stack strength attributes through eating, its physique was absolutely tough enough.
What man wouldn't want to possess a Giant Whale that is both big and hard?
After the excitement of the Ocean Kin transformation, it was time for Wu Chang and the True Self to perform emergency repairs on the post office ceiling.
Wu Chang controlled two bodies by himself, busy for an hour before sealing the ceiling with wooden boards, nails, kraft paper, tape, an eye mask, and a gag.
!
Yes, that's right, he used a gag.
The gag wasn't to plug the small hole, but to plug Ma Di's mouth.
Because the True Self had brought Ma Di back to the post office, and he was now hidden in the attic.
Another benefit of working hard was revealed at this moment.
Because he completed his work in a timely manner, the townspeople would not come in the middle of the night to urge the postman to deliver packages; in fact, to avoid disturbing his rest, everyone deliberately avoided the post office when moving about at night.
This allowed everything that happened inside the post office to go unnoticed by any townspeople.
After tidying everything up, Wu Chang controlled the True Self to walk up to the attic and removed the gag from Ma Di's mouth.
Ma Di had already woken up; he stared fixedly at Wu Chang's True Self and asked: "Where is this?"
"The attic of a certain building. Don't worry, I've already handled the residents downstairs; no one will discover us. We have plenty of time."
Wu Chang sat beside Ma Di and said in a pleasant tone.
Ma Di shivered and turned his head, not daring to look at Wu Chang.
He was going crazy; in his not-so-short life, he had never encountered such a bizarre thing.
The black-robed person in front of him had almost broken all the rules in the town, broken into his grocery store, launched an attack on him, and obtained a large batch of Divine Grace through inexplicable methods.
He even framed him for the crime of stealing Divine Grace right in front of his face.
The black-robed person had committed so many heinous crimes against him, yet when facing the black-robed person, he couldn't even summon hatred.
Even his gaze toward the black-robed person was filled with gentleness and approval.
Every time he thought of this, he felt a fear from the depths of his soul.
He couldn't control his own thoughts, couldn't even control his own feelings; was there anything more terrifying than this?
Soon he found out that there really was.
"Mr. Ma Di, there is one thing I need to tell you: after we left, the angry townspeople smashed everything in your grocery store and burned everything in the shop to the ground."
"The good news is that your wife and children were not implicated, and their lives will not be affected. Giles, the owner of the butcher shop near your house, as your best brother, has already taken over your family."
"You didn't see it; they were so affectionate, crying and then kissing each other. It made me blush just watching; Giles will definitely take good care of your wife."
After hearing Wu Chang's good news, Ma Di's face, which had been pale from blood loss, instantly turned red to purple, and purple to green.
Wu Chang continued: "The bad news is that in Brifor town, there is no longer a place for you, whether it be family or work. This really makes me feel regretful."
"Now, in the whole world, I am the only one left who can listen to you talk properly."
"As long as you answer my questions, I will let you go and do whatever you want to do. Whether it's leaving Brifor to start a new life, or defending yourself and settling scores with Giles, it's all fine."
"Mr. Ma Di, shall we chat?"
