'Mermaid version of Earthly Paradise!'
An image had already appeared in Chen Changan's mind. A group of half-human, half-fish girls swayed their waists and pounced on him. The most beautiful mermaid among them was extremely beautiful, and she obtained the opportunity to board the ship.
On the boat, Chen Changan and the mermaid girl were tightly entangled together. Their breathing became hurried, and as he caressed the mermaid's smooth and delicate skin, he could no longer suppress his impulse…
"Ah…"
Several days later, the mermaid was on her back, lying on the bed with him. The two of them were whispering embarrassing lovey-dovey sentences to each other.
'Stop!' Chen Changan suddenly had a terrifying thought. 'Mermaids don't necessarily grow according to human standards. What if it's a mermaid with a fish head and human body?'
A mermaid girl with a fish head walked over slowly and said lovey-dovey sentences while revealing her sharp teeth. "Handsome, come and play."
Chen Changan instantly calmed down.
This scene was too beautiful and suffocating.
He tried to forget the image he had just imagined, but he couldn't forget the appearance of the fish-head girl. It was so deeply ingrained in his mind that it had reached the level of his DNA.
Chen Changan rubbed his temples and said with lingering fear, "Hiss, I'd better drink this bottle of Mermaid Spring quickly. If I drink it, I won't be able to see the mermaid anymore."
Chen Changan opened the bottle cap, and a faint milky fragrance wafted out.
"It smells delicious." After saying that, Chen Changan raised his neck and took a small sip.
It was smooth when swallowed!
The rich milky fragrance almost covered every single taste bud on the tip of his tongue, and the spring water flowed smoothly into his throat. The extreme sweetness of the milk made Chen Changan swallow it in large mouthfuls.
Gulp gulp gulp gulp gulp!
There was only a mere 20g of Mermaid Spring in the glass bottle, and he finished it in one gulp.
However, Chen Changan was uncultured. Faced with such delicious food, he could only praise, "Delicious!"
A wave of gentle energy surged from his stomach to his body. Chen Changan could clearly feel that every part of his body was filled with vitality.
He even felt that his entire body was filled with energy. Even if he were to pull out a weeping willow, he might be able to do it.
What Chen Changan didn't know was that even if it was a diluted Mermaid Spring, an ordinary human's body could only absorb five to ten grams of it. If he drank it all in one go, it would only result in serious wastage.
Right at this moment, another strand of warm aura surged out from Chen Changan's bloodline, and it absorbed the Mermaid Spring's pure energy with his body.
"Congratulations, you have awakened the weak Water Spirit Bloodline. Progress: 12.58%."
"Congratulations, you have awakened the weak Water Spirit Bloodline. Progress: 22.33%."
"Congratulations, you have awakened the weak Water Spirit Bloodline. Progress: 43.99%."
The Mermaid Spring combined with the Essence of the Sea, further excavating the Water Spirit bloodline's potential.
Chen Changan unconsciously stretched out his hand, and large amounts of water vapor gathered toward his palm, forming a small water ball in the blink of an eye.
"Magic?" Before Chen Changan could feel happy, the water ball disintegrated on its own.
The falling water ball wet his long-sleeved shirt.
"This… At most, it can be considered a water creation technique. The water volume is only about 200 to 300 milliliters."
Chen Changan could clearly feel that his control over the water vapor in the air had greatly increased, but he still lacked the ability to push the 'water ball' out.
He sighed and said, "There will be plenty of time in the future. When I raise the awakening progress of my Water Spirit Bloodline to 100%, a mere Water Ball Spell will not be a problem."
The strengthening of the Mermaid Spring was still ongoing while Chen Changan studied the delivery mission's next reward—the Deep Sea World's blessings.
The system gave a prompt: "Omitted."
At that moment, Chen recalled the fear of his winter vacation homework being dominated by 'Answer: Omitted.'
When Chen Changan was still a student, he could only copy the answer to the previous question every time he encountered the 'Answer: Omitted' question.
Fortunately, the teachers never marked homework for winter and summer holidays. Even when Chen Changan wrote a small essay in his essay 'A particular English teacher accepted a smoking pig leg from the hooligan's father and agreed to let the hooligan continue going to school,' nobody had seen this secret.
There was only one ending to all the summer and winter homework—being sold as waste paper.
Chen Changan woke up from his memories and pondered, 'What's the use of the Deep Sea World's blessings? Also, 0.0001% is too low. But on second thought, just 0.0001% of the world's blessings could be distributed together with the Mermaid Spring as a reward. The world's blessings must have great potential value.'
The 200 Enas was the same. This was 200 gold coins, which weighed 50 grams. On the front was a human head with a long beard and a crown, and on the back was a pattern.
'The design is exquisite, and it could be the Deep Sea World's main currency. When I officially enter the Deep Sea World, it might be of great use.'
Before putting it into the market, Chen Changan set a price of two Enas to prevent anyone from buying it at a high price.
Chen Changan hugged the Mazu statue as he fell asleep. The Mermaid Spring in his body had yet to be exhausted, and it was still continuously developing the power of the Water Spirit Bloodline, causing even more warmth to condense and circulate.
When they flowed through several of Chen Changan's scars, the cells under the scars grew faster. Then, healthy skin grew out.
…
The next day, late in the morning.
Chen Changan came to the joint raft again, only to find that their family was about to have lunch. However, Old Man Ji had just woken up and was speaking eloquently. "Having sufficient sleep is more important than breakfast."
Chen Changan cursed silently. "Why don't you just admit that you weren't able to wake up?"
Seeing Chen Changan arrive, Old Man Ji blushed and coughed twice. "Let's begin."
Chen Changan shrugged and focused his attention on the red line on the round barrel.
Old Man Ji jumped up, and his eyes almost popped out. He said incredulously, "What a fast saber!"
Just as he finished speaking, the edge of the blade passed through!
A long blade wrapped in white cloth struck the red line, cutting the round wooden barrel in half with great force!
"It was destroyed with just one slash?" Chen Changan had witnessed the Mermaid Spring's power last night, but the performance before him had once again exceeded his expectations.
The awakening progress of the Water Spirit Bloodline had reached 64.33%!
His vision had also recovered to 5.0. Even though he was far away, he could clearly see the traces of fish blood on the red line.
Chen Changan didn't need to hold the steel saber tightly, and the stability of his hand when wielding the saber had also greatly increased.
Most importantly, strength!
Chen Changan did a simple test and found that the muscles on his arms and legs had obviously been strengthened by about 60% to 70%. Although he didn't dare to say that this was the limit of a normal human being, he had already reached the level of an Olympic champion.
If he were to play soccer, he would be able to crush the national football team single-handedly. The entire audience would cheer: "What the f*ck, refund!"
Chen Changan's physical fitness had improved tremendously, but Old Man Ji deliberately didn't investigate the reason. Just like how his family had never asked about The Flying Henan People's origins, it was clear that they had unified their opinions, and this made people feel very comfortable.
This must be the style of a tutor.
Chen Changan sighed.
Old Man Ji, on the other hand, was delighted to teach his knife skills.
One was willing to teach, while the other was willing to learn. In just three days, Chen Changan had learned most of the saber techniques.
Old Man Ji stroked his beard and praised, "Now that you've learned the basics of saber arts, I don't need to teach you anymore."
Chen Changan withdrew the Blade of Exorcism and placed it into his palm. He then said respectfully, "Thank you, Master."
Old Man Ji waved his hand and blew his beard. "I'm just returning your favor. I'm only keeping you here for a few more days because I'm greedy for a few little red flowers for my daughter-in-law's health. Since you're in a hurry to leave, I can't stop you."
Zhang Li and Ji Shaoping were both surprised. "Doctor Chen, are you leaving?"
