Chapter 826: 261.Extre·Fancy Moves_3
“Oh~ success~”
Noland Lee laughed heartily in his mind, waving his fist with excitent.
The system ssages in his mind were not over yet.
[This practice of the Deep Sea Scales ditation now requires four tis the normal consumption.]
[It is estimated that every 5 minutes, your Soul Strength will be reduced by 20 points, Energy Points by 200, and “Tenacity” attribute temporarily by 4 points.]
[Please note, once “Tenacity” falls to zero, you will die instantly.]
Noland Lee’s “Tenacity” was at 100 points.
Therefore, under quadruple cultivation intensity, he could continuously cultivate for 124 minutes, which was his limit.
The behavior of using water pressure to increase the degree of deconstruction while “Tenacity” was slowly dropping was fraught with danger.
One lapse of concentration and Noland Lee could allow his gradually weakening body to be crushed by the imnse water pressure.
It was precisely because he anticipated this dangerous factor that he had brought his companion witches along, just in case.
Noland Lee took a deep breath in the water, with his head down and feet up, his arms stirring in front of him as he swam toward a deeper, darker place.
The water pressure gradually increased, and the light dimd further.
Noland Lee felt as if he was wearing a tight suit.
The “tight suit” kept shrinking, tighter and tighter, as if it wanted to burrow into his skin.
The smooth breathing afforded by the Deep Sea Gills was starting to leave him.
He had to use more strength, forcefully expanding his chest to maintain breathing.
His heart rate suddenly picked up, blood flowing turbulently.
In addition to the swirling sound of sea water, a persistent, sharp ringing in his ears appeared.
“Huff… hiss… huff… hiss…”
Noland Lee breathed with difficulty.
[System ssage:]
[You are suffering from the “water pressure” assault of the four-piece sea area.]
“Ah, not bad, as expected. It seems I’ve controlled my body well and not missed any sea area,” he thought.
Noland Lee slowly waved his arms and kicked his legs, keeping himself at the current depth.
He looked down at the pitch-black sea water, eyes sweeping over the white coordinate axis stretching straight downward.
With “Tracking Mark,” “Mind View,” and “Perception Enhancent” in place, he did not worry about encountering any terrible deep sea demons.
He had ample ti to react before any monsters could launch an attack on him.
Quietly waiting for 10 minutes, Noland Lee’s body sounded with a series of crisp crackles as the first damage resolution arrived.
[You have received minor damage from the four-piece sea area.]
[Activate Passive Deconstruction!]
[Your degree of deconstruction of “Starfall Sea No. 13,” “No. 14,” “No. 15,” and “No. 16” subareas has increased by 0.1%.]
“Haha~ As expected! Now I’m going to make a killing! Deconstructing four subareas at once! Earning four tis the Energy Value Rewards!”
Noland Lee smiled underwater, bubbles escaping from him.
He was thrilled and proud in his heart but did not let his guard down, nor did he beco complacent.
His choice of the four sea subareas for the experint was not arbitrary.
Considering the diminishing returns of Energy Value Rewards, Noland Lee determined:
Only by simultaneously deconstructing subareas No.13 to No.16, the four vast expanses of the Starfall Sea Subarea, could he earn the most Energy Value Rewards in a short ti.
Noland Lee steadied his mind, monitoring the data on the panel while closely feeling the pain of the sea water crushing his bones.
From his experience of underwater cultivation, the impact of water pressure on the body would suddenly increase when the “Tenacity” value was cut by half.
The sharp pain that went deep into the marrow and soul was hard to withstand.
The murky seawater around him and the pitch-black Abyss beneath exerted limited physical damage on his body, but the pressure they ford on the ntal level could not be ignored.
As a prudent man, Noland Lee naturally would not push himself to the brink.
After about 60 minutes, just as “Tenacity” was about to halve, Noland Lee swam toward the sunlight-dappled sea surface above.
Returning to the pressure cabin, he took a brief rest and brought up the system ssages to check.
[Deep Sea Scales ditation experience 488 points]
[You have reached a degree of deconstruction of 1% for all four subsea regions.]
“Oh? It’s gone up to 1% instead of 0.7%. It seems that the degree of deconstruction gained from practicing the ditation thod is also subject to the tripled increase in cultivation intensity.”
Noland Lee nodded slowly, not dwelling on the nural issue.
He just needed to know that his slick operation was viable, and that’s okay.
After reaching a degree of deconstruction of 1%, the system unlocked a small portion of the panel information.
Noland had previously gained panel information for one subsea region while leveling the “Deep Sea Scales” ditation to level 20.
Such panels usually record data about the size of the subsea region, the volu of the water, types of fish, shellfish, and the corrosion effect of the seawater.
The four pieces of panel information he received now, each with a degree of completion of only 1%, should be far less detailed than the previous panel.
After opening the panel information for Subsea No.13 on impulse, Noland discovered so unusual content.
…
[Na] Starfall Sea No. 13 Subarea
[Description]
The maximum width of this sea area is 57 kiloters, with a poor underwater ecological environnt, and there may exist undiscovered caves, mineral veins, and deep-sea demons.
It seems that this sea area will one day welco treasures from the Spinning Continent.
(The degree of deconstruction is insufficient; hence, panel information is missing severely and may contain serious deviations.)
…
“What does it an ‘it seems it will one day welco treasures’?”
Noland frowned at this sentence on the panel information and fell into deep contemplation.
Is the system predicting the future?
But how could the Deconstruction Core System have the function of predicting the future…
That’s strange.
Noland opened the panel information for all four sea regions one by one.
In all four panels with only 1% completion, the sa phrase appeared.
Noland scratched his head.
It felt like the system was predicting the future.
But on further thought, it seed to him the system was rely spouting nonsense…
How did the term ‘Starfall Sea’ co about?
Isn’t it because the Spinning Continent occasionally flings treasures this way…
So, that sentence from the system, which seems to predict the future, is probably just stating the obvious…
After figuring this out, Noland rely shrugged his shoulders and didn’t take it to heart.
He used “Soul Perception” to summon Denise Green to give him a massage, um, no, that is, to treat the injuries inside his body.
Staying in a high-pressure environnt for too long caused two negative effects to appear on the status bar:
“Minor Bone Damage” and “Minor Internal Organ Damage.”
After Denise reached the level of a Four-ring Witch, the healing effect of her resurrection spells increased significantly.
She rely touched Noland’s painful spots with her soft, gentle hands, easily healing his external and internal injuries.
Not only that, her healing spells granted Noland a new positive effect called “Continuous Regeneration.”
This positive effect could last up to 1 hour.
During this hour, should Noland sustain moderate damage or acquire a negative effect, that damage and negative effect would be nullified by the “Continuous Regeneration” positive effect.
“Continuous Regeneration” could be layered.
Each layer could nullify one instance of moderate damage or one negative effect.
Denise could stack the layers of “Continuous Regeneration” by repeatedly casting “Reverse Death Barrier” on Noland, with a single casting consuming 4 points of Rebirth Mana.
Currently, Denise could stack up to four layers of such effect on Noland, corresponding to her Wizard Ring Level.
After letting Denise stack four layers of “Continuous Regeneration” on him, Noland left the magic yacht.
This ti, he planned to handle water pressure and practice the ditation thod while also adding the absorption of deep-sea magic power and swallowing seawater to the mix.
Operating on four fronts simultaneously would surely maximize the efficiency of deconstruction.
“Ah~ I’m truly a master of ti managent~~~”
