"Squad leader, sothing doesn’t seem quite right," Cang Xu finally spoke after a long silence.
"I’ve never heard of anyone being bestowed with Divine Grace like this."
"And to receive so much Divine Grace at that!"
"Normally, a Believer must make a significant contribution to the sect and to the deities to be granted such copious Divine Grace."
"But your prayers, they hardly counted as any contribution at all."
Since the Fishman youth desecrated the ritual, Cang Xu had been earnestly trying to analyze the situation. But i Lan bestowing Divine Grace on his own squad leader was sothing he simply couldn’t analyze any further.
"In fact, during the second prayer, the content of the Divine Blessing was also a bit strange."
"At that ti, you weren’t in the form that combines Bloodlines and lacked the ability to cast Undead Magic. Yet, the Divine Blessing included that particular set of Preaching Divine Skills."
"If we attribute all this to the Divine Bloodline, aren’t we just deceiving ourselves?"
The Fishman youth remained pensive and silent.
Cang Xu looked at him, his tone deep: "Everything granted by fate secretly carries a price."
The Fishman youth nodded slightly, also showing a hint of doubt.
The Fishman youth pondered, "What you’re saying is exactly what I’m worried about."
"I was there throughout your desecration ritual. So I know what a normal situation should look like."
"Ordinary prayers are unable to obtain Divine Blessings."
"But here, because Zhou Zhang and others preside over the Blood Sacrifice, and with the Ocean Nest’s arrangent, prayers can gain Divine Blessings."
"Divine Blessings mainly consider three aspects."
"One is the aptitude; essentially, the deity sees the future value of a Believer and makes an early investnt."
"The second is the degree of Faith. In organizational strength, it’s a matter of assessing mber loyalty."
"The third aspect is Divine Grace. It’s known that consuming Divine Grace can within certain limits, ensure the content and quality of the Divine Blessing. In reality, it’s evaluating the Believer’s past contributions and rits."
The Fishman youth spoke about his own situation: "I’ve prayed three tis in a row, and each ti the Divine Blessing received has been more substantial than the last, which is completely illogical."
"The standards and quality of the Divine Blessings are far beyond normal circumstances."
"According to the intelligence you’ve gathered, even those at the Golden Level like Zhang Yuwan and Jiu Hua Arm haven’t received as much as I have."
"If I try to explain these questions with the Divine Bloodline, I don’t have much confidence."
"Because right now, my Bolang Bloodline is only at 11%."
"There must be so secret information that we are unaware of."
"Or is there so other key factor we have not considered?"
The two of them fell into silence once again.
When it cos to Divine Arts and sects, Cang Xu couldn’t offer much help.
After thinking for a while, the Fishman youth still had no clue.
But his expression beca more determined: "Even if we can’t find the answers or the truth for now, even if i Lan has so sches, we still need to continue praying, right?"
"Only when our clerical position is elevated to a certain degree can we find a way. Perhaps, we could use the rmaid’s Fairy Tale to teleport out again."
Cang Xu stared at the Fishman youth, slowly shaking his head.
His expression serious: "Squad leader, don’t let the three-ti Divine Blessings sway your heart."
"If this is an enemy’s temptation, then have you been slightly ensnared?"
"Raising your clerical rank and teleporting out is indeed the best plan we conceived."
"But it’s not the only way out of our predicant."
"We could also destroy this Ocean Nest and use the Deep Sea Monster Fish, Deception and Disguise Skills, and so on, to leave this place."
"So far, our tests have shown that the Deception and Disguise Skill cannot fool i Lan, but it’s still effective against Zhou Zhang and the others."
The Fishman youth’s expression stiffened montarily.
Cang Xu’s words imdiately made him start scrutinizing himself.
"It’s undeniable, I am indeed tempted," he confessed.
"But my desire to continue the adventure isn’t impulsive. Don’t forget, I still have the Blood Core."
With that, the Fishman youth activated his Blood Core, beginning the manifestation process.
Red light enveloped his entire body, then slowly receded.
The Fishman youth was gone, replaced by the Dragon-man youth.
"So-called Bloodlines are fundantally information of life. The soul is also a part of life."
"When I transform from Fishman Form into Dragon-man Form, my body and soul undergo drastic changes."
"Divine Power can transform Believers, making them more in tune with the Divine Power of their deities."
"But I just need to change my life form to greatly maintain my self, offsetting the long-term and gradual transformation of my mind and body by Divine Power."
Cang Xu was invigorated: "Squad leader, you’re absolutely right."
"I almost forgot that the Blood Core could be used like this!"
The Dragon-man youth felt his own state.
After transforming, he no longer had the Bolang Bloodline, and the efficiency of the Divine Powers transforming his body and soul was distinctly lower than that of the Fishman Form.
The youth used the Blood Core once again, returning to the Fishman Form.
The efficiency of the Divine Power nurturing his flesh and soul surged by more than a hundred tis instantly, the progress almost visible to the naked eye!
The Fishman youth’s expression showed unwavering determination: "i Lan has been in slumber for many years, we cannot miss this opportunity."
"We have stalled for long enough. For the redemption plan, we need greater strength to ensure our own safety and interests."
"I am the squad leader of the Dragon Lion rcenary Group; there is no reason for to back down."
"Having you spearhead the charge was only because I wasn’t a Mage, and you were."
"Now, I am better suited for this task!"
"In fact, I am also willing to take on such risks."
"Squad leader..." Cang Xu heaved a deep sigh as he gazed at the Fishman youth, feeling the latter’s sincere heart.
It was precisely this kind of leader, daring to take charge and devoted to contribution, whom Cang Xu was willing to follow and serve loyally.
"For the fourth prayer, I’m planning to directly ask what is the reason for such abundant Divine Blessing."
"Next, I’ll try using the Divine Grace to uplift my Life Level, even if it consus all the Divine Grace, I’ll spare no expense," the Fishman youth revealed his intentions.
Cang Xu nodded and began to draft the prayer for the Fishman youth.
At the sa ti, he also made a suggestion, "If the Life Level cannot be improved and the Divine Grace isn’t consud at all, perhaps you should pray to the gods to directly bestow upon you the bodies of certain Fishn."
"The gods are omnipotent. Since a common idol was previously transford into Silver Level, why can’t Fishman bodies be granted?"
What Cang Xu desired, of course, wasn’t the Fishman bodies themselves, but rather a higher concentration of the Bolang bloodline.
The Fishman youth quickly embraced this excellent suggestion, "Right, we can give it a try."
Ti was limited.
Outside, the Snow Pear Octopus of the Deep Sea Monster Fish had already inspected nearly half of the believers. A large number of i Lan believers had been devoured by it.
This ant that it was the Fishman youth’s last Desecration Priesthood.
Because Cang Xu was going to leave this place to return outside the nest.
Without Cang Xu present, the Fishman youth didn’t dare to conduct the desecrated prayers alone. This was a safety asure the two had designed early on, and it was their agreed-upon bottom line!
However, just as the Fishman youth was about to step into the cabin, his legs suddenly gave way, almost causing him to fall on the spot!
"Sir!" Cang Xu shouted.
Fortunately, the Fishman youth managed to steady himself on the wall in ti.
He turned to look at Cang Xu, with a very unpleasant expression on his face.
The next mont, unable to support himself on the wall any longer, he fell directly into a seated position.
Cang Xu turned pale with shock and hastily approached to check the Fishman youth’s physical condition.
"The body condition is excellent!" Da Dou couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Lying before him was the big guy.
He was snoring loudly, sleeping deeply.
Da Dou withdrew his Golden Fighting Spirit, and took a deep breath as he looked at the big guy sprawled on the ground, as though he were beholding a priceless treasure.
"Being able to eat the Yangzhou Fried Rice that I specially doctored, and then afterward, consu so much Extraordinary culinary cuisine from Ci Haishen..."
"Kid, your Bloodline Grade is extrely high, you could very likely beco Holy Domain Level!"
"Hehehe, there are many people on the dueling field, but who knows giants better than I do?"
"Most of them would simply think of you as having Gold Level potential; no one imagined that I’d abduct you."
Saying this, Da Dou laughed heartily in triumph.
Losing the Gold Level at-eye steak, no matter.
Not attending the National Ceremony ice sculpture, also, no matter!
This was a potential Holy Domain Level individual.
Bringing him back to the island, all the clan mbers would look up to Da Dou. Nobody would think Da Dou was wrong for doing this!
"In the future, once this kid reaches Holy Domain Level, I will be the greatest hero of the entire clan, ahahahaha."
Da Dou was laughing when the big guy slowly opened his eyes.
"You’re awake," Da Dou quickly approached the big guy, "See, what is this?"
He lifted a pot of Extraordinary Level Yangzhou Fried Rice.
The aroma was enticing, and the big guy, awoken by his hunger, naturally grabbed the Silver Level iron pot, then tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide, and poured the entire pot of fried rice into it.
The pot possessed spatial properties, and the amount of rice it could store far exceeded what the eye could see.
The big guy ate a third of it and wanted to continue eating, but Da Dou snatched the iron pot away.
The big guy glared at him.
Da Dou in turn tried to soothe him, "Stop eating, you ate too much during the eating competition. There’s a lot of energy accumulated and hidden that hasn’t been properly digested yet."
The big guy looked around and realized he was on a deserted island with no people around.
The island had no vegetation, and everywhere there were yellowish-brown soil and rocks.
The big guy stood up in shock. His view elevated, but he still could not see any familiar ships, people, or objects.
On the entire small island, other than him, there was only Da Dou in front of him.
"Ho, going ho."
"I want to go ho!" The big guy cried out.
"I will take you ho, to your real ho," Da Dou continued to soothe.
But the big guy suddenly glared back at him, "Bad person, you are a bad person!"
The big guy rembered that Da Dou had suddenly appeared, attacked the rcenaries, and knocked him unconscious.
Bang.
The big guy punched, striking Da Dou’s chest.
Da Dou laughed and stepped back without retaliating.
He intended to evaluate the big guy’s combat power.
The big guy attacked recklessly, many tis hitting Da Dou, who just laughed heartily, never intending to fight back.
After a short while, the once vigorous big guy suddenly felt his legs give way and he knelt to the ground.
His eyes were wide with anger, wanting to get up and continue fighting, but the next mont, his muscles spasd violently, his face hit the ground, and he collapsed completely.
Da Dou walked over to his side and looked down at him gently, "Your bloodline is too excellent, having eaten so much Extraordinary cuisine, your Fighting energy cultivation has surged a great deal. But your body still can’t adapt, after all, for Fighting energy to nurture the body, it requires a process."
The big guy made grunting noises.
His cheek muscles were trembling too, making the roaring sound strange.
Da Dou squatted down and patted the big guy’s broad and sturdy back, "So, you, kid, stop making trouble. In my hands, you won’t be able to go back. Co with obediently to Fire Island!"
