Night fell.
The clouds churned like thick ink.
In the starless, lightless night, the Golden Sword Orchid floated peacefully on the ocean's surface.
A hazy mist blurred the lines of its hull, making its golden corners appear all the more elegant and regal.
Inside the captain's cabin.
A bright whale-oil lamp gave off a gentle, faint fragrance.
Su Ye had taken off his shirt, revealing a chiseled, jade-like torso. He sat cross-legged.
With a thought, he summoned the virtual panel.
[Class: Tide Hunter Lv. 4 (2000/2000)+]
'No time to lose. I'll advance to Tide Hunter Lv. 5!'
Whether it was the pressure of the impending war with the Qi Family or the potential dangers from the strange occurrences in the sea...
...both weighed heavily on Su Ye's mind, filling him with unease.
Because of this, he was more eager than ever to increase his strength!
'Haaah... system, level me up!'
Taking a deep breath, Su Ye's consciousness reached out and tapped the '+' symbol.
BOOM!
