66: Chapter 66 The Ability to Fly, the Twelve Divine Symbols

The next morning.

The first ray of sunlight streamed through the porthole, illuminating the warm cabin.

The third-rank duozi duofu hao continued to break through the ice in the Extreme Cold Sea Region, like a tireless steel behemoth.

Li Taiping opened his eyes, feeling refreshed.

He checked his system panel.

Twelve Divine Talismans (good grade)

good (growable)

Description: A mysterious power originating from ancient the East, containing the authority of the twelve zodiac animals. Each time you unlock an animal talisman, you will gain a corresponding low-tier ability.

Currently unlocked ability 1: Chicken Talisman - Flight. Your body will break free from the shackles of gravity, gaining the ability to fly freely.

Currently unlocked ability 2: Horse Talisman - Healing. Your body will gain extremely strong self-healing effects (currently only applies to yourself).

Evaluation: Congratulations, you are now Superman, albeit a low-tier version.

"Flight?!"

Seeing the introduction of the first ability, Li Taiping's eyes instantly widened, and he became excited.

The ability to fly!

This is too awesome!

Although he had experienced the feeling of flying while riding a mecha before, that was ultimately with the help of external forces. How could it compare to the freedom and exhilaration of flying with his own body?

He suppressed the urge to immediately fly out for a spin and carefully studied this new Talent.

Twelve Divine Talismans, twelve abilities.

Only two have been unlocked so far: the Chicken's Flight and the Horse's Healing.

What other ten could there be?

Dragon's Explosion? Ox's Strength? Monkey's Transformation? Or Dog's Immortality?

Moreover, as the Talent level increases, their abilities will eventually reach a concept-level complete state of "I lack nothing!"

Li Taiping's heart burned with excitement just thinking about it.

The potential of this Talent is immeasurable!

Yu Tong, this girl, really gave him a huge surprise!

"I have to try it quickly!"

Li Taiping could no longer hold back. He tiptoed out of the room and came to the empty deck.

The cold wind of the morning blew against his face, instantly sobering him up quite a bit.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the new, unique power within him.

With a thought.

[Chicken Talisman - Flight] activated!

The next second, a strange sensation spread throughout his body.

He felt his body lighten all of a sudden, and the gravity that had kept him firmly attached to the ground seemed to disappear at this moment.

He tentatively pushed off with his feet.

Whoosh—!

His body actually flew straight up just like that!

"Heiyo! It really flew!"

Li Taiping let out an excited shout in his heart.

He was like a child with a new toy, controlling his body to fly crookedly back and forth above the deck.

At first, he was still clumsy, flying high and low, almost hitting the ship's side several times.

But soon, he mastered the trick.

The feeling of flying was like swimming in water, completely controlling direction and height with his own will.

Forward, backward, left turn, right turn, 360-degree Thomas flair...

Li Taiping played happily in the air, letting out bursts of hearty laughter.

This feeling of breaking free from the shackles of the earth and soaring freely between heaven and earth was simply too wonderful!

He then painstakingly made a cut on his arm.

[Horse Talisman - Healing] activated!

A warm current surged from his heart, quickly flowing to the wound, bringing with it a tingling itch.

He stared at his arm with wide eyes.

Visibly, the opened flesh began to squirm and heal.

In just three to five seconds, only a faint red mark remained, and two more seconds later, even the red mark disappeared. His skin was smooth as new, without even a scar!

"Holy crap! This recovery power... it's incredible!"

Li Taiping looked at his perfectly intact arm, feeling as if the door to a new world had opened.

Just as he was immersed in the joy of gaining new abilities.

"Ugh..."

Behind him, a pained groan sounded.

Li Taiping turned around and saw Yu Tong leaning against the doorframe, her face pale.

Only then did he remember that he had been playing too wildly, making too much noise, and had woken her up.

"You're awake?" Li Taiping quickly walked over and supported her swaying body. "Why didn't you sleep longer? Did I wake you up?"

"No... no." Yu Tong shook her head, her small face flushed, not daring to look at him. "I... I just... feel a little uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, Li Taiping's old face flushed, and he understood what was happening in his heart.

After all, it was her first time, and with his enhanced body, the young girl was certainly a bit overwhelmed.

"My fault, my fault." He quickly picked up Yu Tong, carried her back to the room, and laid her on the bed.

"You rest well, I'll go get you something to eat."

"Mmm..." Yu Tong nodded obediently, her eyes filled with curiosity and adoration as she looked at Li Taiping. "Captain, were you... flying just now?"

"Yes." Li Taiping smiled proudly. "Amazing, right? This is an ability you brought me."

"Me?" Yu Tong was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, your Talent, the Twelve Divine Talismans, I can use it now too." Li Taiping briefly explained.

After listening, Yu Tong's large eyes instantly sparkled with brilliance.

She hadn't expected to awaken such a powerful Talent.

Even more, she hadn't expected this Talent could also make the Captain stronger.

An indescribable sense of pride and satisfaction surged in her heart.

She felt that there seemed to be another inseparable connection between her and the man before her.

"Your Talent is excellent, I like it very much."

Li Taiping looked at her cute, beaming expression, smiled, and pinched her cheek.

"I'm very much looking forward to the other abilities it will unlock later."

With that, he turned and left the room, preparing to make a loving breakfast for this "heroine."

Meanwhile, Yu Tong, lying on the bed, covered her flushed cheeks, her heart as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
