69: Chapter 68 (Major Revision) [Tianhe Navy]! ! Transformation! !

Li Tiance couldn't help but be startled. As one of the Five Surnames and Seven Clans,

his Li family must be among the most in-depth in the entire country regarding card research,

and even the initial definitions of rare cards, normal cards, and so on were the result of discussions between the Five Surnames and Seven Clans and the authorities.

Most civilian Card Makers only knew how to judge the strength of a card by its quality, but knowledgeable Card Makers knew that

potential and characteristics were the true keys determining a card's upper limit.

Why were cards like [deity card], [desolate beast card], [anomaly card], and [true name card] so rare?

It was simply because they had the opportunity to master higher power tiers.

For example, the official purple-quality [deity card] — [Celestial Soldier] might initially only know some superficial martial arts or a few minor spells,

but after growing to a certain extent, the [Celestial Soldier] could possess divine power,

and could use divine power to release powerful skills such as divine abilities and Daoist techniques,

and even learn one or two Daoist techniques suited for the card itself.

But ordinary [Wrongfully Deceased Scholar] cards, even if upgraded to orange quality, could not master advanced powers like divine power.

For another example, the disaster Qi absorbed by [Changyou] and the [Double-Pupil Might] possessed by the [Double-Pupil Warrior],

these were all highly representative advanced powers.

Yet there were only a few sequences of [deity card], and his Li family did not possess the kind of divine ability just witnessed.

That could only mean it was Sun Po, but Sun Po's [Changyou] was a [desolate beast card] specializing in [Water Control] and manipulating disaster Qi, so how could it possibly know any divine abilities?

Furthermore, many orange-quality [deity card]s hadn't comprehended divine abilities, so where would a mere [desolate beast card] get one?

Li Tiance was utterly baffled, but unfortunately, he couldn't temporarily attach the power of destiny to his arrows to peek at the truth.

...

Inside the [Duel Secret Realm],

Sun Po stood on the bank, watching [Changyou] summon wind and rain in the sky.

The wind grew stronger, and the rain heavier.

[Changyou] even utilized its [Disaster Beast Bloodline] to further elevate the effect of the entire [Divine Ability: Summon Wind and Rain].

The wind had blown into a heaven-reaching tornado, whipping up the rain and the [Wu River] water,

and directly transforming into a water tornado filled with water blades, turning the [Wu River] into a large-scale meat grinder.

All monsters were unable to cross this river of death, leaving the [Yin Soldiers] somewhat with nothing to do for the moment.

Seeing the mountains of monster corpses piled up along the riverbank, Sun Po knew that this battle was a windfall for his [Tianhe Budu].

The reason lay in the [Water Ghoul River] skill of [Tianhe Budu]:

For every unit that died within the field card, a [Water Ghost] would be spawned in the river.

The effect was very simple, yet it was the bane of such monster-swarm tactics.

Sun Po could already faintly see that the color of the river water seemed deeper, dense with swimming black shadows.

Coupled with another key skill of [Tianhe Budu], the [Water Ghoul Boat]:

[Water Ghost]s could go ashore to fight via the [Water Ghoul Boat], transforming into [Yin Soldiers] without being affected by land debuffs.

[Yin Soldiers] could enter the water to fight via the [Water Ghoul Boat], transforming into [Water Ghost]s without being affected by underwater debuffs.

All troops here were amphibious and could transform into each other,

so the combat adaptability of the troops in [Tianhe Budu] would increase drastically.

But Sun Po had no intention of letting these [Water Ghost]s go ashore.

Sun Po always remembered what the core of [Tianhe Budu] was.

That's right, it was disaster Qi.

The foundation of everything in [Tianhe Budu] was disaster Qi, including [Changyou], which also needed to consume disaster Qi.

However, the accumulation rate of disaster Qi from the [Disaster Birth] trait of [Tianhe Budu] was far from ideal,

and it was basically all consumed just to supply [Changyou] to soak in the archives every day.

Sun Po had also tried adding mods to [Tianhe Budu], which similarly required disaster Qi.

Including training [Tianhe Naval Forces] in the [Tianhe Water Mansion Training Ground] and transforming into the [Water Lord of the Heavenly River] to unleash heavenly floods,

all of these required disaster Qi.

And at this moment, the disaster Qi was unprecedentedly abundant!!

[Tianhe Budu] with almost infinite mana?

Sun Po didn't even dare to imagine how filthy rich this wave would make him!

At this moment, the most important thing was to enhance immediate combat power, and the first choice was the [Tianhe Water Mansion Training Ground]:

Mountain spirits, wild specters, Water Ghosts, and yin soldiers could all be transformed into [Tianhe Naval Forces], which required consuming disaster Qi.

[Tianhe Naval Forces]!!

If not now, when?!

These [Tianhe Naval Forces] were what Sun Po had placed the highest hopes on when he first created [Tianhe Budu], but the continuous lack of disaster Qi had left Sun Po with no opportunity to try.

Now, with [Changyou] summoning wind and rain above the clouds and slaughtering all directions without needing these Yin soldiers at all, it was the perfect opportunity for Sun Po to experiment.

Immediately, with a thought in Sun Po's mind, he arrived at the [Tianhe Water Mansion Training Ground], which he had never visited before.

This place looked like a training ground, complete with weapon racks, archery targets, and so on.

It just looked a bit dilapidated, but it basically didn't affect its use.

The most special part of the entire training ground was the huge pool in the center of the venue,

at this time filled to the brim with dark-hued pool water, exuding an ominous aura that made one's heart uneasy.

In front of the pool stood a stone tablet with three large characters written on it: [Transformation Deity Pool], and the style of the characters looked rather ancient.

The stone tablet also had a few columns of text written on it: [To enter the Tianhe Water Mansion, first enter the Transformation Deity Pool].

Sun Po understood.

Not bad, concise and efficient, thumbs up.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Po still casually dragged a [Yin Soldier] down from the [Wu River] on the bank.

Being in this [Tianhe Budu] was like being inside his own mind; whatever he thought in his heart, he could do.

It was also like a home editor where his thoughts acted as the mouse.

At this moment, [Changyou]'s voice sounded in Sun Po's mind:

"Master, when you are transforming the [Tianhe Naval Forces], make sure not to transform those [Water Soldier]s summoned by my [Water Element Summoning Technique]. After the big battle, I still need them for experiments."

Sun Po's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly agreed. Was his little dear going to do scientific research again?

Indeed, every time [Changyou] did research, it could bring back novel gadgets that ordinary people couldn't think of, and Sun Po was also looking forward to it.

But right now, he should first test the waters with this ordinary [Yin Soldier].

Under Sun Po's command, that somewhat sluggish-looking [Yin Soldier] slowly walked toward the pool.

"Splash!"

The dark pool instantly began to boil. At first, the [Yin Soldier] was fine, but gradually things started to go wrong.

Not long after the [Yin Soldier], which didn't experience much fluctuation even when hacked by swords and chopped by axes, entered, it was seen struggling violently.

It seemed to be experiencing extreme pain, its hollow skull mouth constantly opening and closing with a clicking sound.

Yet the two soul flames in its eyes burned brighter and brighter,

until finally, the pale blue soul fire climbed all over its entire skeleton, completely burning it into a pile of fine powder.

This dark Transformation Deity Pool also completely quieted down.

Sun Po thought to himself in regret:

"It seems to have failed. Exactly where did the problem lie?"

Just as Sun Po was recalling carefully, suddenly,

the dark pool water boiled once more, and a figure clad in silver armor and holding a silver spear slowly walked out from the center of the pool.
