Chapter 76: Tidal Lord Inheritance
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Within the dazzling light, a gentle yet powerful energy flowed into him.
...It felt like a foot massage, a mix of pain and pleasure.
Words couldn’t adequately describe it.
But soon, only pain remained.
The energy filled every corner of his body, like an overinflated balloon on the verge of bursting.
“Damn, that’s enough… Too much… Can’t hold it… Going to explode.”
Jichen endured the pain.
Though the energy was gentle, it continued to pour into him unwaveringly.
He even had the illusion of being inflated like a big-bellied person.
Time passed as if it were an eternity.
Once the incoming energy reached a critical point, the overly abundant energy began to transform his body inch by inch.
Starting from each individual molecule.
In a trance, he seemed to have X-ray vision into his own body, witnessing every cell being remodeled, becoming stronger and more vibrant.
He rejoiced, he exulted.
His heart thumped incessantly, louder and more powerful than a drum, as if shaking the earth and air.
“Damn, is this the Emperor’s Engine?”
Before he could even start to complain, a slightly damp sensation followed.
That was… the scent of the sea?
It was then that he remembered he was accepting the inheritance of the Tidal Lord.
The sensation of bodily expansion gradually faded, replaced by a feeling of being drawn into a vortex.
A cool touch, fading vision, as if sinking into the depths of a pitch-black sea.
But what surprised him was that there was no trace of panic in his heart. Instead, he felt a comforting sense of being back home.
It was incredibly strange.
After an unknown period of time, he heard a voice in his ears.
“Ding ~ You have successfully changed your class to Tidal Lord and have mastered many class skills.”
“Ding ~ Your Lord’s Talent has evolved. Sea’s Blessing I has been upgraded to Sea’s Blessing II, and more effects have been unlocked.”
After some time, Ji Chen slowly opened his eyes.
With his feet firmly planted on the ground, the square and the crystal tower were still in front of him, but he was no longer the same person.
Clenching his fists and feeling the power contained in his body, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
So, the inheritance of a special class was so powerful?
He sensed that his strength had increased more than tenfold.
His entire body was filled with endless strength.
Now, he felt that he could easily kill a Tidal Beast with a single punch.
However, the Tidal Lord was not a physical damage class…
It was unclear whether the advancement in class also triggered the evolution of the Lord’s talent, but he had successfully upgraded his talent from I to 11. Presumably, there would be additional bonuses and effects.
However, before he could open his personal interface to confirm, the deep voice spoke again, with a hint of surprise.
“You have successfully changed your class as Tidal Lord. This class is not as simple as ordinary people think. It has great potential.”
“Moreover, your body seems to…”
It was as if he had gotten to the point where he was afraid of something. Tidal Lord’s mind did not continue on this topic.
“Other than that, since you’ve already obtained the inheritance, you’ll be considered to have passed the test. You’ll receive a core of the Tidal Sea Spirit’s military recruitment camp.”
As he spoke, a crystal clear core flew out from somewhere in the Tidal Palace and floated in front of him.
Ji Chen didn’t hesitate. He nodded and put it into his backpack.
If there was an advantage to be gained, he would seize it without hesitation.
Seeing that he had accepted the core as if he had completed the important task of 10,000 years, the Tidal Master’s mind heaved a heavy sigh of relief.
“Since you have completed the inheritance, you can leave now. Next, I will clean up the mess here.”
“Let me out! You damn Tidal Lord!”
“You’re already dead and you still want to drag me down? What a despicable person you are!”
In reality, the black mist continued to hurl insults incessantly, but both Jichen and the consciousness left by the Tidal Lord ignored it.
Before Ji Chen could say anything else, his vision blurred.
In the next moment, he and all the troops appeared on the brick road outside the Tidal Palace.
The palace doors were tightly shut.
After taking one last deep look, he was stunned.
He led the army toward the New Moon.
On the shore, Sparrow was slightly anxious.
When he saw Ji Chen emerge from the mist, his face lit up with joy and he quickly walked up to him.
“My lord, you’re back!”
Ji Chen nodded in a good mood.” Okay, let’s get on the boat. We’ll leave this place.”
“Yes, sir!”
The sails fell and pushed the ship forward.
The New Moon gradually left.
Ji Chen suddenly felt something.
He took out the magic map from his backpack.
As soon as the map appeared in his hand, it scattered into dust and disappeared into the air.
“The outline of the Tidal Palace gradually disappeared into the fog,” he thought to himself.” This place will probably disappear forever.”
As the ship left the sea, the fog gradually dissipated.
The sky brightened once again, and the bright sunlight shone down. The surrounding sea area opened up again.
The relaxing sea view was revealed again.
However, Ji Chen was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. He hurried back to his room in the cabin.
He opened his personal interface and checked his current attributes.

[Level: 10 (25%/100%)]
[Identity: Ocean Lord]
[Main Class: Tidal Lord (Current Class Tier: Red Legacy Tier)

[Territory Name: Crown of the Ocean]
[Territory Level: Level 2 Village]
[Military recruitment camp]: Odd
[Item: Odd]
The main class of the red legacy tier!
There were also three red skills and two purple skills!
Jichen was instantly shocked.
This surpassed Anina by a great margin.
There was an additional enhancement to the Lord’s Talent.
In essence, it meant the ability to move effortlessly in the sea without any hindrance.
From a certain perspective, this enhancement held immense significance.
The limitation of human exploration in the ocean was primarily due to surface-level and shallow-water factors.
Apart from sea monsters, the limited oxygen supply and water pressure prevented deep dives.
However, with his current Lord’s Talent, the need for oxygen was greatly reduced, and he possessed formidable resistance to water pressure.
He could swim freely in the water, just like a fish.
This meant he could venture into the ocean at will, searching for sunken ships brimming with treasures and exploring lost underwater ruins.
What a remarkable update this was!
With a contented smile, Jichen closed the panel, suddenly recalling the bonus troop recruitment core he had obtained earlier.
What was its name? Tidal Sea Spirit…
Could it be those extremely ugly Tide Beasts?
