This Purification effect is really good!

Since this pearl can enhance the Purification effect, as long as I get another one, one in each hand, perform a move called Double Dragon Pearl, won't the effect be super satisfying?

Decided! Find another one. As long as it can completely resist the black oil attack, there's no need to use the ring's ray, just slowly wear it down with Physical Strength and the shell.

"Aileen, how many more rays can the ring shoot?"

Aileen sighed, "About once more!"

Chun also felt the pressure: "Then just once. As long as we create a crack in the shell so it can't close, that will do it."

If that doesn't work, should I let Siren come down? But won't that make her think I'm incompetent... She already had concerns about transporting the ore.

So Chun extended the Holy Artifact Rope and swam to another shell, using the old trick with a pickaxe first!

"Aileen, ready!"

"Ready!"

Another swing of the pickaxe:

——System prompt: Congratulations! You used the Sacred Artifact Pickaxe to dig up high-end Acid Stone Ore, and your Expert-level Mining Technique has been upgraded to Master level 1! Your muscle memory fully recalled the forgotten Master-level Mining Technique, and your Soul Link synchronized with the Clone Mining Technique!

——System prompt: You have shared your Clone Master Mining Technique level 4 through Soul Link! Advanced Dual-Wielding Pickaxes level 10, Advanced Mining Pickaxe Disarmament level 10.

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your Advanced Underwater Mining Technique has risen to level 2...

——System prompt: In the disease state, your Life Value and Physical Strength have increased significantly, and your Disease Resistance has further strengthened.

...

Holy shit, this time I triggered a slew of system prompts!

But there's no time to look, as the shell sprayed another wave of black oil, and the prepared Aileen shot out another ray!

Chun, holding the Treasure Pearl, unleashed another glowing Purification Technique — the oil wave trembled dramatically, but it didn't have the same dispersing effect as before!

What's happening?

Probably the oil from a living shell is stickier than from a dead one, so I'll just need to wear it down with Physical Strength!

Chun continuously used the Purification Technique, and little by little, the effect accumulated and gradually gained the upper hand, until another palm strike fully dispersed the black oil! And with this strike, the shell cover was pushed open!

——System prompt: You purified and killed the Divine Corpse Vine and discovered the Treasure, Sea Light Pearl! You and your pet gained a lot of combat experience, and your Divine Pet upgraded to level 3, raising its attributes.

Got another one!

Understood, this black oil might not be oil but a part of the shell's body; otherwise, it wouldn't have died from purification.

At this moment, the voice of the Old Turtle was clearly joyful: "Some of the strength has returned to my body! Warrior, you can dispose of the previous shell."

Then let's take care of it, no, transport the high-end materials!

Chun swam back to check, and it truly was a bit shocking — the previously fleshy shell had been sucked dry into jerky. After all, the Old Turtle is an Undead!

Chun pulled out the pickaxe, hammered the roots, and tugged, actually triggering a red light point — System prompt: Your Advanced Construction Technique detected a structural weakness.

Holy shit! So as long as it's building materials, the system considers this thing a construction, huh?

Chun swung the pickaxe at the red point!

With a clatter, the tire-sized shell was pulled off.

——System prompt: Congratulations! You obtained precious building materials, gaining demolition experience, and your Construction Technique advanced to level 2...

This is the first time practicing construction myself, very good, the sub-account will upgrade too, lightening the load for my daughter! Speaking of which, if I dismantle all these shells, an Expert level would be basic, right? Even aiming for Master isn't too much, right?

Chun, holding the shell, propelled himself to the sea surface: "Goddess, come pick up the goods!"

Siren really came at a call, soaring in: "Truly worthy of being rare materials!"

Chun was almost out of stamina, just right to go ashore for a rest and chat: "What's the use of buildings made from these materials?"

Siren chuckled: "See the curvature of this shell? As long as a lot of shells are pieced together in the shape of a flower, it will form an Echo Matrix, capable of receiving ocean sound waves from thousands, even tens of thousands of miles away, and likewise, I can send sounds through the matrix so distant Sea Race members can clearly hear my song! Imagine what it means for my song to transmit thousands of miles?"

A bit like the cosmic ray-receiving Eye of Heaven project?

Chun was really amazed: "Can it hypnotize people thousands of miles away?"

Siren yearned: "I'd like to try. Even if it can't hypnotize, at least it can facilitate communication, which is the foundation of the Sea Race King's rule over the Sea Race. In any case, many shells are still needed, keep at it."

After saying so, she flew back holding the shell to the cabin.

Chun is brimming with enthusiasm, hastily takes a sip of liquor to speed up Physical Strength recovery.

Once Physical Strength is fully recovered, dive back underwater.

The Old Turtle's voice rings again: "Warrior, you can dispose of the shell now!"

Alright! Level up Construction Technique alongside it.

Then watch construction proficiency soar, and Siren returns, taking away the big treasure with a smile.

Then continue diving to find the third shell, this time without ring rays, but with two pearls.

As the pickaxe startled the third shell, black oil came rushing in, and Chun unleashed the Double Dragon Pearl with both palms!

But it only repelled the black oil, far less effective than earlier without ring rays to injure the shell, showing the strong tenacity of the black oil.

But Chun had already prepared for a stamina-draining battle, continuously unleashing Double Dragon Pearl!

Until his Physical Strength was exhausted and the outcome was still undecided, he quickly returned to shore to rest and recover stamina, now it's all about stamina recovery speed against the shell!

Once Chun fully recovered again, he dived again. Chun firmly believed that such a large-scale oil membrane usage must be more draining for it. Moreover, having the "Physical Recovery" blessing of the Angel Divine Pet, his recovery speed definitely surpassed it.

Repeatedly up and down three times, the shell finally showed signs of fatigue!

Chun was excited, and continued!

On the fourth attempt, the shell's Physical Strength ran out rapidly, collapsing like a landslide, finally being pushed over by Chun!

The third pearl was obtained! But it took 40 minutes!

This speed obviously didn't satisfy Chun; let's see if carrying the third pearl made a difference.

After resting, Chun found the fourth shell.

As it sprayed black oil again, Chun unleashed the Double Dragon Pearl once more — in that instant, Chun felt surrounded by a vortex responding to the power of the Purification Technique!

Chun was overjoyed, indeed! Having it on the body truly has an effect!

So once the pearls accumulate more and more, carrying dozens on the body... what kind of amazing snowball effect would that be? There might be a maximum effect limit, but it'd definitely be awesome.

This time, after going up and down three times, the shell was defeated, saving 10 minutes compared to before!

With the shell being vanquished again, the system prompt changed!

——System prompt: Congratulations! You've mastered the essence of the Purification Technique, your Cleaner Fish profession has been upgraded and strengthened, and Purification Technique has advanced to Basic Purification Technique level 1! Achievement reward gained: Physical Strength +1, Life Value +1, Load +1, Mana +1.

Holy shit!

Chun was ecstatic beyond words, truly inspired by the Explorer's Basic Invisibility Technique. As long as you grind the Basic Skills hard, they'll upgrade to a skill tree!

Now with the fourth pearl in hand, along with Purification Technique upgrading, the snowball is rolling steadily! So, these pearls seem like they were tailor-made for my Cleaner Fish exploits!
