Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 694: 413. Harvest_2

He scorned practicing combat and scorned practicing force exertion.

Many Awakeners are like that; Liu Dezhu was no exception in his early days.

But Qing Chen was different, he was always training.

Thus, these people, in terms of combat talent, motor reflexes, combat experience, and control over fighting distance, were worlds apart from Qing Chen who had fought his way up from the bottom.

Still the same notion, Qing Chen had spent countless hours refining himself, and time would give him the answer.

“You, a Time Traveler holding a Taboo, it’s like a gold-rimmed chamber pot, what’s the use of it? Better give it to me,” Qing Chen removed the Tail ring from Capri’s pinky, curious why the other had never used it once?

Was he scared silly by it? That was a factor.

But Qing Chen felt, a bigger likelihood was that this Taboo might be functional and might not directly bring about a reversal of the situation.

He took out a Crab Catcher’s dagger and chopped down on it, and even the blade shattered, but the Tail ring was still intact.

Definitely a Taboo without a doubt.

Perhaps many hadn’t anticipated that Qing Chen’s method of identifying Taboos was so simple and crude…

Puppeteer and Da Fu had already experienced it long ago…

“It’s a pity, I still can’t discern the containment conditions of the Taboo, nor do I know its function. This thing is hard to figure out without long-term exploration,” Qing Chen muttered, “It seems I’ll have to still probe into Capri for a breakthrough.”

This trip to Europe, for Qing Chen, the gains were already more than ample.

He had been promoted to C-Class.

He had obtained the coordinates of a sunken ship’s treasure.

He had acquired a piece of Taboo.

Any of which was something ordinary people only dreamed of.

Wait—Qing Chen felt something was off just then, there was something he had overlooked… Knight Vital Energy.

Before taking on the life-or-death challenge, Qing Chen’s Knight Vital Energy, aided by the First Breathing Technique, had already permeated his entire skeleton.

But after completing the life-or-death challenge, the Knight Vital Energy would still increase.

So much so that now, the Knight Vital Energy in Qing Chen’s body far exceeded the amount he could bear, like a balloon stretched to its limits.

Wrong, Qing Chen realized—the Knight Vital Energy in his body was now being furiously condensed.

Until… the condensed energy dripped a drop of water into his arm bone, seeping into his marrow, then along with the hematopoietic function, flowed into his blood vessels.

The Knight Vital Energy was transforming in quality.

Qing Chen couldn’t feel anything yet, he merely guessed perhaps once all the Knight Vital Energy turned into liquid state, it might have some unexpected effects.

However, the growth of Knight Vital Energy would definitely make the Autumn Leaf Knife even sharper, and previously, when Qing Chen infused the Puppeteer, he could only transform over two meters of the puppet into blade.

Now, transforming an entire 50-meter-long branch into a blade seemed like no issue…

Qing Chen tied up Capri with ropes and walked towards the outside of the cabin.

Upon seeing him go up on the deck, Xiaoting smiled and asked, “How did it go, did you find anything?”

“Yes,” Qing Chen nodded.

Xiaoting then asked, “Can you handle him alone?”

“Yes,” Qing Chen nodded again.

The next second, Xiaoting closed her eyes and fainted, Qing Chen quickly caught her and carried her into the captain’s cabin.

Just now, Xiaoting’s God-like power at sea had drained much of her spiritual power.

Though she seemed unharmed, she was actually at her limit.

However, she didn’t faint immediately upon returning to the deck but forced herself to remain conscious, ensuring Qing Chen could handle the crisis alone before comfortably falling asleep.

Luckily, Xiaoting’s level of over-exertion was not severe and wouldn’t endanger her life or abilities.

Had he completed the life-or-death challenge even a moment later, she might well have been gone.

Qing Chen sighed, owing her quite a bit this trip.

Currently, the storm had calmed quite a bit, after he covered Xiaoting with a blanket, he urged Zhang Jian to quickly haul anchor and head back to Amsterdam Port first.

The Arctic was no longer viable; after all, every organization would follow this clue to find him, by then Zhang Jian and Old John would be unlucky, surely subjected to severe torture.

Qing Chen found Old John, Nedup, and Zhang Jian: “If the treasure from the sunken ship is found, I’ll give you wealth enough for the rest of your lives. Would you be willing to adapt new identities and live anonymously elsewhere?”

Old John and Nedup looked at each other and nodded eagerly: “Willing!”

Only Zhang Jian hesitated a bit: “The Arctic is no good then?”

Qing Chen nodded: “Right, you’ve seen what we’ve gone through. To find clues related to me, innocents will inevitably be implicated. If you fall into their hands, it might be worse than death.”

Zhang Jian then muttered, “Initially, I should have persuaded you to take the Alps and trouble Kreg instead…”

At that moment, Zhang Jian suddenly said to Qing Chen: “I’d like to try my luck in North America with a new identity.”

“Are you thinking of becoming a Time Traveler? But you are European,” Qing Chen said.

If Zhang Jian were a Time Traveler, he would have started repatriating people back to the Inner World already, but if not, no matter how hard Qing Chen tried, he couldn’t help him break the shackles of the Outer World.

He must go to the Inner World to “get gold-plated.”

…

…

The sea was calm.

The Bass Destroyer was the first to arrive in the Greenland waters.

Two white men and one black man stood on the deck, looking solemnly at the battered Radiant Trumpet.
