Chapter 146: Consecutive Limit Breaks and Unique Traits

Deep within an underwater cave.

Skill: Water Proficiency (First Limit Break 1855/2000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing)



"Within a few dozen breaths, I gained over a hundred experience points!"

"It's indeed a great find!"

Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.

The mere droplet of water, no bigger than a grain of rice, had already demonstrated its value.

Moreover, besides increasing his Water Proficiency experience, he also felt that his body was undergoing some changes.

However, the changes were too subtle for him to pinpoint their exact nature.

A moment later.

After confirming that his body showed no adverse reactions, Jiang Ning finally relaxed.

It's beneficial without any harm, so it's truly a treasure.

With his mind at ease, Jiang Ning placed his palm into the water pit.

As his hand entered the pit, glowing with a silvery-white light, he felt an even stronger chill than when he had dipped it into the ice-water mixture, a few degrees colder.

But this coldness was nothing to him now.

The next moment.

He retrieved a small amount of bone-chilling water from the pit.

This special water was clearly different from ordinary lake water, and it felt heavier.

Instantly.

He brought it to his mouth and drank it.

Glug—

As the unique water entered his stomach, he felt a chill erupt within his body.

His body seemed to be in an ice cellar, and his temperature dropped rapidly.

At the same time, prompts appeared before his eyes.

Water Proficiency Experience +1

Water Proficiency Experience +1

Water Proficiency Experience +1

The frequency of these prompts was even faster than before.

A moment later.

Skill: Water Proficiency (First Limit Break 2000/2000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing)



The experience for this skill was now full, but the prompts didn't stop.

Water Proficiency Experience +1

Jiang Ning remained calm.

Although the experience was maxed out, the excess experience wouldn't be wasted.

With his body filled with coldness, he needed to circulate his Qi and blood to warm himself up.

In the blink of an eye.

The coldness within him gradually dissipated, indicating that his body had fully absorbed this unique heavenly treasure.

"Phew—"

Jiang Ning finally exhaled in relief, slowly exhaling a breath with a hint of coldness.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle—

A string of bubbles emerged from his mouth and rose quickly towards the sky above.

"Thankfully, I didn't rush and limited my intake. Otherwise, this coldness would have been harder to digest!" he thought to himself.

He continued to circulate his Qi and blood, warming his limbs and dispelling the remaining coldness from his body, thoroughly warming himself up.

Only then did Jiang Ning slowly close his eyes.

His mind sank into his body, quietly sensing the changes.

A moment later.

He opened his eyes, instantly understanding the effects of this unique water.

After being absorbed by his body, this water not only increased his affinity with water but also improved his constitution, fundamentally enhancing his natural talent.

"This must be the source of the White Dragon Fish's transformation," Jiang Ning thought.

The effect it had on him would cause a spirit fish like the White Dragon Fish to undergo an evolutionary change.

The next moment.

His gaze shifted back to his status panel.

Skill: Water Proficiency (First Limit Break 2000/2000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing)



A plus sign appeared next to the Water Proficiency skill, indicating that it had met the requirements for a limit break.

Primordial Energy: 96.7

He glanced at his Primordial Energy points and moved his mind to the plus sign next to the Water Proficiency skill.

Instantly.

His Primordial Energy points rapidly decreased, dropping by 20 points.

Primordial Energy: 76.7

The Water Proficiency section underwent an instant transformation.

Skill: Water Proficiency (Second Limit Break 899/3000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing, Water Manipulation)



Water Manipulation: A divine ability, allowing one to weakly control water sources.

"Divine ability?"

"The ability to control water sources?"

Jiang Ning's eyes widened in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment.

This trait's appearance completely exceeded his expectations.

At that moment.

He instantly felt a profound difference.

He could sense that the surrounding water currents were under his control.

The next moment.

His mind moved.

The originally calm and ripple-free water currents suddenly formed a vortex on the spot.

As the vortex formed, the sand and stones on the underwater cave floor were instantly swept up by the currents.

Following his thoughts, the underwater vortex swayed left and right, responding to his mental commands.

"As I thought, I can now control water currents with ease!"

"And the effect is quite impressive!"

Jiang Ning observed as a giant rock, several dozen times his size, was lifted by the currents, and he roughly understood the power of this trait.

Although it is described as a weak manipulation, this weakness is not measured by his current strength.

Instead, it is gauged by the power of his abilities.

According to the myths of his past life, every ability holds immense power.

Some abilities even possess earth-shattering might, capable of moving mountains and changing the very face of the earth.

Thus, this ability to manipulate water flow is indeed considered a weak manipulation compared to those other abilities.

However, in Jiang Ning's eyes, it is already a powerful ability for him at this moment.

Being able to manipulate objects weighing dozens of jin, if he were to direct the water flow into a person's ears and nose, what kind of effect would it bring? Just thinking about this method of manipulation, Jiang Ning felt this ability was extremely useful.

Especially underwater, it would be even more valuable.

Being able to manipulate water flow means he can control the water.

In this situation, his speed underwater would undoubtedly surge.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning was filled with anticipation.

Just now, he had only absorbed a portion of this unknown heavenly treasure, and it had already granted him so many Water Nature Experience Points.

There was still much left.

After absorbing the rest of this unknown heavenly treasure, his Water Nature Experience Points would surely increase by several thousand more.

"Perhaps I can even achieve one or two Limit Breaks for Water Nature today!"

Jiang Ning's heart raced.

The second Limit Break for Water Nature had already brought him an unexpected surprise.

This made him even more eager for the subsequent Limit Breaks for Water Nature.

Subsequently, he released his control over the surrounding water flow.

The vortex he had formed through his manipulation quickly dissipated.

The several dozen jin stone that had been lifted by the water flow also fell back to the ground.

At this moment, he also felt some changes in his condition.

After stopping the manipulation of the water flow, he instantly felt a slight fatigue in his body, and his mind became a bit hazy.

"It seems that using this ability not only consumes physical energy but also my mental power."

"That's why I feel tired and my mind is foggy."

After sensing the changes in his body, Jiang Ning quietly spoke to himself.

Next, he continued to absorb the slightly silvery water source from the mud pit.

[Water Nature Experience Points +1]



[Water Nature Experience Points +1]



[Water Nature Experience Points +1]



[.]



As his body absorbed this special water, the experience points for Water Nature soared.

In the blink of an eye.

[Art]: Water Nature + (Second Limit Break 3000/3000) (Trait: Underwater Breathing, Water Manipulation)



Experience points were once again full.

Jiang Ning didn't hesitate and decisively tapped on the plus sign for Water Nature.

In an instant.

[Origin Energy Points] rapidly decreased.

After the transformation.

[Origin Energy]: 26.7

"The third Limit Break indeed consumes fifty Origin Energy points!" Jiang Ning spoke to himself as he glanced at the changes on the panel.

Read the error-free version at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_bar first release.

Subsequently, he looked at another column on the panel.

[Art]: Water Nature (Third Limit Break 23/4000) (Traits: Underwater Breathing, Water Manipulation, Water Spirit Affinity)



[Water Spirit Affinity]: Innate extraordinary affinity with water, enhanced five senses underwater, and state recovery speed multiplied.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning also felt his body changing again.

Just now, as he activated the ability to manipulate the water source, he felt his body become slightly tired, and his mind also became a bit weary, making him feel hazy.

But at this moment, as he soaked in the water, he felt his stamina rapidly recovering.

Not only that, but his mind also escaped the hazy state, becoming increasingly alert.

"So this is the effect of multiplied recovery speed!"

Jiang Ning's eyes lit up.

At this moment, he also noticed another change.

Just now, I was at the bottom of this cave, and it's incredibly dark.

If not for the faint light from some rocks and plant-like water grass, I wouldn't be able to see this underwater cave at all.

But even so, my vision was still extremely poor.

I could barely make out the outlines around me.

But now, it's completely different.

He found his eyesight had improved significantly.

Even in the dim light, he could see about five meters ahead.

This was like a world of difference compared to before.

"Is this the effect of enhanced five senses?"

Jiang Ning spoke to himself, then closed his eyes, quietly sensing the changes in his body.

Soon, he felt his state had reached a peak.

Vigorous, full of energy, his whole body seemed to have endless strength.

"Such a powerful effect!!"

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes, filled with awe.

After personally experiencing the effect of soaking in the water, he finally understood how powerful this multiplied recovery state was.

With this recovery speed, his stamina and mental power were almost infinite underwater.

"Incredible!" He couldn't help but marvel once again.

The next moment, he seemed to recall something and grabbed his spirit weapon, unsheathing his blade.

Then, holding the long sword, he lightly slashed the blade across his arm.

Even with his current level of skin tempering, the sharpness of the spirit weapon in his hand made no difference.

In an instant, a clear wound appeared before his eyes.

Scarlet blood oozed from the wound.

Jiang Ning's eyes widened in astonishment.

Under his gaze, he could clearly see the paper-thin blade wound on his arm rapidly healing.

The speed of recovery was so fast that it was visible to the naked eye.

Although it wasn't as extreme as Shi Xiaoyuan's, even if he were nearly sliced in half, he could quickly recover and heal.

But in Jiang Ning's opinion, this speed was still incredibly fast.

A five to six-centimeter-long wound completely healed in less than ten breaths.

If not for the faint traces of blood that remained as proof of the injury, Jiang Ning might have thought he had imagined the whole thing.

Then, wiping away the bloodstains on his arm, he revealed smooth skin with no sign of the wound.

Without the bloodstains as evidence, the wound seemed to have been an illusion.

"This is insane!" Jiang Ning exclaimed in his mind once more.

Through this test, he truly understood the power of this trait.

Once in the water, he wouldn't tire, and both his stamina and physical strength would recover at an incredibly fast rate.

At the same time, any injuries would also heal at an equally astonishing speed.

In this state, underwater, he was at his strongest.

The next moment, Jiang Ning turned his gaze to the water pit in front of him.

After his previous refinement, the pit still contained many heavenly treasures, though some had been consumed.

"Refining all of these will probably increase my Water Nature experience points by a few more," Jiang Ning thought to himself.

Then, he continued refining the water in the pit.

【Water Nature Experience Points +1】

【Water Nature Experience Points +1】

【Water Nature Experience Points +1】

【.】

As he refined the water, his Water Nature experience points continued to soar.

A moment later, the small pit was devoid of any silver water droplets, and all the water had been absorbed into his body.

【Name】: Jiang Ning

【Source Energy】: 26.7

With insufficient Source Energy points, he couldn't advance his Water Nature skill to the fourth Limit Break.

After all, the fourth Limit Break required a hundred Source Energy points.

Jiang Ning currently had only 26.7 Source Energy points.

But in his eyes, he was getting closer to that goal.

After today, his Source Energy points would undoubtedly surge.

The water in the pit provided an immense boost to his Water Nature skill experience, and with such strong effects, the Source Energy points gained would also be significant.

Then, Jiang Ning continued to refine the remaining water.

【Water Nature Experience Points +1】

【Water Nature Experience Points +1】

【Water Nature Experience Points +1】

The experience points for the Water Nature skill continued to rise.

A short while later, the small pit was completely dry, and all the water had been absorbed.

【Source Energy】: 26.7

"This is amazing!" Jiang Ning looked at his status, feeling extremely satisfied.

The harvest from this trip far exceeded his expectations.

Not only was he about to gain a significant amount of wealth, but he also had the White Dragon Fish as a huge bonus.

The key harvest was the change in his status.

In just one hour, his Water Nature skill had achieved two Limit Breaks and gained two new traits.

Whether it was the Water Control Art or the Water Spirit Affinity trait, Jiang Ning felt it was worth the trip.

Moreover, the experience points for the Water Nature skill had met the requirements for the fourth Limit Break.

He just needed to accumulate a hundred Source Energy points to achieve the fourth Limit Break.
