Chapter 211: The Prestige of a Legendary Class (Part 2)



[Note: Upon advancing to the Legendary Weapon Master class, the Knight (Supernatural) class panel will be replaced.]



"Yes, sir!" The system notification sounded as the transformation process began.

Ding! "Transformation successful! Constitution +5, Strength +5, Agility +5, and Intelligence +3!"

Ding! "You have entered the legendary class. Total class panels increased by 1, and the current class panel limit is 5."

[Obtained Legendary Weapon Master exclusive talent: Primary Weapon Proficiency (Passive)]



[Obtained Legendary Weapon Master exclusive talent: Primary Supernatural Understanding (Passive)]



[Supernatural trait 'Iron Skin lv3' evolved into talent: Primary Steel Body (Passive)]



Captain Hu opened his mouth, his voice deep and resonant. "How is the defense situation at Fishing Harbor Town?"

...

A middle-aged man with a goatee nodded without saying a word.

She turned and smiled at Ren, "But it's probably just a coincidence!"

Just then, a large white seagull descended from the sky, its wings flapping as it landed on Veronica's right arm.

Baron recalled the situation at that time.

For him, learning these supernatural combat techniques was naturally easier than for others, but the problem was that different techniques required different weapons to perform, and that was an issue.

He would need to prepare many weapons.

"Waldo is seriously injured, and the most likely choice is for him to land at Fishing Harbor Town in Master County or hide on a small island to recover before moving inland again."

That night, Ren didn't have time to test the new talents of the Weapon Master.

"It's not the fault of the Sixth Fleet. They dispatched this team to gather intelligence, not engage in direct combat." The young man who had been analyzing the situation explained.

[Supernatural trait 'Giant Strength lv3' evolved into talent: Primary Giant Strength (Active)]



"I've heard some stories about this 'Skull Crusher' fellow."

"So, although 'Skull Crusher' is on the Imperial Navy's wanted list, he has been playing a game of cat and mouse with the South Sea Fleet by hiding among the numerous islands in the nearby seas, and for now, they can't do much about him."

Ding! "Fusion successful!"

He realized that these must be the black-gilled fishmen.

After the shockwave passed, all the black-gilled fishmen stood frozen in place, as if they had been hit with a petrification spell.

"That's a bit hard to say," Baron muttered, deep in thought.

"Chattering and clattering," a commotion erupted, and two to three dozen black-gilled fishmen wielding various spears, knives, and wooden clubs emerged from both sides, rushing towards Ren and his group with fierce momentum.

After advancing to the Weapon Master class, Ren seemed to have broken free from the shackles that had previously restrained his body, reaching a deeper level of liberation.

Several team members began discussing.

"What will you specialize in?"

The black-gilled fishmen were also bullies, and upon seeing Ren's group of only four people, several of them quickly ran towards the camp, howling and waving their weapons as they began the hunt.

The class panel limit increased again, reaching five (4/5).

As the black-gilled fishmen charged closer, Baron Ren remained calm and composed, standing still without a hint of movement. This caught the attention of the two Special Task Force members, who exchanged glances and couldn't help but speak up, "Sir Ren..."

However, to his surprise, he couldn't find the four talents the system had just mentioned on his class panel.

[Talent: Primary Giant Strength (Active) upgraded to Secondary Giant Strength (Active)]



The name 'Tidewalker' actually held a deeper meaning, as it was derived from an ancient text that stated, 'The Titan Giant walked through the tides to defeat the Ancient Gods.'

Ren couldn't help but feel speechless at the thought of actually doing that, and the outfit was truly outrageous!

The constant system notifications were almost overwhelming, and Ren struggled to keep up with the flood of information.

Secondary Giant Strength (Active) Effect: After use, strength can increase up to 200%.

If he were to encounter such a situation, it would truly be a ghostly encounter!

On the South Sea Fleet side of the Imperial Navy, a small team was heading towards the coastal waters.

"Did you hear that Waldo fled towards the coastal waters?" a young team member asked.

The figure's form became clearer.

"What a powerful person!" The Special Task Force member was still in a daze, staring at the dozens of meters of impact marks on the beach, where the sand and gravel within the range had been shaved off by several centimeters.

The two women exchanged glances, both puzzled and a bit confused for a moment.

But now, things were different. He was actually worried about not having strong enough enemies to test his strength.

...

"Eighteen years old?"

The black-gilled fishmen in the distance witnessed this scene and panicked, quickly turning and scattering in all directions!

Ren smiled, understanding the hidden meaning in Kobert's words.

As Ren was about to continue his inspection, a knock sounded on the door.

"Major Maraika asked us to be extra careful and return to Fishing Harbor Town as soon as possible."

Several young team members behind Baron exchanged glances, whispering among themselves!

This made Ren secretly pleased. The high-quality advanced potion he had consumed earlier had ensured that he didn't lose the 'Steel Body' talent.

Ren refused the suggestion from the Lemann brothers to bring more men, opting for a smaller group consisting of two squire guards. This decision considered the already strained defenses of Fishman Village and the potential benefits of a smaller party for certain actions.

Ren glanced at the clock and realized it was already 7 p.m. He then reviewed each piece of information on the screen meticulously, as every detail seemed crucial.

"Baron, Major Maraika and Miss Vernonica are waiting for you in the dining room for dinner," a servant announced from outside the door.

"I hope Wald doesn't directly attack Fishman Village," Ren muttered.

"Captain, the only one with some fighting power seems to be a young girl," Captain Baron recalled, pondering aloud.

"A peak knight?" Captain Baron exclaimed, glancing at his team member in surprise.

Name: Ren Karan

Ren shook his head slightly, thinking, "With such a long coastline, we don't know where they'll land, and there are so many scattered islands near the shore."

"Captain Ebalon, this Baron Ren seems special. His intelligence includes a confidential piece of information stating that he was the top-ranked candidate in the winter batch of 2334 in the Imperial Calendar for the Minster Provincial City's enfeoffment examination."

"Yes, Captain!" A team member named Odeva at the stern cast a wizard ritual, and with a flash of blue light, the speed of the small boat increased by two levels.

"The winter batch of 2334 in the Imperial Calendar? That's just over a month ago. He might not have had time to grow yet."

Ren, who had not yet attained the 'Weapon Master' title, might have worried about the consequences of losing to the Black Gill Fishmen.

As the Black Gill Fishmen approached within ten meters, the pungent smell of the sea became almost overwhelming. Suddenly, Ren made his move.

"It says here he's a peak knight."

"According to the intelligence, aside from the elite squad led by two high knights sent by the Habsburg County's Duke, there's also a special task force from our Imperial Navy stationed in Fishman Village."

"That's not good," another team member said, seemingly reviewing the gathered intelligence.

Ren looked around and noticed that the shoreline was scattered with the Black Gill Fishmen's stilt houses, making it time-consuming to find a suitable landing spot.

Ren examined his new profession panel, which now displayed the 'Weapon Master (Legendary)' title. The previous 'Knight (Supernatural)' panel had disappeared.

"On the other hand, he's not just a high knight but also a third-level wizard apprentice, just a step away from becoming a formal wizard, making him extremely formidable."

"Let's change our perspective. If such a talented individual were to perish before reaching their full potential, it would be a loss for the Empire." Captain Baron spoke gravely.

At the other end of the island, 'Skullcrusher' Wald suddenly woke up from his slumber, muttering, "Huh? No earthquake?"

"Haha, Baron, with such a long coastline, the chances of us encountering them are slim. Let's continue searching for the Iron Beak Sea Eagle's chicks."

Compared to the Black Gill Fishmen, the Black Sail Pirate Fleet's appearance was dark, and their bodies were covered in fine, slippery scales.

With the selection of his new profession, Ren's strength would surge once more! Next were the two exclusive talents of the 'Weapon Master (Legendary)' profession.

Ren wasn't in a hurry to unlock these talents, as he still had an unlearned supernatural skill—the 'Blood Fury Archery' from the 'Blood Fury Archer' Phil Klats.

Upon hearing the captain's inquiry, the young team member analyzing the situation immediately perked up, saying, "Captain, although Fishman Village has some defensive forces, the gap in strength between them and Wald is immense."

A visible wave of air, mixed with sand and gravel, swept through the front fan-shaped area, engulfing all the Black Gill Fishmen warriors! "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Boom!"

This profession had an incredibly high growth rate! A 30% increase in learning speed for supernatural skills meant that as time passed and Ren learned and upgraded his skills, his arsenal of combat techniques would expand.

Action: As they approached the island, Ren and his group could see numerous stilt houses along the shore, and faintly discerned several humanoid figures wandering about, seemingly fishing along the coast.

"A Third-Level Wizard Apprentice specializing in Bird Transformation? Although they're also a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice, they don't have much combat power." Captain Baron frowned slightly, shook his head, and sighed.

[Weapon Master (Legendary) Exclusive Talent: Initial Weapon Proficiency (Passive)]



Profession: Weapon Master (Legendary) lv1 (0/100) / Wizard Apprentice (Supernatural) lv6 (11/3000) / Beastmaster (Supernatural) lv5 (102/2000) / Armorer lv6 (211/3000)



Ren searched and found the descriptions of these four talents below the attribute column in the property panel.

At this moment, Ren could feel the excitement and joy in every cell of his body, and a surging power coursed through him.

"Alright! I'll do it!"

A High Knight and a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice?

"The young lady?"

It was likely that if he had chosen the High Knight profession, these two talents would probably not appear.

Constitution: 27 Strength: 27 Agility: 28 Spirit: 31 Remaining Attribute Points: 5 Remaining Skill Points: 0 Below the panel title, above the skill icons, were several lines of small text:

Ren already had an idea in mind.

However, Ren didn't mind encountering the leader of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet by chance.

"I wonder which general gave the order. Unbelievable."

So, he shook his head and said, "No need, let's land directly."

(Note: 'Hammer Specialization lv3' remains unchanged.) [Weapon Master (Legendary) Exclusive Talent: Elementary Supernatural Understanding (Passive)]



"Yes, Captain, the strongest member of the Special Forces is named Veronica, an eighteen-year-old girl. She is an apprentice of Master Aeneus, specializing in Bird Transformation as a Third-Level Wizard Apprentice."

"As for Fishman Village, you can rest assured. She has coordinated with the Lehman brothers to strengthen the defense, and there are currently patrols around the clock."

With just one strike, Ren eliminated over thirty Black Gill Fishman Warriors! " (Fishman Language) Waaa~~~"

Which one of these captains isn't a Peak Knight?

"That's right! Captain Baron!"

After a moment of thought, Ren felt that it might be related to the weak strength of the Black Gill Fishmen.

He wondered who was stronger, himself as a newly promoted Weapon Master and Third-Level Wizard Apprentice, or these Fishmen.

"Kuo Bert, after some time, I will propose to Habsburg County that I no longer serve as the Governor and Chief of Police of Fishman Village. Regarding this, I'd like to recommend you as the Governor, and I'd like to hear your opinion."

"A high-ranking pirate they were pursuing, the leader of the Black Sail Pirate Fleet, nicknamed 'Skull Crusher', Wald Niharlu, might not have fled into the open sea but instead came to the coastal area."

Too weak. Ren couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"This will allow him to evade our search in the short term."

Last time it was Phil Klats, the vice-captain, and now he's the captain? What a coincidence!

However, the scene seemed a bit too grand and eye-catching! After some thought, Ren couldn't come up with a good solution, so he shook his head slightly and continued to read.

Ren didn't notice this, but at this moment, he was reading the system prompt: [Your skill Tokkar Hammer Technique has improved, experience +27]



The two Supernatural talents of the Knight level had transformed into talents.

"No rush, leave it to me." Ren said calmly.

He had switched to four different weapons, and in the future, four would definitely not be enough; perhaps it would be six!

On Kuo Bert Lemann's charming face, a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't help but glance at Ren repeatedly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest.

The fish head had a pair of bulging bubble eyes and a large mouth full of sharp teeth, emitting a stench of fish, but there was no sign of the distinctive dorsal fin of the Evil Fin Fishman on its back.

"Baron, are you sure you don't intend to continue serving as the Governor of Fishman Village? Actually, we can serve as the Chief of Police and help you with some of the work." Kuo Bert rubbed his hands and said.

The 'Legendary' level should kill the 'Supernatural' level to gain decent experience, while killing those below the 'Supernatural' level would result in a sharp reduction in experience.

In fact, when Ren finished speaking, he didn't really need to hear Kuo Bert's opinion.

Ren smiled and nodded, "Alright!"

Elementary Weapon Proficiency (Passive) Effect: The Weapon Master has a natural familiarity with various weapons, and using any weapon comes with a 'Specialization lv1' effect.

They had webbed hands and feet, and the weapons they held were also varied, mainly inferior weapons like tridents, spears, and broadswords.

"What strength?" Baron turned to look at the team members, asking with a hint of doubt.

Moreover, they all seemed to be experienced in combat!

The first battle after advancing to the Legendary profession 'Weapon Master' turned out to be against these Black Gill Fishmen.

".

"Bird Transformation?"

Although compared to the Evil Fin Fishmen, these Black Gill Fishmen were a level higher, and among these Black Gill Fishman Warriors, there were even two or three strong individuals with strength reaching the Quasi-Knight level.

[Ding! Host discovered the core skill 'Power Burst' can be automatically fused with the talent 'Intermediate Great Strength'.]



(Note: The effect of 'Steel Body' is positively correlated with Spirit.) [Talent: Intermediate Great Strength (Active)]



Hiss! Except for a three-point increase in Spirit, all other attributes rose by five points! No wonder he felt full of strength and vitality.

As they approached.

"The heart of the Sixth Fleet is truly great!"

"But I clearly felt a slight tremor just now."

"Sir Ren, do you need to land on a shore without Black Gill Fishmen?

Action: Ren, with a serious expression, spoke up.

It wasn't that Ren didn't value the urgent intelligence provided by Major Maraika, but what Veronica said was indeed what he was thinking at that moment.

"Is it the special task force dispatched by the Sixth Fleet?"

"You two can wait here for us. The Fishmen probably won't return. If there's any unexpected situation, you can evacuate immediately. We'll fire a signal flare when we're done."

After dinner, Ren informed the Lemann brothers that he needed to make a trip the next day and asked them to handle the administrative affairs of the Fishing Harbor Town.

However, their height had increased significantly, averaging around 1.6 meters, and their physiques seemed to have improved by a level.

The Fishmen were like snakes with their spines removed, lying limp on the beach.

Suddenly, Ren's mind flashed with an image from his previous life—a Peking Opera actress with four flags of different colors behind her.

Seeing this, Ren couldn't help but feel excited.

But then, another thought crossed Ren's mind.

"Perhaps they can hold off for a while, but the odds of winning against Wald are slim."

They were the 'Fish Dragon Squad,' responsible for capturing Wald, under the special department 'Tide Striders' of the Imperial Navy, similar in structure to the 'Swordbearers' but with a much smaller coverage.

Black Sail Pirate Fleet leader? Ren was taken aback. That was the pirate fleet of Blood Fury Archer Phil Klats.

This time, they were not careful enough and were deceived by Wald's Water Clone Technique. They had chased him all the way to the open sea before realizing that they had been pursuing just a clone. Because it was a water-based clone, its duration in seawater was exceptionally long, and the effect was so good that it had fooled all of them.

"Then it's settled. I'll write a letter to the Duke of Habsburg later." Ren waved his hand and said.

(Note: Duration is positively correlated with Physique.) (Note: The increase can be freely controlled between 1% and 200%.) (Note: All talents cannot be enhanced using skill points.) Ren looked at the two exclusive talents of the Weapon Master and couldn't help but ponder.

Therefore, this time, Ren asked Major Maraika to select two skilled ship operators from the naval task force to accompany them.

Instead, he went to the blacksmith to have his plate gauntlets fitted with Blade Tigers.

"Coming ashore at Fishing Harbor Town? It's not possible for people to be there, so he can obtain supplies." A teammate nodded, agreeing with the analysis.

Primary Steel Body (Passive) Effect: The skin's surface constantly interacts with surrounding metal elements, significantly enhancing the skin's defensive capabilities.

The entire panel flashed with a unique blue light, distinct from the green light of the previous Knight (Supernatural) profession panel.

Next, if he came across any good Supernatural Skills, he would definitely acquire them.

Ren turned to the two stunned task force members and said,

Perhaps, the reason why the system recognized the Weapon Master as a legendary profession was these two exclusive talents.

During dinner, both Maraika and Veronica could sense the joy in Ren's expression.

But he wasn't being humble; he genuinely didn't have time to continue serving as the governor of Fishing Harbor Town.

Since it was an outdoor mission, Veronica changed into her loose light blue wizard robe, covering her attractive figure.

Ren refocused his attention on the Weapon Master (Legendary) profession panel.

If he happened to encounter this so-called 'Skull Crusher,' it would be a good thing.

He drew out the dark dual-handed hammer from his back, and with sand and gravel scattering under his feet, he leaped high into the air, raising the hammer with both hands and slamming it down onto the beach!

Veronica nodded, her expression turning solemn as she introduced,

But soon, Veronica's knitted brows relaxed.

With so many Black Gill Fishmen across the way, he wouldn't be able to withstand a siege."

"Aldua, hurry to Fishing Harbor Town!"

The next second, a rapid series of explosions sounded from within the Black Gill Fishmen!

After a few seconds, Veronica turned to Ren with a puzzled expression and said,

He didn't think his teammates would underestimate Wald's strength so much. It was known that even captains of sixth-level Imperial Navy ships had fallen to him.

"First place?" Several young people looked at the teammate who had analyzed the situation.

The young analyst flipped through the stack of intelligence reports, reaching the last few pages, and seemed to find something interesting. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, Captain, I checked the latest intelligence. The governor of Fishing Harbor Town is a Baron named Ren, and he seems to be quite capable. Perhaps he can hold them off for a while."

"For example, he has defeated three captains of the sixth-level patrol ships in the Southern Fleet. These three captains were all Navy Colonels with strengths reaching the level of Master Knights, yet they all died at his hands."

Like an arrow released from a bow, they sliced through the waves, heading towards the nearshore area—almost simultaneously, Ren and Veronica boarded a small boat and set off towards the target island.

Good fortune brings joy to the heart!

Wald looked at the rising sun on the horizon and realized it was already morning.

"Forget it, let's get up and find something to eat!"

"I wonder when someone from the Eagle Federation will come looking for me."

"I contacted them yesterday using the communication wizard ritual device provided by the Eagle Federation spy. Logically, someone should be coming to find me today or tomorrow."

It wasn't that Wald wanted to be a lackey for the Eagle Federation; he couldn't help but feel agitated, thinking about his missed promotion and the Black Sail Pirate Fleet, which he had painstakingly built, being destroyed by the Imperial Navy! Wald felt that he had to take revenge; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to calm down!
