Chapter 396: Everyone Leveled Up, Learning Techniques

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Chen also seized the chance to gain some experience.
At this moment, his level had already reached level 39, with about half of the experience bar remaining until he reached level 40. With the army’s dedicated efforts in battle, the experience bar was steadily progressing toward being filled.
Every ten levels was a significant milestone. Ordinary professions could learn a new skill every ten levels, which was one of the stable channels for ordinary profession players to acquire skills.
However, this clearly did not apply to Ji Chen.
After all, the Tidal Dominator was a legendary profession. He hadn’t learned any skills when he reached level twenty or thirty. Besides the initial skills he received when he obtained the profession, he acquired the rest through skill scrolls or various opportunities.
Skills like the Tidal Domain, Triple Casting, and Multitasking…
Ji Chen recalled the Multitasking skill. He had inadvertently comprehended this skill while helping the elves clear a collapsed cave.
Although it was only a purple-tier skill, there was a tremendous potential waiting to be explored. During this calm period, he planned to study it carefully.
With a wave of his hand, three water beings with spears appeared in front of him. Controlling three of them simultaneously was relatively easy for him. Under his control, they formed a simple three-person formation and charged towards the front line.
A few minutes later.
All three water beings were torn apart by the monsters and their bodies melted back into the ocean. Ji Chen didn’t immediately recreate them, his eyes filled with contemplation.
Based on the brief test just now, the strength of these water beings was roughly at the level of Tier 4, 2-star to Tier 4, 3-star.
They had some autonomous combat capabilities, but they weren’t exceptionally strong.
This might be related to the skill level, his current mana, and spiritual power.
Then, Ji Chen continued his experiments to see how many he could generate and control at the moment.
He went from three to five.
The mental pressure increased slightly, feeling like a small stone pressing on his head.
With a wave of his hand, he continued to generate more.
From five, he directly went to ten.
The mental pressure was like a gentle cushion enveloping his head, gradually warming up, almost as if an idle graphics card suddenly began its cooling fan.
Pressure was beginning to build.
Ji Chen’s face showed some interest. Controlling ten entities that felt like extensions of his body was a strange sensation.
It was like an extension of his physical self.
The number of water beings increased from ten to twenty.
The mental pressure abruptly increased, but it was still manageable.
Then, they became thirty.
The pressure increased further but was not at its limit.
He focused all his attention, and the ongoing battle in front of him couldn’t disturb his concentration.
In front of him, the row of water beings increased from thirty to forty, then from forty to sixty, finally coming to a halt at a hundred.
This quantity represented the limit of what Ji Chen could currently control. If it were merely about generating, he could easily create hundreds or even thousands at will, but the ideal number for both generation and control rested at a hundred.
He had experimented with generating more than a hundred water beings, and it proved challenging to control them. They became unruly, almost as if suffering from a seizure, making it difficult to even move, let alone command them in battle.
Ji Chen was quite satisfied with this experimental result. Compared to the Fifth-Tier units like Naga Guardians and Dragon Blood Murlocs, these hundred Tier 4, 2-star water beings were nothing special.
But Ji Chen remained optimistic.
Now, Multitasking was only a purple-tier skill. Once it advanced to a red-tier skill or even an orange-tier skill, the combat capabilities of the water beings would undoubtedly see significant improvements, possibly reaching Tier 5, Tier 6, or even the top-tier Tier 7.
The water beings possessed a natural undead characteristic – as long as there was water nearby and Ji Chen had mana, these water-bodied soldiers were practically immortal.
This was a unique combat style resulting from the interaction between the Tidal Dominator profession and the Multitasking skill.
“Ding- Due to your experimentation and development, the skill ‘Multitasking’ (purple-tier skill) has extended into a sub-skill: ‘Condense Water into Soldiers’ (purple-tier skill).”
“The strength of the sub-skill is determined by the main skill, and it will improve as the main skill does.”
Well, there’s another setting he had never seen before.
This made him even more certain about the potential of the Multitasking skill!
Following behind the leveling army on the back of a Tyrant Azure Dragon, he seized both experience and time to practice and ponder. Soon, he had the hundred water soldiers under his complete control.
Due to the nature of water, aside from the spear-wielding soldier form, they could also transform into archers, sword and shield infantry, cavalry, and even some non-humanoid forms.
So, an odd scene unfolded during the Ocean Crown army’s clearing of monster dens. Among the army, there were strange and diverse unidentified creatures.
Originally, due to Ji Chen’s previous absence, the number of monsters in the Stormy Sea had risen. However, the Ocean Crown Army quickly cleared them out like locusts devouring crops.
The results were remarkable.
Three days later.
On a small island at the southern edge of the Stormy Sea, roughly the size of a basketball court.
As the last monster fell, aside from the Ocean Crown Army and the heroes, there were no more living enemies around. The area was littered with the corpses of monsters floating in the water.
“Herald, destroy this monster’s nest.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Herald, the double-winged Naga, raised his right hand, and lightning flickered in his palm. A thunderous orb flew out and obliterated the monster’s nest on the island.
“Ding- Your hero, Herald (Deep Sea Naga Hero), destroyed a Tier 4 monster’s nest and gained experience…”
“Ding- As a result, you have gained 8,920 experience points, and your level has increased (39^40)..”
