Two Layers of Shields

Saine spent about a week as a guest at the Underwater Crystal Palace in Sea God Bay.

Given the lifespan and time-related significance of Bixi and Bai Xing, this banquet may have only just begun in a week.

However, the overwhelming anxiety and urgency in his heart led Saine to apologize to the two noble dragons and leave in advance.

Bixi was very kind to Saine; its dark, round eyes revealed its reluctance to part with Saine.

Similarly, Bixi's sister, Bai Xing, has also taken good care of Saine during this period.

At this moment, Saine's Mental Strength value is 7.

Magic Power: 1

Physical condition: 201

His Magic Power and physique not only met Saine's expectations from over a year ago, but also far exceeded them.

Especially in terms of physique, Saine originally planned that over the next few years, a physique score of 140 would be considered acceptable.

But when he ate a piece of translucent Sea Fungus served at a banquet in the Underwater Crystal Palace, his physical condition suddenly increased by more than sixty points.

Even Saine was momentarily stunned.

It turns out that you can also demonstrate your strength through your eating habits.

At the same time, along with his physical strength, Saine's Mental Strength and Magic Power also increased.

Including the fact that Saine's body temperature was frighteningly high at the time, if it weren't for the Bai Xing in the main position who promptly flicked a wisp of Water Element from between his fingers to cover Saine's body and cool him down, he might have ended up with a bad result instead of a good one.

This also shows that any benefit gained without effort has certain drawbacks and limitations.

At this moment, Saine's Mental Strength, Magic Power, and physical constitution all surged, which was not a good thing for Saine for the time being.

At least for now, he cannot control the sudden increase in his physical strength, including the magical elemental methods that Saine relied on, which are now somewhat unstable during the release process.

These are all things that Saine will need some time to adapt to.

Of course, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

Bai Xing also said that the Sea Fungus should be the most suitable treasure for Saine at present.

Although there are many things in her treasure trove that are more precious than that Sea Fungus and can improve Saine's various stats, it's not a good thing for him.

To put it bluntly, forcibly consuming some high-quality treasure could cause one's body to explode, which wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Even without the body exploding, the damage to various bodily functions cannot be recovered in a short time.

That's why Bai Xing said that the Sea Fungus was the most suitable treasure for Saine at the moment. Saine was a Mage sought Truth, not a Knight pursued physical and physical growth.

He knew exactly what he needed and was also aware of the drawbacks behind any unearned gains.

The true source of Mage's power lies in knowledge, not in written Mental Strength, Magic Power, or physical constitution.

Although the increase in these values indicates that a Mage's power may be enhanced.

But in reality, what truly sets Mage apart from others is wisdom and knowledge, not anything else.

Saine understood this, so he didn't linger in the Underwater Crystal Palace any longer.

Even Bixi's sister, Bai Xing, held Saine in higher regard because of this, and a hint of appreciation for Saine was revealed in her eyes.

If Saine is truly the kind of fool who gains favor and other benefits by seduce Bixi.

So what if Bai Xing forcibly uses seabed resources to pile them up to level two?

For Bai Xing, she only gave up a tiny bit of her own to gain a "playmate" with Bixi that could last for thousands of years.

That's all!

The difference in perspective determines the different views of life forms from different social strata.

The fact that Saine was able to recognize his own strengths amidst a sea of advantages already proves his potential and uniqueness.

No wonder he was given a Light of the Planes by the Summer Guardian, and I heard that he is also a disciple of a level four tower master.

Bai Xing's evaluation of Saine was slightly higher.

When Saine left the Underwater Crystal Palace, Bixi and Bai Xing personally escorted Saine to the surface of the sea.

A massive Water Ripple Gate, controlled by Bai Xing, appeared before Saine.

Passing through this Water Ripple Gate, Saine can directly reach the Thousand Leaf Coral Island in the central part of the Western Islands.

As for Gezes City, Saine will have to go to the island to find it himself.

Bai Xing found out where Thousand Leaf Coral Island was through her sea creatures, but she had never heard of such a small place Gezes City.

"The place you're going to is very close to the restricted waters that my father and older brother forbid me from going to."

"And there are a lot of annoying guys there, like the one I swatted in the South Sea," Bixi said purringly.

A layer of emerald green protective shield flew out from Bixi's claws again and disappeared into Saine's body.

After entering Saine's body, the shield became transparent and invisible.

This protective shield was something Saine had seen before. Bixi Bixi specifically placed on him to protect Saine after they parted ways at the border of the Mamet United Alliance.

This protective layer, thanks to Bixi's properties, can last for up to two years.

Saine had no doubt about Bixi's strength. With this shield in place, Saine only needed to avoid provoking those beings above level three.

Even at only the first or second stage, he should be able to go anywhere in the world.

Bixi's actions reminded Bai Xing, or perhaps she had planned this all along, or perhaps it was the result of Bixi's pleading.

A layer of milky white protective shield then popped out from Bai Xing's fingertips, disappeared after Saine's body.

This milky-white protective shield released by Sister Bai Xing is believed to be more protective than the shield provided by Bixi, and it will last longer.

Saine did not inquire about the specific effects of the shield, but he bowed deeply to the two dragons in front of him.

They truly gave to Saine without asking for anything in return, and Saine regarded them as true friends.

The kind of person who would go to great lengths for you.

"I don't want another friend of my sister's to die tragically."

"Especially places near the Black Domain..."

"Your final destination should be the Black Domain, right?" the Giant Mermaid Bai Xing asked abruptly.

Caught off guard by Bai Xing's question, Saine glanced at her and slowly nodded, replying, "I might indeed have to go to the Black Domain to find someone and some old friends."

Bai Xing said, "The Black Domain is no benevolent place. Anyway, be careful."

"If you encounter a powerful enemy that you can't withstand, you might try to escape to the seaside," Bai Xing advised.

"Thank you, senior!" Saine bowed again.

"Hehe, you can call me 'sister' just like Bixi does."

"You're friends, aren't you?" Bai Xing laughed.

"Yes, we are friends!" Bixi exclaimed happily Saine's side.

Saine smiled slightly, nodded to the two giant dragons in front of him, and then stepped into the Water Ripple Gate.

As he stepped into the Water Ripple Gate, Saine belatedly realized that something was amiss.

"Huh? My little sister?"

"Isn't Bixi male?" Saine's expression remained frozen in astonishment.

In a flash, Saine, along with the Water Ripple Gate, disappeared into Sea God Bay.
