New Character Template

Although she had been in the Pirate World for less than a month, she had already collected four Devil Fruits, which could be called a bountiful harvest.

She looked at these four Devil Fruits with a sense of pride; she surely hadn't brought shame to the name of a transmigrator.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Lady Carl."

"Come in!"

Hearing Clay's knock, Carl hurriedly put the Devil Fruits away.

"Lady Carl, the loot has been tallied."

"The wealth amounts to approximately 1.4 billion Beli."

"Since you requested that half be set aside, your share this time is 700 million Beli."

Clay stood at the doorway and spoke respectfully to Carl, though his expression held a hint of regret. After all, giving away half of the plundered goods was something that had never happened before on Hachinosu.

Carl was the first captain to ever do such a thing, but then again, she was his savior.

After all, his experiences on Hachinosu had taught him that ordinary pirates rarely saw even ten percent of their actual take-home pay.

Just as Carl was lamenting that only one of the three iron chests had contained a Devil Fruit, Clay had already finished moving the valuable items on the island and come to report to her.

"As for the other items, they will need to be sold through the underworld to get a further valuation."

"Understood. We'll handle the rest once we return to Hachinosu."

Carl said with a contemplative look. Seeing Clay approach, an idea occurred to her.

"Right, select some Fishmen from among the slaves to form a rescue team."

"Distribute the rest among the various squads."

She chose to distribute the people this way because, as her team grew, many crew members would inevitably possess Devil Fruit powers.

This rescue team could then be responsible for diving into the sea to retrieve Devil Fruit users; after all, a Devil Fruit user was still quite useful.

Under her command, she had established ten squads, each currently consisting of only twenty or thirty people.

Since she had rescued over 500 slaves this time, she had no choice but to disperse them into the various squads.

After all, she didn't want to waste too much energy worrying about internal discord. In her view, these people wouldn't be with her for the long haul, so she didn't want to expend the effort.

"Understood, Lady Carl."

Clay immediately grasped the meaning behind Lady Carl's words and would arrange it right away. By now, Clay was effectively acting as Carl's steward, and she entrusted many matters directly to him.

Though, in his heart, Clay had long since decided to pledge his life to Carl.

"Oh, and go check on how Long Yi and Long Er are doing."

After assigning the tasks, Carl thought of the two children, Long Yi and Long Er.

"Who are Long Yi and Long Er?"

Clay was momentarily confused.

In his memory, there were no such people on the ship. Could there be something he didn't know about?

"Two children I picked up along the way."

She recalled the disheveled appearance of Long Yi and Long Er in the alleyway.

She couldn't help but find her own actions somewhat amusing; she never expected that one day she would become a so-called good person.

"Yes, Lady Carl. I will go check on them and report the situation to you shortly."

"Alright, you may go."

Carl waved her hand. Since she had now survived in the Pirate World for a full month, the moment Clay turned to leave, she immediately summoned the Chinese Anime System.

Carl opened the system's virtual panel and saw the monthly draw count change from 0 to 1.

"System, draw."

Carl hadn't drawn in a long time, so she was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of prize she would get.

A golden wheel appeared out of thin air on the virtual screen before her, displaying various hero characters from Chinese anime.

"Yuan Tiangang from Buliangren, Fire Element from Fog Hill of Five Elements, the Old Celestial Master from The Outcast..."

The black pointer began to spin rapidly across the golden wheel.

"The prizes are quite generous today."

"Even the Old Celestial Master is here."

Compared to the Old Celestial Master, the other hero templates on the wheel were a bit lacking.

The Old Celestial Master practiced immortality and was known for the saying: "I am invincible below the immortals, and I can trade lives with anyone above them."

Moreover, as the pinnacle of power in The Outcast, his strength was certainly not to be underestimated.

Carl watched the golden wheel spin slowly, closed her eyes tightly, and silently called out the name of the Old Celestial Master in her heart.

"Congratulations to the host for drawing the Old Celestial Master template."

Carl was instantly exhilarated, jumping straight up from his stool; this was the best reward he had received thus far.

"The reward has been placed in your inventory. Please check the specific details yourself, host."

Faintly, Carl felt as though he heard a hint of envy in the system's voice.

"View the description of the Old Celestial Master."

"Hero Template: The Outcast's Old Celestial Master.

Background: Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei is the 65th generation Celestial Master of the Heavenly Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain. One of the Ten Elders, his Daoist name is Tiantong. As the 'peak' among the 'one peak, two heroes,' his strength is immeasurable; he is the most powerful superhuman in The Outcast.

Skills: Golden Light Spell, Yang Five Thunders, Palm Thunder, Heart Purification Spell, Thunder Method, and various Daoist fist techniques."

Seeing the character profile of the Old Celestial Master, Carl's mood felt like a rollercoaster.

He knew he had hit the jackpot with this monthly draw; he never expected he would actually be able to draw the Old Celestial Master's template.

He spoke with impatience.

"System, fuse the Old Celestial Master template."

"Template fusion in progress..."

As Carl's body began to merge with the Old Celestial Master template, it underwent a violent transformation.

He felt a scorching energy surge through his entire body, as if every single cell was being activated and evolving, his strength multiplying instantly.

His muscles became firmer and stronger, his bones grew harder, and his height even increased further, reaching 2.9 meters. The strengthening of his nervous system also made his senses significantly sharper.

At the same time, his mind became incredibly acute, his memory was greatly enhanced, and many memories buried deep within his mind became crystal clear.

Carl discovered that he had become more agile, and his comprehension and analytical abilities had improved drastically.

A vast amount of knowledge flooded his mind; he knew these were the skills possessed by the Old Celestial Master.

In that instant, it felt as if he had been practicing for decades.

Once the fusion ended, he clenched his fists, and with the contraction of his muscles, he could clearly feel that he had become much stronger.

Carl opened his right hand, and instantly, a flower of lightning bloomed from his palm—it was the Palm Thunder.

He looked at the lightning in his hand with some surprise, thinking to himself that perhaps he could even pose as a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user in the future.

"How amazing!"

"It feels just like an instinct."

"It's just that it consumes my stamina and bodily energy—I suppose you could call it internal energy."

Just as he condensed a bolt of Palm Thunder, he keenly sensed that his stamina had decreased by a small fraction, consuming roughly 1% of his total.

However, he was a possessor of Titan Power; his stamina recovered faster than this minor consumption, so he had absolutely no need to worry about depletion.

He just didn't know how powerful it was. Carl looked at the table in front of him and slowly broke into a smile.

"Crack, boom!"

The Palm Thunder struck the table before him.

The table instantly turned into charred remains, shattering across the floor.
