The third time was this [Erudite] advancement quest (continued)

Adrian spent ages trying to console himself, but he still felt irritated.

He deliberately shifted his attention to the next entry.

"The [Water Grasping] skill is probably a prerequisite for Fish-Man Island's special martial arts, right? Fish-Man Karate, Fish-Man Jujutsu, that sort of thing."

"With their innate [Webbed Hands] and [Webbed Feet], they can exercise basic control over water, then use it to launch multiple attacks..."

"But why would a Great Swordmaster have to learn Fish-Man Island's special martial arts? Bare-handed martial arts, at that!"

Adrian vaguely wondered whether he had used up all his luck on [Mermaids Never Die in the Sea]. The other random rewards were honestly rather underwhelming.

More precisely, they were of little use to Adrian, whose strength was already among the best!

As for that [Summon: Flying Dutchman]...

Wasn't the spacious, comfortable Nether Abyss, with its extraordinary materials and numerous functions, better than a ghost ship that had sunk centuries ago?

After sorting everything out...

Adrian steadied his emotions and focused all his attention on another reward that was very easy to overlook.

Ten billion experience points!

"The experience bar for reaching level 100... I finally have enough!"

Chapter 394: Level 100, maxed out!

Several years had passed.

Years of crossing the seas to hunt down pirates.

The two annual S-Rank Challenges from Big Mom and Cute Kaido.

[Pirate King's Right Arm] and [Fleet Admiral] on the Sabaody Archipelago two days ago.

And now, the ten billion experience points awarded all at once for completing [Mermaid's Lament].

Adrian had finally accumulated enough experience to bridge the enormous gap from level 80 to the level 100 limit!

He took a deep breath.

Panel!

Level up!

Without hesitation, Adrian poured in vast amounts of experience, instantly filling the empty experience bars from level 81 to level 100!
