After obtaining the Sea King Crown, its effects on Ye Zhongming were not only reflected in his perception and application of tidal force, but more significantly in the use of the Sea King Mark.
Now, all core members of Cloud Summit possessed the ability granted by the Sea King Mark. Although the combat power they gained through the seawater could not be said to be excessively strong, it at least provided them with remarkable capabilities.
Even in the absence of Park Soo-young, they could use seawater to heal certain injuries. With the highest level unsealing scroll in hand, Ye Zhongming could unlock the next ability of the Sea King Crown.
From the moment he acquired this silver-tier equipment, he was filled with anticipation. An item crowned by the roulette as a king surely couldn’t be a mundane item!
Thus, Ye Zhongming promptly took out the Sea King Crown and began the unsealing process. A faint halo emanated from the crown, illuminating the secret warehouse with vivid colors. Strands of light separated from the halo like flowers blooming, and as these strands flourished, the silver hue that previously enveloped the crown transformed into a soft green.
Ye Zhongming quickly received a prompt in his mind.
“Sea King Crown (Green) (Sealed, Sealing Count: 4)”
“Ability 1: Sea King Mark. Bestowed by the owner of the Sea King Crown, granting the mark's abilities. Level 1 ability: Breath in Water. Level 2 ability: Water Resistance. Level 3 ability: Enhanced Perception. Level 4 ability: Water Healing. Level 5 ability: Damage Reduction in Water. Level 6 ability: Sealed. Level 7 ability: Sealed. Level 8 ability: Sealed. Level 9 ability: Sealed.”
“Ability 2: Tidal Force, nourishing the owner's power, enhancing their perception and application of power.”
“Ability 3: Azure Softness, seawater will nourish the owner’s body, continuously improving their overall physical qualities.”
“Ability 4: Sealed.”
“…”
After unsealing the Sea King Crown, two additional abilities emerged: one was damage reduction in water from the Sea King Mark, and the other was the great ability Azure Softness.
Unlike other equipment, the Sea King Crown could not precisely display the specific numerical values of the abilities it bestowed upon its owner.
However, due to the earlier effects of Tidal Force and the healing sensations from water, Ye Zhongming could use these as references.
While he couldn't estimate accurately, he was certain that the Sea King Crown's enhancement of abilities was not exaggerated.
For instance, the water healing ability had been tested soon after obtaining the Sea King Crown; the effect was present but not particularly obvious. As for Tidal Force, Ye Zhongming could feel its assistance in controlling his power, yet it did not yield immediate results either.
Therefore, regarding the emergence of these two abilities, Ye Zhongming was pleased but not overly elated. The Sea King Crown was undoubtedly one of the best pieces of equipment available… perhaps even the best. However, in the short term, its impact might not be as significant as that of the black halo shield skill.
What Ye Zhongming looked forward to even more was whether the fully unsealed Sea King Crown would become… rainbow equipment!
If that were possible, he might truly stand at the pinnacle of Earth because of it.
After learning the black halo shield, Ye Zhongming lost a blue equipment item, Blue Water Rock, but he gained three good items in return.
He was extremely satisfied with Xiao Peng’s achievements during this phase.
Upon finding the roulette, Ye Zhongming converted all the magic crystals obtained from the Cloud Port Branch into Evolution Potions, even supplementing a few fifth-level magic crystals.
He handed over several thousand bottles of potions ranging from one-star to five-star to Xiao Peng, and after spending two days crafting a batch of excellent equipment, he upgraded Xiao Peng’s gear significantly after attending the recognition ceremony at Cloud Port Base, then left Cloud Port.
