CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 226 NEW TALENT: STORM FURY_2

The body plummeted, and the center of gravity was out of control.

In an instant, it was as if the world was frozen.

Panel prompts appeared rapidly.

[You have gained the Talent Light Group: Storm Fury!]

[A sequential talent left by a Transcendent — Blessed by the Storm God!]

[Talent fusion successful!]

[Effect 1: Your Spiritual Strength permanently +10!]

[Effect 2: You can expend spiritual power to unleash Storm Fury, deterring others’ Spiritual Will, influencing parts of reality!]

[Effect 3: This talent grows passively, its effect positively correlated with your own Spiritual Will!]

All the panel information flashed before his eyes, and the celestial phenomena suddenly dissipated.

Whether it was the fierce wind or the dark clouds, they all vanished in an instant.

His falling body was just about to plunge into the lake when, at the last moment, a dusky blue tentacle swiftly reached out, gently catching him and allowing him to stand smoothly on top, landing on the lake’s surface.

"Storm Fury?"

Gradually regaining his senses, Chen Feng paid no heed to the external changes, focusing intently on his own condition.

[Will: 54.2→64.2]

His Will attribute surged significantly, directly surpassing his previously strongest Constitution.

Mentally, there was no substantial change, but he could clearly feel a massive shift in his spiritual state.

It was as if, he used to be a ball of cotton, but now he was a piece of steel.

He even vaguely sensed that he seemed to have touched a layer of limit, just a little more.

"Extreme Realm?"

Suddenly, he recalled the words Zhou Wuren had mentioned before.

He didn’t delve too deeply into it, as his thoughts at this moment were focused on the talent.

"It can deter others’ spirits, even influence parts of reality...."

With a stroke of inspiration, he basically understood the talent’s effect.

At the same time, he realized why Falling Eagle Island had previously made people feel a sense of power suppression.

It all stemmed from the so-called Storm Fury, which was essentially spiritual deterrence.

Whether it was him or those who came here before, their spirits were actually under heavy pressure, causing control over their bodies to misalign, mistakenly believing it to be direct physical suppression.

"In other words, if the talent is unleashed, all enemies within range will be deterred, regardless of friend or foe."

"Those deterred would faint, their state declining, or even have their spirit directly shattered...."

His eyes lit up with newfound understanding, and Chen Feng thought of a crucial point.

If this skill were used against Transformed People, could it directly suppress and eliminate them, avoiding the so-called consciousness revival and reboot?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt the possibility was significant, and he looked towards Jia Ta.

Their emerald eyes gazed, seemingly puzzled.

"Let’s try."

"Sha?"

Buzz!!!

A powerful Will was suddenly unleashed, and Storm Fury reappeared in the world.

In an instant.

Buzz!

Jia Ta’s consciousness was impacted, causing the tentacles to sink, staggering and swaying.

Chen Feng’s eyes gleamed brightly before he quickly withdrew his spirit.

"Sha!!"

Jia Ta regained composure, eyes filled with fear and speaking in distress.

Through communication and reassurance, Chen Feng learned the potency of the recent strike.

The sensation Jia Ta felt was akin to when he first arrived at Falling Eagle Island, feeling as if all his strength was suppressed, with spirit shaking intensely, nearly leading to unconsciousness.

"Even effective against Fifth-tier creatures... though it consumes quite a lot."

"At full power, I could use it no more than three times in a short period and can’t sustain it for too long."

"If it’s below the Fifth Rank, it’s much easier..."

Chen Feng roughly concluded from his experimentation.

The stronger the enemy, the greater the consumption of deterrence.

The longer it was maintained, the greater the consumption, requiring him to rest his spirit for recovery afterwards.

However, even so, Chen Feng was quite satisfied.

Moreover, the passive growth of the talent was a bit of a pleasant surprise.

Unlike Green Armor, Steel Bones, and others, it didn’t require him to actively acquire nourishment.

As long as his spiritual power enhanced, the power of the talent deterrence would autonomously grow stronger.

"Indeed, no matter the talent."

"Ultimately, it’s still related to my own strength."

Shaking his head, Chen Feng further realized that while talent was a trump card, it couldn’t be overly relied upon.

It’s merely a method against enemies, not the foundational power like Physique and spirit.

"Sha!!"

Jia Ta suddenly spoke, causing Chen Feng to be slightly startled.

Following his gaze, he saw two mermaids with eyes rolling back, appearing unconscious, floating on the lake surface.

He caught Jia Ta’s inquiry about how to handle these two mermaids and whether to awaken them.

"After I leave, it’d be better for them not to know too much."

Even if the dissipating electricity hadn’t rendered them unconscious, he would have acted to knock them out.

After all, his state and actions would seem odd to anyone.

Even if they couldn’t see the Talent Light Group, they’d still be full of speculation.

"Watch over them, wait for my message."

Chen Feng instructed Jia Ta a couple of times, intending to visit Banli Port once more.

He had previously left the mermaids there because Jia Ta was needed to help protect the emerging Light Group, just in case.

Now, if conditions allowed, he wouldn’t mind having them assist, escorting him away, to Fishman Bay to exchange for the Blue Heart Stone.

"Sha!"

Jia Ta nodded repeatedly, big eyes rolling around.

During this, it extended a tentacle, gently touching Chen Feng’s palm, akin to a pleasing puppy.

Chen Feng intended to leave immediately, but soon, his Perception reacted.

He discovered a tentacle hidden underwater was clutching a slightly glowing silver coin.

It seemed it had slipped from the mermaid’s hand.

"Where did this come from?"

He asked, thinking Jia Ta might have plundered it from a caravan.

"Sha!!"

Jia Ta responded, slightly unwilling, surfacing the tentacle to reveal the silver coin.

It bore numerous scratches and some rotting marks, with a bit of green algae at its cornered edge.

It seemed to have been soaking in the water for quite some time and was recently retrieved and roughly polished for shine.

"Oh, you had them find it for you?"

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised, not having realized before that this octopus fancied such trinkets.

"Don’t worry, I won’t take yours."

Shaking his head, he left the coin untouched, Jia Ta’s eyes swirling, visibly relieved.

In the next moment.

"Next time, I’ll bring you a few."

As the words fell, Chen Feng was already ashore, waving farewell.

The large emerald eyes widened in sudden cheer, accompanied by cries of delight.

"Sha!!"

The sound echoed, and Chen Feng smiled slightly.

Having acquired the Talent Light Group, his mood was naturally good; without Jia Ta’s protection and notification, he might have missed this opportunity.

Buzz!

Immediately, the Holy Shield Giant, which he had retracted in the moment of tumbling into the lake, reappeared, slowly solidifying before him into a massive mountainous figure.

Its surface bore some damage, but it was not a major issue and was already beginning a slow restoration.

Aside from this.

"Falling Eagle Island, it might require a name change in the future...."

Chen Feng stood by the lake, looking up at the sky.

The suppressive force enveloping the island weakened progressively, evidenced by the Holy Shield Giant vibrating its Stone Wings, forcibly breaking through barriers, hovering mid-air.

Chen Feng suspected this was because he had acquired Storm Fury.

The suppression here derived from it, and by integrating and taking it away, the remaining power naturally continued to decay and dissipate.

A thought crossed his mind, he leapt onto the Giant Statue’s shoulder back.

Wooosh!!

The Stone Wings flapped, stirring up fierce winds.

The lake surface rippled, bits of debris and splinters rolled sideways.

Whoosh!!!

The White Gray body sliced through the sky, heading straight out of the island, flying higher and higher.

All suppression vanished at this moment, leaving only a vast expanse of sea and sky.
