Han Sen had always needed a hyper geno art for underwater fighting. To fight in the water was completely different to fighting on land. The effects of water pressure and resistances were considerable. The shift in the effectiveness of certain land hyper geno arts to how they performed in the water likewise very acute.

Han Sen had many S-Class licenses of the Saint Hall, so spending one more did not concern him much. And now here he was, arriving in the Saint Hall to purchase an additional hyper geno art.

Humans found it hard to hunt creatures in the water, so there were not many underwater-based hyper geno art to select from. Han Sen's choices were strictly limited.

Out of the eight underwater ones available, he picked one S-Class licensed hyper geno art. He did not dwell on the purchase too much, and quickly bought it outright.

Han Sen had picked the S-Class licensed hyper geno art called ”Tide”. It was a water-based skill that allowed its user to draw power from the surrounding water itself and so amplify their own powers.

Although it did not sound particularly special, Tide's amplified power was nothing to be sniffy about.

After he drank the exclusive geno solution for Tide, Han Sen returned to the shelter and drove the Crystal Palace into the sea so he could practice his new ability.

Han Sen spent most of his time practicing Tide, but for the Dongxuan Sutra, he decided to only practice one cycle each day. That practice itself only took two minutes.

This wasn't because Han Sen did not want to continue - it was because after one cycle, his body was already filled to the brim with power. Practicing further would not deliver any more benefits.

Han Sen guessed it was because his body had not yet reached the status of a Celestial Being. There was a limit to how much his body could take.

There was a further natural benefit from Han Sen practicing Tide. Ordinary evolvers could not breathe underwater, which made it impossible for them to dive and explore the deep sea. Their inability to breathe underwater was an extreme handicap for any of their sea-bound ventures.

But now Han Sen was free to explore and practice within the deep sea as much as he wanted. He was not unlike a yaksha, forming ripples and waves across the sea. His swimming speed had increased a great deal, and he could have been mistaken for a creature that had been born and lived in the sea all its life.

”Not bad. Not bad. Although I can't yet perform my skills and abilities as well as I do on land, 80% of my power now translates to my talents in the water. I will be able to battle sacred-blood creatures now.” Han Sen was tremendously excited about his rising powers.

The rate at which Han Sen could learn and effectively utilize Tide was exponentially faster than he had predicted. He wasn't sure if it was because he had learnt the Dongxuan Sutra, but whenever he was in the water now, he felt no resistance. He was like a water fairy.

”I need to find a sacred-blood creature out in the sea, so I can test my abilities on it.” Han Sen's exhilaration was unbridled. Recently, he has taken to eating the flesh of various mutant creatures, which led to his mutant geno points increasing a good deal, but his sacred geno points had been at a stand-still.

Han Sen drove the Crystal Palace deep underwater in the hopes of finding a solo sacred-blood creature. He would also have to find one with a head that wasn't too large, otherwise he would not be able to eat it.

”Why do the creatures beneath the sea have such big heads?” Han Sen caught sight of a sea monster that looked not unlike a dragon, with a body that was over a hundred meters long. It swam dangerously close past the Crystal Palace, which made Han Sen gulp.

The views one could observe down in the deep sea were astoundingly beautiful, fascinating and otherworldly. A large band of sea bugs now caught Han Sen's attention, and they shone purple as they winded their course across the seabed.

”What are these little creatures?” Han Sen watched the football-sized sea bugs through the windows of the Crystal Palace with great curiosity.

They rather resembled sea urchins. They had circular bodies that had numerous thorny spikes which emitted light. It was quite beautiful to see them shining so.
