After Duke crawled up to the shore, he didn't put on the robe from his Space Ring, walking along the sandy beach bare-chested, wearing only shorts. He glanced at the Skill Tree; the proficiency in Underwater Breathing had increased significantly. But now there were already many skills on the Skill Tree, a bunch of skills waiting for him to grind the proficiency up. [Deep Blue Tide Meditation Technique: Level two (six hundred seventy-eight/one thousand five hundred)] [Wizard's Mark: Level two (one hundred seventy-eight over three hundred)] [Water Arrow Technique: Level one (eighty-one over one hundred)] [Water Shield Technique: Level one (seventy-five over one hundred)] [Underwater Breathing: Level one (four hundred twenty-one over five hundred)] Looking at this string of skills, Duke didn't plan to learn any other magic in the short term. Just these spells were going to take him a lot of time to grind proficiency, and learning new spells would leave him without the time and energy to improve. Duke found that today's underwater training was quite effective. The sea was a very good environment for him, almost equivalent to an alternative cultivation room. He just needed to be cautious, not to stray too far from the shore, in case he encountered some sea monsters. Duke did not know which region of the sea Black Sail was located, but he could be sure that it was definitely located in the vast ocean. There were definitely some boundary lines around, where Witch Arrays were set, making it difficult for outsiders to enter, and for insiders to row out using ordinary boats. Trying to swim out from the bottom of the sea within Black Sail's range was even more impossible; there were likely terrifying giant creatures guarding the boundary areas. Duke walked back to the dormitory bare-chested, with water stains on his body, the sunlight spilling down, making the muscles on his body glitter. His physique was much better than most Wizard Apprentices, and his stamina hadn't been greatly exhausted despite staying in the sea for so long. It was just that there was little Magic Power left, so to avoid some possible dangers, he didn't continue staying there. With Duke's physique, he could dive very deep into the sea, which was also his advantage. Additionally, with the aid of Fighting Spirit, his physique surpassed that of ordinary Wizard Apprentices. Most Wizard Apprentices on Academy Island had not practiced Breathing Techniques, nor did they possess the physique of a Great Knight. If these Wizard Apprentices exhausted their Magic Power and Spiritual Power, Duke could crush them as easily as he would a chick just with physical strength. However, Wizards generally wouldn't let themselves fall into such dire straits, often carrying some supplies for contingencies. Magic Stones had such a function; Wizards could absorb the energy from Magic Stones to quickly replenish Magic Power and recover. It's just that this method was too extravagant, and generally not used. When Duke got back to the dormitory area, he didn't expect Hanna to also just return, carrying some things in her hands. He took a closer look: they were two pairs of brand-new black stockings, styled a bit differently, seemingly lace-edged, and one pair seemed to have an opening. When Hanna saw Duke, her eyes lit up, drawn by Duke's perfect muscle lines. Duke's physique was enhanced by the Skill Tree, nearly reaching the limit of human aesthetics, perfectly balanced and very healthy. After exchanging greetings, they only chatted briefly before heading upstairs, Duke sensed Hanna was constantly looking at him. When they reached the door, Hanna suddenly said, "Duke, I've bought two new pairs of stockings and want to try them on. Can you come in and see how they look?"
