Ocean Master

Chapter 119 - New Skill- Vibrational Search.

"Sebastian".

"…"

"Sebastian!"

"Oh, yes, sorry, I got distracted after remembering something". Sebastian answered, feeling the urge to cough to diffuse the awkward atmosphere only to remember that he was now a shark.

Well, he could simulate it with his sound control skill but he didn't find the need to go put so much effort to go through all those.

"Is everything alright?" The nanny shark asked softly, showing her side again which made Sebastian adjectivize her as a nanny.

"I'm alright". Sebastian revealed a sharky smile before asking shamelessly. "I just remembered that I didn't know your name, please can I know your name?" 

"Oh, you can call me Phase".

"Ok, senior Phase. I want to leave but I just remembered another thing. I'm a sound domain magician, the elder, Dangle is also a sound domain magician, a senior to me in the field".

"I don't know if you know this term but I'm her fan already, please can you tell me more about her?"

"Ok". Phase suspected nothing; she revealed every information that she could about the only female elder of the clan to the young shark.

About the figures that she tabulated about the shark, she also didn't believe them but it was not in her position to question the elder's abilities. She simply wrote what the machine provided.

As she spoke to Sebastian, at times she couldn't help but direct a strange look at him which the shark failed to notice.

It took her about 2 minutes before she finished talking. And by that time, Sebastian was already completely satisfied.

He thanked her one last time before turning to leave.

…

"Holy Moly! System, how can you be so OP?" 

Sebastian exclaimed inwardly to himself as soon as he left the veteran chamber, unable to hold in his excitement about the latest notification revealed by his system.

When he learned from Phase that one of the elders was a sound domain magician, he only paid a little more attention to it, he did not expect that there would be so many benefits to meeting another sound domain magician.

He was shocked, and so also was he excited by the notification. 

The more he grew in strength, the more time it took for him to evolve and grow stronger again. Though he had his system store to purchase skills and adaptations, its flexibility left much to be appreciated.

He already started worrying about the fact that he only got access to a myriad of skills and adaptations during evolutions, he did not expect this sudden twist at all. Right now, if possible, he wanted to hug his system.

Though he didn't pay attention to it before, right now, he already resolved his mind to hover close to the elder as frequently as possible.

Other sharks were mere family members to him, but this female elder was now his mobile store to access skills.

Without hesitation, he gave his consent to buy the skill.

[1820 Skill points have been deducted from you.]

[You have purchased the sound domain magic skill: Vibrational Search.]

Apparently, when activated on contact with another predator, this skill would allow him to see the internal structure of predators through vibrations. 

He had to admit that this skill was OP for anatomy, he felt thrilled. On the spot, ideas rapidly started forming in his mind which was his most OP trait that gave him the nickname of the crazy dissector.

To know more and form more ideas about the skill, he needed to use it in contact with another predator to gather useful research data.

About his skill points, all he could say was that with his growth speed, he was slowly on a part to being a skillionaire and adaptationiare.

Compared to the beginning of his journey when 5 bonus skill points from the system felt like the whole world to him, he could now pull-out thousands of points without batting an eyelid.

Another fact that left him in awe was the number of purple tier powerhouses in this shark clan. Slowly, the advantages of a high-tier bloodline that Leroy once explained to him were becoming apparent to him.

Even with how mighty the Mammoth Crocodile family that he clashed with was, it only had 3 purple tier powerhouses which spoke volumes about the strength of the family and the advantage of bloodlines.

Even the Draconic Lizard family had only the Lizard Lord as their purple tier powerhouse, the others were orange and white tier predators.

He felt glad though, he was glad because this meant that he just got affiliated with a powerful shark family with even more ridiculous potential in the form of Tungsten, Verni, and now him. Teeth was a lost cause.

Clearing his brain of all distractions, he finally got ready to go back to the expansive segment of the cave which was like the sitting room of the clan.

He would have loved to interact with other sharks alongside familiar faces like Verni or Tungsten, but welp, a beggar was not a chooser. He would have to do with what he had.

Without hesitation, he activated his triple reverse swim skill and swam away.

…

Inside one of the special chambers segmented in the cave, a huge Great White Shark swam in amid respectful glances from all the other sharks around it.

This enormous shark was the only female of the 3 Great elders of the clan, Dangle. At this moment, this shark elder was experiencing a feeling that she experienced last years ago, the strange feeling of self-doubt.

After the tabulated data was presented, neither Marble nor herself said a word despite the ridiculous figures nor did Shine tell them to redo the evaluation due to the respect that he had for them.

Despite this, the elder shark couldn't help but admit that the figures were ridiculous. For years, she already mastered the vibrational search skill and it was virtually impossible for her to make a mistake so what went wrong?

As soon as she entered her chambers, she gave an order to her student.

"Shackle, bring a shark and place him on a platform".

"Yes, master". 

Already guessing what her master was about to do, the shark did not waste time. In seconds, a shark was brought and was placed on a platform.

After everything was set, the elder went closer and activated her skill. The machine counted while her student tabulated. When she was done, she checked the result and it correlated with what she got for the same shark years ago.

Now, she was even more shocked. "Is he really just 3 months old?"
