"Additionally, from the description by the White Seagull, it seems that these sea beasts are being controlled by someone."
"Hmm? Someone is controlling them?" Rein couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The combination of large sea beasts and humans, their combat power is definitely off the charts.
At that moment, an albatross with a wingspan of several meters flew in quickly from a distance. Upon seeing Vinica, it immediately began to circle and descend.
Rein had seen this albatross before, it was a pet of a member of the Fish-Dragon Squad.
Soon, more detailed intelligence came from the albatross.
"Lord Rein, communication from the Fish-Dragon Squad, they have been intercepted by a special combat squad from the Eagle Federation."
"Captain Baron, asks us to immediately organize the evacuation of the people in Fishing Port Town, they won't be able to hold out for long."
"The Eagle Federation?" Rein couldn't help but be greatly surprised.
After all, this place is imperial territory. Could it be that the Eagle Federation intends to start a war with the Empire?"
"Yes, Lord Rein, we...." The twin-tailed girl's pretty face was both worried and excited.
After thinking for a moment, Rein turned his head and smiled at the twin-tailed girl, saying, "Miss Vinica, are you scared?"
"Of course not! I feel very safe with Lord Rein."
As she spoke these words, the girl's eyes sparkled.
"Then let's set off! Have White Seagull contact Major Mary and let them start organizing the evacuation first."
"As for the Eagle Federation's special combat squad, I am very interested."
"Yes!" Seeing that Rein still planned to proceed, the twin-tailed girl couldn't help but clench her fists excitedly, her face glowing with excitement.
Rein glanced at the girl and couldn't help but smile.
Vinica gave him the impression of those cute yet playful gamer girls from his past life, big addiction but not much skill.
Taking such people along for ranking up was quite difficult.
After thinking a bit, Rein focused his attention on the system panel.
Since he had to face a possible powerful enemy, there was no need to save his two Skill Points.
Huge sea beasts, huh?
In that case, it would not be wise to allocate points to Kadar Martial Arts; facing these massive or even gargantuan sea beasts, dual-handed weapons were necessary to deliver sufficiently powerful strikes.
After a moment's thought, Rein decided to allocate points to the Tokkal Hammer Technique.
Although the Giant Bear Sword Technique now had the boost of the Legendary Weapon Master's exclusive talent "Elementary Weapon Mastery (Passive)", making it slightly more powerful,
Compared to that, with the "Hammer Specialization lv3" enhancement, the Tokkal Hammer Technique was still his most powerful Extraordinary Battle Technique.
Thus, as the remaining Skill Points decreased from 2 to 1, the Tokkal Hammer Technique advanced from lv10 to lv11.
Instantly, a torrent of hammer technique training memories flooded into Rein's mind.
After absorbing and digesting these memories, they gradually integrated into his muscles, creating muscle memory.
However, Rein had a feeling that this allocation was a bit different from before.
Vaguely, his mastery over the hammer technique seemed to have punctured through a barrier; he had a different insight into the Tokkal Hammer Technique.
Especially concerning the original secret technique "Rising Dragon Hammer", its integration with his primal force had become even tighter.
As Rein was just coming to his senses, two system notifications suddenly appeared:
[Congratulations, your Tokkal Hammer Technique's exclusive secret technique 'Rising Dragon Hammer' has been promoted to the quasi-secret technique 'Rising Dragon Hammer!']
[After the promotion to quasi-secret technique, do you wish to change the skill name?]
Quasi-secret technique?
Immediately, the surprised and delighted Rein noticed some slight changes in the icon for 'Rising Dragon Hammer' originally placed above 'Tokkal Hammer Technique' on the Legendary Weapon Master panel.
The icon depicted a burly man twisting his body, swinging a two-handed sledgehammer from bottom to top; now, he appeared more formidable and robust, with some kind of airflow-like ripples appearing on both sides of the hammer, making it look exceedingly crafted and robust.
Beneath the icon, there was a line of small text:
Rising Dragon Hammer (Quasi-Secret Technique) Effect: Combines primal force with a special method of exertion to swing the sledgehammer from bottom to top, delivering a strike that integrates primal force with rotational force.
(Note: The quasi-secret technique cannot be directly enhanced by Skill Points.)
(Note: The power of the quasi-secret technique directly correlates with the following: one, the Tokkal Hammer Technique skill level; two, primal force value; three, Hammer Specialization level; four, Strength value.)
Regarding the renaming, Rein thought about it and chose no.
Merely a quasi-secret technique, there was no need yet for a high-sounding name; besides, 'Rising Dragon Hammer' sounded quite pleasant to the ear, so he decided not to bother renaming it for now.
Obviously, since the secret technique was promoted to a quasi-secret technique, its power had inevitably been enhanced.
As for the extent of the enhancement, that still had to be tested to be known.
Additionally, Rein looked thoughtfully at the second note, 'The power of the quasi-secret technique directly correlates with the following: one, the Tokkal Hammer Technique skill level...'
Since further enhancing the power was possible, he still had one Skill Point left, so he might as well use it now!
After all, his Hammer Skills weren't limited to just one technique....
Soon, Rein made up his mind.
As the remaining Skill Points reduced from 1 to 0, the Tokkal Hammer Technique advanced from lv11 to lv12.
Instantly, another torrent of hammer technique training memories surged into Rein's mind.
After Rein came to his senses, two more system notifications also quietly arrived:
[Congratulations, your Tokkal Hammer Technique's exclusive secret technique 'Earth-splitting Hammer' has been promoted to the quasi-secret technique 'Earth-splitting Hammer!']
[After the promotion to quasi-secret technique, do you wish to change the skill name?]
Indeed, Rein saw on the Legendary Weapon Master panel that the icon for 'Earth-splitting Hammer', originally placed above 'Tokkal Hammer Technique', had undergone some slight changes.
