Although Yanlin was very dissatisfied with Ariel's skills, Gu Xi found it quite amusing.
Especially considering it's a sea beast, it possesses the ability to fly and even control its direction within a small range, which is unique among sea beasts.
After further investigation, Gu Xi learned that Ariel's bubbles could be up to three times her own size. In combat, this skill was practically useless as a support ability.
Additionally, Ariel has a skill called "Invigorating Sound Range." Since this is an area-of-effect skill, and Ariel has always been alone with her sea monster, she doesn't know its effects.
Upon hearing the name, Gu Xi knew it was a support skill. Since Ariel herself didn't know what it did, she might as well give it a try.
Gu Xi looked at Ariel and said, "Now is the perfect time. Let's test your skills."
The other fish nodded in agreement.
With encouragement from Gu Xi and Little Fatty, Ariel finally mustered the courage to showcase her exhilarating vocal range.
Ariel brought everyone together, and it stood behind them.
It looked at everyone somewhat nervously, "Then I'm going to begin."
Everyone nodded, focusing their attention to feel the changes to come.
Ariel took a deep breath and then began to sing.
Golden light suddenly emanated from its body, spreading rapidly outwards like rays of light, forming an ever-expanding golden halo that encircled Gu Xi and the fish.
A stirring melody came from Ariel, like a fusion of horn sounds and melodious singing. The sound was full of power, striking the heart and making both people and fish feel excited.
"What is this?" Gu Xi felt the changes in his body, but apart from feeling invigorated, he hadn't noticed anything else yet.
"Whoosh! Let me unleash my skill!" With that, Flame Scale stood in the circle of light and released flames with his mental power.
It was aware of the power of its flames and dared not unleash them too much.
But the flame, which was the size of a bean, was released and instantly grew to the size of a fist.
Surprisingly, Flamescale didn't mock Ariel's skill as before. Instead, he changed his attitude and awkwardly praised, "Pfft~ This skill is not bad~"
Ariel's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
"Pfft~ But you don't have any attack skills, so you're not very useful~ Don't worry, from now on you'll stay behind me, I'll protect you!"
Ais glanced at Yanlin silently, then looked away.
The first skill effect of the Invigorating Sound Domain is now quite obvious: it increases attack power. Excluding Ais, this skill is extremely powerful in group battles.
Are there any other effects? Gu Xi wondered.
She looked at Flame Scale, her eyes filled with curiosity, and asked, "Flame Scale, besides the flames getting bigger, do you feel anything else? For example, do you feel it's easier to release the flames?"
Yanlin tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Pfft~ I didn't pay much attention just now, but now that I think about it, it seems that I consumed less mental energy when releasing flames."
After saying that, Yanlin's eyes lit up, and he looked eager to try it out. "I'll try setting off a bigger flame to confirm it."
Gu Xi quickly reached out to stop Yan Lin, "Wait, it might be dangerous if you set the flames too high. What if you burn the ship? Let me do it."
Flame Scale nodded with some regret.
Gu Xi stood still, released his mental energy, and unleashed a mental attack after a long absence.
After releasing the skill, she checked her mental state and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"It's true, within this skill's range, the mental energy I consume with my skills is significantly reduced. It seems that this Invigorating Sound Range not only increases attack power but also reduces the mental energy consumption when casting skills!"
The fish looked at each other, puzzled. They could sense Gu Xi's mental fluctuations, but what about his skills?
"Pfft! What's your skill? I didn't see anything!!"
