Chapter 115 Shielded Barnacles, Breathing Techniques Show Their Power
Lin Wei used his breathing technique to tighten his muscles and slowly pulled the thin thread up. His hands gripped the thread tightly, and the muscles in his arms bulged.
"What is this?" Lin Wei frowned, looking at the thing that was being pulled up.
A sea creature the size of a millstone was pulled aboard and lay motionless on the deck, as if dead. Its shell was grayish-black, covered with rock-like grooves, and looked unusually heavy.
Information has appeared in the gray areas of the Rubik's Cube.
【Name】Shielded Barnacle Shell
[Brief Description] A large, barnacle-like mollusk with a very faint earthworm bloodline, making its shell exceptionally strong and wear-resistant. The grayish-black shell is covered with rock-like grooves and is extremely heavy. It adheres tightly to reefs or shipwrecks. It remains almost motionless, clinging to hard objects for its entire life. The shell is extremely difficult to damage. It has sensory barbels at the shell opening, which immediately close when danger is detected.

"A shield-armored barnacle? So it's a barnacle, it's huge!" Lin Wei said with a sudden realization, stroking his chin. "But this shield-armored shell has taught me quite a bit."
I never saw it in person on Earth in my previous life; I only saw it in videos.
"But how am I supposed to attack?"
Lin Wei looked at the armored barnacle that was lying motionless on the deck and swung his claw at it. His claw was incredibly sharp and carried a strong gust of wind.
boom!
A dull thud rang out, but the armored barnacle remained motionless. Lin Wei's fingers were a little sore; his nails were fine, but he clearly couldn't keep going like that. He shook his hand, looking helpless.
"No way, this is too unfair. Its defense is even higher than my normal attack." Lin Wei was speechless, frowning as he paced back and forth on the deck.
"How about trying a different form?"
Lin Wei transformed into a mantis, his body instantly changing, sprouting sharp, scythe-like arms. He roared and slashed down with his blade.
Clang!
On the deck, metal collided with the shell of a barnacle, producing a dull thud. Nothing happened, but the barnacle immediately snapped shut. It sensed that this wizard apprentice was different from any it had encountered before; he didn't use magic, and the clanging sounds were rather eerie. The surrounding sea breeze howled, making the sails flutter, and the waves gently lapped against the hull.
Clang!
Lin Wei frowned, his face showing impatience, and swung his weapon again.
Clang!
After several more slashes, Lin Wei's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and his arm was starting to ache. He felt his knife was getting dull, and it wasn't having much effect. He stopped, shook his numb arm, and muttered, "What is this thing? It's so hard."
"Damn, so much knowledge, it's not easy to kill people, you have to kill them to absorb it." Lin Wei scratched his head helplessly, his eyes revealing a bit of irritation, and immediately began to use the newly learned water cannon technique. This was his ultimate move, and he didn't use it lightly. He gripped his wand tightly with both hands, quickly chanting the spell, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly.
After chanting, Lin Wei aimed the tip of his wand directly at the front of the armored barnacle, its magical power already unleashed. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Go, smash its shell!" A water cannon shot out from the wand.
boom!
The water cannon blasted against the surface of the armored barnacles, creating a stream of water that appeared out of thin air on the deck. The water swirled around the barnacles, splashing everywhere and wetting Lin Wei's trousers. The stream only subsided when its energy was depleted.
The armored barnacle rolled over, and apart from being wet, it looked no different from before.
It is extremely insulting.
"It's no use? Kid, you're invincible. You can withstand more than me." Lin Wei's eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and he didn't know what to say for a moment, his face full of disbelief.
"I think I learned about this in class. If you encounter it, just pretend you didn't catch any sea creatures and throw it back into the sea." Lin Wei remembered, slapped his thigh in frustration, and said with a frown, "But there are enough knowledge points given, I don't want to give up. Besides, this thing has the bloodline of an earth dragon, and there are many benefits to extracting it. It's a treasure from head to toe." At this moment, the waves on the sea surface rose and fell, and the sound of the waves grew louder and louder.
Of course, this information was only known to Lin Wei; even the wizards didn't know it.
"Try breaking through from the inside." The female ghost Kardashian slowly floated out, arms crossed, legs crossed, watching the show with a mocking smile. "I've never tasted the brain of this kind of creature before, so you'd better take care of it."
From the inside?
Lin Wei pondered for a moment, his gaze hardening. He immediately enveloped himself in the Yellow Rose Breathing Technique, forming hand seals, pointing at the shield-like barnacles, and gradually closing his eyes, his hands emitting a yellow glow. The surrounding sea breeze seemed to subside, and the ship became much more stable.
A few minutes later.
"I sensed it. There are quite a few plant seeds inside." Lin Wei grinned, excitement flashing in his eyes, and whispered, "Grow them!"
The armored barnacle was almost asleep, unaware of what the wizard apprentices outside were trying to do by surrounding it for so long, but soon its body began to itch.
Beside it, colorful marine plants began to grow wildly, appearing almost alive in a bizarre way. Some of these plants intertwined, while others collided with each other, making rustling sounds.
One centimeter...ten centimeters...twenty centimeters.
Some of these plants had barbs, while others were highly poisonous, and they all kept crowding towards the soft body of the barnacle. On the sea, the calls of seabirds gradually faded away, as if frightened by this eerie scene.
Before long, the barnacles were overwhelmed. Their defenses were too weak to withstand the onslaught of hundreds of plants.
Click!
The barnacle shell opened up, revealing two palm-sized sections of its body, ready to be slaughtered.
"I never thought I'd be able to use my advanced control and plant-based breathing techniques in the wizarding world one day." Lin Wei was overjoyed, his face beaming with delight. He raised his knife and severed the armored barnacle, ending its sinful life.
[Take in 10 key points]
[Consumed 10 knowledge points]
[Converted to 10 element factors]
Lin Wei touched the barnacle's corpse and quickly converted the knowledge he had gained. As he worked, he muttered to himself, "This good stuff can't be wasted."
"Ten elemental factors are equivalent to a year of hard training for others. No matter how long a wizard's lifespan is, they still need to spend countless hours just meditating to strengthen their brain." Lin Wei grinned, his face full of pride. "But I don't need them. These barnacle shells that other wizard apprentices can't use are like treasures to me."
