I Can Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 257

Asou Nishiko continued to translate, “The head on the left thinks that it should kill you, and then search in a range of at least 1,000 kilometers to try to find other sacrificial spirits.”

“The head on the right said that the world here is too barren and doesn’t think there’s any reason to continue staying here since it’s impossible for a large number of sacrificial spirits to exist here.”

…

“The head on the left feels that since its staff was broken by you, it doesn’t want to leave without breaking the sword in your hand.”

“The head on the right reminds the head on the left that your reinforcements are approaching from afar.”

As they spoke, the barbarian sorcerer suddenly stepped into the space-travel passageway and disappeared from their sight.

Asou Nishiko’s translation ended there. Chen Yiming glanced at the space-travel passage. The space-time rift above it did not show any signs of disturbance.

This meant that the battle at the master realm was far from being able to affect space.

A few minutes later, a group of armed men crossed the mountains and arrived at the volcano.

There were 15 of them in total, 14 men and one woman.

…

The men had the aura of soldiers and had serious expressions on their faces. They did not say a single word, and none of them seemed weak. One of them had even mastered the transformation of internal force.

Chen Yiming knew the woman. She was Liu Sujuan, the liaison officer assigned to him by the security bureau.

At this moment, Liu Sujuan had a tired expression, and there were bits of sand in her face and hair. It was a little difficult for someone at the disciple realm like her to travel from the Daxia Kingdom to Japan.

“Consultant Chen, your sect master is seriously injured.”

Liu Sujuan’s first words were bad news.

“What exactly is the situation?” Chen Yiming frowned and asked.

“The stronghold of Jiangnan province in the otherworld was ambushed. In order to protect the stronghold, the sect master of the Myriad Phenomena Sect was almost killed in an one-against-three battle with the creatures from the otherworld,” Liu Sujuan stammered as she explained.

Chen Yiming’s expression froze when he heard this.

Initially, he had planned to go after the sacrificial spirit at the master realm that the Japanese royal family had obtained. However, as a member of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, he could not stand by and do nothing in this situation.

Liu Sujuan stole a glance at the surrounding terrain.

As far as the eye could see, the volcano had already been completely destroyed, turning into a small lake of lava. Bubbles were constantly emerging from it, and streams of smoke were rising into the sky.

The ground seemed to have been plowed over again and again, with steaming trenches extending into the distance.

Previously, the group had watched from afar. Thinking back on the battle that was at the level of a natural disaster, they still felt a lingering fear. It was impossible for them to have survived on the battlefield.

If not for the fact that she was afraid that Chen Yiming would leave again and she would not be able to find him, she would have watched from afar until the battle had ended.

Liu Sujuan stole another glance at Chen Yiming.

What was in this body?

So strong! So powerful!

Unfortunately, she did not dare to go up to him and prod at it.

When she thought of the conversation between Bureau Chief Xie and herself, her face couldn’t help but turn even redder.

…

In the Myriad Phenomena Sect, after receiving the news that Chen Yiming was returning to the mountain, the originally sorrowful atmosphere dissipated. Everyone, from the disciples to the court heads, regained their smiles.

With Chen Yiming’s reputation in Japan, the Myriad Phenomena Sect had suddenly become like a temple. Other than the position of sect master, there was no other position that was worthy of Chen Yiming’s strength.

In the courtyard, Chen Yiming’s former roommates, Qian Bingnan, Dai Yuanhang, and Bai Hengliang, sat around a stone table and chatted.

“Sigh, I went down the mountain to participate in the beast tide battle last time. After I returned, I wanted to find an opportunity to ask for guidance…”

Qian Bingnan suddenly didn’t look like himself anymore. Back then, he was a martial arts fanatic. Whether he could win was a separate matter. At the very least, he would still have the courage to fight with his opponent.

“With your lousy martial arts skills, Chen Yiming can defeat you with just a single breath.”

Dai Yuanhang rolled his eyes.

Yesterday, there was suddenly a rumor that a third martial master had appeared in the Daxia Kingdom.

Although the name was not revealed, a large number of clues pointed to the Osaka region in Japan.

The battle between Chen Yiming and the barbarian sorcerer had not only attracted the attention of Japan and the Daxia Kingdom, but also the various large countries on the blue planet.

Some videos and pictures were also circulated. Because they were taken from too far away and were disturbed by the aftermath of the battle, they could only capture the general situation. However, even so, it still shocked the higher-ups of the various countries.

It had to be known that even Western Australia, a country that was equivalent to three-quarters of the Daxia Kingdom, had not nurtured a single martial master after so many years.

This was especially true for the Sam Nation. All kinds of meetings on this matter had been going on all this while.

Originally, as the two pillars on the blue planet, each country had two martial masters. However, the balance was now broken.

“Xiaojing wants to get back together with me. What should I do?”

Bai Hengliang suddenly said something that broke the serious atmosphere.

When Qian Bingnan and Dai Yuanhang heard this, they almost choked.

The three of them had only been roommates with Chen Yiming for a short period of time, but they also shared in his glory.

Xiao Jing was the female disciple who had previously friendzoned Bai Hengliang.

…

At the airport in Jiangnan City, Chen Yiming walked down the stairs from the plane and saw that the airport had been cordoned off.

The three big shots of Jiangnan City, the chief of the security bureau, Xie Jimin, and the leaders of the various important departments were all waiting.

Back then, when he went to Japan, it was still deserted. When he returned, he was just missing a red carpet. The difference in treatment was due to the battle between Chen Yiming and the barbarian sorcerer.

After exchanging some pleasantries with the leaders of Jiangnan City, Chen Yiming got into a car that drove towards the city center. A banquet had already been prepared at a large hotel in the city.

Along the way, Chen Yiming realized through the car window that the atmosphere was much more relaxed than when he had left. People were coming and going on the streets, and the restaurants were filled with customers.

As one of the two pillars of the blue planet, it was impossible for the Daxia Kingdom to not have any countermeasures against the mutant creatures that had appeared from the space-travel passage in Western Australia.

Or perhaps it was because he had returned to Jiangnan province, which allowed the leaders to heave a sigh of relief. Even the police who were maintaining order on the streets were gone, and there was no need for restrictions to prevent people from hoarding supplies.

Soon, the convoy arrived at a hotel by the river.

On both sides of the hotel entrance, many long-legged female receptionists stood in a line.

Chen Yiming didn’t want to waste too much time on these meaningless matters, so he entered the main hall directly.

…

At the banquet, other than the higher ups of Jiangnan City, a large number of higher ups from the large factions in Jiangnan province were also present. As soon as the banquet started, they greeted Chen Yiming one by one.

Chen Yiming showed his face briefly and was about to leave when he was stopped by Xie Weilin.

She was wearing a low-cut beige gown and had put on some professional-looking makeup. Below the gown, her long and fair legs were revealed, and she was wearing a pair of crystalline high heels.

“Long time no see,” Xie Weilin greeted him shamelessly.

“You really screwed me over,” Chen Yiming said helplessly.

As he spoke, he glanced down from above and realized that it was not padded, but the real thing.

“There’s no such thing.”

Xie Weilin pouted and refused to admit it.

She still had a mission to complete, and the burden on her was even heavier than a mountain. If she admitted it, there would be no room for negotiation.

“Are you trying to trick me again?”

Chen Yiming could tell that something was amiss from her expression.

The contribution points he had earned from helping the security bureau were nothing to Chen Yiming. Only the specific cultivation techniques of the master realm could catch his eye.

The three big shots of Jiangnan City might have some understanding of how to break through to the master realm, but they might not know the exact method.

“Haha! How can that be?”

Xie Weilin forced out an awkward smile.

“I’m tired from the flight. I’ll go back first and rest for a while.”

Chen Yiming nodded. He knew that nothing good could come out of it, so he took the opportunity to escape.

However, something soft bumped into his arm. He was afraid that the other party would be injured, so he had to stop.

“Wait a minute… I’m about to take part in the project to construct a base city at the space-travel passage. Can’t we have a good chat?” Xie Weilin held onto Chen Yiming’s arm and said anxiously.

???

Chen Yiming frowned. What a lousy excuse.

Are we that close? Besides, as an officer, isn’t this part of your job? Instead, you came to attend the banquet. That’s not your job.

She was dressed in a low-cut gown. Those who did not know her would think that she was a celebrity or a socialite.

“The stronghold in the otherworld is being attacked from time to time. I wonder when an otherworld creature will rush out. Can you teach me some combat techniques?”

Xie Weilin’s body was very close to Chen Yiming’s. She was just short of hugging him.

“Combat techniques?”

Chen Yiming had always used his own strength to suppress others, so he didn’t know any tricks. He knew how to break through and was quite proficient in it.

It was obvious that it was not Xie Weilin who was looking for him, but the higher-ups of Jiangnan province who were looking for him. It was just that the two of them had gotten into a conflict some time ago, and he could not let go of his pride.

“I’ve made some progress in my cultivation recently. I’m preparing to return to the mountain and enter seclusion for a while. Let’s talk when I have time,” he refused righteously.

Although Chen Yiming would definitely help if something really happened in the otherworld, he didn’t want to get too involved. His personal cultivation was the most important. Otherwise, he would have to be stationed there for a long time.

“It’s alright. If there’s a problem, I can look for you at your sect.”

Xie Weilin smiled.

“…”

Chen Yiming understood her meaning.

Why did the construction of the base city start as soon as the stronghold was attacked? Logically speaking, this was not the right time.

Xie Weilin did not come to discuss it with him, but to pass on the news.

Even if he didn’t get involved directly, he still had to assist with the project.

At the thought of this, the feeling of having taken advantage of Xie Weilin earlier suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, Xie Weilin let go of Chen Yiming’s arm. For some reason, her face had suddenly turned red.

Chen Yiming sized her up from head to toe.

Compared to Liu Sujuan, this woman was not sincere enough. She would let go of him right after using him. There was still a long way to go, and he would not lose out for nothing.

After that, Xie Weilin no longer held him back.

Chen Yiming successfully left the banquet.

…

After returning to the Myriad Phenomena Sect, Chen Yiming made a trip back to East Lake City.

He traveled alone. He first went home to have dinner with his family, then asked Wang Bowen out. The two of them casually walked along a street.

Under the night sky, they passed by many other pedestrians. Chen Yiming released his illusionary internal force to prevent anyone from recognizing him.

“I’ve already successfully broken through to the warrior realm, but the gap between us has not decreased. Instead, it has grown even larger.”

Wang Bowen sighed.

As Chen Yiming’s senior brother who had enlightened him on his martial arts path when he was just starting out, Chen Yiming wouldn’t be stingy with him. After leading the team to clear out the beast tide, he had left Wang Bowen with many good things.

Wang Bowen had also joined the company to help Chen Yiming manage his subordinates.

“We don’t need to be concerned with such things. East Lake City has changed a lot recently. I don’t even recognize it,” Chen Yiming said.

“That’s all thanks to you. Ever since you helped out that time, the people from the surrounding cities like Nightwater City, Cloud Port City, and even further away have moved to East Lake City.”

After Wang Bowen finished speaking, he pointed at a shop by the roadside.

The name of the shop was: Shu An Moving Company.

Recently, a large number of such moving companies had appeared in East Lake City, and business was booming due to the numerous people moving over from the surrounding cities.

It was not only the ordinary people, but the martial arts practitioners in East Lake City and the surrounding cities also saw the change in the situation.

There were also many external martial arts schools and martial arts clans that had entered East Lake City. They intended to first set up a foothold here and gradually shift their forces over.

“This is equivalent to giving back to my hometown.”

Chen Yiming nodded.

His influence was rapidly increasing, and the news that he had the combat power at the master realm had yet to spread to the ordinary people.

From now on, East Lake City would continue to obtain an unimaginable amount of development opportunities. It could grow from a small to medium-sized city in a region, to a large city at the provincial level, to a central city in a country.

There was no limit to these opportunities, and it could exceed the expectations of the common people.

Wherever Chen Yiming placed the Chen clan’s influence, there was where one would find the best opportunities.

It could be said that the higher ups of East Lake City did not need to do anything. In the future, this place could also develop into the place that the entire Jiangnan province, then the entire Daxia Kingdom, and finally the place where everyone on the blue planet paid attention to.

“By the way, before you left, you told me to recruit a large number of warriors. Now that the company has recruited nine warriors, it’s about to break the double digits,” Wang Bowen said.

“It’s not enough. Take advantage of East Lake City’s population expansion and recruit as many as you can,” Chen Yiming thought for a moment and said.

“But… won’t we be taking too big a step?”

Wang Bowen voiced his concerns.

A person’s perspective determined the difficulty of the problem. When Chen Yiming first entered the school, Wang Bowen had been able to give the most appropriate suggestion.

However, to be precise, he wasn’t strong enough anymore. Without his relationship with Chen Yiming, he wouldn’t have been able to handle the nine warriors recruited by the company.

“These people are going to be sent to the otherworld.”

Chen Yiming didn’t elaborate.

With the space-travel passage as the core, the base city would start to be built around it. This meant that there was no way out for Jiangnan province’s stronghold in the otherworld.

Chen Yiming’s subordinates would have to participate in the developments in the otherworld. At this time, not to mention nine warriors, even 900 warriors would be at the level of cannon fodder.

Ordinary warriors in the otherworld were equivalent to the disciple realm on the blue planet. Their numbers could not affect the situation at all.

Even those at the warrior realm who had mastered the transformation of their internal force would only form the core of the combatants. Those who could change the situation were at least at the peak of the warrior realm.

Unknowingly, the two of them had arrived at the Mantis Snake Sword School.

The Mantis Snake Sword School had changed drastically in a short period of time. East Lake City had given away a large piece of land to it for free, causing the school’s territory to increase by 10 times.

Moreover, since the Mantis Snake Sword School had already become famous throughout East Lake City, there was no need to continue setting up branches in the four districts. Now, all the disciples were gathered in one place.

Through a huge piece of glass, the scene inside could be seen. Hundreds of ordinary disciples were practicing their swordsmanship seriously.

No one looked like they were slacking off. It was completely different from when Chen Yiming was practicing martial arts here.

“The entry requirements for the Mantis Snake Sword School have been changing every day recently. There’s even an elimination system. It’s difficult to stay in the school with poor talent even if you work hard,” Wang Bowen explained with a smile.

Chen Yiming was in a daze.

He was thinking that things were very different now. Previously, he had to hide his cultivation progress. Now, he was already standing at the peak of humanity in terms of martial arts prowess.

In the future, he would need to lead the way for the humans. Therefore, the opportunity to nurture a large number of bloodline warriors had arrived.

The advantage of being a bloodline warrior was that one could change their martial arts talent. It was very suitable for training a large number of people to form a warrior team.

In addition, he saw how some of the disciples in the Mantis Snake Sword School were gritting their teeth.

Chen Yiming sighed at the cruelty of the martial arts world. Why did that disciple have to put in all his effort? The main reason was because he wasn’t talented enough. If he didn’t work hard, he would be eliminated eventually.

With the comprehension from his Level-3 swordsmanship talent, he would soon be able to upgrade to the Level-4 swordsmanship talent. He would then be able to draw the concept diagrams for cultivation at the warrior realm, transformation of internal force, and fusion of internal forces.

To him, it would gradually be completely analyzed. At that time, he would create a set of cultivation techniques with very low requirements and ordinary combat power. He would also create a set of cultivation techniques that would allow one to fight those at a higher level. He could even create a corresponding cultivation technique for people with different amounts of talent.

This was not too difficult. As long as one was talented enough, it was possible.

At that time, with more powerful fighters, Chen Yiming would be able to explore the otherworld more and find clues to reach a higher level on the path of martial arts. It would be fine as long as he was in charge of the fighting.
