I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points-Chapter 193 - Monthly Assessment (I)

The moon was shining brightly, and the autumn wind was blowing.

In a courtyard of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, Dai Yuanhang and Bai Hengliang sat around the stone table, both of them a little distracted.

Time passed quickly. During the concept diagram cultivation assessment last month, Dai Yuanhang did not perform too well. His ranking among the inner sect disciples fell to the middle upper level.

Half of the month would soon be over, and the next assessment was not far away. Thinking back on what he had learned during this period of time, he could not feel any substantial improvement.

If his results at the next assessment remained the same or continued to fall, it clearly meant that the other inner sect disciples were improving faster than him. It also meant that he had entered a bottleneck in his cultivation and was starting to fall behind.

This was a huge blow to him, and he became a little frustrated.

Bai Hengliang, on the other hand, had been friendzoned by a junior sister from the outer sect he liked. This junior sister from the outer sect had gotten to know a true disciple from another inner court and no longer accepted his date invitations.

There was still a huge difference between an inner sect disciple and a true disciple.

The completion of the original concept diagram was generally around 60% for true disciples, and 30% for inner sect disciples.

The degree of completion represented the level of mastery of the concept diagram. Although 60% completion was still a distance away from mastering the transformation of internal force, it was more than enough to cultivate a secondary warrior realm technique.

At 30% completion, the upper limit was to cultivate a secondary technique of the warrior realm. At most, one could only chase after the tail of a true disciple.

Therefore, even if everyone was stuck at a bottleneck forever, true disciples would usually at least become the head of a martial arts school after leaving the mountain, while inner sect disciples would often become fighters under some faction.

The head managed a martial arts school on his own, while the fighter was only a member of a faction. The difference in status between the two was huge, and the future of a true disciple was naturally not something that inner sect disciples could compare to.

Dai Yuanhang suddenly closed the book on the stone table and glanced at the entrance of the courtyard. He said in a normal tone, “You said that Chen Yiming has been missing for a few days. Why isn’t he back yet?”

A few days ago, the two of them had discussed the fusion of their internal force. Chen Yiming had gained his approval, and at this moment, he urgently needed someone who shared the same interests as him to discuss the problems he had encountered in his cultivation.

Bai Hengliang, who was thinking about his junior sister’s smile, woke up from his daze. He frowned and replied, “It should be quite chaotic in East Sea province now. He should be returning with the team led by the court head.”

Not only was the sect master of a large sect in Jiangnan province assigned to a stronghold in the otherworld, but all the provinces in the entire Daxia Kingdom were in a similar situation. It was just that the timing was slightly different.

As a result, the Daxia Kingdom had temporarily lost the deterrence brought about by those at the peak of the warrior realm, causing the factions in the wilderness to become especially active.

They changed the topic.

“I heard rumors today that after the next assessment, a portion of the inner sect disciples will have to leave the mountain to carry out missions,”

Dai Yuanhang sighed and muttered to himself.

For a research-type disciple like him, what he was most afraid of was leaving the mountain of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

Bai Hengliang ignored him and fell into a daze again. To him, while personal cultivation was very important, so was his beautiful junior sister. After losing her, he needed some time to recover.

In the courtyard, Qian Bingnan, who was practicing his swordsmanship, stopped and shouted, “Dai Yuanhang, don’t be afraid. The sect master of the Kunshan Sect has died. This is a good opportunity to go down the mountain and earn points with your contributions.”

When Dai Yuanhang heard this, he rolled his eyes. “I can’t get along with someone like you who only cares about your muscles.”

Qian Bingnan did not think much of it and placed his hand on Dai Yuanhang’s shoulder. “Don’t panic. Even if you have to leave the mountain, don’t you still have me to protect you?”

Dai Yuanhang slapped Qian Bingnan’s sweaty hand away in disdain. “Forget it. It’s not certain who’s protecting who.”

Qian Bingnan’s previous assessment results were not as good as Dai Yuanhang’s. In other words, his control over his internal force was worse than Dai Yuanhang’s. Although actual combat was affected by many factors, in theory, Dai Yuanhang was indeed the stronger of the two.

At this moment, Chen Yiming returned to the Myriad Phenomena Sect. He pushed open the door and asked,

“I heard you guys talking about the assessment from afar. Could it be that those who did badly will be sent down the mountain?” 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

Chen Yiming was very interested in the assessment. He wasn’t really concerned about the results, but how far he should display his abilities.

Qian Bingnan’s face was filled with excitement as he took the initiative to say, “That’s right. The sect master of the Kunshan Sect died in an accident. This is a good opportunity to snatch their territory. When the time comes, we brothers will work together to earn points.”

“…”

Chen Yiming thought to himself,?“What I really wanted to ask about is the assessment.”

Seeing that Chen Yiming, who he could click well with, had returned, Dai Yuanhang relaxed a little. He said sternly, “Chen Yiming, don’t listen to Qian Bingnan’s nonsense. You’ve just entered the sect and are at the stage of rapid improvement. How could you be sent down the mountain?”

The books on the mountain were not something that the martial arts schools at the foot of the mountain could compare to. Generally, the disciples who just entered the sect would undergo a period of rapid improvement before their growth stabilized.

Chen Yiming smiled and said, “Then I’m relieved. I’m just a little worried about the assessment.”

The topic was brought back to what he wanted to hear about.

Dai Yuanhang waved his hand and said calmly, “Don’t worry. It’s not a big problem even if the results for your first assessment are not ideal. After that…”

“Then I’m relieved.” Chen Yiming nodded.

From Dai Yuanhang, he learned about the situation during the previous assessments. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

Very few true disciples could replicate 80% to 90% of the concept diagram. Most of them reached around 60%, while inner sect disciples usually reached around 30%. 40% was considered a good grade.

Within half a year of entering the sect, 20% was the normal level.

Considering that he had to display top-notch talent at the disciple level in order to quickly surpass his status as a disciple and enter the core of the Myriad Phenomena Sect,

Chen Yiming had to perform exceptionally well in this assessment.

…

After returning to the Myriad Phenomena Sect, a week passed.

As a new disciple, Chen Yiming stayed in the sect without going outside.

Every day, he would research the problems he encountered during the internal force fusion. From time to time, he would go to the library to read through the information left behind by his seniors. He would also often find opportunities to communicate with the elder in the library.

On the mountain, although most of the disciples still maintained their normal cultivation pace, they could still feel the change in the atmosphere. The naturally harmonious and quiet atmosphere had disappeared, and was replaced by a sense of urgency.

The reason was that going down the mountain to carry out a mission meant that they would have to fight. Everyone was trying to make last-minute preparations to improve their combat ability as much as possible.

To the disciples of the large sects, their future was full of limitless possibilities. They did not want to simply be defeated on one of their missions.

Below the mountain, the various provinces began to implement the plan to establish a long-term stronghold in the otherworld for the Daxia Kingdom. For a time, the wilderness became lively again.

With the sect masters at the peak of the warrior realm gone, the big shots at the second stage of the warrior realm were the top combatants in the wilderness.

Because there were more people at this level than at the level of the sect masters of large sects, the conflicts between them naturally became very frequent.

The situation in Jiangnan province was especially dire. The Jiyang Sect and the Kunshan Sect had suddenly shrunk their sphere of influence, leaving countless territories unprotected.

Unless they did not have enough strength, no faction could resist the temptation to take over the territory for free, causing much bloodshed.

The Blue Cloud Sword Sect was a large sect near Luoxi City. After receiving the news from Mist Island, they immediately called all the people they had sent to Jiangnan province back to the sect.

Furthermore, while Li Daoyi was assigned to the stronghold in the otherworld, the three peak masters each brought a group of disciples to stay in Luoxi City.

This was to prevent the masked men from attacking the sect and wiping out the Blue Cloud Sword Sect in one fell swoop.
