I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points-Chapter 259 - Base City

After leaving the academy building, in a pavilion not far away, there were students sparring with their swords. Their swords collided with a bang, and their figures flashed past as they separated. They then discussed the advantages and disadvantages of their previous attack.

Behind them, there was an uproar in the academy building. Xu Fangfang was standing at the door of Class 3245 with the students from other classes. The door of the classroom was locked from the inside, and one could only see the situation inside through the window.

A group of students, together with a teacher, surrounded a female student and were studying the things in her hands.

Most of her vision was blocked by the other people. Xu Fangfang was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. She was clearly the first…

Chen Yiming watched everything that happened in the martial arts academy. After a long time, he retracted his gaze and strode out of the academy.

After planting a seed, he could not predict how it would grow from now on. He could only give it a certain amount of support and use his personal reputation to spread it to more people.

…

Near the south city gate of East Lake City, a railway was being built that extended straight into the horizon.

Such a scene had appeared in every city in Jiangnan province at the same time. The tracks led to the base city that was under construction, and the entire province was working hard to support the construction of the base city.

Chen Yiming walked along the tracks alone.

Along the way, he saw a large number of martial arts practitioners protecting the construction teams from the mutant beasts.

He also cleaned up a few groups of mutant beasts that were spying on them as he went, leaving behind many traces of Sword Aura along the way.

The tops of hills were shaved off, forests were flattened, and long ravines appeared on the ground. He used powerful moves to intimidate the mutant beasts wandering near the railway.

......

Not long after, Chen Yiming was stopped by a team.

The people in front of him had numerous scars on their bodies. They were not soldiers from the military, but martial arts practitioners hired to clean up the mutant beasts in the area around the railway.

“It’s dangerous here. Leave this place quickly.”

The middle-aged man in the lead waved his hand, indicating that Chen Yiming shouldn’t linger around the railway tracks.

“What exactly is happening here?” Chen Yiming asked.

“Are you heading to the base city alone?” the middle-aged man sized Chen Yiming up and asked.

“I’m just going to check on the situation.”

Chen Yiming laughed.

“The situation in the base city is still alright, but the situation at the stronghold on the other side of the space-travel passage is very delicate. Our side has entered a state of full retreat and is on the defensive… I suggest that you don’t go over at this time.”

The middle-aged man was chatty and warm-hearted. He quickly explained the situation to Chen Yiming.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers drove over in an off-road vehicle from afar.

These soldiers were all armed to the teeth and were watching the situation on the tracks solemnly.

“Captain…”

Someone in the team spoke up.

“I know,” the middle-aged man nodded and said in a low voice.

The time he had spent chatting with Chen Yiming was too long. The team was still tasked with the job of eliminating the mutant beasts. If they didn’t take action soon, it would be troublesome if the soldiers passing by misunderstood them.

“There’s an emergency in the direction you came from. Little brother, you’d better take a detour and leave this area. Don’t go back the way you came.”

Before he left, the middle-aged man gave him another reminder.

“Got it.” 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Chen Yiming waved goodbye to him.

In the eyes of these people, he saw the unity of the humans in resisting the invasion of the otherworld.

The creatures from the otherworld were different from the mutant beasts on the blue planet. Although the mutant beasts evolved from wild beasts had occupied the wilderness and greatly reduced the territory that humans could completely control, on the whole, the mutant beasts did not pose a threat on the level of the extermination of humans.

On the other hand, the threat posed by the creatures from the otherworld was huge. Ever since the invasion of the otherworld, the humans had been living in fear. They were afraid that one day, an existence that even humans at the level of martial masters would not be able to fight against would appear from the space-travel passage.

On the rest of the road, military vehicles carrying soldiers roared past. The teams that were clearing out the mutant beasts split up and carried out a thorough job.

An armed helicopter flew past in the sky and stopped in an area not long after. The sound of the rotors could be heard from afar.

Chen Yiming marveled at the determination of Jiangnan province to establish a stronghold in the otherworld. There were many other railway tracks like this. Only by mobilizing the strength of the entire province could they do this.

He spread out his illusionary internal force and hid his figure, not letting anyone notice his identity. He quickly rushed towards the base city.

…

The base city was located to the northeast of Jiangnan City, almost at the center of the entire Jiangnan province.

One of the reasons why this space-travel passage was chosen was because it was neither too far nor too close to Jiangnan City. The other reason was that since the base city was the future core of the province, it was not suitable for it to be closer to the cities in any direction.

Coincidentally, there was a space-travel passage in the center of Jiangnan province. The environment of the otherworld on the other side of the space-travel passage also met the requirements to build a stronghold.

Chen Yiming stood on a mountain and looked over from afar.

A breeze blew past, and leaves mixed with sand hit his body.

A group of buildings made of steel appeared in front of him. Railway tracks extended out from each direction, connecting to the various cities in Jiangnan province.

There were a large number of towers built on all four sides, and sentries were stationed on them. In the center of the base city was a crack that was 100 meters long. This was the space-travel passage to the otherworld.

At this stage, the base city was made up of military fortresses that surrounded the space-travel passage. Not only did they have to defend against the threat from the mutant beasts around the base city, but they also had to defend against the threat from the otherworld.

Chen Yiming had just come down from the mountain when a soldier ran over and stopped him.

“In front of us is an important military area. You are not allowed to enter it now. Please leave this place immediately.”

“I’m not going in. I just came to take a look,” Chen Yiming paused for a moment before saying.

He thought about how he no longer had his consultant badge with him. Without any evidence, he would not be able to prove his identity. It would cause trouble for him if others doubted his identity.

Moreover, he had really only come to take a look and observe the situation to make plans for a journey in the future. He would return to the Myriad Phenomena Sect to visit the severely injured sect master.

“You can’t even take a look. Leave quickly, or we’ll detain you and wait for your identity to be verified.”

The soldier ordered him to leave again.

Just as Chen Yiming was about to turn around and leave, an alarm sounded in the base city.

A large number of soldiers set up the cannons, and the artillerymen loaded the ammunition. The main guns of the tanks were raised, waiting for the order to fire.

The soldier who had stopped Chen Yiming didn’t care if he had already left. He turned around and ran back to his post.

Chen Yiming turned to look in the direction where the alarm had sounded. More than 10 barbarians, each 30 to 40 meters tall, had charged out of the forest in the distance, heading straight for the base city.

None of the barbarians had two heads. They were all single-headed, and each of them was holding a black stick. They had probably been broken off from some tree in the otherworld.

Chen Yiming’s expression turned solemn.

Having fought with the barbarian sorcerers before, he knew that the barbarians were not easy to deal with.

Of course, the barbarians in front of him were far weaker than the barbarian sorcerer, but they could not be underestimated either. The base city needed humans at the peak of the warrior realm to be able to withstand their attacks.

Could this be the problem left behind from the incident where the Myriad Phenomena Sect Master was severely injured that Liu Sujuan mentioned?

At this moment, the artillerymen and tanks were the first to open fire. Densely packed artillery shells flew out and exploded in the barbarians’ path.

In the base city, more than 10 helicopters rose up and started firing at the barbarians.

Unfortunately, the strongest of these barbarians was at the peak of the warrior realm, while the rest had at least mastered the transformation of their internal force.

Coupled with their huge body and extraordinary defense, the lethality of conventional human weapons was limited. As long as they were not directly hit, it would not even be able to hinder them.

When the barbarians had crossed about half the distance, a group of people in military uniforms walked out of the space-travel passage in the base city.

These people were not ordinary soldiers, but martial arts experts from the military.

The stronghold and the base city were two sides of the same coin. Unless they were attacked from both sides, the humans could transfer people from one side to the other at any time.

The barbarians stopped in their tracks almost at the same time. They spoke in an unknown language at a distance of two to three kilometers away.

They looked very angry and seemed to hope that the humans would make way for them to return to the otherworld.

The artillery fire from the humans also stopped. The martial arts experts from the military climbed up a tower and watched the barbarians from afar. For some reason, they did not leave the base city to pursue them.

However, this attitude also caused the barbarians to panic. The dozen or so barbarians scattered to the side and maintained a sufficient distance from each other.

Chen Yiming roughly understood what was going on.

The situation at the stronghold in the otherworld was probably not looking good. The base city’s priority was to stabilize the situation. When the situation eased up, they would have time to deal with these scattered barbarians.

After a few minutes of stalemate between the two sides, the barbarians seemed to want to retreat. When the barbarians started to move back step by step,

Chen Yiming glanced at the person standing at the front of the army. With a flash, he appeared in front of the barbarians.

Suddenly, someone had interfered in the battle between the humans and the barbarians. This stunned both sides.

The soldiers on the human side originally thought that it would be like the previous few times. In the end, they would still have their own reservations and both sides would retreat.

Unexpectedly, a powerful person suddenly appeared on the human’s side.

He dared to face more than 10 powerful barbarians alone. Coupled with the speed of his movements, how could he be an ordinary person?

The barbarians were strangely angry, but they were wary of the human experts in the base city. Because the two sides had clashed before, they knew that this was not a good time to fight.

However, Chen Yiming didn’t care what they thought.

The peach wood sword in his hand slashed out horizontally, and a kilometer-long Sword Aura formed a straight line that appeared in front of the barbarians.

“&;%?￥#?￥%”

The barbarians were about to curse when their words were stuck in their throats.

The upper and lower bodies of all the barbarians were separated by the Sword Aura, and blood gushed into the air like a fountain. Their corpses were split into two and scattered on the ground.

The barbarians, who were a great threat to the base city of Jiangnan province, had not been able to put up any resistance from the beginning to the end. They died just like that on the wasteland a few kilometers away from the base city.

He glanced at the changes on the martial arts talent panel. The Skill Points required for the Level-3 Undying Body talent had only decreased by a few dozen points.

“It seems that as my level increases and my talent level increases, opponents who are too weak will no longer provide much benefit.” 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

After thinking it through, Chen Yiming’s figure flashed again and he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

This action shocked the soldiers from the base city again. He just upped and left, and the barbarians’ corpses were casually abandoned in the wasteland.

In the base city, Xie Weilin rushed out.

When she saw the empty wasteland and the corpses of the barbarians that were still twitching from time to time, she stomped her feet angrily.

She had no choice but to go back and report to her superior that Chen Yiming had appeared in the base city.

…

In the Myriad Phenomena Sect, there were festive ribbons hung everywhere in the sect. The disciples were all extremely excited. If this matter did not end, they would not be able to calm down and focus on their martial arts cultivation.

The preparations for the welcoming ceremony that had been ready for several days were finally used. According to the usual style of human society below the mountain, a large banner was specially prepared and hung at the entrance of the mountain.

The Myriad Phenomena Sect suddenly had a person whose combat strength was comparable to that of a martial master. Regardless of whether this person was the sect master or a disciple, it was enough as long as he was a member of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

The sect master of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, Ye Jianyuan, stood in front of everyone with a flushed face. His right hand and shoulder were no longer there, and even with his sleeve covering hiding it, it still looked empty.

Beside him were the heads of the 12 inner courts. The head of the Mantis Snake Court, Zhou Xuesheng, straightened his back and could not hide the pride on his face.

Chen Yiming had defeated the barbarian sorcerer who had broken into the blue planet. This was the information that had been gathered after the investigation. This was something his mentor, Zhou Xuesheng, could brag about for the rest of his life.

There were also representatives from the large factions in and around Jiangnan province, as well as some higher ups from the province. Everyone had been waiting for a few days for Chen Yiming to return.

In such a situation, the Myriad Phenomena Sect was free from the shackles of a province and was as independent as though it was its own country.

This was because the martial masters were also known as the guardians of the country.

They were the ultimate weapons that were on par with nuclear weapons. Furthermore, there was a wide range of uses for those in the master realm. Be it in the otherworld or on the blue planet, there were very few restrictions on their use, since it would not cause serious nuclear pollution.

“Court Head Zhou, Hall Master Wan, the two of you have to take credit for this.”

Ye Jianyuan chuckled, not feeling dejected at all from his serious injuries.

“No! No! My role was just like that of a passerby,” Wan Rong replied happily.

“That’s right. It’s Yiming’s own ability,” Zhou Xuesheng said humbly.

Everyone knew about this. After all, both Wan Rong and Zhou Xuesheng had been left far behind by Chen Yiming and hadn’t been able to teach him much.

The other court heads were filled with envy. Why didn’t they have such good luck? However, they had also benefited a lot from this. With Chen Yiming around, the Myriad Phenomena Sect would be a faction at the level of the master realm.

This was rare even in the whole of the Daxia Kingdom.

Bai Qizhou, the head of the Flying Crane Court, was the only one among the other court heads who did not need to be envious.

Although Chen Yiming had not joined the Flying Crane Court, Wan Ya was a disciple of the sect. With their relationship, even if the Myriad Phenomena Sect developed further in the future, Bai Qizhou’s position as the court head would not be shaken.

…

When Chen Yiming appeared at the entrance of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, the news was quickly circulated around the sect. The welcoming ceremony that had been prepared was quickly set up.

Time passed by slowly, and Chen Yiming slowly arrived at the entrance.

On the way back to the Myriad Phenomena Sect from the base city, he felt that the situation in the war with the otherworld was serious. He quickly improvised and created a transitional version of the cultivation techniques from the 12 inner courts.

Just like the new Mantis Snake Sword Technique, the power of the transitional version was reduced by half, and the requirement for spiritual strength was reduced by 30%.

Furthermore, he gave a general idea of how to master the transformation of the internal force in the subsequent versions of the cultivation technique.

This idea was based on his experience from studying the 12 types of internal force during the process of the internal force fusion. Coupled with his powerful comprehension from the Level-3 swordsmanship talent, he had gotten this idea in a flash of inspiration.

It was similar to scientific theories. Without knowing how Chen Yiming had come up with this idea, there was a high chance that one could grasp the corresponding changes in their internal force by following the same pattern.
