I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points-Chapter 296 - Visitor From the Capital

Near midnight, Chen Yiming left the Mantis Snake Sword School.

The street lamps on both sides lit up the entire street. The small vendors selling supper kept calling out to the people passing by. In their food trucks, there were fried scallion pancakes, skewers covered in sauce, and all kinds of snacks…

Some of the young people who had cultivated hard in the martial arts school until late at night before returning home smelled the delicious snacks and their stomachs started to growl. After some hesitation, they stopped in their tracks and bought some supper.

Chen Yiming glanced at the young people who were secretly snacking, then rushed back home.

Along the way, he fell into deep thought, thinking about a suitable way to deal with the war on the other side of the strange mountain village. At some point, his surroundings had become quiet, causing him to be even more immersed in his own world.

The journey home was not far, but he had already reviewed everything he saw and heard during the day and still had not arrived. It seemed abnormal? No, it must be abnormal.

All along, the spiritual world had been protected by the figure in his mind. He had never been worried about those unorthodox methods. Now that the figure in his mind had already turned into a sword spirit and was sent to the otherworld, he would have to rely on himself to deal with the enemy’s spiritual methods.

Chen Yiming suddenly realized this.

“That pool of black water? The black giant that I destroyed with one punch?”

Just as he pinned his suspicions on the only suspicious person, a voice interrupted Chen Yiming’s thoughts.

“Master, wait a moment. I have something to tell you.”

Chen Yiming turned around and saw Shen Mengwei running over. Her clothes were drenched in sweat, and he could vaguely make out her curvy figure.

He looked at her openly and pretended not to notice anything amiss. He asked, “Did the people in the school gang up on you?”

......

Shen Mengwei nodded and unbuttoned the first button of her collar, revealing a scar on one shoulder from a sharp weapon.

The wounds had not completely scabbed over, and blood was seeping out from the edges.

Chen Yiming’s eyes widened and his expression froze. His gaze couldn’t help but drift to the area around the wound. Her skin was as pale as milk…

He muttered in his heart, “Shen Mengwei is a female disciple I just took in. As her master, how can I have such thoughts? No, I have no intention of taking her in as my own disciple! My arrangement for Shen Mengwei has always been to let her enter an inner court to cultivate.”

“Damn it, I was tricked. This wasn’t my intention at all. I’m not that kind of person.”

Shen Mengwei suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Chen Yiming’s hand. She asked shyly, “Master, I want to stay at your house. Your parents and sister should be asleep by now. It should be fine if we are quiet.”

“Damn it! I clearly know that this is fake, but it feels too real!”

He subconsciously swallowed his saliva as he enjoyed the view from this perspective.

This unknown enemy could actually turn an imaginary scene into something that was almost real. Other than the fact that Shen Mengwei could not be such a person, he really could not see anything strange about her. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

Chen Yiming allowed her to grab his hand. The smoothness of her skin made his heart race.

Seeing that Chen Yiming couldn’t make a decision, Shen Mengwei hugged the hand she was grabbing onto, indicating for him to agree quickly.

“Tsk!” Chen Yiming gasped. His gaze met Shen Mengwei’s. He really didn’t want to expose his enemy and wanted to see how far he could go.

However, Shen Mengwei’s watery eyes suddenly turned black. A suction force like a vortex appeared, and Chen Yiming was pulled into the darkness.

Around him was an endless black sea. Indistinct whispers surrounded his ears, and ghostly figures appeared and disappeared on the surface of the sea.

“Eh? Is this fake? Or was my consciousness really dragged into the otherworld?”

Chen Yiming sized up his surroundings and waited for his enemy’s next move.

Actually, he was not that worried. This was because the main body of the black river was in the otherworld, and he was on the blue planet. If the other party really had the power to cross worlds to attack him, how could he influence only the strange mountain village and be limited to such a small area previously?

If it was the black water that he had defeated, he could just destroy it again.

Next, as if angered by Chen Yiming’s calmness, huge waves rose from the black sea. Countless ghosts and monsters charged at him amidst the waves.

“F*ck! Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

He transformed into a giant.

Chen Yiming transformed into a 100-meter-tall giant to face the attack.

His endless stamina, inexhaustible energy, and indescribable strength gave him plenty of confidence.

Even if he was fighting against the sea, the other party seemed unlikely to win.

Every punch and kick of the giant that Chen Yiming had transformed into created huge waves that were hundreds or even thousands of meters long. The ghosts were all wiped out.

The huge waves and ghosts appeared continuously. It seemed like they wanted to tire the giant out.

An hour passed.

Two hours passed.

…

The next day.

At some point, the darkness suddenly dissipated, and the black sea quickly collapsed.

Chen Yiming’s vision flashed, and the real world appeared. He stood in the middle of the road and looked up at the sky. He realized that not much time had passed since he left the Mantis Snake Sword School.

After subtracting the time spent in a conversation with the fake Shen Mengwei, only a short period of time seemed to have passed.

“I’m not afraid of a battle of attrition.”

Chen Yiming smiled. There was no need to consider techniques when using one’s pure strength to crush one’s enemies. It was suitable for the blue planet where martial arts talent was relatively weak.

At this moment, the martial arts talent panel appeared.

“Swordsmanship talent Skill Point requirement: -1,000”

Chen Yiming realized that this was a good way to determine whether the enemy was alive or dead. The black water was a special life form, so he could use his previous experience with killing spirits using the Sword Aura as a reference.

After thinking it through, he quickly rushed home.

…

The next day, at dawn, Chen Yiming knocked on his sister’s bedroom door and shouted, “Wake up.”

The sound of someone tossing and turning could be heard from the room, but it quickly quieted down. Clearly, Chen Yingying did not want to get out of bed, so she covered her head and continued to sleep.

Sleep in?

This was impossible. Her talent was too low, and she could not slack off for even a day.

“Knock knock knock!”

Chen Yiming continued to knock.

A minute later, Chen Yingying opened the door sleepily and muttered, “Brother, you didn’t even let me have a good rest on the first day back.”

Chen Yiming raised an eyebrow and returned to his bedroom to start his daily cultivation. No, he fell back asleep.

He felt that he could not give his sister a chance to slack off. As for himself, he still felt a little tired from the battle with the black sea last night. He needed to sleep more to make up for it.

Near noon, the mayor of East Lake City, Hong Yi, visited again.

As usual, they exchanged some pleasantries. Before he left, he asked Chen Yiming if East Lake City should enter a state of war. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

East Lake City only needed to give basic respect to an ordinary warrior. The military could directly suppress any abnormal actions at the warrior level. For warriors who had mastered the transformation of internal force, East Lake City would want to get along well with them, but they did not ask for their opinion.

For someone at the peak of the warrior realm, everyone in East Lake City, including the city guardians, had to give him the highest respect, but they would never allow him to interfere in government affairs.

As the pillar of Jiangnan province and even the eastern province of the Daxia Kingdom, Chen Yiming only wanted to cultivate quietly and didn’t want to get too involved with other places. However, East Lake City had shamelessly tried to curry favor with him.

This was the influence brought about by being at the level of the guardian of the country. Recently, there had been rumors that the new guardian of the Daxia Kingdom had the combat strength to suppress those of the same level.

Such a person came from East Lake City. Unless the higher-ups in East Lake City were crazy, they would treat him with the same respect as they would accord their ancestors.

Chen Yiming gave his opinion. “There’s no need for that. Even if a war breaks out, we will still be temporarily protected by the six large sects.”

If anyone else said this, Hong Yi would only scoff. However, Chen Yiming’s words indicated the location where the enemy would be coming from if the war affected Jiangnan province.

Soon, Mayor Hong Yi stood up and bowed to give thanks on behalf of East Lake City before leaving the Chen residence.

…

As the days passed, Jiangnan province used the locations of the six large sects as the frontline of an upcoming battle. Countless tanks, missile trucks, and armored vehicles were stationed there, ready to fire at any moment.

The surrounding provinces also transferred a portion of their military forces into Jiangnan province to provide support.

From time to time, Jiangnan City would send out reconnaissance teams to enter the otherworld on the other side of the strange mountain village to observe the situation of the war between the black river and the treants.

A week later, at the airport in Jiangnan City, a military transport plane successfully landed on the runway.

The door opened, and three men and a woman jumped down from the plane without waiting for the ladder to be placed properly.

At the same time, the four of them did not hide their auras. The entire airport seemed to be covered in dark clouds, and the air became unusually hot. The airport staff all found it difficult to breathe.

Wang Ronghui, the city guardian of Jiangnan City, led the higher-ups of the provincial government to quickly welcome them.

“Welcome to Jiangnan City.”

The four of them nodded at Wang Ronghui and did not pay him any more attention.

They were all from the sect of the martial master in the north. Each of them was half a step away from the master realm, and they were the cream of the crop in the Daxia Kingdom.

Now that the situation in Jiangnan province had suddenly changed, and it was very likely that they would be affected by a war above the master realm, the four of them had been sent over to provide support.

Among them, a man with long hair looked in the direction of the strange village and said calmly, “Is that where the battle at the master realm broke out? Perhaps this time, the four of us will have a chance to fight a life-and-death battle with a true martial master.”

He had a large bow on his back but did not carry any arrows on him. He was not very old, only in his early thirties, but his words were filled with confidence.

In the south, many people might not know about him, but in the capital, the long-haired man was known as the Divine Arrow and was a hero to countless people.

A red-haired woman among them rolled her eyes. “Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, kings against kings. It’s not like no one in Jiangnan province can match up to them. I think the probability of what you said happening is not high.”

She had a delicate appearance, exquisite facial features, and an alluring smile. However, there was a spear hanging on her back, which was completely at odds with her appearance.

In reality, the red-haired woman was the most violent of the four. She liked to fight the most. Her enemies would often be easily fooled by her appearance and she would have the upper hand.

“It’s said that the war is a battle between two special life forms at the master realm from the otherworld. As long as we show enough strength, I believe we will have a chance,” the long-haired man thought nothing of it and muttered to himself.

“If they can suppress one side that is at the master realm, but do you think they lack a second hand to suppress the other? Just use your arrows to clear out the small monsters. Don’t be a burden,” the red-haired woman retorted.

“That doesn’t sound like something you would say,” the long-haired man said meaningfully as he glanced at the red-haired woman.

The red-haired woman also felt that what she said was inappropriate, so she quickly explained, “You only know how to hide at the back and shoot arrows. When have you not let a woman like me fight at the front? This time, you’re trying to send me to my grave.”

The long-haired man turned his head away and did not reply.

A middle-aged man at the side said, “Alright, alright. We’re here to provide support. Just follow the arrangements. We should stick together.”

With that, he turned to the city guardian, Wang Ronghui, and said, “There’s no need to do anything unnecessary. Just bring us to the area we will be responsible for.”

Wang Ronghui nodded and waved his hand. Five military off-road vehicles drove over.

Soon, the group boarded the vehicles and sped off.

…

More than an hour later, the off-road vehicles stopped in the wilderness.

Wang Ronghui and the group alighted from the vehicles and looked at the ruins not far away.

“That’s the ruins of the Kunshan Sect,” Wang Ronghui said as he pointed at the broken mountain.

As the engines were killed, the scene fell completely silent. No one spoke as they stared blankly at the mountain full of cracks.

The remnants of the Kunshan Sect’s buildings were scattered across the mountain, and not a single one of them was intact. The special thing about them was that they looked like they had collapsed from some impact, and were not damaged directly.

In addition, large pits had appeared in the mountains. From the outside, they looked like footprints, but the size was too shocking.

The long-haired man came to Wang Ronghui’s side and asked in a low voice, “Did you get hold of any videos? Let us take a look.”

Wang Ronghui smiled bitterly. “The battle ended too quickly. When someone noticed and reported it, we sent a helicopter to the scene. But we could only capture some of the aftermath of the battle and had to rely on verbal descriptions of the situation.”

With that, he took out a special playback he carried with him that was a little like a tablet computer. He clicked on a file and entered a password. Then the video began to play.

The red-haired woman and the other two people also came over to watch the video together.

The video started playing from the helicopter’s perspective. The gazes of the four of them were attracted to the video right from the start, and they only came back to their senses after the video ended 10 minutes later.

The red-haired woman was full of adoration. Her eyes lit up as she whispered, “He can crush them like a group of ants with just one step. If only I could become like that.”

When the long-haired man heard this, he raised his eyebrows. He finally understood why the red-haired woman had been going against him after getting off the plane.

Violence and violence would resonate.

Wang Ronghui put away the device and told them about the situation. “According to a few people who happened to be passing by, there was a battle between two 100-meter-tall giants in the Kunshan Sect. The giant formed by the black aura was blown up by the other giant with a single punch.”

100-meter-tall giants?

This…

Even though the red-haired woman had already guessed it from observing the footprints left behind, she was still shocked to hear it from Wang Ronghui himself.
