I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Chapter 123 – Sky Pit (I)  

The Plum Blossom Sky Pit

was located in the middle of East Lake City and Cloud Port City, more than a hundred kilometers away from each city.

It was a hole that was created naturally and was more than 100 meters deep and about a kilometer wide. Around it was a steep rock wall, and plum blossom trees were growing on top of it. At the bottom of the pit was an underground river.

Looking down the pit from the sky, the hole was like a huge mouth leading to the abyss because the sunlight could not reach its bottom.

Chen Yiming brought Mo Yanfei to the top of a tree in the forest and rushed towards their destination.

“What's the situation down there?” Chen Yiming asked.

“A giant three-tailed turtle lives in the underground river at the bottom,” Mo Yanfei told him truthfully.

Chen Yiming's eyes lit up as he asked, “Are there any treasures at the bottom?”

The cultivation environment on the blue planet was better the closer one was to the space-travel passage.

In the wilderness far from the space-travel passage, the active mutant beasts were only at the level of three transformations on average.

“That's right. There's a strange tree at the bottom of the pit. The three-tailed turtle ate the fruit of the strange tree to cultivate, and is at the level of humans who have mastered the transformation of internal force,” Mo Yanfei explained.

“Do you know what use there is for the fruit of that strange tree?” Chen Yiming asked.

“It's said that eating the fruit from the strange tree can help in the transformation of one's internal force,” Mo Yanfei said softly.

Chen Yiming nodded.

The fruits produced by the strange tree could help in the transformation of one's internal force. It was suitable for those with an ordinary level of talent in the warrior realm.

That was why the previous head of the Yue clan, who was at the bottom of the warrior realm, was willing to risk his life in such a dangerous place to obtain a path for his future.

“The Plum Blossom Sky Pit is just ahead,” Mo Yanfei suddenly pointed ahead and reminded him.

Chen Yiming looked in the direction she was pointing.

In the darkness, a gap that emitted a sinister aura appeared. Even with just a glance, one could not help but stop in their tracks.

“Swish!”

The sound of rushing wind suddenly appeared.

A row of flying knives shot out from the darkness, targeting the masked man and Mo Yanfei.

Chen Yiming's ears twitched as he struck out at a spot a few meters to his right with his palm.

“Bang!”

The piercing internal force hit the flying knife, and it exploded into pieces.

At the same time, a dazzling silver light exploded in the darkness, making the situation in the forest visible.

There were three people, two men and one woman, standing on a thick tree branch.

The one who had attacked was the woman. She had silver hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing a black dress with pink peach blossoms printed on it.

The masked man had barged into the Yue clan's residence and kidnapped Yue Yangpeng's wife in front of him, then defeated Ren Pingsheng, the overseer of East Lake City.

Because communication was temporarily cut off, the news did not reach Yungang City immediately, so the three of them did not know about it yet.

Chen Yiming and Mo Yanfei stopped on a branch as well. The two sides faced each other from 20 to 30 meters away.

“It's you, Sister Mo.” Shen Qiushui's red lips parted slightly.

Her voice echoed clearly through the forest.

This was a type of voice transmission technique. Using internal force to vibrate the air was equivalent to using a loudspeaker to speak.

Mo Yanfei did not respond. Instead, she turned to the masked man and said, “They are from Yungang City. Yue Yangpeng left East Lake City before the alien bird creatures attacked the city because he wanted to discuss a collaboration with them.”

“Does that woman have a grudge against you?” Chen Yiming asked when he sensed that something was amiss.

Mo Yanfei hesitated for a moment before whispering, “Shen Qiushui was Yue Yangpeng's fiancée when he was young.”

“He broke off the engagement?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise.

Mo Yanfei nodded.

The common trope of breaking off an engagement in novels from his previous world flashed across Chen Yiming's mind.

Yue Yangpeng and Shen Qiushui were both ordinary warriors. According to the standards of modern society, the men were generally stronger than the women by one or two levels.

Shen Qiushui's ideal partner was a warrior who had mastered the transformation of internal force.

Hearing the masked man and Mo Yanfei openly discussing the unsavory events from her past, Shen Qiushui's expression turned ugly. A wave of anger welled up in her heart and she instantly lost all rationality.

“You're courting death!”

Shen Qiushui's figure moved, turning into a black light as she charged out.

While she was still in midair, she twisted her wrist and three knives flew out from her hand.

“Swish!”

The three knives shot out in a triangular formation, sealing off the space for the two of them to dodge.

At the same time, she drew the sword at her waist with her other hand and stabbed it towards Mo Yanfei.

A buzzing sound rang out in the air, and countless streams of air were inexplicably drawn in. Three small vortexes and a large vortex appeared on the flying knives and the sword respectively.

At this moment, they were still nearly 10 meters away from each other, but the leaves on the surrounding branches had already been pulled off by a strong force and were sucked into the vortex.

This was the Shen clan's secret technique, the Thousand Way Attraction. It could produce a powerful suction force, making it difficult for the opponent to use movement techniques to dodge their attacks.

Faced with the sudden sneak attack, Chen Yiming wasn't flustered. He raised his hand and struck the air four times.

“Break!”

Four bursts of internal force shot out to meet the three flying knives and the long sword.

“Bang…”

Four explosions rang out.

The flying knives exploded into small pieces in midair that flew back at an even faster speed.

Shen Qiushui first sensed that the vortex barrier created by the Thousand Way Attraction Technique was emitting a sound of breaking apart before it was shattered in an instant.

The piercing internal force was like a sharp arrow that pierced through the vortex barrier and struck Shen Qiushui straight in the chest.

“Oof!” She spat out a mouthful of blood.

Shen Qiushui had carelessly neglected to not use her internal force to cover her entire body for defense. She was sent flying back.

Fortunately, Chen Yiming had sensed that the killing intent wasn't directed at him, so he didn't have any intention of killing her. Coupled with the fact that his internal force had been continuously dissipating after leaving his body and the fact that it had broken through the vortex barrier, his internal force had already lost more than half of its power.

In the distance, the two men standing on the thick tree branch were momentarily stunned. When they reacted, their bodies moved in a flash and they caught Shen Qiushui, who was falling down, just before she hit the ground.

At this moment, Shen Qiushui's face had turned completely red. Her black dress had been sliced open by pieces of the knives that flew back, revealing her naked body underneath.

The two people working were too embarrassed to even sneak a peek since they had been living in the same city for a long time. However, the masked man opposite them saw everything.

For those at the level of the warrior realm, other than in the provincial city, there were rarely more than 50 people in the ordinary cities. Their status was above that of a million people.

Her status as someone who was superior to others for so many years was shattered in an instant, causing her to be in a daze. She could only feel humiliated by the fact that she had been stripped naked and scrutinized by another.

“Yanfei, so you prefer someone young,” Xu Zhiliang suddenly said.

Although Chen Yiming had a black mask covering his face, he still looked extremely young. After all, he was only 18 years old, and there was a clear difference between him and most warriors who were in their forties.

After a pause, he smiled and said, “No wonder you would rather die than submit to me at the previous banquet.”

A secret that only the two of them knew was revealed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he added, “By the way, Yue Jingtian made such a stupid mistake, and even Yue Yangpeng won't be able to escape punishment. Did you find another young person to lean on?”

Chen Yiming raised an eyebrow. He wasn't used to such situations.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary working-class person. He had only heard about high society and knew that the rich liked to play all kinds of tricks.

After transmigrating to this world for more than a year, he had spent most of his time practicing martial arts. He had little contact with the upper class.

He was a little surprised. Not only did the other party dare to covet the wife of a warrior, but he also wanted to force himself on her. Wasn't he afraid that Yue Yangpeng would come knocking on his door?

Mo Yanfei's expression froze. She felt as if her heart had been gripped by an invisible hand.

As a former member of high society, she knew exactly what Xu Zhiliang was thinking.

Even if the masked man knew that this was a trap, this would still create a knot in his heart. If they fought later, he might not protect her again.
