I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Chapter 187 – Who Is the Prey? (I)  

Silence returned to the ruins of the valley.

Looking down from the sky, a circular pit about a kilometer in diameter had appeared.

At the bottom of the pit, some golden willow tree roots were revealed. These were the roots of the willow tree king in the middle of the island.

Only the willow tree king, who was at the same level, could easily withstand the aftershock of the battle between Chen Yiming and Lu Zhenshan. The willow tree roots in the valley that had only a trace of life left in them had long been destroyed.

Chen Yiming glanced at the protective armor formed by his strength-based internal force. A brown light flowed through it, as though it had not been damaged at all.

Compared to Li Daoyi from the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, Lu Zhenshan's Five Labors and Seven Wounds Fist Technique was weaker on the surface. It wasn't enough to break Chen Yiming's internal force protection.

The strange attacks that could cause internal damage to the body were countered by his recovery ability.

In terms of overall threat, Lu Zhenshan was inferior to Li Daoyi.

“Are you an alien from the otherworld?” Lu Zhenshan suddenly asked.

His gaze was fixed on the masked man's face, and he carefully observed every change in his expression, trying to trick him into revealing his background.

Chen Yiming's expression remained unchanged.

An alien?

So there were actually humans in the otherworld as well. Chen Yiming had never encountered any information about them.

There were only two possibilities. Either it was a taboo for humans on the otherworld to come to the blue planet, or his level on the surface was too low and he was still not able to come into contact with information related to the aliens.

“Who exactly are you? You actually took 100 punches from me and still look fine,” Lu Zhenshan continued to mutter to himself.

Chen Yiming didn't answer his question. Instead, he smiled and said, “Why are you feeling tired so soon? What other secret techniques do you have? Hurry up and use them. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance later.”

The two of them had only exchanged more than 100 blows, and they were far from reaching the limit of Lu Zhenshan's internal force. If Chen Yiming wanted to hold his opponent back on Mist Island, he had to trick him into using all his internal force to fight him.

However, while Lu Zhenshan had initially seemed to want to take revenge at all costs, at this moment, he suddenly returned to the appearance of an ordinary old man, and became calm and collected.

“Hehe, your words are too fake. I'm not that stupid,” Lu Zhenshan said with a smile.

He had a totally different attitude from when he thought he was facing an enemy of a lower level.

Knowing that his revenge was temporarily unachievable, he immediately switched from offense to defense, not giving the enemy a chance.

Seeing this, Chen Yiming knew that Lu Zhenshan had realized that the Five Labors and Seven Wounds Fist was useless against him.

“That's not up to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, with a flash, he raised the sword formed by his internal force and charged at Lu Zhenshan.

At the same time, three swords formed from the strength-based internal force materialized beside him and shot out like three missiles.

At this moment, Chen Yiming had finally revealed the terrifying speed at which his internal force could be replenished after he had gained the Level-2 Undying Body talent. It was as if his internal force would never be fully consumed, and he could use it freely.

It had to be known that for close-range attacks, there was only a need to repair the damaged parts, while for long-range attacks, the internal force used was completely depleted. The consumption speed of internal force for these two types of attacks was not on the same level.

Usually, they would only use long-range attacks when they were suppressing those at a lower level. In order to maximize their lethality in a fight at the same level, they would usually focus their internal force at one point and unleash it all at once.

Seeing this, Lu Zhenshan narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. He suddenly released the internal force from his fist, then his body swayed and he retreated in a flash.

At this moment, how could he not understand that his opponent had not used his full strength earlier? A sense of danger welled up in his heart.

“This…”

“Am I seeing things? Could this be the true strength of the masked man? What he displayed earlier was all a lie?”

In the area near the willow tree king on the island, the few people who were preparing to sit back and reap the rewards were dumbfounded.

Among these people was Ye Jianyuan from the Myriad Phenomena Sect. They were all at the third stage of the warrior realm. Previously, because Lu Zhenshan had not appeared for a long time, they were not in any hurry to attack the willow tree king.

They had thought that when the masked man faced Lu Zhenshan, he would be in a sorry state from the chase. His greatest use would be to exhaust Lu Zhenshan and restrain him in the upcoming battle with the willow tree king.

However, the situation was completely different now. The masked man's aura had the absolute upper hand, and it was like a meteorite falling from the sky.

Lu Zhenshan had instead become the one fleeing, and did not dare to fight him head-on.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Three consecutive tremors shook the entire Mist Island.

Lu Zhenshan's Five Labors and Seven Wounds Fist was not completely useless. The three swords formed from internal force missed and stabbed into the ground instead.

However, the longsword formed by the nine rocks perfectly replicated the powerful impact described in the concept diagram of the meteors.

Every strike was like a meteorite falling to the ground, turning into a shockwave that swept through the entire island and was felt by all the willow tree roots.

At the same time, the ground cracked open, creating countless ravines. Countless tree roots were broken into several pieces as a result.

The dust that filled the sky turned into a sandstorm, and the thick mist that covered Mist Island was blown away. The rainforest on the ground was also not spared, and it was completely unable to withstand the impact from the shock wave.

Lu Zhenshan, who was in the midst of fighting the masked man, saw the destructive power formed by the three swords from the corner of his eye as he retreated.

The destructive power was too strong!

This was almost like a technique made for war!

His Five Labors and Seven Wounds Fist mainly targeted the human body. On the surface, its destructive power was far inferior to this.

In addition, his internal force could not be used so extravagantly in a fight between people of the same level. If he wanted to cause such destructive power, he would probably have to use up a tenth of his internal force all at once.

To Lu Zhenshan, this was too wasteful. He had never considered it.

“You're still running? Three swords aren't enough. Let's see where you can hide when I use nine swords,”

Chen Yiming said in a low voice. He took a deep breath and activated the internal force in his body.

In an instant, he used his internal force to form nine perfect swords, which made him feel a slight sense of fatigue. Fortunately, after the attacks from the nine swords ended, his internal force would already have recovered to its full capacity, so he did not have to worry too much.

As soon as he finished speaking, the nine swords lined up above his head.

Every sword was the same as before. Carrying the impact of falling from the sky, they shot out so quickly that it seemed as if they were teleporting from one place to another.

Lu Zhenshan's expression finally changed drastically.

Where did this monster come from?

Wasn't he afraid that he would die from using so much internal force?

Could this person's internal force capacity be as large as the sea?

An inexhaustible supply?

Countless questions popped up in his mind, but no one could answer them.

He gritted his teeth and unleashed three consecutive internal force attacks from his fist. This was the limit of what his body could withstand. If he used too much internal force, he would suffer from internal injuries.

It was three against nine, and he was definitely outnumbered. He would definitely not be able to block all the swords.

And the situation was exactly like this.

Three bursts of internal force from his fist blocked four of the long swords, causing them to deviate from their intended direction. Lu Zhenshan then used his movement technique to dodge two more long swords.

He could not dodge the last three swords. He could only use his internal force to defend himself.

“Boom!”

On the island, it was as though a volcano had erupted.

The part of the island around the valley ruins was completely separated from the rest of the island. However, due to the willow tree king's huge roots, it was still in a semi-detached state.

“Ahhh!”

Accompanying the groundbreaking tremors, Lu Zhenshan's scream rang out.

The internal force from the Five Labors and Seven Wounds Fist was at the mid-to-low level of defense among those of the same level. Even though he was desperately repairing his internal force defense, it was still full of spiderweb-like cracks.

Usually, offense was the best defense.

Although Lu Zhenshan's protective internal force was not completely broken, a small portion of the impact from the longsword still hit his body through his defense.
