I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Chapter 288

Published at 1st of September 2022 07:50:23 AM

In the later half of the night, the three glowing balls overhead shone with a silver light.

Chen Yiming was sitting alone on the roof of a tall building. After a few hours of fighting with the creatures from the otherworld, Chen Yingying's performance had dropped drastically, and he had sent her back to the camp to rest.

Noise traveled over from the restaurants in the stronghold from time to time. Some people who were still observing the situation called their friends over to have a drink together.

Thinking that the people charging towards the rocky plains would have almost reached their destination, he communicated with the figure in his mind.

Chen Yiming: How's the situation?

The figure in his mind: It's all going smoothly.

Chen Yiming: Didn't it attract the attention of any powerful creatures?

The figure in his mind: I killed a few of them. After that, it was very peaceful.

Chen Yiming: Then let's follow the plan.

The figure in his mind: Yes.

Next, Chen Yiming, who had nothing to do, lay down on the roof and stared at the three glowing balls overhead that looked like full moons. He was like a person who stayed home all day because he had lost confidence in his job.

The frequency of the system notifications increased a lot.

“Skill points +1”

“Skill points +1”

“Skill points +1”

The rocky plains were a gathering place for creatures from the otherworld. Compared to the damp wasteland near the stronghold, there were many more otherworld creatures. The spiritual figure was able to help Chen Yiming obtain Skill Points even faster.

He glanced at the system interface.

Chen Yiming

Talent: Undying Body — Level 2

Level: Half-step to Master Realm

Physique: Basic Undying Body

Sword Spirit

Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 4

Level: Master Realm

Physique: Intermediate Sword Body

Skill points: 323

“I have enough Skill Points to add a third talent.”

Chen Yiming sighed.

Ever since he had the idea of adding a third talent, he had been reading up on the transformation talents several times over the past few days.

In fact, he had already made his choice. He was just waiting for the Skill Points to meet the requirements.

He had first eliminated the non-human transformation talents, such as the dragon, demon, roc, five-colored deer… The main reason was that he did not want to become a monster.

Most of them were eliminated very quickly, leaving behind only the giant, ape god, dragon man, and the ice man…

Among the remaining choices, the giant's transformation affected one's size, while the ape god, the dragon man, and the ice man would not just affect one's size, but also one's appearance.

“The talent added later is even more difficult to level up. So I will still have to depend mostly on the first and second talent.”

Chen Yiming examined his situation again and decided to use his third talent as support.

This way, the giant became his only choice. After obtaining the transformative power, he could still retain his appearance to the greatest extent.

After thinking it through, he thought to himself, “I'll add the Giant Talent.”

The system interface lit up with a golden light.

Chen Yiming

Talent: Undying Body — Level 2, Giant — Level 1

Level: Master Realm

Physique: Basic Undying Giant Body

Sword Spirit

Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 4

Level: Master Realm

Physique: Intermediate Sword Body

Skill points: 23

“Uh… I broke through to the master realm. Did my new physique automatically make it happen?”

Chen Yiming's eyes widened and he sat up.

He checked his entire body. It seemed that only his lower body had grown a little thicker. Other than that, he did not find any other parts of his body that had transformed.

Chen Yiming heaved a sigh of relief and closed his eyes, trying to explore the new power in his body.

The Giant Talent was like a seed that was planted in every cell in his body. It was a mysterious power.

In an instant, Chen Yiming's height increased to more than three meters, and he was about to become the size of a mountain.

“Stop! Stop! Stop!”

His consciousness hurriedly shouted to suppress the mysterious power that was bringing about changes to his body.

In the end, he stopped it when his body was just over three meters tall and did not continue to grow larger. He went from well-proportioned to a super burly man.

At this moment, it was as if there were small rats under his muscles. His veins were bulging, and his arms were about three times thicker than before.

Chen Yiming felt that there was an unfathomable power in his body and had the urge to release all of it.

This was many times stronger than the golden internal force formed by fusing 12 types of internal force with his strength-based internal force.

Chen Yiming instantly understood that giants specialized in their brute force.

The only awkward thing was that his underwear had broken apart into many pieces. Fortunately, his pants were loose-fitting and had remained intact.

He suppressed the desire for destruction in his heart. His entire body trembled, and the torn cloth turned into dust. He continued to carefully explore the other changes.

Suddenly, streams of air started to surround his body. Then, the clouds in the sky responded to Chen Yiming's call and started to fall under his control. As long as he wanted to, he could use the power of the clouds.

“Eh? The surrounding houses look like they are about to collapse?”

He sensed the changes in the surrounding environment when he used the power of the master realm, and quickly stopped using the power of the clouds.

“How should I describe it? It's a force similar to a gravitational field, like a huge lid falling from the sky. The giants rely on their powerful strength to nullify this, but their opponents would be affected and be suppressed by the giants instead.”

Chen Yiming understood that he could rely on his Giant Talent to borrow the power of nature after just breaking through to the master realm.

When transforming into a giant during a fight, one's foundation was still their own powerful strength. The power of the clouds was only used as support.

At 9 am, the shops selling daily necessities in the stronghold opened one after another.

Chen Yiming walked into a shop that sold undergarments. He planned to buy a few more sets for emergency use.

“Welcome!”

The lady boss greeted him with a smile.

“Bring me 10 of those.”

Chen Yiming pointed at a pair of patterned boxers.

In his previous life, he had bought his undergarments online. After he transmigrated, Mother Chen had prepared them for him. This was the first time he had entered a shop that specialized in selling undergarments.

Most of the undergarments were for women. Even though he was already experienced, he was still a little embarrassed to look at them openly.

“Wait a moment.”

The lady boss smiled and turned to enter the storeroom.

Her perky butt swayed left and right as she walked. He could not help but take a second look, but quickly looked away.

“It's all because of the Giant Talent that increased my body's power. I have to restrain myself!”

Chen Yiming thought to himself.

It was unknown if it was because he was too energetic or because he was affected by the Giant Talent, but he felt that if someone provoked him, the blood in his body would surge over and would need to be released.

A little over a minute later.

“Handsome, do you need to buy anything else? For example, some clothes for your girlfriend…”

The lady boss walked over with a wrapped paper bag. Her gaze seemed to contain the light of spring, and there was something seductive in it.

In the stronghold, more than half of the people were at the disciple realm. These people did not have internal force to protect themselves, and their clothes would inevitably be damaged in battle. Therefore, the shop's business was exceptionally good.

The lady boss viewed each customer who entered the shop as a moving moneybag, so she naturally had to make full use of her charm.

“No need.”

Chen Yiming rejected her firmly. He took the paper bag from the lady boss, which contained 10 pairs of underwear. After paying with his contribution points, he turned around and walked out of the shop.

The lady boss's voice came from behind him. “Come again next time.”

At the gate of Jiangdu City,

It was past 10 am, and the sun was shining brightly. The sun was scorching the ground, and the air had become unusually hot.

There were long queues at each of the four city gates, and a large number of merchants were selling food and drink. Unlike before, the four long queues were almost not moving.

The city was packed with people. Every once in a while, after the train set off, a portion of the people would be allowed to enter the city.

The information about the rocky plains in the otherworld had spread throughout Jiangnan province the night before, then out of the province, causing an unprecedented commotion.

Jiangdu City, a large city in the Jiangnan province, suddenly could not withstand the huge influx of people into the city and had no choice but to restrict entry.

A few students from the martial arts academy were in the queue and had started to chat when they were bored.

“Some time ago, I happened to register for a warrior training class. With the guidance of a teacher in the true warrior realm, I feel that I have improved greatly. With the gains from going to the otherworld, I might be able to successfully break through to the warrior realm in one go,”

a thin student patted his chest and bragged.

“Stop bragging. Don't you know that my family is in the wholesale business? All the people in Jiangnan province who are doing business related to martial arts cultivation are lowering their prices. Even if your journey is smooth sailing, how much can you pick up?”

The short and fat student beside him chuckled and coldly revealed the truth of the situation.

“Stop daydreaming. The first group of people took action overnight. With our strength, unless we are willing to take the risk, we are probably just going there to join in the fun,”

a tall student added.

The thin student said stubbornly, “What's there to be afraid of? Aren't they just creatures from the otherworld? I've already checked the relevant information. There will definitely be people who will deal with the stronger ones. We just have to be careful.”

In the end, as if to encourage himself, he continued, “In short, I have to break through to the warrior realm.”

The development of the otherworld had already become the most popular topic. Even the martial arts academies in the major cities were no exception. Many students were unwilling to stay in the academy and cultivate step by step, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to fight for a future.

At the edge of the rocky plains, about 100 kilometers away from the stronghold, at this moment, the beautiful plains had been destroyed by a group of trespassers. The ground seemed to have been plowed through by them.

There were some things that the creatures from the otherworld did not care for, such as medicinal herbs and strange stones. However, it was different for humans. Holes had been dug everywhere, and there were also traces of blood from the otherworld creatures.

Wherever the group of nearly 100,000 humans passed, almost everything of any value was looted.

Of course, this was only the periphery of the stronghold, so it was not dangerous for the humans who were moving as a group.

On the distant horizon, battles broke out from time to time. The roars of the stone golems shook the surroundings. One could vaguely see a rain of swords falling from the sky, but it quickly calmed down.

Only the military and large factions dared to enter the depths of the battlefield alone. Most of the other humans remained at the edge of the battlefield, waiting for the situation to calm down.

In the depths of the rocky plains, in an area that had been attacked by the Sword Aura, the streams of light coming from the body of a stone golem that the size of a small mountain quickly disappeared. Various parts of its body turned into rubble and fell to the ground. The ground shook violently, and finally, a pile of rubble formed.

In the sky, a figure flew past. A gemstone-like energy core flew into the sky from the rubble. The figure caught it and left.

A 30-meter-long snake was buried in the rubble. Its body was stiff, and it held its breath, not moving at all. It did not even dare to flick its tongue.

The scene of the rain of swords destroying everything in its path had deeply shocked the giant snake.

The giant snake was originally hidden in the shadow of a stone mountain. At that time, it had seen with its own eyes that the stone mountain had turned into a stone golem and was fighting a powerful creature that was charging straight at it.

However, as the strongest race in the rocky plains, the stone golem was easily shattered by the Sword Aura. The special abilities of its species, which was known for its defense, was broken like a piece of paper.

The giant snake was trembling. Fortunately, it was not affected by any of the Sword Aura attacks. In fact, to the spiritual figure, the giant snake was too weak and there was no value in fighting it, so it did not even look at it.

Ever since the stone golems occupied this place, it had been a long time since such a tragic conflict had occurred on the rocky plains.

It was so long ago that all kinds of creatures from the otherworld had reproduced in this place, and they did not remember what it was like before the stone golems occupied it.

The rain of swords from an unknown powerful creature that had almost never stopped was like a massacre. For the time being, there were no powerful stone golems that could stop the other party.

Not long after, the giant snake felt that it should be safe, so it shook off the rocks on its body and stuck its head out of the rubble.

These rocks were originally a part of the stone golem's body, but the stone golem was already dead. Without the support of the energy core, these were no different from ordinary rocks.

However, it was soon discovered by hundreds of humans riding on the road a few kilometers away.

“Another suitable target has appeared.”

“This stupid snake, why isn't it running? Who is it trying to scare?”

“This is too good. I'm just taking advantage of the situation.”

“Tsk! I'm already starting to imagine myself drinking snake blood.”

The cavalrymen from the Expedition Corporation erupted into enthusiastic cheers. Every one of them had a strong fighting spirit and swore to make use of the war and not waste this once-in-lifetime opportunity.

Along the way, they had encountered too many similar situations. The creatures from the otherworld, which were equivalent to the peak of the warrior realm, had long been killed by the rain of swords. Those left behind were all in the hunting range of the group.

“Charge!”

The leader, Zhang Jun, let out a loud shout and led the charge on his black panther. He held his black spear in an attack stance, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the giant snake at any moment.

Behind him, along with their warhorses, the cavalrymen in black armor also charged at the giant snake.

The giant snake raised its head high, and a murderous glint appeared in its eyes. Its tongue darted in and out, and from time to time, it would spit out a poisonous fog formed by its internal force, warning the other party not to approach.

However, it was all in vain. In the blink of an eye, his head was nailed to the ground by the black spear.

Zhang Jun's hand trembled, and he retracted his black spear. The corpse of the giant snake fell to the ground, emitting a terrifying aura, causing many warhorses to stop in their tracks.

This giant snake was showing signs of undergoing a transformation towards the fusion of internal force. It was also quite valuable to someone at the peak of the warrior realm. The snake gallbladder could be used to make pills to remove the poison that had accumulated in one's body over the years.

However, on the blue planet, creatures at the level of the giant snake were not easy to find. Furthermore, they were often found in the gathering place of mutant beasts. Even Zhang Jun did not dare to barge into the gathering place of those mutant beasts.

It was unlike the rocky plains where there were too many creatures at the level of the giant snake, which could be easily killed by others.

The snake gallbladder belonged to Zhang Jun, and the snake blood and meat belonged to the cavalrymen. This had been decided from the start.

Before long, hundreds of cavalry soldiers had split the snake blood among themselves. Each of them drank to their heart's content. Some of them even accidentally got their faces covered in blood, so they had no choice but to wipe their faces clean with the weeds on the ground. In the end, they even swallowed the weeds in order not to waste a single drop.

The snake meat was divided into pieces, and those who had mastered the fire attribute internal force roasted them on the spot.

There were hundreds of people, but each of them could get a decent share. However, all of them were big eaters, and it did not take long for the giant snake to become a pile of bones.
