I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Chapter 312 – Post–War Report

Zhou Yong was Liu Wenjun's communications officer. He had a well-proportioned figure and walked with his head held high. He looked to be in his twenties and was full of energy.

Chen Yiming and Zhou Yong arrived at the seaside and saw the limbs of the sea monsters floating messily on the surface of the sea. Some distance away, there were aquatic mutant beasts that quickly jumped out of the water to grab at pieces of the sea monsters' bodies before escaping far away.

If not for the fact that there were many sea monster parts and the temptation was too great, the aquatic mutant beasts would not have dared to approach the battlefield after such a short time.

Chen Yiming could vaguely sense a pair of eyes observing the coast from within the endless sea. It was very likely that it was the king of the sea monsters or some powerful mutant beast from the bottom of the sea.

However, since they were dozens of kilometers away, it was difficult to pinpoint their exact location. Even if Chen Yiming rushed over immediately, it would be easy for the other party to hide.

As expected, the other party seemed to have sensed something and the gaze from the deep sea disappeared.

“The probability of it being a sea monster is high. It shouldn't be a problem!” Chen Yiming muttered to himself.

Seeing this, Zhou Yong wanted to ask about it but did not dare to.

Chen Yiming continued, “If your Division Commander Liu asks about this later, tell him that the threat of the sea monster has been eliminated.”

“Yes!” Zhou Yong's mind was in a mess when he heard this, and he replied loudly.

Soon, the two of them returned to the camp from the beach.

Previously, part of the camp had been destroyed by the water beam spat out by the sea monster. After some emergency repairs, other than some traces of damage, the camp had basically been rebuilt.

“Communications Officer Zhou, you're back! The sea monster…”

Seeing that Zhou Yong was not alone and that there was an unfamiliar young man beside him, the voice stopped.

Chen Yiming swept his gaze across the camp and saw dozens of people gathered there. Their auras weren't weak, and the biggest difference from the surrounding soldiers was that they weren't wearing military uniforms.

“Zhou Yong, aren't you going to introduce us?”

A woman with a hot figure smiled as she turned her gaze from Zhou Yong to Chen Yiming.

Zhou Yong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and introduced them to Chen Yiming. “They are the leaders, sect masters, and bosses of the large martial arts factions in East Sea province. The sea monsters have come ashore from the southern sea. Everyone, quickly send reinforcements over from the other areas in East Sea province.”

After a pause, he introduced him to everyone. “Everyone might have only heard of his name but never seen him in person. This is Chen Yiming, the new martial master from Jiangnan province in the Daxia Kingdom.”

“Welcome! Welcome!”

A round of applause rang out in the camp. Everyone had already guessed the young man's true identity and wanted to get to know him.

Li Peilan smiled, her eyes burning.

She was the woman with the hot figure who had taken the initiative to speak.

In addition, the reason she was the first to react was that she had participated in the fight for the willow tree cores on the island.

The masked man appeared for the first time in East Lake City and became famous after the battle on Mist Island. He suppressed the sect masters of many large sects and then disappeared without a trace. After that, a martial master appeared from East Lake City.

A line could be drawn from these clues. The masked man and Chen Yiming were the same person. On the surface, no one dared to say anything, but in private, it was no longer a secret.

However, she did not expect to get to know a legendary figure on such an occasion. It was really difficult for her to remain calm.

To her, Chen Yiming's speed of breaking through was like a rocket soaring into the sky. It was something she could only dream of achieving.

However, the other party was extremely young. It was said that he was not even 20 years old and had only stepped onto the path of martial arts for less than two years.

In comparison, she suddenly felt that she was extremely mediocre. Her 10 years of bitter cultivation had been wasted.

The applause lasted for more than a minute, but there was no sign of it stopping. No one wanted to be the first to stop.

Chen Yiming turned away from the crowd and instructed Zhou Yong to bid farewell to Division Commander Liu for him. Only then did the applause gradually stop.

“The difference in strength is too great. There's no basis for peaceful communication,” he thought to himself.

The smiles on the faces of the people in front of him were a little stiff. They did not dare to say anything rash, and even if they did speak, they would say something polite. It was all just meaningless conversation.

“Sir, we met once on Mist Island. Do you remember me?”

The atmosphere in the camp was a little awkward. Seeing that Chen Yiming was about to leave, Li Peilan walked over to get close to him.

“Cough, cough!” Chen Yiming's face almost turned red as he quickly coughed to hide his embarrassment.

As the masked man, he had done some shameful things in his early days. For example, he had forcefully taken someone else's wife, forcefully taken the items obtained by the Kunshan Sect from the auction, and sneaked into other sects to steal their cultivation techniques…

Of course, as he became a martial master, all these things seemed to have turned into smoke and disappeared. The Jiangnan provincial government pretended that nothing had happened. At most, people would only dare to discuss it in private.

This was the first time he had seen someone as straightforward as Li Peilan.

“Rumor has it that a team of maritime explorers saw an island filled with sea monsters…”

Li Peilan had achieved her goal and took the initiative to change the topic.

Chen Yiming looked at the woman. She had big breasts and a perky butt. She was wearing a tight-fitting bra and a pair of shorts, revealing her firm waistline.

However, he had never seen her on the trip to Mist Island. It was also possible that the other party was just a small fry and had not participated in any real battles.

He stared at the deep groove in the other party's chest. He took in the sight as payment for making him feel awkward. Then, he said, “An unfamiliar island on the sea? Can it only be seen in the distance and its exact location cannot be determined?”

“Regardless of whether this is true or not, it's too far from the capital of the Daxia Kingdom. It's meaningless to make a move. Besides, the threat of the treants has yet to be completely resolved. How can we have the time to start a war with the sea monsters?”

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Even the communications officer, Zhou Yong, held his breath. They thought it over repeatedly.

The Southeast Asian countries that were being ravaged by the sea monsters were not far from East Sea province. They only needed to put in some extra effort to deter the sea monsters, just like what had happened earlier.

From their reaction, Chen Yiming realized that he had revealed his thoughts.

However, he did not care. When he returned to Jiangnan province, the news would quickly spread and be interpreted freely by various parties.

The reason was that there were times when the difference between them and the martial masters was like the difference between heaven and earth. The Sam Nation's Rover was completely held back in the Daxia Kingdom. Even if the small and medium-sized countries in Southeast Asia knew about it, it was a separate matter whether they dared to condemn him.

Furthermore, the possibility of an energy mine made Chen Yiming extremely excited. It was easy to find an excuse not to help with this problem.

“…”

When the topic turned to the level of the entire country, Li Peilan immediately lost her composure and fell silent.

For those who had not reached a certain level, it would be a disaster if they knew too much. There would be endless trouble coming their way in the future.

Seeing this, Chen Yiming knew that this woman had chickened out. For some reason, he felt secretly pleased with himself. He continued to chat about his opinion of the war against the treants.

As everyone listened, their expressions changed. Even the surrounding guards held their breaths as quietly as possible, unwilling to miss a single word.

The same words would have a different impact on different people. Coincidentally, Chen Yiming was the one who could influence the situation of the country with just his words and actions.

He took the initiative to talk about the war with the treants. Perhaps this was the direction the wind would blow in the future, just like the development of the stronghold in the otherworld.

Everyone had their own thoughts about such a huge piece of news. For example, Zhou Yong, the communications officer, only wanted to report the news as soon as possible.

Another example was some people who were already thinking that they had to leave for Jiangnan province as soon as possible.

There were also some people who had no intention of getting involved and were thinking about how to use it to exchange for benefits with others at the right time.

Chen Yiming deliberately released the news that he might take the initiative to attack the treants. After talking for nearly 10 minutes, he found an excuse to leave the camp.

Zhou Yong left with Chen Yiming, leaving everyone else looking at each other.

After a while, someone sighed. “Is this the power of a martial master?”

Someone at the side let out a long breath. “The big picture…”

On the news station in East Sea province, a beautiful announcer could not hide the excitement on her face as she reported the latest situation in the southern sea.

“News from the front says that the sea monsters that came ashore have been wiped out…”

After reading the script, pictures of the scene appeared on the screen. The sea was dyed red with blood, and it was calm and silent. Broken limbs could be seen floating everywhere.

The countless people who were gathered in the central cities of East Sea province, whether they were at home, in the squares, or in the shopping malls, were all watching the news.

Seeing this scene, most of the people jumped up and cheered loudly. They shouted until their voices were hoarse and their faces were red.

At the same time, the entire city was in an uproar. The streets, residential districts, and wide squares were completely blocked. Their field of view was filled with people celebrating the victory over the sea monsters.

Some time ago, the coastlines of Southeast Asia had been breached by sea monsters. This news frightened everyone, and they were afraid that the East Sea province, which was separated from the mainland, would suffer the same fate.

Countless people had fled from the cities near the sea. Previously, they had been suppressing their emotions, but now, they were extremely excited. They were glad that they were born in the powerful Daxia Kingdom and not some small country.

The scene changed, and two old experts walked up.

“Hello, experts!”

“Hello, announcer!”

The announcer greeted them and turned to introduce two old experts to the audience. One was doing research on the marine environment, and the other was doing research on marine life.

The two old experts spoke in unison and praised Chen Yiming for his strength.

Then, they presented a few captured battle scenes to the camera. After playing them for the camera, they returned and analyzed them one by one.

“What!”

Countless people in the audience who were still watching the news gasped.

The sea was the ultimate force of nature in people's minds. For example, when the sea moved slightly, a tsunami rushed up the coast, and everything along the way was destroyed.

But now, it was being easily crushed by a single person. A white light easily changed the shape of the sea. A huge wave that was 1,000 meters tall was shattered with a single punch…

After analyzing the battle scenes, the topic changed.

“Have the sea monsters only retreated temporarily?”

“Will the sea monsters dare to make a comeback?”

“Does East Sea province have the ability to deal with the sea monsters?”

The two old experts gave their analysis of the sea monsters' behavior from the habits of the sea monster as a sea creature, the special environment of the sea that was different from land, the conflict between humans and the sea monsters, and so on.

In the end, they concluded that although there might be sea monsters occasionally appearing in the surrounding sea, the situation of a large number of sea monsters coming ashore in East Sea province would not happen again.

Chen Yiming, who had left the camp, didn't return to his previous resting spot. Instead, he walked along the surface of the sea for about 100 kilometers.

He tried to track the sea monster for a while, but the bottom of the sea was different from on land. The sea monster did not leave any traces, so he found an unknown island to settle down on.

The island was less than a kilometer wide. Other than some rocks and trees, there was only damp mud. There were no mutant beasts on the island.

“It's time to leave after intimidating the sea monster again,” he muttered to himself and transformed into a 100-meter-tall giant. Then, he sat cross-legged in the middle of the island and began to practice the cultivation technique of the giants.

The clouds in the sky were originally very quiet, but suddenly, vortexes began to stir the entire sky. An invisible barrier covered the entire island, including a large area of the sea.

Although Chen Yiming controlled all the pressure to focus on himself, the scene of the abnormal phenomenon and the huge aura coming from the sky still spread far and wide.

The underwater creatures living around the island fought to escape from the vicinity. They only stopped again when they were dozens of kilometers away.

In the data processing center of the military camp, the staff were so busy that they did not even have time to take a sip of water. The machine was also running at full capacity, and paper filled with data kept coming out of the printer.

“This… this is too much!”

A staff member put together a few pieces of data and got the results from the corresponding analysis. He could not help but curse under his breath.

“Brother Zhang, what's wrong?”

Another staff member asked without turning his head as he focused on what he was doing.

“If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it at all. The energy fluctuation from that arrow was greater than a nuclear explosion.

Moreover, this isn't just a little bigger. From the data, it's on a completely different level. Other than radiation, the energy level of a nuclear explosion is much weaker.”

“Are your eyes playing tricks on you?” a female staff member asked doubtfully, “The energy intensity of nuclear bombs and attacks from the master realm has always been equivalent. The difference in strength is fixed in the same range, so the difference won't be too great.”

“You don't believe me? Then come over and help me check if there are any mistakes in my analysis.”

There was no hesitation in his words. He firmly believed that he had made no mistakes.

“Brother Zhang, we have a lot of things to do! Aren't you making things difficult for us?” someone said.

Actually, everyone was tempted, but the military officer had urged them to analyze the report after the battle. If they delayed the important matters at hand, those who were slow would not only have to write a self-reflection letter, but might also be punished.

As staff members of the data processing center, they could check the information at any time, so everyone was still doing what they needed to do.

“Alright! Alright! Alright! I'll make a copy for each of you. Take some time to read it when you have the time.” The person called Brother Zhang cursed.

Soon, more than 10 copies of the data were placed on the desks of the others.

“Thank you, Brother Zhang!” Everyone thanked him in unison.

Those who could work in the military's data processing center were not only talented in martial arts, but also had extraordinary intelligence. Those who were not intelligent would not be able to take on this job.

They used the downtime when binding the reports and while the machines were printing out the data to take a few glances at it and analyze it in their hearts.

10 minutes later, “Eh? It seems…”

Half an hour later, “Tsk! Could it be that the data collected is wrong?”

Many people's expectations were broken. Then, they put down what they were doing and picked up the data report beside them to analyze it.

“This data seems to show that it was stronger than what we saw,” a staff member exclaimed.

“Of course. You, me, and him are all newbies in martial arts. We only have a little cultivation experience. We're not those martial arts experts, so how can we judge accurately with our naked eyes?” Brother Zhang muttered.

“Not many people in the entire Daxia Kingdom can reach the level of those martial arts experts you mentioned,” someone retorted.

“Hey! We got off topic. This isn't the important thing now, but…” Brother Zhang frowned and reminded him.

However, before he could finish speaking, footsteps sounded from outside.

The frequency of the footsteps was much higher than usual. The staff of the data processing center could tell from the sound that they were here to rush them for the report after the battle.

Therefore, the dozen or so people quickly stopped their discussion and busied themselves with the tasks at hand.
