I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Chapter 86 – Tense Situation (I)

Chapter 86 Tense Situation (I)

“Seems like you want to do this the hard way.” Xie Quan raised his right fist, an arrogant expression on his face.

Crack, crack…

His entire arm suddenly became a size bigger, and blue veins bulged out on the surface of his skin.

In particular, the muscles on each of his shoulders swelled into a ball, just like a piece of shoulder armor.

“You want to fight?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise.

“In my opinion, you're Liu Wanqing's accomplice and are trying to help her hide the truth.” Xie Quan sneered. “I wonder if a core disciple like you, who is about to be thrown out, can withstand it?”

He took half a step forward and gathered all his strength into his right fist. With the sound of rushing wind, he threw a punch forward.

He could hit him from a distance of more than a meter with just a punch.

“Bang!” A loud sound rang out.

Xie Quan's fist was firmly caught by a hand.

The size of the hand was clearly smaller than the fist, but the five fingers were gripping onto the fist tightly just like an eagle's claws.

Xie Quan subconsciously retracted his arm, but he realized that he could not move his fist. In terms of strength, he had actually lost.

“You… didn't you just break through to the sixth transformation? How can this be?” Xie Quan's eyes widened in shock.

He had already undergone six transformations, and his cultivation technique was the Tongbeiquan Fist, which specialized in strength, but he had lost in a head-on clash.

There was only one possibility. The other party had broken through to the seventh transformation in a short period of time.

“Can't I continue breaking through after just breaking through?” Chen Yiming asked calmly, his hand still clenched tightly around the fist.

Xie Quan's face turned red when he heard this. However, he was not as strong as his opponent, and he could not find a reason to refute him.

“You have to think carefully. Do you really want to protect Liu Wanqing?” Gao Xuelong suddenly said.

He was not like Xie Quan, who would fight upon the slightest disagreement.

The first reason was that Chen Yiming had been one of the victims and had almost died in the beast tide.

The second was that they were all core disciples of the martial arts schools. They would not really dare to kill him on the spot. However, if they beat him up, they would only create a grudge between them for no good reason. It was not worth it.

“I didn't say that. Don't push the blame on me.” Chen Yiming released his grip and lowered his hand, leaving the fist where it was, less than half a meter away from his face.

“If you can't tell us what happened, then don't blame us for our suspicions. Do you think you can hide the matter between you and Liu Wanqing?” Gao Xuelong said bluntly. His words seemed to be calm and rational, but there was a hint of a threat in them.

“Are you referring to the matter of receiving the house? How laughable. At our level, how difficult can it be to get a house?

If this is all you have for evidence, I think you just wanted to find someone to pin the blame on, right?” Chen Yiming said slowly.

“Anyway, you have to think about it carefully. Every dog has its day. You can be stubborn now, since we can't do anything about it.

But when Lin Yixuan officially takes over the school, will you still be as unyielding as you are now?” Xie Quan took a deep breath and thought a little before retorting coldly. “If you have the time to chat with me, why don't you find out where Liu Wanqing is as soon as possible?

I've already made myself clear. If you still don't believe me, go and verify it for yourself,” Chen Yiming crossed his arms in front of his chest and said calmly.

He had already learned from their previous conversation that Liu Wanqing had not returned to East Lake City at all. Instead, she must have fled somewhere to hide.

Otherwise, the two martial arts schools would not have rushed over to ask him about the situation.

It was very likely that other than him and Liu Wanqing, Zhao Yifeng, Meng Tai, and Liu Daoyuan had all died in the mountain range.

“You'll regret this.”

Seeing that they could not get anything concrete out of him, Xie Quan and Gao Xuelong quickly turned around and left.

Chen Yiming fell into deep thought as he watched the two of them leave.

“If I want to live peacefully, I have to use the purple lightning stones as an excuse for my cultivation progress. I have to get another batch of the stones and pretend that I used them to break through to the ninth transformation successfully.

At that time, even if the two martial arts schools found out that I had left them in the lurch, they would not be able to do anything about it.

When hunting mutant beasts in the wilderness, there are too many situations where a team would split up after encountering an enemy that they could not defeat.

If you want to blame someone, blame those two for being too weak. Neither of them should stand on the moral high ground and demand others to help.”

The next day, in the Wang clan's village, “I haven't been here for a long time.” Chen Yiming and Wang Bowen strolled along the streets of the village.

Many villagers from the Wang clan stopped in their tracks and looked at Chen Yiming curiously.

Chen Yiming became famous overnight, and his name spread throughout the martial arts world of East Lake City.

His name was announced to be on the list of those who had died in the beast tide. His family also thought that he was really dead and had already built a tomb for him.

However, after almost a week, he returned alive.

“When I received the news about the beast tide, I immediately set off for the Nuhe Mountain Range.

I searched the outskirts of the mountain range, but there was no sign of you.

At that time, I deduced that there was a high chance that you had already successfully escaped. I was right after all,” Wang Bowen said with a smile.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Wang. I made you worry for nothing,” Chen Yiming said apologetically.

“It's alright. There's no need for the two of us to be so polite to each other. However, you have to be careful during this period and try not to leave the city,” Wang Bowen said directly.

“Will those two martial arts schools attack me?” Chen Yiming asked in confusion.

He could think of no reason for the blame to fall to him.

When disaster struck, everyone would escape on their own. Most of the people caught in the beast tide would have made the same choice.

Besides, he was also one of the victims.

“That might not be the case, but you should try to keep a low profile and not hang around outside too openly. Otherwise, if you encounter someone with a bad temper, they might vent their anger on you,” Wang Bowen explained, “What I want to talk about is the beast tide. Do you really think that the beast tide will end just like that?”

“Why?” Chen Yiming asked.

The mother beast had already been killed by him, and it had been eaten by him until only its skeleton was left.

Could it revive and cause another beast tide to take revenge on him?

“The information about the source of this beast tide has been spreading among the top factions in East Lake City for a while. It was caused by a mysterious person fighting a giant blazing sun lizard that came to the blue planet to lay its eggs,” Wang Bowen said calmly.

“Oh? And then?” Chen Yiming's interest was piqued.

He wanted to know how much the others knew about his battle with the mother beast.

During the week he had spent in front of the cave, he had not been completely unprepared. However, unexpectedly, no one had come to the scene to check.

“The problem lies with that mysterious person. It's said that the giant lizard had just given birth to its eggs, and that person directly killed the mother beast.

The giant blazing sun lizards live in groups in the otherworld. They would leave the group just for a short period of time to lay their eggs. The next beast tide might come soon, and the scale of the beast tide will definitely be much larger than this one.” Wang Bowen raised his eyebrows.

“I understand. No wonder you told me not to leave the city.” Chen Yiming nodded.

According to Wang Bowen, there was a high chance that a second beast tide would occur.

If he still insisted on leaving the city despite knowing this, it would definitely arouse suspicion. After all, the strength he displayed on the surface was still too weak to deal with this risk.
