I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 104: Announcement (II)

“Am I seeing things? Was Lin Yixuan sent flying by a single punch?” Xia Yingzhe whispered as he turned towards the three people beside him who were in a daze.

“Indeed. I really can’t believe that this is Chen Yiming.” Zhao Yunrong nodded as he finally reacted.

The two of them had only met Chen Yiming a few times. On the surface, they were fellow disciples, but actually, they weren’t close at all.

In their impression, their junior brother should be the weakest among all the core disciples.

Now, it was obvious that Chen Yiming was also a warrior candidate. The difference was too great, and it was difficult to accept in a short period of time.

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng said, “I remember that Junior Brother Chen has only joined the school for less than a year. With such talent, do you think…”

He did not spell it all out.

“No way. Master has already decided on Wan Ya and Lin Yixuan’s marriage…” Du Yuan said in surprise.

“If one is talented enough, everything can be bent to their will,” Zhang Xingfeng replied.

Wang Bowen and Teng Zhihui were also stunned.

They hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. They had been prepared to step in at any moment to prevent Lin Yixuan from dealing a heavy blow to Chen Yiming.

“Boom!”

After a few seconds of silence, another loud bang rang out in the storeroom.

Many neatly packed training robes, belts, and other miscellaneous items flew out and were scattered around the hall.

Lin Yixuan walked out of the storeroom with a dark expression.

At this moment, the black tie that he had used to tie his hair had fallen off. His long hair, which had been tied up in a high ponytail at the back of his head, had fallen to his shoulders.

For some reason, his training robe was drenched, and there were a few holes in it, revealing the tight-fitting singlet underneath.

“I didn’t expect you, who was the last to become a core disciple, to secretly break through to the realm of a warrior candidate,” Lin Yixuan said in a hoarse voice, “However, that sneak attack just now was your only chance.”

A killing intent appeared out of nowhere. When everyone present sensed it, they started to worry for Chen Yiming.

After all, even though Chen Yiming’s innate strength was extraordinary, his swordsmanship was far inferior to Lin Yixuan’s. Lin Yixuan had been favored and nurtured by Wan Rong since he was young.

They still didn’t think highly of Chen Yiming.

“Many people who have been killed by me have said similar things,” Chen Yiming replied, “Do you think you’re invincible among the warrior candidates?”

“Continue your sophistry. Let me show you what a true swordsman is, you boor,” Lin Yixuan suddenly said with a smile.

He moved his shoulders and felt a pain in his chest. He drew his sword and charged forward in an instant, arriving in front of Chen Yiming with just one step and stabbing his sword at him.

“Clang!”

The fatal strike was blocked by another sword.

“That’s it?” Chen Yiming asked sarcastically, a calm expression on his face.

“You’re courting death!” Lin Yixuan’s expression changed drastically.

Although he had also just broken through to a warrior candidate a few months ago, he was different from ordinary warrior candidates.

He did not deliberately go all out to break through to the realm of a warrior candidate. Instead, he had started to meditate and draw concept diagrams from very early on. Therefore, as soon as he broke through to the realm of a warrior candidate, he was announced to be the next head by Wan Rong.

His cultivation method was similar to Chen Yiming’s back then. He had tried to break through the last and most difficult hurdle between the disciple realm and the warrior realm before reaching the warrior candidate realm.

The difference was that Chen Yiming had completed the concept diagram after his sixth transformation.

Lin Yixuan was at the last step, and the drawing of the concept diagram was almost complete.

With his attack countered, Lin Yixuan quickly changed to a different tactic.

His figure began to become hard to follow, suddenly moving in different directions from time to time. It completely went against the habits of ordinary people.

This was a movement technique that Lin Yixuan rarely used in front of others. It was called Phantom Illusion Technique and was only used when he encountered an enemy he had difficulty dealing with. Chen Yiming belonged to this category.

From the moment he was sent flying, he understood that he was not a match for him in terms of pure force.

The two of them exchanged more than 10 blows at lightning speed.

Lin Yixuan’s figure kept appearing within a 10 meter radius of Chen Yiming. Lin Yixuan was trying to disrupt Chen Yiming’s rhythm and seize the opportunity to attack once he made a mistake.

Chen Yiming’s expression didn’t change from the start to the end. His feet didn’t move at all, and he simply defended himself on the same spot.

“Do you have any other moves? If not, it’s my turn,” Chen Yiming said calmly as he defended himself.

He felt no pressure at all, as though he was toying around with an amateur.

With Lin Yixuan’s level as a warrior candidate, the combination of the Mantis Snake Sword Technique and the Phantom Illusion Technique indeed had a complementary effect on each other.

If it was any other warrior candidate, they might not have been able to withstand the attack and Lin Yixuan would have found a weakness to exploit. However, Chen Yiming could easily see through all of his opponent’s attacks with his warrior-level vision.

“You asked for it. Don’t blame me if you die,” Lin Yixuan said seriously as he instantly retreated to create some distance.

With that, he took out a small bottle, threw out a pill, and swallowed it.

“Taking drugs?” Chen Yiming asked, perplexed. He wasn’t in a hurry to make a move.

“Are you afraid?” Lin Yixuan asked ferociously.

At this moment, his face was red and his expression carried a hint of madness. He no longer had the cold expression of a traditional handsome man.

After this exchange, the pill started to take effect.

Black lines spread out from Lin Yixuan’s chest and gradually covered his lower limbs. These black lines seemed to be rooted in his skin like tree roots, and an evil air appeared around him.

“This is a weakened version of internal force. It can greatly increase my speed.” Lin Yixuan was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he revealed the effect of the pill.

“…” Chen Yiming didn’t know how to reply.

When he first obtained the cultivation method for the concept diagram, he had also cultivated something similar using the abilities from his sixth transformation.

“Junior Brother Chen, it’s not just my speed that has increased greatly. You have to be careful not to make contact with the black lines,” Wang Bowen shouted anxiously. He knew how strong that power was, and that those from the disciple realm could not withstand it at all.

If he touched it, he would be severely injured at best and severely crippled at worst.

“It’s too late. Die.”

Lin Yixuan didn’t give Chen Yiming a chance to speak. His figure turned into a black shadow and charged forward.

His speed was much faster than before.

Previously, the core disciples who had undergone six or seven transformations could still barely make out what was going on. After the enhancement from the weakened version of the internal force, all they could see was a black shadow.

“Bang!”

A loud sound of a fist striking a body rang out as a figure was sent flying.

This time, the figure did not fly towards the storeroom. Instead, he flew towards the entrance of the martial arts school at an even faster speed.

“Crash!”

An entire piece of glass was shattered by the figure. Countless glass shards fell to the ground, and the metal door frame broke.

Lin Yixuan was sent flying again after using the weakened version of internal force.

“This…”

To the other core disciples, including Wang Bowen and Teng Zhihui, this was like a dream. Their impression of Chen Yiming was updated once again.

Chen Yiming’s reaction speed actually suppressed Lin Yixuan. He dodged easily and perfectly avoided the black lines covering his lower limbs. Then, he punched Lin Yixuan’s upper body, which was not covered by the black lines.

What kind of talent was this? In just a year, he had surpassed Lin Yixuan, who had been nurtured since he was young. Not only that, Lin Yixuan had lost to him even after taking enhancement drugs.
