I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points - Chapter 452 - Conversation in the Residence

Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged, as if the jade stone golem blocking their way had never appeared. The team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop immediately felt much safer.

While Huang Zhongyun acknowledged Chen Yiming’s strength, he was even more worried about how they would avoid Gao Shuai and Chen Yiming in the future. It would be troublesome if these two people had ulterior motives.

It was easier to welcome a god than to send him away.

Not long after, under Gao Shuai’s lead, they arrived at a spot at the bottom of the jade lake where they could easily launch an attack or escape from. The space barrier in the middle was thick and solid, and the space on both sides was so thin that they could create space-travel distortions at any time.

Chen Yiming’s figure disappeared, leaving behind only a faint spatial fluctuation.

He did not need to stay with the team from the source ore shop. Instead, he waited far outside the jade lake to ensure that the person with twin pupils had no way out.

…

In Heaven Suppressing City, in the garden of the city ruler’s residence, a chessboard appeared in the air. Two middle-aged men were sitting opposite each other across a small fountain. One of them was holding a black piece, and the other was holding a white piece.

At this moment, they were letting the matter of the evacuation of the source ore shops spread. The two of them were focused on a game of chess, as if there was nothing else more important to them other than this game.

Suddenly, as a black piece fell, a group of white pieces faced an encirclement. The city ruler holding the white piece paused and did not place another piece.

“City Ruler Li doesn’t seem to be as calm as he looks. Let me guess. You must be worried about your son, Li Tengfei,” the strange man said with a smile.

“The twin pupils bloodline is originally a path of invincibility. From the day they are born, they have been accompanied by great luck. Only those who also have great luck can compete with them. Otherwise, why would you just watch from the sidelines?” Li Zhentian retorted.

“Oh? Is that really the case?”

The strange man looked surprised and continued, “I think the Gao clan’s Gao Shuai, who is known as the son of the prophecy, is someone with great luck that is not inferior to those with twin pupils.”

“I wonder who will be eliminated if the person with twin pupils and the son of the prophecy fight? Will the luck of one side be overwhelmed by the other party?”

When Li Zhentian heard this, he laughed and said, “It’s just a little prophecy ability. Other than that, there’s nothing else. How can the son of the prophecy compete with my son?”

It was not that the city ruler looked down on special abilities like seeing prophecies, but that Gao Shuai’s methods were all unorthodox.

In other words, it was very difficult to obtain true recognition by relying on external forces. It was not as effective as those with the twin pupils bloodline, who could control their own fate.

Furthermore, it was very difficult for the prophecy ability to work on a terrifying spiritual talent like the twin pupils. Facing the backlash and a possible sudden death, it could be said that he would suppress the other party before they even fought.

“So that’s what City Ruler Li thinks.”

The strange man was surprised again and smiled. “That makes sense. After all, Gao Shuai has a hidden plan and has been suppressing his breakthrough.”

“However, in a one-on-one battle, he might be able to win over Gao Shuai for the time being, but Gao Shuai also has a powerful helper. It’s two against one. It wasn’t easy for the twin pupils to be stabilized, so I’m afraid he will suffer a huge setback.”

Chen Yiming had been on the spaceship with Gao Shuai and broke out of the encirclement that the Roc clan and many other factions had set up in outer space.

Gao Shuai’s sudden involvement caused many incidents to happen to the Heaven Suppressing Army’s troops.

At the level of the strange man and the city ruler, it was not difficult to guess that the one behind all this was the one who had killed the genius of the Roc clan on the Flying Cloud Planet.

“That genius from the Roc clan was originally barely able to step through the threshold among the geniuses. Coupled with his carelessness, he was ambushed. If they fought openly, he would naturally not have died.”

“My son, Tengfei, has been far more mature than those of the same age since young. Naturally, he will not make such a huge mistake of underestimating his opponent. The twin pupils bloodline is not something that the roc bloodline can compare to.”

“I believe that even if he fights one against two and let that Gao Shuai plot against him, in the end, my son will still take off and break through the tricks to suppress the two of them on his own.”

The city ruler was extremely confident in the twin pupils bloodline. Otherwise, he would not have set the stage so carefully over so many years. The arrangements he had made could not be explained fully even if he talked about it for three days and three nights.

This was the truth. With the help of their Heavenly Eye, the South Palace clan was an overlord-level faction in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. They were one of the main factions participating in the fight for the true dragon’s corpse.

The twin pupils were a qualitative improvement from the Heavenly Eye. From the day they were born, they were known to be invincible. Their potential was even comparable to the corpse of the true dragon.

Of course, that was only in theory, when one’s potential had been developed to the limit. In reality, the twin pupils formed by the fusion of multiple Heavenly Eyes were not born naturally, and no one thought that they were perfect.

Otherwise, the city ruler would not have allowed the person with twin pupils to appear before it completely matured.

“That’s someone who has the combat strength to suppress geniuses of the same level and an unbelievable spatial ability. Even the Roc clan’s elders couldn’t do anything after they started a pursuit that exceeded the range of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.”

“It’s not like this time. From the Heaven Suppressing City to the floating canyon, the two sides are on completely different levels. There’s no comparison at all.”

The strange man didn’t explicitly say that the person with twin pupils couldn’t compare to Chen Yiming, but his words were filled with admiration for the huge pursuit that was carried out on such an unbelievable scale.

In other words, even if the city ruler in front of him was in the same situation, facing such a pursuit, the strange man did not think that he had a chance of escaping.

It had to be known that the combined strength at that time was enough to destroy an overlord faction in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.

“Tsk!”

Li Zhentian was still disdainful and said calmly, “With their spatial ability and powerful intuition for danger, I admit that when those two work together, their ability to escape is almost unparalleled.”

“But in the end, it’s just an ability to escape. In a head-on battle, I believe he’s definitely not a match for my son. Furthermore, in a head-on battle, Gao Shuai is not a combatant at all.”

“Then in reality, it’s back to a one-on-one fight. In a one-on-one fight, the twin pupils are definitely invincible. Don’t tell me you think the person Gao Shuai found is more powerful than the twin pupils?”

The strange man smiled and did not say anything.

Just like this chess game, Li Zhentian did not think that he would make a mistake before the game started.

Although he had only made a single mistake and it was not to the extent that the outcome was determined, the white side had already lost its momentum and could no longer win the game.

Therefore, since they had never really fought, it was not certain that the person with twin pupils would be the one to win in the end, even though the stories of the terrifying power of the twin pupils had been passed down since a long time ago.

Just as the strange man and Li Zhentian suddenly fell silent, suddenly, a general from the Heaven Suppressing Army ignored the rules of the city ruler’s residence and rushed in, shouting that he had something important to report.

“What is it?”

Li Zhentian’s expression was not good.

He had lost the chess game, and he did not have the upper hand in their debate. At this moment, he had accumulated his anger in his heart. If not for the fact that the strange man was here, he would naturally have lost his temper.

The general of the Heaven Suppressing Army saw that the strange man was present.

He paused for a moment, but Li Zhentian had no intention of letting things slide, so he did not know what to do.

“As long as it’s not something confidential, just say it.”

Li Zhentian could roughly guess that it was related to the pursuit of the teams from the source ore shops. It was no longer a secret to those at the level of him and the strange man.

Therefore, he was too lazy to chase the other man away. He had absolute confidence in the twin pupils. Even if it was an overt plan, they would not be able to do anything about it.

The strange man was originally here to keep an eye on the city ruler.

Seeing that Li Zhentian was pretending to be calm, he naturally would not expose him. He was happy to be able to hear the reports of what had happened.

Not long after.

After receiving Li Zhentian’s instructions, the general revealed his reason for entering the city ruler’s residence.

It turned out that the Heaven Suppressing Army had been attacked from all directions. In order to avoid the traitors among the troops as much as possible, Li Tengfei had gone down alone to chase after the teams from the source ore shops.

When Li Zhentian heard this, his expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand, indicating for the general to leave.

Only he knew what he was thinking.

…

On the surface of the jade lake.

“So you really deliberately lured me into a dangerous place to fight me?” Li Tengfei said calmly as he stood on the surface of the lake. His robe fluttered in the wind, and his long hair flew behind him. His eyes revealed his invincible confidence in himself.

So what if he took the initiative to step into the ambush? It was just a small disadvantage. The path of invincibility had opened up, so he should naturally sweep through all his enemies.

When the team from the source ore shop at the bottom of the lake sensed the commotion on the surface of the lake, their hearts tightened. They realized that the person with twin pupils had arrived.

Gao Shuai had a confident expression on his face, but the reputation of the person with twin pupils still made everyone feel worried.

At such a close distance, if Chen Yiming lost quickly, everyone would be trapped. The dangerous environment of the jade lake would become a cage that prevented them from escaping.

“He has to hold on. He can’t lose. If he loses, all of us will be wiped out together.” Someone in the team kept praying in his heart, hoping that the situation would be just like what Gao Shuai was confident it would be like.

Chen Yiming’s figure appeared in the distance. With a single step, he entered the jade lake and formed a stalemate from a few kilometers away.

At the same time, he revealed a blatant look of disdain, as if the person with twin pupils had an undeserved reputation. He had gone through so much trouble just to lure them out for a one-on-one battle.

Li Tengfei naturally took in all of this.

An unknown anger immediately rose in his heart. He did not expect to step into the ambush alone and not even see Gao Shuai. This was different from the situation he had imagined where the two of them would ambush him together.

In his heart, he had always thought that among the two of them, Gao Shuai was the one in charge, and Chen Yiming was just a fighter.

However, a guy who he had thought to be playing a support role actually dared to look at him with disdain. This was an absolute provocation and could not be forgiven.

Chen Yiming paused for a moment just to confirm that the person who had arrived was Li Tengfei. Then, he didn’t waste any time and attacked.

He used the space anchor to teleport, and his figure appeared in front of Li Tengfei like a comet.

A terrifying aura shot out along with a fist. The aftershock alone compressed the air, just like a bolt of lightning descending from the sky.

“Boom!”

This punch looked ordinary, but in reality, the team from the source ore shops hiding at the bottom of the jade lake felt a huge pressure, as if everything was about to be wiped out.

Li Tengfei felt the same way. He felt as if a planet was charging over towards him, and the space around him was collapsing. The energy fluctuations were extremely terrifying, and he no longer dared to underestimate his opponent.

With a punch, a bolt of lightning appeared between the heavens and the earth, and the light drowned out everything. The ground in the range of countless kilometers shook, and the power of the world stirred up killing intent everywhere. No creature dared to come over to investigate.

After a moment, the jade lake slowly calmed down. The aftershock of the energy ripples disappeared. Other than the two figures confronting each other from afar, there was only the aura of the space-travel distortion erupted all over the ground.

Someone in the team from the source ore shop at the bottom of the lake asked in a low voice if it was time to escape.

Didn’t he say that they should retreat once the fight started? If not for the fact that there were no problems with the hiding spot that Gao Shuai had chosen, they would definitely not have been able to stay here any longer.

Huang Zhongyun shook his head and motioned for the troops to stay calm.

Before the battle reached the point where the other party could not afford to be distracted, running out at this time was no different from courting death. Even he could not withstand more than a few punches of that level.

“Not bad, not bad. With one punch, he destroyed an overlapping world in my twin pupils.” Although Li Tengfei’s figure was no longer standing at the same position, he was still on the surface of the lake.

“The overlapping worlds in the twin pupils are similar to the miniature inner worlds contained in each of my cells, right?” Chen Yiming thought to himself.

At this moment, the battle that had just started seemed to have come to a stop, but the auras of both sides were rapidly increasing. A clear dividing line had already been formed between heaven and earth.

The twin pupils represented invincibility on the spiritual level, while the Undying Body represented invincibility on the physical level.

Chen Yiming didn’t believe that a single punch could destroy an overlapping world. Otherwise, the punch would have been completely absorbed, and the aura of the space-travel distortion wouldn’t have appeared.

At this thought, Chen Yiming’s fighting spirit soared. His aura was like that of an ancient god who had woken up from a deep sleep. He wanted to compete with the person with twin pupils to see who was the most powerful.

On the other side, Li Tengfei was the same. His twin pupils spun slightly, and the divine light in them brightened. World projections appeared and disappeared one after another, as if he had fused with the universe and grasped the laws governing life and death.

“City Ruler Li, it seems that your son has really met those two people. It’s one against two. Are you really at ease not going to protect him?”

In the city ruler’s residence in Heaven Suppressing City, the strange man probed. After all, the Heaven Suppression City’s ruler had revealed in the chess game that he was not truly that calm and relaxed.

“You must be joking. In the south mountain range, even if a powerful elder like you makes a move, my son won’t die or be defeated. It’s not beneficial for his development if I go to support him in battle.”

Li Zhentian refused with a smile. At the same time, he found a good excuse to explain why he was not able to concentrate during the game.

“Indeed, indeed.”

The strange man nodded in agreement.

As soon as he said this, unless Li Zhentian backed down, he had already decided that no one would interfere.

The younger generation would settle their own matters. If either side lost, it just meant that the losing side was inferior to the other. Even if they did not want to admit it, they had to.

In other words, one side was known as the son of the prophecy, and the other was compared to the path of invincibility. After this battle ended, the impact would definitely be far-reaching, and one side would definitely lose.

On the other hand, the side that won in the end would ride the momentum and shake up the situation in the abandoned world.
