I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 1067: Blue Star Crisis

"Heh, Mr. Xu, do you really mean that? Do you even believe it yourself?"

Old Cat raised his head, glaring at Xu Sheng, somewhat displeased.

No matter who they are, everyone has their own goals and troubles, and seeks to prove their value through achievements.

Old Cat was no exception.

Even though he was hailed as the most successful principal in the history of Shenxiao, he never intended to stop contributing to Xia.

"If you’re envious of me, you can take over as the principal of Shenxiao. Lately, the tasks you’ve assigned to Shenxiao have decreased. If it weren’t for the regular reporting requirements, I, Old Cat, would probably hardly see you."

Xu Sheng naturally heard the hint of sarcasm in Old Cat’s words.

As Lin Yi’s principal, Old Cat had supported Lin Yi significantly on his path to growth, and when their strengths were comparable, they exchanged many ideas on how to enhance their abilities.

Even obtaining a Dragon Race battle pet required considerable effort from Old Cat.

As a witness to Lin Yi’s growth, Lin Yi’s status in Old Cat’s heart was far from being just a student.

To play a crucial role in critical moments, Old Cat established the Shenxiao Elite Corps within Shenxiao.

The Shenxiao Elite Corps was the most elite force among Shenxiao students.

This force didn’t limit itself to current Shenxiao students; it also included exceptional graduates.

After learning about the existence of the Three Realms and Six Paths, and realizing that Blue Star was just a negligible planet among the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, all the professionals on Blue Star felt lost.

They had been harassed by powerful beings from different dimensions and invaded by divine envoys, leading them to doubt their strength, questioning whether they were worthy of being called professionals and whether they had the ability to protect their planet.

When lost, most professionals lost their direction, unsure of what they should do.

Luckily, Principal Old Cat remained clear-headed, suggesting that everyone should prepare for possible upcoming battles, and with Shenxiao’s influence, established this elite corps.

The elite corps consisted of battle-hardened experts who, in their quest to enhance their strength, often chose to lead free expeditions, thereby increasing their combat experience and helping the new generation of Blue Star to rise. This maneuver left those previously working as hired muscle out of jobs.

"Were it not for the elite corps I formed, I’d have gone mad with boredom long ago. I’m here today not to report anything special but to discuss something with you."

Old Cat, supporting his chin, appeared leisurely.

"By the way, prioritize the enhancements from the Divine Refining Bureau for our Shenxiao, okay? Although the bureau’s director was once a student from Shenxiao, as you know, that Sun Dachuan is always busy, almost perpetually holed up in the South Pole Ice Cave training. Once he’s in, he stays there for quite some time, equivalent to staying inside for over a thousand days straight."

"I don’t know how he endures it. While I am indeed the principal, I haven’t seen the kid in a long time. Besides, procedures for the Divine Refining Bureau have to go through you, Xu Sheng, to be legitimate and lawful. I don’t want any false accusations."

Wanchong Mountain’s request was something Xu Sheng had no reason to refuse.

Facing Wanchong Mountain, Old Cat, Xu Sheng completely set aside his airs. Despite being the Alliance Leader of the entire Blue Star Professional Alliance, he couldn’t alter the respect he had for the old educator Wanchong Mountain.

"If it was just for this matter, a remote call would have sufficed. No need for so much hassle."

"But since you’re here, let’s have a good talk and catch up."

Up until now, Wanchong Mountain had not shed his identity as an educator.

He knew he was getting old, and his future accomplishments were limited. Ever since peace was restored to Blue Star, he had been seeking breakthroughs for his students.

As the students and the elite corps grew stronger, many of Blue Star’s dungeons could no longer satisfy their need for improvement.

Especially for the elite corps, venturing outside was the best way to enhance their strength.

The purpose of coming here was to discuss with Xu Sheng whether they could spare part of the guard team brought by Lin Yi to take the elite corps out for training.

This proposal was indeed good, and Xu Sheng had no reason to refuse.

He knew well that for the warriors of Blue Star to rise, they couldn’t remain confined within Blue Star’s boundaries for strength enhancement. In life-and-death situations, the professionals on Blue Star would face opponents far beyond their own level.

Xu Sheng didn’t waste words.

Ziyue was under his command, but even so, he still wanted to follow due procedures, properly mobilizing Blue Star’s teams. After all, every decision he made had to reassure all of Blue Star, whether they were professionals or lifestyle-oriented professionals.

As the two chatted cheerfully, discussing what materials Blue Star currently needed, Xu Sheng’s communication spirit crystal rang.

Through the displayed information, Xu Sheng could see that it was Ziyue, responsible for Blue Star’s defense, who initiated the call.

"See, speak of the devil – Miss Ziyue’s calling."

Xu Sheng smiled as he picked up the call, but to his surprise, the moment the call connected, Ziyue’s projection conveyed words that sent shivers down his spine.

"Mr. Xu Sheng, something’s wrong. A powerful Upper-Rank God has arrived on Blue Star. Although he’s not in the best state now, I can clearly feel that this powerful Upper-Rank God’s Divine Power Level is far beyond Master Lin Yi’s."

The holographic projection of Ziyue showed a pale face full of helplessness as she spoke words that made Xu Sheng feel like the sky was falling:

"Lord Xu Sheng, almost all of my subordinates have fallen. If Blue Star is to survive, we cannot hold back at all; we must go all out."

Old Cat, who was with Xu Sheng, naturally heard Ziyue’s report.

Though Old Cat was experienced and stayed calm in the face of adversity, he was still stunned by this terrifying news.

An Upper-Rank God with strength far exceeding Lin Yi’s – what a terrifying existence that must be.

Old Cat and Xu Sheng both vividly remembered what Lin Yi had told them.

Divine power is the most formidable force in this world, but differences in Divine Power Levels can result in vastly different combat capabilities.

When a higher level goes up against a lower level, it does so in a completely overpowering manner.

There weren’t many entities on Blue Star that could master divine power, just a few, and even if they all combined, they might not be enough to match Lin Yi, let alone an enemy with a far higher Divine Power Level.

What can we do now!

This alliance leader with strategic foresight and planning skills felt helpless and desperate for the first time in years, unable to grasp the situation when danger struck.
