I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 609: Don’t Waste Time, Come at Me Together!

Sun Dachuan's face darkened more and more.
Was it truly this simplistic to decide trial passers and failures with such an offhand technique? He needed to succeed here the most.
A success rate hovering around ten percent was absolutely no trifling matter.
The plump little Feng Sanyou and Lin Yi had both faced the so-called trial, and as expected, neither received the Bodhi seed from the Jade Guang Bodhi. The Green Queen thus deemed them rejected by nature's spirit, requiring redemption.
At first, Lin Yi planned to watch closely how Luya Country's ways of comprehending life and guiding others to fortune while dodging disasters worked in practice, and if they matched the legends' wonders.
To his surprise, the Green Queen had no intention of granting Lin Yi and his companions that chance. A single look toward her followers sent the brawny men on hoverboards, armed with unique gem blades, encircling the three and cutting off their escape.
"This trial stands apart from the rest. Wounds inflicted here are authentic and persist beyond it. The blood you shed is truly gone forever,"
one brawny man clarified.
"That's the cost for attempting it. Not overly savage, yet far from mild. After your bodies mend and you've accumulated sufficient merits to earn nature's spirit approval, another attempt awaits."
While speaking, he advanced toward the initial challenger, Sun Dachuan.
A bit of blood loss won't prove fatal, though the bodily harm demands respect.
Sun Dachuan lacked Lin Yi's monstrous healing prowess. A single cut would likely demand ages to mend.
Crises sharpen the sharpest thoughts.
Even the straightforward Sun Dachuan proved no exception.
The moment the Source Power-glowing blade neared his arm, a bizarre yell escaped him.
"Ah!~"
"Oh holy nature! You are so beautiful!"
"Ah!~"
....
Chanting as he shuffled closer to Feng Sanyou's position.
A mere signal made the chubby Feng Sanyou grasp Sun Dachuan's intent and chime in with fervent recitation.
Such behavior stunned the Green Queen.
Right before she could caution the three against fooling around, Sun Dachuan piped up first.
"Honorable Queen, my brother and I have grasped some understanding of nature. We must atone to it and offer ourselves in the most untainted form. Might you begin the blood draw with our fellow teammate?"
"We don’t want to taint this world, you see?"
The Green Queen first hesitated to consent, yet Sun Dachuan's words rang so logically without flaws that denial grew impossible.
"Alright~"
"But you two better hurry, it’s your turn next."
Thus, she signaled her men to commence with Lin Yi's blood, oblivious to Nangong Ling nearby suppressing her chuckles.
Daring to test Lin Yi in this grueling trial?
No overstatement: throughout all of Blue Star, no challenge exists that Lin Yi cannot conquer. Were one to stump him, no Blue Star expert could surmount it either.
Soul Suppressing difficulty rules can indeed curb a War God’s might, though the suppression's degree hinges on that War God's potency.
Martial soul skills, Law skills, Taichu Law, planetary will mastery, divine power in the right hand—which could Luya Country possibly counter?
Lin Yi's quiet demeanor and unassuming look don't invite free attacks upon him.
Lin Yi simply offered no resistance.
Allowing the brawny man to continue.
However, as the blade radiating keen Source Power fluctuations descended toward Lin Yi’s arm, the gem forming it suddenly cracked apart into dust.
"Now that’s odd, first time doing this job, Big Black? No need to be this nervous, breaking the blade with too much force. How about trying another one?"
As the proverb states, outsiders perceive what players miss.
The dark-skinned brawny man stood puzzled.
Beneath Luya Country folk's stares, he nodded foolishly.
He, fellow Luya natives, and even the Green Queen all rationalized the incident, pondering logical causes for the blade's breakage.
Crushing seemed the sole likelihood.
Awkward grin on his face, the man retrieved a matching dagger from storage space.
"Don’t mess up this time, make it quick and precise."
Lin Yi smiled at the brawny man.
Solemn nod given, the brawny man struck forth promptly, driving the gem blade at Lin Yi anew.
Who'd imagine he'd swing a second time?
Watching the gem blade fragment once more amid the Luya Country onlookers, awareness dawned of the anomaly.
Yet by that point, the moment had passed.
Lin Yi extended his hand, softly tapped the burly man’s shoulder, and spoke with a trace of frustration,
"You’re truly straightforward, jumping into action the moment you’re told."
After that, he casually shoved the ice sculpture he held to the side.
"I won’t bother wasting time on you lot. The four of us will clear this trial and take the rewards. Warriors of Luya Country, quit dragging things out—charge at me together!"
Bound by the trial’s rules, professionals stepping inside usually see their powers dropped to mere mortal levels, leaving them highly vulnerable to the advanced tech warriors from Luya Country.
In over a thousand years, Luya Country had welcomed hordes of professionals, but never one as brazenly cocky as Lin Yi, who spouted such outrageous boasts.
The Green Queen, unaccustomed to such utter disdain, flew into a rage and commanded her forces to seize Lin Yi without delay.
Reality slammed hard against their lofty dreams.
No matter the flawless teamwork among Luya’s warriors or the speed of their strikes, they all froze stiff the instant they neared Lin Yi.
Then, gripped by the bone-chilling frost, they solidified into ice blocks and tumbled down.
The volley of hundreds of Source Power arrows likewise came to a dead stop close to Lin Yi, before plummeting uselessly.
"Honored Queen, perhaps you should heed Brother Yi’s words?"
"Keep fighting and it gains you nothing. Brother Yi’s might means not only a toppled nation—even a full planet couldn’t touch him, so..."
Chubby Feng Sanyou declared with smug joy.
