I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 630: Differences Exist Even Among Elements
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
Regardless of perspective, securing the rich resources of Insect Hive Star necessitates passing through Blue Star. Neither Elemental Star nor Ancient Ape Star are oblivious to this fact. The mere ability of Blue Star to single-handedly annihilate Insect Hive Star is irrefutable proof of its formidable nature. During Blue Star's ascent, expending planetary combat strength for mere resources would represent a net loss, a calculation the leaders of both these star systems would undoubtedly avoid. Upon arriving at the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, numerous transport ships navigated past the Blue Star pioneering squad. He Zhenyuan, possessing extensive connections, recognized the captain of one such transport vessel. The ship halted, and the captain disembarked to greet He Zhenyuan.
"Ah, Mr. He, I didn't anticipate you embarking on another journey so soon."
"Come, come, take a look inside the transport cabin. It's brimming with rare materials. In the past, who would have dared to dream of accumulating such vast resources for development? Our Xia's Dragon God War God is truly peerless, simply magnificent!" As he spoke, the transport captain, Zhang Dahai, instructed his crew to open the cargo hold, revealing a treasure trove of scarce materials. Every member of the transport team displayed profound pride.
For years, the significant gap in status between combat professionals and those in lifestyle professions had fostered a sense of inferiority among transport workers like them when compared to professionals. However, they had never imagined a day would come when they could stand before an expeditionary force with their heads held high, radiating confidence.
"Old Zhang, you seem different. I recall you never being one for flattery."
Zhang Dahai playfully punched He Zhenyuan in the chest. "Mr. He, what are you implying? Am I flattering you? You know the capabilities of our boss, Lin Yi, don't you? Good heavens, I heard he single-handedly annihilated the billions of insects on Insect Hive Star."
"Setting aside Lin Yi's combat achievements, if it weren't for him, how could we workers earn military merits? How could professionals value us so highly?"
As he continued, He Zhenyuan gestured for his team to make way, allowing Lin Yi and his three companions, walking side-by-side, to come into Zhang Dahai's view. Observing the surprised expression on Zhang Dahai's face, He Zhenyuan's eyes twinkled with amusement. *So, Old Zhang, your sudden fluency in flattery is due to Lin Yi's presence. After knowing you for so many years, I've never witnessed this side of you.*
These words caused Zhang Dahai to blush instantly, feeling rather sheepish. He quickly and somewhat awkwardly addressed Lin Yi. Zhang Dahai and his crew were merely lifestyle professionals. However, wielding the Truth Law, Lin Yi could easily perceive their intentions even without relying on the Eye of All-Seeing. Would Lin Yi not discern their flattery? Whether they were genuinely grateful or not, Lin Yi didn't place much importance on it. He was simply surprised that his actions could significantly enhance the occupational confidence of lifestyle professionals, which he considered a positive outcome.
Having successfully reached the gateway to Insect Hive Star, the path to Elemental Star lay just a stone's throw away. To ensure their safety, Lin Yi entered first. Information regarding Elemental Star was scarce, limited primarily to the characteristics of its indigenous lifeforms. Navigating through gravitational turbulence and a unidirectional, pitch-black corridor, Lin Yi successfully arrived on Elemental Star. A single glance was enough to leave Lin Yi astonished by the bizarre landscape before him.
Unlike Blue Star, this planet lacked mountains, rivers, lakes, or dense forests. It was adorned solely with clusters of colorful light spheres – or perhaps, more accurately described, chaotic masses of varying hues. Employing the Eye of All-Seeing, Lin Yi could readily ascertain that these differently colored agglomerations were composed of distinct elemental energies. Within these formations, dozens of identical lifeforms were present.
As Lin Yi activated his Gale Wings to ascend into the sky, the elemental resonance immediately drew a group of verdant entities towards him. This cluster of viridescence contorted, swirled, and merged, flashing rapidly before Lin Yi. In the following instant, a slender, light cyan humanoid figure materialized. At first glance, these beings appeared almost transparent, with discernible traces of airflow emanating from their forms, clearly identifying them as wind elemental beings – the natives of Elemental Star.
"You possess considerable audacity, human, to venture to Elemental Star unaccompanied," one of them declared. Upon concluding their statement, these wind elemental creatures raised their subtly contoured palms, launching invisible wind blades toward Lin Yi. *Clang... Clang...*
A series of sharp metallic impacts echoed through the air.
Lin Yi found himself enveloped by Black Cyber Shields, which effectively nullified the incoming wind blades.
This was the display of a Tier Seven mechanical skill: [Eternal Guardian]!
"You know I'm human, yet you dare to treat me with such disrespect? Have you not heard the news of Insect Hive Star's annihilation? Are you not afraid Elemental Star will be next?"
As Lin Yi's declaration subsided, a vast expanse of incandescent crimson flames ignited behind him.
The ambient temperature dramatically climbed by scores of degrees in an instant.
This sudden display of power instantly instilled fear into the expressions of the wind elemental beings.
Within the elemental spectrum, certain attributes possess affinities while others are opposed; in the presence of fire, wind serves only to intensify its blaze.
"Arrogant human whelp, do you presume Elemental Star is devoid of other defenses?"
"To dare summon elemental energy within this domain, you are truly ignorant!"
The elemental beings of Elemental Star possessed an exceptionally acute awareness of the inherent relationships between attributes, recognizing both harmony and discord.
The fiery red expanse behind Lin Yi, having flickered into existence for but a moment, was confronted by a phalanx of light blue humanoid figures, borne aloft on colossal waves, charging towards Lin Yi.
Water elemental beings, how intriguing.
While elements do exhibit affinities and oppositions, even opposing elements adhere to a distinct hierarchy.
With a mere exertion of will, the crimson inferno transformed into a radiant golden hue.
A distinctive fire attribute energy erupted with explosive force.
Exotic Fire—the Golden Emperor Heaven-Burning Flame!
Such a high-tier exotic fire, capable of scorching the very heavens, would naturally hold no fear of mere water waves.
Thus, as the light blue humanoids and their overwhelming tides surged forward, even before making contact with Lin Yi, they distinctly felt a heat that seared their very souls.
The light blue entities that assaulted Lin Yi were obliterated instantaneously, affording them no time to utter a single cry.
This outcome left the wind attribute creatures utterly aghast.
"W-what is the origin of this brat! That flame behind him, how can it possess such terrifying power!"
Before the question could be fully formed in their minds, from one, then two!
Five, then twenty! More and more professionals from Blue Star began to emerge from the unidirectional corridor, positioning themselves behind Lin Yi.
"Boss Lin Yi, the creatures on Elemental Star can even drop valuable materials!"
