I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 653: Be Good, It’ll Be Over Soon—It Won’t Hurt

"Principal, thank you~"

Jiang Ya and Zhang Shan, clutching the Elemental Spirit Crystal, offered grateful bows to the feline on the principal's desk.

The white cat preened, elegantly grooming its fur with a look of utter contentment.

"No need for such formality. It's Lin Yi you should truly thank. Cheng Xiao had mentioned before that aligning with Lin Yi yielded rewards, but I dismissed it. Had I realized earlier, I, as principal, should have personally escorted him to the dungeon."

Cheng Xiao? The Lingxi War God?

Hearing the elder cat's words, Zhang Shan and Jiang Ya found their perception of reality profoundly altered.

A shared curiosity arose between them regarding Lin Yi's activities since ascending to Shenxiao.

Lin Yi had never spoken of it, yet according to Wanchong Mountain, even the Lingxi War God, who commanded the Supreme Law, sought advantage from associating with Lin Yi.

How incredibly formidable Lin Yi must be.

Within the frigid confines of an Antarctic ice cave, Lin Yi assumed a cross-legged posture, observing Xiyue in the same desolate locale, now drawing upon the will of Blue Star.

For an extended period, Xiyue's actual combat prowess had seen little organic growth.

The majority of her advancements stemmed from the mechanical system's skill tree, which Lin Yi unlocked using skill points acquired through the [Blessing] skill.

Elevating another skill tree to the Forbidden Curse Level undoubtedly augmented combat power, but achieving the War God Level necessitated more than merely unlocking a single skill tree for substantial improvement.

Consequently, upon their return from Elemental Star, Lin Yi brought Xiyue to the Antarctic ice cave.

Blue Star is not the ultimate destination. To effectively safeguard Blue Star, Lin Yi must transcend this dimensional plane and seek opportunities for advancement in higher dimensions.

Despite his formidable strength and myriad life-preserving techniques, Lin Yi allowed himself no moment of complacency.

As his dimensional ascensions continue, the adversaries he confronts will inevitably grow in power.

To navigate this journey successfully and bolster his strength for the trials of the divine realm, dependable allies are an absolute necessity.

Lin Yi's most potent and trustworthy companion was Xiyue.

Regardless of the circumstances, this young woman, possessing Law Items and mastering the Supreme Law, stood unparalleled in strength across the entirety of Blue Star.

As for her loyalty, its unwavering nature needed no further testament; Lin Yi was intimately aware of Xiyue's deep affection.

Following the defeat of Chaos on Elemental Star, Lin Yi acquired the Five-Element Spirit Crystal from the vanquished foe.

The Five-Element Spirit Crystal not only bestowed the ability to wield the power of the five elements but also permitted their seamless fusion, thereby enabling the creation of novel elements for personal application.

Upon perusing Chaos's memories, Lin Yi gained a complete understanding of the true nature of the Chaos Black Thunder.

It is, in essence, a manifestation of Chaos achieving complete mastery over the five elements and subsequently merging them in diverse proportions.

For Lin Yi, the acquisition of the five elements through the crystals birthed by Chaos presented no significant challenge.

However, Lin Yi harbored no desire to pursue this particular path.

Possessing a profound natural affinity for the five elements, he could rely on future cultivation and personal insights to attain full command over these elemental forces.

The pivotal factor was Lin Yi's lack of a pressing need for absolute, flawless control over the five elements.

This nuanced perspective was unequivocally demonstrated during his confrontation with Chaos.

The Chaos Black Thunder employed by Chaos in their battle posed a formidable threat, overwhelmingly difficult for standard cultivators to confront.

Even without the entwinement of Law power, ordinary practitioners would find themselves unable to resist the corrosive effects of the Black Thunder breaching their defenses and infiltrating their bodies.

The perfect amalgamation of the five elements, in Lin Yi's estimation, transcended the scope of ordinary Laws.

Yet, this particular offensive maneuver proved entirely ineffectual against Lin Yi.

The Power of the Primordial remained a paramount capability on a planet of this lower dimensional tier.

Consequently, Lin Yi resolved to grant Xiyue the opportunity to augment her capabilities, leading to their current expedition to the Antarctic ice cave.

This distinctive training ground within the Antarctic ice cave imposes a stringent condition: practitioners must enter individually. Even when exchanging military merits for training access, self-reliance is the sole path.

Nevertheless, as a supreme being capable of perfectly commanding planetary will, Lin Yi held dominion over the entirety of Blue Star, let alone this secluded Antarctic ice cave.

"Hold firm; do not resist them."

"To command them, you must first earn their trust, and that begins with placing your own trust in them."

"The resonance of the Supreme Law within you vastly eclipses that of conventional elements. Your subconscious defense through Law power is inciting their fear."

Within a separate pocket dimension of the Antarctic ice cave, Xiyue also sat in meditation.

Suspended before her was a five-colored Elemental Spirit Crystal.

Potent waves emanated from it, clearly signifying the formidable power contained within the Five-Colored Spirit Crystal.

While Xiyue might not have been the absolute most compatible cultivator on Blue Star with this Five-Colored Spirit Crystal, its usability was sufficient for her purposes.

Wielding the Supreme Law and possessing two sets of Forbidden Curse-Level skills, Xiyue's might was already considered top-tier across the entirety of Blue Star. Coupled with Law Items, she was practically invincible.

Despite her array of formidable abilities, Xiyue still faced considerable difficulty during the absorption process of this Five-Element Spirit Crystal Stone.

Dense beads of perspiration began to form on her fair forehead.

Her formerly steady breaths turned shallow and erratic, fluctuating without regularity.

The elemental energy extracted from the Five-Element Spirit Crystal started to intertwine and fuse, actively resisting the captivating woman before them.

Each surge of elemental force sent significant ripples through Xiyue's own internal energy, causing her complexion to shift rapidly between pale and flushed, a sight that would undoubtedly concern any observer.

If Lin Guodong and his wife had been present, they would have almost certainly insisted she cease her efforts immediately.

Initially, Xiyue had intended to halt the absorption of the Five-Element Spirit Crystal and reset her condition before attempting it anew.

However, Lin Yi could no longer bear to watch her struggle.

He had not anticipated that this young woman would be so uncoordinated in this matter.

If she were left to figure it out alone, the Ancient Ape Star campaign might conclude without Lin Yi and Xiyue ever managing to depart from this frigid Antarctic ice cave.

Possessing only average exploratory capabilities is not a fatal flaw as long as one remains receptive to counsel; an unbounded future then awaits.

Xiyue's complete and utter faith in Lin Yi dictated her subsequent actions.

The instant she registered Lin Yi's voice, her defenses completely faltered. She withdrew her Power of Law and began the crucial task of regulating her turbulent energy and her slightly disordered meridians.

With every deep inhalation she took, Xiyue's strained posture eased incrementally, and soon, all internal disharmony subsided completely.

"Yes, exactly like that. Don’t fight against them."

"This process is going to be somewhat painful, but it will all be worthwhile. As the elemental power surges through your body, endeavor to utilize your innate healing skills, along with your Lifebound Law."

"Should I perceive that you truly cannot endure it any longer, I will intervene using the Creation Law to aid in your recovery."

"Be a dear, it doesn't truly hurt. Just bear with it for a little while; it will be over swiftly."
