I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 655: Lingxi War God: If Only I Were a Woman

The continuous extraction of Body Tempering Milk Vein from select locations, in balanced amounts, can sustain indefinitely.

Having lost the majority of its formidable fighting forces, Ancient Ape Star’s might pales in comparison to Blue Star. Xu Sheng was well aware of the principle that those alien to us harbor different intentions.

As the esteemed Alliance Leader of the Xia Professional Alliance, Xu Sheng spearheaded the invasion of Ancient Ape Star, eradicating all lifeforms discovered there.

While the methods employed were undeniably harsh, he harbored no remorse for his actions.

During a comprehensive discussion with Lin Yi previously, Xu Sheng gained crucial insights into Blue Star's standing and circumstances within the vast Ten Thousand Realms.

Certainly, honoring life and other civilizations constitutes the proper code of conduct.

However, for a planet intrinsically linked to Blue Star, such considerations were deemed unnecessary.

Should Blue Star fail to act proactively, inevitably, when the equilibrium of planetary combat power shifts, Blue Star would inevitably suffer the same fate as these three planets.

The natural beauty of Ancient Ape Star was truly remarkable.

Here, aside from the mining equipment brought from Blue Star, one would scarcely find any semblance of modern infrastructure.

Expansive, verdant forests stretched for thousands of miles, blanketing the landscape in an unbroken expanse of green. The melodious chirping of birds provided a constant auditory backdrop, fostering a sense of serene isolation, as if existing in a realm apart from the mortal world.

Perched atop a mountain, overlooking a precipice.

A young man, clad in formal attire, reclined casually on a chair, basking in the warmth of the sun and the gentle caress of the breeze.

Even as the sound of approaching footsteps registered behind him, he remained disinclined to stir or open his eyes.

"Cheng Xiao, I never anticipated such a profound shift in your demeanor."

"Observing you now, it appears you've found a certain satisfaction in the duty assigned to you?"

Xu Sheng lightly tapped Cheng Xiao's recliner with a smile.

"I must admit, this assignment is rather agreeable. This sensation of returning to nature and a simpler existence is something I haven't experienced since I gained awareness. Overseeing the mining operations here isn't inherently bad, but you'll have to permit me to bring my family later on."

Among Xia's assembled War Gods, excluding Lin Yi and Xiyue, Cheng Xiao was notably the sole individual unburdened by level-related anxiety.

Possessing youth and having already attained the formidable War God Realm, ranking among the apex cultivators on Blue Star, he naturally stood out as the prime candidate for task deployment from the limited pool of eligible individuals.

Initially, Cheng Xiao harbored reservations about accepting this particular assignment. It was only after Lin Yi informed him that this planet harbored precious resources capable of rectifying his deficiencies, and furthermore, offered him personal supervision of pure Body Tempering Milk, that Cheng Xiao finally acquiesced.

"Naturally, the immense responsibility for our Blue Star's destiny now rests primarily in Lin Yi's capable hands. The War Gods of Blue Star merely need to focus on their steady progression. Bringing your family over is hardly a significant request."

As their conversation unfolded above, a sudden, unannounced bolt of lightning illuminated the sky, striking down beside Cheng Xiao and Xu Sheng, startling them both profoundly.

Had Cheng Xiao not fortified his physical body's resilience to an exceptional degree through the use of Body Tempering Milk, even his considerable War God strength would have necessitated at least half a month for complete recuperation, let alone Xu Sheng.

Just as Cheng Xiao pondered with curiosity why he hadn't sensed this abrupt meteorological shift beforehand, the lightning dissipated, revealing two youthful figures standing before Xu Sheng and Cheng Xiao.

"What do you think of Ancient Ape Star? A rather pleasant locale, wouldn't you agree?"

The newcomers were none other than Lin Yi and Xiyue.

Previously, unable to decipher Lin Yi's aura or his body techniques, Cheng Xiao found it unsurprising. However, in this brief interval since their last encounter, he was utterly incapable of discerning Xiyue's aura, despite her being a fellow possessor of the Supreme Law, much like himself.

It was noteworthy that not a great deal of time had elapsed since their last meeting; Cheng Xiao had not held a significant advantage over Xiyue, and with both wielding the Supreme Law, their power levels were practically on par.

Who could have envisioned that in such a short span, Xiyue's might would escalate to such a terrifying magnitude?

Cheng Xiao's intense gaze fixed upon Xiyue, an action that immediately drew a frown from Xu Sheng.

"Cheng Xiao, have you lost your senses? On Blue Star, everyone knows Xiyue is Lin Yi's woman. Staring at her like that, do you intend to provoke a confrontation with Lin Yi?"

....

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao was rendered nearly speechless, bordering on disbelief.

He shot Xu Sheng an exasperated glare: "Mr. Xu, if you cannot speak rationally, you are welcome to remain silent; no one will mistake you for being mute. Furthermore, had you not made such substantial contributions to Xia, this potential conflict between us might very well have erupted."

Lin Yi, with his innate understanding, grasped Cheng Xiao's underlying thoughts implicitly.

His unwavering focus on Xiyue stemmed purely from his astonishment at her formidable current strength.

Cheng Xiao, a skilled individual among the Xia powerhouses, possessed an impeccable perception. Yet, he found himself unable to comprehend how the girl, once his equal, could now so completely eclipse him.

He could only heave a sigh, lamenting the vast disparity between individuals.

Noticing Cheng Xiao's crestfallen demeanor, Xiyue offered a reassuring smile.

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, there's no need for such despondency. Enhancing one's strength is never an easy feat. My own advancements were heavily reliant on external aid, and the resulting increases are far less substantial than yours, Mr. Cheng Xiao."

"Moreover, depending on external help for power boosts might pose future challenges. I did this now to provide Lin Yi with greater support for his upcoming endeavors. With the current level enhancement from the Blue Star Planet Will, you simply need some dedicated practice afterward to surpass me."

Xiyue's words filled Cheng Xiao with a sense of helplessness.

He found the girl quite kind, even inventing such an outlandish explanation at this moment to comfort him, truly putting in the effort.

Even if he knew it was a fabrication, refusing to accept it now would be ungrateful.

With a wry smile, Cheng Xiao abandoned his intention to boast.

Could this be the advantage of associating with Lin Yi? The task of guarding the freshest Body Tempering Milk suddenly seemed far less appealing.

At that instant, a ludicrous thought even crossed Cheng Xiao's mind—if only he were a beautiful woman.

Then he could shamelessly cling to Lin Yi, bolstering his own strength.

"The efficacy of the Body Tempering Milk is quite apparent," he remarked.

As he spoke, Cheng Xiao produced a transparent vial containing a viscous crimson liquid.

"It's just that its presentation isn't particularly attractive," he added.

With that, he presented the bottle to Lin Yi.

"To put it mildly, the effects of the Body Tempering Milk have far surpassed our expectations," he stated.

"Its most exceptional quality is its capacity to augment the weaker attributes of Mage professionals, aligning with their specific elemental characteristics."

Lin Yi was genuinely unaware of the Body Tempering Milk's specific effects.

One had to admit, Set was rather forward-thinking.

Despite the primates of Ancient Ape Star possessing intelligence on par with humans, they had not specifically investigated the enhancement mechanisms of the Body Tempering Milk.

Instead, it was the professionals of Blue Star who discovered, consumed, and subsequently analyzed the changes based on their own attributes.

Previously obtained Elemental Spirit Crystals from Elemental Star had enabled Warriors and other non-Mage professionals with limited elemental affinity to manipulate the elements.
