I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 657: Good Thing I’m a Transmigrator
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
Cheng Xiao observed Xiyue’s absorption of the Star Core with a calm demeanor.
The entire procedure was straightforward and lacked any sophisticated techniques.
With Lin Yi, a veritable spring of power, present, Xiyue fearlessly confronted the might of the Primordial.
After a considerable duration, Cheng Xiao found himself once more reclining at ease on the deck chair.
He had, by this point, accepted the inherent differences between individuals. With respect to Blue Star, he considered himself sufficiently formidable and no longer harbored anxieties about his own strength.
"It appears you do not intend to pursue them further. Are you genuinely considering entrusting Blue Star's future to him?"
Xu Sheng procured his own deck chair and settled beside Cheng Xiao, both men relishing the gentle breeze caressing their faces in a state of profound comfort.
"What other recourse do I have, Mr. Xiu? Although you are not a combatant, you are acutely aware that the boy's power is beyond compare. Even if I, Cheng Xiao, were to dedicate my entire existence to cultivation without rest or sustenance, I could never hope to match his progress. Furthermore, certain matters are not ours to concern ourselves with."
Cheng Xiao offered a resigned smile, articulating his genuine sentiments: Despite Mr. Xiu's impassioned arguments the other day, what was the ultimate outcome? It was Lin Yi who ultimately secured the Elemental Star.
Shenxiao, the ship's stern.
A colossal, cocoon-like structure hovered above.
Ever since Ao Shu had consumed the snake-headed Divine Envoy, she had entered a state of seclusion.
Ao Zhan and the three dragons maintained a vigilant watch over her, never deviating from their posts, clearly perceiving the continuous augmentation of their Dragon God's power.
The three dragons, who had resided within the dimension for numerous years, had initially resolved to support the recently emerged Dragon Emperor unequivocally, aiming to reinstate the Dragon Race to its former eminence.
However, as the days dwindled, a growing sense of despair began to afflict them.
Frequently, these three elder dragons found themselves questioning their own significance.
Professing worldly wisdom and extensive knowledge, it was only upon encountering Lin Yi that they apprehended why, at the apex of the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, the Three Realms and Six Paths, the Dragon Race was not the inherently dominant power.
When juxtaposed with human prodigies possessing cultivation talents akin to supernatural abilities, what was the true standing of the Dragon Race?
During periods of idleness, the trio of elder dragons would engage in discussions concerning the future trajectory of the Dragon Race, inevitably leading to deliberations about Ao Shu's prospective consort.
Given her supreme lineage within the Dragon Race, Ao Shu's potential was boundless; her progeny were destined for the zenith of Blue Star.
The selection of a formidable partner for Ao Shu was certain to be approached with the utmost circumspection.
Ao Hun, being the most vocal, promptly initiated matchmaking endeavors without hesitation.
"What cause is there for deliberation? Surveying the entirety of Blue Star, and even among the three planets affiliated with it, no individual possesses a lineage that can rival Lady Ao Shu's. Not even that crimson fiend from Izak Planet previously, who was merely a buffoon posturing extravagantly."
"Across all of Blue Star, only the Master is deemed worthy of Lady Ao Shu."
"While the Master is human and lacks extraordinary bloodline abilities, his prowess is undeniable. Moreover, you are all well aware of the advantages conferred by aligning with the Master. I contend that to restore the Dragon Race's former glory, our sole reliance must be upon the Master."
Ao Hun's assertion swiftly elicited counterarguments from Ao Lie.
"You propose this with undue ease. Are you unaware of Xia's deeply ingrained traditions? Filial piety is paramount; have you not heard? Can you not perceive the profound affection the Master's parents harbor for that young lady, Xiyue?"
"That young lady is no ordinary individual. Do you wish for Lady Ao Shu to face defeat at her hands?"
As their exchange progressed, the three dragons were suddenly seized by an inexplicable chill coursing down their spines.
Two formidable auras materialized abruptly, without the slightest harbinger.
Without even indulging in a glance, they recognized the identities of the newcomers. Moreover, without turning their heads, the three dragons could easily visualize the palpable displeasure contorting the features of the young lady accompanying them.
"Heh, are you three venerable elders not indulging in excessive idleness, engaging in idle gossip concerning your mistress? Are you not concerned about facing repercussions?"
Ao Zhan, Ao Hun, and Ao Lie, all supreme beings at the Ancestral Dragon stage, possessed strength that eclipsed even that of the War God who commanded the Supreme Law.
Just as the three dragons prepared to retort that even this young lady was no match for them, Ao Zhan was the first to perceive a subtle shift in Xiyue.
He detected an aura of menace emanating from her person!
Ao Zhan's countenance was etched with utter astonishment, leaving his two brethren utterly bewildered.
"Brother, what is the matter?"
Ao Zhan had barely commenced his inquiry when he too sensed Xiyue’s transformation.
He distinctly perceived a lethal aura emanating from Xiyue.
How could this be possible?!
During their prior encounter, this young lady was demonstrably inferior to the three dragons. How had her capabilities advanced so precipitously? More importantly, the three great Ancestral Dragons were utterly incapable of discerning the origin of this emergent peril.
Lin Yi offered a slight smile as he spoke.
"Little Ao Shu's power has vastly improved; judging by her current pace, she should be able to break out of the cocoon within a week. By then, I’ll take her away."
Hearing this, Ao Zhan and the three dragons couldn’t help but feel tense.
Lin Yi taking Little Ao Shu out to explore was somewhat dangerous.
It’s not that the three dragons doubted Lin Yi’s strength, but truth be told, there are always people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains; this principle cannot be wrong.
Better safe than sorry; if they offended some formidable figure by accident, Little Ao Shu would be in real danger.
Of course, this concern only lasted for a moment before it completely dissipated.
All this talk of Dragon God masters was just empty talk.
Before his passing, Ao Xuan had entrusted that regardless of what realm his child achieved in the future, Little Ao Shu would always be Lin Yi’s battle pet.
Moreover, Little Ao Shu’s ability to acquire the Dragon God bloodline was thanks to Lin Yi’s efforts.
"Master, isn’t this a bit hasty?"
Lin Yi shook his head.
"It's not exactly hasty. The Great Saint is about to awaken. If he sees that I, Lin Yi, am still loitering around Blue Star without achieving any substantial accomplishments, he'd probably be quite disappointed."
"Besides, you three know very well. In the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, strength is what matters. To establish oneself and control one's fate, one must continually grow stronger."
After speaking, Lin Yi sat cross-legged and, with a thought, various materials from his portable space flew straight out.
Among them, what caught the most attention of the three dragons were the Star Cores from the other three planets.
The Power of the Primordial enveloping the three Star Cores was incredibly formidable.
Just looking at them imparted a chilling, hair-raising feeling.
Despite their strength, the three old fellows dared not touch them.
After all, those were three Star Cores.
To achieve such accomplishments at such a young age, one can only imagine where this young individual would be in several decades.
As a Transmigrator, Lin Yi knew the secrets of refining materials.
Using the perfect amount of heat to burn away impurities, leaving only the purest elements, and then fusing the materials according to refining methods to complete the process.
"Master, you can also refine materials? Truly surprising for an old fellow like me."
