I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 662: Final Gentle Farewell, Goodbye Blue Star

Given the present circumstances, there's no longer any reason to hold back.

Since Senior Sister has unleashed her true capabilities, Lin Yi is determined to ensure she experiences it to the absolute fullest.

[Forbidden Curse: Land of Deathly Silence]

An overwhelming wave of chilling frost instantly enveloped the entirety of the arena.

A fine, ethereal mist descended, obscuring the vision of every spectator, and all colors seemed to surrender their vibrancy, fading into a monotonous, vast expanse of gray.

‘This youngster Lin Yi is truly unforgiving, even against his own Senior Sister!’

Upon witnessing the manifestation of the Land of Deathly Silence, the old cat felt as though he was seeing the inevitable defeat of Wei Shengtian.

The formidable might of Lin Yi’s Eternal Law, Wanchong Mountain had experienced it firsthand; even a War God wielding the Supreme Law found it insurmountable, let alone Wei Shengtian, who had yet to fully grasp the Harmonization Layer of the Supreme Law.

However, after the old cat let out a sigh, the outcome he had envisioned did not materialize.

Enveloped completely by the Infinite Law, Wei Shengtian’s speed was only marginally diminished.

That’s correct, Lin Yi deliberately refrained from employing the Power of Law at the Harmonization Level to overwhelm Wei Shengtian. Instead, he consciously suppressed his own might to a specific degree.

Even without resorting to the Power of Law, Lin Yi’s current extraordinarily potent attributes allowed his punches to achieve a speed that Wei Shengtian, even with her Forbidden Curse, could not hope to match.

"Junior, receive this!"

With a fierce cry, Wei Shengtian unleashed an unending barrage of punches aimed at Lin Yi.

To reciprocate Wei Shengtian’s fierce offensive, Lin Yi, in turn, eschewed the use of any Forbidden Curse, relying solely on the most fundamental Body Skill, launching a direct punch to intercept Wei Shengtian’s assault.

Boom boom boom!

With every single collision of their fists, immense waves of Source Power erupted, causing the entire platform to shudder with each impact.

Yet, this trembling did not cease; instead, it escalated in terrifying frequency.

The sheer intensity of the disturbance generated by their exchange rendered the entire arena a blur.

The grand platform itself was obscured, and even more so were the figures of the two combatants.

Augmented by [Illusion Destruction], Wei Shengtian’s speed had already surpassed the capacity of the naked eye; within the entirety of Shenxiao, save for those at the War God Level, no one could track her movements.

Yet, even at this elevated level of speed, Wei Shengtian remained utterly incapable of inflicting the slightest harm upon Lin Yi.

Bolstered by the aid of laws, Lin Yi possessed nearly inexhaustible reserves of stamina and Source Power.

Failing to secure victory in a brief period, only one conclusion was inevitable.

Fierce initiation, followed by a decline, and ultimately, exhaustion.

Indeed, following the conclusion of the eighth-tier skill, [Holy Hammer True Form], Wei Shengtian’s onslaught began to noticeably wane.

Devoid of its massive damage immunity, each direct clash with Lin Yi’s sheer strength imposed immense strain upon her physical form.

The rapid-fire exchanges progressively caused the Qi and blood within her body to stagnate, her complexion growing increasingly pallid.

After countless exchanges of blows with Lin Yi, this foremost figure of Shenxiao could no longer sustain herself. Her body, pushed to the absolute brink of collapse, began to bleed profusely, the scarlet streams cascading onto the arena floor as Lin Yi forcefully slammed her down.

This stark display utterly extinguished the dwindling hopes of the Shenxiao students.

They had harbored the belief that with their revered Senior Sister unleashing her ultimate techniques and Lin Yi deliberately tempering his strength, even in defeat, it wouldn’t transpire this swiftly, would it?

This time, Wei Shengtian was unequivocally unable to rise.

The hearts of the Shenxiao students, which had been buoyed by a thread of hope, finally succumbed to the weight of defeat.

With a body on the verge of utter disintegration and completely drained, even the most resolute will made of iron could not compel her to stand once more.

"Senior Sister, I am aware that you would prefer I not show any leniency. I offer my apologies for any perceived offense and implore you not to hold this junior accountable."

"It is regrettable, but this victory, the foremost among Shenxiao’s Ten Elites, this junior of yours..."

Just as Lin Yi was poised to proclaim his triumph, the old cat intervened.

"Mr. Lin, this victory may not ultimately be yours. You previously stated that in your engagement with this young lady, Wei Shengtian, you would refrain from employing strength exceeding that which she possessed on the day she forfeited without a fight."

"But what of your exceptional evasion and your invincible passive ability?"

"Even if you did not intentionally deploy them, did they not still contravene the established rules?"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Yi’s countenance shifted to one of sudden, dawning realization: Could it be that this contest would, in fact, result in my loss? The academy tutor designated for arbitration swiftly advanced and formally declared the outcome of the battle: Wei Shengtian is victorious!

Following this pronouncement, not only the assembled spectators but even Wei Shengtian herself was presented with a state of utter bewilderment.

She attempted to summon forth her remaining strength to rise from the ground, yet despite her most strenuous efforts, she could not locate even a sliver of energy within her.

"Junior, please do not grant me victory in this manner; it brings me greater sorrow than outright defeat. I am well aware that my skills are no match for yours, and it is impossible for me to overcome you. Simply having the opportunity to contend alongside you today has filled me with immense happiness."

As anticipated.

Wei Shengtian truly offered no quarter.

For Wei Shengtian, the ability to spar with Lin Yi and unleash her fists with such freedom was already a source of immense satisfaction.

At the very least, she had gained a clear understanding of her own limitations.

Aware that Wei Shengtian might not readily accept the outcome, Lan Ruoxi quickly stepped forward to clarify the situation.

"Fellow students, this is how matters stand: We have all witnessed the formidable strength displayed by Mr. Lin Yi. However, he inadvertently breached the very rules he himself had established. Even without malicious intent, the infraction still stands. Consequently, Wei Shengtian has emerged victorious in this bout."

The students and faculty of Shenxiao, who had been silently observing from the stands, finally erupted in jubilant cheers.

It seemed that with dedicated effort, one could aspire to keep pace with Lin Yi's achievements during his own student days.

"Now, let us extend our congratulations to Wei Shengtian of Nuwa Academy for securing the top position in Shenxiao, earning the privileges and resources befitting of first place!"

Lin Yi observed the thunderous applause from the crowd with a subtle, almost imperceptible smile.

He then discreetly employed the Power of Creation, instantly mending Wei Shengtian’s injuries from a considerable distance.

As Wei Shengtian was carried aloft by jubilant students onto the victory platform, Wanchong Mountain and Lan Ruoxi approached Lin Yi discreetly.

"My boy, you're far shrewder than I gave you credit for. I was curious to see how you would orchestrate a fair victory for young Wei Shengtian with your capabilities, but I never envisioned this."

"Mr. Lin, on behalf of the Shenxiao students, I offer our sincere gratitude. Your efforts today have served as a profound inspiration, and should they recall this battle when facing adversity on their cultivation path, it will undoubtedly grant them invaluable insights."

Lin Yi simply offered Lan Ruoxi a smile in response to her heartfelt thanks.

For a student of Shenxiao, contributing back to the academy after acquiring knowledge was a natural expectation.

With these words, the event officially concluded.

Lost within the throng of departing spectators, a pair of exquisite eyes gazed wistfully in the direction where Lin Yi had vanished.

She understood that from this moment forward, it would be exceedingly difficult to encounter the person she held dear ever again.

Among the myriad of War Gods gracing Blue Star, not a single one possessed the qualifications to stand by his side, let alone herself, an individual of ordinary or mid-tier standing.

There exists no greater regret in this vast world than this.

The one person I cannot bear to part with does not reciprocate my feelings.
