I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 677: Hot Commodity Lin Yi

After obtaining the Spirit Crystal for his class change, Wu Jue Dian found himself engrossed in researching the transformation and hunting for skill point source crystals.

The subsequent class change mission, triggered by the Spirit Crystal's activation, was intrinsically linked to the resources and inhabitants of the galaxy.

For the formidable Wu Jue Dian, such a quest presented no significant challenge.

However, a profound vexation troubled him: even upon completing the mission, new skills remained elusive. His existing skill resources comprised a mere two skill point source crystals, totaling a paltry 30 skill points, barely sufficient for minor skill enhancements.

Now, confronted with an unexpected windfall of twenty thousand skill points, how could Wu Jue Dian possibly maintain his composure?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to suggest Wu Jue Dian would abandon all pride and prostrate himself before Lin Yi, given the chance.

What disgrace lies in accumulating more skill points, in ascending to greater strength, in achieving complete mastery over the [Dubhe Strange Scripture]?

The moment his own Source Power resonated with the class change Spirit Crystal, Wu Jue Dian gained access to his personal system panel, enabling him to meticulously survey his various attributes.

As he attempted to utilize the attribute points gifted by Lin Yi to augment his initial acquired skill, [Charged Slash], a novel system prompt, unheard before, finally resonated.

[500 skill points consumed. Your Charged Slash has advanced, unlocking a new skill: Instantaneous Blade Draw Cut!]

Gazing upon the second-tier swordsmanship skill now appended to his skill panel, the Martial Emperor, who had governed the entirety of Xiang Wuxing with an unshakeable will for a millennium, was overcome with such elation that coherent speech failed him.

"Lin, Lin Yi, my young friend, you possessed these skill points all along! And you've bestowed upon this Emperor twenty thousand at once!"

"I, how can I possibly express my gratitude, Lin Yi my young friend? This Emperor... perhaps you would grace my Treasure Pavilion with your presence? If anything catches your eye, please, take it without reservation!"

After languishing for so many years without any surge in power, his capabilities finally perceived a glimmer of hope for advancement.

In this instant, Wu Jue Dian's gratitude towards Lin Yi was utterly genuine.

Despite the Martial Emperor's elevated status, holding dominion over all of Xiang Wuxing.

Little did anyone know that, during a past confrontation with an elite force of the Shadow Tribe, the Martial Emperor had inadvertently lost a fragment of his shadow, inflicting upon him an affliction beyond cure.

Observing the steady ebb of his life force, a sense of panic began to take root.

He had even been preparing for a desperate, life-or-death struggle against the Shadow Tribe, seeking a final catalyst for breakthrough.

But that necessity had now vanished.

With Lin Yi present, the impossible became attainable.

"Haha, esteemed Martial Emperor, you jest. This is hardly a grand bestowal, merely a spontaneous offering. However, even if it doesn't produce a monumental impact, I can present you with another twenty thousand points in an hour."

Upon hearing this, a profound tremor coursed through Wu Jue Dian, his excitement palpable.

"Is that truly possible?"

Wu Jue Dian's outward appearance visibly rejuvenated, shedding years.

The standing of Lin Yi and his companions across all of Xiang Wuxing underwent a dramatic transformation.

From the moment everyone personally witnessed the Martial Emperor's deferential treatment of Lin Yi, they understood precisely how to interact with this young man moving forward and what demeanor to adopt towards the Dubhe Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion, it seemed, Lin Yi would indeed visit.

Accompanied by the three young ladies, they meticulously cleared out every rare item within its confines.

With an anomalous identification ability like the [Eye of All-Seeing], what treasures could possibly elude Lin Yi's sharp perception?

As numerous valuable items were taken, the hearts of the Treasure Pavilion's guards ached profoundly.

All of Xiang Wuxing's finest treasures were concentrated within these walls; they had guarded them for centuries, never receiving so much as a reward from the Martial Emperor, nor daring to harbor even the slightest illicit desire.

Witnessing Lin Yi's group abscond with all the prime articles sent the guards' blood pressure soaring.

Even their subsequent report to the Martial Emperor was met with complete indifference.

Within the Martial Emperor Hall, concealed within a secret chamber.

Three figures knelt in unison, facing a singular direction.

Upon closer scrutiny, it was revealed they were indeed the three Grand Elders representing the three major pavilions across the three continents.

"Congratulations, Martial Emperor."

"After thousands of years, you have finally awaited the arrival of the one you so ardently desired."

"Waited? Nay, this was clearly the Martial Emperor's own decisive action! Without the resolve to sever an arm for survival back then, how could the Martial Emperor today welcome another chance for breakthrough? It is unequivocally the Martial Emperor's brilliance and heroism!"

"Undoubtedly, the Martial Emperor's wisdom surpasses our comprehension. When the Dubhe Pavilion..."

The effusive words of the red-haired trio were abruptly silenced by a stern cough emanating from the shadows.

"Cough, cough, have I not made it clear? Matters concerning Dubhe Pavilion are not to be mentioned again. Do the three of you intend to disregard my words as the Emperor? Perhaps you require a reminder of my displeasure!"

As the words resounded, a potent surge of the Power of the Primordial emanated, causing the three kneeling figures to tremble and stagger back several steps.

Thud, thud, thud~

Swiftly, their heads struck the ground in rapid succession.

"Martial Emperor, your subordinates acknowledge their transgressions! We know we are wrong!"

"We shall erase this matter entirely from our minds. Should we dare to utter another word, we will tear out our own tongues."

Satisfied with their pledge, Wu Jue Dian retracted his imposing Power of the Primordial and resumed his seat upon the throne.

"The past of Dubhe Pavilion is a secret known only to the four of us. Every cultivator involved in the Dubhe Pavilion operation back then has been eliminated; none survived. If any of you three wish to join their ranks, this Emperor is more than willing to facilitate it."

"Were it not for your years of unwavering loyalty to this Emperor, hmph!"

The unspoken threat in Wu Jue Dian’s statement was unmistakably clear to the trio.

For them to advance further, their only recourse was to place their trust in Lin Yi.

Until the situation was fully under their control, they absolutely could not afford to arouse Lin Yi’s suspicions; he was their sole avenue for acquiring skill points!

"Thank you, Martial Emperor!"

Wu Jue Dian remained entirely unmoved by the elders' sycophantic praise.

Such declarations, he had heard them echo for millennia and had grown utterly weary.

"Have you prepared what I instructed the three of you to arrange?"

At his inquiry, the faces of the three elders instantly brightened with eager anticipation.

While they might not excel in other areas, their proficiency in orchestrating clandestine schemes was indeed their forte.

"Naturally, Martial Emperor, rest assured! This undertaking will present absolutely no complications. That brat will detect nothing amiss, and by the time he realizes something is wrong, it will likely be far too late, as he will have already become your unquestioning slave."

Hearing the elders’ confident assurances, a glint of eager anticipation sparked in the Martial Emperor’s eyes.

The following day, the Martial Emperor’s decree was proclaimed throughout the entirety of Xiang Wuxing:

The young prodigy Lin Yi possesses unparalleled strength, serving as an exemplary model for all the younger generation within Xiang Wuxing. He has made exceptionally significant contributions towards the future prosperity of Xiang Wuxing. Consequently, Lin Yi is hereby bestowed the esteemed title of Martial God, granting him privileges and status equivalent to that of the Martial Emperor within Xiang Wuxing, until the very end of Xiang Wuxing’s existence!

The instant this decree was disseminated, a wave of astonishment swept through every young individual in Xiang Wuxing.

In the entire thousand-year history of Xiang Wuxing, no one had ever been elevated to such an extraordinary echelon of honor.
