I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 680: Heaven-Defying New Ability! Skill Sharing Between Two Systems!
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
Lin Yi had always been a person of extreme gentleness.
Whether with his family or his friends, this demeanor never changed.
Any ruthlessness or darkness was strictly reserved for his enemies.
Little Ao Shu, witnessing Lin Yi's expression for the very first time, was genuinely taken aback.
The instant Lin Yi placed her back on the ground, her eyes brimmed with confusion and sheer terror.
Her most profound fear was that her closest elder brother, Lin Yi, might no longer want her.
"Master, I understand I was wrong. Ao Shu will never be so presumptuous again. Please forgive me, Master! I beg you not to abandon me."
Little Ao Shu had experienced far too few harsh lessons from the world.
Even the Three-headed Ancestral Dragon within the War Pet Space remained silent and offered no comfort, indicating that Lin Yi was facing difficulties too great to share with Ao Shu.
Observing the sheer panic and dread flooding Ao Shu's face, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
Meanwhile, a cunning glint flickered across Wu Juedian's face, and he scoffed inwardly:
"Heh, truly, what celestial prodigy, reaching this point, isn't ultimately self-centered? Well, you should touch that Spirit Awakening Stone sooner. The faster I, Wu Juedian, can completely seize control of your fate."
"It's such a minor matter, hardly worth taking seriously. However, this is crucial for improving your strength, so Lin Yi, don't just stand there—get to it quickly~"
Wu Juedian interjected, seemingly to smooth things over, but his true intention was clear: urging Lin Yi to touch the Spirit Awakening Stone without delay.
At this very moment, Xiyue also began to sense that something was amiss with Wu Juedian.
To avoid raising further suspicion, Lin Yi offered a slight smile and immediately placed his hand upon the Spirit Awakening Stone. In the following instant, a dark purple warming current, accompanied by a peculiar source power fluctuation, surged into Lin Yi's body.
What was this dark purple warming current? Even without deploying the Eye of All-Seeing, one could easily surmise it was a potent, slow-acting poison, entering the body with remarkable speed and dominance.
Lin Yi's hand had been on the stone for less than a second, yet the purple sheen emanating from it visibly dimmed. Unsurprisingly, the fierce, chronic poison had already been fully absorbed into Lin Yi's system.
As for the special source power, that was indeed a beneficial element.
Despite Wu Juedian's rather malevolent scheme, he was, after all, the Martial Emperor of Xiang Wuxing. He hadn't entirely misled Lin Yi regarding the Spirit Awakening Stone's capabilities.
The instant the unique energy from the Spirit Awakening Stone entered his body, an inner court rapidly began to take shape within Lin Yi's divine sense, forming a basic structure within mere seconds.
Once the inner court was completely established, Lin Yi immediately commenced reciting the cultivation method from the Dubhe Strange Scripture.
Indeed, this time, he gained a completely fresh perspective on the cryptic and seemingly incomprehensible passages within the Dubhe Strange Scripture.
While it wasn't quite direct comprehension, Lin Yi could sense he had finally found some threads of understanding along paths that previously seemed impassable.
The prospect of integrating the cultivation techniques detailed in the Dubhe Strange Scripture into his own skill set and making them active abilities now appeared unlikely to be achieved swiftly.
However, Lin Yi possessed more than just the Dubhe Strange Scripture cultivation technique at his disposal.
Following the perusal of the Red-haired Old Ghost's memories, the myriad of cultivation techniques and internal skills that the Red-haired Old Ghost had mastered now belonged to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi casually selected an internal method from the Iron-Cutting Skill and began reciting it.
As anticipated, everything unfolded precisely as Wu Juedian had described.
When straightforward cultivation techniques are encountered by exceptionally gifted individuals, they become indelibly imprinted in the practitioner's mind, manifesting through martial arts demonstrations within the inner court.
In mere moments, Lin Yi's skill panel displayed a new low-tier skill, aptly named Iron-Cutting Cross Slash.
The most astonishing revelation was the sight of a skill upgrade button adjacent to the newly acquired skill.
"[Consume 500 skill points, your Iron-Cutting Cross Slash has upgraded, obtaining a new skill: Broken Iron Sword!]"
"[Consume 2000 skill points, your Broken Iron Sword has upgraded, obtaining a new skill: Full Moon Slash!]"
"[Consume 5000 skill points, your Full Moon Slash has upgraded, obtaining a new skill: Frost Condensing Sword Qi!]"
"[Consume 10000 skill points, your Frost Condensing Sword Qi has upgraded, obtaining a new skill: Moonlight Flash!]"
"[Consume 50000 skill points, your Night Flash Strike has upgraded, obtaining a new skill: Cold Frost Pendant!]"
Lin Yi soon grew weary of the repetitive process of upgrading such basic skills.
These particular skills, it seemed, would only offer efficacy against minor adversaries. In formal confrontations, their utility might even be negligible.
Consequently, Lin Yi made the decision to halt their further enhancement.
Although he possessed an abundance of skill points, squandering them unnecessarily was not a prudent course of action.
Nevertheless, the exhilaration bubbling within Lin Yi's chest could not be effectively concealed.
Remarkable!
Truly astonishing!
Lin Yi's heart was awash with an irrepressible sense of delight; he had genuinely not anticipated that his skill panel would possess the capacity to accommodate two distinct systems.
To put it plainly, irrespective of whether the new skills were acquired through profession-changing Spirit Crystals or were introduced via the inner court established with the Spirit Awakening Stone, they would all manifest upon Lin Yi’s skill panel.
Lin Yi could adeptly utilize skill points to upgrade abilities on his skill panel, and simultaneously, he could persistently practice martial arts to deepen his comprehension, thereby earning opportunities for free advancements.
However, Lin Yi was acutely aware that regardless of his exceptional innate talent, the pace at which skills could be comprehended would never rival the swiftness of upgrading through the expenditure of skill points.
This novel capability was something Lin Yi greatly appreciated.
And undoubtedly, everyone across Blue Star would come to cherish it as well.
Lin Yi represented an anomaly, for he was not wanting in skill points.
When considering the entirety of Blue Star, who else besides Lin Yi could confidently assert they possessed a plethora of skill points?
Individuals aspiring to comprehend Forbidden Curses were compelled, whether through relentless grinding or substantial financial investment to acquire them, to overcome significant hurdles. Ordinary individuals lacked the requisite energy and circumstances for such pursuits.
Yet, the moment Lin Yi introduced the Spirit Awakening Stone to the broader world, Blue Star's collective might would inevitably ascend to a higher echelon.
Amidst this surge of excitement, his thoughts gradually returned to the present circumstances.
"What do you think, young friend? This item is quite remarkable, is it not? You should have completed the integration of the inner court by now, correct?"
Wu Juedian's inquiry, while perhaps lacking absolute sincerity, accompanied a gift that was genuinely commendable—a new ability for Lin Yi that was undeniably potent.
"Thank you, Senior Martial Emperor! This newfound capability holds immense importance for me. I am confident that this inner court will propel my strength to an entirely unprecedented level in the near future."
Having voiced his sentiments, he courteously extended his hand, signaling his intent for a formal handshake with Wu Juedian.
For this gesture, Lin Yi conveyed his profound and heartfelt gratitude.
The mutual satisfaction derived from each party achieving their desired outcomes, despite underlying stratagems, created a rather agreeable atmosphere.
Observing Lin Yi's extended hand, Wu Juedian exhibited a brief moment of hesitation before promptly reciprocating, clasping Lin Yi's hand.
"Young friend Lin Yi, your words are too generous. This is but a minor token. While top-tier Spirit Awakening Stones are indeed scarce, they are not considered extraordinary rarities to someone of my standing, Wu Juedian. If you find yourself fond of it, consider it a gift. What are your thoughts on this proposal?"
This development was certainly unexpected!
Despite Lin Yi's verbal affirmations, his hands remained in motion. With a mere exertion of his will, the exquisitely clear, violet gem vanished into his personal spatial inventory.
