I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 709: Masterfully Navigating All Parties with High Emotional Intelligence
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
The formidable strength possessed by the woman was certainly enough for her to lead the 346 War Gods trailing behind her.
Furthermore, her perception was exceptionally sharp. The instant she realized she couldn't discern Lin Yi's true power, she wisely abandoned any notion of direct confrontation.
Although she was accountable to the Blue Star Professional Alliance, risking her life solely to uphold the prestige of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance was not her intention.
The broadcast footage had, in fact, failed to fully convey Lin Yi's capabilities.
It was only upon standing directly before him that she truly grasped the extent of Lin Yi's power.
Upon encountering Lin Yi, she displayed no hostility; instead, her demeanor softened, and her tone became remarkably polite.
"Yes, it is I. Is there something you require?"
The journalists who had been eagerly interviewing He Shuai, upon noticing the presence of Blue Star's most prominent organization, immediately swiveled their cameras to focus on Lin Yi's location.
Well, it does seem like things have finally been resolved.
The appearance of the Blue Star Professional Alliance immediately allowed He Shuai to grasp his impending fate.
As the journalists continued their live broadcast, shifting their attention to him, he had spoken the unvarnished truth.
However, these truths prompted public skepticism towards the official bodies, causing them to question the authorities' capacity to safeguard citizens and whether these professionals truly deserved their esteemed positions.
Credibility is a vital asset that necessitates careful maintenance.
Those who undermine official credibility must inevitably face appropriate consequences.
Previously, with numerous cameras pointed at He Shuai, it had been exceedingly difficult for the representatives of the Blue Star Professional Alliance to act against him directly.
The moment the broadcasting equipment turned away from him, He Shuai felt an intense chill creeping up his spine.
Indeed, in the very next second, a group of ten professionals from the Alliance, including Xia's War Gods, materialized directly behind him.
With no cameras capturing the scene, He Shuai was acutely aware of his situation.
Lin Yi felt a surge of satisfaction that the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance had dispatched formidable professionals to address the situation, which naturally lifted his spirits. Consequently, his demeanor remained affable as he spoke, significantly easing Selena's apprehension.
"Greetings, I am Selena, the designated representative of the Blue Star Professional Alliance. I am accompanied by over three hundred War God elites. On behalf of the entire Blue Star Professional Alliance, I wish to extend our profound gratitude to Mr. Lin Yi."
"Confronting external threats is inherently the responsibility of our Blue Star Professional Alliance. The fact that Mr. Lin Yi had to intervene on our behalf is, quite frankly, a source of our embarrassment."
The reality that Lin Yi, alongside Xiyue, had bravely faced external threats could not be erased by any statement the Blue Star Professional Alliance might issue.
To question Lin Yi, with hundreds of broadcasting devices focused on the scene, regarding the supposed harm inflicted upon the Beautiful Country's War Gods would undoubtedly paint the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance in a rather petty light.
Such inquiries would not only showcase the magnanimity of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance but also serve to alleviate the pressure Selena felt when confronting Lin Yi.
Selena's approach in addressing him was, in fact, precisely as Lin Yi had anticipated.
"There is no need for such formalities. As fellow humans, surely we should not allow ourselves to be bullied by monsters, correct?"
After uttering these words, Lin Yi offered a slight smile and playfully winked at Selena.
Huh? Was that directed at me?
After confirming that Lin Yi's gaze was indeed fixed upon her, Selena inquired with a touch of curiosity.
"Mr. Lin Yi, could you elaborate on what you mean by that?"
Isn't the meaning rather self-evident? Did all three hundred of you journey here merely to express thanks?
Being addressed in such a manner by Lin Yi left Selena feeling a sense of mild embarrassment.
"If that is the case, I shall be direct: Mr. Lin, would you permit us to assume responsibility for this battlefield? As the designated Guardians of Blue Star, this…"
I was merely concerned you wouldn't show up; if you hadn't, how could Xiyue have ascended to her current esteemed position?
Before Selena could complete her statement, Lin Yi interjected.
"Please hold on for a moment, everyone. I shall retrieve Xiyue."
With those words, Lin Yi immediately activated his skill, [Intertwining Light and Shadow], instantly teleporting to the space between the clashing Xiyue and Moloch.
The instant Lin Yi materialized, Moloch's eyes seemed to regain clarity.
A distance spanning over ten kilometers vanished in the blink of an eye, an astonishing feat that left the War Gods of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance in sheer disbelief.
While speed is not the sole determinant of a War God's might, it is undoubtedly a critical metric.
For an offensive-type War God like Selena, superior speed is even more paramount.
Given Lin Yi's extraordinary velocity, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to declare him the fastest being in this world.
What was even more profoundly concerning was his audacity to appear between two combatants locked in fierce battle, effortlessly neutralizing both their subsequent attacks with his bare hands.
The War Gods of the Blue Star Professional Alliance, alongside the high-ranking officials from various nations observing from behind, felt an internal tremor of apprehension:
Is Lin Yi actually human? Or is he perhaps a monster in disguise?
"May I depart now?"
Surprisingly, a simple grin flickered across Moloch’s monstrous, bovine face, a sight that unexpectedly brought Lin Yi a sense of ease.
"Well, you see, departing isn't quite an option at this moment."
Lin Yi gestured towards the boundary he had erected, indicating the exit.
"Observe. The cultivators on this planet deemed a duel against Xiyue an affront to their pride and a stain on their reputations. Consequently, they have gathered, intending to end your existence."
"Do you have any final words? Are you going to stand and fight?"
Moloch’s expression immediately soured upon hearing this.
It was evident that Lin Yi was not affording him any chance of survival; his intention was to eliminate him.
Throughout the engagement with Xiyue, Moloch had continuously replenished Xiyue’s energy. Despite Xiyue’s shortcomings, the prolonged expenditure came at the steep price of his own soul power.
Just as Moloch was contemplating an accusation of exploitation against Lin Yi, a hand was placed firmly on his shoulder.
In an instant, Moloch’s clouded eyes regained clarity.
"Perform admirably, do not fail me. Restrain yourself, refrain from killing them; I still have need of them."
Moloch felt as though he had been manipulated.
However, as he felt the surge of potent power coursing through him, his spirits lifted instantly.
He was profoundly thankful that he had chosen not to oppose Lin Yi; it had, without a doubt, been a most judicious decision.
One must admit, as a transmigrator, Lin Yi possessed a remarkably cunning mind.
After a brief, simple adjustment, Moloch felt a stirring of emotion.
"Understood!"
Moloch clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Lin Yi, alight with excitement and bordering on reverence.
"To all members of the Blue Star Professional Alliance, the ongoing conflict has reached a successful conclusion. Xiyue is now utterly spent and cannot sustain the fight much longer. Indeed, it falls upon you to safeguard the honor of Blue Star."
Lin Yi’s proclamation was successfully recorded and disseminated to every inhabitant of Blue Star who was observing the broadcast.
The news was met with immense relief by the high-ranking officials across Blue Star’s various nations.
The palpable tension within the headquarters of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance finally receded.
"Heh, this young man certainly knows how to navigate social dynamics, doesn't he? Well said, executed perfectly. Let us cease any further targeting of him; we shall let this matter rest."
A suggestion was voiced within the confines of the conference room.
