I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 719: Divine Skill of Whaling Top-Up
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
Lin Yi’s initial aerial suspension seemed jarring, but it quickly transitioned into a sense of normalcy.
There was no other way around it. For the past half month, Lin Yi and the luminous orb representing Xiyue had become the central focus of Parallel Blue Star. After repeated viewings over ten days, how could people not become accustomed to it?
Throughout these past ten-plus days, the higher echelons of the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance had actively engaged in marketing Xiyue.
The populace had personally witnessed Xiyue's heroic act of saving Blue Star, making it impossible for the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance to distort the truth. Their only recourse was to heavily emphasize the close bond between the alliance and Xiyue, thereby safeguarding the alliance's reputation.
While Xiyue entered seclusion to refine the Moloch Divine Power Origin, the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance did not remain inactive.
Numerous discussion topics centered on Xiyue were created, and even global fan clubs were established for Xiyue in various regions.
Despite Lin Yi's Divine Sense being continuously absorbed in Inner Court cultivation, he remained fully aware of external developments.
Lin Yi had no intention of impeding their actions in this regard.
Whatever fanciful narratives the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance spun were entirely unrelated to Xiyue.
To be frank, it was merely the Parallel Blue Star Professional Alliance indulging in wishful thinking.
However, by doing so, their popularity, fame, and influence were amplified, which ultimately benefited Xiyue.
Cultivating within the Inner Court proved to be exceptionally demanding.
For an ordinary individual, engaging in Inner Court cultivation for seven to eight hours would deplete nearly all their energy. To persist, a period of sleep would be necessary to restore their vitality.
Fortunately, Lin Yi had the backing of the Immortal Law and the Immortal Fruit, granting him virtually boundless physical strength and stamina.
Nevertheless, dedicating half a month consecutively to Inner Court cultivation was indeed quite taxing.
Had the Dubhe Strange Scripture been merely the preliminary stage of the unbreakable segment of the Eight-Nine Mystical Skill, Lin Yi would have achieved mastery by now.
Although Lin Yi had not yet fully mastered the Dubhe Strange Scripture acquired from Zhang Yun, enabling him to integrate it into his skill tree, he could distinctly sense progress in this particular cultivation.
His comprehension of this cultivation technique was continually deepening, suggesting that full mastery and incorporation into his skill set were imminent.
Thanks to the Inner Court, the skills Lin Yi had learned and mastered were successfully woven into his skill tree. Upon reflecting on this, Lin Yi resolved to conduct a thorough examination of this skill.
Accessing the skill panel, he proceeded to click on the skill's details.
[Skill Name: Immortal]
[Skill Type: Passive]
[Skill Level: Unknown]
[Skill System: Unknown]
[Cost: None]
[lv1 Effect: Upon receiving fatal damage, resurrect in a fully restored state, with a cooldown period of one week. This resurrection effect bypasses all direct severance effects.]
[lv2 Effect: Upon receiving fatal damage, resurrect in a fully restored state, with a cooldown period of six days. When defeated, your soul enters an invincible state for 2 minutes, during which you can exert strength exceeding your normal capacity.]
The Immortal skill had now advanced to Level 2, and Lin Yi found it exceedingly difficult to learn it solely through comprehension.
Even with the assistance of the Inner Court, comprehending the third level still required many days of dedicated cultivation.
This Immortal skill possessed the potential to enable Lin Yi to turn the tide of battle at critical junctures. Furthermore, the ability of the resurrection to ignore all direct severance effects instilled in Lin Yi the confidence to explore other realms.
The prospect of existing in an invincible soul state for two minutes after defeat was an exceptionally potent, heaven-defying effect.
During those two minutes of peak performance, Lin Yi could unleash his attacks without any restraint, operating at a level far surpassing his usual capabilities. Within such a state, the likelihood of achieving a counter-kill by employing the Lifebound Law to regenerate his body and resurrect was notably significant.
It was no exaggeration to assert that this skill effectively brought one back from the brink of death.
The substantial enhancement observed from level 1 to level 2 sparked considerable anticipation regarding the potentially terrifying effects of level 3.
Given that the skills comprehended through both systems were general in nature, Lin Yi did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately opened his skill panel and initiated the skill upgrade procedure.
[Consumed 1 million skill points, your Immortal lv2 has successfully upgraded to lv3, unlocking new abilities]
Immortal lv3: Upon receiving fatal damage, resurrect in a fully restored state, with a cooldown period of four days; when defeated, your soul exists in an invincible state for 5 minutes. During this time, you can exert strength exceeding your normal capacity and receive one random plane teleportation opportunity upon the skill's conclusion.
A satisfied smile touched Lin Yi's lips as he observed the newly acquired skill effect.
Indeed, this Immortal skill, a gift from divine teachings bestowed by the upper realms, delivered truly remarkable effects. Each qualitative transformation accompanied its level-up, showcasing its excellence.
The transition from lv2 to lv3 not only shortened the resurrection cooldown and prolonged invincibility but also granted Lin Yi a precious escape route.
Even a formidable entity like Moloch lacked the ability for unfettered planar traversal, rendering this random plane-teleportation effect exceptionally valuable.
This meant that even in a life-or-death confrontation with Moloch, Lin Yi could ultimately extricate himself without a scratch.
Yet, the contentment Lin Yi felt was fleeting.
It struck him with full force moments later.
What in the world?!
He had just depleted one million skill points!
The sheer magnitude of resources required to advance the skill from lv2 to lv3 was staggering, a cost that even Lin Yi, with his heavenly blessings, found difficult to bear.
Nevertheless, the expenditure was undeniably worthwhile.
The upgrade of Immortal from lv2 to lv3 was far more than a mere data adjustment. Introducing a failsafe was arguably more beneficial than acquiring another Forbidden Curse, wasn't it?
It's important to remember that even Divine Power struggles to restrain the Immortal skill.
Regardless, with a substantial balance of skill points remaining, he decided to continue pushing its limits.
[Consumed 3 million skill points, your Immortal advanced from lv3 to lv4, unlocking new abilities]
A deep breath escaped him!
The cost was indeed steep!
The rate at which skill points vanished was astonishing.
Across the entirety of Blue Star, who else possessed the means to enhance such a skill through the allocation of skill points?
If Xiyue were to possess several million skill points, she would likely opt for the acquisition of two new Forbidden Curses.
With the aid of Inner Court's comprehension, Xiyue, given her exceptional talent, could potentially elevate Immortal by two levels within a decade.
However, accumulating millions of skill points within that same ten-year span stretched beyond her conceivable reach.
Immortal lv4: Upon receiving fatal damage, resurrect in a complete state with a two-day cooldown; upon defeat, your soul perseveres in an invincible state for 5 minutes. During this period, you may exert strength exceeding your normal limits and gain a teleportation opportunity upon the skill's conclusion.
Incredible! Absolutely magnificent!
This latest skill enhancement, while only reducing the resurrection cooldown, did not extend the soul state's invincibility duration. However, the concluding phrases significantly amplified the skill's overall worth.
