I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points-Chapter 423 - Unexpected Provocation

The Flying Cloud Square was located in the center of Flying Cloud City, and was more than 10 kilometers wide. Not only were there many offices of human factions around it, but there were also many offices set up by alien factions.

It was precisely because it was where the different species met that as time passed, it became the most prosperous part of Flying Cloud City.

At the same time, it was also the venue for the human winged elves to perform.

Not long after, Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai arrived at the Flying Cloud Square. Along the way, they were secretly watched more than once or twice.

Chen Yiming glanced around and said with a smile, “Gao Shuai, the excuse that it works only one time out of ten doesn’t seem to have worked out completely. Perhaps it’s not the critical moment yet. Otherwise, you would have been captured long ago.”

Gao Shuai looked around and smiled bitterly.

This excuse was indeed full of loopholes, but as long as he did not admit it, no one could verify it.

However, it was precisely because he was worried about the possibility of being captured that he risked his life to seek an ally like Chen Yiming. It had to be known that someone who had reached the level of a god and was a true genius was very dangerous.

Prophecy users were often not good at fighting. Facing a true genius, with their weak combat strength, it was very easy for them to not be able to withstand the backlash.

Chen Yiming nodded and used the power of the world in his body to set up a barrier.

“No wonder you used the excuse of befriending experts as soon as you appeared. The price of the dragon blood mutant beasts is rising steadily. How long can order be maintained in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy?”

“With the temptation of the true dragon’s corpse internally and the invasion of the black tide externally, even the true ruler, the territorial lord, doesn’t appear to preside over the overall situation. If things get chaotic, will the star spirits escape from the Hidden Dragon Galaxy?”

“…”

Gao Shuai frowned and looked at Chen Yiming as if he was crazy. He was stunned when he heard about the star spirits.

Chen Yiming’s words definitely weren’t a joke. He was referring to star spirits on the things they had.

On the star spirits, the most valuable thing was the essence energy they had accumulated.

Essence energy was a hard currency. The currency of the various large galaxies, such as the hidden dragon coin, had a fixed amount of essence energy sealed inside. This was why the hidden dragon coin had a true monetary value.

At the same time, it was precisely because of this that one needed sufficient strength and influence to get their hands on the essence energy. Otherwise, they fall into the hands of evil people.

Chen Yiming looked away and didn’t say anything else.

To others, the value of the black card might be immeasurable, but its weight in his heart was actually limited. It was far inferior to Gao Shuai’s prophecy-type ability.

In other words, by using this special ability, he could obtain more essence energy to increase his talent level when the Hidden Dragon Galaxy fell into chaos.

This was also to make it clear to Gao Shuai that he would definitely expose his enemies who were involved with the black tide one day. However, there was still a higher priority at the moment.

…

On the open-air observation platform in the Flying Cloud Square, Qin Hongyue had a vexed expression on her face, and she did not look happy at all.

The Qin clan was a huge human faction in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. On the surface, they controlled more than 10 living worlds, and they secretly had a large number of bases in other galaxies. They were a faction with an influence that exceeded that of a galaxy.

She came from a noble background and had a peerless appearance, and had a starting point that countless living beings could only dream of. Her talent and ability were also one in a million. She had already taken on a portion of the clan’s core matters not long after she became an adult.

However, it was precisely because of this that she had countless worries.

“Lanlan, do you think what Gao Shuai saw in his prophecy is true? Could it be that he deliberately exaggerated things to protect himself?”

“You have to know that over the years, there have been more than one or two people who have been tricked because of his prophecies. Even if there are no special abilities like prophecy, this 10% success rate should still be achievable,”

Qin Hongyue complained to her friend beside her.

At this moment, with her natural beauty and her status as a member of the Qin clan, she looked very attractive even with a frown on her face.

This was the truth. Many gazes were focused on her. It was unknown if they were looking at her slender and fair legs or if they were interested in the Qin clan’s background.

“The Qin clan should have given you the most freedom they could. They only arranged for you to keep an eye on Gao Shuai. I heard that there are even alien species planning to marry into the Gao clan.”

“You have to know that even if a prophecy-type ability only comes true once in a while, it is still more valuable than a genius who can fight someone of a higher level in the star condensation realm.”

“A genius at the star condensation realm who can fight someone of a higher level is already a seedling for the next generation of power in the Qin, Gao, and Jiang clans of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy,” Jiang Lan said calmly.

She was from the Jiang clan, and her appearance was not inferior to Qin Hongyue’s. Furthermore, just like the Qin clan where Qin Hongyue was from, she was also from a huge faction of humans in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.

However, the focus of the two clans was different. The Jiang clan paid more attention to cultivation and paid a huge price to send some young people with potential out of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.

They were not sent to a galaxy of the same level, but to a place with a higher level of cultivation.

The only difference between Jiang Lan, who had not been sent out, and Qin Hongyue was that her cultivation talent was one level lower. Of course, it was precisely because she could not reach the level of a true genius that the attention she received was worlds apart.

For example, at least 80% of the gazes were directed at Qin Hongyue, and the remaining 20% were focused on a young man from an alien species.

The young man from the alien species who was sitting with Qin Hongyue and Jiang Lan had a pair of wings and a sharp gaze. He was a true genius from the Roc Clan.

It was clear that the difference in talent was sometimes greater than expected. They were often only one level weaker than each other, but their status, resources, connections, and so on could not be compared.

Qin Hongyue took a sip of the sparkling water and said with a smile, “Isn’t that because Gao Shuai’s special ability is too unreliable? I remember that a few years ago, the Xie clan was killed by his words. In just a few years, they declined greatly.”

“If not for that, even as the princess of the Qin clan, I would probably have to use my status to try to marry into the Gao clan. How could I still sit here leisurely?”

When Jiang Lan heard this, her gaze did not change at all, and her expression remained cold.

Similar to Qin Hongyue, she was the person from the Jiang clan that was in charge of watching Gao Shuai.

At the same time, because Gao Shuai had run to this relatively remote Flying Cloud Planet, she was forced to follow him. She was quite unhappy with Gao Shuai and felt that he had delayed her personal cultivation.

Yin Jueying, a young genius of the Roc clan, did not participate in the conversation between the two women.

He thought about the information he had just received: Gao Shuai had befriended an unknown person and even vouched for him.

It had to be known that this guarantee was built on the Gao clan’s reputation. Once something happened, no matter what the outcome was, it would not only be Gao Shuai’s responsibility, but it would also affect the Gao clan’s reputation in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

From this, it could be seen how much Gao Shuai valued his new partner. It was unknown if this importance was real or fake, or if he had another motive. It was possible that he was trying to trick his new partner.

His prophecy-type ability was 10% accurate, making it difficult for others to believe in it.

At the same time, many people from the humans to foreign species had also gathered at the Flying Cloud Square. The square looked no different from usual, and it was still as lively as always.

However, in reality, there was a huge difference. Many people were no longer looking at the winged elf humans, but at Gao Shuai’s latest move.

…

Time passed quickly.

When Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai stepped into the square, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. These gazes were no longer hidden, but openly sizing them up.

A few months ago, Gao Shuai had also made an ally who was quite famous. However, the outcome was not good. After continuous provocation, this ally could not take it anymore and chose to cut ties with Gao Shuai.

“Many of the humans and alien species here look very young. Their cultivation levels are all at least at the star condensation realm. This is seriously abnormal.”

Chen Yiming retracted his gaze and glanced at the fat man beside him.

He had wanted to keep a low profile, but it seemed that with such a person, he would probably not be able to keep his peace.

Gao Shuai apologized and explained in a low voice, “Didn’t someone find traces of the true dragon in the otherworld in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy?”

“At that time, I was just saying it casually. For some reason, the news spread, indirectly adding to the interest of the true dragon’s corpse.”

He did not deliberately not let anyone hear him, and he said it directly.

However, the traces of the true dragon had already been confirmed. It was not useful for Gao Shuai to clarify things now. Furthermore, this was not the first time he had said this.

The reason why they were being watched was because they were waiting for the chance that Gao Shuai had really discovered some extraordinary clues. Many human and alien factions yearned for the true dragon’s corpse.

If they could use this opportunity to nurture the physique of a true dragon, although it could not be compared to the physique of a true dragon when it was alive, it was enough to allow the factions related to it to improve by a level or even several levels after it grew up.

This was the importance of potential. The true dragon physique represented a foundation that was not something that the physiques of the various species born naturally in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy could compare to.

Soon, Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai walked to an open-air observation platform that they had booked in advance and sat down.

Originally, someone should have come out to preside over the performance of the winged elf humans. However, for some reason, there was no movement today, and no staff member came out to explain the situation.

Seeing this, Gao Shuai was extremely frustrated.

It seemed that someone had used their influence to delay the performance. However, the person who had wanted to test the waters had acted too quickly and openly this time, not giving him any face at all.

It had to be known that in order to escape the title of “Fat Man Gao”, Gao Shuai had once self-proclaimed himself as a “prophet” after his prophecies succeeded a few times.

However, the title of “prophet” had never been recognized. It was because he had failed too many times. It could be considered Gao Shuai’s wishful thinking.

Then, a few seconds after he sat down, a few young men and women passed by and stopped. One of the white-robed youths smiled and said,

“Fat Man Gao, the person you befriended last time seems to be calling himself the ‘Heavenly Fist’. Is he referring to the fact that no one can restrain him?”

“Why did he hide away after being challenged a few times?”

“This is your new friend. Is your prophecy accurate this time? Don’t harm others. It’ll be troublesome if his foundation is damaged!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the young men beside him had smiles on their faces, and the young women covered their mouths and chuckled from time to time.

If Fat Man Gao had befriended an old man, perhaps those who had the intention to test the waters would still observe the situation. However, the person he had befriended was even younger than the previous person.

Although being young meant having a lot of potential, it also meant that he did not have enough time to cultivate and unleash his potential.

Furthermore, in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, no matter if it was the humans or the alien species, there was no one who was on Gao Shuai’s side.

It was possible that there were some from other galaxies, but it was unlikely. Many people were watching him.

It was similar to the last person Gao Shuai had met. After that person hid away and announced that he had cut ties with him, no one else dared to hang out with Gao Shuai.

They were all worried that they would not be able to withstand the pressure. The pressure was related to the true dragon’s corpse.

Seeing this, Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged and he didn’t reply.

Wouldn’t damaging one’s foundation mean that one couldn’t withstand the continuous provocation and their confidence would be greatly affected, causing them to suffer irreparable injuries?

Among the young men and women in front of him, other than the white-robe youth who was at the star condensation realm, the rest were only at the fusion realm.

To him, they were all small fries. Was he going to argue with a group of people who did not have much strength to fight back? Did they really think that with the protection of Flying Cloud City, he would not dare to kill them with a single move?

Seeing this, Gao Shuai glared at them angrily.

Good lord! They were trying to sow discord right from the start, and even brought up the matter of a friend he had tried to make.

Although most of the prophecies were not accurate, it was true this time. He was afraid that if someone died later, it would not be easy to clean up the mess in Flying Cloud City.

It might even escalate to a conflict between the factions backing them.

The white-robed youth wasn’t too happy to see that Chen Yiming remained silent.

In his heart, he was trying to give him a word of advice, and letting him know what type of person Fat Man Gao was. He was someone who had a lot to do with the traces of the true dragon. If he was implicated, his corpse might not even be found.

After all, although one could pass through a certain coordinate in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy to reach the otherworld, the dangers of passing through the spatial distortion was completely uncontrollable.

The star condensation realm was the weakest existence among the gods. In the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, it was still someone important. In the spatial distortion, it was just like a large grasshopper. An accident could happen at any time.

Furthermore, the otherworld they had discovered was not the otherworld that the true dragon’s corpse had really come from. It just contained the traces left behind by the true dragon.

Who knew how much they would have to pay in the end?

“Hey, young man, do you know what the sword symbol on my chest represents? If you cut ties with Fat Man Gao, we won’t make things difficult for you. After all, those who don’t know anything are innocent.”

“Otherwise, have you thought it through? If you’re really the person in his accurate prophecies, these people won’t just be watching you.”

The white-robed youth’s words were already a clear threat and warning.

To put it bluntly, Chen Yiming had come from some unknown place. He spoke to him like he was an inferior.

Under normal circumstances, this was indeed the case. The further one walked on the path of cultivation, the higher the requirements, such as cultivation techniques, environment, experience, talent, and so on.

How could someone from an ordinary planet compare to the younger generation of the large factions in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy? They might even be easily defeated by someone of the same level.

Gao Shuai’s eyes gradually turned cold.

The provocation was understandable and acceptable, but towards the end, the white-robed youth was no longer just testing the waters. It was a serious threat.

In the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, the Gao clan was the top faction below the territorial lord. As the representative of the Gao clan’s younger generation, he had never been looked down on and humiliated like this.

Chen Yiming narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming dangerous. This person who had spoken arrogantly to him probably didn’t know what kind of people had died under his fist.
