I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points-Chapter 444 - Birth of a Genius
Chapter 444: Birth of a Genius
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The man from the Purple Pill Sect and the silver-winged woman
were both leaders of the younger generation from huge factions. This was especially true for the man from the Purple Pill Sect. His alchemy skills were not inferior to many of the elders in the sect.
As someone took the lead to question him, the atmosphere changed drastically.
Li Wenfeng had saved the face of the city ruler’s faction by demeaning himself, but the situation was getting out of hand.
When the silver-winged woman revealed his defeat at her hands, the young geniuses present had already lowered Li Wenfeng’s level in their hearts and even kicked him out of their ranks.
After the banquet ended, if news of Li Wenfeng’s defeat spread to the outside world, they would all think that he had fallen from the level of the geniuses of the younger generation and was the type who lacked the ability to continue on the path of cultivation.
Just as the banquet was about to be forced to end, the inner door opened, and a middle-aged man with a head of white hair strode into the banquet hall.
As soon as he appeared, it was as if a galaxy had materialized behind him. All the starlight became embellishments for him. When one looked at him, one could even see the life and death of a living planet in his eyes.
The person who had arrived was Li Zhentian, the city ruler.
“Hello, City Ruler!”
“Hello, City Ruler!”
…
Unlike when they were facing Li Wenfeng, the group of young geniuses greeted Li Zhentian respectfully.
This was the respect that a lower-level person should have for a higher-up. Unless this group of young people at the scene one day grew to the level of the city ruler, they would have to bow down even if they were at a disadvantage.
The reason was that from the silver-winged woman’s tone, Li Wenfeng’s defeat was not a defeat after a tough fight. Instead, he had suffered a decisive defeat. Therefore, Li Wenfeng did not even refute her.
However, in front of the city ruler, Li Zhentian, the difference of two major realms between him and all the geniuses present caused them to be unable to deal with him.
“Father, everyone is here,” Li Wenfeng walked forward and said.
Li Zhentian nodded.
“One, two, three, four…”
Then, the voice of the city ruler resounded throughout the banquet hall.
Everyone stayed quietly where they were. Even the man from the Purple Pill Sect, who had been impatient earlier, remained silent. No one stood out in front of the city ruler.
In reality, the young geniuses representing the various large factions did not even dare to go to the source ore shops to hold them accountable.
Instead, it was the city ruler’s faction that took the initiative to release the news. This group of young geniuses had gathered here to wait for an explanation. Regardless of the outcome, it was fine as long as they reported it to the factions they represented.
“Alright, let’s cut to the chase. I naturally invited all the young geniuses to this banquet for a special reason.”
“My son has recently had an epiphany and wants to verify it with all of you. Therefore, he asked me to put down my pride and build a suitable stage for him.”
Li Zhentian did not mention the explanation for the incidents involving the three source ore shops.
Were they being used as stepping stones?
So the news that was deliberately released was just a lie? f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
Even though before they came, the young geniuses already had a feeling that the outcome might not be good.
However, they did not expect the city ruler to not even bother to give a perfunctory explanation.
Now that they had entered the city ruler’s residence, no one could do anything about it without Li Zhentian around. The situation was completely different now. No one present dared to say no.
This was not because they had lost the arrogance that a genius should have, but because there was a difference of two major realms between them. Even the strongest among them could not overcome this difference.
Furthermore, since something had happened in the source ore shops and the city ruler just pretended that nothing had happened, the young geniuses present did not dare to speak up as though they were more important than the source ore shops.
Li Zhentian swept his gaze across the crowd and took in everyone’s expressions. He smiled and said, “Feng’er, go and call Fei’er over. Don’t let these brothers and sisters wait too long.”
“Understood.”
Li Wenfeng agreed and turned to leave via the inner door.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps gradually approached the banquet hall.
“Bang!”
The inner door was suddenly pushed open, and cracks appeared.
A young man with a well-proportioned figure slowly walked in.
“Eh?”
Everyone’s gazes ignored the reason why this person could not control his strength and focused on the person’s eyes.
His pair of black eyes were very different from normal. Instead, there were many double images, and a terrifying power was brewing in them, as if a world was being born and destroyed.
In addition, traces of blood seeped out of the corners of his eyes. One could tell at a glance that this was because his new power was still unstable.
“Could this be the legendary twin pupil bloodline?”
The hearts of the young geniuses present skipped a beat. It was difficult not to think of the matter of the South Palace Source Ore Workshop and the fact that all the Heavenly Eyes had been taken away.
“This is my son, Li Tengfei. I’m sure no one has heard of him before. Today, please give my son some pointers.”
Li Zhentian introduced him with a smile. He did not hide the pride in his voice.
As soon as he said this, everyone’s expressions changed slightly.
This city ruler really had ill intentions in organizing this banquet. Did he really want all of them to become Li Tengfei’s stepping stone for his cultivation?
However, they had to admit that in the face of the legendary twin pupil bloodline, although they had yet to confirm the completeness of the bloodline, everyone’s confidence was greatly reduced.
This was because the South Palace Sect’s ‘Heavenly Eye’ was said to be an inferior form of the twin pupil bloodline. It was clear how powerful the twin pupil bloodline was.
For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma. They even regretted coming to the banquet.
Among these people, for example, Wen Qi had found an excuse not to attend the banquet. There were also many people who had not attended the banquet for all kinds of reasons.
In the corner of the hall, a female attendant with a wreath on her head finally heaved a sigh of relief after Li Zhentian appeared.
At the same time, Chen Yiming saw the scene inside.
It turned out that when the group of young geniuses appeared in front of the city ruler’s residence one after another in a shocking manner, borrowing the interference from the energy fluctuations, Chen Yiming secretly placed a space anchor on an attendant at the door.
His luck was good. After the city ruler’s banquet started, the female attendant he had chosen appeared in the banquet hall to serve as a waitress.
Furthermore, she had not been called away even until now.
“City Ruler Li is extremely confident. It seems that he has the ability to take on all the responsibility.”
Chen Yiming’s attention was focused on Li Zhentian.
Perhaps it was because of the additional confidence brought about by the twin pupil bloodline, or perhaps it was because the twin pupil bloodline was really an earth-shattering development, but the city ruler no longer hid it.
From the start of the banquet, it was clear that he wanted to use the young geniuses present to let Li Tengfei display the power of the twin pupil bloodline.
The middle-aged man beside him was still talking excitedly.
He even talked about the chaotic private life of the city ruler. It was said that there were 3,000 beauties in his harem, and there were even humans and alien species.
“Could it be that Li Tengfei is the descendant of Li Zhentian and a woman from the South Palace Sect?”
Chen Yiming thought to himself.
If that was the truth, Li Zhentian was too wild.
It had to be known that the South Palace clan were essentially humanoid creatures. They were known as the three-eyed gods, but they were not really human. The lineage of the city ruler was that of pure-blooded humans. This was public information.
The combination of humans and alien species who had cultivated to the level of a god. Under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible for them to have descendants.
Even for a woman from the South Palace Sect, the probability of her being at the same level as a god was close to zero. This was a manifestation of the basic rules of the universe. Otherwise, the galaxy would have been completely ruled by the descendants of the strongest cultivator.
Chen Yiming had personally experienced this. It was only by chance that he and Wu Di had a child.
In the banquet hall, Li Zhentian looked at everyone. “Everyone, who wants to go first?”
His tone did not allow anyone to refuse, and he did not allow anyone to back down.
“I’ll do it.”
Just as everyone was still looking at each other, someone stood up.
It was Li Shuhan from the Yin Yang Transformation Sect. He had an honest appearance and a well-proportioned figure similar to Li Tengfei. Furthermore, they had the same surname.
However, no one would look down on Li Shuhan. The Yin Yang Transformation Sect could cultivate a strange energy that was good at destroying opponents from the inside.
It was obvious that Li Tengfei could not completely control his newly obtained power. No one present was more suitable to fight him than Li Shuhan.
“Shuhan, be careful,” 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢
a good friend reminded him.
The secret history of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy dated back to an era where people with the twin pupil bloodline fought against divine beasts like the True Dragon and the True Phoenix.
In the end, it had naturally disappeared into the river of time. Even the authenticity of the records had yet to be verified.
However, the matter of the true dragon’s corpse had attracted the attention of countless large factions in the surrounding galaxies. It could be seen that even the incomplete version of the twin pupil bloodline was definitely very powerful.
“Don’t worry.”
Li Shuhan nodded and walked to a spot not far from Li Tengfei before stopping.
However, when they looked at each other at close range, he felt the pressure from the twin pupil bloodline. Under those eyes that were filled with double images, he seemed to have been completely seen through.
However, he could not back down at this moment. Even if he would lose, he had to fight. Otherwise, the Yin Yang Transformation Sect would lose face. He would not be able to explain himself when he returned.
“Attack freely. You don’t have to worry about the residence being destroyed.”
At this moment, Li Zhentian suddenly spoke. It was unknown if he was speaking to Li Tengfei or Li Shuhan.
At the same time, the space in the entire banquet hall froze. An indescribably terrifying restraining force turned into a barrier that enveloped the area.
The floor, porcelain, pillars, and so on had all been enhanced by an invisible force. Even those at the star condensation realm could not easily cause damage to them.
This was the difference between them. The difference of two major realms was like a natural chasm. Even if this group of young geniuses was unwilling, they had to follow Li Zhentian’s orders. Otherwise, he could kill everyone present with a single thought.
With a low shout, Li Shuhan moved. He took a step forward and struck out with his palm.
Since the entire banquet hall was surrounded by a barrier, his attack seemed to be completely unrestrained.
It was as if a huge palm had descended, and it was as if a planet could be held in his palm. At the same time, the Yin and Yang energies mixed together, as if they wanted to completely destroy their target.
“Too weak.”
In the face of such an attack, Li Tengfei did not even bat an eyelid. Furthermore, he stood rooted to his spot.
When a world filled with double images appeared behind it, the huge palm seemed to be trapped by layers of space and could not move.
In the next moment, Li Tengfei moved.
As Li Shuhan’s eyes widened in shock, Li Tengfei took a step forward to shorten the distance between them. Then, he struck out against the palm that contained the Yin and Yang energies.
“Bang!”
Li Shuhan spat out a mouthful of blood.
He did not expect Li Tengfei to have mastered a secret spatial technique. This palm strike was countered fully and hit Li Shuhan squarely in the abdomen, creating a hole and hitting the inner world in his body.
Outsiders had no way of knowing the location of the inner world. However, at this moment, under Li Tengfei’s twin pupils, it seemed that its location was not hidden. There was not even time to dodge his attack.
At that moment, a figure was sent flying. He crashed heavily into the barrier maintained by Li Zhentian, then bounced back to the ground.
In everyone’s perception, Li Shuhan’s aura suddenly weakened.
“It can actually aim at the inner world in one’s body.”
At the level of a god, the physical body was only an external manifestation. The inner world was the foundation. In the inner world, the main body’s will was the will of the world.
When the inner world was damaged, it would naturally cause spiritual damage. This attack had taken out most of Li Shuhan’s life force.
And the situation was exactly like that.
“I’ve lost.”
Li Shuhan knew that it was more important to keep his life, so he admitted defeat without hesitation.
At the same time, he tried his best to repair the damage to his inner world. The recovery ability of the Yin and Yang energies was very strong, and it would not be long before he could be brought out of danger.
However, this admission of defeat cast a shadow over the hearts of the many young geniuses present.
Among these people, Li Shuhan had a technique that excelled in both offense and defense. His combat strength was above average, but he was defeated in one move by Li Tengfei.
At this moment, the entire venue was silent.
There was no need for anyone to say anything. It seemed that in a one-on-one fight, Li Tengfei no longer had a suitable opponent among them.
How about two against one, or three against one? They had never fought like this before, but everyone was not too confident. After all, when the difference reached a certain level, numbers were useless.
“This twin pupil bloodline seems to be quite powerful. I wonder if it’s stronger or weaker than the physique formed by my two talents.”
Chen Yiming had used the female attendant’s perspective to witness the battle. If he was the one in the fight, would he also be crushed?
The reason for the outcome was that the previous opponent was too weak. The two of them had to really fight to determine who was stronger. However, coupled with the enhancement from the Space Anchor talent, Chen Yiming was still very confident in himself.
At this moment, the intense energy fluctuations in the city ruler’s residence were inevitably noticed by the outside world even with the seal of the barrier.
It was as if this was exactly what Li Zhentian wanted. He snapped his fingers. A trigger seemed to have been activated and the entire residence sank into the ground, turning the area into a flat ground.
“What!”
“What are they doing?”
The people waiting around the city ruler’s residence were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.
This was especially true for Li Shuhan. The energy fluctuations in his body were extremely chaotic. It was obvious that there was something wrong with his body.
