Chapter 182: New Change (II)
“We have no objections.”
The people from the dozen or so factions at the edge of the valley replied in unison.
These people were all big shots in the outside world, but at this moment, they were like docile sheep and had no intention of making an objection.
“Let’s disperse then, and go on our own ways,” Chen Yiming glanced at them and said calmly.
He walked into the valley step by step, not caring if these factions would attack him while he was fighting the willow tree forest.
If there was someone who did not know what was good for him, the huge sword would be waiting for him.
Even if all of them attacked together, it would only take one strike to get rid of them.
“Yes!”
The big shots from the various factions had no choice but to agree.
They did not dare to stay any longer and went off in different directions.
…
Just as the various factions gathered in groups of two or three and headed into the rainforest,
a 100-meter-long sword appeared from within the valley, allowing everyone to clearly see that someone was fighting in the willow tree forest.
Immediately after, “Rumble…” The continuous sounds of collisions were accompanied by a series of tremors that shook the ground. The entire Mist Island could clearly feel the vibrations and it felt as though that end of the world had arrived.
Such power clearly belonged to one who had reached the third stage of the warrior realm. If not for the fact that the entire island was held in place by all the mutant plants, especially the willow tree king in the middle of the island,
the valley would not be able withstand even these few blows from Chen Yiming. It would have been shattered into pieces and separated from the rest of the island.
“This is obviously against the rules. Why aren’t the higher-ups stopping him?”
“That’s right. It’s really strange that there’s still no movement in the middle of the island.”
The many factions that had been chased away by Chen Yiming started to discuss in low voices.
The main topic of discussion was that the masked man was breaking the rules and bullying them, who were only at the second stage of the warrior realm and were much weaker than him.
Judging from the commotion coming from the valley, it was a good thing that no one had gone up against him. Otherwise, even if they attacked together, they would be defeated by him with just one move. They would only have been sending themselves to their deaths for no reason.
However, about 10 minutes later, even though the valley had regained its peace, no one had appeared to uphold for them as they had hoped.
This way, the entire valley was monopolized by just one person on this trip to Mist Island.
In the valley, what could be seen was a scene of devastation. All was still.
The air was filled with a murderous aura. Each of the willow trees had been cut in half by an overwhelming force. Countless willow branches had lost their previous liveliness and fell weakly to the ground.
Mutant plants were different from mutant beasts. Their huge roots were their foundation. As long as the roots were not completely destroyed, it would not take long for the mutant plants to grow new branches.
These willow trees which had their cores taken away would grow a new core after three years. Therefore, every three years, many big shots would descend on Mist Island.
In the middle of the valley,
Chen Yiming was soaking in the spiritual spring. All the willow tree cores he had collected were placed beside the spring.
He closed his eyes and carefully experienced the effects of the spiritual spring.
Within his body, a terrifying power seemed to have awakened from its sleep and was greedily absorbing the energy from the spiritual spring.
At the same time, a cyclone gradually spread out with Chen Yiming at its center.
This was not all. An invisible suction force appeared out of thin air from under the valley.
The willow tree roots that were buried deep in the soil were trembling non-stop. They had intended to break through the soil and fight to the death, but a sense of powerlessness suddenly descended upon them. In the end, they could only let their energy essence continue to flow out.
At the same time, in the spiritual world, the figure in his mind automatically formed the concept diagram of the meteorite and filled the entire spiritual space.
Countless new lines gradually appeared on the concept diagram, making it more realistic.
Chen Yiming watched quietly as the figure in his mind improvised. He witnessed the same type of concept diagrams of the meteorite were automatically being deduced.
“From the looks of it, I can make use of this opportunity to complete the full set of concept diagrams of the meteorite,” Chen Yiming said calmly.
The willow tree cores and the spiritual spring were both condensed from the essence of water and earth in the willow tree forest over the years.
The essence of water and earth was equivalent to a fragment of the water and earth attribute concept diagram. As long as one was talented enough, they would naturally be able to infer the missing parts of the concept diagram.
This was equivalent to a thick encyclopedia. With different levels of intelligence, the amount of knowledge one could gain from reading the encyclopedia was worlds apart.
As he inferred the concept diagrams of the meteorite, Chen Yiming felt as if his soul had received a blessing.
Many of the problems that had appeared during the fusion of the strength-based internal force and the black fog internal force were suddenly resolved as the concept diagrams of the meteorite gradually became complete.
It was as if this was just how it should be. Chen Yiming didn’t need to think much about it.
“I have taken another big step forward in my exploration of internal force fusion,” Chen Yiming said excitedly.
Previously, he had used the complete information on the concept diagram of the black fog and the incomplete information on the meteorite concept diagram to study the fusion of the two internal forces.
This indirectly increased the difficulty of the research.
Even with his Level-2 swordsmanship talent, he could only develop a simple combination of two types of internal force. He was still far from being able to fuse two types of internal force together.
In the outside world, Chen Yiming suddenly opened his eyes.
The figure in his mind was in charge of completing the concept diagrams of the meteorite. He only needed to wait for the results.
“Eh?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise.
As far as the eye could see, an aura of decline had filled the valley.
The willow trees, which were already severely injured, seemed as though they would die completely in the next moment, with only their last breath left.
His gaze then fell on the large pile of willow tree cores beside the spiritual spring.
At this moment, the glowing willow tree cores were clearly weakening. It was obvious that the essence of water and earth energy in them was being absorbed by Chen Yiming along with the essence from the spiritual spring.
Suddenly, the martial arts talent panel appeared in front of him.
Chen Yiming
Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 2; Undying Body — Level 1
Level: Second stage of the warrior realm
Physique: Basic Undying Sword Body
Skill Points: 100
“I’m still 200 Skill Points away from 300. I’m still about two months away from increasing my talent level. Why would it appear now?” Chen Yiming was puzzled.
As soon as this thought appeared, the martial arts talent panel changed again.
The box of the Undying Body talent was outlined by a golden light, which immediately attracted Chen Yiming’s attention.
When Chen Yiming focused his attention on it, a notification appeared in the lower right corner. “Upgrading to the Level-2 Undying Body talent requires 271 Skill Points.”
“Why did the requirement suddenly decrease by 29 Skill Points?”
As soon as this thought appeared, the number 271 changed to 270.
“Gasp!” Chen Yiming sucked in a breath of air.
Ever since he obtained the martial arts talent system, the Skill Points needed for upgrading to the next level of each talent were fixed. This situation had never happened before.
Fortunately, Chen Yiming had an almost-terrifying ability to understand the situation.
With his various methods of slowly accumulating Skill Points and his daily cultivation experience, he roughly understood the reason for the decrease in the Skill Point requirement.
Chen Yiming had been cultivating day after day to obtain Skill Points. The number of Skill Points he had was just a gauge for his progress in accumulating Skill Points.
In essence, he had transformed the results of his daily cultivation into Skill Points that could be used to upgrade his talent level.
And now, he was performing some unknown sort of energy transformation while he was cultivating in the spiritual spring. However, after the absorbed energy essence was transformed, it only enhanced his Undying Body talent.
“So relying only on daily cultivation is only equivalent to the beginner mode.” Chen Yiming let out a long breath.
The decrease in Skill Points required for upgrading the Undying Body talent allowed him to understand the core of the system.
As his talent level continued to increase, the Skill Points he could obtain from his daily cultivation would gradually become insufficient.
If he wanted to speed up the process of upgrading his talent, he had to exit the beginner mode and look beyond the safe but slow method of obtaining Skill Points.
Otherwise, it was very likely that one day, his lifespan would reach its limit before his talent was able to reach the requirement to break through to the next level.
In the end, he could only die while clinging on to the system.
With the system, as long as he had enough resources, Chen Yiming’s talent could increase indefinitely.
Therefore, Chen Yiming shouldn’t be pursuing things like combat strength, treasures, cultivation techniques, and so on.
His ultimate goal was to live forever.
It had to be known that the main characters in his previous world’s fantasy novels had all successfully achieved their goal of eternal life.
Chen Yiming was also someone who had transmigrated and had the help of the system, so he couldn’t fall behind.
