I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 671: Confirming the Hypothesis—Seemingly Opposite yet Homologous Powers

The path to upgrading holds no shortcuts.

Things that do not belong to the current level are utterly meaningless if taken.

After a few days of exploration, Lin Yi did not find any way; getting what he wanted in hand and completing the task early to leave isn’t a bad decision.

The date of the Yunzhou Grand Competition is approaching.

The grand gathering held once every five years is a great day for the eight mansions of Yunzhou to make an appearance. For this, all major forces in Yunzhou invited notable figures from the other three continents to participate, aiming to showcase their own splendor at this event.

Among them, the elite disciples of each sect are held in high regard. As long as they display the expected brilliance at this grand event, it will pave the way for future promotions.

The operation resembles in no small part some privileged second-generation rich kids on Blue Star, who have their paths paved for them.

But today, these highly anticipated ”dragons and phoenixes among men” have truly hit a snag.

”No, which sect’s line does that kid walk? So bizarre. Even back in Dubhe Pavilion, no one had such methods.”

”Isn’t that the case? Even my senior brother, Qu De, couldn’t even unleash a move before all his bones were crushed. Could this kid be a demon?”

”Impossible! If he were a demon, he would have been detected as soon as he got up on the stage.”

”So, facing that kid from Dubhe Pavilion, you have to use defensive techniques right at the start?”

”Hmm, that’s probably the case.”

The instant gravity crush that slammed a guy who only mastered ordinary laws, equivalent to an ordinary human War God level, was quite effective.

The highly anticipated disciples of the Eight Mansions have already had two senior brothers encounter Lin Yi in the elimination rounds, only to be instantly defeated by him. For a time, the disciples of the Eight Mansions were in a state of fear.

Being knocked unconscious without understanding how the opponent made a move, such a terrifying opponent, who wouldn’t be afraid?

Previously, Lin Yi and his team thwarted the plans of Celestial Bright Mansion; the Eight Mansions, considering Ao Hun’s formidable strength and the potentially vast power behind Lin Yi, did not immediately tear apart with Lin Yi.

They had plans in place, intending to have the proud disciples of the Eight Mansions crush Lin Yi’s team with absolute strength during the elimination rounds, thus eliminating them.

What they didn’t expect was that Lin Yi’s power would be overwhelmingly strong.

Even the sect leaders of the Eight Mansions couldn’t see any hints.

The most out-of-control situation was that not only was Lin Yi’s strength formidable, but even the two female companions behind him were astonishingly strong. Their moves were unheard of and unprecedented, with shockingly exaggerated effects.

Basically, if they hit, the prized disciples of the Eight Mansions would be utterly overwhelmed.

This selection round, full of insider dealings, did not help remove the threat of Lin Yi’s team advancing to the top ten, but instead pushed the Eight Mansions into an extremely awkward predicament.

On usual occasions, when the Eight Mansions unite, no one in Yunzhou dares to provoke them. They dominate unchallenged, claiming unmatched superiority.

Now, being defeated soundly by disciples cultivated by a sixteen-year-old girl, the Yunzhou Eight Mansions truly became a joke.

To restore lost face and smoothly push forward the plan to completely annihilate Dubhe Pavilion, the sect leaders of the Eight Mansions had to urgently convene a meeting focused on Lin Yi.

A conference concerning the prestige of the Eight Mansions and the future development of their disciples could not afford any mistake.

Under the guise of admiration and friendship, the sect leaders of the Eight Mansions secretly summoned Lin Yi to the hidden chamber at the site of the Grand Competition.

The operations of the Eight Mansions, as the dominant force in Yunzhou, were truly within expectations.

As soon as the eight sect leaders met Lin Yi, they started with excessive flattery.

Immediately afterwards, they began to coerce and lure Lin Yi with various conditions.

The temptations included, naturally, the sect’s proud foundational cultivation techniques.

To be honest, if what the Eight Mansions offered could enhance Lin Yi’s understanding of the Power of Law, he would have seriously considered it.

But cultivation techniques and heart methods, aren’t they all arcane and hard to comprehend?

No, wait!

In an instant, Lin Yi suddenly understood.

This is Xiang Wuxing, not Blue Star!

In this place, though there is Source Power, there are no professionals, much less skill points.

If you want to master a skill, don’t you have to comprehend it?

To master the Dubhe Strange Scripture, perhaps even two years wouldn’t suffice.

”So, kid, isn’t learning the top cultivation techniques of the Eight Mansions a much better choice than being just a disciple under a solitary leader at Dubhe Pavilion? After you learn our techniques, we won’t impose any restrictions on you, you can....”

This secret meeting room was equipped with a powerful barrier.

The purpose was to directly confront and eliminate Lin Yi if he refused to cooperate.

The barrier was set up partially to weaken Lin Yi’s power to a certain extent, and partially to prevent Lin Yi from escaping.

What the leaders of Yunzhou’s Eight Mansions didn’t expect was that before they even finished speaking, Lin Yi suddenly acted.

He grabbed the head of the Dark Morning Mansion’s sect leader, pressing it onto the table, and in an instant, clarity filled the eyes of the unfortunate sect leader.

This sudden turn of events made the remaining seven sect leaders’ anger reach a peak.

In their view, Lin Yi was merely someone who mastered special techniques and had a divine beast by his side as a disciple of a reclusive sect, how could they have imagined that this disciple had the audacity to be so brazen on the territory of the Eight Mansions.

But before they could even use their moves, an extreme chill invaded their bodies, completely freezing their Source Power and flesh, everything but their heads encased in Eternal Ice.

This kid is an ice-type!

His moves are not only powerful but show no sign of an impending strike, utterly terrifying!

The thought of dread just emerged when Lin Yi, through Reincarnation Vision, saw through the intentions of these eight leaders.

Immediately, a chilling laugh resonated, sending a shiver down the Eight Mansions’ leaders’ spines.

”Ha, a barrier?”

Lin Yi lightly tapped the table with his right hand, a visible ripple quietly spreading out.

The next moment, the barrier arranged by the Luoshi Mansion to trap Lin Yi shattered with a roar.

Just as Lin Yi had speculated.

In the Ten Thousand Realms, regardless of the cultural or cultivation differences, everything originates from the same source.

The barrier set by Luoshi Mansion was just a skill they had mastered.

When Lin Yi used the Void Hand to gently press onto the barrier, it nullified instantly, just like the skills mastered by the Blue Star’s professionals.

This move left the Eight Mansions’ sect leaders stunned.

How could they not know the strength of the Luoshi Mansion’s barrier?

Though they appeared united, the infighting behind the scenes was plenty; how could they not understand the strength of Luoshi Mansion’s barrier?

If Lin Yi could dismantle it effortlessly, wouldn’t that make him a monster among monsters?

The eight sect leaders felt an unprecedented fear; if their bodies hadn’t lost sensation from being frozen by Eternal Ice, they might have wet themselves already.
