I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 834: Chapter 834: Perversion After Suppression

A powerful aura enveloped the silhouette of a middle-aged man, who appeared instantly.

Through the analysis of the [Eye of All-Seeing], upon seeing him for the first time, Lin Yi immediately discerned the man’s identity—Eric, the strongest on Depp Star.

“Even if these ten have done something wrong, you can speak directly with me. There are departments on the Radiant Continent that can adjudicate their crimes.

How do you intend to account for your actions to me, to their families, and to all the residents of the Radiant Continent?!”

From Eric’s attitude towards Rhodes, it was apparent that Eric had no knowledge of the existence of ‘Hidden’ or the Dark Rising. He even considered Rhodes his most trusted companion.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of action, arriving at one’s doorstep and starting a fight without a word, is akin to rebellion.

Yet Eric couldn’t see it, indeed a bit excessive.

Hah.

Rhodes snorted coldly.

With an extremely contemptuous and disdainful attitude, he replied to Eric’s words.

“Account? Account for what? You, fool, I told you you’re being foolish, but you wouldn’t believe me. I’m rebelling, can’t you see?”

Eric’s pupils widened instantly, as if he had heard an impossible answer.

“Don’t bother me with your nonsense. Today, let’s settle this behind closed doors; just the two of us fighting, without involving others, deciding both superiority and life or death.”

The Radiant Continent has surveillance equipment.

Upon hearing Rhodes say something about rebelling, fifty members of the enforcement team immediately emerged.

They were equally unaware of the reason for Rhodes’s drastic change, but since he spoke of rebellion, the enforcers decided there was no need to indulge him. They moved directly, surrounding Rhodes and Lin Yi in less than two seconds.

“This Radiant Continent, we fought for it and established it together with our time and effort. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can directly state it; no need to escalate it to such a level. Moreover, you know that in terms of understanding of the Law, you are not my match.”

Eric waved his hand, signaling the enforcers behind him not to act rashly.

As the leader of the Radiant Continent, he naturally did not want any meaningless casualties among his men.

Lin Yi observed the scene and felt a sense of déjà vu.

How similar the relationship between Rhodes and Eric seemed to that between the puppet master and the mecha fox operator.

Patient questioning, met with mockery in return.

“Are you dim-witted, can’t understand words? I’m going to kill you today, understand!”

Without waiting for Eric to respond, a weapon resembling a chainsaw suddenly appeared in Rhodes’s hand.

Visible Power of the Primordial enveloped it, coating the weapon in an unbreakable shell.

Although the weapon was not a divine artifact, the moment it was wielded, it could still achieve earth-shattering effects.

The sky over the Radiant Continent, originally serene and clear.

As Rhodes’s weapon slashed, the sky rapidly became overcast.

The frenzy and imposing Power of the Primordial tore apart the clouds, drawing forth thick bolts of lightning, like stone pillars, crashing down towards Eric.

Of course, what descended upon Eric’s head first was Rhodes’s weapon.

“What’s wrong with you?!”

As someone of similar rank, even possessing greater combat prowess, Eric effortlessly raised his hand, deflecting Rhodes’s attack.

From Eric’s casual deflection, it was clear there was a considerable gap in abilities between them.

This effortless manner from Eric utterly infuriated Rhodes.

He hated Eric’s aloof demeanor the most.

Though both possessed the Power of the Primordial, every time they battled, Rhodes would invariably fall short, and regardless of his efforts, he would narrowly lose to Eric in the end.

Over time, Rhodes began to become increasingly unhinged; although outwardly he showed no disdain for Eric, inside he loathed him to the core.

This hatred drove Rhodes to willingly become a pawn of the Dark Star.

On this resource-deficient planet, he had tried every method without finding a way to surpass Eric.

Dark Rising Association became his only hope.

Over the last decade, he acted harmless, simply to assist his Dark Rising subordinates in any way possible, aiding them in collecting Source Power to seek strength surpassing Eric.

Now, although he had not found power to surpass Eric, he had welcomed divine beings from the Upper Plane.

With divine assistance, he could still annihilate Eric!

Staring into Eric’s eyes of disappointment, Rhodes’s fury reached its peak.

“What’s with that gaze, looking down on me or pitying me, Eric! From today onwards, Depp Star will either belong to you, Eric, or to me, Rhodes!”

“You, go die!”

After a loud roar, Rhodes fully unleashed the Power of the Primordial within him, swiftly entering battle mode.

With Lin Yi, an Upper-Rank God, present, he had no reason to worry.

After witnessing Lin Yi’s strength firsthand, Rhodes had confidence.

With that confidence, his fighting style became much wilder, manipulating the Power of the Primordial to channel thunder into himself, barely considering how much Power of Thunder his body could withstand, striving to unlock the full potential of his cellular vitality.

Blue lightning etched lightning symbols across his skin.

Now, each of his punches unleashed a thunderous field, striking with them.

Dense lightning actively enveloped Eric, restricting his movements.

“Thunder Punishment!”

Rhodes swiftly accelerated, throwing a punch that slammed into Eric’s chest.

The Power of Thunder encircling his body surged into Eric.

Caught off guard, Eric’s mobility was temporarily restricted after enduring the attack.

Strangely, after gaining the upper hand, Rhodes did not proceed with his attack.

Instead, he used a flying skill to distance himself from Eric.

This left Xiyue bewildered.

“What is Rhodes doing? Does he see us as his henchmen, not taking advantage of such a good chance? What is he waiting for?”

This is where the benefits of the [Eye of All-Seeing] and [Eyes of Golden Flame] fully manifest.

The [Eye of All-Seeing], capable of detecting Source Power trails, clearly saw the Thunder Punishment mark on Eric’s heart.

At this moment, Rhodes’s decision to distance himself from Eric was not a matter of conserving energy but was an act of desperation.

Because the impending attack was so lethal that even an experienced Caster like him dared not be caught in its blast!
