I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 114
Chapter 114: Yue Clan (II)
“I see.” Chen Yiming nodded.
Yue Jingtian was not only talented in martial arts, but also a bloodline warrior.
It was said that his bloodline ability was extremely compatible with the Yue clan’s Mountain Moving Fist Technique. At the level of a warrior candidate, he already had combat strength close to the level of those in the warrior realm.
Chen Yiming himself was in the true warrior realm. Although he had his doubts about Yue Jingtian having combat power close to the warrior realm, this information was most likely exaggerated because it was difficult for Yue Jingtian to find an opponent at the same level.
However, it was understandable that Yue Jingtian would make such a choice. Most people were selfish. If he could successfully break through to the warrior realm, it would be a qualitative change for him.
“However, Yue Jingtian is only a warrior candidate. Even if he made a mistake, there’s no need to settle the score with the entire Yue clan, right? Is there something else going on?” Chen Yiming asked.
“I don’t know about that.” Shi Changyi shook his head.
Chen Yiming pondered for a moment before making arrangements. “Shi Changyi, bring me to the vicinity of the Yue clan to observe the situation. Wei Chaoyuan, tell Shi Changyi what I told you when he returns.”
Chen Yiming and Shi Changyi stood up and left for the Yue clan.
…
After leaving the city center, they walked along the main road leading to the east of the city for five to six kilometers. At an intersection, they turned left and headed north for another two to three kilometers.
At the end of the road was a row of villas and manors that spanned more than a kilometer. This was the Yue clan’s residence.
At this moment, there were several trucks parked at the entrance, and all kinds of furniture were piled up haphazardly. Dozens of young men were moving the furniture into the trucks.
In a sealed room in the villa, Yue Yangpeng had a serious expression on his face. He placed his hands behind his back and quietly studied the map on the wall.
This person was nearly three meters tall. He was wearing a custom-made loose robe, but it still could not hide his strong body. From his size, one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
Behind him stood a beautiful woman. She was Yue Yangpeng’s wife, Mo Yanfei. She came from a martial arts clan in another city.
She was about 1.75 meters tall and was wearing a gorgeous dress.
The long dress reached her ankles, revealing only a small portion of her fair skin. However, one could still vaguely make out her perfect figure. She was tall, but her body was curvy at all the right places.
Other than the couple, there was also a young man in the room. He was Yue Yangpeng and Mo Yanfei’s son, Yue Jingtian.
He was nearly 2.5 meters tall, and his face was red as he paced back and forth in the room.
Yue Jingtian finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and said angrily, “Dad, the Yue clan has suffered countless casualties for the sake of East Lake City. Just because of this matter, they want to settle the score with the entire Yue clan? I refuse to accept this.”
Yue Yangpeng frowned, but he maintained his posture of studying the map.
At this moment, Mo Yanfei also said, “Yangpeng, is there no room for negotiation? Our son will soon break through to the warrior realm.”
Yue Jingtian was a warrior candidate and the Yue clan had made countless contributions in the past. Both Yue Jingtian and Mo Yanfei thought that the military should have given him some leeway.
Yue Yangpeng let out a long sigh and turned to look at Yue Jingtian. He said in a low voice, “Your performance in the past year has attracted too much attention. You can almost be considered the top among the younger generation of reserve warriors in East Lake City. When East Lake City was under attack, your actions brought about an extremely bad turn of events.”
When Yue Jingtian heard this, his expression froze, and he explained, “I’m confident that I can break through to the warrior realm within a year. One warrior is more useful to East Lake City than a hundred warrior candidates.
At most, I’ll make a promise to protect East Lake City unconditionally for 10 years. Won’t that do? Must they be so merciless as to wipe us out?”
At this point, his expression was fierce, and the veins on his body were bulging. He was about to lose his mind.
Mo Yanfei, who was standing by the side, took a deep breath when she saw this. Her chest rose and fell as she added, “Yangpeng, how about this? I’ll ask the Mo family to help me contact them and let our son join the military and help them out unconditionally for 10 years.”
In response to his wife’s question, Yue Yangpeng sighed again. “Our son is still a warrior candidate. How long will it take for him to break through is ultimately just empty talk. In the eyes of a true warrior, it doesn’t count for anything.”
Yue Jingtian was his biological son, so Yue Yangpeng naturally acknowledged his talent.
However, history had proven that even if one was already at the brink of breaking through to the warrior realm, there were still countless cases of eventual failure.
After all, only he knew his own progress in drawing the concept diagram. No one else could not crack open his brain to verify it.
Yue Jingtian wanted to continue arguing when he heard this, but Yue Yangpeng stopped him. He closed his eyes and continued, “The military’s true goal is very simple. It’s to make an example out of us to scare the civilian martial arts factions in East Lake City.”
Yue Jingtian’s biggest mistake was that he had attracted too much attention, and he had left a bad impression by backing out at the last minute.
If the military did not punish him severely, others may think that they could also follow in Yue Jingtian’s footsteps the next time they encountered a disaster.
“Dad, not only am I confident that I can break through to the warrior realm, but I’m also a bloodline warrior. I have a bright future ahead of me. Is there really nothing we can do? I really don’t want to die.” Yue Jingtian choked on his words as he spoke.
He, who had never cried before, finally could not withstand the fear of death and cried out.
After all, the military had an absolute advantage in terms of martial arts strength. If they really wanted to settle the score with any of the civilian martial arts factions, none of them would be able to withstand it.
As a mere warrior candidate, he did not even dare to imagine that he would be able to escape from a huge organization like the military.
The beautiful woman, Mo Yanfei, also had tears streaming down her face. She cried, “Our son is a bloodline warrior. In the future, he will have the potential to reach the second stage of the warrior realm. Could it be that even if the entire Yue clan follows their orders unconditionally, they will still take our son’s life?”
As a mother, Mo Yanfei was easily emotional when it came to her son. She only saw a small advantage that came with being a bloodline warrior, but ignored the countless difficulties that might arise from it.
“Be rational. That’s only a possibility that’s far away.” Yue Yangpeng shook his head. “Even if it’s true, how could the military raise a snake in their own bosom, let alone let our son off?”
When Mo Yanfei heard this, she broke down completely and fell to her knees.
Yue Yangpeng’s words were indisputable. No matter how they looked at it, they could not find a way to refute him.
It was almost certain that the Yue clan had no way out. They would either die if they surrendered or be suppressed if they resisted.
No matter what they chose, they would be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and become an example used to intimidate the future generations.
“In the end, the Yue clan just isn’t strong enough,” Yue Yangpeng muttered to himself as he isolated the most fundamental issue.
He glanced at Mo Yanfei, who was on the verge of collapse, and then at Yue Jingtian, whose face was ashen.
“Let me think of something else,” Yue Yangpeng said and turned to face the map on the wall.
The only way out was to escape from East Lake City under the siege of the military.
The possibility of this was extremely low. It could be said to be almost impossible, but there was no other way. He could only choose this path of certain death.
