I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 148
Chapter 148: Blind Date (II)
“We have many more chances to interact in the future,” Chen Yiming replied expressionlessly.
It was good news for him that they would not be in the same inner court. After all, he had too many secrets, and it was easier to get exposed if anyone got too close.
However, if they interacted more, he might be able to secretly learn the Flying Crane Sword Technique.
Then, he would use a similar method to secretly gather all the sword techniques from the 12 inner courts and integrate them into the complete ultimate sword technique of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.
The two of them exchanged words as if they were friends who shared the same interests.
Chen Yiming’s goal was to learn more about the Myriad Phenomena Sect from Wan Ya so that he could prepare for his plan to secretly learn the sword techniques.
Wan Ya’s goal was to figure out Chen Yiming’s thoughts from their conversation and find a suitable reason to reject the arranged marriage.
On the same courtyard path dozens of meters away from the two of them,
Gu Chen had walked out of the main hall, but he did not leave the villa. Instead, he walked along the courtyard path and thought about a way for Wan Ya to smoothly reject the arranged marriage.
He had already learned from Wan Ya that her blind date was also a warrior.
This way, the simplest and most effective method of threatening him would not work, making it much more difficult to reject the arranged marriage.
Suddenly, Gu Chen saw Chen Yiming and Wan Ya walking together along the courtyard path in the distance.
Their bodies were very close, about a fist’s length apart.
In addition, the two of them were chatting and laughing. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they did not notice Gu Chen’s figure dozens of meters away.
His girlfriend was actually smiling brightly at a stranger. This made Gu Chen’s blood boil. He wanted nothing more than to beat Chen Yiming up.
Gu Chen clenched his fists tightly, revealing the well-defined muscles on his arms.
He thought about how both of them had just broken through to the warrior realm. Even though Chen Yiming was more talented, he was clearly much younger than him. What the other party had accumulated at the disciple realm was definitely far less than him.
Based on this, he guessed that Chen Yiming’s current strength was inferior to his.
“I’ll teach you a small lesson first,” Gu Chen muttered to himself with a ferocious expression.
He walked towards the two people who were chatting and laughing.
“The focus of the Flying Crane Sword Technique and the Mantis Snake Sword Technique is different, and…”
When Gu Chen was about 10 meters away, Wan Ya who was turning sideways to face Chen Yiming caught a glimpse of her boyfriend walking towards them.
She was instantly shocked and her voice broke off mid-sentence.
Chen Yiming snapped out of his thoughts and asked, “What’s wrong?”
He completely treated Gu Chen, who was walking towards him, as a passerby. His mind was focused on the sword techniques of the 12 inner courts.
“It’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered that the Myriad Phenomena Sect is divided into 12 inner courts. The sword technique cultivated by each inner court is different.
As for the combination of the 12 sword techniques, that is the complete form of the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s sword technique. I feel a sense of despair that it is so far out of my reach.” Wan Ya instantly calmed down and smiled bitterly.
Chen Yiming nodded and turned his attention back to the 12 sword techniques of the Myriad Sect.
He could understand Wan Ya’s words. This was a sign that her talent could not match up with her progress on the path of martial arts.
Most people in the warrior realm spent their entire lives comprehending one technique and still found it difficult to break through to the second stage of the warrior realm, let alone comprehending 12 techniques.
Under normal circumstances, one needed to comprehend six concept diagrams to break through to the second stage of the warrior realm. For the ultimate sword technique of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, one would need to comprehend 72 concept diagrams to break through to the third stage of the warrior realm.
Chen Yiming didn’t know if being at the level of an internal force master could increase a human’s lifespan, but he knew that it couldn’t be done at the warrior realm.
In other words, the more concept diagrams one needed to comprehend, the more difficult it would be to break through to the third stage of the warrior realm.
He did not know if those in the Myriad Phenomena Sect needed to comprehend all 12 sword techniques before they could break through to the third stage of the warrior realm, or if they would only use a few of them as a foundation to break through.
If it was the former, then the difficulty of breaking through using the cultivation technique of the Myriad Phenomena Sect would undoubtedly far exceed that of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect.
Just as Gu Chen and the two of them were about to pass each other, Gu Chen thought angrily in his heart, “Do you think I’m invisible?”
He also pretended to be thinking about something. At the same time, he secretly gathered strength in his shoulders and moved his body slightly to the side so that their shoulders could touch.
“Bang! Crack!”
First, there was an explosion as the air was compressed, followed by the clear sound of bones breaking.
Gu Chen was sent flying more than 10 meters away and crashed into the courtyard wall. With a loud bang, a track several meters long appeared in the courtyard.
“What’s going on!”
“Report to the captain. We’ll go over together.”
More than 10 soldiers patrolling the villa heard the commotion and quickly rushed to the scene.
A few seconds later, the injured Gu Chen was surrounded by a group of soldiers.
Gu Chen’s head was buzzing. He kept replaying the scene of strength being crushed by Chen Yiming. It looked like he had been seriously injured and was unconscious.
Bone fractures were considered light injuries for warriors. It would take less than a day for them to recover.
On the courtyard path, the two of them watched as Gu Chen was surrounded by the soldiers, but they did not go over.
“I was thinking about something and accidentally bumped into someone,” Chen Yiming said awkwardly as he regained his senses.
Gu Chen’s body was much weaker than his, and when they collided, he felt no different from someone in the disciple realm, so he did not notice that anything was amiss.
Wan Ya’s expression did not change. She suppressed the worry in her heart and said, “It shouldn’t be a big problem. The standard of this auction is very high. The ambulance will arrive soon.”
She was also shocked by the difference in their strength and subconsciously recalled Wan Rong’s instructions.
“Chen Yiming’s martial arts talent is among the best even in the Myriad Phenomena Sect. The future of the Wan clan depends on you.”
Soon, a soldier walked through the hole in the wall.
“Mr. Chen, can you tell us what happened just now?” the soldier asked.
His tone was respectful as he gave Chen Yiming the choice to speak or keep silent.
The information about the martial artists from East Lake City who had been invited to the auction had long been sent to the patrolling soldiers. Therefore, the soldier recognized the young man in front of him at a glance. He was a big shot at the warrior realm.
“I wasn’t paying attention to the road just now and accidentally bumped into someone,” Chen Yiming said honestly.
“Then there’s nothing else. That person only suffered some minor injuries from his fracture. We just need to help him bandage it,” the soldier replied with a nod.
After clarifying the matter, the soldier quickly left.
Wan Ya checked the time on her watch and suggested, “The auction is about to start. Why don’t we go back to the main hall now?”
Chen Yiming thought of the porcelain bowl and nodded. “Let’s go.”
The two of them turned around and walked back along the path they had come from. Behind them, the sirens of an ambulance sounded.
On the way back, the atmosphere became a little solemn. It was no longer as cheerful as when they first arrived.
Chen Yiming didn’t think much of it. He thought about the different situations that could happen during the bidding for the porcelain bowl and came up with various countermeasures.
Wan Ya’s thoughts were all on Wan Rong’s instructions.
In the next two generations of the Wan clan, there were no descendants with outstanding martial arts talent. At the moment, there was no one who could support the Wan clan and break through to the warrior realm. Therefore, Wan Rong had previously wanted to welcome Lin Yixuan into the clan as his son-in-law.
Her current boyfriend, Gu Chen, was from an opposing faction. This was a difficult problem to resolve, and it even overshadowed the good news that he had broken through to the warrior realm.
Her blind date partner, Chen Yiming, was from a martial arts school under the Myriad Phenomena Sect. He didn’t have the problems that her current boyfriend’s identity brought, and his talent was much higher.
She wasn’t a young girl anymore. She didn’t know if she should sacrifice herself to help her clan. After seeing the difference in strength between Gu Chen and Chen Yiming, her heart started to waver.
