I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points Novel - Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Destruction

Near the cave, Chen Yiming, who had been fighting head-on with the mother beast, was instantly sent flying. He was pushed back by hundreds of meters and all the trees in his path were destroyed. A path of around half a kilometer in length was cleared in the forest. “The strength of my internal force is almost at the same level as the mother beast.” Chen Yiming concluded after the first collision.

In terms of internal force, there was no difference between the two.

Chen Yiming seemed to be no match for his opponent, but he was actually well-protected by his internal force. He wasn’t injured at all, and only felt a little pain from the impact.

“Let’s go again.”

He quickly got up. The power of lightning spread to cover the longsword in his hand. Blue electric sparks appeared on the sword like small snakes. The piercing noise appeared in the forest again. There was a loud bang.

He pushed against the ground and a huge hole instantly appeared from the impact. His figure turned into a bolt of blue lightning and charged forward.

He was moving at an extremely high speed, arriving in front of the mother beast in the blink of an eye.

“Clang!”

Chen Yiming’s sword stabbed into the mother beast’s abdomen, and the power of lightning formed by his internal force exploded.

The scales on its abdomen were smaller than the rest of its body, and its defense seemed to be weaker there compared to the rest of its body. However, even after the explosion from the internal force, his opponent’s internal force was not completely negated. Chen Yiming had seen the three warriors fight with the mother beast during the day. The situation was similar to how it was now, and it was difficult for either side to deal a deadly blow to their opponent.

“Roar…”

The mother beast’s eyes shone fiercely as it turned to glare at Chen Yiming. A black mark was left on its abdomen, and a few wisps of black smoke rose from it.

“The mother beast’s reaction speed seems to be much slower than mine.”

Chen Yiming had dodged before the huge tail landed. At this moment, he was already standing dozens of meters away. “In the head-on combat earlier, with almost no difference in the strength of our internal force, I was instantly sent flying. When it was my turn to attack, the mother beast did not react in time.

It seems that the internal force of the mother beast is biased towards the enhancement of its body, while the power of lightning formed by my internal force is biased towards increasing my reaction speed.” Chen Yiming concluded from his observations. He had roughly figured out the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

His reaction speed was fast, and he could easily dodge the mother beast’s attack. Meanwhile, the internal force of the mother beast could unleash even more power. There was no qualitative difference in the level of their internal force. After two rounds, they could not do anything to each other. “Let’s test how long I can fight with my full strength.” Chen Yiming gripped his sword tightly. He released the full power of lightning he had cultivated from the concept diagram of the Thunder Sword Technique without restraint. Immediately, the electric sparks that appeared on the surface of his body became denser and moved at a higher frequency. Crack, crack, crack…

Every muscle on his body was bulging.

His entire body suddenly became bigger, and his height increased to more than two meters. His hair also stood on end due to the electric current moving through his body.

“Huff…”

Chen Yiming let out a long breath. A puff of white smoke carrying the power of lightning shot out of his mouth and nose towards the ground.

The power of lightning exploded, and the grass within a few meters instantly became burnt.

II Kill!”

Chen Yiming leaped into the air and used the tree trunk to change directions a few times before charging at the mother beast from the air.

The longsword shone with a dazzling blue light, wrapped in his internal force.

The piercing noise echoed through the central region of the mountain range again.

“Roar…”

The mother beast let out a furious roar. It recognized that its opponent had unleashed all his strength.

The two of them had a grudge between them since he killed its children, so it did not hesitate to release all the internal force in its body either.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling red light blossomed from the mother beast’s body.

A large amount of energy flowed rapidly through its body. Its already huge body increased from more than ten meters to nearly twenty meters in length.

The red light shining from its scales instantaneously lit up a radius of several kilometers. Everything within this range turned blood red.

“Bang!”

Chen Yiming and the mother beast collided with each other with all their might, their internal force exploding at the same time. The blue power of lightning turned into electric sparks that scattered in the air, forming an electric net. Within the confines of the electric net, black smoke rose from the scorched earth.

The mother beast’s internal force, which was shining with a red light, did not seem to be showing any signs of weakness. The red light instantly lit up dried branches and leaves that it landed on, starting a forest fire.

The two sides soon fought for nearly an hour, and their internal force collided more than a hundred times.

During this time, the entire central region of the mountain range seemed as though it was bombarded by artillery shells, and rumbling sounds could be heard continuously.

The red and blue light lit up half the sky.

In the center of the mountain range, a scorched land with a radius of ten kilometers appeared.

This was the destructive power of the warrior realm, which was comparable to a human cannonball.

In an ordinary city, there would be a total of 20 to 30 martial artists among the military and the common people, which was equivalent to 20 to 30 battalions.

In addition, the internal force of warriors could continuously regenerate. That was why human cities could stand tall in the wilderness.

He clashed with the mother beast for another dozen rounds.

Chen Yiming confirmed his guess. When both sides had yet to exhaust their internal force, no matter how intense the fight was, other than their eyes, ears, and other vital parts, there was no need to deliberately protect themselves.

Neither side had the ability to completely break through the protection of their opponent’s internal force. “It’s time to retreat,” Chen Yiming decided.

He could feel that most of his internal force had been exhausted.

He did not know if there were other human or mutant beasts from the warrior realm around.

Internal force was the most important protection. There was no need to fight with the mother beast until their internal force was exhausted.

After another collision, Chen Yiming deliberately let the mother beast send him flying. After landing, the blue electric arcs on his body instantly disappeared, and he quickly retreated to the outskirts of the mountain range.

Ten minutes later, “If the eggs got destroyed, can’t it just lay more? It’s not like they had already hatched,” Chen Yiming cursed as he ran.

He was in a sorry state. Even though his clothes and pants were protected by his internal force, they were still damaged.

This was caused by his excessive actions.

Hundreds of meters behind him, “Roar…” the mother beast roared as it chased after Chen Yiming. Its eyes were fixed on the movements in front of it as it sniffed after the scent he had left behind.

Its internal force erupted without reservation, and red light lit up the forest along the way.

Wherever it passed, its huge body crushed all obstacles in its way. “Yongluo Town is not far ahead. I have to change directions,” Chen Yiming suddenly thought. He suddenly turned around and fled in another direction.

The mother beast, who was chasing after him, took advantage of this opportunity to close the distance to less than a hundred meters. The distance of a hundred meters was already approaching the range of its tongue. “I have to think of a solution. Running away won’t solve the problem. I can’t possibly lure the mother beast to East Lake City,” Chen Yiming thought as he ran.

He could sense that the mother beast had closed the distance between them.

Once it started a fight, the mother beast, who had a grudge towards the opponent that killed its children, would not let him escape easily. It was very likely that it wanted to exhaust his internal force.

It had only been a short time since he had broken through to the warrior realm. He could feel that the total amount of internal force had been increasing naturally, and he was far from reaching his limit.

As for the mother beast, Chen Yiming didn’t know how long it had been since it broke through. He didn’t think that he was a match for the mother beast.

“That’s right, I still haven’t used my trump card, the Heart Sword.” An idea flashed across Chen Yiming’s mind, and he felt frustrated. “If I had known this would happen, I would have tried to use the Heart Sword to break through the mother beast’s defense earlier when I was testing my skills.” Ever since he had discovered the power of the Heart Sword, Chen Yiming had not encountered anything that he couldn’t cut through with it.

However, after personally experiencing the power of internal force, he did not have full confidence in the Heart Sword’s abilities.

Chen Yiming was forced to change directions again when he ended up in front of a mountain.

The mother beast took the opportunity to further reduce the distance between them.

“Swish!”

A tongue covered in barbs suddenly shot out from its huge mouth. The red flesh on it was covered in a red light, making it seem just like a burning rope. This was the fastest and most agile attack from the mother beast, but because its tongue was much more fragile than its body,

even if it was protected by the internal force, there was still a risk that it would be cut in half. Therefore, it usually only used its tongue as a last resort.

Chen Yiming’s ears twitched and all the hair on his body stood on end. His body instinctively sensed the approaching danger. The moment the mother beast’s tongue shot out, he quickly changed the direction he was running in, but he was still unable to escape the tongue. The beast’s tongue was even more agile than Chen Yiming’s body, and it caught up to him in the blink of an eye. Seeing that he couldn’t dodge, Chen Yiming jumped to the side and raised his sword.

In the next moment, he released all the internal force in his body. In an instant, the power of lightning covered the sword.

“Slash!”

The power of lightning formed by his internal force, coupled with an invisible layer of Heart Sword, slashed at the tongue that was closing in on him.

“Swish!”

An opening instantly appeared in the layer of internal force on the beast’s tongue, and the raging power of lightning surged into the flesh of the tongue. Without the protection of the internal force, the fragile flesh of the tongue was almost instantly charred black.

“Roar!!!”

The mother beast let out a shrill cry. In order to protect itself, it bit off its tongue to prevent the power of lightning from entering its body.

At this moment, its eyes were filled with fear, and its huge body subconsciously moved back. The mother beast had never encountered such a situation where the protection from its internal force, which had always been effective, was suddenly broken. The balance between the two sides suddenly tilted. The Heart Sword was as unstoppable as it was before, and even the internal force was no exception.

“Huff!”

Chen Yiming heaved a sigh of relief, his head feeling a little swollen. He suddenly realized that the amount of resources utilized by the Heart Sword was not only related to the number of times it was used, but also to the target of its attack.

In the past, he had only felt tired after he used it to slash at tree trunks, rocks, and other things a hundred times.

Earlier, he had only used the Heart Sword once, but he felt that he had instantly used up about a third of his energy. In other words, if he wanted to kill the female beast, he only had one chance. This was because he could not completely exhaust his energy, or he would instantly fall unconscious. While Chen Yiming was deep in thought, the mother beast turned around and fled. It was no longer bearing the grudge from him killing its children.

“Trying to escape?”

Chen Yiming chased after it.

The two parties switched places. As the mother beast fled, it tried its best to use its huge tail to block Chen Yiming’s pursuit.

The sudden loss of its tongue proved that its opponent had a way to break through the defense of its internal force.

Even if its huge tail was cut off, with its powerful vitality, it would be able to grow another after a period of time. It was a part of its body that could be sacrificed.

After a few minutes, there would definitely be a mistake from maintaining its defensive position for a long time.

Chen Yiming relied on his faster reaction speed to dodge the attack from its huge tail. Then, he used the Heart Sword to break through the protection of the internal force on the mother beast’s head.

The raging power of lightning successfully surged into the mother beast’s brain, instantly dealing a fatal blow. Even creatures in the warrior realm would surely die if their brains were destroyed. The mother beast, which had been fighting Chen Yiming for more than an hour, died just like that in a corner of the mountain range.

Late at night, moonlight shone through the leaves and onto the ground.

At the entrance of the cave where the mother beast lived, Chen Yiming placed the hind legs of the mother beast on a huge fire and barbecued them. At the side, there were more than ten charred eggs. The eggs were extremely large. Lying on their sides, each of them was about half a meter tall and one meter wide.

“It would be a waste to just throw away the meat of a warrior-level mutant beast.

It just so happens that cultivating the concept diagram will use up a lot of my body’s energy,” Chen Yiming said as he sat in front of the fire. He supported himself with both hands and looked up at the starry sky. Even if he cultivated without stopping and ate as much as he could of the eggs and the mother beast’s carcass,

even with his enhanced digestion after breaking through to the warrior realm, he would need at least a week to finish all of it.

After all, the carcass alone was more than ten meters long and about five meters tall. It weighed about ten tons.

This meant that he had to eat a few tons of mutant beast meat every day. Compared to ordinary people, this was already beyond the amount a glutton could eat. “Even if it’s burnt, it doesn’t taste too different from a chicken egg.” Chen Yiming took advantage of the time it took to roast the hind leg to crack open an egg and consumed its contents in a few bites.

As he spoke, a surge of heat welled up in his stomach which was quickly absorbed by his body. The cells in his body began to regain their energy, and the fatigue from more than an hour of fighting gradually faded. “I didn’t expect the eggs to contain so much energy. I’ll eat a few and make full use of the time to cultivate.” Chen Yiming felt full after eating two more eggs, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and started to cultivate the concept diagram. During his cultivation of the concept diagram, a seemingly endless stream of internal force was born in his body. The energy he had just replenished was quickly depleted. At the same time, he released his internal force with all his might, and a layer of lightning instantly covered his entire body like an armor.

After breaking through to the warrior realm, his body had been released from its shackles.

Using the lightning power formed by his internal force to temper his body, he could clearly feel that the total amount of internal force his body could hold was increasing.

After cultivating for half an hour, Chen Yiming opened his eyes and stood up to stretch his aching muscles. The three eggs he had eaten earlier had already been completely converted into energy for his body, then used up during his cultivation of the concept diagram. After going through one round of cultivation, he felt that his total amount of internal force had increased a little. “Growl…”

His stomach signaled his hunger. Chen Yiming glanced at the remains of the mother beast’s carcass and turned to walk into the forest.

Another half an hour passed.

13 large fires appeared at the entrance of the cave. On top of them were parts of the mother beast’s carcass that had been cut up.

The head was divided into two parts, the four limbs each formed one part, and the back and abdomen were divided four parts altogether. The huge tail was cut up into three parts. “If only there was some sauce and spices.” Chen Yiming looked at his masterpiece with a slightly pained expression. He might be able to make do if it was just for one or two meals, but he would have to eat his meals with no seasoning for a whole week. Just the thought of it made his scalp tingle. Following the principle of not wasting food, he would finish all of it no matter how bad it tasted.

For the next week, Chen Yiming lived a life of alternating between cultivation and eating. When he was tired, he would take a short break before continuing with his cultivation.

Fortunately, after breaking through to the warrior realm, his body was no longer that of an ordinary person. He only needed one or two hours of sleep to completely feel well-rested.

During this time, due to his continuous cultivation, no mutant beasts dared to disturb

him.

Under his continuous cultivation, the improvement in his internal force was very obvious.

He did not know what the limit was for his internal force cultivation, but compared to a week ago, his total amount of internal force had increased by about 10%.

This brought tears to his eyes.

For the past week, he had been eating mutant beast meat without any seasoning every day. He was about to throw up.

If not for the fact that it was his first time he had hunted a mutant beast at the warrior level, and that the meat of a mutant beast of this level was too rare and precious, he would have given up a long time ago. At this moment, the bones left behind from his meals were piled up at the entrance of the cave.

The female beast’s skeleton was extremely large. Its ribs were about twenty centimeters in diameter and about three meters long.

Needless to say, the four leg bones were more than a meter in diameter. “What a pity that Chen Yingying’s cultivation level is too low. If not, I would have brought some back for her.” Chen Yiming took one last look at his masterpiece and quickly turned to leave.

The meat of a warrior-level mutant beast contained an unimaginable amount of energy that ordinary people could not properly absorb.

Even though Chen Yingying had already broken through to the disciple realm, her level was still too low. Chen Yiming didn’t dare to let her take the risk.
