I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 132: Resupply (II)

“Are there no other cities nearby where we can resupply?” Chen Yiming asked.

“If we had received the news yesterday, we could have changed our route in advance, but it’s too late now,” Fang Hongkun replied.

As the person in charge of this operation, he knew the situation of the convoy very well.

“In that case, Sir, are we still going to enter Pengzhou City?” a person in charge asked.

Fang Hongkun did not answer immediately. He thought for a while and made the arrangements.

“The convoy will remain here. Save the remaining fuel for emergencies. I’ll bring a few people to Pengzhou City to negotiate.

If negotiations fail, we can only contact East Lake City to transport the fuel. It will delay us by a day or two.”

“Do you need me to go with you?” Chen Yiming asked.

A warrior would always be of some use. At the very least, he would not be easily bullied.

“Pengzhou City is a large city second only to the provincial capital. It’s not something a small city like East Lake City can compare to. It has a guardian at the third stage of the warrior realm,” Fang Hongkun shook his head and refused.

Most ordinary warriors would be crushed when faced with someone at the second stage of the warrior realm, let alone someone at the third stage.

He was afraid that Chen Yiming was too young and inexperienced and would get into a conflict with the people from Pengzhou City.

If they killed him in Pengzhou City, it would be a huge loss to East Lake City. There was no need to take the risk.

“I’ll cultivate nearby and wait for your good news.”

Chen Yiming nodded, but his interest was piqued.

What exactly was the third stage of the warrior realm like? The answer was close at hand.

At the ordinary warrior realm, he could already defeat Ren Pingsheng, who was at the second stage of the warrior realm, and also toy with the giant three-tailed turtle.

He felt that with his current strength at the second stage of the warrior realm, it should not be a big problem for him to escape with his life from someone at the third stage of the warrior realm.

…

He separated from the convoy.

Chen Yiming ran for dozens of kilometers and arrived deep in the mountains.

He had yet to consolidate what he had gained the previous night, so he planned to use this free time to sort through it.

He first started with the Flying Feather Sword Technique, then the Thunder Sword Technique and the Mantis Snake Sword Technique. Finally, he tried to use the three sword techniques together with the concept diagrams of the meteors.

He had already had a certain inkling of what awaited him in the next stage.

The martial arts techniques for the first and second stages of the warrior realm were all deduced from concept diagrams, so it was very likely that the third stage followed similar principles.

Looking back at what he had learned when he was at the disciple realm, most of the cultivation techniques were created by imitating martial arts techniques at the warrior realm. However, they only followed the form but did not contain the core of the technique.

It was fine for tempering the body, but there were many mistakes when using it together with internal force.

Therefore, sword techniques below the warrior realm had been completely abandoned by Chen Yiming.

An hour later, Chen Yiming lay on the ground to rest.

“Although the power when combined is average, the level of the technique has already increased qualitatively,” Chen Yiming muttered to himself.

“The speed at which I obtain Skill Points has increased from 25 points per month to 75 points per month.”

He summoned the martial arts talent panel.

Chen Yiming

Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 2; Undying Body — Level 1

Level: Second stage of the warrior realm

Physique: Basic Undying Sword Body

Skill points: 50

The Level-3 swordsmanship talent required 300 Skill Points, so he was still short of 250 Skill Points. At the rate of gaining 75 Skill Points per month, he only needed a little over three months to accumulate enough Skill Points for the upgrade.

Three months was a very short time for most people. For those in the warrior realm, within this period, one’s strength might not increase at all.

However, to Chen Yiming, three months was a long time. It was enough to increase his strength drastically.

“As long as I continue to increase the level of my cultivation technique, the bottlenecks in my cultivation will never catch up to the speed at which I can upgrade my talent level.”

“There are no bottlenecks on my path of martial arts cultivation. Even if there are, I’ll just need to wait for a while to increase my talent level.”

Chen Yiming gave himself some encouragement.

After planning out how he would continue down the path of martial arts, his thoughts drifted to the guardian of Pengzhou City that Fang Hongkun had mentioned, who was at the third stage of the warrior realm.

…

At 7 pm, the sun had already set over the peaks of the mountains, and the sky was starting to turn dark.

After sorting out what he had learned, Chen Yiming cultivated for a while before rushing back to Longpo Town.

Near Longpo Town, groups of people could still be seen passing by the town on the main road and heading into the distance.

The convoy had already left the main road and was parked in a new spot in a large space.

Chen Yiming took a few leaps and returned to the convoy. He saw that Fang Hongkun and the other people in charge had already returned, and were discussing something over a fire.

Chen Yiming walked over and asked, “How did it go?”

“It was a bad outcome. Pengzhou City rejected us on the grounds that refueling for logistics purposes was completely insufficient as a reason,” Fang Hongkun said helplessly.

“Are we just going to wait here for the fuel to arrive from East Lake City?” Chen Yiming asked.

The delay of a day or two was enough for him.

Therefore, he was not disappointed to receive this news.

“Pengzhou City also told us a way to solve the fuel problem, but we have to take a certain risk,” Fang Hongkun said with a sigh.

“Tell me about it,” Chen Yiming said nonchalantly.

He had hidden most of his strength, but Fang Hongkun and the other people in charge did not know about it.

“The main reason why Pengzhou City took the initiative to invade the otherworld and build a stronghold was because a small city under the control of Pengzhou City was flattened by the beast tide three days ago,” Fang Hongkun explained.

“Three days ago?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise.

“That’s right. It was almost the same time as when we were attacked by the alien bird creatures in East Lake City,” Fang Hongkun replied.

“Could they have planned to attack at the same time?” Chen Yiming frowned.

“For the time being, we can’t be sure of that,” Fang Hongkun said in a low voice.

With that, he continued, “The solution I mentioned just now is to enter the small city and transport the fuel out. However, Mr. Chen, it shouldn’t have been long since you broke through to the warrior realm. There’s no need to take this risk.”

Fang Hongkun felt that Chen Yiming was someone who had just broken through to the warrior realm. It was difficult for him to compare to someone who had cultivated for a long time in this realm.

“Didn’t the beast tide leave after flattening the city?” Chen Yiming asked.

“It’s said that they didn’t return to the space-time passage. They might be near the small city, or they might have gone to another place,” Fang Hongkun replied.

“If the beast tide is sweeping through the vicinity of Pengzhou City, wouldn’t it be difficult to transport fuel from East Lake City? There might be a problem on the road.” Chen Yiming frowned.

“There’s nothing we can do about it. No one expected such a thing to happen,” Fang Hongkun said helplessly.

“I can go to the small city alone to check on the situation. We can decide based on the situation,” Chen Yiming said in a low voice.

“Then, I’ll leave it to you, Mr. Chen.” Fang Hongkun bowed and thanked him.

The problem of the fuel was settled.

Chen Yiming hesitated for a moment before asking indirectly, “Since Pengzhou City plans to build a stronghold in the otherworld, won’t Pengzhou City’s strength be weakened?”

“Actually, this matter is very tricky. Pengzhou City doesn’t have the ability to send a warrior who has mastered the transformation of their internal force to guard the stronghold,” Fang Hongkun replied, feeling guilty for letting Chen Yiming take such a risk as soon as he broke through.

“A warrior who can transform their internal force?” Chen Yiming asked doubtfully.

“That’s right. The alien creatures from the otherworld aren’t limited to small groups like the mutant beasts on the blue planet. Even if one is at the third stage of the warrior realm, they won’t be able to withstand the attacks from endless waves of alien creatures,” Fang Hongkun replied.

Chen Yiming nodded.

In the warrior realm, there was a limit to how many times one could use their internal force to launch a full-blown attack.

Unless one had a talent for recovery like him.

“Only the warriors that have mastered the transformation of their internal force can overcome this problem. Pengzhou City must have gathered most of their martial arts power at the stronghold in the otherworld, which is why they didn’t have the spare manpower to deal with the beast tide that’s wandering around.” Fang Hongkun analyzed the situation.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming was a little disappointed.

There was a high chance that the guardian of Pengzhou City had gone to the stronghold in the otherworld and was not in Pengzhou City.
