I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 112: Many Lives (II)

“What’s the matter?” Chen Yiming asked. He had killed two flying mutant beasts at the warrior realm in a row, and the lingering murderous aura on his body had yet to dissipate.

Su Xiuming suddenly felt awake and stammered, “Master asked me to inform all the core disciples to go to the martial arts school.”

“What exactly happened?” Chen Yiming asked. He didn’t want to go unless it was something important.

After all, he had severely injured Lin Yixuan, and Lin Yixuan was the one Wan Rong had announced as the next head.

“Eldest Senior Brother…”

Su Xiuming had just finished speaking when he broke down and started sobbing.

After a while, he finally recovered.

“Eldest Senior Brother was killed by the flying mutant beasts that attacked the hospital.”

“…” Chen Yiming fell silent, not knowing how to reply. Although Lin Yixuan would die sooner or later, he had left him alive.

However, he had severely injured him, causing Lin Yixuan to be completely unable to fight back when the flying mutant beasts attacked.

“What did Master say?” Chen Yiming asked again.

“…” This time, it was Su Xiuming’s turn to be silent.

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Chen Yiming asked in a low voice.

A wave of pressure hit him.

“Master didn’t say much. He just said that you have to be there,” Su Xiuming said honestly, feeling frightened.

“I see.” Chen Yiming nodded.

Although the head of the school didn’t personally guide Chen Yiming much, he was still his master in name. Since his master had mentioned his name, he had no choice but to make a trip there.

However, Chen Yiming wasn’t afraid that his master would blame him. He had already thought of a good explanation for his actions.

The first reason was that Lin Yixuan had made such unreasonable arrangements. It was also Lin Yixuan who had suggested that whoever was stronger would have to listen to the other. He was not the one who had triggered the subsequent events.

Secondly, Lin Yixuan had cheated by taking the enhancement drugs, causing Chen Yiming to become unable to properly gauge his strength.

Soon, Chen Yiming followed Su Xiuming to the martial arts school.

…

In the main hall on the first floor of the Mantis Snake Sword School,

on the walls around the hall, a burning torch was hung every two meters. The dim yellow light illuminated the entire hall.

Chen Yiming and Su Xiuming arrived at the school and realized that the head, Wan Rong, was not there.

Chen Yiming walked over to Wang Bowen and asked in a low voice, “Senior Brother Wang, what’s the situation now?”

Wang Bowen didn’t answer directly. Instead, he asked, “Is your family alright?”

“They’re unharmed and have returned home. The two people you sent are protecting them nearby,” Chen Yiming replied.

Wang Bowen nodded and continued, “Lin Yixuan died in an accident during the attack by the flying mutant beasts. We might have to discuss the issue of the next head later.”

Chen Yiming heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t a meeting specifically for him, there wouldn’t be much of a problem.

No matter how talented Lin Yixuan was, he was already a dead man.

On the other hand, he had achieved Lin Yixuan’s accomplishments in less than a year. The head probably wouldn’t make things too difficult for him.

Before long, the head, Wan Rong, walked out of his room on the second floor and slowly descended the stairs to the main hall.

Wan Rong only had a serious expression on his face. There did not seem to be much sadness there, as though he did not know that his future son-in-law had just passed away.

He swept his gaze across all the core disciples in front of him.

When he looked at Chen Yiming, Chen Yiming deliberately suppressed his aura to prevent him from noticing anything amiss.

“Lin Yixuan is already dead. All your past grudges will end here.” Wan Rong let the matter rest with just one sentence, not blaming any of the disciples at all.

“Master, how can we let this go? If it wasn’t for Chen Yiming…” Mu Yuerong cried as she knelt down with tears streaming down her face.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Yuerong.

He could not figure out how his senior sister’s brain worked.

Previously, Lin Yixuan was about to become the Wan clan’s son-in-law, but she had still followed him around. Now that he was dead, she wanted to push all the blame on him.

He was clearly the one being bullied. If not for that unreasonable arrangement, nothing would have happened, and Lin Yixuan would not have died.

“Alright, we have to move on,” Wan Rong said calmly.

His tone was stiff and emotionless, completely unlike the refined and gentle master he remembered.

He ignored Mu Yuerong, who was still sobbing, and looked at Chen Yiming.

“Yiming, look at how old Master is. Shouldn’t you help me share some of the burden?” Wan Rong’s expression changed instantly as he spoke amiably.

As soon as he finished speaking, most of the disciples’ expressions froze.

Other than Wang Bowen and Teng Zhihui, the others weren’t close to Chen Yiming. Many of them even had conflicted feelings towards him.

“Master, the people nowadays advocate freedom in love. I think so too,” Chen Yiming rejected him calmly.

He had already rehearsed this situation in his mind. The words he said were all prepared in advance.

“Haha, of course. I’ve never forced any disciple,” Wan Rong said with a smile as he stroked his white beard.

Chen Yiming thought about it carefully. That was indeed the case. The head had always respected his disciple’s opinions.

“However, your senior brothers and sisters have been cultivating for so many years, but none of them have seen any hope of breaking through to the warrior realm,” Wan Rong said slowly, “If we can’t find a suitable successor in the future, the higher-ups will send someone to take over the school. Who knows how they will deal with your senior brothers and sisters?”

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Chen Yiming understood the meaning hidden behind Wan Rong’s words, but he still planned to reject him.

If any senior brother was willing to work for his company in the future, he would not be so petty as to mind the conflicts in the past.

Just as Chen Yiming was about to reject him, Wan Rong spoke first. “I forgot to tell you something regarding freedom in love. Even if you marry Wan Ya, it’s not like you’re not allowed to find a mistress.”

Chen Yiming’s expression froze. He had underestimated his master’s shamelessness. How could he say such a thing in front of so many people?

Wan Rong smiled and continued, “Master doesn’t need you to marry into the Wan clan. It’s fine as long as the first boy you have with Wan Ya is surnamed Wan.”

Chen Yiming almost spat out his food.

He was forcing him to become the head of the school.

The other senior brothers also had strange expressions on their faces. They were surprised that their master would actually say such a thing.

After all, Wan Ya had always been their master’s treasured daughter.

“Master, I’ve never met Wan Ya before. I really can’t accept such an arrangement,” Chen Yiming refused.

Wan Rong was rejected by the youngest core disciple repeatedly, but he wasn’t angry. Instead, he said, “Yiming, do you know what a setup is?”

“Master, please tell me.” Chen Yiming calmed down. He planned to deal with whatever came his way. It was easy to find an excuse.

“In general, humans are still at an absolute disadvantage when compared to the otherworld,” Wan Rong said calmly, “You broke through to the realm of a warrior candidate in less than a year. It’s said that you also have a constitution that is resistant to lightning. Such talent cannot be wasted. It’s more important to leave behind more descendants.”

Chen Yiming’s forehead was bulging. Was his master trying to make him a stud?

Wan Rong continued, “The warrior realm is also known as the supernatural realm in the West. People will still be considered ordinary even if they cultivate to the limit of the warrior candidate realm. Only by stepping into the warrior realm will there be a difference just like that between heaven and earth.”

Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged as he agreed with the statement in his heart.

He was in the warrior realm, so how could he not understand the differences?

The difference between the lower limit of internal force and higher limit of external force was like the difference between heaven and earth. No matter how strong a warrior candidate was, they would not be able to withstand a blow with internal force from a warrior.

“I believe you saw with your own eyes how the three flying mutant beasts at the warrior realm wreaked havoc in the city during the day,” Wan Rong said, “As long as you agree to be the next head, I can send you to the Myriad Phenomena Faction to further your cultivation. That is where a true martial arts genius should go.”

Chen Yiming hesitated when he heard this.

The Myriad Phenomena Faction must have a cultivation method after the warrior realm. As long as he agreed, he could cultivate peacefully.

The outside world was too chaotic. Wherever he went, he would encounter trouble. There would always be people who did not want him to cultivate peacefully and would cause trouble for him.

“In the next few days, take some time to meet Wan Ya. There’s no need to be in a hurry to reject this.” Wan Rong’s eyes lit up as he chuckled. He had taken in all the changes occurring in Chen Yiming.
