I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 343: Attack from the Behemoth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was evening.

Since Chen Yiming came back for once in a long while, Mother Chen put on her apron and cooked a big meal.

Before long, the dining table was filled with all kinds of home-cooked food. There were more than 10 dishes in total, and they all contained meat and vegetables. The dishes looked, smelled, and tasted good.

At this moment, a call came in. It was from Father Chen.

“Hello?”

“I have something to do tonight, so I have to go back late.”

“Working overtime again?”

…

Mother Chen picked up her phone and said a few words to Father Chen. After hanging up, her expression did not look too good.

Chen Yiming, who had sharp ears, heard their conversation clearly. The second industrial base for the space plan was trying its best to overcome a certain technology and was at a critical moment. Dawn was just around the corner.

As the leader, Father Chen took the initiative to lead by example and work overtime with everyone in the base.

A few months ago, after the space plan was finalized, the Daxia Kingdom chose a suitable city in the north, south, east and west within a week.

With the investment from the entire country, nine industrial bases were established, and each was in charge of a portion of the spaceship.

The first industrial base was located in Jiangnan City. East Lake City had used its special status to establish the second industrial base.

Father Chen was invited to be the head of the base and oversee the matters at the second industrial base.

Of course, this was only a title. The head was in charge of the overall strategy, but there were also many experts gathered there, and the technical matters were dealt with by professionals.

…

At dinnertime, Mother Chen kept heaping food onto his plate.

The bowl in front of Chen Yiming was filled with food, but it was quickly finished.

Moreover, as he ate, he casually helped Chen Yingying with the problems she had encountered during her cultivation.

Possessing internal force was only the beginning of the path to becoming a supernatural being. As one progressed deeper into the warrior realm, on the surface, one’s internal force would still remain the same.

However, the quality of the internal force was already different. The difference in forms and the rejection between different types of internal force greatly increased the difficulty of controlling it.

Unless one’s spiritual talent was outstanding, there were no shortcuts in the warrior realm. One needed to take one step at a time, going from easy to difficult stages, to complete the entire process.

Chen Yingying suddenly changed the topic and asked, “What are the requirements to buy the tickets?”

The ‘ticket’ he was referring to was for boarding the spaceship in the space plan.

Other than the elites among the warriors and the experts from various industries who could confirm that there was a high chance that they would board the ship, the rest was still a mystery.

“Buy it? Where did you hear that?” Chen Yiming asked.

“Uh, a classmate asked me about it, but I didn’t know how to answer,” Chen Yingying explained.

“I see.”

Chen Yiming continued, “It’s still early for the matters regarding the spaceship. Be patient and wait for the news. Everyone has a chance.”

The goal of the space plan was not to take away all the elites of the Daxia Kingdom.

Instead, it was to preserve the structure of human society from top to bottom and ensure that human civilization could be quickly restored after the spacecraft arrived on a new planet.

In reality, there was no such thing as purchasing the tickets. They would all be decided before they set off.

Of course, if a certain person was unwilling to leave the blue planet, the spot would be taken away and someone of the same status would replace him.

Mother Chen glared at Chen Yingying. “Don’t leak such confidential information.”

Chen Yingying quickly explained, “Don’t worry, I’m just asking. I know what to do.”

Of course, she knew that this was no small matter. It involved the overall arrangements of the Daxia Kingdom, so she could not say anything rash.

…

Early the next morning, Father Chen finally dragged his tired body home.

Fortunately, he had been using the miracle blood to nourish his body for a long time. Father Chen had also started to practice some techniques to improve his health. As long as he did not overwork his body for a prolonged period, it was not a big deal.

Chen Yiming talked to Father Chen and instructed him to take care of his body.

There was something that was hard to say. Father Chen was not an expert, nor was he a strategic leader.

The main reason why he was the head of the second industrial base was because East Lake City wanted to maintain close ties with Chen Yiming.

Not long after, Chen Yiming left home and headed to the provincial biological research institute.

After both of his talents were enhanced and he broke through to the inscription realm, he had relied on his terrifying recovery ability to cut off a small piece of the 10,000-meter-long corpse’s finger.

With the development of the miracle blood, and him providing this finger for their research, he hoped that there would be a huge research breakthrough soon.

…

“You’re here.”

“How’s the effect of the graft?”

“After the wound on the finger healed, the blood vessels growing out of the ball of flesh were directly broken. We tried many methods, including using fragments of the extraordinary weapons to help, but the effect was not ideal.”

“I see! I didn’t expect a small part of the finger to still have such power.”

“We analyzed the cells of the finger and the ball of flesh. The result was that the difference in level was too great. Without external aid, the ball of flesh could not absorb any energy from the finger.”

Chen Yiming nodded with a serious expression.

After he entered the research institute, he bumped into Wu Susu, who had been working all night and had just come out to take a breather.

The quick-witted Chen Yiming immediately steered the topic back to the research progress.

As expected, Wu Susu had completely entered the state of a researcher and didn’t have the chance to talk about anything else. The matter of Chen Yiming seeing her spiritual form was glossed over just like that.

Before long, Chen Yiming and Wu Susu arrived at a special independent building behind the laboratory building.

The part of the finger of the 10,000-meter-long corpse he had provided was nearly 30 meters long. There was no suitable spot for it in the original laboratory building.

This special independent building was 50 meters tall. Tall and thick shelves held the ‘finger’ up.

As soon as they entered, a group of experts and professors with dark eye circles turned around in unison.

After recognizing Chen Yiming, their eyes lit up. They hadn’t been able to do anything about the finger on their own.

The institute head, Wu Weiguo, walked over quickly, looking like he was troubled by something.

Chen Yiming sized up the current situation between the finger and the ball of flesh.

The mysterious symbols at the cross-section of the ‘finger’ seemed to be connected to each other, extending out from the flesh inside in the form of chains.

At the moment, although the mysterious symbols were silent, they still protected the original wound tightly. It was like a seal formed by chains, and the blood vessels of the ball of flesh could not enter at all.

Wu Weiguo said, “By relying on the blood collected before the wound on the finger healed, the miracle blood transformed from the ball of flesh has created a special unit of 10,000 bloodline warriors.”

“10,000 people?”

Chen Yiming nodded. It was similar to what he had expected.

If they squeezed out all that they could from this small finger immediately, they might be able to use it to transform millions of people into bloodline warriors.

Of course, the level of the ball of flesh was limited, and the speed at which the miracle blood was produced would definitely not be able to keep up with the finger’s recovery speed. Therefore, in theory, humans could rely on the small piece of their finger to continuously obtain the miracle blood.

Next, his gaze landed on the mysterious symbols on the chain.

At the moment, the obstacle in the production of the miracle blood was these mysterious symbols. Even though it had died, it could still turn the mysterious symbols into tools at will.

Neither Chen Yiming nor the spiritual figure could do this.

He walked over to the chains and grabbed them, then tried to pull them apart.

The chains formed by the mysterious symbols suddenly shrank back into its flesh, revealing the wound on the finger.

“Is it instinctively afraid of me?”

Chen Yiming raised an eyebrow. He could only think so.

Back then, he had used his body to forcefully withstand his opponent’s passive counterattack. He had then taken the opportunity to use the sword formed by the spiritual figure to slash open a huge wound.

After failing to counterattack once, it tried a second time.

However, Chen Yiming only spat out a mouthful of blood. During its counterattack, he had slashed at the wound again, causing it to widen.

In the end, he relied on such a simple method to cut off a small piece of its finger by slashing at the same spot again and again.

After that, he confirmed the truth. When this 10,000-meter-long corpse was alive, it had really sealed away something related to the black tide.

This was because after killing the ghosts formed by the black blood, no more black blood seeped out from the ‘finger’, revealing normal bright red flesh.

“Take the blood!” Chen Yiming turned around and said calmly.

At the moment, this small piece of finger had a subconscious ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It also knew how to protect itself. They could only rely on him coming down every once in a while to get the blood from it.

Seeing this, the experts and professors quickly took action.

…

In the human stronghold in the otherworld, industries based on the loot from the creatures from the otherworld, such as processing plants, weapons manufacturing facilities and so on were established around the stronghold like bamboo shoots after a rain.

This was not like the modern factories on the human blue planet. Instead, they relied purely on manpower to split the corpses of the creatures from the otherworld and make full use of the various materials.

At this time, the stronghold was a lively place.

Countless human warriors used the stronghold as a transit point and moved around in the range of more than 1,000 kilometers around it, hunting creatures from the otherworld and bringing them back to the stronghold.

This was a positive feedback cycle. As time passed, the influence of humans in the otherworld would increase.

However, at this moment, an extremely oppressive aura spread over from the distant sky. All the human warriors’ scalps instantly turned numb and their hair stood on end.

It was as if the heavens were watching them. At that moment, their hearts seemed to have stopped beating. Whether they lived or died was completely up to their opponent.

All the sounds in the entire human stronghold instantly disappeared. There was a dead silence, and there was only the sound of some things or people falling to the ground.

About 10 minutes later, the oppressive aura disappeared.

“What was that just now?”

“I think it might be a natural disaster in the otherworld.”

“Could it be the arrival of the ‘black tide’?”

“No way. Isn’t it said that the ‘black tide’ comes from outer space?”

…

The human warriors outside the stronghold heaved a sigh of relief and started to communicate with each other.

At the same time, the humans quickly retreated to the vicinity of the stronghold. They were all worried that something had happened in the otherworld.

If they were near the space-travel passage, they could retreat to the blue planet quickly.

A few hours later, suddenly, a row of dense black dots appeared from afar, causing the entire stronghold to shake slightly.

“It’s a giant beast! A behemoth!”

A human bloodline warrior who had a vision-related ability shouted, his face filled with fear.

Ever since the news of the ‘black tide’ was made public, it was no longer a rare thing to see mutant creatures, including mutant humans. At the moment, various cities had organized special teams to hunt them.

However, this was the first time such a thing had happened in the otherworld. It had to be known that the creatures from the otherworld were not like the mutant beasts in the Daxia Kingdom, where there were no powerful creatures.

“Really! Hurry and report it to the military.”

Someone confirmed it then ran into the stronghold.

This was not something that ordinary martial artists could deal with. Looking at the number of black dots on the horizon, it seemed like they were going to flatten the human stronghold.

…

Wu Susu followed Chen Yiming out of the laboratory building.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, feeling inexplicably frustrated. He had a feeling that something bad had happened.

“What’s wrong?” Wu Susu asked.

“I’m fine. I just suddenly recalled some things from the past.”

Chen Yiming found an excuse to brush it off.

Soon, the conversation turned to the cultivation of spiritual power. Wu Susu had awakened a special ability similar to that of a bloodline warrior, which she temporarily called telekinesis.

After hearing her description, Chen Yiming had to admit that this ‘spiritual power’ was a little special.

After a little practice, the weight that Wu Susu could lift with this ‘spiritual power’ had rapidly increased. At the moment, it could allow her to fight someone who was a level higher than her.

“Another genius like Feng Wuji, and she was delayed for more than 10 years.”

Chen Yiming could only sigh in his heart.

Wu Susu’s main focus was still on scientific research. She only took some time off to cultivate so that she could master the transformation of her internal force.

If she focused mainly on her cultivation, in the past few months, she might have already broken through to the half-step master realm like Feng Wuji.

At this moment, a call was made to the provincial biological research institute. After Wu Weiguo hung up, he rushed out of the laboratory building, interrupting Chen Yiming and Wu Susu’s conversation.

“A behemoth is attacking?”

“The black tide has descended?”

Hearing the urgent news from Wu Weiguo, Chen Yiming’s heart skipped a beat. Less than a quarter of a year had passed, and the space plan was far from completed.

Now, they could barely resolve the problem of the power system by relying on the fragments of the extraordinary weapons.

However, if they rashly set off for a new planet after resolving only the issue of the power system, there was a 99% chance that they would fail.

For the space plan, it was estimated that it would take at least a year to make the preparations to head to a new planet. If they had three years, they would have full confidence that they could reach the new planet.

Thinking of this, he felt frustrated.

If the black tide really descended, the only thing he could feel a little lucky about was that it did not descend directly on the blue planet, but from a certain place in the otherworld.

In other words, the shadow mouth on the moon was not a medium for its descent, but a powerful special weapon.

“Using battle to stall for time seems to be the only way to deal with this.”

Chen Yiming, who was deep in thought, quickly made a plan.

He needed to control the battle with the black tide as much as possible in the otherworld, and drag it out for at least half a year to ensure that the initial stages of the space plan were completed.

At that time, no matter the final outcome, there would be a way out.

In fact, even if he lost, he could just go to a new planet and stay there for the time being and increase his talent level before charging back.

This was the confidence of someone who had the martial arts talent system. As long as he did not die, he would be able to return and obtain victory one day.
