I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: The Entire Audience Is Shocked! The Absolute Brilliance of a Genius!

Nangong Su was indeed surprised, but could still accept it.

On the other hand, Zhang Tiao looked quite displeased.

In his early forties, having reached the Ninth Transformation stage, Zhang Tiao claimed himself to be one of Xia’s young elite, with the potential to join the ranks of the War Gods in the future, and it was not an exaggeration.

He boasted such conditions that, without exaggeration, there would definitely be no shortage of pursuers around him.

Nangong Ling was excellent, but Zhang Tiao was not bad either.

Just a moment ago, the patriarch, Nangong Su, had confidently assured that he could facilitate this arranged marriage. Yet the next moment, the woman he had set his heart on came home arm-in-arm with a handsome young man.

Who could endure such a situation?

Zhang Tiao only felt as if a hat had been placed on his head.

Shock aside,

as the head of the family, Nangong Su couldn’t lose his etiquette.

Before he had fully regained his senses, his hand had instinctively extended to shake Lin Yi’s.

”Dad, this is my boyfriend, Lin Yi. Isn’t he handsome?”

???

No, girl, I know you resent the arranged marriage set up by the family, but isn’t it a bit much to bring a handsome guy to deflect it?

To have achieved the Sixth Transformation at less than twenty, in Nangong Su’s eyes, he indeed had some capability.

But compared to Nangong Ling and Zhang Tiao, the gap was still not small.

Bringing such a young man as a shield against the arrows of a Ninth Transformation powerhouse, have you considered young Lin Yi’s feelings?

”Girl, you can’t joke about this. Young Zhang is the pillar of our Xia, a potential future War God candidate. Introducing you to him isn’t mistreating you, right?”

”You’re casually dragging a junior to settle your affairs. Have you thought about who you’re offending?”

”Your behavior is irresponsible towards his future!”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tiao walked forward with a smile.

”Mr. Nangong, what you said~”

”Mr. Lin is a junior, and also a future hope of our Xia. How could I bear a grudge against him over such a trivial matter?”

Saying this, he assumed a senior’s posture and patted Lin Yi’s shoulder.

”Mr. Lin, wouldn’t you agree?”

Zhang Tiao could still maintain a pleasant demeanor, making Nangong Su admire him even more.

He added a few words about how capable people have a broad mind.

Through brief contact, Lin Yi developed a good impression of Nangong Su and Zhang Tiao.

As a patriarch, Nangong Su did not exhibit an air of superiority towards a junior despite his status and position.

As for Zhang Tiao, he wasn’t a bad person.

There was no pettiness and no arrogance in front of juniors.

If there was blame, it would be on Nangong Ling for having high standards and dismissing him.

”Uncle, Mr. Zhang....”

”I and my senior are serious.”

Mr..... Mr. Zhang?!

You little rascal.... damn it!

Two simple words almost broke Zhang Tiao’s facade.

Nangong Ling you call senior, and I, Zhang Tiao, you call uncle, what’s the meaning?

This is clearly an affront to me!

If it weren’t for the presence of Nangong Su and Nangong Ling, Zhang Tiao had to maintain his image, and Lin Yi’s words would definitely get a rebuke.

”Alright, kid, don’t follow your senior in fooling around.”

”This senior has no measure, let young Zhang give you a few pointers later? It won’t be a wasted trip.....”

The Nangong Clan values martial arts, and family feasts inevitably have moments for the juniors’ competitive bouts.

Nangong Su originally planned to give Lin Yi a way out, but unexpectedly, Nangong Ling responded with something that shocked even the two Ninth Transformation experts.

Nangong Ling: Good, if Uncle Zhang can defeat Lin Yi, I’ll agree to this marriage!

The entire Nangong family was in an uproar.

Not only was it the three-yearly whole clan banquet, but also because the eldest lady, Nangong Ling, brought her boyfriend home, and this young man was daring enough to challenge a Ninth Transformation expert with his Sixth Transformation level.

The Nangong family’s banquet, compared to ordinary families, was more unique.

At the center of the family banquet was a wide square arena, surrounded by a special barrier, transparent and strong.

Around the arena were gradually elevated wide steps, and on them were elegant pavilions, allowing clan members to watch the juniors’ bouts while enjoying their feast.

Bouts between juniors always ended at the point of fairness.

With the juniors mostly at lower levels, there wasn’t too much excitement during the contests.

The most anticipated was the battle between Lin Yi and Zhang Tiao.

The difference between the three Transformations seemed small but was actually an insurmountable chasm.

Looking across Xia, there were countless Sixth Transformation professionals, but those who could join the ranks of the Ninth Transformation experts numbered only a few hundred.

In the eyes of onlookers, this was a senior guiding a junior.

”Mr. Lin, I admire your loyalty.”

”But marriage is no trifling matter. Now would be a good time to stop. In this bout, you may give your all, don’t hold back, don’t worry, I’ll go easy on you.”

When Zhang Tiao said this, he was quite pleased with himself.

Nangong Ling had promised that if Zhang Tiao won, she would agree to the marriage.

As a Ninth Transformation powerhouse, Zhang Tiao really didn’t know what to say.

This marriage proposal, wasn’t it a guaranteed win?

Honestly, Zhang Tiao was quite nice.

If it weren’t for the senior’s request, Lin Yi really wouldn’t want to ruin Zhang Tiao’s good fortune.

But breaking a forced melon, it isn’t sweet~

”Alright, Mr. Zhang, please show your teaching~”

.....You brat!

The two of them moved into position, and after the command from Nangong Su, the battle began immediately.

”Mr. Lin, be careful!”

Seeing that Lin Yi had no intention of attacking, Zhang Tiao couldn’t hold back and took the lead.

In his view, as long as he defeated Lin Yi, he could win the beauty’s heart.

The next moment, Zhang Tiao’s punch, strong enough to defeat a Seventh Transformation practitioner, landed solidly on a mechanical shield.

The anticipated destruction didn’t happen.

Zhang Tiao’s figure, accompanied by a massive sound burst, was flung back.

This scene stunned all members of the Nangong family.

No, isn’t this kid at Sixth Transformation?

Lin Yi, Lin Yi?

Why does this name sound so familiar? After some thought, Nangong Su immediately recalled the information related to Lin Yi.

This year’s top student in Xia, the young talent specifically recruited into Shenxiao, wasn’t it Lin Yi?

After transforming mid-air to dissipate force, Zhang Tiao barely stabilized his stance.

His face no longer showed any sense of composure, now fully replaced by astonishment.

Shaking his now-numb fist, Zhang Tiao stood dazed.

Where did this brat get such arrogance?

What was this bizarre shield, equipment? No, it was a skill!

”Mr. Lin deserves to be a Shenxiao student, your strength is indeed remarkable, let’s go again!”

To ease the awkwardness, Zhang Tiao feigned a relaxed expression but was actually charging up the eighth-tier skill [Divine King Strike], attempting to shatter Lin Yi’s shield.

But before the skill was fully charged, Zhang Tiao’s figure uncontrollably charged towards Lin Yi.

Suddenly exploding in speed, Zhang Tiao stirred cheers among the Nangong Clan.

Only he himself was filled with confusion.

I hadn’t even moved yet?

Upon looking up, a sword entwined with lightning, exuding a rich Power of Law, was already poised at Zhang Tiao’s forehead.

At that moment, the three Ninth Transformation experts of the Nangong family rose abruptly, faces aghast.

A Sixth Transformation kid, holding a Law tool?!
