I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 842: Chapter 842: A Person Like No Other

“Cheng Ji.”

Ziyue looked seriously at the long-haired man before her and said.

“There aren’t many people who could earn such a rating from you.”

“We’ve known each other for many years, and the number can be counted on one hand.”

The long-haired man smiled slightly.

“He’s one of those you’ve recruited; you probably know better than I do how capable he is. Moreover, you’ve never taken your eyes off him since he entered with these achievements. You’re of a certain age now, so I doubt you’re involved in any cougar situations.”

The mood, initially pleasant, instantly vanished.

After knowing each other for centuries, Ziyue knew Cheng Ji had a foul mouth, but she hadn’t expected it could be this bad. Any goodwill she had was completely wiped out.

The scene at the banquet.

A large screen showed Ziyue’s face.

This charming matron had already adjusted her expression and was smiling at everyone at the banquet scene.

“Everyone, you’ve joined Dark Rising for quite some time and contributed a lot to Dark Rising. On behalf of Dark Rising, I thank you all.”

Ziyue is essentially the manager of these “achievements.”

Including Lin Yi, everyone’s Dark Rising Ring was given by her.

Thus, the powerhouses at the venue were all very pleased when they saw Ziyue.

They all raised their wine glasses to the beautiful matron on the big screen.

“Ziyue, you’re too kind. This is our duty.”

The powerhouses at the banquet site were all heroes of their day.

After joining Dark Rising, they didn’t receive any substantial benefits and did many things for Dark Rising, but they felt no displeasure, no grievance.

The information library within the ring helped them build a correct worldview, giving them clear goals to strive for.

“Still too early for thanks, everyone. There’s something I must tell you.”

Ziyue changed her tone and stated the purpose of the banquet.

Dark Rising Association is the organization aiming to overthrow the rule of All Celestial Divine Beings.

This organization is composed of elites, with no room for trash.

Therefore, before officially becoming a member of Dark Rising Association, everyone present must undergo a test.

Ziyue’s words turned the previously high-spirited atmosphere at the banquet site quiet.

The waiters who served the dishes seemed to anticipate an upcoming battle and had already secretly left without a trace.

As the atmosphere grew more tense, Ziyue delivered the most heartless words with the kindest expression:

Even though everyone present contributed in varying degrees to Dark Rising, in order for everyone to smoothly become a member, a battle will be arranged for you.

The wine everyone had drunk earlier contained a toxin infused with the Power of the Primordial. Once affected by this poison, your power will be halved. If you can survive the pursuit of the Divine Law Enforcement Team under this condition, you will smoothly join our Dark Rising Association. Good luck to you all.

Before the powerhouses present could question, the screen had already gone dark.

Immediately, a powerful force of space emanated from the screen, enveloping the entire banquet venue.

Nearly a thousand powerhouses who wielded the Power of the Primordial couldn’t even react before being pulled into a new space, including Lin Yi and Xiyue.

The surroundings completely transformed, and the entire space was a boundless pure white.

In addition to the powerhouses originally from the banquet site, there appeared a uniform lineup of one thousand individuals dressed in uniforms, all exuding the Power of the Primordial.

The toxin Ziyue referred to was far more potent than she indicated.

Power halved isn’t only a simple reduction in Magic Comprehension; it’s an overall reduction in strength.

Among the powerhouses of Dark Rising, few who had a high comprehension level of the Power of the Primordial could barely use it after strength reduction.

As for those whose comprehension level wasn’t very high, their power was completely stripped away.

Facing a thousand opponents all wielding the Power of the Primordial presented an obvious predicament.

Having the Power of the Primordial on your side made all the difference.

“Is Ziyue crazy? We barely number seven or eight hundred, and considering our average quality isn’t as good as the opposition, trying to defeat these people is ridiculous. Are they planning to kill us?”

“Indeed, Dark Rising Organization is planning to undue us once our work is done. Is this way of troubling us appropriate? Ziyue, woman, get out here immediately!”

“Damn it, I’ve never suffered such humiliation in my life! Ziyue, you’d better listen up: if I manage to leave here safely, I will make you pay!”

Threatening and cursing words echoed throughout the space.

Outside the space, Ziyue and Cheng Ji looked on expressionlessly.

Threats didn’t concern Ziyue in the least.

Not to mention that almost none in the space could match her ability.

Even if there were, so what?

Under the crushing weight of absolute strength, how could they survive and walk out of the unique space Dark Rising had established for them?

“Indeed, that kid is something. Look, he and his female companion are unmoved after learning of the situation. Under these circumstances, to remain so calm—such a person…”

“Either everything is under his control, or he’s a supreme fool. Which do you think Lin Yi is?”

The answer to this question is obvious.

Can anyone foolish join Dark Rising?

Even knowing that Lin Yi, with the help of Wo Zhiqi, would not easily surrender to this, Ziyue is eager to see what kind of performance Lin Yi will display against these thousands endowed with the Power of the Primordial.

“It seems today won’t end peacefully. The two of us must go all out; otherwise, we won’t survive.”

Lin Yi looked at Xiyue and said calmly.

Truth be told, facing over a thousand enemies endowed with the Power of the Primordial didn’t give Xiyue much confidence to win.

But by Lin Yi’s side, she felt anything was possible, that there was nothing she couldn’t accomplish.

“Alright~ I’ll follow your lead!”

As the two readied for battle, the hidden Wo Zhiqi in Lin Yi’s body spoke.

“Kid, don’t go all-out just yet. Naturally, with your strength, dealing with this rabble isn’t an issue, but Xiyue doesn’t have your skills or your robust recovery. To fully unleash her combat ability in this battle, it’s all up to her Martial Soul.”

“Have her hold your hand, empty her mind, and hand over control of her body to me.”

Wo Zhiqi’s words somewhat confused Lin Yi.

But Lin Yi had no reason to doubt Wo Zhiqi.

With the great being’s pride, there’s no possibility of taking over Xiyue’s body.

So Lin Yi passed Wo Zhiqi’s words to Xiyue and led her to act according to Wo Zhiqi’s instructions.

Closing their eyes, they placed their thoughts in the Sea of Divine Consciousness, observing their Inner Court.
