My Talent Panel Can Add Points

Chapter 233: Chapter 141: Even Divinities Bleed_4

As long as the Basic Attributes are raised to the same level as [Hephaestus], Ye Mingqiu is confident he can suppress this guy in close combat; after all, his top-tier Combat Instinct is not to be underestimated.

Secondly, [Hephaestus] possesses a wide variety of skillsets: charge, large-scale AoE, high-damage melee assassinations... a full range of Skills to deal with various complex environments. Currently, no effective countermeasures have been found.

Conclusion: Temporarily unbeatable, needs more stats and mechanics stacked.

”Phew~”

Ye Mingqiu leaned back, looking up at the ceiling of the training room. Feeling complicated, he took a moment to calm down. Then, he stood up and stretched, muttering to himself: ”Alright, let’s grab some food and change the mood.”

He turned his head and looked at Tang Ruobing, who was still reading a book, and asked, ”Wanna grab a meal together?”

”No, just bring me a Jianbing Guozi.”

Tang Ruobing was engrossed in a notebook filled with writing he couldn’t understand.

However, since Ye Mingqiu had spent a long time studying Magic content, even if he couldn’t read it, he could roughly tell that it was related to Demons, likely connected to deciphering [Demon Secret Scripture].

”Alright, take care and don’t overwork yourself.”

”Got it.”

....

The image at Chenghai Second Middle School has been updated. Now, the projection shows Ye Mingqiu’s appearance after obtaining [Holy Evolution]. While similar to his former appearance, there are subtle differences—his overall looks have improved significantly, and his skin has become fairer and more elegant.

More importantly, his Level has gone from Level 2 to Level 3, an astonishing speed of improvement that leaves many Ordinary students in disbelief.

Under normal circumstances, the Support System relies heavily on teammates to level up, but Ye Mingqiu is different. His leveling speed is faster than a Mage’s, so fast it’s like he’s riding a rocket.

Ye Mingqiu walked straight to the cafeteria, soaked in the gazes of countless peers, while reminiscing about the various moves of [Hephaestus], simulating response strategies in his mind.

Soon after, a familiar figure quickly approached from behind, saying, ”Good noon.”

”Hmm?”

Ye Mingqiu turned his head to find that it was Feng Xinglie, previously ranked first in the Magic System. He asked puzzledly, ”Do you need something from me?”

”There’s something related to you. Let’s talk over there where there are fewer people.” Feng Xinglie said.

”Alright.”

Ye Mingqiu agreed directly, curious about what Feng Xinglie had to say.

....

”Sigh, recently on the Magic System side, people have been spreading rumors about you and Tang Ruobing’s relationship. I felt I should tell you,” Feng Xinglie said.

”What kind of rumors?”

”They say you’ve gotten stronger because of a woman—that Tang Ruobing was the one who gave you early access to items, Attribute amplification tools, gear, and even bought you a [Scholarly] Skill Book with huge funds.”

Feng Xinglie sighed, saying, ”It’s just that those people have limited insight, only believing what they think they know. Those who truly understand wouldn’t believe it. Do you want to address it?”

”....”

Ye Mingqiu fell silent for a moment, realizing that those rumors... aren’t entirely untrue.

”Don’t overthink it. Those guys are just not qualified to access those secrets and are jealous of you for studying with our top beauty in the Magic System every day. They’re just a bunch of clowns.”

Feng Xinglie said with a casual laugh.

He’s seemingly scolding them, but in fact, he’s saving them. If they keep it up, they might get secretly resolved. Bringing up the issue and addressing it now could result in a better outcome for them.

So, Feng Xinglie leaned in and quietly asked, ”If you find it inconvenient, I can help you handle it a bit.”

”Oh, if you help me, is it worth it?”

Ye Mingqiu suddenly asked.

”....”

Feng Xinglie fell into a brief silence, thinking: You’re still holding a grudge from what I casually said during a duel with Tang Ruobing.

But since he’s bringing it up, it means it can be resolved without major issues.

He gently cleared his throat and asked, ”So, how do you want to resolve it?”

”Let’s make a bet. If you can deal 1 point of damage to me within three minutes, you win, and I won’t mind anymore. If you can’t deal any damage to me within three minutes, I win, and I get to punch you once, then we’re even.” Ye Mingqiu said.

”Hmm?”

Feng Xinglie immediately sensed something was off. Ye Mingqiu is Level 3, he is Level 8—under normal circumstances, there’s no way he wouldn’t deal at least 1 point of damage to Ye Mingqiu within three minutes. Either Ye Mingqiu wants to forgive him directly, or he has a special item.

Based on his understanding of Ye Mingqiu, he suspects this guy likely possesses some extremely powerful pay-to-win items, which is why he proposed this duel. By entering the duel, he’s certain to lose.

So... should he accept?

If he accepts, it’ll be under the premise of losing. The result of losing must be acceptable. Ye Mingqiu is a Level 3 Support System; even with strong Physical System accessories, he shouldn’t deal too much damage to me.

In that case, taking a punch from him should not be a problem.

”I accept.”

Feng Xinglie smiled and continued, ”But you mustn’t go too hard when the time comes.”

”Alright.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded in response. After all, Feng Xinglie had just made a casual comment before, and there was no deep grudge with him, so they could let it slide.
