Novel Bin Chapter 92 - Arrogance (I)
Body of Fire: Innate affinity with fire. Can transform the body into endless flames that reach high up into the sky.
Seeing this, he gasped. “Transforming into flames? Elemental transformation?
Isn’t this the special ability from consuming a certain type of fruit that was described in an anime from my previous world?”
Pure Body: The body can purify all kinds of foreign energy. No impurities will remain in the body.
“This physique seems to be of great help to one’s cultivation. In terms of defense, even if the enemy injects internal force into one’s body, it can be purified immediately.” Chen Yiming felt that it was not a bad ability and could be considered as one of the candidates.
Five Elements Body: Cultivate energy of the five elements at the same time, complementing each other endlessly.
Energy Eye: Can see all energy fluctuations. No one can hide from these eyes.
Eagle Eye: Greatly increases one’s dynamic vision. No matter how fast one’s movements are, they cannot escape the gaze of these eyes.
Psychokinesis: Giving spiritual power a physical form to interfere with the real world. Weapons can be controlled and made to fly into the sky and burrow into the ground.
“Will the energy eyes and eagle eyes cause the eyes to undergo some sort of transformation?
With spiritual power combined with sword technique, can someone’s head be chopped off from thousands of kilometers away like in the legends from my previous world?” Chen Yiming wondered.
Chen Yiming thought about it and made a comparison. First, he eliminated the talents with obvious characteristics.
For example, he did not want to directly transform into flames and burn his enemies to death when fighting them.
He had been practicing martial arts for almost a year, but he had never heard of anyone with such a special ability. He did not want others to notice that he was different from ordinary people.
Then, he eliminated those with overly-specialized functions./
For example, the Eagle Eye could only improve one’s dynamic vision, and was not of any help to one’s cultivation.
He thought about how his cultivation level would increase in the future. If he faced attacks head-on when fighting with others, his attacks could easily cause the ground to crack and the rivers to be cut off.
At that time, the boost to combat power from enhanced dynamic vision was very limited.
Finally, he eliminated those talents that looked like they had low potential for further development.
For example, the main use of psychokinesis was to interfere with reality and control weapons from a distance.
In his previous life, he had read novels for more than ten years. Psychokinesis abilities had always shone brightly in the early stages. After all, in the early stages, most people engaged in close combat, and users of psychokinesis could attack from a distance.
However, in the later stages, psychokinesis was basically rendered useless.
After these rounds of elimination, Chen Yiming narrowed down the number of talents he was considering to less than ten.
He spent another hour or so repeatedly comparing the remaining talents and finally deciding on one.
Undying Body: Unlimited stamina, inexhaustible energy, reborn from blood.
Chen Yiming nodded and commented, “This body talent is not bad. It perfectly meets the requirements for me to develop quietly and increase my strength steadily.”
This was how he understood it.
Unlimited stamina: When escaping, one’s stamina would recover much faster than the enemy’s. One would not end up in a situation where they had to watch helplessly as the enemy caught up to them because their stamina was depleted.
Inexhaustible energy: In battle, since internal force uses up one’s energy, if one could replenish their energy faster than the enemy, they would not lose in a battle of attrition.
Reborn from blood: The injuries one received would automatically heal. One would not need to be afraid of receiving injuries to land an attack on the enemy.
Therefore, he stopped hesitating and chose to add points to the Indestructible Body talent.
Immediately, a box appeared in the lower right corner of the Undying Body talent, indicating whether to spend 30 Skill Points.
“The Skill Points needed to upgrade a second talent are actually ten times that of the first talent?
Then, would the Skill Points required for the third talent be ten times that of the second talent?
Fortunately, I did not act rashly. Instead, I chose the Undying Body, a talent that would enhance the body in all aspects.
From this, it can be deduced that three talents are about the limit of this system. In that case, I have to be even more cautious when choosing the third talent,” Chen Yiming said in surprise.
After thinking it through, he decided to confirm his choice.
Shortly after, the talent panel shook and automatically refreshed.
Chen Yiming
Talent: Sword Technique-Level 2; Undying Body-Level 1
Level: Warrior realm
Physique: Basic Undying Sword Body
Skill points: 10
At the same time, an indescribable source of power developed in his body.
Chen Yiming closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in his body.
His muscles were filled with an endless stream of power, making his body, which was sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed, feel extremely uncomfortable. Signals kept coming from his body, asking him to release this power.
In addition, his internal force also started to become restless. Without him taking the initiative to release it, it appeared and swam around his body excitedly, as if it had obtained a life of its own.
Finally, the small figure in his mind, which was sitting cross-legged at the same time as him, emitted a dazzling golden light, like a glowing Buddha statue.
A few minutes later, “There’s no reference for how much it has improved. I can only vaguely sense that it has undergone a qualitative change. However, if I were to meet the mother beast now, she would be the one to give up first,” Chen Yiming opened his eyes and muttered.
Next, he got up and jumped down, landing in an open space in the canyon.
After a simple test, there were several new changes in his body.
With every punch and kick, he cracked open a huge hole in the mountain. The tremors spread far and wide through the ground.
Not long after the tremors subsided, the sound of lightning rang out again, echoing throughout the canyon.
All the mutant beasts in the canyon hid in their caves, their bodies trembling.
They did not expect that such a fierce human would suddenly barge into the canyon where they lived. Just by looking at him from afar, they felt an endless amount of fear.
Chen Yiming had just returned home when he received a call from Wei Chaoyuan.
On the phone, Chen Yiming found out that the ‘Yiming Detective Agency’ was in trouble. Hence, he went out again and headed to the company.
The ‘Yiming Detective Agency’ was located on the busiest street in the city center. They had rented a shop of nearly 300 square meters for their business.
Chen Yiming rushed to the entrance of the shop and noticed that something was amiss.
At this moment, people were coming and going on the busy street. Some shops were even playing music to liven up the atmosphere, but his sense had been sharpened by his cultivation beyond the level that a normal person could imagine.
Even with the cover of the crowd, the prying gazes could not be completely hidden.
“Working is indeed different from starting a business. Someone is already looking for trouble with me right from the start,” Chen Yiming muttered to himself. He didn’t stop walking and pushed open the glass door to enter the shop.
The core disciples of the martial arts school were still people who worked for the school. Even the head of the school was under the control of a stronger faction in the provincial city.
Now that Chen Yiming had established a new company and established a faction that belonged solely to him, it immediately caused a backlash.
?
“You’re finally here.” Wei Chaoyuan immediately stood up from the sofa when he saw who it was.
Chen Yiming walked over and asked, “There are people monitoring us from the surroundings. What happened?”
“We had just hired two detectives at the level of the first transformation. On the first day of work, they went to the trading center in the west of the city to investigate the reason for the sudden rise in prices the past few days.
On the way back, they were beaten up in an alley. As soon as they returned to the company, they immediately wrote their resignation letters,” Wei Chaoyuan replied.
