I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 48 Quota

Chen Yiming skimmed through the swordsmanship introduction booklets on the bookshelf.

There were all kinds of sword techniques.

Strength, assassination, defense, speed…

Even though they were not high level swordsmanship techniques and were only suitable for the disciple realm, this was enough for him.

Chen Yiming turned back to the room next door.

Mu Yuerong had just finished reading a senior’s notebook and was feeling a little tired.

She was the only one in the room, so she stretched lazily, revealing her beautiful curves.

Chen Yiming happened to see this as he entered the room.

“Hello, Senior Sister. I didn’t do it on purpose,” Chen Yiming said awkwardly.

“I remember now, you’re a new junior brother. I’m your fifth senior sister,” Mu Yuerong said calmly, her eyes expressionless.

“Senior Sister, I’ll go read up on some information,” Chen Yiming said softly.

Without waiting for Mu Yuerong to reply, he turned his back on her and randomly picked out a notebook from the bookshelf.

Mu Yuerong glared at Chen Yiming, who had his back facing her. He pretended to flip through the notes in his hand for a few minutes.

The notebook he picked out was on a senior’s experience with food combinations to meet his nutritional needs during cultivation. It was not something he was interested in.

Chen Yiming realized that his senior sister had also found a new notebook to read. Therefore, he put down the notebook and searched for the book that Senior Brother Wang had mentioned about common knowledge of martial arts.

The library management was very thoughtful.

Many of the notes did not even have a cover, but a bookmark was stuck on the first page with a brief summary of the content.

Chen Yiming quickly found what he was looking for.

This was a book that introduced the general situation of East Lake City. It detailed the distribution of power among the martial arts factions, the situation of various businesses, the living areas of mutant beasts, and the strength of the human forces.

An hour passed quickly.

Chen Yiming’s attention was completely focused on absorbing the knowledge. After flipping to the last page, he suddenly remembered that Senior Brother Wang was still waiting for him.

Thinking that there would be many more chances to come again in the future, he resisted the urge to continue reading and left quickly.

Hurrying from the third floor to the main hall, Chen Yiming saw Senior Brother Wang sitting on the sofa and chatting with someone.

Wang Bowen waved his hand and called out, “Junior Brother Chen, over here.”

Chen Yiming walked over and observed the man who was chatting with Senior Brother Wang.

The man was more than 1.9 meters tall and was dressed in tight-fitting clothes. His figure was well-proportioned, and he matched the style of the Mantis Snake Sword School very well.

“I am your third senior brother, Teng Zhihui,” Teng Zhihui introduced himself.

“I am Chen Yiming. Please take care of me in the future,” Chen Yiming replied.

The three of them sat down on the sofa.

“Junior Brother Chen, your Third Senior Brother isn’t a brute like me. You should have a lot in common. You can seek his guidance in the future,” Wang Bowen said.

“No, Junior Brother Chen, don’t listen to your Second Senior Brother’s nonsense. We should all learn and improve together,” Teng Zhihui said humbly.

“Third Junior Brother, I’m not kidding. Junior Brother Chen’s talent in swordsmanship is extraordinary. The two of you will definitely have good chemistry,” Wang Bowen said with a smile.

“I see.” Teng Zhihui glanced at Chen Yiming again.

Wang Bowen chatted briefly with Teng Zhihui before leaving with Chen Yiming. On the way to the supplies department, Wang Bowen emphasized, “Junior Brother Chen, Teng Zhihui is one of the core disciples, and is one of us. You can ask him for guidance without any worries.”

“I understand. What else should I take note of?” Chen Yiming asked.

“It’s not that serious. On the surface, we’re all fellow disciples. It’s only because of internal competition for resources that we automatically split into different factions,” Wang Bowen explained.

Chen Yiming nodded.

With a few steps, Wang Bowen led Chen Yiming to the supplies area.

Unlike the place where he had collected the training robes when he had just joined, the venue for collecting the dried mutant beast meat was at the back of the main hall.

“This is Elder Yin. He is in charge of the monthly distribution of the eggs of the gold-eating bug,” Wang Bowen introduced.

The eggs of the gold-eating bug were a monthly fixed benefit for core disciples from the Mantis Snake Sword School. Eating them in the long term would improve one’s physique and increase the speed at which one’s body could instantly unleash their power.

“A new core disciple?” Elder Yin asked.

“Elder Yin, I’m still far from a core disciple. I’m only a core disciple candidate now,” Chen Yiming quickly explained.

“It’s not that different. Remember to come every month to collect your share. In addition, you can spend money to buy the dried mutant beast meat from here,” Elder Yin said.

With that, Elder Yin turned around and entered the room. He quickly came out again.

Chen Yiming received a plastic box containing the eggs from Elder Yin.

“These are worm eggs?” Chen Yiming opened the box and took a look.

The eggs were the size of rice grains and were translucent, with golden flecks on the surface. There were less than a hundred eggs in total.

“Remember, take one in the morning, afternoon, and evening before your training,” Elder Yin instructed.

Chen Yiming nodded in gratitude.

After receiving their share for the month, the two of them did not stay for long.

After leaving the headquarters of the martial arts school, the two of them rushed back to the eastern branch.

Suddenly, it started to drizzle.

Chen Yiming remained silent and fell into deep thought about his plan to improve all aspects of his swordsmanship.

As he became a core disciple candidate, he obtained the right to enter the library in the headquarters to buy and learn martial arts techniques. However, Senior Brother Wang had mentioned that one would usually only choose one or two additional martial arts techniques to learn.

Even if he earned enough money to buy and learn the techniques, he would reach the limit of learning two to three sword techniques from the school. Any more than that would make him stand out too much.

In addition, he was pretending that he was still at the stage of building up his foundation to break through to the third transformation.

If he did not focus on practicing the Mantis Snake Sword Technique and instead went to learn other sword techniques, others would find it very strange.

If he wanted to perfect his plan, he would have to rely on himself to resolve it privately.

In order not to have any repetition, it was best for him to learn a few different types of sword techniques outside the school before purchasing the ones he couldn’t find from the school.

Just as he was thinking about it, a fleet of vehicles suddenly drove past them. The fleet was made up of more than ten off-road vehicles. The side of the vehicles was painted with the symbol of a mountain. This was the symbol of the Yue clan, one of the seven main martial arts clans in East Lake City.

Chen Yiming instinctively stopped and looked at the vehicles driving into the distance.

Wang Bowen realized that Chen Yiming had suddenly disappeared from his side and quickly turned back.

“Those are martial arts clan members who were recruited to the front line,” Wang Bowen explained.

“Conscription?”

“That’s right. The war at the front line is tense. The military has been putting pressure on the martial arts clans in the city recently, forcing them to send people to the front line,” Wang Bowen continued.

“What about the martial arts schools?” Chen Yiming asked.

“It’s the same. The head isn’t around, so there’s a high chance that Lin Yixuan will represent the Mantis Snake Sword School and go to the front line. At most, he will choose one or two core disciples to go with him.”

Chen Yiming withdrew his gaze, his expression grave. “What are you worried about? If he has to choose, he would pick someone who has undergone at least three transformations,” Wang Bowen said with a smile. “Nothing much. I was just imagining what the battlefield would be like,” Chen Yiming replied.

“Actually, it’s not that complicated. The military will assign tasks to various factions to get them involved. Each faction only needs to complete the corresponding tasks every month,” Wang Bowen explained.
