I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 451 - Definitely the Last Time

Chapter 451 Definitely the Last Time

‘F*ck my life!’

Ye Lingchen almost vomited blood. ‘How is this a skill?!’

To think that he felt lucky; it seemed that it was a mistake.

His only hope at that point was for the skill to be a reliable one.

Finally, under Ye Lingchen’s indignant glare, Drinking was replaced by another skill with a golden flash.

‘Poison Immunity?’

‘OMG!’

‘This is...surprises are everywhere!’

‘It’s Poison Immunity! This time I’m unstoppable!’

‘Could it be that the system awarded me this skill after being grossed out by the pollution earlier today?’

‘Poison Immunity (Basic): Basic ability to fend of poison. Regular poison is of no threat to you now.’

It was actually similar to Water Spirit Constitution. It already went beyond the realms of a skill and was a special type of constitution.

Although the skill description did not specify the limits of the skills, based on the concept that all skills awarded by the system were of top quality, Ye Lingchen believed that this skill would not let him down.

Poison Immunity was definitely a special constitution that everyone dreamt of. To Ye Lingchen, it was considered the best of the bests. There were only so few things that could threaten him. With Poison Immunity, he had greater confidence.

Who knew that drinking would bring such benefits? Ye Lingchen was caught off guard by this sudden surprise.

‘It seems my luck is quite good. Why not...try another? Maybe I’ll really get Qi Refinement.’

Without any second thoughts, Ye Lingchen had already taken action.

Calligraphy, Drawing, Massage, Qi Refinement, Western Medicine, Farming, Deutsch, Russian, Turkish...

The glow flashed across the skills one by one. As the speed of the glow slowed down, Ye Lingchen’s heart rate rose.

‘It’s almost at Qi Refinement. Go on, you can do it!’

However, the glow finally stopped one short from Qi Refinement and ended up on Massage!

‘F*ck! Just a little more!’

Accompanied by a golden flash, the Massage skill finally advanced into a new skill.

Touch of Death!

‘Touch of Death (Basic): Accurately identify each acupoint. Grants the ability to control an opponent’s body via acupoints.’

‘I even got Touch of Death. Does this mean that I can stop someone with one point like Sun Wukong? Does that mean that I can do as I want? How monstrous!’

As expected of the system. It had never let him down, once again bestowing him with another unrivaled skill!

‘After going through two basic skill advancement, why not...try for an intermediate skill advancement?’

‘This is definitely the last one!’

Ye Lingchen’s mind was on fire. He could no longer hold himself back. ‘Let’s do this!’

Dragon-Catcher Hand (Basic), Bird Language (Basic), Diatribe (Basic), Gastronomy (Basic), Arhat’s Fist Force (Basic), Animal Taming (Basic), Heavenly Sound (Basic), Transfiguration (Basic), Aura Divination (Basic), Water Spirit Constitution (Basic), Formation (Basic), Dragon Seeking Formula (Basic), Touch of Death (Basic), Poison Immunity (Basic).

One million popularity points was spent.

Fourteen skills. The yellow glow went back and forth between them, causing Ye Lingchen’s heart to grow more anxious.

Animal Taming!

Along with a golden flash, Animal Taming (Basic) had finally advanced to Animal Taming (Intermediate).

‘Animal Taming (Intermediate): Hurry and train your pets to be spiritual beasts.’

‘It’s this skill!’

‘Hopefully, it’ll be able to surprise me.’

At the same time, a large amount of knowledge regarding animal taming rushed into Ye Lingchen’s brain, making him feel stuffed. Following that, the information was slowly integrated by him.

Along with the integration, Ye Lingchen was feeling more shocked than before.

Animal Taming at the basic level allowed his pets to grow stronger. Take Little Green and Little Grey for example. They were a few sizes bigger than a police dog. Furthermore, they were able to learn some basics of martial arts along with him. However, Animal Taming at the intermediate level was a lot more impressive.

Just as the description stated, it could turn his pets into spiritual beasts!

What was a spiritual beast? The giant tortoise and giant python were examples of spiritual beasts! It was because of them that the spiritual energy gathered around the pool.

That was because spiritual beasts could refine Qi!

It also meant that Ye Lingchen had ways to train Little Green and Little Grey to feel the spiritual energy in the air, absorbing it into their bodies to improve themselves!

Of course, absorbing spiritual energy would only subtly change the body and slowly raise their bodily functions. It would not have any major effects in the short term. However, anything could develop to a scary extent given time and accumulation. As they absorb more spiritual energy over time and let it improve their physical body, they would only grow more terrifying as time passed!

The giant python and Old Tortoise were prime examples of that!

The reason Ye Lingchen favored Qi Refinement was due to its potential! If one considered its effects in the long run, Qi Refinement was definitely the most amazing skill he had. He had personally experienced the benefits of Qi Refinement!

Two basic skill advancement and one intermediate skill advancement. He had spent 1.2 million popularity points in total, leaving him with 3.3 million popularity points.

‘With that much left, why not...one more try?’

‘There will be no more after this. I need to save some for the next lucky draw right?’

With a deduction of 1 million popularity points, the yellow glow started going once again.

Arhat’s Fist Force (Basic)!

Seeing the skill it stopped on, Ye Lingchen took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face.

There were no doubts about the strength of that skill. He wondered what changes would the intermediate level bring. Ye Lingchen was growing impatient.

After the golden flash, the skill advancement was complete!

‘Arhat’s Fist Force (Intermediate): The strong winds of one’s fist can resonate with spiritual energy. Nothing that can’t be solved by a single punch. If there is, two punches, three punches...there is no limit.’

As Ye Lingchen received the skill, his eyes glowed, astonished by the amazing strength of Arhat’s Fist Force!

Compared to the skill at the basic level, the intermediate level went through another qualitative change!

Although Arhat’s Fist Force was strong at the basic level, it required him to exhaust the inner force stored in his fists. Despite each fist having impressive strength, it required him to charge its power. Furthermore, it would be exhausting as the fight drags out.

However, reaching the intermediate level, it was totally different. The winds from the fist were able to resonate and guide the spiritual energy in the air. As everyone knows, with sufficient strength, one could break through the sound barrier. However, Ye Lingchen was not only able to break the sound barrier, he was able to shape the air and launch it!

As long as he was willing, his fist could compress air and shoot it like a bullet. For example, when faced with the giant python, the current Ye Lingchen can rain down fist after fist on it from afar, striking at the giant python like a machine gun.

Although those fists were incomparable to a charged up fist, its advantages were clear. At least to an average person, that was definitely similar to a hack!

Finally, Ye Lingchen looked at the remaining 2.3 million popularity points and stopped there. He got out of the system menu fully satisfied.

Due to his excellent mood, he was humming a tune as he went downstairs to prepare dinner...
