I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 827: Super Bodyguard

Lin Yi was overjoyed, but the high-level officials of Xiang Wuxing were dumbfounded.The Spirit Awakening Stone, for Xiang Wuxing, wasn’t considered a rarity.

Ordinary people of Xiang Wuxing had the means to use this item. To call it rare, it truly wasn’t.

However, Xiang Wuxing lacked skill points. To learn new skills, one could only use the Spirit Awakening Stone to open up an Inner Court and perform skill deduction and learning.

From this perspective, the importance of the Spirit Awakening Stone to Xiang Wuxing is irreplaceable, so much so that describing it as such doesn’t seem excessive; it’s something not fully utilized daily, so nobody pays much attention.

But this time, things were unusual.

Wu Jue Dian’s order to gather all existing Spirit Awakening Stones into one place, even digging up those buried in the mines, and concentrating them all in one location — what was the plan?

To martial artists with background and wealth, it didn’t seem to matter much.

But to those without financial or material means, they couldn’t help but worry, afraid that in the future, their descendants wouldn’t be qualified to use the Spirit Awakening Stones, adding insult to injury.

However, Wu Jue Dian’s orders had to be followed.

"Master Lin Yi, everything has been arranged according to your instructions. From here on, all these Spirit Awakening Stones are yours."

"Well, that, that."

Hei Hou shyly approached Lin Yi, causing Lin Yi to show a slight look of disgust and step aside.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you have something to say, just say it, don’t beat around the bush."

Hei Hou scratched his head and laughed foolishly.

"Master Lin Yi, I’ve completed the task you assigned to me. Can I have a few more words with Boss Wu? Please?"

Summoning Wo Zhiqi wasn’t a big deal for Lin Yi. To trade it for so many Spirit Awakening Stones was a huge gain for Lin Yi, so he nodded directly.

"Hei Hou, you finally managed to seize control of Wu Jue Dian; aren’t you planning to continue being the absolute ruler of Xiang Wuxing?"

Speaking of which, Hei Hou had spent quite some energy on this.

Initially, when Hei Hou chose to enter Wu Jue Dian’s body, Wu Jue Dian was resistant.

But as Hei Hou used his abilities more frequently, Wu Jue Dian realized that his control over his body was no longer absolute.

Initially, it was just a moment or two of losing consciousness.

As Hei Hou’s abilities were used more, and the quality improved, Wu Jue Dian could lose control of his body for more than half a day.

After that, unless in dire straits, Wu Jue Dian wouldn’t willingly hand over control to Hei Hou.

He realized that Hei Hou was a ticking time bomb, ready to seize his body.

The earlier battle with Lin Yi left Wu Jue Dian defeated, battered and exhausted, and in that state, handing control to Hei Hou came at a considerable cost.

Though Lin Yi was driven away, successfully defending Xiang Wuxing, Wu Jue Dian’s soul was thoroughly suppressed, never to see daylight again.

Wu Jue Dian had no choice.

He was a real, flesh-and-blood person who wouldn’t watch his planet head towards ruin, so he had no choice but to let Hei Hou take the wheel.

And as for Hei Hou, before the seizing, he tempted Wu Jue Dian in various ways to use his abilities and hasten the possession process — eventually, he succeeded.

Hei Hou’s goal in taking over was to find a place of his own.

Ever since Wo Zhiqi was defeated, leaving only its soul escaping, Hei Hou lost his direction.

He believed his boss wouldn’t disappear so easily, so he wanted to build his own power, look for information about his boss, and indulge in being a boss himself.

Now, with Wo Zhiqi arriving in spirit form, what reason did Hei Hou have to stay on Xiang Wuxing?

Everything he did was in pursuit of following Wo Zhiqi’s footsteps.

As of now, Wo Zhiqi was just a Soul Body, unable to leave Lin Yi, so naturally, Hei Hou followed closely.

"What’s this Xiang Wuxing nonsense got to do with me? As long as I can follow the boss, I’ll do anything."

Hei Hou’s attitude was clear, and from his words, Lin Yi heard good news:

Lin Yi brother! Listen up!

I, Hei Hou, am now your bodyguard. Wherever you go, I will follow. If Boss Wo Zhiqi doesn’t make a move, I’ll handle it, protecting you from harm.

This isn’t over-interpretation.

Wo Zhiqi hasn’t become Lin Yi’s Martial Soul, so he doesn’t have the right to possess Lin Yi.

Plus, there is still Great Saint within Lin Yi to prevent Wo Zhiqi from causing trouble.

To say he’s a tenant — he truly is, without exaggeration.

Hei Hou’s possession was successful, and now he can make a move without consuming Soul Power, unlike Wo Zhiqi.

He wouldn’t bear to let his boss make a move or watch Lin Yi, his boss’s residence, get into trouble.

So, saying that Lin Yi gained a bodyguard isn’t an overstatement.

Spirit Awakening Stone? That was easily given away.

Lin Yi, using his reputation, called out the Wo Zhiqi within him, fulfilling Hei Hou’s wish.

Then, before Wo Zhiqi disappeared, he presented another idea:

Xiang Wuxing’s Spirit Awakening Stone veins have been fully extracted, and after taking all the Spirit Awakening Stones, it’s a devastating blow for Xiang Wuxing.

Future generations would be unable to obtain the Inner Court and unable to cultivate.

Such a planet couldn’t escape being devoured by a Neighboring Star. Why not have Lin Yi extract all the Source Power from Xiang Wuxing to the fullest?

Hearing this, even Hei Hou couldn’t help but click his tongue.

This kid is ruthless — taking everything without leaving a single chance, a brutal showcase of gluttony and vulture-like behavior.

"What, unwilling?"

Seeing Hei Hou’s conflicted expression, Wo Zhiqi immediately asked.

Willing, willing, of course, willing.

And just like that, after half a month, Lin Yi had cleaned Xiang Wuxing dry.

During this time, Xiyue performed a major task.

That was taking control of the entire Aiven Star.

The strongest figure on the surface of Aiven Star wasn’t much stronger than Yan Qiushui.

Without mastering the planet’s will, he stood almost no chance against Xiyue in battle.

The Jörmungandr Martial Soul not only provided toxic techniques but, with its Power of Reincarnation, neutralized most attacks. Coupled with terrifying recovery effects, Xiyue led troops brought over from Bisite Planet to seize control over Aiven Star.

Why were those subordinates willing to follow Xiyue into battle?

Firstly, it’s Lin Yi’s displayed formidable strength that made them bow down.

Secondly, it was Xiyue’s mastery of poison techniques.

Injected into all subordinates, they had to obediently follow Xiyue’s orders.

The means were indeed despicable, but in such chaotic times, how much value is there in swearing loyalty?
