I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 99 - 89: The Three Great Talents

First, spending 100 All-Purpose Essence points to increase the Agility attribute to 25.0, suddenly the Agility attribute has turned into the familiar green.

Qin Yuesheng quickly clicked down, and suddenly three brand new talents popped out.

① (White) Swift Steps (Speed +5%)

② (Green) Double Leap (Can perform another jump mid-air)

③ (Green) Charge Sprint (Speed increases by 100% for a short time, but causes 3600s of exhaustion after 60s)

"Rare indeed, this time there are actually two green talents showing up. It seems these good talents appear randomly, somewhat like a luck-based game draw, wonder if there are even higher-level talents." Qin Yuesheng thought to himself.

Among the three talents, the white talent is not worth considering, with such a minimal bonus, it’s surely the weakest.

Between the two green talents, Double Leap should be passive, somewhat like the double jump in games, while Charge Sprint seems more like an active skill. Although the exhaustion aftereffect lasts quite long, up to 60 minutes, it is undoubtedly a highly practical escape skill.

Who doesn’t need a reliable escape skill when traveling outside?

With a 100% speed boost for 60s, combined with Qin Yuesheng’s current Lightweight Skill that allows him to travel twenty feet per step, he could circle half of Cyan Yang City within a minute.

Without hesitation, selecting ’Charge Sprint,’ Qin Yuesheng gained this talent.

Suddenly, he had a newfound memory of using Charge Sprint.

This is a peculiar Heart Method; once activated, it unleashes the potential of the whole body, resulting in a short-term explosive speed increase.

In Qin Yuesheng’s words, it is akin to temporarily unlocking the human genetic lock, making a fierce impact.

Then spending 200 All-Purpose Essence points to raise both the Spirit and Charisma attributes to 25.0, suddenly dual talents unlocked.

① (White) Charm Resistance (Confusion resistance increased)

② (White) Discernment (Judgment ability enhanced)

③ (Green) Forced Calmness (Restores rationality when emotionally unstable or lost in madness)

With greens and whites present, the choice is obvious, although Qin Yuesheng felt rational usually, he still opted for the green talent.

① (White) Eloquent (Speech +10, possessing good eloquence makes you more charismatic)

② (Blue) Leader’s Light (Charisma +20, attracting countless followers willing to become your companions or subordinates)

③ (Purple) Dream Visitor (They seem to have seen you in dreams before, though long forgotten, a subtle affection has formed, female affection +50)

"Wow!"

Looking at these Charisma talents, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but express his shock.

What is this?

Did I finally have a chance at luck?

Not only did a previously unseen blue talent appear, but also a distinctly higher-level purple talent.

Purple talent!!!

If it were green and white talents, Qin Yuesheng’s choice would be easy, but with a purple and blue talent before him, he was uncertain which to pick.

The Leader’s Light adds to charisma, quite useful, seeming very practical.

Dream Visitor only works on women, but just by the name of this purple talent, the effect couldn’t be lackluster, right?

Hesitating deeply, Qin Yuesheng fell into considerable indecision.

The symptom of choice anxiety manifested deeply within him.

Ultimately, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t decide which talent to choose, opting to put it aside, deciding to return to it later.

With 1700 All-Purpose Essence points remaining, Qin Yuesheng spent 1500 All-Purpose Essence points to max out the first layer of the Profound Celestial Scripture, allowing him to better absorb Spiritual Qi from the environment, converting it to Inner Strength during training.

The more Inner Strength accumulated, the easier it becomes to break through the Youjing Acupoint, reaching the next realm.

Qin Yuesheng could have invested all 1700 All-Purpose Essence points into the attributes, but he chose not to do so immediately.

Strength determines physical power, Physique determines physical durability and resistance, Agility determines speed and reaction capability; all important.

However, the path of the ten major acupoints is a ladder to inexplicable realms.

Taking this path grants significant strength enhancement, and touching the realm beyond Inner Power, entering the world of Grandmasters.

This cannot be achieved by simply adding to the five attribute points.

Thus, prioritizing breaking through the ten major acupoints, supplementing with five attributes, is Qin Yuesheng’s current plan.

Spend the remaining 200 All-Purpose Essence points on Agility, boosting Agility from 25.0→45.0.

This nearly doubled the enhancement.

Back at the Qin Mansion, with Qin Feng and Duan Hongjin not present, the mansion was under Qin Yuesheng’s control, none able to manage him.

Taking up the arm armor previously commissioned from Cao Zhengchun, Qin Yuesheng packed up, greeted Housekeeper Qin, stating his intention to venture out for a few days, leaving the Qin Mansion alone.

...

Jingci Town is situated on the Jingli Dao, over twenty miles west of the mysterious Water Villa location.

Qin Yuesheng chose not to take a carriage; with his Inner Power Realm strength, sometimes using his Lightweight Skill was more convenient.

Especially given Qin Yuesheng’s recent substantial power advancement, naturally he wished to enjoy it thoroughly.

Bang!

Qin Yuesheng took a step forward, borrowing the Spiritual Swallow Body Skill and Inner Strength for aid, and in the blink of an eye, he dashed over fifty feet away.

If he were to use a power-charged dash, leaping a hundred feet in one step would be no problem at all.

At full speed for 60 seconds, who knows how far Qin Yuesheng would have run.

He sprinted wildly along the capital path, through the forest beside it, and stopped when he found a secluded place.

"The Soul-Shattering Roar is now at a perfect level, though I’ve never truly tested its power, I’ll use it now."

Clearing his throat, Qin Yuesheng let out a loud roar.

The passive effect of the Vajra Body, sound impact +20%.

Along with many passive bonuses of the Soul-Shattering Roar.

The power of Qin Yuesheng’s roar was naturally extraordinary.

Like a tiger roaring through the forest, dominating the hills.

Like a dragon roaring across the sea, shaking the rivers.

A blurred blue figure appeared behind Qin Yuesheng, with a mouth as big as a jar, intimidating without anger; when Qin Yuesheng unleashed the Soul-Shattering Roar, it silently opened its mouth wide.

Circles of sound wave ripples, so clear they were invisible to the naked eye, spread out from its mouth.

Trees around them fell in the opposite direction, leaves dropped continually, and bark peeled off.

This is the true power of the Soul-Shattering Roar blessed by the Angry Roar Celestial Venerable.

As Qin Yuesheng’s voice stopped, his echo lingered around for three blinks before slowly fading away.

If it were in a valley where echoes could rebound, who knows how long it would last.

Seeing the devastation within fifty steps around him, Qin Yuesheng nodded in satisfaction.

Although the Soul-Shattering Roar is for dealing with ghosts and monsters, mastering it to this level, even against a martial artist, it could be used like the Lion’s Roar Skill.

Since he’d tested all his techniques, Qin Yuesheng had gained a certain understanding, so he no longer lingered and ran straight out of the forest, heading west along the capital path.

A squirrel emerged from its hidden tree hole, only taking a few steps before stiffly falling from the tree, bleeding from all seven orifices, dead beyond saving.

...

Jingci Town is a well-known small town in the Yangzhou Prefecture, although administratively managed by Cyan Yang City, its fame is no less than Cyan Yang City.

Jingci Town is known for producing porcelain, especially the famous Cloud Porcelain of Jiangnan, loved by many dignitaries, nobles, and businessmen.

The town is constructed with consistent black-tiled, white-walled buildings, a gentle and clear small river flows through the town, connecting north and south, resembling a thread in the middle of a porcelain plate.

Little bridges, flowing waters, and a misty rain; a typical Jiangnan water town.

When Qin Yuesheng arrived at Jingci Town, a light drizzle started to fall from the sky. The rain wasn’t heavy, but it made people feel sticky as it soaked them, clothes clinging tightly to their backs.

Qin Yuesheng hurriedly ran into town, finding shelter under an eave.

Rainwater traced an arc from the beast-head eavespout, splashing onto the ground.

The streets of Jingci Town are paved with blue stone slabs, and due to the rain, water accumulated heavily in the gaps between each slab.

As pedestrians passed, droplets scattered, ripples abounded.

"Sir, why don’t you come in and have a seat? Perhaps try a bowl of Yangchun noodles to warm up."

A shop boy with a white towel over his shoulder walked out from the shop, saying.

Qin Yuesheng looked up, only to realize he was sheltering from the rain outside an inn.

Xinghua Inn.

"Sure, also reserve your best room for me, I’ll stay here tonight." Qin Yuesheng walked into the inn, reaching into his pocket for a purse, taking out a few pieces of silver to hand to the shop boy.

"All right, sir, please have a seat here."

Finding an empty table, truthfully, the inn’s hall was empty, with vacant seats everywhere.

Qin Yuesheng stopped the shop boy as he was about to leave and asked, "Is your shopkeeper here? Have him come out and chat with me."

"Yes, yes, let me call him for you." The shop boy nodded in response.

Soon, a man with a clear shopkeeper demeanor appeared through the kitchen curtain.

He walked over to Qin Yuesheng’s table with a smile, "What can I do for you, sir?"

"I’d like to ask you about something." Qin Yuesheng replied.

"Then please feel free to ask, whatever I know, I’ll tell you without reservation."

Qin Yuesheng asked, "Has anyone gone missing in Jingci Town recently?"

"Are you interested in this, sir?" the shopkeeper sat down on the long wooden bench opposite Qin Yuesheng.

"Yes."

"Then you’ve asked the right person; everyone knows I’m Bao Sanxiao, the town’s busybody. No matter the big or small matters or strange stories in Jingci Town, I can investigate thoroughly, leaving no detail behind."
