I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 648: Legacy

In the underground training space of the Tianjian Bureau in Suzhou City, two young girls flickered through the air like streaks of flowing light.

Wang Lan stood outside the arena, arms folded, closely observing every detail of their exchange without missing a beat.

Song Jia’s fighting style leaned towards being nimble and ever-changing. Her Yin and Yang innate ability evolved the Five Elements, enabling Song Jia to use Star Martial Skills of any attribute. Moreover, her Yin and Yang innate ability could generate all sorts of talents unimaginable to the common person. After the meticulous instruction of a Wudang expert, Song Jia had gained a profound understanding of Yin and Yang, the Dao, and the mutual generation and overcoming among the Five Elements.

If Song Jia was about cleverness, then Hu Feifei was about using brute force to shatter all methods—this was the paradox of being a generalist versus a specialist. If Song Jia was ever-changing, with her Yin and Yang innate ability at the core generating myriad techniques, Hu Feifei was pushing the strength of her Star Power and innate abilities to their extremes.

In the past, Wang Lan regarded Hu Feifei’s talent as the pinnacle amongst prodigies. Her talent wasn’t just simple skeletal manipulation; more terrifying was the extraordinary growth of her Star Power with each rise in stage.

Additionally, Hu Feifei possessed an extremely high Star Power control ability and enough willpower. An extraordinary Star Power was a talent, Star Power control was a skill, and willpower determined the heights a person could reach.

Even though the Immortal Cloud Mysterious Green Record had become widespread, as a compulsory Cultivation Technique for new Star Martial Warriors, reaching the Galaxy Stage at the tender age of fifteen was certainly as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. And this was under the circumstances where Hu Feifei had suppressed her breakthrough to solidify her foundation.

At the start, Wang Lan was more inclined towards Hu Feifei winning the duel, and winning with an overwhelming advantage at that. After all, Hu Feifei’s awakening had been nearly two years earlier than Song Jia’s.

Given Hu Feifei’s high talent and her intense dedication to training, it seemed impossible for Song Jia, despite her immense gifts, to catch up with Hu Feifei’s four years of hard work within just two years.

But now, Wang Lan’s opinion wavered. Song Jia hadn’t merely surprised or shocked him; she had given him a genuine fright.

Song Jia had proven with facts that, with the accumulation of resources, a genius truly could create miracles at will.

She had achieved a breakthrough to the Galaxy Stage within just two years; the only other person to have done this was Wang Lan. Of course, Song Jia’s generation was completely different from Wang Lan’s. Song Jia had the Immortal Cloud Mysterious Green Record and the dual sources of Star Power from Soul Beads.

It was assumed that such rapid advancement would lead to impure Star Power and issues with its control. However, in reality, there was not a single problem with Song Jia’s control of her Star Power.

Although her Star Power reserves were not as immense as Hu Feifei’s, her control over it was in no way inferior. Even though Hu Feifei overpowered her in close combat, Song Jia possessed a variety of bizarre and versatile Star Martial Skills, along with her Unpredictable invisibility.

Even in a head-to-head clash with Hu Feifei, Song Jia still had the innate ability of Massive Strength. In the Galaxy Stage, a single punch from Song Jia could explode a three-meter-wide pit in the ground; toppling a building with one punch was not a joke.

"Earth Skill, Earth River Carriage—" Suddenly, Song Jia formed hand seals, turning a wall of earth into a serpent that charged towards Hu Feifei on the opposite side.

"CRACKLE—" Hu Feifei brought her fingers together, lightning gathering between her palms, the dense lightning forming a straight Thunder Knife.

"BOOM—"

The Earth River Carriage and the Thunder Knife fiercely collided; the earthen dragon was cleaved in two by the Thunder Knife, and Hu Feifei, running swiftly, charged towards Song Jia.

Song Jia’s hands, which were forming the hand seals, trembled violently, and her gaze grew increasingly serious.

"These are two remarkable children..." Zhang Yeqiu, dressed smartly in a martial outfit, said lightly with folded arms. "Even Xiaoxue and I, working together, are not sure we could defeat them, and they are only fifteen years old.

"When I was in Modu City, I suspected that the Star Martial Warriors from Jade Country had begun their decline. But coming back to Suzhou City, I realized that these past three years were just a brief pause. The younger generation of Suzhou City surpassed my own by several steps.

"This new batch of high school students includes four at the Galaxy Stage. In a grade of twelve classes totaling just under five hundred students, over ten percent are at the Star Cloud Stage or above. Previously, managing to break through to the Star Cloud Stage before graduating high school was considered a genius among geniuses."

"The new waves drive the old, and the old waves expire on the shore. That’s how our country becomes stronger and stronger."

"Who do you think will win between the two of them?" Lige asked curiously.

"It’s hard to separate their brilliance. If it’s a competition, Jiajia can win. But if it’s a matter of life and death, Feifei is definitely the one who would survive."

"Stop—"

After half an hour of intense fighting, Wang Lan called a halt to the duel. If they continued, both would end up injured.

"Feifei, you are so amazing! Ever since I comprehended the transformations of Yin and Yang, I have been unbeatable among my peers in the western protected area. None of those kids could stand against me. I exerted all my strength this time and still couldn’t take you down."

"Jiajia is truly a genius, being able to fight me to a standstill in just two years. It took me four years to get to this point. Lan, what should my next direction in cultivation be?" Hu Feifei quickly hopped and skipped over to Wang Lan’s side.

"Hmph! So quick to choose romance over friendship," Song Jia pouted, her hands clasped behind her head, and sauntered towards Wang Lan.

"Your foundations are already solid. What you must improve now is your lethality—in other words, the ability to kill with one strike. Lethality is what truly sets Star Martial Warriors apart.

"Let me give you an example. Take Star Martial Warriors of the Star Sea Stage. Xinyu can instantly slay ten Star Martial Warriors of the same stage. Others in the Star Sea Stage, however, might have to rely on more solid basic skills and slightly more clever strategies to defeat an opponent after a tough fight. The Star Martial ranks are the same, but the strengths are worlds apart.

"Who doesn’t know that? But why won’t you let me practice higher-level Star Martial Skills?" Song Jia asked, unconvinced.

"Advancing ahead of your peers relies on lethality as well as combat strength. But to lead in history and the era, you need a solid foundation. Star Martial ranks might not seem important when dealing with geniuses, but in the end, they prove to be more important than anything. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"As long as your potential isn’t exhausted, as long as you can keep improving, your strength will never have peaked. A Star Sea Stage Star Martial Warrior, no matter how talented, cannot be the opponent of a Star Soul Stage Star Martial Warrior. And how far you can go with your Star Martial rank is predetermined by the foundation you lay down at the start.

"Being an all-rounder doesn’t necessarily make you strong, but the strong ones are definitely all-rounders. An all-rounder is someone with no weaknesses, balanced in every aspect, without obvious flaws or gaps.

"You’ve both reached the elite Galaxy Stage in terms of physical arts, Star Power control, Star Martial level, Basic Combat, and so on, which shows that you’ve built a very solid foundation.

"Today, I plan to teach you both a Star Martial Skill, one for each of you."

"Just one for each?" Song Jia was immediately displeased. "Brother, you are one of the top Star Martial Warriors in the world, mastering dozens of S-rank and Super S-rank Star Martial Skills. You shouldn’t be so stingy."

"Huh? Not much skill, but plenty of talk, aren’t you? A single Star Martial Skill and you’re still not satisfied? Let me tell you, if you can master this Star Martial Skill, I guarantee you’ll be strutting around no matter where you go."

With Wang Lan saying so, not just the two children, but even the members of the Suzhou City Tianjian Bureau present were filled with anticipation.

Wang Lan took a step and approached Hu Feifei. "Feifei, the move I’m passing on to you is one that I have recently developed. With a single thought, it transforms into divine thunder, carrying out the punishment of heaven with my will."

As he spoke, he lifted his arm, and fierce arcs of electricity coursed over his body. This move has five different forms, representing the ultimate in both form and attribute changes for a Star Martial Skill.

"Thunder Movement!"

BOOM—

In the blink of an eye, Wang Lan’s figure disappeared and reappeared hundreds of meters away on an empty patch of ground.

"This is Emperor Bai’s Thor Incarnation movement technique. I’ve extracted the most exquisite part of the movement technique, reducing the difficulty of cultivating this Star Martial Skill without weakening its speed."

"Thunder Net!"

BOOM—

Suddenly, a thunderous electric net with a diameter of a hundred meters sprung up around Wang Lan. Within the net, filled with micro-electrons, each micro-electron could shoot out a Thunder Knife. Nothing could survive in the realm of the Thunder Net, not even a speck of dust.

"Thunder Bird!"

The Thunder Net exploded instantly, turning into countless Swift Thunder Birds. The Thunder Birds moved as fast as lightning, striking wherever directed like countless Sword Qi controlled by will.

The problem was, three consecutive changes, each suited for entirely different environments and terrains, were still considered a single Star Martial Skill.

Since it was the same Star Martial Skill, there was no interval between them, allowing for an instantaneous switch. With these three linked together, who the hell could withstand it?

Everyone’s jaws dropped in sheer astonishment, and more of the Tianjian Bureau special operatives began sweating profusely, cold sweat dripping down.

"Thunder Body!"

Suddenly, Wang Lan’s body exploded, instantly splitting into three figures, each flickering and shifting position as if they were ghosts. Seeing this, everyone’s expression changed.

This wasn’t just simple cloning, but the ability to move instantly within the area, surpassing the movement of Thunder Movement. Thunder Movement was suitable for charges and fast evasion, but this move, much like Wang Lan’s Dance of the Dark Butterfly, allowed for flash-step assassinations.

"The final variation, Thunder Punishment!"

The three thunderous figures of Wang Lan disappeared, and his arm was wrapped in terrifying thunder pressure. Then, with a point of his finger, a Thunder Sword surged out in an instant.

RUMBLE—

A mountain range in the distance was immediately blasted open by the Thunder Sword, creating a massive, fifty-meter-diameter gouge that seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.

GULP—

Everyone swallowed hard, their shock immeasurable. Was this Wang Lan’s true strength? No wonder he could battle terrifying divine beings with the body of a mortal.

"So awesome... Brother, why don’t you teach me that move?"

"Because you can’t learn it."

"Eh?" After a second of stunned silence, Song Jia immediately protested, "Why can’t I learn it? Why not?"

"Do you have that kind of profound Star Power?"

"I... don’t!"

"Don’t worry. The move I’m going to teach you won’t be weaker than this one. The Star Martial Skill I’ll teach you is adapted from the Five-colored Phoenix form, specifically developed for your all-attribute physique."

As he spoke, Wang Lan inhaled deeply again. "Five-color Divine Light!"

In an instant, Wang Lan’s body surged with colorful lights, and the Star Power behind him slowly unfurled, transforming into a pair of gorgeous and vibrant Colored Butterfly Wings.
