One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 676 Shock from the Martial Emperor! He actually has this ability!
Of course, what Wu Jue Dian said was the version that Xiang Wu Xing had passed down.

Zhang Mi was given the title of hero because of a battle at Yunyuan Fortress.

"Look at me, I'm getting old and my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. I was so excited to see the three of you that I forgot to show you the proper hospitality. I'm so sorry."

"How about we go somewhere else, to the Martial Emperor's Palace, to have a chat?"

Seeing that Lin Yi and the other two did not show any displeasure, he snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the scenery before my eyes changed abruptly.

In the blink of an eye, the coordinates of the five people changed dramatically.

As expected, the strongest person on Xiangwu Star had indeed mastered the power of space.

The magnificent, gilded palace, resplendent in gold and color, showcased the status and position of Wu Juedian towards Wu Xing.

With a flick of his finger, the precious and elegant nanmu wood table slid in front of them.

With another shake, a pot of fine wine and an exquisite crystal wine glass began to move on their own.

"I was really negligent just now. This wine is exceptionally delicious, but the alcohol content is not high. It shouldn't have any effect on everyone, right?"

Since we're already here, we should definitely savor Xiang Wuxing's fine wine.

With the Great Celestial Immortal Technique at his disposal, Lin Yi was not worried at all about any terrible poison being added to the wine.

"Junior Lin Yi, this is Xi Yue and Ao Shu. I wonder if Senior has specially invited us to this hall because there is something you wish to discuss? Or is there anything we can do to help you with?"

Straightforward people are welcome everywhere.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jue Dian clapped his hands and cheered.

"Young friend Lin Yi is indeed a hero of his time. He is so quick to avenge wrongs and is far more carefree than I was back then. In that case, I will speak frankly."

Since the job change spirit crystals and skill point source crystals are making their debut on Xiangwu Star, whatever Wu Jue Dian says about the origin of these two items can only be accepted as fact.

The ambitions of the Shadow Devourer King are crystal clear to all the people of Xiangwu Star.

They send out Shadow Devourers to raid Cloud Abyss Fortress every few days; there's never a moment of peace.

Yunzhou is one of the four most crucial states on the entire Xiangwu Star.

The defenses here are crucial to the safety of the entire Xiangwu Star.

If any Shadow Devourer were to cross the Yunzhou defense line and secretly attack the Xiangwu Star People, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As its name suggests, the Shadow Devourer lives by devouring the shadows of creatures. The more shadows it devours, the more terrifying its power becomes.

Their movements are extremely mysterious.

Their true form is shadow, and so is their nourishment. They can perfectly conceal themselves in dark places, waiting for prey to pass by before launching a thunderous attack.

Like the venomous viper hiding under fallen leaves, it is extremely deadly.

Aside from high-level cultivators like those from martial stars who can detect their presence from faint fluctuations in aura, ordinary people with quick reflexes can usually manage to deal with them. Unfortunately, such ordinary people are too few and far between.

Such a formidable opponent can only be dealt with by the powerful Tian Shu Pavilion.

The disciples of the Tian Shu Pavilion who have cultivated the [Tian Shu Extraordinary Scripture] have an extremely sensitive perception of malice.

Simply put, it means being able to sense the killing intent hidden in the opponent's heart even when the opponent makes no move.

This special ability is extremely deadly to Shadow Eaters, which can hide in the shadows.

A strong sense of malice means that the Shadow Monster's invisibility ability is ineffective.

Coupled with the powerful body-tempering effects of the [Tian Shu Qi Jing], the Tian Shu Pavilion became incredibly popular, becoming an indispensable part of the entire Xiangwu Star. "Alas, it's a pity that the bigger the tree, the more the wind blows."

“Zhang Yun’s niece, Uncle Wu is sorry for you. At that time, Uncle Wu was in a state of enlightenment and could not come out of seclusion for a while. He was unable to take care of the Yunyuan Fortress, which allowed the Tunying Clan to target your father and your senior brothers.”

"The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. As the Martial Emperor, I should have considered this long ago. I am sorry for what I did."

Wu Juedian's impassioned apology brought tears to Zhang Yun's eyes.

For Zhang Yun now, restoring Tian Shu Pavilion to its former glory is more important than anything else.

With the Emperor's approval, it's only a matter of time before Tian Shu Pavilion reaches the top again.

"These two spirit crystals were given to me by Zhang Mi before he died. He guessed that these things were foreign objects and realized that they would bring about great changes to Xiangwu Star. So, before he died, he asked me to find these things."

"I have spent a hundred years searching every corner of Xiangwu Star, but I have not found anything similar. Therefore, all I can do is wait and protect."

"We await your arrival, young friend Lin Yi, to protect the people of Xiangwu Star."

His words were so righteous and impassioned that Xiao Aoshu couldn't help but clap her hands.

Hearing this, it seems that the Martial Emperor is indeed a rare and exceptional planetary ruler who cherishes his people.

"If I'm not mistaken, you mean you want to use skill points to learn a skill that can fight against the Shadow Devouring Creatures, right?"

"But what skills could possibly inflict fatal damage on a Shadow Devourer? Perhaps what you're trying to master is..."

Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, Wu Juedian nodded solemnly at him.

"That's right, young friend Lin Yi, you guessed correctly. What I want to master is the [Tian Shu Qi Jing]!"

I'm a top genius!

Just what kind of monster is Zhang Yun's father, Zhang Mi?

As someone from a different planet, Zhang Mi was able to guess the purpose of the job change spirit crystal and skill point source crystal when he received them. How clever he was!

Without any skill points, Zhang Mi was able to forcibly comprehend and master the [Tian Shu Qi Jing]—no, it should be said that it is a part of the [Ba Jiu Xuan Gong]—and pass it on to his disciples, which shows his genius.

That's something even the strongest martial artist on the martial star, Martial Peak, couldn't do!

"Ever since the decline of Tian Shu Pavilion, the situation at Yun Yuan Fortress has deteriorated day by day, and the morale of the soldiers has been declining. It is also common for Shadow Devouring Monsters to cross the defense line."

"As the Martial Emperor, sigh."

"I dare not ask for anything else now. I just hope that you can help me, young friend. Let's go to Cloud Abyss Fortress together and use the same power of creation on us to build a special formation on the fortress so that the people can be spared from the harassment of the Shadow Devouring Clan."

"Martial Peak, thank you in advance, young friend."

As he spoke, Wu Juedian bowed deeply to Lin Yi at a ninety-degree angle.

After only a moment of hesitation, Lin Yi made up his mind.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." If you're unwilling to throw away even a brick, how can you lure out a beautiful jade and see the truth of the matter?
"The Emperor's righteousness is boundless! This junior has no reason to refuse."

"However, I have a special gift to give to Senior Emperor Wu."

After saying that, Lin Yi grabbed the Martial Emperor's hand.

The next moment, the Martial Emperor's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

The skill point panel, which had been displaying 0, suddenly changed to 20000!
