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

Chapter 966 A Fortuitous Opportunity
Sun Shu was kicked away by this kick.

With the skillful use of [Interlacing Light and Shadow], Xi Yue was instantly teleported behind Sun Shu and used her spear to hold Sun Shu's neck, who was being bound by Xiao Ao Shu's spatial power.

With just a moment's carelessness, Sun Shu's defeat was sealed.

This outcome far exceeded Sun Shu's expectations.

He couldn't understand why his emotions could have such a significant impact on his strength; it didn't make sense.

Even Lin Yi thought so.

The function of the All-Seeing Eye is very simple: it is to provide the ultimate analysis.

Analyze the enemy's strength, analyze the enemy's thoughts, analyze the enemy's moves, and dissect everything in this world.

Analyzing the enemy is something that the All-Seeing Eye does all the time.

The moment they encountered Sun Shu, they began to analyze him.

Without the influence of disguise skills, and without Sun Shu deliberately concealing his strength, Lin Yi was able to clearly analyze Sun Shu's divine power level.

In the brief moment that Sun Shu hesitated, his divine power level actually dropped by a significant amount.

Only then was Lin Yi able to easily repel Sun Shu temporarily.

Sun Shu, whose thoughts were pulled back by his own transformation, regained his composure. With just a burst of divine power, his boundless sword intent repelled Lin Yi and the other two once again.

After regaining his balance, Lin Yi began to answer the question seriously.

Lin Yi has always been a low-key person, and he has never said anything like that his strength and talent far surpass those of ordinary people.

However, he cannot deny that his abilities among his peers are absolutely top-notch.

"Nothing in the world can escape the laws of nature. If one is truly powerful, why would one lie dormant for so many years, enduring such hardship?"

“Anxing did indeed seize a plane from the gods and hold it firmly in its hands, but one thing I am very clear about is that if most of Anxing could do what I have done, why would Anxing act rashly?”

Although Lin Yi did not directly answer his question, he did give Sun Shu a reasonable explanation.

The Dark Rise now possesses the strength to rival the gods of the heavens, but in terms of raw power, it is certainly inferior to the gods of the heavens; otherwise, it wouldn't only have a mid-plane.

Yes.

After all, the gap in resource acquisition is there.

It's like comparing a cow that's always well-fed to one that's only half-fed. If those two cows were to fight, it's hard to say who would win.

Even knowing the answer that was most unfavorable to Lin Yi, Sun Shu's killing intent towards Lin Yi gradually diminished at this moment.

Having been a high-ranking god for many years, Sun Shu has always adhered to one principle.

Fight enemies you can defeat, and let go of those you can't; there's no need to force anything.

Just a moment ago, an idea popped into his head.

Should I completely eliminate Lin Yi, this threat, to save the gods a lot of trouble? Is this something I should be considering?

Even though he stands in the camp of the gods, the cultivation path he has always followed is to go with the flow.

I am merely an ordinary, slightly stronger higher god. How could I possibly change the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure, order, and power) of the Three Realms and Six Paths with my own strength?

The same applies to Lin Yi.

His talent and strength are indeed extraordinary, but Lin Yi alone is not enough to change the state of the Three Realms and Six Paths, so why should I have the intention to kill him?

My appreciation for talent only represents my own opinion.

Whether Lin Yi's confrontation with the Four Corpse Kings would be a death sentence or an opportunity await him remains to be seen, so why should he interfere? Having figured this out, Sun Shu withdrew his divine power, completely concentrating it within his body. It was clear that he had completely lost interest in fighting.

To Lin Yi and the other two's surprise, Sun Shu actually cupped his hands in greeting to them.

"Young friend, I have benefited greatly from our sparring and conversation today, and I am very grateful."

"Just now, I did indeed have murderous intent towards you, thinking of eliminating this troublesome person once and for all, and getting rid of you once and for all."

At this point, Xi Yue and Xiao Ao Shu's auras surged again, and they became wary of the high-ranking god in front of them, preparing to make a move.

To Xi Yue and Xiao Ao Shu's surprise, Sun Shu simply waved his hand and completely suppressed their auras.

"Whether it's the gods in power or your secret organization that controls the Three Realms and Six Paths, it's all the same."

Sun Shu's actions puzzled Lin Yi.

How could someone from the ranks of the gods say such a thing? Lin Yi's face was full of confusion. How could someone whose strength surpassed his own express gratitude to him? Was this person not quite right in the head?

If the Celestial King were to hear this, it would cause a lot of trouble.

"Young friend, have you ever heard of the Dao?"

There are many records about Taoism in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, and even the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts that Zack taught him seem to be related to Taoism.

Lin Yi could only say that he had little contact with this thing and didn't know much about it.

"The Dao I speak of is not the same as the Dao you speak of. It is what you have been doing all along. Can you summarize it in one or a few words?"

This question stumped Lin Yi.

Can you summarize your path in one or a few words?

Lin Yi had never really thought about this question.

When Lin Yi first acquired the passive skill "Gift of the Gods," his goal was to become the strongest on Earth, to make his country stand at the top of the planet, and to make his parents proud.

As time went by, Lin Yi came into contact with more and more things, and his state of mind began to change.

What started as a pursuit of fame and fortune has transformed into a dedication to protecting our planet.

Now he seeks an opportunity to obtain that god-level title that even the system is moved by.

What exactly is it that I'm seeking? Lin Yi was confused.

Sun Shu slowly stepped forward, raised his right hand, and placed it on Lin Yi's chest.

He unleashed his incomparably sharp sword intent into Lin Yi's chest.

Of course, this sword intent did not cause any harm to Lin Yi.

What Sun Shu wanted to express was simply his own idea of ​​going with the flow and following the will of Heaven.

Under the wary gazes of Xiao Aoshu and Xiyue, Sun Shu withdrew his hand and then spoke calmly.

"Young man, since you have made up your mind for me and helped me to improve my strength, then I will give you a great opportunity so that you can understand its meaning and the principles behind it."

"Breaking through realms requires not only cultivation but also mental discipline. When your mental discipline is elevated to a certain level, the improvement brought about by your enlightenment may far exceed the effects of elixirs."

Lin Yi lowered his head, pondering what Sun Shu had said.

What is the path to improve one's own strength? What should one insist on most?

Even though I have almost unlimited skill points, why do I still need to improve my strength through other means?

Why can't you use skill points to make yourself infinitely stronger?
