I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 147: Blind Date (I)

In a brightly lit villa on the west side of East Lake City, armed soldiers could be seen everywhere near the villa, constantly patrolling the surroundings.

This time, all the warrior-level factions in East Lake City were invited to participate in the auction. Therefore, be it the security or the format, they were all conducted according to the highest standards.

Ordinary middle and lower-level martial arts factions were not even allowed to approach, let alone participate.

In the main hall of the villa, jade-like lamps were mounted on the walls on both sides, and the crystal chandeliers hanging above emitted a white light that made it look as bright as day.

The guests who had arrived early gathered in groups of two or three. They chatted in low voices as they enjoyed the pastries and wine provided by the organizers.

Wan Ya and a young man were mixed in the crowd.

“Xiao Ya, why did your family suddenly arrange another marriage for you? Are they forcing you into it without considering your thoughts at all?” Gu Chen frowned and asked.

“Brother Chen, things aren’t that bad yet. It’s just a simple meeting,” Wan Ya replied in a low voice.

Gu Chen nodded and smiled again. “Things are different now. A month ago, I was still a warrior candidate, so you didn’t dare to reveal our relationship to your family. You were forced to temporarily agree to the marriage with Lin Yixuan to buy time.

But now that I’ve already broken through to the warrior realm, no one can stop us. We’ll go see your father later and get your blind date to scram.”

“Brother Chen, don’t be anxious. After all, the Kunshan Sect and the Myriad Phenomena Sect are enemies. Let me talk with my father in private first. There’s no need to start a conflict with our family,” Wan Ya persuaded.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” Gu Chen said in a low voice, “However, there’s no need to go along with the blind date this time. Just reject it outright.”

Wan Ya’s expression changed slightly, and she said hesitantly, “I heard from my father that the person he wants to introduce to me is only 18 years old, and he’s already in the warrior realm.

If I reject him directly, wouldn’t I be offending him? There’s no need for that, right?”

Gu Chen’s expression froze. He paused for a moment. “The time needed to break through to the next level from the warrior realm is 10 or 20 years.

Even if that person’s martial arts talent is better than mine, we will still be in the same realm in the short term. We don’t have to be afraid of him at all.”

Wan Ya pondered for a moment and explained, “Brother Chen, that person is my father’s disciple after all. I don’t think we should get into a bad relationship with our family over such a small matter. After all, it’s just a blind date, not an engagement.”

Gu Chen took a deep breath.

He also knew that his girlfriend’s suggestion was the most rational approach, but he still felt a surge of anger in his heart. He even felt a little aggrieved.

The first reason was that the Kunshan Sect and the Myriad Phenomena Sect were enemies, and secondly, he was not strong enough to overcome all the obstacles in their way.

As a member of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, Wan Rong was very unlikely to agree to let him marry Wan Ya, unless he was willing to abandon the connections he had gathered in the Myriad Phenomena Sect over the past decade.

“Brother Chen, hide for a moment.”

Wan Ya suddenly reminded him softly.

She had been paying attention to the flow of people entering and exiting the hall, and suddenly saw Wan Rong entering with a young man by his side.

“Then I’ll leave first.”

Gu Chen knew that this was not the time to let his emotions affect his decisions. He walked away naturally after he replied.

After Wan Rong and the young man entered the hall, he walked out from behind them.

Wan Ya let out a long breath and calmed her nerves before walking towards Wan Rong.

“Dad, you’re here,” Wan Ya said with a smile.

Chen Yiming glanced over and saw a young woman walking over.

The woman was dressed in a light yellow outfit with a black belt around her waist. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her arms were covered by long sleeves made of transparent gauze, revealing her fair skin.

She had a pair of watery eyes and a bright smile on her face. She looked like a big sister next door.

When Wan Rong saw who it was, he turned around and introduced, “Yiming, she is my youngest daughter, Wan Ya.”

Chen Yiming nodded.

The first impression Wan Ya gave him was not that of a willful little girl.

This way, things would not be so difficult, and there would be a lot of room for negotiation.

“You youngsters should take the chance to interact. I’ll go find my old friends and catch up with them,” Wan Rong said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he left without waiting for a reply.

After Wan Rong left, Chen Yiming and Wan Ya chatted briefly and got to know each other.

At this moment, a large number of guests were entering the hall one after another. The conversations became more and more intense, and there was even music playing.

The two of them chatted as usual, and they needed to stick together to hear each other clearly.

Soon, both of them used the excuse that they did not like the noisy environment in the main hall to exit the hall and take a walk along the cobblestone path in the courtyard.

Both sides had the intention to find out what the other was really thinking.

The courtyard path was quiet and almost empty. There were many trees on both sides of the path, and every 10 meters or so, a street lamp provided a faint light.

Even though she was the passive party, Wan Ya took the initiative to start a conversation. “I’ve been practicing martial arts for almost 10 years. I have already reached the warrior candidate realm three years ago, but I haven’t made much progress in drawing the concept diagram.

I heard that you have only practiced martial arts for a year and have already broken through to the warrior realm as easily as a hot knife cuts through butter. Can you share some of your experience?”

Chen Yiming raised an eyebrow.

The figure in his mind had automatically completed the drawing of the concept diagram for him. He had never tried to understand what obstacles other warrior candidates had faced when trying to break through to the warrior realm.

It was like climbing a mountain. Others needed to constantly find a relatively flat spot and climb to the top step by step.

On the other hand, he had leaped straight to the top of the mountain. He did not pay any attention to the steepness of the mountain, so he naturally did not know how to resolve the difficulties that others faced.

“Keep a calm attitude and persevere on,” Chen Yiming said.

Wan Ya smiled and said, “The elders in my sect also said something similar, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on me. Many times, I wonder if my martial arts talent is insufficient to support me to break through to the warrior realm.”

“It’s exactly because her martial arts talent is too low.”

Chen Yiming made a judgment in his heart.

In the outside world, his expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, “Let nature take its course. Perhaps one day, everything will fall into place.”

This was his own experience. He would patiently wait for the Skill Points to accumulate and upgrade his talents. He did not have to think too much about it.

Wan Ya was not angry when she heard this. She changed the topic. “The true disciples of the twelve courts of the Myriad Phenomena Sect are at the warrior realm. Don’t you plan to join the Myriad Phenomena Sect?”

“I’m considering it at the moment,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

This was not a lie. He was different from other warriors. Changing to other cultivation techniques was as easy as eating and drinking. He did not have to face the problem of giving up his decades of effort and starting over from the beginning.

If another sect specializing in swordsmanship offered him better terms, he would also consider it.

Wan Ya smiled again and said, “We might be fellow disciples soon, but I specialize in the Flying Crane Sword Technique. There’s a high chance that we won’t be in the same inner court.”

The 12 inner courts of the Myriad Phenomena Sect each cultivated a different sword technique.

The combination of the twelve inner court sword techniques formed the sect’s ultimate sword technique.
