I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points-Chapter 419 - Shooting in a Row
Chapter 419: Shooting in a Row
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the boundless dark universe, the huge fleet of human spaceships moved extremely quickly and progressed forward stealthily.
This was not humans deliberately sneaking around, but due to the black substance obtained from the black tide’s war weapon. As long as it was used to make the hull, it would have a stealth effect.
Any method of investigation that humans currently knew about would not detect anything due to this black substance. It was a result that exceeded the level of technology that humans should have.
Soon, the humans also received a radio message from the Daxia spaceship.
This radio wave was also formed by several repeated waves.
If the other party could decipher it, the content would simply be, “We are a fleet of friendly spaceships passing by. We hope to have a peaceful exchange.”
It was just that simple and direct.
The main reason was because of the radio waves sent by an unknown civilization.
However, it could also be seen that the level of technology of this unknown civilization was probably similar to that of humans, or weaker, or stronger.
In short, there would not be a huge difference in their level of technology. There would probably be a difference of two to three generations, or even 20 to 30 years.
However, the hulls of the human spaceships were all made of materials that had the black substance added to them. Even nuclear weapons could not do anything to them.
It was so powerful that it could withstand continuous nuclear explosions and charge through them without being damaged.
Furthermore, with the protection of the three dragon gods and more than 100 terrifying creatures, there would not be any problems.
…
On the Daxia spaceship, in the Chen family’s villa in the A1 living area, “Brother, you’re back!” Chen Yingying shouted excitedly when she saw the figure entering the courtyard.
It had been a long time since they last met. It had been about two months. Chen Yiming saw that his sister hadn’t changed much, and her cultivation was almost at the same level.
After all, she had relied on external forces to obtain the results of her cultivation.
This kind of dependence could not be eliminated for the rest of her life. He could only constantly provide better resources and a better cultivation environment for her. Otherwise, she would forever be stuck at a certain level and unable to progress further.
“Our son is back. Has the problem in the other world been resolved?”
At this moment, Mother Chen heard the commotion and walked out of the villa.
“It’s resolved. I stayed for another month and completely resolved the hidden danger.”
Chen Yiming nodded.
The main thing was that a month ago, the human spaceship fleet had just set off. It made no difference whether he returned or not.
Now that a month had passed, the spaceship fleet was already quite far from the solar system.
Looking at the solar system with the naked eye, it was like an ordinary piece of space, not an area with multiple planets.
With that, he looked into the villa. The pregnant Wu Di had followed her out, but he did not see Father Chen.
Seeing this, Mother Chen immediately complained, “Didn’t we receive a radio message from an unknown civilization a few days ago? When your father heard about it, he became so excited that he couldn’t stay at home.”
“Why do you think your father is so excited? With so many experts and all kinds of special forces around, what’s the use of an old man like him?”
“He’s still shouting all day that he has to follow the emissary team and see what the real aliens look like.”
Chen Yiming was thinking about how to reply.
He could understand that Father Chen had similar feelings to those experts. After all, humans had come into contact with the dark forest world, the terrifying creatures, and the black tide.
It was not the alien technological civilization depicted in traditional literature.
The individual cultivation system was still quite different from the technological system. The former relied on powerful individual strength to support it, while the latter relied on the overall level of the civilization. There would not be a sudden decline if any particular individual was missing.
Therefore, a surprising and exciting radio wave was very in line with what humans thought about the alien civilizations.
Chen Yingying quickly said, “Brother, I want to go too. Help me tell the higher-ups.”
Her voice was coquettish.
Hearing this, Chen Yiming realized that Chen Yingying’s excitement was also because of this.
He recalled his memories of his sister. She had almost made no progress in her own cultivation. Part of the reason should be because she was not hardworking enough.
After some thought, he rejected her. “That’s not appropriate. Do you really think that two unfamiliar civilizations can sit down and talk after exchanging just a few radio waves?”
Chen Yingying subconsciously explained, “The other party’s technological level is similar to that of humans, but the strength we have doesn’t rely on technological weapons at all, but…”
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Yiming interrupted, “Have you heard of the law of the dark forest? Don’t even think about it. Perhaps the radio waves were meant to paralyze us with fear.”
“If you want to interact with others, you can’t avoid fighting a war. You’re so weak that you’ll be a burden on the battlefield. We still have to arrange for a large number of additional forces to protect you.”
When Chen Yingying heard this, she was speechless.
In the vast universe, even the huge fleet of human spaceships seemed extremely weak, let alone individuals at the warrior realm.
The status of warriors in interstellar wars was not much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. They were no longer the key to directly affecting the outcome in interstellar wars.
After dismissing his sister, the family quickly entered the house.
…
The passage of time in the universe was both too fast and too slow.
Soon, three days had passed since the spaceship emitted the radio waves. The humans had made many preparations, but there was still no response.
It felt like time passed very slowly because the stars in the corresponding galaxy all seemed like they were still at their original positions, as if they had never moved.
On a sunny morning, Chen Yiming and Chen Yingying left the house.
The sunlight, working hours, and day and night arrangements were all arranged by the spaceship’s internal circulation system. The artificial simulation environment recreated the 24 hours cycle from the blue planet.
Soon, the two of them used spiritual power to change their appearance and boarded the floating train to the Myriad Phenomena Academy like ordinary people.
At the moment, the Myriad Phenomena Academy was the only officially recognized martial arts academy for humans. It was developed from the foundation of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.
There was a strange stone placed in the academy. The body of a star spirit created an excellent environment for cultivation. Not only were other spaceships unable to compare with it, but the area outside the academy was also far inferior.
The reason seemed to be that it was not powerful enough, and the spaceship was constantly moving quickly. The body of the star spirit instinctively restricted the essence energy it emitted to a relatively small area.
When they exited the floating train, they saw that the street was filled with people.
“These aren’t the teachers and students of the Myriad Phenomena Academy, right?”
Chen Yiming glanced at the clothes of the people in the crowd and said casually.
He saw many middle-aged warriors and older warriors queuing up with the young people to enter.
“They’re all here to register for the assessment,” Chen Yingying explained softly.
Chen Yiming nodded and said, “Of the billions of people, 90% have entered hibernation. The remaining 10% is still not a small number.”
The deeper reason was that at the initial stage of martial arts, which was below the level of a warrior,
other than the Myriad Phenomena Academy, only the other areas on the Daxia spaceship could barely provide an environment for cultivation.
If the younger generation from the other spaceships did not meet the requirements of the Myriad Phenomena Academy, they could say goodbye to their path of martial arts.
After all, even under an optimistic view, there were still many years before humans could reach a new planet. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚
Soon, Chen Yiming and Chen Yingying arrived at the registration counter.
Chen Yingying dispersed the spiritual power that hid her identity, revealing her young face.
“Teacher Chen, you have class today! Please come in,” a voice shouted. It was the young guard in charge of registering the visitors. f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
At this moment, a large number of gazes landed on Chen Yingying, filled with endless envy. Even the noise had quietened down.
Chen Yiming glanced at the young man outside the door. He seemed to have seen this person before. He was once an inner sect disciple of the Myriad Phenomena Sect. His martial arts talent was alright, but he was already half a step away from the master realm at such a young age.
Those who were half a step away from the master realm had spiritual power that could be materialized to prevent unidentified people from sneaking in. No wonder he had been assigned to guard the entrance.
Chen Yiming followed Chen Yingying silently into the Myriad Phenomena Academy.
In the entrance square of the academy, a statue was standing in the middle. There were fountains all around spewing out water according to a certain pattern.
The statue had 90% of Chen Yiming’s likeness, but the outline of his face was more sharp and mature. He would probably only look like that when he was in his thirties.
“Brother, it looks much older than you actually are,” Chen Yingying suddenly said softly.
Hearing this, the veins on Chen Yiming’s forehead bulged.
His physique contained an almost unlimited amount of life force. Under normal circumstances, his appearance would forever be fixed at the age of 18. That resolute and mature style would not appear.
Perhaps the sculptor had used some artistic freedom to display his image to be more like that of a savior.
Soon, the two of them separated.
Chen Yingying’s daily job in the Myriad Phenomena Academy was to lead a martial arts class. This was also to ease the boredom of traveling in deep space.
Chen Yiming wandered around the Myriad Phenomena Academy.
His name was hanging in front of the head’s office. The door was very new and had no signs of being used, and the lights inside were dark.
A portion of the teachers were originally from the Myriad Phenomena Sect. They were leading the new students, and carried out their teaching in an orderly manner.
In the entire academy area, the cultivation environment was inferior to the dark forest world, but it was also slightly better than on the blue planet.
This could not be helped. The power of a relatively high-level cultivation world was widely distributed in the universe, but those below the god realm could not control this power.
In the long term, as long as they did not settle down on the new planet, the development of human martial arts would be limited.
Not long after, Chen Yiming walked out of the Myriad Phenomena Academy.
…
Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, another 10 days had passed. Nothing happened. The higher-ups of the human race waited in silence for a reply to the radio waves they sent out.
Chen Yiming didn’t deliberately search for this unknown civilization.
If there were no major problems from now on, he planned to use the space anchor to make space-jumps and head to the area in the middle of the star map before the humans.
However, just as the excitement of the higher-ups rose to the peak and was about to fall to the bottom, what greeted them was not a radio wave, but bad news that they did not know how to describe.
“More than 100,000 kilometers ahead, hydrogen bombs are widely distributed in the dark space. There are more than 10,000 of them.”
In the control center of the Daxia spaceship, there was an uproar.
With so many hydrogen bombs, it was obvious that after the Daxia spaceship sent out the radio waves, their coordinates and direction of travel had been determined by an unknown civilization.
They ignored the friendship offered by the humans who came from afar and started a war without any public declaration. They even set up an ambush in advance to destroy the human spaceships.
“Damn it, we were too confident. This is not the kind of attitude we should have when facing an unknown civilization.”
An old man in a military uniform had an angry expression on his face.
If not for the seriousness of the situation, he would have smashed the conference table instead of slowly lowering his hand.
The heads of the countries were silent.
Coincidentally, Chen Yiming had returned to the spaceship. Coupled with the fact that the human spaceship fleet was strong, everyone seemed to have let down their guard. This was not right.
This time, the unknown civilization might not have the ability to threaten humans. What about the next time?
The right way to deal with it was for the humans to seize the initiative and prevent the other party from attacking the spaceship fleet.
Chen Yiming had also heard the news and participated in the meeting to make a new strategy.
The truth was just as he had expected. The encounter between two civilizations that did not know each other was almost certain to follow the rules of the dark forest.
When their strength was close, the careless side would suffer a painful sneak attack, and the fruits of their civilization would be taken over.
Soon, the higher-ups of the human race reached a consensus.
If they forcefully slowed down at this time, they would need to activate the power system again later. Time was too short, and it was very likely that the power system would be damaged.
Therefore, the spaceship fleet would rely on the toughness of the black substance on the hull to rush past the hydrogen bombs and deal with the unknown civilization later.
…
10 minutes later, “Boom! Boom! Boom!”
As the human spaceship fleet passed through the area where more than 10,000 hydrogen bombs had been set up, the space shook and countless lights lit up, drowning out everything.
With such a violent explosion, if humans relied on their own technology, they would have long been blown to bits.
If the materials produced on the blue planet were used to make the hulls of the spaceships, facing nuclear weapons, their defense would still be insufficient.
At the same time, this was another reason why humans were so enthusiastic about the exchange between civilizations in order to get rid of the traces of the black tide on the spaceship.
In the living area of the spaceship, “What happened?”
Someone felt the ground shake, as if an earthquake had occurred. He quickly ran out of the house.
“Maybe the spaceship was ambushed.”
On the way, some of the people who had run out guessed the reason for the tremors.
In space, if there was such a sudden change in the situation, there was a high chance that they were being ambushed. It was not like they had accidentally entered some problematic space.
At this moment, a broadcast sounded throughout all the areas on the spaceship.
The announcers from the various countries announced in a concise manner that the spaceship fleet had accidentally entered the ambush set up by an unknown civilization. However, the citizens did not have to worry. The spaceships could withstand the consequences of this mistake.
When the citizens heard the announcement, they did not panic further.
This was because everyone knew that the hull of the spaceship was infused with high-tech materials. The source was the black tide, and the materials were not something that could be easily destroyed.
And the situation was exactly like that.
Soon, the spaceship fleet rushed out of the area with the hydrogen bombs and gradually slowed down before finally floating in space.
More than 10,000 hydrogen bombs had exploded in succession, but they had not left even a dent in the surface of the spaceships. Even if there had been one, the hulls had automatically repaired themselves in a short period of time.
In the dark space, Chen Yiming stood in the air. The three dragon gods and more than 100 terrifying creatures had already woken up from their slumber.
If there were enough nuclear explosions, they would still pose a threat to those at the master realm. However, what level were they at? The weakest among them was at the fusion realm.
A nuclear explosion was actually equivalent to scratching an itch for them.
If not for the fact that this was the first time the human spaceship fleet had come to a stop after encountering an accident, they would not have woken up all the subsidiary species.
“Should we attack and destroy the other party?” a dragon god opened its bell-like eyes and asked Chen Yiming.
“Let’s observe the situation first. If this is all they have, they’re really too weak. There’s no need to show yourselves,” Chen Yiming looked into the air and said calmly.
The three dragon gods and more than 100 terrifying creatures were a form of insurance he had arranged. If they were revealed too many times, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.
At that time, if the spaceship fleet was attacked again, the enemy would take measures against the subsidiary species as well.
…
Just as the humans released the small spaceships and were about to investigate the location of the unknown civilization, specks of light appeared dozens of kilometers away and attacked the fleet of human spaceships.
At the same time, due to the appearance of the light, a sphere was revealed in their field of vision.
“So it’s a planet. Is it a wandering civilization?”
The moment the light appeared, the general appearance of the unknown civilization was reflected in Chen Yiming’s eyes. He vaguely made out a figure that was taller than humans and looked like a lizardman.
Soon, the specks of light could also be seen clearly.
It turned out that they were interstellar missiles one after another. There were also more than 10,000 of them, and they were spewing flames as they attacked. There was a high chance that there were also hydrogen warheads installed inside.
They were probably disturbed by the energy shockwaves and only saw the spaceship fleet rush out of the hydrogen bomb trap. They did not see the damage clearly, so they quickly launched a new round of attacks.
At this moment, the human spaceships lined up and started to counterattack.
Elemental energy attacks shot out in rows. There were thunderballs that turned into lightning storms, fireballs that turned into flames, and ice cones that froze the air.
This was not because there were no interstellar missiles with hydrogen warheads on the human spaceships. The human spaceships had them, but were made from resources that could not be replenished after they were used up unless they stopped on another planet.
On the other hand, the source of the elemental attacks was the fragments of the extraordinary weapons from the black tide. These fragments could automatically be charged and could be used repeatedly as long as they were not damaged.
A few minutes later.
“Boom!”
The elemental attacks from the human spaceships collided with the missiles from the unknown civilization.
Then, countless shock waves that shook the void and blinding light erupted. The dark space was illuminated by the light, and the two civilizations could clearly see each other.
“A planet!”
In the spaceship, the higher-ups were all shocked.
The light from before was not enough for the reconnaissance equipment to take a clear photo of the unknown civilization.
However, as the elemental bombs exploded and the hydrogen warheads were detonated, a strong light instantly erupted, revealing the exact coordinates and appearance of the unknown civilization.
In terms of scale, the planet was undoubtedly larger than the human spaceship fleet.
If the two sides were at the same level of technology, the spaceship fleet would definitely suffer a huge loss if they fought against the forces from the planet.
