I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Regarding weapon strengthening, Lin Yi first thought of Sun Dachuan.

But then he reconsidered.

Sun Dachuan is a blacksmith.

Strengthening, repairing, and crafting should be part of his duties.

Enchanting shouldn't be his area.

It's a different system.

"I'll find a way to help you find an enchanter who can enchant the soul-cleansing effect for you."

"Just wait for my news these three days."

Nangong Ling knew that with Lin Yi's current connections in Shenxiao, he couldn't find an enchanter.

So he took the initiative to handle it.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to nod and thank Nangong Ling for trying to find a way,

a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"My sword can cleanse souls."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

That's right!

I have necromancy magic!

Um...

Wait a minute.

It seems that other necromancy spells also don't have a soul-cleansing effect.

Lin You is special.

Yes, the soul-cleansing effect she mentioned probably comes from her passive effect—[Soul Cleaver]!

But Lin You's words made Lin Yi realize that necromancy is a skill system highly related to souls.

Since the mutated version of the eighth-tier skill,

already has a soul-cleansing effect,

then wouldn't necromancy's forbidden curses also have a restraining relationship with soul creatures?

Lin Yi opened his panel.

He had over 800,000 skill points remaining again.

Anyway, he'll only set off in three days.

Lin Yi decided not to spend money on buying skill points.

In the next three days,

Lin Yi had rare downtime.

After all, the school hasn't officially started yet, and even the first-year courses and plans haven't been released by Shenxiao.

So he could do whatever he liked.

He first went to the mission hall to collect his team leader rewards.

Because the mission's difficulty rating had risen from A-level to S-level,

Lin Yi's rewards also increased proportionately.

Not only did he obtain the key material Sun Wheel required for his fourth transformation,

he also received an extra 2000 academic credits, 100 breakthrough magic crystals, and 50 attribute spirit crystals.

Afterward, Lin Yi heard several interesting pieces of news.

Firstly, the situation between Xia and Curry Country.

It had become tense due to his Great Wilderness Star Fall.

There was no choice; the fall of Rama Yana, an important eastern agricultural city, directly inflicted huge losses on Curry Country.

Pain!

It hurts so much!

Precisely for this reason, three of Curry Country's six War God-level powerhouses declared war on Wanchong Mountain.

Wanchong Mountain did not respond to this.

Do you fight just because someone challenges you?

Wouldn't that make me lose face?

The most dramatic part was that after the three War Gods challenged Wanchong Mountain, he himself did not respond.

Instead, seven or eight War Gods from Xia, who hadn't secluded themselves or gone into seclusion, responded.

They expressed their readiness to accept Curry Country's challenge at any time.

Then Curry Country chickened out...

That's right, they chickened out.

As if nothing ever happened.

The three War God-ranked challengers of Wanchong Mountain vanished overnight, as if they evaporated into thin air.

Afraid of truly being confronted by the seven or eight War Gods from Xia.

This event has become the hottest amusement and joke across Blue Star recently.

Apart from the international situation,

another piece of news is that several people who previously participated in the mission with him also successfully passed the assessment.

They will officially enroll in Shenxiao after the school opens in September.

This includes Feng Sanyou, Stone Yi from Celestial Profound Daoist School's sword cultivation system, and Song Shuwen, who seems to have become best friends with Nangong Ling.

Moreover, although Wanchong Mountain didn't say this earlier,

Lan Ruoxi later simply disclosed some information about Xia Yuyan to Lin Yi.

This woman was given a chance to participate in the mission because her grandfather Xia Chaoyuan had been persistently pleading with Wanchong Mountain.

Just unexpectedly, her obsession was too strong.

Lin Yi's flick made her lie in the hospital for three or four days.

More importantly, her ambition was completely shattered by Lin Yi.

It's said that her personality changed drastically.

Chao Yuan War God was both heartbroken and sighed.

After all, for a conflict between juniors, as a War God, he certainly couldn't really trouble Lin Yi.

Moreover, even if he did cross such a line, Wanchong Mountain would be there to shield Lin Yi.

For the first time, Lin Yi felt how pleasantly reassuring it was to have someone backing him.

Three days passed.

The night before heading to East Japan,

Lin Yi was in his apartment.

At this moment, his skill points had once again exceeded the one million mark.

He opened his skill panel.

Selected the necromancy element.

Lin Yi had previously previewed necromancy's forbidden curse.

[Nether River Funeral]

This is the name of the forbidden curse.

Just by hearing the name, you can tell this should also be a wide-ranging attack skill.

Rather than necromancy's signature summoning skill.

Without much hesitation, since eventually all systems require leveling up to the forbidden curse.

Lin Yi directly initiated the one-click point allocation!

[Upgrade skill: Calamity Sovereign to ninth-tier, requires one million skill points, do you wish to one-click allocate points to upgrade?]

[Consuming one million skill points, your skill Calamity Sovereign has advanced, you acquired a new skill: Nether River Funeral!]

Before checking the effects of Nether River Funeral.

Lin Yi habitually glanced at the name of the forbidden curse's evolved version.

[Necromancy ninth-tier spell evolved version: Three Paths of Oblivion, Dark Mansion Judgment!]

Yes, as always, it matches his imagination of necromancy—

Underworld.

Could the evolved version of necromancy's forbidden curse really bring things from the underworld in Xia myths to reality?

[Nether River Funeral]

[Type: Active skill]

[Rank: Ninth-tier]

[System: Necromancy]

[Effect: Blurs the realms of the living and the dead, summons the Nether River from the Undead Realm, washing over all living things.]

[When the Nether River fully appears, it applies the "Lost Soul" status to all living targets within its range, ignoring purification and immune control effects below ninth-tier.]

[Each second a target is submerged in the Nether River, a layer of Lost Soul status is added, up to three layers, after which it converts to "Soul Harvest"!]

[Targets under one layer of Lost Soul status are unable to act or use skills.]

[Targets under two layers of Lost Soul status are unable to act, use skills, or think.]

[Soul Harvest: Once acquired, cannot be dispelled by purification, cleansing, or immunity skills below tenth-tier.]

[Living targets under Soul Harvest status have their life value forcibly reduced to 1 point, while damage immunity, shields, invincibility, and death immunity effects are nullified.]

[Spirit targets with Soul Harvest status will be dragged into the Undead Realm, never to return.]

[Note: The speed of appearance, length, width, and duration of the Nether River depend on the total quantity and strength of necromancy summons the caster currently possesses.]

[Remark: Let me row the oars and send you to the other shore.]

Lin Yi was shocked.

This is the first forbidden curse he has encountered that doesn't directly inflict any damage.

However, lacking direct damage doesn't mean this forbidden curse isn't powerful.

On the contrary, this curse is almost a mechanic freak!

Touching the Nether River already imposes a strongly controlling status.

Unable to act, unable to use skills.

This practically ensures the target remains submerged in the Nether River continuously.

As the Lost Soul status layers to two, the target's ability to think is even stripped away.

Finally, all is carried away by the Nether River, reducing the life value limit to 1 point!
