I Have Infinite Skill Points

"Are you... planning to stay here tonight?" After Xu Shiyun's car roared away, Wang Lan asked awkwardly.

"My parents must be worried about me... Can I call them?"

"It should be fine now, to let your family know you're safe."

"May I use your phone?"

Xie Sisi had been stripped down to her underwear, and obviously, she had left her phone and wallet behind. Wang Lan gave her his phone, and she walked over to a corner to make the call.

Some time passed, perhaps half an hour, before Xie Sisi returned with swollen eyes.

"Here's your phone back. I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, my life would have been over."

"We're classmates; we should help each other out," Wang Lan said, setting the phone aside.

The basement suddenly grew quiet, and the scent of Xie Sisi's perfume filled Wang Lan's nostrils. Only the two of them were present, and the atmosphere suddenly became very intimate.

"Umm... Xie Sisi."

"Hmm?" Xie Sisi's nasal response sounded so tantalizing that a surge like an electric current flowed through Wang Lan, nearly causing him to shiver.

What kind of enchantress was this, so captivating?

Wang Lan turned his head and glanced at the Training Room. He took off his jacket to reveal a snug white undershirt beneath.

"It's already so late, and so much has happened to you, I figure you won't be able to sleep tonight anyway. How about... we practice together?"

What he said at first sounded sensible to Xie Sisi, but the rest... Did that even make sense?

Practice together?

Alone with a man in a room, especially when this woman was in distress. To come up with the idea of practicing together at such an opportune... No, a heaven-sent chance like this?

Xie Sisi looked at Wang Lan in astonishment as he folded his jacket neatly and put it aside, her expression completely petrified.

Upon hearing the start of his sentence, Xie Sisi had almost guessed where the conversation was heading.

That part about "I think you won't be able to sleep tonight, how about..." Shouldn't it have been followed by "we sit down for a chat"? Talk a bit?

This twist, wasn't it a bit off-script?

Practice? Who would be in the mood to practice in this situation?

"When you were freed from the box earlier, your movements were quite impressive. You weren't fully conscious at the time, but you demonstrated such remarkable skills. This shows that your strength is far from ordinary..."

"I... I practice very late every night. I have specially made weighted gear for myself; I exercise with a 30-kilogram load, doing kicks, running, jumping. Every few days, my dad makes some concrete posts for me to practice striking with hands and feet, and I break one every day... I've told you before, I'm very hardworking privately. It's just... just... during competitions, I get so nervous, I can't control that kind of nervousness..."

"But when your consciousness was blurred, you managed to evade the guards' pursuit and demonstrated such fierce moves. This indicates that your true strength is very strong. It's just that you can't overcome the anxiety, and that's why your combat skills are significantly lacking in real fights. I guess it's because you don't have someone to practice fighting with regularly. Fight with me, and see if you can overcome it."

Wang Lan was eager to try, his face showing an expression of excitement looking forward to the hunt.

Wang Lan had always thought his Basic Combat ability was among the very best of his peers; even his combat teacher Liu Jie was no match for him. But tonight, the other Xie Sisi taught Wang Lan a lesson.

Fierce combat and the powerful force it unleashed. Moreover, Wang Lan distinctly felt the Star Energy Fluctuation in Xie Sisi's moves.

She had used Star Power but did not perform a Star Martial Skill. Others might not understand how Xie Sisi applied Star Power to her combat, but Wang Lan understood.

Once the Inch Strength Fist reached the silver level, mere physical strength was no longer enough to bring out its power. Therefore, Star Power was needed as a supplement. It would mix with the skill of energy channeling to burst forth with strength that was simply not possible for a normal person.

One punch could split mountains and shatter rocks.

And Xie Sisi managed to apply Star Power to all her combat moves, making each punch and kick extraordinarily powerful. How could this skill not make Wang Lan envious?

This was certainly the pinnacle of silver-level combat. Although one could learn it by adding skill points, aren't skill points precious? If you could comprehend it on your own, wouldn't that save a tremendous amount of skill points?

Xie Sisi saw the expression on Wang Lan's face and reluctantly nodded. But she knew inside that the feelings of nervousness and fear were not simply due to anxiety. This feeling had plagued her for many years.

Since that one time when she was nine years old.

"Alright then..." Xie Sisi followed Wang Lan to the training platform.

"This is where I used to practice combat with instructors. Let's start with punches and kicks. You come at me with an attack!"

"Okay!" As soon as Xie Sisi got into position, her hands began to tremble.

The extent of the shaking was so noticeable that Wang Lan, standing two to three meters opposite her, could see it clearly.

"Come on, attack. Don't be nervous."

"Alright... Wang Lan, I'm in your hands," she said, then Xie Sisi charged towards Wang Lan with shuffling steps, sending a stiff punch towards his chest.

This punch not only lacked momentum but was also poorly executed. Xie Sisi left herself no room to adjust or change her attack.

So Wang Lan merely sidestepped slightly and struck Xie Sisi's shoulder with a chop of his hand.

"AH—" Xie Sisi collapsed, clutching her shoulder and looking pitifully hurt.

"What are you crouching for? To gain sympathy? Would an enemy on the battlefield show mercy to you for your weakness? Would the Exotic Beasts of the Different Dimensional Space spare you for your frailty?"

Originally, Xie Sisi expected Wang Lan to crouch down and ask her with concern, "Xie Sisi, how are you feeling?"

But she had never expected to hear these words from Wang Lan.

Aggrieved, so very aggrieved.

Her nose felt sour, but she forced back her tears.

"Understood!" Xie Sisi stood up once more.

"Continue!"

"Yes!"

Wang Lan had always seemed like a warm guy to his classmates, with a warm smile and a gentle tone of voice. But in this moment, Xie Sisi saw a completely different side of him.

Wang Lan was not warm, especially when fighting. His moves were sharp and vicious, aiming for the vitals with each strike.

Unbelievably, Wang Lan actually punched right at Xie Sisi's beautiful face.

That punch left Xie Sisi completely stunned. Her head was in a fog, as if the world had been peeled away around her.

Wang Lan showed no sign of stopping, his hand slicing toward Xie Sisi's throat. But in that instant, Xie Sisi arched backward to dodge Wang Lan's hand strike.

Her steps shifted, instantly creating a distance of two meters.

"Good!" Wang Lan's eyes suddenly brightened; Xie Sisi's last-minute dodge finally looked decent.

"Again—"

In front of him, Xie Sisi suddenly crouched down, covering her face and crying.

SOB... SOB...

Seeing this, Wang Lan belatedly realized how harsh and painful the string of fierce attacks had been for a girl. Wang Lan had aimed for her face with his strikes.

It wasn't Wang Lan's fault; after all, Huang Feilong had taught him that way.

During the fights with Wang Lan, Huang Feilong used a combination of Traceless Fist and FoShan Shadowless Kick. In the first half month, they left Wang Lan battered to the point of feeling disintegrated.

It was precisely this ruthless and unsparing way of teaching that allowed Wang Lan, even before awakening as a Star Martial Warrior, to have a bronze LV3 in movement technique.

Wang Lan saw this method of training as excellent, though the process was extremely brutal.

SOB... SOB...

"Don't cry, I... I'm sorry."

"It's not... I don't blame you; I blame myself... I'm so... useless... I..."

"Take your hands away!"

"No, I must look like a pig's head right now."

"How can I treat you if you don't move your hands away?"

Only then did Xie Sisi remove her hands, revealing several bruises on her face from Wang Lan's punches. Indeed... quite cruel.

He placed his palm over the bruised areas, and in a short while, her face was restored to its original state.

"I'm sorry... I know this way of fighting is too cruel for you. When I practiced combat, my instructor used to beat me like this. My current level of combat strength is all thanks to this method of fighting. This style of battle trains your dodging, reaction, and adaptability. It provides a comprehensive and all-around improvement..."

"Is my face okay now?" Xie Sisi suddenly interrupted Wang Lan, anxiously asking.

Wang Lan felt like a wire in his brain was about to snap. What's wrong with this woman's thought process? I'm explaining the necessity of the training method, and all you care about is your face? If this keeps up, I'm going to give you a *real* training session!

"My face... is it still ugly?" Seeing that Wang Lan had not responded, Xie Sisi asked nervously.

"It's already healed."

"Really? So... you'll heal me whenever you hurt me?"

"Yes."

"Then let's continue!" Xie Sisi stood up joyfully, her resilience in recovering her composure was unexpectedly good.

So Xie Sisi's tears weren't about being beaten? They were about her face swelling up? Is this... a woman's way of thinking?

"Wang Lan, please continue, I can take it."

"Good! This time, I'll go on for ten minutes, and I won't stop within those ten minutes. My training method is different from the school's. At school, if you surrender or get knocked down, it's over. With me, unless the time is up, I won't stop striking."

"Good! Please start."

Ten minutes, with Wang Lan's rate of attack, was simply torture for Xie Sisi. It seemed like Wang Lan's attacks were coming from everywhere, with pain striking her body every second.

But after the initial stiffness and numbness, Xie Sisi realized that she was taking significantly fewer hits in the final minute. Particularly after being punched a few times in the face and her head feeling dizzy, she instinctively dodged most attacks.

Wang Lan noticed this as well.

As soon as the ten minutes were up, Xie Sisi collapsed like a wooden doll. Wang Lan hurriedly started to treat her, and just as he finished, his phone signaled a communication alert.

"Rest for a while, I'll check this out."

This time of day, it should be a message from Xu Shiyun.

He opened his phone, and sure enough, it was a video message from Xu Shiyun. Wang Lan clicked to download, and after a few seconds, the video was ready.

He clicked play.

"Zhang Zhiyun, engaged in organized criminal activities from the year 5012 to 5018 of the Celestial Calendar, issued high-interest loans, harassed other people's families, and bullied others. After interrogation by the Tianjian Bureau, Zhang Zhiyun was found guilty of rape by deceit, forcing into prostitution, murder, illegal fundraising, and endangering society. Convicted of multiple offenses, he was sentenced to death and executed by shooting immediately."

In the video, Xu Shiyun read the verdict while holding a folder, with Zhang Zhiyun kneeling on the ground of the parade field. Behind Xu Shiyun stood two men in green clothes.

After Xu Shiyun finished reading, she closed the folder.

"Execute!"

BANG—
