I Have Infinite Skill Points

Wang Lan's remarks left Wang Qianfeng with a stinging pain in his chest.

Despite knowing that Wang Lan's talent was commendable, did he really have to disregard the warnings of his seniors so blatantly? What did he mean by thinking it was 'all right'? These were the collective experiences of countless Star Martial Warriors. Did he think that amounted to nothing?

But Wang Lan was still young. If his blood didn't run hot with arrogance and high spirits, would he still be a youth? At that moment, a cold smile curled at the corner of Wang Qianfeng's mouth.

"You think so? Good… you've finally shown me your immature side. You're at the Star Shine Stage, and you think your Star Power is profound, do you? How much Star Power do you need to release an A-Grade Star Martial Skill?"

"Well… it depends. Flame Sword and Star Cloud Sword Dance are sustained Star Martial Skills. I can keep them up for about… ten minutes straight."

"Ten minutes? It seems your Star Power isn't particularly exceptional. I can maintain Star Cloud Sword Dance for more than four hours. A Star Cloud Stage practitioner can maintain it for at least an hour, and you only last ten minutes.

Ten minutes, and you think that's a long time? You believe you can end a battle in ten minutes? You're only at the Star Shine Stage. Even with all your talent, in the world of Star Martial Warriors, you're just cannon fodder.

Surviving real, brutal battlefields is all down to luck. Do you think you've already mastered Star Cloud Sword Dance and Flame Sword? Your goal should be to sustain combat for the longest possible time with the least Star Power consumption. To unleash the strongest power of your Star Martial Skills in the most Star Power-efficient way—this is what you should be striving for, rather than haphazardly learning Star Martial Skills and biting off more than you can chew."

Facing Wang Qianfeng's scolding, Wang Lan respectfully accepted the lesson.

"Director Wang, I know you mean well, but my combat style has obvious weaknesses. Flame Sword and Star Cloud Sword Dance are only effective in close combat, and my attributes are easily countered. If I encounter Star Martial Warriors who can control the field, engage in aerial combat, or attack from a distance, I'll be at a significant disadvantage.

The provincial tournament is coming up soon, which is why I'm learning Crescent Arrow."

"The reason isn't important. What's important is that you've strayed onto the wrong path. Your combat style is one-dimensional. Instead of focusing on honing the application of your Star Martial Skills, you're trying to compensate with sheer numbers? You're only making things harder for yourself. Follow me!"

Saying so, Wang Qianfeng slammed the door and stormed out of the office.

Escorting Wang Lan, Wang Qianfeng arrived at the Tianjian Bureau's training field. "So, you think you'll be at a disadvantage against opponents who use aerial combat, long-range attacks, or crowd control? Watch closely!"

As soon as Wang Qianfeng finished speaking, his Star Power instantly surged around him. The Star Energy Fluctuation was unmistakably that of the Star Cloud Sword Dance, which Wang Lan recognized in a flash.

"Sky Step!" With a fierce shout, Wang Qianfeng's body shot straight up into the sky, his feet rapidly tapping the void. Explosions erupted beneath his feet as he seemed to stroll through the air, swiftly changing his position.

"Sword Qi!"

Wang Qianfeng formed a sword with his fingers, executing sword forms in the void. Bursts of Sword Qi rained down like a shower of lotus petals from the heavens.

This was still an application of Star Cloud Sword Dance, but a much more advanced one. Watching Wang Qianfeng dance through the sky like an ethereal spirit, Wang Lan felt a shiver run down his spine.

An elder is truly an elder, after all! I thought I had developed Star Cloud Sword Dance to a profound level by reaching Silver Nine. But now, it seems I still have a long way togo.

The Silver-level Star Cloud Sword Dance merely develops its forms to their utmost, while the Gold-level Star Cloud Sword Dance elevates it to another dimension, achieving dominance over land, sea, and air.

If I could elevate Star Cloud Sword Dance to the Gold Level, I indeed wouldn't need to learn new Star Martial Skills. But isn't that impossible? Breaking through to the Star Cloud Stage before the provincial tournament? With only a month left? Isn't that a joke?

Moreover, the benefit of learning Crescent Arrow wasn't just gaining a ranged attack Star Martial Skill; it also paved the way for compound Star Martial Skills. Therefore, even though Wang Qianfeng's words held logic, Wang Lan didn't feel he was wrong.

If one has skill points to upgrade skills, is there still a risk of becoming a jack of all trades, master of none, or of having breadth without depth? If so, it can only mean not having enough skill points.

"Kid, do you now understand how foolish your greed is? Other Star Martial Warriors painstakingly pursue Star Martial Skills because even when they reach the Star Cloud Stage, they might not have learned any good B-Grade skills.

Look at you! You started with an Ultra S-Grade Forbidden Technique and two A-Grade Star Martial Skills to boost you from the get-go. What more could you be dissatisfied with that makes you chase after even more Star Martial Skills? Will you dare to do this again?"

Wang Lan lowered his head. It's already been a week, he thought. Why is there still no news from Gong Jian about the A-Grade Lightning Attribute Star Martial Skill? With lightning, I might even be able to take on any Star Cloud Stage warrior.

When Wang Qianfeng suddenly posed the question, Wang Lan subconsciously replied, "I still dare!"

"I…"

Wang Qianfeng's eyes bulged, and he panted heavily with anger. If it weren't Wang Lan standing before him, he would have slapped this insolent fool to death on the spot.

Has he grown wings? Does my word no longer carry weight?

"Xu Shiyun, come to training ground number three right now," Wang Qianfeng ordered, picking up his phone to make a call.

"Director Wang, please calm down. My situation is a bit special… Really, I won't end up in the predicament you described. Besides, I've already asked Gong Jian to find me an A-Grade Lightning Attribute Star Martial Skill…"

"Lightning Attribute?" Wang Qianfeng's eyes widened even further. "You're a Fire Attribute, damn it!"

"No, I think I might be a hidden All-Attribute Star Martial Warrior. I should be able to cultivate any…"

Wang Qianfeng raised his palm, cutting Wang Lan off. His eyes shimmered with profound disappointment. "I truly don't know what happened to you that it hit you this hard… You've fallen into delusion. A hidden All-Attribute Star Martial Warrior? Are you mistaking your dreams for reality? In human history, there have been fewer than ten All-Attribute Star Martial Warriors.

Moreover, there's no such thing as 'hidden.' If there were, you'd be sent to Zhongnanshan for dissection."

"Oh, maybe I just dreamed it yesterday…"

"Director Wang, you called for me?"

"Xu Shiyun, you're just in time. Mr. Wang Lan has been getting a bit carried away recently. You will properly educate him. I'll only allow you to use one Earth Attribute Star Martial Skill."

"Director Wang, are you… serious?" Xu Shiyun asked again for confirmation.

Only allow one Earth Attribute Star Martial Skill? I *am* an Earth Attribute Star Martial Warrior, aren't I? Only one Earth Attribute Star Martial Skill? Aside from the four C-Grade ones, I only have three B-Grade and two A-Grade skills.

"Just use your Earth Spirit. I want Wang Lan to understand that even a single Star Martial Skill must be utilized well. Learning a myriad of flashy techniques is a meaningless waste."

With that, Wang Qianfeng turned and left.

At this moment, news of Wang Qianfeng ordering Xu Shiyun to fight Wang Lan spread throughout the Tianjian Bureau. Although no one understood what Wang Lan had done recently to anger Wang Qianfeng, they weren't too busy to be intrigued. Besides, given Wang Lan's current high popularity, many people expressed their interest.

Gradually, some of the Tianjian Bureau's high-level elites gathered around Training Ground Three.

Atop a tree, Lige stood with her arms folded, watching quietly. Zhang Yeqiu and Zhang Xiaoxue found a bench outside the training ground and sat down.

And from various hidden corners, pairs of eyes fixed on the training ground.

"Wang Lan, Director Wang has ordered me to teach you a harsh lesson, but I, your Brother Xu, am reluctant. What on earth did you do to offend Director Wang? Isn't an apology enough?"

Wang Lan's mouth twitched slightly. With that eager-to-fight expression on your face, do you think I'm blind?

"Brother Xu is right. Director Wang, I was wrong…"

"Wang Lan, orders from Upper Peak cannot be disobeyed! Take this—" Xu Shiyun shouted, unable to wait any longer.

Star Energy Fluctuation spread out, swift as an electrical current, reaching Wang Lan's feet in an instant. Wang Lan's body immediately shot backward, retreating all the way to the edge of the training area.

The ground before him, however, seemed to ripple and glisten like the surface of the sea.

At this moment, Xu Shiyun, like an otherworldly immortal, stepped onto this sea-like surface, walking step by step to the center of the training ground.

"Wang Lan, this is the A-Grade Star Martial Skill, Earth Spirit. In essence, it's merely a skill for controlling earth. However, Star Martial Skills possess unique profundities, enabling perfect earth control. Thus, what was originally a basic Earth Attribute application, through countless improvements and research by our predecessors, evolved into the current A-Grade Star Martial Skill.

I'll stand right here and won't move. Come and attack me."

As his words fell, Xu Shiyun provocatively beckoned with his finger.

Wang Lan couldn't stand such posturing, but he didn't recklessly charge forward. Seeing Wang Lan remain still, Xu Shiyun suddenly moved. His figure blurred into an afterimage as he closed the distance to Wang Lan by several meters. As Xu Shiyun advanced, the ground beneath his feet, seemingly sensing the Star Energy Fluctuation, also surged forward by the same distance.

In an instant, it reached the ground beneath Wang Lan's feet.

In an instant, Wang Lan sensed something was amiss. The ground beneath his feet didn't just shimmer like the surface of the sea; it had genuinely transformed into a liquid mire.

His body was about to plunge downwards.

Wang Lan had experienced Xu Shiyun's Earth Movement Skill before. The last time Xu Shiyun had led him underground, it had felt like moving through water. Now, that sensation returned.

But this 'water' was deadly. Wang Lan knew that if he became trapped in the earth, it would be over for him.

Just as his ankles were about to sink into the liquefied earth, Wang Lan successfully activated his Star Cloud Sword Dance. The flow of Star Power from his Star Cloud Sword Dance disrupted the Earth Attribute Star Power's control over the earth. Wang Lan instantly broke free, landing safely on solid ground.

Wang Lan's figure shot towards Xu Shiyun, closing to within ten meters. Suddenly, the ground around him churned, rising like giant waves in a stormy sea.

"Wang Lan can't win," Zhang Xiaoxue, wearing fluffy earmuffs, suddenly said nonchalantly.

"Xiaoxue, the way you say that… it's as if you actually considered the possibility of Wang Lan winning before?" Zhang Yeqiu asked in surprise.

"Hmm! I didn't expect Xu Shiyun to have cultivated Earth Spirit to such a degree. Earth Spirit is one of the top-tier Earth Attribute Star Martial Skills, but it's also notoriously difficult to master.

Wang Lan possesses many advantages, though they are somewhat obscured by his Star Shine Stage cultivation. He can switch between Star Martial Skills without any delay, his speed far surpasses that of ordinary people, and his combat awareness is not inferior to ours. These are Wang Lan's strengths.

Conversely, Xu Shiyun can only use one Star Martial Skill, without the aid of others—this is his disadvantage. Considering these dynamics, Wang Lan wouldn't have lacked a chance to win. But now… with Xu Shiyun demonstrating such mastery over Earth Spirit, all of Wang Lan's advantages are rendered useless."

"That's not necessarily true!" Lige's voice suddenly interjected into the sisters' conversation.
