I Have Infinite Skill Points

BOOM— Even in his phoenix form, Wang Lan could easily shatter Wang Mingling at his Galaxy Stage peak, let alone a bunch of scum in the middle and later stages of the Star Cloud Stage, with just one punch.

Fortunately, Wang Lan still retained some reason and did not strike with lethal force. Otherwise, these Star Martial Academy students would have faced more than just broken arms and ribs—they would have been sent straight to the afterlife.

CRACK, CRACK, CRACK— The ice mountain was covered in cracks, falling apart like chipped wall paint. Regardless of how many ice blocks Jiang Xinyu created, she could not keep pace with the rate at which the ice was being stripped away.

Duanmu Yi looked like a sculpting artist, smugly and gracefully chipping away the layers of ice on Jiang Xinyu's body, as if admiring his own crafted artwork.

"Rest assured, this kind of Star Martial Toxins will not leave any residue in the body after it takes effect. And when it does, you will become very aggressive. Plus, I have a camera here as evidence.

Even if you take it to court, I have enough proof to show that you participated willingly. We're all adults here, let's not be too prissy, okay?"

BOOM— With a loud bang, the private room door burst open instantly. A phoenix bathed in flames spread its wings in the doorway. Jiang Xinyu, her heart in her throat, saw the phoenix phantom, and a relieved smile touched the corners of her mouth. The frost on her body instantly shattered and fell away.

With a flicker, Wang Lan appeared beside Jiang Xinyu, steadying her teetering figure.

"What happened?"

"Duanmu Yi instructed Lan Qi to drug me!" Jiang Xinyu gasped, not needing to elaborate; a single sentence was enough.

In a flash, Wang Lan's rage surged straight to his heart, and his eyes immediately turned blood-red.

"Song of Life!" A ray of white light connected to Jiang Xinyu, like a slender chain. A white light began to flicker on Jiang Xinyu's body.

"Oh? It's you again! Although I admire your moth-to-flame bravery for trying to save your girlfriend, I must remind you that I am Duanmu Yi, the direct descendant of the Duanmu Family. Offend me, and you'll have to consider whether you can withstand the wrath of the Duanmu Family.

You didn't get into Star Martial Academy so easily, but I can make you pack up and leave in minutes. Moreover, I can guarantee that not a single Star Martial Academy would dare to admit you again. Your life's progress will stop at..."

BOOM— A fist wreathed in scorching flames savagely smashed into Duanmu Yi's cheek. His words were instantly cut off. In a panic, Duanmu Yi hurriedly raised his hand to block, but Wang Lan's punch was too fast.

An angry blow in his phoenix form—even Duanmu Yi, in the middle stage of the Galaxy Stage, was too slow to react. The punch landed on Duanmu Yi's cheek, and his body immediately flew backward, smashing through the walls of the private room and hurtling into the distance.

Flames roiled violently around Wang Lan, and the surrounding walls instantly burst. In the moment the walls exploded, Wang Lan's figure had already vanished.

"Wang Lan—" Jiang Xinyu, having recovered, let out a cry of alarm.

Duanmu Yi, hurled backward, his cheek already swollen high, stared in a daze at the blood droplets dancing before his eyes.

He dared to hit me? I was actually hit?

Heh heh heh... someone actually dared to hit me...

In an instant, rage exploded in his chest. His figure paused momentarily, stabilizing in mid-air. Just as he was about to rush back and confront Wang Lan, a ball of flame charged at him at high speed from right before his eyes.

"Very well!" Duanmu Yi's figure flashed, charging towards Wang Lan.

"Yimu Fall—" Extending his palm, a sharp piece of ebony shot out from it at lightning speed, aiming directly at Wang Lan.

CRACKLE— A sharp thunderclap echoed. Instantly, Wang Lan's hands gathered a dazzling sphere of electric arcs, which coalesced into a brilliant Thunder Knife, immediately clashing with Duanmu Yi's ebony.

BOOM— Wood chips flew in all directions!

The hardness of ebony was comparable to steel. Furthermore, Wood Attribute Star Martial Skills possessed the characteristic of absorbing others' Star Power. While Star Martial Warriors themselves didn't have this trait, their Wood Attribute Star Martial Skills did.

Therefore, when fighting a Wood Attribute Star Martial Artist, it is best to end the battle quickly. Otherwise, if dragged into the late stages, Wood Attribute powers will grow stronger as the fight progresses.

The ferocious thunder and skillful use of the Flame Sword fused, endowing the Thunder Knife with unimaginable sharpness. The incredibly hard ebony crumbled rapidly under the onslaught of the Thunder Knife.

Once again, Wang Lan surged towards Duanmu Yi. The phoenix wings made of flames flapped behind him as his figure rapidly destroyed the ebony and reached Duanmu Yi.

Impossible... How could you be so strong?

Duanmu Yi could hardly believe it. A new student, enrolled for less than two months, actually possessed Galaxy Stage strength? How could that be? Do you think you are Yu Ruoyun?

But Wang Lan had already reached Duanmu Yi, his hand holding the Thunder Knife high, as if a lightning bolt were cutting through the night sky.

CRACKLE— Duanmu Yi split into two halves in mid-air, but it was just a wooden decoy. The real Duanmu Yi suddenly and eerily appeared behind Wang Lan.

"Entangle—"

In an instant, Duanmu Yi's palms turned into black vines, wrapping around Wang Lan as fast as lightning, mummifying him.

"Mad Python Soul Swallow!"

Immediately following that, a vine transformed into a pitch-black python, opening its gaping maw to bite at Wang Lan's head. In an instant, Wang Lan's body was engulfed in purple, raging flames.

BOOM— The binding vines shattered instantly, and a phoenix bathed in purple flames spread its wings and soared.

How is this possible! Duanmu Yi inwardly cried out in shock once again.

If before he merely thought Wang Lan was strong, now he felt utterly unable to defeat him!

He was too powerful. Even the constricting vines capable of devouring Star Power couldn't restrain Wang Lan. This was something that had never happened in his entire cultivation history.

Duanmu Yi's vines could absorb Star Power at ten times the rate of other Wood Attribute Star Martial Skills. Anyone entangled by them would almost certainly go limp, their Star Power drained to the last drop. Forget using Star Martial Skills to break free; they couldn't even muster any physical strength.

Yet, facing Wang Lan, Duanmu Yi felt as though his vaunted Death Entanglement skill was a fake. Had all those previously drained of Star Power by him merely been acting? Otherwise, how could it be so utterly ineffective?

In the moment his thoughts whirled, Duanmu Yi was met with a furious punch from Wang Lan.

With no time for hesitation, Duanmu Yi hurriedly opened his Star Palace, summoning forth the Star Palace Artifact, the Azure Dragon Battle Armor.

The Azure Dragon Battle Armor was a Star Palace Artifact granted to the Duanmu Family, one of the four great dragon-guarding families during the imperial era. It perfectly aligned with the Duanmu Family's Wood Attribute.

The moment the armor settled onto his body, Wang Lan's punch arrived at his face.

BOOM— Ripples spread across Duanmu Yi's armor. The force of this punch sent shockwaves that tore apart the clouds, revealing the dazzling starlight in the night sky.

For the first time, people in Modu City saw the sky's glorious starlight during the night.

But Wang Lan, in the sky at that moment, felt something was amiss the instant his punch landed. Massive amounts of Star Power were frenziedly rushing towards Duanmu Yi. This was a speed of absorption unmatched by any previous Wood Attribute Star Martial Skill.

"Hahaha... kid, you think you can fight? Your strength has indeed impressed me."

CRACKLE— Instantly, Wang Lan's fist erupted with brilliant electrical arcs. In that explosive flash, his fist broke free from the Azure Dragon Armor's suction. Wang Lan quickly retreated!

"Do you know what a Star Martial Family is?" Duanmu Yi sneered. "Star Martial Families possess a foundation beyond your wildest imagination. It's a gap you could never bridge, no matter how talented or hardworking you are.

"My Azure Dragon Armor can absorb the Star Power from any attack and convert it into my own strength. No matter how you strike, you can't even harm a single hair on my head! Moreover, you've broken the taboo against fighting within the city. You'll be disciplined by the academy and then sanctioned by the law, while I will face no consequences.

"I have countless ways to destroy you, yet you can't change a thing. Once you're dealt with, your woman will still be mine. As for your family and friends, I'll enjoy toying with them slowly.

"Boy, anger only burns away your reason, reducing you to worthless mud. Are you furious now? Do you wish you could kill me? Hahaha... But you can't!"

A chill flashed in Wang Lan's eyes. Instantly, Star Power surged around him, and his Star Palace opened. Staring at the rotating Star Cloud within Wang Lan's Star Palace, Duanmu Yi looked astonished.

Star Cloud Stage? You're only at the damned Star Cloud Stage?

How could a mere Star Cloud Stage warrior force someone like him, at the mid-Galaxy Stage, to don the Azure Dragon Battle Armor? No, he couldn't let this kid turn the tables; it would be too troublesome later.

But the next instant, Duanmu Yi's expression froze. In a flash, a cyan phoenix emerged from Wang Lan's Star Palace. A metallic phoenix appeared above Wang Lan, beating its wings.

Instantly, the phoenix shattered, transforming into pieces of armor that automatically adorned Wang Lan's body. The Phoenix Constellation Bronze Saint Cloth awakened in his phoenix form.

Feeling the unceasing power surging within his body, Wang Lan once again charged toward Duanmu Yi. He threw another punch, wreathed in roaring, scorching flames, aimed at Duanmu Yi's chest.

"It's useless, the more you strike, the quicker you'll die. Feel free to hit me, if you injure me at all, count me..."

Immense power transmitted from the chest armor! Duanmu Yi's expression changed drastically!

How is this possible? Why can't it absorb Star Power anymore? No, something's wrong!

Indeed, the Azure Dragon Battle Armor's Star Power absorption was suppressed by the Saint Cloth. Wang Lan's eyes instantly ignited with flames, and the purple fire around him surged even more violently. His hands became a blur, flame-wreathed fists blooming like a peacock displaying its tail feathers.

And this multitude of fists were all gold-level Inch Strength Fists, executed in his phoenix form. Even a single such punch could shatter a tank. With countless punches landing on Duanmu Yi, even the Star Palace Artifact couldn't withstand the assault.

His figure plummeted rapidly, pounded by Wang Lan from above. But this wasn't what terrified Duanmu Yi the most. The Azure Dragon Battle Armor he wore began to crack, fragmenting just like the ice armor stripped from Jiang Xinyu.

Once the Azure Dragon Battle Armor fractured to a certain degree, its defensive capabilities naturally reached a critical threshold.

In the next instant, Duanmu Yi had no time to ponder the shattering of the Azure Dragon Battle Armor, an artifact passed down for hundreds of years. The overwhelming power from the punches surged into his internal organs.

Pain, an unimaginable agony, shot through his mind, instantly engulfing Duanmu Yi's consciousness.

Duanmu Yi's mouth fell open, and a spurt of fresh blood gushed out.

BOOM— Like a meteor crashing to earth, Duanmu Yi slammed fiercely into the green belt in the middle of the Panlong Overpass. A thunderous noise resounded, and a slight tremor could be felt within a two-kilometer radius.
