I Have Infinite Skill Points

"Young man, don't speak nonsense if you don't understand. Feifei's bone cells are proliferating, growing wildly and without limit. This diagnosis of bone cancer is the result of discussion and repeated confirmation by several of our chief physicians."

"We arrived at this conclusion through advanced instrumentation and scientific verification. Yet you take one look and blurt out such an irresponsible statement. Do you realize how much damage this could do to our hospital's reputation?"

"Director Li, please don't get agitated. I'm not saying your diagnosis is wrong. Feifei might indeed have bone cancer, but her bone cancer is different from the one you understand."

"What do you mean?"

Hu Qing grew even more agitated, grabbing Wang Lan's sleeve. "Wang Lan, what's wrong with Feifei? Is there a cure? Do you have a way?"

"Regarding this problem... First, listen to my explanation. The doctors might be correct in diagnosing Feifei with bone cancer, but Feifei's situation is very special. It's possible that she awakened her Star Martial Warrior Talented Skills just as her bone cancer first emerged."

"That can't be, can it?" Hu Qing's face filled with even more incredulity at Wang Lan's words. "Feifei, have you awakened?"

"No... I haven't!"

"Your bones contain Star Power. I'm absolutely certain of this. Normally, a Star Martial Warrior's Star Power is mostly in their flesh cells. This is the first time I've seen someone whose Star Power is primarily contained within their bones, like yours.

"You must have awakened your Star Martial Attributes and then encountered a pathological change, leading to a mutation in those attributes. The spikes and sharp protrusions growing from your bones are actually being driven by disordered Star Power."

Could it really be like this— Director Li was dumbstruck by Wang Lan's explanation. Feifei's strange condition finally had an explanation. Even if it *is* bone cancer, why would it only cause bone spikes to grow?

"Let's not delve into the cause for now. The question is, can Feifei's illness be treated?" Hu Qing asked anxiously.

"I have no confidence. Feifei's Star Martial Talented Skill *is* bone cancer; the bone cancer *is* her Star Martial Talented Skill. I can't guarantee whether her Star Martial Talented Skill will control the cancer or if the cancer will claim her life."

"Brother..." Feifei suddenly grabbed Hu Qing's hand. "Brother, please let this young man help me... It really... hurts so much. Every time, it hurts so much I want to cry, but I'm afraid crying will make you all sad. So I can only smile... but it truly, truly hurts."

"This..." Hu Qing looked up at Wang Lan. "What will happen if your attempt fails?"

Wang Lan turned his head and glanced at Director Li, who also looked tense. "It might be the same as the worst-case scenario he mentioned."

Feifei's illness had reached a terminal stage, like an oil lamp about to run dry. Even if she underwent treatment, it would only delay the inevitable. And every day she lived now was excruciating torture for Feifei.

"Dad, Mom—" Hu Qing looked up at his parents, seeking their opinion.

"Seeing Feifei like this, your mother and I are heartbroken. So, is this a gamble now?" Hu Qing's father asked Wang Lan anxiously.

"More or less."

"How confident are you?"

"Uncle, although I'm a Star Martial Warrior of the Medical Attribute, this is my first time encountering such a mixture of illness and Star Martial Talented Skills. If you insist on asking, I can only say I have no confidence at all."

"Young man, don't be nervous. Just go ahead and try your best. I won't blame you. Whether I live or die, it will be a good outcome for me. It has to be better than this living death I'm enduring now, right?"

"Wang Lan, go ahead."

"We're counting on you, young man."

Wang Lan slowly extended his hand, unbuttoned Feifei's collar to reveal her smooth chest, placed his palm on it, and activated his healing skill.

Suddenly, Feifei's body lit up, a hazy, crescent moon-like glow emanated from her entire body.

Feifei's body began to tremble slightly. Every pore on her skin opened, and bead-sized drops of sweat poured out incessantly. In no time, her entire body was drenched in sweat.

But Feifei showed no sign of pain; instead, she let out a comfortable-sounding moan.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP—"

On the heart rate monitor beside her, Feifei's heart rate spiked drastically, reaching a terrifying 130-140 beats per minute.

"Young man, stop for a moment! Feifei's heart rate is too fast!"

"I can't stop. I'm helping her open her Star Palace!" Wang Lan declared in a deep voice.

It wasn't clear if it was due to the bone cancer or the daily chemotherapy, but although Feifei had already awakened her Star Martial Warrior Talented Skills and possessed Star Power, she hadn't opened her Star Palace.

Star Power without a Star Palace is like a masterless, uncontrolled force. This was why her Star Power had erratically stimulated her bones to grow wildly into spurs.

Soon, Feifei's heart rate reached a frightening 150 beats per minute. Sustaining such a heart rate for ten minutes could lead to myocardial infarction or heart failure.

The thumping heartbeat sounded like a drum.

Simultaneously, a visible ripple suddenly undulated above Feifei's head. Within these ripples, a vortex of energy gradually formed and converged.

Director Li wanted to speak up and stop him, but Jiang Xinyu, with quick eyes and deft hands, restrained him. At this critical juncture, any interruption would mean all previous efforts were wasted.

BOOM—

The vortex above her head finally stabilized. The stable vortex began to rotate slowly. Then, its center suddenly collapsed and converged rapidly. In no time, a star, shining as brightly as the most brilliant star in the night sky, appeared within Feifei's Star Palace.

Wang Lan slowly withdrew his hand, his face pale and covered in sweat.

He looked at Feifei with utter shock in his eyes.

What kind of monster was this? With Wang Lan's current Star Power, healing even three dying individuals consecutively would have been as easy as flipping his palm. Yet, healing Feifei had consumed all his Star Power in just a single minute.

Furthermore, as the one who had personally assisted Feifei in opening her Star Palace, Wang Lan could clearly sense the immense, surging Star Power contained within her star.

Though she was only at the Starlight Stage, the sheer volume of her Star Power was almost comparable to his, a mid-stage Star Shine Stage warrior. Such a high starting point and such formidable talent made Wang Lan feel an urge to weep in frustration.

He already had his 'cheats,' but he hadn't expected to meet someone whose 'cheats' were even more outrageous than his own.

Indeed, this world was never short of 'cheaters'; the only difference lay in who was more ruthless. Someone like Jiang Xinyu, whose 'cheats' were still somewhat 'dignified,' simply had high talent and good resources.

Someone like Wang Lan, with his 'cheats,' was utterly shameless. And now, this 'cheater' Feifei—if you asked her if she had any shame, she'd probably retort, 'Shame? What's that? It doesn't exist.'

Wang Lan released his hand, but the Star Energy Fluctuation around Feifei's body did not dissipate. Suddenly, Feifei's skin turned jade-like. Large patches of bone-like material began to appear on the surface of her skin, and in the blink of an eye, it covered her entire body as if she were wearing true exoskeletal armor.

"It doesn't hurt anymore... Brother, I don't hurt anymore! I'm better... My illness is gone!" Feifei exclaimed, leaping up from the bed with a WHOOSH.

At that moment, she felt no pain in her waist or legs. Her body was brimming with energy, and she felt clear-headed and invigorated. She even felt she could run like the wind and was as light as a swallow.

But... Feifei's appearance at this moment was quite terrifying.

Can you imagine something resembling a skeleton, encased in bone, leaping about and yelling excitedly on the bed?

CREAK—

The door to the hospital room was pushed open, and a nurse entered, pushing a medical cart.

Then, she looked up and saw a skeleton 'dancing' on the hospital bed. The nurse froze for a second, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted dramatically. If not for the fact that everyone else in the room had witnessed how this all happened and were thus less terrified, anyone else would have found it unbearable.

The middle-aged man in the adjacent hospital bed quickly covered his recently awakened elderly father's eyes, afraid that if his father caught even a glimpse of the scene in the next room, he might just pass away on the spot.

"Feifei, get down from there first!" Wang Lan quickly called out. "Try to control your Star Power. See if you can make this exoskeleton retract."

"Huh? What's this growing on me? Huh? What is this stuff?"

"When one has just awakened their Star Martial Warrior Talented Skills, it's initially difficult to control them. You'll need some time to get used to it," Jiang Xinyu said calmly, moving to Wang Lan's side. "When I first awakened as a Star Martial Warrior, a single sneeze from me nearly killed someone."

"I'll do it." Wang Lan reached out, took Feifei's hand, and guided her Star Power with his own.

The effect was immediate. The exoskeletal material on Feifei's body quickly began to break down and gradually receded into her flesh.

Once all the exoskeletal material had vanished, Feifei's hand not only returned to normal, but the previous stone-like hardness was also gone.

Now, Feifei was just a perfectly normal, healthy little girl.

"There, mission accomplished," Wang Lan said with a smile, gently patting Feifei's cute, bald little head. "Feifei, your illness is completely cured. You can go back to school happily, and just like your brother, you can become a powerful Star Martial Warrior."

Curing a strong little girl, reward 100 experience points, 5 skill points.

Wang Lan heard the system prompt in his mind. This reward was trivial to him, but it was even more insignificant compared to seeing the little girl healthy and recovered.

"I'm really cured? Does that mean I can go home now?" Feifei looked hopefully at Director Li among the crowd.

"If this young man says you're cured, then you definitely are. Feifei, get your clothes on now, don't catch a cold."

"That's great! Dad, Mom, I want to go home! I miss home so much..." Feifei cried, stretching out her hands. One of them transformed into a sharp Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

"Ah!"

"Don't get too excited! You need to learn to control your Star Power quickly, or you won't be able to go to school," Wang Lan said hastily.

Jiang Xinyu shot him an almost imperceptible sidelong glance, recalling how, eight years ago, a sneeze had gotten her temporarily expelled from school, forcing her to stay home for a month.

"Wang Lan, thank you!" Hu Qing said gravely to Wang Lan. "Words cannot express my gratitude for this great kindness. In the future, if you need me to go through fire or water, I will do so without a second thought."

"You should be thinking about your future now," Wang Lan said with a calm smile. "Feifei is cured and has also awakened. Your family should strive for a new life. What are your plans? Raising one Star Martial Warrior is difficult enough, let alone two."

"I had some thoughts before but couldn't spare them much attention. Now, however, I really need to plan properly.

"When I was discharged from the army, my old squad leader had a good suggestion: he told me to become a security officer. Although cases involving Star Martial Warriors are handled by the Tianjian Bureau, the regular police precincts also need the strength of Star Martial Warriors. I think with my status as a Star Martial Warrior and my commendations from my time in the army, I should be able to get a position as a security officer."

"A security officer, that's great! Punishing villains and eliminating evil, becoming a guardian of the people—it certainly doesn't disgrace the status of a Star Martial Warrior. I have high hopes for you. Good luck!"

"Mm."

"It's getting late, so we'll take our leave. Little Feifei, this big brother will come see you again when I have the chance."

"Young man, Feifei's illness is cured. This money, you..."

"Uncle, Feifei has just recovered, and your family will need some money for urgent needs, so please don't be so formal with me. We're leaving!"

Wang Lan gave a suave wave of his sleeve, turned, and departed with Jiang Xinyu.

"I didn't realize you were actually quite kind-hearted."

"Didn't realize? I've known you for so long, and you still haven't discovered my kindness?" Wang Lan retorted, feigning heartache.

"I..." Jiang Xinyu was rendered speechless. Is this guy's brain made of wood?

"Is there a great sense of accomplishment in helping others?"

"Not really. I'm used to it."

"Used to it?"

"Yeah."
