The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 249: Chapter 246: Pentagonal Talent, All-Out Offense and Defense

As soon as they got back to school, Wei Nan, Sun Tao, and the others rushed eagerly to the Cultivation Field.

They were ready to test their five-dimensional attributes.

"Testing your five dimensions costs five credits!"

When they arrived outside the testing center, a student blocked their path.

He was a sophomore in charge of the testing center.

As he spoke, his eyes held a hint of cold arrogance.

"What the hell? We need credits just to test our five dimensions?"

Wei Nan said, his brow deeply furrowed.

"Of course. You think you can use it for free?"

"What? Don’t tell me you can’t even scrape together five credits. Just go back. Go do some missions to earn what you need, then come back!" the senior sneered.

Wei Nan glanced at him. "It’s just five credits, right? We’re testing. Come on, scan for them!"

The senior’s brow twitched as he picked up a scanner.

He scanned it over Wei Nan’s wristband.

With a soft BEEP,

five credits were deducted. Only then did the senior drop his arrogant demeanor.

"Go in one at a time. Other upperclassmen are inside to help you with the test!"

Wei Nan ignored him, pushing the door open and walking right in.

Less than ten minutes later,

Wei Nan emerged with a happy expression on his face.

"How was it?"

"I have a strength-based talent. Perfect for Martial Arts like unarmed combat and the broadsword!"

Wei Nan replied with a light laugh.

Hearing this, Zhou Qi and Sun Tao grew eager to try it for themselves.

After they each paid their five credits and went in,

they came out with a new brightness in their eyes.

Clearly, they had all found their own cultivation paths and had already decided which Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques they wanted to learn.

Soon, Lin Yi was the only one left.

Wei Nan asked, "Aren’t you going to get tested?"

Lin Yi hadn’t planned on getting tested. His training was eclectic.

He knew a bit of everything—fist techniques, palm styles, even some blade and spear work.

It didn’t matter which one he leaned toward.

Still, after a moment’s thought, he decided he was curious about his five-dimensional attributes after all.

So he, too, paid the five credits, pushed the door open, and went inside.

The person in charge of testing inside was an upperclassman, a girl.

She was wearing a white lab coat and sitting behind a computer.

In the middle of the room stood a large apparatus.

"Just stand in front of the machine," she said.

"Okay!"

Lin Yi nodded. The machine had a concave design.

You walked into the indented space, stood still, and a scanner would do the rest.

You didn’t have to do a thing; it would immediately calculate your five-dimensional attributes.

Lin Yi did as she said and stood before the machine.

After red beams of light had scanned his body several times,

he suddenly heard the upperclassman let out a soft "Huh?"

"Is it done?"

Lin Yi looked at her, finding her reaction odd.

"It’s done. Come take a look."

Lin Yi walked up behind her and looked at the five-dimensional results displayed on the computer screen.

Strength, Power, Defense, Spirit, Agility...

All five attributes were perfectly balanced, and their values were all incredibly high.

His Power and Spirit were particularly high, the best among the five attributes.

But looking at the overall picture, Lin Yi didn’t have any weak areas.

Every attribute value was very high...

"I’ve never seen five-dimensional attributes like this before. They’re so balanced!" the upperclassman said, amazed.

Lin Yi smiled. "Does this mean I can pursue all-around development?"

"Of course. But my advice would be to focus on developing your spiritual talent as much as possible.

Your aptitude for Spirit is slightly higher than the others."

"That said, you wouldn’t have any problem choosing fist techniques, leg techniques, or blade arts."

"You have more than enough Strength and Power."

"You could learn any Martial Art you want."

"You... you’re what you’d call an all-around talent. You can attack, you can defend!"

After she finished, Lin Yi nodded with a small smile.

"Alright. Thank you, senior. I’ll head out now."

"Okay!"

Seeing Lin Yi leave politely, she turned her gaze back to the computer screen, studying it intently.

After a long while, she still found Lin Yi’s five-dimensional attributes unbelievable.

She was a junior and had been working in the testing center since her freshman year.

But she wasn’t just doing it for free.

It was a way to earn credits.

Each test cost five credits; she got two, and the guy outside got one.

So, it was an easy, low-stress job with a pretty good payout.

When it came to earning credits, at least, nobody made more than she did.

When Lin Yi walked out of the center,

Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and the others all crowded around him.

"Well? Which talent is your highest?"

Eager eyes were fixed on Lin Yi.

He smiled. "Balanced!"

"Balanced? What does that mean?"

"It means none of them are that different. They’re all about the same."

"Damn, so is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Wei Nan was completely baffled.

The others were just as stunned.

It was the first time they had heard of someone having balanced five-dimensional attributes.

Lin Yi was a first for them.

He smiled. "The upperclassman said I can pursue all-around development."

"So that means you can practice anything?"

"That doesn’t sound like a good thing, does it? If you don’t have a specialty, no outstanding talent in any of the five dimensions, then what was the point of even getting tested?"

"It’s fine. I know a bit about unarmed combat and all that."

"I’m also pretty proficient with blades and spears. I’ll just take it one step at a time. Maybe in the future, I can train them all to their peak and master every form of martial art, right?"

After Lin Yi finished speaking with a smile,

Wei Nan and the others also relaxed.

In any case, they had all found their own cultivation direction, except for Lin Yi.

Although his five-dimensional attributes were balanced,

in their eyes, Lin Yi was an anomaly.

His terrifying talent for cultivation

left them all in the dust, and that was more than enough.

"Let’s head to the library, then. I hear we can learn Martial Arts there?"

"Sounds good. Let’s see if I can find a martial art that suits me..."

Laughing and chatting, the group left the Cultivation Field and headed straight for the library.

...

Martial Arts Alliance Conference Room.

The seven elders were gathered here once again.

Including Yi Nanshan.

But his face was grim, and he remained silent.

Old Yao, however, glanced at him from the corner of his eye from time to time.

He sighed inwardly before speaking. "I trust you’ve all heard about the recent events in the New District?"

"Lao Yi, I mainly want to clear up this misunderstanding with you."

"Heh... a misunderstanding?"

Yi Nanshan sneered.

"This whole thing is a massive misunderstanding. I can tell you unequivocally: the mental attack on your grandson was not my doing, nor was it the work of the Martial Arts Alliance!"

Hearing this, Yi Nanshan opened his eyes and glanced at him.

"Then you tell me, besides the Martial Arts Alliance, who else could it be?"

Old Yao sighed softly. "If I said someone set this up on purpose, would you believe me?"

Yi Nanshan remained silent, waiting to hear Old Yao’s explanation.

If he was saying this, he must have had some leads.

Besides, he was no longer as furious about the recent mental attack on Lin Yi as he had been.

The Town Martial Department had responded by cracking down hard on the smaller families, with the Yao Family being the primary target.

While it didn’t cripple them, it taught them to tuck their tails between their legs and behave.

It also re-established the Town Martial Department’s authority, which made them all quiet down considerably.

All in all, it was a beneficial outcome that served multiple purposes.

Most importantly, Lin Yi hadn’t suffered any real harm from the incident.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yi Nanshan to be sitting here so calmly, having a meeting with them.

"Although I haven’t yet found out who is pulling the strings behind the scenes,

their goal is to make us fight among ourselves!"

"And this person is very likely within our Martial Arts Alliance!"

"He understands the issues between us and used Lin Yi specifically to incite conflict!"

"They want to sit back and reap the rewards while we destroy each other!"

"Of course, maybe they have other motives that I haven’t been able to uncover yet."

"Lao Yi, we’ve known each other for a long time, haven’t we?"

"We both know what kind of men we are; I don’t need to spell it out."

"I, Yao Tong, might do things in an extreme way, but I have always acted for the good of the Martial Arts Alliance and the New District!"

"This business with your grandson, Lin Yi... I admit I was too hasty."

"Those exotic beasts in the Restricted Area are getting restless!"

"The army defending the Restricted Area sends reports daily. Those exotic beasts can barely be contained!"

"The only person who can solve this crisis is the Martial God!"

"I’m anxious too! I don’t want to watch the New District turn into a battlefield, and I especially don’t want the hundreds of millions of people in the New District to become food for those exotic beasts!"

"This is our only home. If it falls, where will we go?"

"That’s why I came up with that plan. But my original intention was never to provoke disputes and infighting between our families!"

"The only ones who will suffer from that are ourselves!"

After Old Yao finished speaking,

Yi Nanshan turned and looked at him.

After a long moment, he let out a heavy sigh.

His gaze swept over the other five men.

His expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Whether there’s a traitor in the Martial Arts Alliance or not, what does that have to do with me?"

"Lin Yi is my grandson, and he is Xiaoqing’s only child!"

"As long as I draw breath, I will see him protected. If anyone dares to plot against him again—if they so much as *think* about it—they’ll have to answer to the Yi Family first!"

BANG—

Yi Nanshan slammed his palm down hard on the conference table.

CRACK...

The conference table, which was made of a special material,

had a corner snapped clean off by Yi Nanshan’s single palm strike.

Instantly, the other six men couldn’t help but frown.

Someone even gasped, sucking in a sharp breath.

’Lao Yi’s cultivation realm seems to have improved quite a bit.’

’To break the corner of the table with a single palm strike? How many of the seven of us in this room could do that?’

While they stared in astonishment, Yi Nanshan rose to his feet.

He left the conference room without another word.

A piercing pressure lingered in the room, hanging over the few old bastards who were left staring in shock.
