I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 564 Drulu’s Body

Another evening descended into twilight at White Pagoda City Third Middle School, where Mr. Liu, exhausted from grading papers, lifted his head and glanced at the empty desk in the adjacent office.

Although the offices of the senior high school teachers weren’t connected, they shared a massive glass window. The end of the year was approaching, and the school was immersed in an intense year-end final review. At a time when all subject teachers were giving their classes a final push, Mr. Zhang had been on leave for four consecutive days.

It wasn’t just Mr. Zhang; Zhang Xiaotong had also been absent for four days. This couldn’t help but worry Mr. Liu.

Suddenly, the water cup on his desk began to tremble slightly, followed by violent shaking throughout the entire teaching building.

An earthquake? It must be. Cloud Sea Province is a frequent earthquake zone.

The group of teachers had barely managed to stand up when the entire building abruptly lost its gravitational anchor and plummeted downwards. Accompanied by screams, Mr. Liu was struck in the head by a collapsing desk and knocked unconscious.

If one looked down from high above White Pagoda City Third Middle School, one could witness a spectacular sight: building after building sank into the ground as if they were buttons being pressed down.

RING RING RING—

"The Scarlet Lotus Assassin has struck at White Pagoda City Third Middle School!"

Wang Lan quickly sat upright. The evil spirit finally couldn’t hold back any longer. "Mr. Zhang, Zhang Xiaotong, Xinyu, and Sky Walker—the four of you, go deal with the Scarlet Lotus Assassin. Be cautious. Given that the Scarlet Lotus Assassin is collaborating with the evil spirit, there’s a high probability he has acquired the Undying Body. You must be extremely careful."

"Understood!"

Emperor Bai, a smile on his face, watched Wang Lan giving orders with growing authority. Perhaps even Wang Lan himself hadn’t realized he was evolving from a front-line warrior into a true commander.

Of course, this commander was still very inexperienced. But with growth, Wang Lan was bound to become a qualified leader among the powerful.

The Tianjian Bureau had released information claiming they had found the White Lotus Sect and secured its treasure and its secrets. However, the Scarlet Lotus Assassin was still targeting Mr. Zhang’s school for destruction—a clear diversion tactic.

No matter the method, as long as they remained steadfastly by the evil spirit’s physical body, all its conspiracies and tricks would be futile.

When Mr. Zhang and the others arrived at the school, seeing every building buried underground, their eyes almost burst from their sockets with rage.

"Wang Wu, you—!"

"Well, well, if it isn’t the junior martial brother I’ve been longing to see... Why aren’t you hiding from me today?" The Scarlet Lotus Assassin stood atop the flagpole, his coat billowing violently in the fierce north wind.

Looking at the five people surrounding him, the corner of the Scarlet Lotus Assassin’s mouth curved up slightly. "So, you’ve brought help... But do you think you’re the only one who can summon assistance? Let’s see who has summoned more helpers—"

With a wave of the Scarlet Lotus Assassin’s hand, dozens of shadowy figures suddenly appeared around the school, each one lurking in the darkness like a Ghost.

Meanwhile, Wang Lan, Emperor Bai, and Yu Ruoyun stood on the rooftop of the Tianjian Bureau, gazing towards the distant school.

"We can now be certain this is the evil spirit’s ploy of luring the tiger away from the mountain," Emperor Bai said with concern. "But we don’t know if it’s a straightforward diversion or a double bluff. If the evil spirit actually appears there, our people will be in grave danger."

"No worries, Xinyu has the Qingkong Wood!" Wang Lan reassured.

BOOM—

A white pillar of light shot into the sky from afar, clearly visible even from tens of miles away.

The battle at the school was unexpectedly fierce. Zhang Xiaotong and Mr. Zhang simultaneously activated their White Lotus Bloom, while Jiang Xinyu successfully unleashed Supreme Goodness Like Water.

Sky Walker had initially thought that as a ’King-tier’ leading this team, he was guiding one ’Gold-tier’ and two ’Bronze-tier’ members. To his surprise, these current ’Bronze-tiers’ were more ferocious than he could have imagined. Particularly Zhang Xiaotong. Is this late-stage Star Sea warrior’s combat power for real? This isn’t some kind of joke, is it?

The Scarlet Lotus Assassin was formidable, but without the true inheritance of the White Lotus Sect, he was inherently no match for Mr. Zhang. Even after obtaining the Undying Body from the evil spirit, he now faced five experts, each stronger than Mr. Zhang.

Even his Undying Body wasn’t enough; they could kill him repeatedly.

"Evil spirit, if you don’t intervene, I’m going to die for real—!" The Scarlet Lotus Assassin cried out as Zhang Xiaotong punched him in the chest. Like a meteor, he plummeted from the sky and smashed heavily into the ground.

"I thought with your great reputation, you’d be of some use. Turns out... you’re so easily defeated." A mocking voice arose as a wisp of black smoke coalesced beside the fallen Scarlet Lotus Assassin, letting out a hoarse chuckle.

As the black smoke dissipated, a tall figure was revealed.

"How is this my fault? They’re simply too strong!" the Scarlet Lotus Assassin protested indignantly. He was a Star Sea Realm expert, after all, and even stronger with the Undying Body. It wasn’t that he was weak; his opponents were just too powerful.

"The evil spirit has appeared," Wang Lan said suddenly, his expression changing.

"Alright then, let’s go!"

Emperor Bai and Yu Ruoyun flanked Wang Lan, and in a flash, the three of them vanished.

"Enough talk. Watch how I truly kill."

As the voice faded, the figure of the evil spirit instantly appeared beside Jiang Xinyu. A blade materialized in its hand, swiftly aiming to decapitate her.

How formidable was the evil spirit? Even Wang Lan, exerting all his abilities, couldn’t harm it. The evil spirit’s power alone might slightly surpass that of the Five Emperors.

If Yu Ruoyun had been present, she might have been able to withstand the strike. But it was Jiang Xinyu facing this attack; against an opponent of this caliber, she had no time to dodge.

"Sunlight Sword Skill—!"

Suddenly, Jiang Xinyu raised her head, and a stream of Sword Qi shot out from between her brows. The Sword Qi, like a rainbow, clashed instantaneously with the incoming slash.

BOOM— 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The Sword Qi shattered, and the evil spirit’s slash exploded along with it. But the evil spirit’s killing move was far from over. The instant the first blade shattered, another blade, wielded by the evil spirit’s left hand, fiercely stabbed toward her lower abdomen.

Jiang Xinyu could block the overhead slash, but she definitely couldn’t block the piercing thrust to her abdomen.

In an instant, the space before Jiang Xinyu twisted, and Wang Lan’s figure materialized. The moment he appeared, he formed a sword seal with his fingers. A stream of Sword Qi burst forth from his fingertips, striking the evil spirit’s chest fiercely.

CRACK—BOOM—

The bone armor on the evil spirit’s chest instantly shattered. The Sword Qi then struck with full force, piercing through the evil spirit’s body.

BOOM—

The ground collapsed, a massive pit over ten meters wide appearing before them. The evil spirit’s body lay within the pit, twisted like mangled flesh.

Suddenly, the evil spirit’s body contorted and then reformed, standing unharmed in the pit. Its eyes swept over the three people on the pit’s edge. "So, you’re all here, are you? Wang Lan, Yu Ruoyun, and an old man with a white beard."

"Evil spirit, that’s Emperor Bai, one of the Jade Country’s Five Emperors! He’s one of the top experts in the Jade Country!" the Scarlet Lotus Assassin stammered, his voice trembling slightly.

"Is that so? Everyone’s arrived, then? Well, the plan over there can begin..." As it spoke, the evil spirit’s body rapidly turned to char. Smoke billowed up, and in the blink of an eye, it turned to ash and was utterly annihilated.

Watching this scene, the Scarlet Lotus Assassin, who had just begun to feel a sliver of hope, was instantly dumbfounded. What are you doing? What on earth are you trying to pull?

Wang Lan, however, instantly understood the evil spirit’s plan. Unfortunately for the evil spirit, it was unaware that Wang Lan possessed the ability of instantaneous movement; the ploy of luring the tiger away from its mountain was ineffective against him.

The moment the evil spirit turned to ash at the school, another version of it—this one in the form of a Demon Clan warrior—soared into the sky elsewhere. High above, this evil spirit raised its hand. The energy ball in its palm instantly expanded, swiftly becoming a powerful energy sphere ten meters in diameter.

The energy sphere plummeted, striking the Tianjian Bureau with immense force.

BOOM—

The ground trembled, and the heavens and earth shook.

After the white light dissipated, the center of the Tianjian Bureau was a ruin tens of meters in diameter, the pit at least ten meters deep.

"Listen up, you Tianjian Bureau bastards! Hand over my body, or else—!"

At that same moment, the air on the rooftop distorted, and Wang Lan, Emperor Bai, and Yu Ruoyun reappeared. The evil spirit looked down at the trio, a frown of displeasure instantly forming on its face.

Upon seeing the evil spirit’s current form, both Emperor Bai’s and Wang Lan’s expressions changed drastically.

"Impossible! Weren’t you destroyed?" Emperor Bai asked in horror, looking up at the evil spirit.

"No, that’s not Drulu!" Wang Lan exclaimed hastily.

"Oh? So, the original owner of this body was named Drulu?" the evil spirit mused, touching its new form. "No wonder Paradise Bird offered me a perfect body as a condition for our cooperation. I readily agreed when I saw it was the physique of a high-ranking Demon Clan member. It appears this body has caused you considerable trouble."

Watching the grim expressions on Wang Lan and the others, the evil spirit chuckled. "I’m very satisfied with this body. Although it can’t compare to my true form, it’s far stronger than a mere human body. Since I can’t lure you away, it doesn’t matter. After all... you can’t stop me from doing anything."

CRACKLE—

Instantly, Emperor Bai was enveloped in the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. His body transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky, throwing a punch at the evil spirit’s face.

The evil spirit raised a hand to block, and in a flash, both figures vanished from sight in their high-speed clash.

The evil spirit now inhabited Drulu’s body—or, more precisely, a clone created by Paradise Bird. However, the power the evil spirit currently wielded was significantly less than what Drulu originally possessed.

Just as the evil spirit itself said, a possessed body could never compare to the original. This current form was far inferior, even to its original, the notoriously unreliable Big Four Joy Balls sealed in amber.

Wang Lan and Yu Ruoyun exchanged a glance, and instantly, their bodies radiated intense light.

"Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious—!"

BOOM—

Individually, Wang Lan’s and Yu Ruoyun’s combat strengths were still a tier below the Five Emperors. However, when they activated Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious, their combined power neared the level of the Five Emperors.

The duo immediately joined the fray. While the evil spirit had been parrying Emperor Bai’s attacks with relative ease, the tables turned swiftly once Yu Ruoyun and Wang Lan entered the fight.

Wang Lan’s Zanpakuto, Jiang Xinyu’s Water Moon Sword, and Emperor Bai’s Thunderbolt Sword seemed to assail the evil spirit from all directions, invisible and intangible.

The slightest lapse in attention could result in a direct hit. Once the evil spirit was struck, its movements would be impeded, and its body would inevitably be blasted apart in the subsequent instant.

However, every time the evil spirit’s body was destroyed, it would resurrect perfectly in an instant, its strength undiminished.

This was a blatant cheat!
