The breakthrough to a new minor Realm hadn’t provided a huge boost in this regard. Once he cultivated to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, refining an Upper-Grade Magical Artifact would be much less taxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he wouldn’t feel this exhausted after concentrating on refining a single Upper-Grade Magical Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun infused Spiritual Power into the newly refined Profound Iron Shield to activate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The drain on my Spiritual Power is manageable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an Upper-Grade Magical Artifact, the boost from his one-star Combat Talent was no longer ridiculously overpowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the current Fang Yun, the Upper-Grade Profound Iron Shield was usable in combat, but not something he could wield with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To do so, he would either have to break through to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer or upgrade his one-star Combat Talent to two stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the beginning of this month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had drawn for Combat Talents twice, obtaining one Shield Talent fragment and one Sword Type Talent fragment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he needed just three more fragments to upgrade his Shield Talent to two stars, while his other Combat Talents each required five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting away the Upper-Grade Profound Iron Shield, Fang Yun left the advanced Artifact Refining Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When renting the Artifact Refining Room, Steward Cai might waive the fee if he went over by less than a two-hour period. But now, having gone over by half a day, he had to pay what was due.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rental fee came to six Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rental fee plus the cost of materials brought the total to nearly forty Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang Yun, how did it go?\" Steward Cai asked as soon as he saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The refining was a success.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right.\" Steward Cai nodded, looking as if he’d expected as much. \"Hurry back and get some rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steward Cai didn’t bother to inspect the new Upper-Grade Magical Artifact Fang Yun had refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His inspections were meant to point out shortcomings in Fang Yun’s Artifact Refining. But given Fang Yun’s track record, and the fact that he had just successfully refined an Upper-Grade Magical Artifact, the steward felt there was nothing left for him to teach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in his exhausted state, Fang Yun could still manage to move at a relatively high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really did need to get some proper rest now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The last day of December.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun appeared at Battle Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After today, this month’s Talent Points will be calculated. I can engage in a few rounds of Magical Combat, which will not only let me test the real-world performance of my Upper-Grade Magical Artifact but also earn me some more Talent Points.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infusing the Magical Artifact with Spiritual Power only gave him a general idea of its capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on past experience, Fang Yun could extrapolate a more accurate estimate of its performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to understand it in full detail, he’d have to test it in a few rounds of Magical Combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Fang Yun had accepted that his role in Magical Combat was purely defensive. Until someone could break through his guard, it was unlikely any disciple would engage him in a normal bout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he intentionally threw a match, it would be obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples who frequented Battle Peak were a sharp-eyed bunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is... Junior Brother Fang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Fang, are you booked for a match today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, looks like my luck is in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun had barely set foot on Battle Peak, not even having made his way up the mountain, and his first Magical Combat opponent of the day was already set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun was long used to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he arrived at Battle Peak, any Qi Refining Sixth Layer disciples who saw him would immediately challenge him to a match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against him, they could attack with their full strength without holding back, allowing them to hone their skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why his fame had grown so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making the arrangement with Fang Yun, this Qi Refining Sixth Layer Outer Sect Disciple followed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some Qi Refining Sixth Layer disciples who saw this felt it was a shame. If they had known Fang Yun would be at Battle Peak today, they would have lain in wait for him at the foot of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following procedure, they registered with the Steward and were assigned a Dueling Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two had barely stepped onto the Dueling Platform when a crowd of Sect Disciples from both the Inner and Outer Sects gathered below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, some had come to witness the so-called invincible defense of the \"Turtle Immortal,\" Fang Yun. Others were already poised to leap onto the platform and challenge him the moment this match concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun only ever engaged in three Magical Combat spars at most whenever he came to Battle Peak, and he didn’t visit the peak many times a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many Outer Sect Disciples at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer had yet to test Fang Yun’s defensive abilities for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching from below was one thing; facing him personally was another entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qu Gaomin, Qi Refining Sixth Layer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang Yun, Qi Refining Sixth Layer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had barely faded when Fang Yun released his aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a stir went through the crowd below the Dueling Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Fang is already at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer! I was hoping to see if I could break his defenses, but it looks like there’s no chance now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if Junior Brother Fang were at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, you wouldn’t have a chance.\" The one who spoke was Zhang Wenyu. He had sparred with Fang Yun in Magical Combat before and knew full well how formidable Fang Yun’s defenses were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their last Magical Combat spar, he had even invited Fang Yun to undertake a mission together, but unfortunately, Fang Yun already had a planting mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t say that. How would you know without trying?\" the disciple replied, confident in his own abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that confidence was against a Qi Refining Fifth Layer Fang Yun, not one at the Sixth Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking through a minor Realm, Fang Yun’s control over his Magical Artifacts must have reached a terrifying new level. This was the root of his despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down below the Dueling Platform, the way some of the Inner Sect Disciples looked at Fang Yun changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magical Combat hadn’t even officially begun, yet Fang Yun received a notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sect Influence 1%↑\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news of his breakthrough to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer had already spread among some circles of disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the disciples at Battle Peak had learned of his new Realm, combined with his previous accomplishments, his Sect Influence had finally risen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Talent Points are settled at the end of the day.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Yun’s current mood could be summed up in one word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Every percentage point increase in influence now brings me a handsome, double-digit return in Talent Points.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Fang, I’m about to begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qu Gaomin, who had once held a sliver of confidence that he could break through Fang Yun’s defenses, now felt that confidence completely evaporate as he faced the Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His primary purpose in challenging Fang Yun had always been to hone his own offensive skills; breaking through the defense was just a secondary goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentally, he was largely unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just a little surprised at how quickly Fang Yun had reached the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, that’s all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike previous matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, facing his opponent’s attack, Fang Yun’s first move was to summon his Upper-Grade Profound Iron Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the heat of battle, the performance of the Upper-Grade Profound Iron Shield was somewhat different than Fang Yun had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>",1341,"2026-06-06T00:02:43.385Z",1,"novelbin.me","5f078125d80b190242b09458a0b2563ba0b0ff24521aaf3d6fe19a9a34cdf3fc","i-can-upgrade-my-talent-infinitely-chapter-170","i-can-upgrade-my-talent-infinitely-chapter-169",294,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-upgrade-my-talent-infinitely-cover.jpg"]
