30: Six times amplitude

Shi Jingmo’s mouth twitched. “Actually, I can handle it!”

Yang Jian put away his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade and spread his hands. “Then you should have acted faster. Only a fool waits for the opponent to unleash their ultimate attack before making a move!”

Shi Jingmo was startled, then stammered, “So, when we used to wait for our opponents to make their move, it was… a very foolish act?”

“What do you think?” Yang Jian rolled his eyes. “This is war. As the saying goes, ‘all is fair in war.’ If you fight head-on with real blades and guns during a battle, that’s a martial arts competition! Since there’s a shortcut, why shouldn’t we take it?”

“That makes sense!” Shi Jingmo exclaimed in shock. “So there’s still this kind of combat method in the world!”

Yang Jian was equally shocked. “What kind of world did you live in before? Are the people there really that naive?”

Shi Jingmo cleared his throat and said, “Hmm, let’s see if Master needs help. His enemies seem quite numerous, and the leader has very strong attack power!”

A gleam flashed in the eye on Yang Jian’s forehead, and he immediately laughed. “Don’t worry about him. Strong attack power just means you need to dodge. In fact, he’s currently like a scythe cutting down leeks, knocking down those armored warriors one by one! However, these guys don’t look very strong, but they are very resilient. Your Master has to aim for their weak points; it takes two or three punches to take one down!”

Shi Jingmo slowly said, “The leader is named Spartacus, the strongest gladiator of the Roman Empire, and his subordinates are all slave soldiers. Originally, no matter how strong they were, they were still within the realm of Mortals. Their current state is all due to that ‘Lord’ pulling strings!”

“Let’s go, let’s take a look. We need to research what method he used to boost people’s physical attributes to such an extent! According to your Master, this is a bit unscientific!”

Yang Jian flew up, and together with Shi Jingmo, headed towards Tang Ku’s battlefield.

At the edge of Flaming Mountain, Tang Ku moved agilely among the Roman warriors. Hundreds of people attacked, yet they couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes.

The combat power of these warriors was basically at the level of a Loose Immortal, but their defense was very strong, each possessing the level of an Earth Immortal. In other words, their overall strength was not as good as Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, but one of their attributes was much higher than Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Speaking solely of defense, their values were all above 40!

“In other words, they are tanks, the kind with high HP and defense… But this Spartacus is truly formidable. Is that sword of his also some kind of Divine Sharp Weapon?”

Tang Ku knocked down a Roman warrior with three punches, then turned and sent the approaching Spartacus flying with a single punch. But that guy wasn’t honest even while flying; the Western longsword in his hand suddenly flashed with dozens of red lights, and Sword Qi, as if free, covered Tang Ku.

Fortunately, his current physical attributes were already very strong, and with the protection of the jinlan kasaya, he actually withstood this level of attack head-on.

“Over 80 attack power is no joke; even with my Golden Body, it’s tough to take head-on…”

However, Tang Ku calculated and found that after this battle, he had actually gained another 5 Iron Fist Points. Adding the points from when he subdued Shi Jingmo earlier, his total points reached 9.

“Should I add to Intelligence? My strength has basically reached a certain balance now. The only attribute that can be increased to a round number of 20 points is Intelligence…”

Tang Ku thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and directly allocated five points to Intelligence, finally raising his Intelligence to 20 points.

“Congratulations, Host, your Intelligence has broken through to a round number. The System rewards you with a new skill, Spiritual Awareness Eye. Please continue to work hard (You finally don’t have to fight only with your fists; occasionally using your brain is good for your mind and body!)”

Since he had a new skill, it would be foolish not to use it!

The Spiritual Awareness Eye suddenly activated, and all the details of the entire battlefield were imprinted in his mind.

“So… Spiritual Awareness Eye means this… Hmm, wait, isn’t this the Wisdom Eye among the Five Eyes and Six Supernormal Powers? The Wisdom Eye that can see through all illusions!”

That’s right, although the opponents were numerous and seemed to be arranged in some kind of battle formation, their weaknesses were too obvious, and under the Wisdom Eye, many flaws could be seen on each of them.

Suddenly flashing, his fist slammed into the side of a sneaking soldier’s neck… Tang Ku saw a semi-red mark on the side of his neck, as if inviting him to strike there.

Then…

Boom!

The soldier immediately fell to the dust, unable to get up again!

“This is their weakness?”

He looked up at Spartacus, who had flown down from mid-air again, yelling and covering Tang Ku with Sword Qi.

The Immortal-God version of Lingbo Weibu suddenly activated. Guided by the Spiritual Awareness Eye, he actually saw through the attack positions of all the Sword Qi and managed to slip out through the gaps.

Spartacus finally landed on the ground. At this moment, his mind seemed a bit clearer, because he sensed danger approaching.

That’s right, danger. His perception was very strong. Just now, this bald monk was fighting in a head-on, brute-force manner, and suddenly he became so slippery. There must be a conspiracy.

Therefore, he raised his vigilance to the highest level, staring at Tang Ku warily.

And Tang Ku, like strolling in a leisurely garden, dodged all the warriors and his Sword Qi attacks, and suddenly arrived in front of him.

“I’ve never unleashed the full power of these War God Gauntlets before. Today, I’ll use you as a sacrifice!”

On his right fist, golden lines suddenly formed, taking the shape of a gauntlet, covering half of his arm. Immediately after, these golden lines actually reconstructed new structures, and in an instant, countless runes appeared. As these runes flashed with light, a golden, tangible gauntlet had already appeared on Tang Ku’s right hand.

The War God Gauntlets, whose strength amplification could reach over six times, and this amplification would increase with the user’s strength.

Not enough, but for now, six times was enough!

“Great Wilderness Divine Fist, Second Form, Heaven Shaking!”

Hum!

His fist vibrated slightly, then he punched into the air towards Spartacus.

The entire space, in that zero-point-five seconds, actually paused for an instant. Then, the space within a dozen meters in all directions was shattered into countless fragments, like broken glass, by that punch.

And Spartacus, caught in the storm, trembled in his heart and quickly retreated, but it was already too late.

The longsword in his hand suddenly shattered, and the breastplate on his chest was directly shattered by that punch, turning into countless starlight and disappearing into the air. His chest suddenly caved in a large amount, and a mouthful of fresh blood involuntarily spurted out, making him instantly wilt.

“Amitabha!”

Shi Jingmo and the other had just arrived nearby and witnessed this scene, only to hear the bald monk exclaim in shock, “I thought Master wasn’t that strong… Speaking of which, if he had used that move on me that day, would I still be alive?”
