79: New Skills (Part 1)

Tang Ku could no longer remember how many Wolf-Head Warriors he had eliminated; in fact, since a moment ago, no Iron Fist Points had been added to his account.

Each Wolf-Head Warrior he punched into pieces would probably grant him 0.001 Iron Fist Points.

However, after he killed ten thousand Wolf-Head Warriors, the Iron Fist Points stopped increasing. In other words, he gained a total of 10 Iron Fist Points in this battle.

Adding the previously acquired Iron Fist Points, Tang Ku now had 21 Iron Fist Points.

But even though the Iron Fist Points were no longer increasing, Tang Ku found that his actual combat skills were becoming stronger and stronger.

"One should be content. If Iron Fist Points aren't increasing, then so be it. This is a great opportunity to hone my combat skills. So many targets, enough for me to fight for a while!"

Tang Ku fought with fervor, unleashing the Great Wilderness Divine Fist. Each punch was fiercer than the last, and in a flash, he had already slain one hundred thousand.

Anubis's Wolf-Head Warriors were said to number a million, but that was a skill he could only unleash in his most perfect state. And as long as the Wolf-Head Warriors were killed, one would turn into two, until the million limit was filled before they would truly start dying.

However, Anubis had been engaged in a life-and-death battle with Yang Jian earlier, so his energy was limited and he couldn't control so many people simultaneously. Therefore, he set the upper limit at 100,000.

Once the Wolf-Head Warriors reached 100,000, any further kills would result in a negative growth; there would be no more opportunities for them to increase!

In other words, subsequent kills meant they were truly dead.

Therefore, the number of Wolf-Head Warriors Tang Ku killed was definitely more than 100,000!

Boom!

Anubis was sent flying, and Tang Ku had not used his full strength in that punch.

Anubis coughed up blood, his injuries far more severe than those inflicted by Yang Jian earlier!

As soon as Anubis replaced the Wolf-Head Warriors, Tang Ku immediately spotted him. After all, the Spiritual Awareness Eye was no ordinary skill; a quick glance was enough to find him. Although his appearance didn't differ much, his aura was much stronger than the weaklings surrounding him.

When Anubis extricated himself from the rock, Tang Ku had already reappeared before him, chuckling, "Your little minions are of no great use. Now it's your turn!"

Anubis was on the verge of tears. The strength of these individuals had exceeded his expectations. In fact, when he had guaranteed his Great Leader that he would complete the mission, he had never imagined these people would be this powerful.

"I still need to find an opening to escape, otherwise, if I'm surrounded, there will be no room for maneuver!"

"Don't even think about escaping…" Tang Ku smiled, then looked at his attribute points and the Iron Fist Points he had acquired, pondering how to allocate them. "I'll agree to one thing: I'll fight you alone. If you win, I'll let you go. How about it?"

Anubis was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Is that true? What if I lose?"

"Heh heh, you should know what happens if you lose. Do I need to say more?"

Tang Ku smiled.

Anubis had already raised his scimitar and sharply said, "Good, if you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Although Tang Ku's combat power seemed terrifying, compared to the three-eyed one in the sky and the one with many arms, he was much more benevolent. So, Anubis believed this deal was worth taking.

A dazzling Saber Qi suddenly slashed at Tang Ku, but other than a large shower of sparks, it caused him no injury.

Needless to say, Tang Ku would naturally not hold back. However, before acting, he needed to consider how to use the 21 Iron Fist Points he had.

Currently, his physical combat data was: Intelligence 20, Strength 30, Skill 20, Agility 20, Speed 20, Defense 30. So, he now had two opportunities to push a certain stat to a whole number.

He had been wondering whether to push the two 30-point stats to 40 points, or to continue making other points into whole numbers to achieve a more balanced combat power!

After some thought, the 'hexagonal warrior' plan seemed relatively more reliable.

Tang Ku smiled and added both Skill and Agility to 30 points!

"Congratulations, Host! Skill has achieved a Breakthrough to a whole number. The System rewards a new skill: Illusory Void Force (Evolvable Ability). Keep up the good work! (Being a tank isn't the only path; sometimes being a marksman isn't bad either!)"

"Congratulations, Host! Agility has achieved a Breakthrough to a whole number. The System rewards a new skill: Illusory Buddha Clone (Evolvable Ability). Keep up the good work! (You can't hit me, you can't hit me, you can't hit me… Oh, but I can give you a black eye, how exhilarating!)"

Tang Ku's mouth twitched for a moment: "This System is getting more and more unruly! However, these two rewarded skills are truly excellent!"

At this moment, his physical combat data had changed to: Intelligence 20, Strength 30, Skill 30, Agility 30, Speed 20, Defense 30.

Remaining Iron Fist Points: 1.

The nerve endings in his body seemed to have become much more sensitive. He now seemed able to perceive all special changes in the air—the humidity, temperature, radiation from various objects, and various dust particles and suspended matter—all seemed to be felt by his skin. After these two stats were strengthened to 30 points, they seemed to trigger some kind of chemical reaction, making his sense of touch incredibly acute.

As his right hand moved through the air, he could even feel how much dust and microorganisms he had caught on his palm.

This almost illusory sensation, however, made him truly feel the terrifying energy brought by Anubis's Saber Qi from across the way!

Clenching his fist, the Great Wilderness Divine Fist was unleashed with the technique of Illusory Void Force. A barely visible ripple appeared in the air, but it genuinely transmitted energy and a shockwave. A violent explosion suddenly occurred in mid-air as the Saber Qi collided with the fist force, both instantly vanishing into nothingness.

"Oh, so that's what it is. The so-called Illusory Void Force is actually a combat technique that transforms one's own attack into a long-range attack, capable of truly transmitting my force, and… it also has an amplification effect. In other words, I can completely use a more energy-saving method to achieve effects that would normally only be possible in close combat…"

Anubis from across the way had already charged forward. All the remaining Wolf-Head Warriors outside suddenly turned into a pile of sand, then gathered towards Anubis. And he himself transformed into his true form… a massive monster with a wolf head and human body, about three meters tall.

And as the sand condensed on his body, it caused him to rapidly increase in height to over six meters, eventually reaching over ten meters.

He was seen holding a giant scimitar like a building, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, as he fiercely slashed down towards Tang Ku. This time, it was truly earth-shattering, the sun and moon losing their light. The swirling sandstorm not only turned all the surrounding trees into sand, shattering them into true sand, but even the sky lost its color, and the sun became dim.

"Hmm, in that case, let's try the Illusory Buddha Clone!"

Tang Ku smiled slightly, and a golden light shone from his body.
