93: Life-saving mouth cannon
Darwin's body was pierced, with a large hole from his chest to his back.
However, Tang Ku retreated five or six meters with a serious expression, looking at the old man warily.
The greatest advantage of the System was its ability to provide real-time feedback on Iron Fist Points.
Just now, from the start of his battle with the Giant Spirit God's body until he defeated Cardia, including both taking hits and dealing blows, he had gained a total of 4 Iron Fist Points.
Combined with the 1 point he had remaining, his available points had now reached 5.
Logically, according to the System's judgment, a guy as strong as Darwin should have given him at least 3 Iron Fist Points from that punch.
However, that single punch didn't earn him a single Iron Fist Point.
Looking at his chest, which hadn't shed a single drop of blood, Tang Ku knew that the punch had missed its mark and hadn't harmed the opponent in the slightest.
"Your body..." Tang Ku suddenly realized, "Could it have undergone some kind of modification?"
Darwin's eyes lit up: "You are indeed intelligent. That's right. Ever since I awakened under my Lord's power, I have studied almost all the knowledge of biology and medicine in the world.
Through advanced technological modifications and research into the cultivation System of Chinese civilization, I finally transformed my body into its current state... Hmm, if we're talking about the strength of the physical body alone, I should be able to rank among the top five in the entire Universe.
However, besides strength, there are other things... I have explored bio-technology for many years and finally found the true secret of living beings, which is the Power of Law... my unique Power of Law!"
"Law? Are you already..."
Preliminary exploration of Law belongs to Immortals and Saints, mastering the Power of Law belongs only to Quasi-Saints, and creating one's own unique Law, even using one's own Power of Law to draw inferences and master more Laws, is undoubtedly the Saint Realm!
Could it be that the current Darwin was already...
"Heh heh, young man, do you still want to try attacking me?"
Darwin's chest wound was shocking, but he still looked at Tang Ku with a gentle smile, "I see you're quite intelligent, and your understanding of power and biology is unique.
Why don't you become my Disciple? I can impart all the knowledge I possess to you, allowing you to become a true ultimate powerhouse after me.
With your Aptitude, you might even reach the level of our Lord..."
"Heh heh, are you genuinely trying to recruit me, or are you deliberately stalling for time?" Tang Ku suddenly thought of something, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Is your experiment... almost complete?"
"Hmm, a bit of both!" The old man laughed, "You're right, the experiment is almost complete, and it seems... even more perfect than expected... Hmm, of course, I genuinely want to recruit you too.
How about... you consider it?"
"I am a Buddhist Disciple!"
Tang Ku clasped his hands together, "Tang Sanzang, I think you must have heard that name!"
Darwin suddenly realized, "You mean, the one from the journey to the west in Chinese civilization? Heh heh, he's a respectable person, but... are you really not considering changing allegiances?"
Tang Ku said, "That depends on whether you have the ability to convince me.
If you can defeat me, perhaps I'll consider it!"
"What a stubborn Monk!"
Darwin laughed, "But, throughout my life, besides biological modification, I have no skill in fighting people.
My only skill is... killing!"
The wound on his chest slowly healed, and even his clothes showed no damage.
Tang Ku was startled, but then saw Darwin extend his right index finger and slowly point it towards him.
That's right, he just pointed it over.
When he made his move, he was still several meters away, but the instant his finger fully extended, he was already in front of Tang Ku, and that finger had already touched Tang Ku's chest.
"Danger... I might really die!"
Tang Ku was startled, and the Turtle Shell Divine Skill operated at full power, enveloping his entire body.
He firmly believed in the System's products, after all, since coming to this world, the defensive power of the Turtle Shell Divine Skill had never disappointed him!
However... this seemed to be of no use.
Taking a hit only added one point of defense, and it was impossible to reach 10 hits of counter-damage, so the Turtle Shell Divine Skill's attribute simply didn't trigger.
What was more fatal was that this finger, like popping a bubble, easily pierced the green light on the surface of the Turtle Shell Divine Skill, and then forcefully poked Tang Ku's chest.
Clang!
Golden light bloomed, and the energy of the Vajra Zen Skill erupted suddenly, barely blocking the finger, but it instantly shattered into countless fragments like a broken porcelain doll.
Boom!
Pfft!
A mouthful of old blood gushed out as if it were free.
Tang Ku made a decision in that instant, holding his breath and spitting it directly onto Darwin's face.
Darwin frowned slightly, and then his body instantly returned to its original position.
Struggling to stay conscious, Tang Ku slowly paused, shaking his head and saying, "Old man, are you a clean freak?"
Darwin, however, shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't like blood, but that doesn't mean I'm a clean freak.
Don't forget, I'm a biologist; I won't completely detest these things."
"But you don't know what my Tang Sanzang's blood represents!"
Tang Ku suddenly laughed, saying faintly, "As a biologist, if you knew that my flesh and blood could grant immortality to ordinary people, you wouldn't have dodged!"
...
Darwin was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and said, "That joke isn't funny!"
"Have you read 'journey to the west'?"
Tang Ku chuckled, "My Tang Sanzang's journey to the west was filled with demons who coveted this Poor Monk's body!
Whether they wanted my life or the female demons who wanted to copulate with me, it was all for this!
The so-called 'good person of ten lifetimes of cultivation' is not just talk... If you don't believe me, you can ask those former Heavenly Soldiers and Generals under your command, or go to the Demon Realm in the human world and inquire!"
Darwin frowned slightly: "Even if it's true, I can completely kill you first, and then..."
"Heh heh, after death, my cultivation will be gone, my Buddha Power will be gone, all karmic connections will be gone.
Taking any part of my flesh and blood will be useless!" Tang Ku said very confidently, "If you don't believe me, you can try to kill me... Hmm, of course, it seems your Lord doesn't want me to die either.
Why don't you try it and see?"
Darwin fell silent, then after a moment said, "I promise I won't kill you.
Are you willing to give me your flesh and blood for research?"
"Success!" Tang Ku secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally saved my life!"
