52: King Kong, 93!

Now that Lin Tianwei knew his shortcomings, he naturally had to reinforce them targetedly.

After a moment of thought, he ultimately chose to reinforce his Claws.

Since he was facing enormous mutated beasts, Lin Tianwei rarely had a chance to go for the throat.

Therefore, the unassuming Claws were more effective.

Talent: Claws (Normal) → Talent: Claws (Beginner)!

Talent: Claws (Beginner) → Talent: Claws (Intermediate)!

“Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading his Talent, his strength has significantly increased.”

These two Reinforcements almost completely depleted all of Lin Tianwei’s Talent fragments.

But he was confident that he was now invincible!

However, the feeling of having no reserves in his pocket made Lin Tianwei very unhappy.

So he decided to start hunting again.

To hunt some prey that could provide him with powerful Talents.

Those Talents were a waste on them; it was better to reinforce himself and become even stronger.

Tiger King, 19!

King Kong, 93!

Looking at the vastly disparate numbers on the scoreboard, this time, no one dared to underestimate Lin Tianwei, this inconspicuous Siberian Tiger.

Although King Kong was the second most powerful mutated beast in the entire Beast Arena.

Although the odds for Lin Tianwei versus King Kong were as high as 7:0.1.

Perhaps they had grown accustomed to the continuous miracles Lin Tianwei brought.

A large portion of the audience actually chose to support Lin Tianwei this time.

They wanted to see if he could create another miracle.

—

In the Arena.

Lin Tianwei cautiously observed the behemoth before him.

Though confident, he was not arrogant.

This was an absurdly large gorilla, its body rippling with muscles, exuding immense power.

No wonder it was called King Kong.

Although it was considerably smaller than the behemoth in the movie, it still reached a terrifying size.

Seven meters tall, just standing there, it exerted immense pressure.

Most importantly, Lin Tianwei actually saw a spark of intelligence in King Kong’s eyes.

This was definitely a rather clever mutated beast.

After a glance, Lin Tianwei and King Kong simultaneously launched their attacks.

Regardless of how they appeared on the outside, the true test lay in their actual combat.

Clearly, King Kong was also a melee-type mutated beast.

Lin Tianwei was just right to clash with it and see who was the true king of strength.

He extended his tiger paw.

Carrying immense force, he attacked King Kong.

This time, Lin Tianwei did not use his sharp Claws.

He intended to have a pure test of strength.

However, while he was willing to compete in strength, King Kong was not.

Its right hand shot out horizontally, directly grabbing towards Lin Tianwei’s tiger paw.

The most overpowered feature of primates was their unassuming hands.

They not only allowed them to use tools but also possessed the abnormal ability to grasp and pinch.

Once caught by King Kong, Lin Tianwei would definitely fall into a passive state unless he held an absolute advantage in strength.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei directly abandoned this attack.

He circled his body, evading King Kong’s grapple.

He would not naively believe that the massive King Kong would be weaker than him.

If he were that blindly confident, he would have been eaten by Black Fiend, bones and all.

Not only that, Lin Tianwei also discovered that King Kong’s reaction speed was incredibly fast.

It was in no way inferior to his own attack speed.

That’s why it could react immediately and counterattack him.

Facing an opponent superior in both strength and speed, even Lin Tianwei felt a severe headache.

In nature, the Siberian Tiger is indeed the king of the forest.

That’s because creatures larger than the Siberian Tiger aren’t as flexible as it.

And creatures smaller than the Siberian Tiger aren’t as strong as it.

But King Kong clearly did not fall into either category.

After a moment of thought, Lin Tianwei decided to employ a flanking tactic.

He would run, steal King Kong’s blind spots, and then look for an opportunity to attack.

He didn’t believe that his four legs couldn’t outrun King Kong’s two legs.

Even if it could move on all fours, King Kong, being a gorilla, clearly couldn’t be as flexible as him.

Running.

Chasing!

A silent battle, where advantage was built through running, began.

After a brief chase, Lin Tianwei finally seized the initiative, arriving behind King Kong.

This was King Kong’s blind spot.

Extending his Claws, Lin Tianwei intended to give King Kong a hard time with this newly upgraded weapon.

His body became a blur.

Lin Tianwei lunged, attacking King Kong.

The seven-meter-tall King Kong made it difficult for Lin Tianwei to attack its other vital points.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei chose to attack King Kong’s right leg.

Although it could also run on all fours, crippling one of King Kong’s legs would definitely greatly reduce its combat effectiveness.

Its ears twitched slightly, King Kong heard the whooshing sound of Lin Tianwei’s attack.

However, when facing Lin Tianwei’s attack, it chose to ignore it.

Clearly, it was very confident in its defense.

However, to Lin Tianwei’s surprise, his attack failed to cause much damage to King Kong.

It only added a few scratches to its right leg.

One must know that Lin Tianwei’s Claws Talent had been upgraded to Intermediate.

This meant that King Kong possessed at least an Intermediate-level defensive Talent.

Before Lin Tianwei could deliver another claw strike.

King Kong’s right hand clenched into a fist, and it fiercely punched towards Lin Tianwei behind him.

King Kong’s combat awareness was quite good; although stomping with its right leg seemed more convenient.

It could easily cause it to lose balance, which would be counterproductive.

Retreat?

Or continue attacking!

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei chose to endure King Kong’s blow and continue his assault.

Such a rare opportunity, once missed, would be difficult to find again.

Moreover, Lin Tianwei, possessing Flesh Armor, also had impressive defensive capabilities.

Rip.

Crack.

Almost simultaneously, two sounds rang out.

Lin Tianwei’s Claws tore open the wound he had just created.

In exchange, his arm was fiercely struck by King Kong.

Even with the protection of Flesh Armor, his bones emitted a cracking sound.

Using the force of that punch, Lin Tianwei quickly leaped backward.

He once again extended the distance between himself and King Kong to a relatively safe range.

A broken bone for three shallow wounds?

This exchange, under normal circumstances, would undoubtedly be a huge loss!

Fortunately, Lin Tianwei possessed a terrifying self-healing Talent, allowing him to recover from his injuries in a short time.

Aside from the energy consumed, it could barely be considered a small profit.

Coupled with the ability to test King Kong’s strength, it was a huge profit.

He could even feign weakness through his injuries to lure the enemy deeper.

The only pity was that King Kong behaved very cautiously.

Facing the attack from behind, it clearly held back some strength.

It was not blinded by victory, retreating immediately after its strike.

It turned its body, facing Lin Tianwei head-on.

It clearly knew that while its hands were flexible, facing an enemy from behind still put it at a disadvantage.

A slight misstep could lead to being restrained.

No one would have expected that within a mere half-minute.

Lin Tianwei had already completed a simple battle of strength and wits with King Kong.

Those unaware of the truth would only think that Lin Tianwei, exchanging serious injuries for minor ones, was utterly foolish.
