The bone-chilling frost relentlessly erodes Dark Tiger’s body, making him feel as if a thousand knives were stabbing into him.? Meanwhile, Dark Leopard, engaged in battle with Mandy, is shocked to see his elder brother’s condition.? He hadn’t expected that even a Level 10 ability user like Dark Tiger would struggle against David.? This fills him with anger, and with a shout, he charges towards Dark Tiger.
“Big Brother, I’ll save you!”? Dark Leopard raises his halberd and attempts to strike the frost on Dark Tiger’s body with all his might.? However, the frost proves too resilient, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t free his elder brother. 𝘦.𝘰𝘳𝑔
Dark Tiger anxiously waits for rescue, and upon seeing Dark Leopard’s helpless expression, his own anxiety intensifies.? He shifts his gaze to David once more, his eyes filled with a desperate will to survive.
David looks at him, his expression unchanged.? He can tolerate challenges from others, but repeated provocations and attempts to challenge him physically will lead him to break every bone in their bodies without hesitation.
This is a survival rule David learned in the post-apocalyptic world, and it’s a rule of the wasteland.? He looks at the panicked Dark Tiger and clenches his fist without hesitation.
“Bang!”? An explosion echoes as the frozen air around shatters into shimmering ice shards.? The shards dance through the air, reflecting David’s resolute expression as well as a hint of crimson blood.
It’s the blood of Dark Tiger, the second-in-command of the shadow city.? Even the fragments of his shredded flesh are scattered in the air.? With just a display of Absolute Zero, David obliterates Dark Tiger, a Level 10 lightning ability user.? The immense power of Absolute Zero surprises even David himself.
Staring at the blood in the air, Dark Leopard stands there in shock, wide-eyed and bewildered.? His expression shifts from arrogance to fear and panic, just like Dark Tiger’s had earlier.? He mumbles to himself, seemingly unable to believe what has transpired before his eyes.
Once he snaps back to reality, Mandy thrusts her trident into his ribs.? The trident, now enhanced with a bloodletting feature, acts like a conduit, continuously siphoning Dark Leopard’s blood.? Dark Leopard staggers, almost falling.? At this moment, he has no time to grieve his elder brother’s death.? His primary thought is still to escape;? if he can’t win, he’ll run.? It’s one of the survival tactics that has kept him alive until now.
Dark Leopard doesn’t even dare to look at David, gritting his teeth against the pain.? Suddenly, he transforms into two trails of black smoke, each fleeing in a different direction.? This is his self-preservation strategy, intentionally using his split body technique to prevent David, the god of death, from catching up easily.
At that moment, Dark Leopard might soon reunite with his elder brother.? Watching the two trails of smoke flee through the air, David has no intention of pursuing.? He spares Dark Leopard’s life because he wants to lure out the true leader of the shadow city.? This way, he won’t need to keep going back and forth;? he can stand his ground and eliminate his opponents as they come to him.
Approaching a chunk of Dark Tiger’s remains, David activates his extraction ability.
[Ding!? Congratulations, host, for extracting the Fist of a Thousand Pounds technique!? ]
Next, a technique hovers in the air in front of David.? “I didn’t expect you to be of some use,” David says with a chuckle.
[Ding!? The Fist of a Thousand Pounds allows the host’s attacks to carry the force of a thousand pounds!? ]
The system explains simply.? As he listens, David recalls his existing abilities like the Voidbreaker Fist and Absolute Zero.? This technique seems somewhat redundant for him.? Meanwhile, Mandy walks over to his side and stands silently nearby.? Looking at her, David has a sudden idea: Could she learn this technique?
Based on Mandy’s current attacking style, David knows that she relies entirely on physical combat, which is close-quarters combat.? This demands superior strength, punching speed, and technique to outmatch opponents.? If Mandy can master this technique, it will undoubtedly be a significant enhancement for her.
Although Mandy has just unlocked her consciousness and may not be ready to learn such a complex technique, David isn’t worried.? Because he has a system, he softly asks the system, “System, can you quickly teach Mandy the Fist of a Thousand Pounds?”
[Ding!? Host can spend three advanced pronucleus to enable the subject to master the Fist of a Thousand Pounds!? ]
Hearing this, David nods with satisfaction.? To him, anything involving spending crystal pronucleus isn’t a big deal.? He immediately follows the system’s guidance and expends three advanced pronucleus.
In the moment the pronucleus disappears, the suspended technique transforms into light and enters Mandy’s mind.? Mandy suddenly closes her eyes slightly, seemingly perceiving the information about the technique.? After a short while, she opens her eyes, which are now gleaming with brilliance.
“So quickly mastered?”? David is somewhat surprised by the speed.
Mandy seems to understand and nods slowly.? Then, she walks over to a massive rock.? Clenching her fist, she decisively strikes the rock, causing it to shatter into flying fragments.? Despite the rock weighing seven to eight hundred pounds, Mandy appears entirely at ease.
“Well done, Mandy!? From now on, you’re a true tomboy!”? Observing Mandy’s dominant and imposing demeanor, David gives her a thumbs-up as a form of praise.
Unexpectedly, Mandy’s face takes on a slightly unhappy expression upon hearing this.? She mutters a few awkward syllables, “Mandy…? is Little Sister.”
“Hahaha!”? David bursts into laughter.? He didn’t expect Mandy to be familiar with the term “Little Sister” or even to dislike being called a tomboy.
“Alright, from now on, you’re a ‘Little Sister’ who can knock out a bull with a single punch!”? David quickly corrects Mandy’s identity.? Mandy appears thoughtful for a moment, then nods happily.
“This silly girl, she can knock out a bull with a punch and still insists she’s not a tomboy?”? David chuckles softly.
While some are happy, others are troubled.? Just as David rejoices in Mandy mastering the Fist of a Thousand Pounds, Dark Leopard also manages to reach the shadow city on his last legs.? If he hadn’t exhausted himself in his desperate escape, his blood might have run dry by now.? He approaches Dark Dragon, astonishing him, as Dark Dragon was about to lead a pack of mutant beasts.
“Younger brother, what happened to you?? Where’s your elder brother?”? Dark Dragon quickly helps him up from the ground, his expression serious.
“Big brother, Second brother..? he was killed by that guy!”? Despite enduring the pain, Dark Leopard reports Dark Tiger’s death to Dark Dragon.
