Neurolink System in the Modern World

As expected, the Zol Clan preferred long-distance attacks by summoning invisible hands to pierce the air and strike their enemies.

However, the Taoists were no slouches either; their senses were sharp, allowing them to dodge the invisible attacks.

Xiao led the Taoist group, his speed breaking the sound barrier as he surged forward. With smooth motion, he raised his fist, causing the air around him to converge with intense energy.

As he released his fist for a punch, a swirling vortex of energy materialized around it, drawing in surrounding air

BOOOOOOOM!

A thunderous, resounding explosion echoed through the air as Xiao Jiang's punch shattered the telekinetic barrier created by Zallon .

It was just a punch, but the sheer force behind it astounded even me.

There was something different about that strike .It was as if Xiao Jiang had tapped into a power that was familiar yet simultaneously distinct to me.

But as I watched the battle longer, a realization dawned on me.

The techniques used by the Taoists has the same principles to my Titan Gear, enhancing their physical abilities beyond the limits of their attributes.

However, the efficiency and mastery with which they utilized these techniques far surpassed my own. Explore more at empire

All this time, I had relied solely on the effects of some of my rarely used skills, neglecting to focus on enhancing my control over them. After all, I could simply level them up whenever necessary.

However, witnessing Xiao Jiang's dominating punches made me realize the error in my approach.

If I could wield such precise control over my abilities, then Zhang would have surely died in our first encounter, solely through the power of my Titan Gear.

The difference in our usage of abilities was staggering.

Even with my significantly higher base stats, I felt that Xiao Jiang's punches packed at least twice the impact .

And not only that, but even his movements were more refined. It was evident that he had dedicated considerable amount of practice to mastering close-quarters combat to such a high level of proficiency.

I continued to watch the battle intently, analyzing every aspect of his technique in an effort to decipher the secret behind his powerful punches.

With each strike, I observed the subtle nuances of his movements, the precision of his timing, and the focus of his intent.

Gradually, patterns began to emerge, revealing the intricate mechanics behind his formidable attacks.

With each passing moment, I absorbed more insights.

And then.

'I got it,' I muttered to myself, a grin spreading across my face.

As I clenched my fist, I felt the energy inside me converging, a surge of power waiting to be unleashed.

But instead of unleashing it all at once, I kept it contained, calmly keeping the power in the palm of my hand.

With each open and close of my palm, I shifted the energy from low to high frequency, building up the force until it burst forth in a powerful explosion.

This technique wasn't limited to just punches; I could apply it to some of my attacks, enhancing their power and effectiveness.

It might sounded easy coming from me, but that was because my passive abilities were already on an godlike level.

If an ordinary gifted individual tried to replicate this technique, they would need to invest a considerable amount of time, even if they understood the theory behind it.

The level of focus and mental calculation required to perfect this skil was immense.

Any missteps could result in a catastrophic explosion of energy within my muscles, backfiring on me, or a weakened attack due to insufficient energy release.

Achieving the perfect balance was important for success.

'It's good to be a genius' I thought, as I mastered the technique in just a few moments. While Xiao Jiang may have spent his life honing his skills, here I was, making it my own.

"I'll call this technique Ki Burst," I declared, seeing how this technique felt akin to those martial arts novels I used to read.

[System: Congratulations, Host, for developing your own skill: Ki Burst!]

[Would you like to Combine it with Titan Gear?]

[Yes] or [No]

The message from the system intrigued me, sparking excitement as I saw another potential that came with developing my own skill.

'Yes'

[Skill Combine]

[Skill Combine]

[Skill Combine]

[Titan Ki Burst ]

I clicked for more information to know the new effect of my combined abilities.

The description of the new skill immediately struck me with its power.

It was an improved version of my existing abilities, and just by reading its description, I could sense its overwhelming potential.

The sheer dominance of the skill was obvious ; it was as if I could unleash a devastating explosion akin to a strategic missile with a simple punch to the ground.

I felt an urgent desire to test Titan Ki Burst immediately, but I knew that discretion was paramount.

In this intricate game of power, maintaining a low profile afforded me the freedom to manipulate events from behind the scenes without consequence, and gathering too much attention to myself.

It would be much wiser for me to stay hidden and gather intel.

BOOOOM!

BOOOOM!

BOOOOM!

The battle continued to rage on, the power of the Zol Clan proving to be difficult.

Despite the coordinated efforts of the Taoists, utilizing a joint attack pattern to maximize their power, their combined strength was still not enough to kill a single member of the Zol Clan.

Xiao Jiang and Zallon on the other hand were locked in their own intense battle, leaving them unable to provide assistance to their respective allies.

'I have to admit, they're really good,' I thought to myself, giving credit to the Zol Clan for their exceptional battle instinct.

Unlike the synchronize movements of the Taoists, which were clearly the result of their practice and diligence, the Zol Clan members was moving on pure instinct.

It was as if they were born to be fighters, there skills were already encoded in their DNA.

In a way, this fight was a clash between pure talent versus pure effort.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'A chance!' I exclaimed, quickly connecting to one of my puppets to capitalize on the opportunity presented by a Zol Clan member's mistake.

I couldn't afford to let such a valuable mission reward slip away.
