Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 139: My talent is too overbearing

Xinglou moved with a speed that was impossible to follow. No, it wasn't speed, but a warp.

Suddenly appearing on the top of his head, she swung her heel as she was about to crack his skull.

How vicious, he thought.

It was just her momentum, but it was enough to crack the earth and render heaven.

Yet, he stood there and swung his katana, ready to meet Xinglou's kick.

However, Xinglou quickly disappeared and appeared in the distance, avoiding meeting his blade.

"Ohohoho, what a fearsome swordsmanship. In your hand, that normal katana has become akin to a nuclear bomb."

At that moment, if she didn't escape, she knew that her heel was about to be sliced apart by him.

"Don't make such an exaggeration. If I am a nuclear bomb, then what are you? Judgment day?"

Compared to Xinglou, Tamazuki knew that he was still a long way. Frankly, there was no comparison between them as he could feel an infinite amount of Prana on her body.

Yet, how? He kept raking his brains, but he knew that in the contest with Prana, he couldn't win.

Facing Xinglou, his "Fire" ability was useless as it was using Prana.

Xinglou, who had an infinite Prana, could, without a doubt, defend herself against his fire, and that was why he used a blade. He might coolly say that he was going to use Xinglou as his whetstone, but he knew himself that he was powerless against her in terms of the amount of Prana, so he could only bet on his "Swordsmanship Talent" to grow.

With the most efficient amount of "Osore" on his body, he wondered how to make himself stronger.

Yet, Xinglou knew that facing Tamazuki in close combat was nothing but suicide. Tamazuki had beast-like senses, Shiki (Secret technique of Amagiri Style), and also clairvoyance. The combination made it impossible for anyone to get close unless that person's speed was about the speed of light.

Xinglou's speed was fast, but it was just above the speed of sound, so it wasn't enough to cause harm to him.

Moreover, Xinglou didn't lie before since his swordsmanship was akin to a nuclear bomb, which clearly explained how dangerous it was. Maybe, in this world, there was nothing that couldn't be cut by him.

So, there was only one way to defeat him.

It was to overwhelm him!

It was to spam him with a flood-like attack until he could only cry helplessly like a loser!

"Ohohoho, it's been a while since I have gotten serious, so don't die, okay?"

Then, one became two, two became four, then the number continued to expand until it was impossible to count anymore.

"....."

Those who came as spectators could only watch this scene in disbelief.

How many of these?!

Xinglou could make a clone, and each of her clones had an ability similar to hers with superb martial arts, fine Prana control, and various other magical techniques. Yet, the numbers were just ridiculous as they were about thousands, ten thousand, or more. It was hard to count since the number increased too fast.

Moreover, all of them charged at him at the same time!

"He is done for," Helga answered as she looked at the battle below.

"No, he won't!" Julis was the first one who defied. "He will win! There is no way that he will lose!"

"Yes, Sensei will win!"

"I believe that he will win."

Yet, while they had such resistance, they also thought that it would be hard for him to win as he didn't use his Ser-Veresta.

Claudia still remembered that way when he used Ser-Veresta to burn everything on the path and became a god of fire, yet in this battle; he just used a normal katana. Even though it was sharper and tougher, it was nothing but a cold weapon.

Yet, his thoughts had always been unpredictable, so it was hard to tell what he planned to do until everyone saw his resistance.

"No way..."

Such a scene... if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they knew that they wouldn't believe it.

Being beaten down by thousands of master martial arts wasn't something funny. It was ridiculous, and one would die without a doubt. One was enough to conquer a city, then ten thousand of them were probably enough to conquer a country, yet this was his situation. He was overwhelmed by a simple quantity since while Xinglou's martial art was superb, in the end, it was nothing in front of his blade.

Yet, as expected, with this number, he was slowly overwhelmed. Facing this monster, even if he managed the consumption of his "Osore" at the most efficient number, it still drained him hard, yet the most important thing, his speed, was unable to fight against this number.

There were too many opponents.

If the opponents were a group of small fries, it might be different, but this was a group of masters.

His current situation was like a beginner gamer who was forced to play a hell of a difficulty-level game without a chance to train or understand the game.

Still, if he was a protagonist, he might be able to bring the latent power inside his body by summoning a primordial existence inside his body, bringing the power of his ancestor to defeat Xinglou, or he mastered Xinglou's ability secretly before passing out, causing Xinglou to stop and respect his hard work.

Or, he could make Xinglou fall in love with him and weaken her.

Unfortunately, he wasn't one, but it didn't mean his situation was helpless. It might be because he wasn't one that he didn't need to be tortured by a tedious plot. Instead, it was because he wasn't one that he could become stronger even faster.

It was because he wasn't one that he didn't need those protagonist plots to become stronger!

He was strong, and he was going to show it here!

He focused all of his learning ability on his swordsmanship talent, and it continued to grow upward at a speed that would cause everyone to be dumbfounded.

Faster, faster, faster.

Even if there was only one sword in his hand, the speed of his blade became faster and faster until it was impossible to see anymore.

The blade in his hand vanished.

Xinglou was no longer smiling, and her expression was solemn.

What is this?

This was clearly stated in her expression.

Everyone was also in a daze, watching all of this since they thought that he would be buried under the bombardment of Xinglou, yet slowly, he sliced apart all of Xinglou's copies.

His blade was invisible.

It had no sound or vibrations in the air.

It was an instantaneous slash.

Such a thing was usually impossible since for one to reach zero to one hundred, it needed momentum, yet his slash was able to do it.

His slash was able to achieve instantaneous zero-to-hundred acceleration.

This happened not because of a plot, the booming of the latent talent, or simply because of being passed by the soul of the ancestor. Instead, it was the simpler and more overbearing reason.

Talent.

It was just because of this.

By combining his "Learning Talent" and "Swordsmanship Talent," he was able to achieve massive growth at that moment. Something that was impossible to happen was happening inside his body. He controlled and changed the nervous signals, which ran all across his nervous system, to move his muscles in unison and muster all of their strength at the same time, both in an instant, achieving this technique.

Moreover, with his "Blindspot Talent," nothing could stop him.

Unless Xinglou grew stronger all of a sudden, like a protagonist, it was impossible to stop him.

All the copies of Xinglou were sliced apart by him.

No matter how high the number was, it was just impossible to stop him.

Xinglou had already lost sight of him. It was impossible to see his figure anymore until suddenly she saw him appear before him.

He was in front of her.

Raising his blade high and ready to slash her apart in half.

Her pupils enlarged, and she tried to do millions of ways to defend him, yet no matter what methods appeared on her head, she would be cut down. It was impossible to escape from him, and suddenly she realized the meaning of despair.

Was she going to die?

That thought appeared on her mind until she saw him flick her forehead.

"I won."

The pain in her forehead didn't wake her up as she was just staring at his smile in a daze.

<Congratulations, you have received "Human">

"...." Tamazuki.
