The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

King opened the system menu. He had achieved his goal. The reputation boost from the martial arts tournament was no less than that from defeating the super monster. His reputation value had exceeded 43 million.

King's original plan was to raise his reputation to 30 million, but in the end, he achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Since I've already achieved my goal this morning, and far exceeded my expectations, I'll treat myself well this afternoon and take a break.

I bought a lot of new games yesterday, as well as various snacks and drinks.

The rest of today will be my happy time!

King's mood gradually improved.

Just as he was about to open the door, King keenly sensed a tremendous killing intent coming from behind him.

"I hope you understand that trespassing is no small matter."

King spoke slowly, then turned his body to the side and shifted his gaze to what was behind him.

A burly man was standing next to King.

With his signature white hair, wolf-like eyes, and unique aura, King immediately recognized the other person.

Hungry wolf.

King was somewhat surprised to see this person appear behind him, not expecting that the other party's target was him.

"I originally planned to participate in this competition to see what level I was at."

"But since you've attended this martial arts tournament, the other competitors and even the champion are irrelevant."

"I witnessed your battle with that water dragon! With the title of the strongest human on earth, only a hero like you is worth defeating."

A malicious smile appeared on the hungry wolf's face. He leaned forward slightly, looking like a wolf ready to pounce.

He is not someone who gives up easily; he is like a hungry wolf that will not let go of its goal once it has been set.

Unless a more valuable prey appears.

The reason why Hungry Wolf forfeited was so that he could have a one-on-one match with King after the game without any restrictions.

"Just now on the field, that old man was right there, and I couldn't shoot freely."

"King, you must also be bound by the rules!"

"Now that we're free from all constraints, we don't need to hold back anymore!"

A smile spread across the hungry wolf's face, a mixture of excitement and madness.

King stared at the hungry wolf with a completely expressionless face.

Is this guy out of his mind?

He looks like a rebellious, immature kid.

How could someone like Bangu produce such a disciple?

King was quite helpless. Bang had just warned him, and this guy had suddenly appeared.

It's like the enemies that appear when you walk into a specific area or trigger a plot in a video game.

"King, you must also long to meet an opponent who is your equal!"

"I'll grant your wish..."

"Wait a moment."

Before Garou could finish speaking, King interrupted him.

"Please don't add scenes for me; I don't like this kind of trouble..."

"And do you perhaps think you're qualified to fight me?"

"How arrogant you are, King!"

The hungry wolf let out a maniacal laugh, spreading its fingers wide to resemble sharp claws.

"I can't wait to trample the arrogance on your face under my feet!"

"go to hell!"

The moment the words left the wolf's mouth, he suddenly sprang up and charged toward King like a wolf in flight.

In the blink of an eye, the hungry wolf carefully observed King's movements.

Although Garou had just put on a very arrogant act, unlike Suiryu, he would never let his guard down during the battle.

He carefully observed King's movements, predicting his next move.

King remained motionless, seemingly oblivious to even the wolf's movements.

"Successful!"

The hungry wolf extended his fist and struck King's chest with perfect accuracy.

boom!

The immense power of the hungry wolf was poured into King, and huge cracks appeared in the surrounding walls as a result of the attack.

A tremendous sound echoed through the corridor; the power of this attack was absolutely no less than that of the Water Dragon's full strength.

Although the attack was successful, King did not make any defensive or evasive moves, but Garou's face did not show any joy.

A sharp pain shot through his fist.

It was like an ordinary person punching a solid city wall.

However, Garou now possesses the ability to shatter boulders, demonstrating just how incredibly tough King's body is.

Smoke billowed from the junction of King's and Garou's chests, the intense heat from the massive impact scorching the area around King's chest.

However, King himself was completely unharmed.

At this moment, King quickly looked down at the tear in his clothes, his brows furrowing slightly.

He originally thought that the wolf's attack posed no threat, so there was no need to dodge or defend. However, King now felt a pang of regret.

This is an outfit I bought specifically for today's martial arts competition!

Although my salary is high now, these clothes aren't cheap either!

That's almost equivalent to my living expenses for a whole year before!

Before fighting the water dragon, I even changed my clothes.

We're losing a fortune!

"This guy..."

When the hungry wolf saw that his attack had failed, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but it quickly turned into even more obvious excitement.

"As expected of King!"

"It's worth defeating!"

"Watch how I destroy your defenses!"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The two were as different as an insurmountable chasm.

While King was still in a daze, Garou immediately launched a fierce attack on him, far surpassing the speed and frequency of the Water Dragon.

Although Garou had never fought Suiryu, he found Suiryu's moves to be very unique while watching from the sidelines, and he memorized them.

The reason why Garou was able to become Bang's number one disciple was because of his amazing learning ability and innate martial arts talent.

Even Bang's Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, Garou could almost completely master after seeing it only once. It can be said that Garou was born for martial arts.

Therefore, after Garou watched the Water Dragon's Dark Body Fist a few times, he was able to grasp the basics.

Suiryu always considered himself a martial arts genius, but in reality, his talent was nothing compared to Garou's.

"Take this!"

The wolf's attacks rained down on King like a storm, yet King still made no move to defend himself.

"King, are you unable to keep up with my attack movements?!"

"I can't believe it," Garou said arrogantly. He remembered how King and Suiryu had fought before, and now he was faster and stronger than Suiryu. In his eyes, King, who hadn't made any defensive moves, definitely couldn't keep up with his speed.

"It's just that there's no need for defense or parrying."

King whispered amidst the fist shadows in the manual.

It's 12:30 now, and King, influenced by the Escanor template, is arguably in one of the strongest phases of the day.

The wolf's attacks were indeed very strong.

But in front of King, it was no different from scratching an itch through a boot.

"boring."

King said calmly, and casually swung his hand, slapping the hungry wolf across the face.

Afterimages appeared at the ends of the arms.

What seemed like an ordinary slap unexpectedly unleashed a fierce wind.

For Hungry Wolf, it was like having a building smashed in his face.

King's exaggerated strength sent Garou spinning countless times in the air before he flew dozens of meters away, embedding himself like a nail into the wall of another tall building in the distance.

The hungry wolf lost consciousness for a moment and it took several seconds to come back to his senses.

What exactly happened?

Was I attacked by King...?

Ouch, that hurts...

Hungry Wolf felt as if his body had been crushed; the attack had broken several of his bones.

The hungry wolf had never expected the opponent to be so powerful.

Although he witnessed King completely destroy the ring, he only truly felt the terrifying power of his opponent after taking a blow himself.

If someone were to lose consciousness for even a few seconds during a real life-or-death battle, they would have been killed by the opponent long ago.

However, since I am not dead, I still have the ability to fight.
