Will of the Infinite

Chapter 8 - Rematch

The next day, Harry challenges him to a rematch. They instead fight in the woods to not be restricted at all. Luckily, Tanji’s Passive Art gives him a boost while here and it makes him stronger. Harry declares bravely. “If I have the chance I will kill you, human.” Tanji smirks at the declaration and says while waving his hand. “So be it.” He drops back into his fighting stance and sweeps one of his legs back.

Harry rushes right at him and throws a punch to start off the fight. However, Tanji is different now when it comes to strength. He slips past the punch and lands his Power Fist to his chest. Harry spits blood right above Tanji’s head and falls back about 4 metres. He grasps his chest and blood seeps through the gaps in his teeth. He wonders. “How did he get so strong?! I’ll make sure to kill him now!!” He stands back up then crackling noises are generated by his healing factor. He grows shaggy hair across his arms, sharp claws and fangs, then his eyes glow a bright golden colour. (Supernatural eyes are pretty much glow in the dark. They glow in light but are much brighter in darker sceneries.)

He snarls and rushes towards Tanji. He leaps up and his claws glisten through one of the only beams of sunlight that hit the muddy forest ground. He tries to slash him but just gets kneed in the gut. He falls forward and rolls away. In a split second, he is back on his feet however.

He then glances at Tanji’s body. He is coated in an almost transparent aura. He clenches his fists and glances back at him also. They then rush at each other.

*SLAM*

Both of their punches hit each other, causing a loud slamming noise. They seem pretty much equal. Tanji kicks in his knee before kicking right in his rib. He then follows by grasping tightly onto his wrist. He pulls back and cleanly kicks him in his neck. This hefty kick hurls Harry about 5 metres. A mouthful of blood is splat onto the grass below.

He shakily gets onto his feet then thinks “He can’t beat me! He’s a simple human! What even is the power he has?!” He twists to face Tanji with his bloodshot eyes from fury.

He proceeds to rush at him. His legs are a blur even to Tanji. He leaps horizontally from about 3 metres away and goes in for a shin kick. He laughs menacingly while doing it and shouts “IT’S OVER!!”

He hurls his shin right at Tanji but somehow, it is blocked sternly. He’s even hurt himself with the kick. He falls back and lands on his side gracelessly. Tanji comments to himself “I can do this! Let’s finish this...”

He clenches his fist then his muscles enlarge. His translucent aura becomes more opaque then he rushes at Harry. He kicks him in his gut then grabs his shirt. He leaps into the air then slams him into the ground. For the last few seconds he has left, he rips a branch from a tree then shaves off the extra branches. He heartlessly stabs the branch right into his stomach. He spits blood onto Tanji’s hand before stumbling a few steps backwards. Tanji’s qi rush fades away then he walks right past Harry. He tries to keep his footing but eventually falls to the ground and spits more blood onto the grass. He is left shaken by the amount of pain he’s feeling. Physically and mentally. Some low-life human just beat him.

“How?.. He was so weak until.. NO! HE CAN’T BE STRONGER THAN I! HARRY OF THE OTXOA FAMILY!” Even though he is a half-blood, he seems to not like humans even one bit.

Tanji is ecstatic about the fact he completely laid Harry out. He levels up and reaches Level 5 from receiving 50XP. These are his stats now.

Tanji Bjornulfsson.

Level 5 [25/250]

Strength: 7

Speed: 7

Defence: 6

Constitution: 9

Control: 74%

Intelligence: 6

(Average human male has stats of 3 - 6)

Species: Half-Blood (NP)

HP [26/40]

XP Points: 1

He puts his remaining XP Point right into strength.

After a lot more training and hardship, he reaches Level 6. However, he’s been confining himself to the use of just the slow and steady Umi Class. Once he reaches Level 6 and feels his cultivation speed deplete, he integrates the Kaen Class into his training.

He buys the Shiroikaen Breathing Method and learns it. Once he begins to use it, he feels his heartbeat quickly jump up to a higher BPM. He continues then feels the raging qi flowing violently around and through him. After about 15 minutes, he cuts off the Breathing Method and is surprised by the training speed of it. It does make him more tired though.

As he begins to use his new Breathing Method, it leads to faster cultivation speed.

After 3 extra weeks, he makes it to Level 7. He has packed on some good muscle during this time and now he looks even more athletic. He has more veiny arms, broader shoulders, a larger chest etc. He has also started his growth spurt. He has already grown from 5’7 to 5’8 during this time.

After cultivating using his Shiroikaen breathing method, a pop up appears.

[CHOOSE YOUR SECOND POWER: OPTION 1: Darach. Gain access to a dark energy that can be used to perform spells and gain power through fair trade. Sacrifices for power. OPTION 2: Werewolf. Gain arts and power based on the werewolf. Makes the user a werewolf. Tanji Bjornulfsson’s Half-Blood will make this option even better. OPTION 3: Mana. The user gains access to the spiritual power, mana. Makes user a Mage. The user gains one elemental power to start off. Mana is stored throughout the body but can be brought through the body to make the user stronger as well as give access to their elemental power. Mana gives a physical stat boost of +3 to start off. OPTION 4: NONE.]

He smirks in surprise and says “I think the option is very clear.” He chooses the werewolf option then his body begins glowing.

He looks at his new body in awe. His muscle mass has permanently increased and he is also 5’9 now. His power has been giving him a crazy boost to his already active growth spurt.

He smirks and looks at one of his mirrors. He focuses and focuses on bringing out his inner anger and before you know it, his eyes flash golden. That’s all he can pull off though.

He turns and notices even more notifications.

[NEW LYCAN ART: Claw Slash. Claws. Claw Sharpness +20%. Striking Power and Speed +15% for 5 seconds.]

[NEW LYCAN ART: Dire Leap. Adrenaline Rush for 10 seconds. -5 to Strength. Leaping Ability +80%.]

[NEW PASSIVE LYCAN ART: Nyx’s Watch. 20% boost to all stats (NOT IN-SYSTEM STATS) at night.]

His new power is extraordinary. He hears a low tapping noise. He looks across his room and sees nothing. Eventually, he locks on and finds out it’s literally a spider. He reacts by blurting out “Eh?” He turns around and just continues with everything he’s doing.
