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.

HP [26/40]

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.

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 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.
During the nighttime, the stars cover the night sky. Rain drips across the streets and buildings of Bludby City. This gives the city a certain chill. Many are inside and if someone is outside they tend to be in a car of some sort. Tanji has some music playing across his house at the early night of around 9pm. He goes to brush his teeth but as he walks past the window, beams of moonlight directly hit his lycanthropic body. He glances outside because he literally feels it. As he gazes at the moon, he feels himself become more powerful. He says is surprise. “Moonlight makes me stronger all-round?! Now that is great!” He then begins brushing his teeth. Once he is under the moonlight once again, a notification pops up above his bed. [SUDDEN QUEST: Double Cultivation. Use an Umi Class Breathing Method while under direct moonlight.] [QUEST REWARDS: 100XP, 2 XP Points, 1 New Breathing Meth
Farholde is a town on the outskirts of Bludby City. It has less technology but isn’t really its own town. It still runs under the government of Bludby City. It is smaller and less dense. It has about 114,000 people living there. Using the city’s underground train, he can get to the city in 3 - 4 minutes. The thing is, Tanji has never been able to take the train. The city develops its technology and industry based on the power of a low level supernatural. Not a human. If he went on the train he could die from the speed and severe whiplash it causes. Now that he’s stronger, he can get on the train. The train can go at speeds of up to 600mph. This means that he can get to the town of Farholde in as little as 3 minutes. There is still some safety procedures but there are minute numbers of them. He opens the paper test and locks his eyes onto the first question. “How tall is the average Goliath.” He smirks at the question since he believes it’s easy. He might not be a supernatural but he has spent expansive volumes of time growing his knowledge on supernaturals. He answers the question with ease. “Goliaths’ height vary widely. The smallest of Goliaths can be 9 feet while the tallest can reach sizes of 100ft.” The next question is “What is one weakness that werewolves possess.” He answers quickly after reading the question. “Werewolves have a weakness to silver.” The third question is a little more developed. “Is it illegal for a vampire to take a human hostage for their blood?” He replies with his own opinion on the correct answer. “It is illegal for a human hostage to be used for their blood. However, a human citizen can be used for their human blood in whatever setting. For example, school, workWill of the Infinite Chapter 11 - Written Exam
No movement is seen from both fighters. Both are playing it safe rather than risky. Izbuk knows he’s of the prosperous Bancroft Family and Caleb knows he has amazing combined power.Caleb quickly rushes at him by leaping off of the ring. The tough and fortified ring cracks from the shear force required to propel him at such speed. He swings his right arm towards Izbuk but he ducks right under the swing. As a countermeasure, he throws an uppercut from below. It is dodged with ease. He follows with two power punches but Izbuk blocks both flawlessly. Caleb is punched hard in the bottom of his chin. His teeth slam together then he is kicked away to secure distance. He slides and skids down the gridded plain but stops himself before he plummets off of the ring.He stops himself and tries to formulate a strategy. While slowly stepping towards Iz
The first two names are displayed. The names are followed and monotonously read by the monitor. “Ivan Cole vs. Varvak Pirecrown.” Ivan is a slightly diluted werewolf that is around 6’0. He weighs about 80kg and is 10-11% body fat. This means he has a very muscular figure for someone of his age. Varvak is 5’10 and has a sleek build. His hair is pure white and his eyes are a dirty grey colour. He seems weak from underwhelming physique and the werewolf underestimates him because of this.Ivan chuckles patronisingly. He remarks “Your skinnier than the humans! How dare you try and fight me!” Varvak doesn’t say anything malicious back at him but just says “Let’s see if you’ll be saying that after the fight.” They then prepare themselves. Ivan’s eyes dimly glow with the werewolf’s standard golden colour while his fangs simultaneously protrude from his mouth. He reveals his hands to Varvak as

Some fights go on but eventually, Tanji’s time comes.From the monitor, a sound is played. “NEXT MATCH. TANJI BJORNULFSSON VS LIAM BARAEK!”Tanji exhales slowly and thinks “This is it. Time to prove myself!!”He stands onto the large, white ring. His opponent, Liam, steps up on the ring also. He is about his height and muscle. This time, a school teacher tells the fight to start “3.. 2.. 1.. FIGHT!”Liam smirks and says “I remember you. You’re the human from Balssop.” Tanji replies. “Well I don’t know you.”Liam laughs condescendingly and says “Of course not I didn’t go to the school! I just helped try to kill you.” Tanji clenches his fists
Alden has learned to combine both his wendigo and ghoul powers to form his very own True Fist. He mixes the ghoul fire and the wendigo power together to form a lethal attack. The speed of his fist is insane. It soars across the area right towards Tanji.*BANG*He lands the devastating punch right on Tanji’s locked up arm. He slides back from the impact but he seems relatively unaffected. He exhales slowly and Alden’s arm steams off.Tanji sighs of relief and mutters “Phew. I actually got through that.” Alden rushes right back at him and throws a kick. Tanji slides under the hit and uses his Claw Slash to slash right at his knee.He gets back up to his feet and Alden falls to one knee. Tanji takes advantage of this and zooms right across the arena. His qi clumps around his hand and forms the Power Fist. He lands the strike to his
“Y-yes.. thank you.” The girl says with deep gratitude, reaching her hand to her stomach to remove agonising and bloody wooden chunks from her wounds. Her breath is heavy but swiftly, it returns to normal and her wounds seal up. “Why are these guys coming for you?” Tanji asks, walking past the corpses. It certainly confuses him since the assassins seemed so eager to kill her. They saw his strength but didn’t even begin to flee and continues trying to face him full throttle. The girl turns her superhuman ear to the village beside them and using her senses, she realises that no one will be able to hear her. Therefore, she turns with a more calm and eased tone, beginning to sit on the grass below. Seeing her do this, he kind of just follows along and sits down as well. “Have you heard of the Oksoa family?” She asks. This statement immediately sparks up the name ‘Otxoa’ in his mind. Due to this, he deduces that this family is a subordinate family to the Otxoa werewolf family. Maybe,
Felipe feels weak and frail, dropping to a knee after getting hit by this attack. Even though his surface-level bruise has faded, his inner wounds are still healing.On the other hand, Tanji is flat on his back, reverting back to his ordinary form. His energy storage has been depleted almost completely and he can barely keep his eyes open. Alphonso, seeing the 2 warriors unwilling to fight, grabs his sceptre beside him and taps it.“The fight is over.. Good job, son. Tanji, very good job, I was not expecting you to put my son out of commission like that. I really am curious about the warriors of the frontworld.” Alphonso states, throwing 2 elixirs to the warriors.The flask-shaped bottles are filled with a green, luminous liquid that upon drinking, leaves a minty t
HP [30/160]After a split-second, Tanji catches notice of an opening and pounces. Like a bruiser, he throws his body into a punch and it seems to be going right on target for the area and ultimately for contact.Even so, Felipe swats away this fist and throws a punch of his own, knocking off an entire 5 HP off his remaining points.“RAAAH!!!” Felipe roars, throwing his final punch of his art, launching Tanji into a pillar behind him.On contact, the strong structure shatters and breaks apart, throwing down small chunks and sharp fragments of rock onto Tanji’s back.HP [24/160]
Tanji makes a graceful land and in less than a twentieth of a second, claws come swinging towards his eyes.“So fast!!” Tanji thinks to himself, peering upon these claws with his shining golden eyes.His body engulfs in a cloak of qi as he backs away.[Qi Rush Activated]The werewolf dodges the slash then weaves past the second, leaving him in a great position for him to throw a few deadly strikes of his own. Like a feral beast, Tanji slashes at the man’s chest then throws a powerful straight kick, following after him like a king cheetah. His strides are long and explosive, making bomb-like booms as his claws and extremities slam against the ground.“I can land a
After a few hours, the group do return to the village. Tanji is now completely fine and has actually taken the chance of taking a few resources on his own back.“Damn it, I missed out on that quest. I’ll need to get stronger to fight the beasts of this world if that was just a C+ rated beast. I wonder what an A rated beast would be like.” Tanji thinks, as he walks on with the team.The group stroll past the palace and receive applauds from the villagers that are simply doing their daily duties for survival. The guards at the front of the palace nod and bow upon seeing their fellow knights walk past them, with the knights nodding back.They all reach a large settlement, with campfires and wooden buildings. The campfires continue to burn and several burly men, throw meat on these campfires and swivel them in

Electricity starts to circulate around his body and then surge into his body, giving him his classic blue tint. Also, the components across his arms utilise this new power source and actually become more efficient and powerful, from a far better energy source.“Wow, this thing is draining my qi quite a bit. I’ll need to be quick with this then!” Tanji thinks, charging towards the bear.Every powerful stomp-like stride he makes rumbles the ground and swiftly, he slices at the side of the bear. Before it can react, he steps away and dodges a violent swing, using his dagger to slow down by stabbing his sword right into the mud below.Immediately, he leaps off his feet and dodges another attack, activating his sword’s inscription in the process.

These people tend to be quite low-level in skill and specialise in power and strength to handle the weight. Some of the porters are half ogres, some are common werewolves. Will of the Infinite
As Tanji kneels, the king reveals a glistening broadsword then taps it across both of Tanji’s shoulders.“You are now a knight and will be referred to by the title of Sir due to your efforts in this realm. Here is your medal of honour.” The king replies, signalling his workers to provide him with a medal.The medal is a large, golden coin that has a message engraved on the edge.“Knight.
