Preparation (Two-in-One Chapter)

[Hand-to-Hand Combat (Peerless → Transcendent) requires 45,000 Points and 1 Gold Skill Point. Pay? Yes/No]

Qin Ran opened the upgrade option for [Hand-to-Hand Combat].

But his gaze swept over his Points and Skill Points.

[Points: 45,000; Skill Points: 26; Gold Skill Points: 2; Gold Attribute Points: 4]

"My current Points are just enough to upgrade [Hand-to-Hand Combat]!"

"I can exchange Skill Points for enough Points to upgrade either [Dodge] or [Gunpowder Weapons: Light Firearms]!"

"But [Hundredfold Kick]..."

Qin Ran frowned as he looked at the Rare Tier skill book beside him.

Having learned [Foot Blade], he knew exactly how many Points and Skill Points it took to raise a Rare Tier skill to a level useful in combat.

The simplest example was [Foot Blade].

Going from Proficient to Expert alone cost 12,000 Points and 24 Skill Points.

[Hundredfold Kick] was not [Foot Blade], but Qin Ran doubted it would cost much less.

"Even with the difference Lawless owes me, it won't be nearly enough!"

"And I still have two basic skills to learn!"

"Not enough!"

"Not even close!"

Qin Ran muttered to himself.

Even so, he went ahead with the [Hand-to-Hand Combat] upgrade.

``` [Skill has reached the Transcendent tier. A Transcendent option is now available!]

[Extraordinary Legs: Through grueling training and countless battles, your legs have surpassed mortal limits. Against Formless ghost creatures, they gain +1 attack rating (this is only a +1 special effect and does not factor in their own attack power). Against ordinary creatures, they gain an additional +1 attack rating (factoring in their own attack power). Attacking with your legs further increases Stamina consumption.]
