In the final moment, although Iron Seven didn’t fully understand what had happened, it was clear that it was Li Ze’s doing.

The Iron Guards who were watching the fight were stunned.

Iron Seven had actually lost?

Each of the Iron Guards was an elite among elites, their strength far surpassing that of ordinary people. Iron Seven wasn’t the strongest among them, but he was certainly not the weakest!

Li Ze said to Iron Seven indifferently, "Return to your team."

"Yes."

Iron Seven replied respectfully and swiftly rejoined the ranks.

The Iron Guards looked at Li Ze with a hint of awe and less arrogance. For them, great strength was the simplest way to earn respect!

"Buzz buzz~"

At this moment, Li Ze’s phone rang—it was a call from Li Ancheng.

"Ze, have you met the Iron Guards?"

Li Ancheng said with a smile, "I had them infiltrate your villa ahead of time so you could see their abilities... How was it?"

"Yes, I’ve seen their skills."

Li Ze glanced at Iron Seven with a meaningful look.

Iron Seven felt his face flush with embarrassment. With Li Ze’s strength, there was no need for them to show off their skills.

Li Ze remained noncommittal.

After all, he was an "extraordinary" player with the system's help, and the value of the Iron Guards extended far beyond their individual strength. They weren’t just street thugs with knives; they were experts operating in the shadows, responsible for protection and various tasks!

Li Ancheng gave a few more instructions and reminded Li Ze not to forget the board meeting before ending the call.

Li Ze waved his hand at the Iron Guards, "Maintain vigilance around the villa. I will call on you whenever there is a task!"

"Yes!"

The Iron Guards responded respectfully.

After what just happened, the few Iron Guards were completely convinced by Li Ze.

Li Ze walked into the villa alone and sat on the sofa in the hall, reflecting on the recent battle.

Using the Iron Guard as a reference, with the help of the system, his physical condition has undoubtedly started to surpass that of ordinary people. In the TV drama "Martial Arts Expert from the Countryside Enters the City," which focuses on divine doctors and romance, while the Iron Guard's strength may not be the very best, it is still considered top-tier.

"However, despite having such powerful physical attributes, I lack corresponding combat skills. If I hadn't used Intimidation just now, Iron Seven might have found a flaw and turned the tables."

Li Ze pondered.

In the recent fight, he had only relied on his physical strength to indiscriminately attack. Iron Seven's attacks were not very threatening to him, yet he could still cause Iron Seven to lose his composure with a single punch. If it were the same body but without the enhancements, he would have lost long ago.

Moreover, the Iron Guards hadn’t used weapons!

If they had used cold weapons or even more familiar firearms, Li Ze would definitely not have been able to match them.

Li Ze summoned the system.

He needed to address this gap in his abilities, and the method was to specifically extract combat skills!

“System, I want to extract skills related to combat techniques!”

“Ding! Searching... Skill "Martial Arts" matched. Do you want to extract it?”

“Extract!”

Li Ze said without hesitation.

“Ding! Villain Points -1000. Host has acquired Martial Arts [Advanced]!”

Li Ze felt a surge of joy.

Advanced!

Skills obtained through targeted extraction are randomly selected from the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. This time, Li Ze was fortunate enough to receive the highest initial skill level!

Advanced is already the pinnacle that ordinary people might reach.

A vast amount of information instantly filled his mind, becoming second nature to him. Combat techniques, stealth techniques, power application techniques, firearms techniques... In short, all combat-related skills were unlocked!

Muscle memory also emerged seamlessly, integrating perfectly into his muscle structure. There was no longer the previous sensation of an explosive increase in strength; it felt as though it had been honed through countless repetitions.

Li Ze lightly clenched his fist and remarked with emotion, "The system is truly powerful... It's a pity that my villain points are almost depleted now."

"However, villain points are meant to be used. If not converted into strength, what use are they? Moreover..."

He smiled faintly, "Without villain points, isn’t it just fine to extract them from Ye Tian?"
