Now that Luke had these two abilities, he found that they were even more useful than he had imagined after a brief study.
For him, his biggest shortcoming, which was his lack of physical fitness, was no longer limiting his abilities.
With 40 Strength, 27 Dexterity, and 40 Mental Strength, Luke also had Elementary Self-Healing, Sharp Sense, and Physical Outburst.
He could easily perform movements that ordinary people couldn't, and he wasn't afraid of getting hurt when experimenting with Elementary Muscle Control.
Apart from the pain, it wasn't a big problem.
A trump card that originated from Muscle Control had been turned into a common skill.
Nikki called it "outburst," while Luke preferred to call it "berserk."
This trump card was similar to Physical Outburst, except that it was more inclined to increase strength, and had similar side effects, which were internal injuries in the body.
It was very likely that the berserk card could be combined with Physical Outburst.
Luke felt that as long as he studied and trained them for a while, they would form a new ability.
When Muscle Control wasn't using this trump card, he could make more subtle adjustments to his movements so that his muscles could support certain difficult movements and greatly increase his combat ability.
Finally, it had another auxiliary effect.
As long as he concentrated, Luke could change the shape of his muscles to a certain extent, whether it was his face or his body.
In other words, even without the Thousand Faces system, he could change his appearance in an instant.
He couldn't change someone else's face, but it was very easy to make it so that no one could recognize him.
It could be said that Muscle Control was a multifunctional "godly skill," and was far more useful than expected.
But it couldn't compare to Monica's Elementary Imitation.
Elementary Imitation sounded simple — it allowed the user to quickly imitate other people's body movements.
At first glance, it didn't seem like a big deal, but when this "rapid imitation" wasn't done by the day, but by the minute, this ability was even more amazing than Elementary Muscle Control.
Take Monica, the original owner of this ability, for example. What other people could learn in a year of taekwondo would be enough for her in three to five days. The only difference was in combat awareness and physical fitness.
She didn't even need to do it herself; she only needed to watch others demonstrate it a few times to completely understand the movements.
Naturally, she knew how to exert strength and coordinate her body, and was as efficient as a copy.
But similar to Elementary Muscle Control, the real limitation of this ability was the user himself.
Without sufficient combat (movement) awareness, without sufficient physical support, it was impossible for a fat otaku to suddenly make a 720 degree turn in the air and land steadily, even if the fat otaku knew every step of this movement.
This ability was more like an amplifier, an amplifier that made all bodily movements simple.
It just so happened that Luke had enough combat awareness and experience, as well as an extraordinarily strong body.
After Nikki and Monica each gained an ability, their combat power multiplied several times.
With the combination of these two abilities, Luke didn't just increase his combat strength; he also had the opportunity to make the impossible possible.
For example, he was proficient in all kinds of cold weapons, firearms, and extreme parkour, but because he didn't have enough training time, it was difficult for him to master all of them.
Now, this problem naturally did not exist.
With his powerful physique, two new abilities, and countless basic knowledge, he could become an expert in most battle-related abilities after three to five days of training.
Even the unpopular spear, archery, horseback riding, skiing, and so on, could be learned in a short time.
It could be said that from the moment he obtained these two perfect abilities, Luke was certain that he would eventually become a fighting master.
Also, this fighting master level wasn't just limited to Earth.
On Earth alone, his Elementary Combat Proficiency was already at the peak.
Apart from a few unfathomable bigwigs whom he had only heard of, he didn't have to worry about anyone else.
As long as Luke was given a few years, there would definitely be very few people in the universe who could beat him in pure combat.
In any profession or industry, the higher the level, the fewer people there were.
If there were more than ten people on Earth who had reached Elementary Combat Proficiency, then there might only be a few dozen aliens in the universe who had reached Intermediate Combat Proficiency.
Advanced Combat Proficiency? It was doubtful whether such an ability existed.
The God of Thunder was a good example.
Even this Asgardian "god" who had lived for a thousand years wouldn't waste his energy on too many combat skills.
He only needed to choose one or two that were most suitable for him, such as Advanced One-Handed Hammer Proficiency, and then get a suitable "divine weapon," and he would be able to unleash his maximum combat strength. There was no need to work on all of his combat abilities.
As long as Thor had the Meow Meow Hammer and Advanced One-Handed Hammer Proficiency, it would be difficult for Luke, who didn't have a special "divine weapon," to defeat him, even if he had Advanced Combat Proficiency.
This was a classic question of which was stronger, specialization or breadth.
Luke's advantages were firstly the system's Super Learning Module, which was the first acceleration cheat.
Secondly, with these two new abilities, not only could he unleash 100% or 200% of his strength, he could also quickly learn anyone's body movements, which was equivalent to a second acceleration cheat.
The chemical reaction produced by the two was not additive, but multiplicative, or even exponential. This allowed him to spend a very short amount of time to achieve both "Specialization" and "Breadth" in combat.
Being as good as Thor with a hammer, as good as the captain with a shield, and as good as Hawkeye with a bow was no longer a dream for him.
After studying these two abilities, Luke couldn't help but rub his chin and murmur, "I still have to thank Nikki and Monica. In the future, I'll ask them what their dreams are and try my best to help them achieve them."
He had always felt that even if other people didn't know about the system obtaining abilities, he couldn't think that nothing had happened.
Since he had chosen to kill bad guys for experience and credit points, he should be generous with his gratitude to those who helped him. That was his own fairness.
Otherwise, based on the system's judgment alone, he could kill bad guys without feeling guilty, but he wouldn't be able to reap benefits from the innocent with a clear conscience.
For example, Alicia, the little girl who had provided Sharp Nose in Houston, had used his connections last year to find her mother a well-paid job, but he didn't let them know that it was him who had done it.
It was this little girl's gratitude that had given him Sharp Nose in the early days of his business.
Whether it was solving cases or earning credit points later, this ability had played an unimaginable role.
Thus, he would ensure that Alicia didn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
When she grew up and wanted to make a fortune, he was also willing to secretly be an angel investor for her.
There were also Carol and Tony, the tycoon, who would receive the same treatment.
That way, his mind would be at peace.
