In the second round, Chu Tianjiang's opponent was the third-ranked fighter.

As Chu Tianjiang expected, the warrior known as "Ernie" had obtained a Level 8 Composite Star Core at the end of the first round of battle.

Of course, this is not a problem.

Ernie is a typical warrior with great combat power and experience, and has participated in more than enough battles to defeat many enemies.

It can be said that the last thing Chu Tianjiang wants to encounter is an opponent like Ernie.

With an opponent like Engro, Chu Tianjiang will not have a headache. When you fight against real warriors, you have to pay a lot of price for victory.

Of course, there are also significant risks.

In the face of a powerful participant like Ernie, it is impossible for Chu Tianjiang to win by opportunistic means, and the only way is to defeat him with strength.

This battle was also fought extremely fiercely.

Obviously, Chu Tianjiang met a real opponent.

From the point of view of physical form, Ernie's intelligent civilization has already obtained a perfect physical form in the natural evolution stage, that is, the most suitable physical form for battle. After entering the stage of self-evolution, it is only through energy and mass energy that the body's combat ability is enhanced.

It can be said that this is an intelligent civilization that survives for the sake of fighting.

These advantages allowed Ernie to show no less combat effectiveness than Chu Tianjiang in this battle. If he could gain more advantages, Chu Tianjiang would definitely not be his opponent.

Compared with Chu Tianjiang, Ernie's biggest disadvantage lies in his understanding of the star core.

Although he has mastered the art of making a Composite Star Core, otherwise it would not be possible to increase the level of the Composite Star Core in battle, but this does not mean that he knows enough about the Star Core. The point is, Ernie's star core, which is mainly provided by his creator, is only partially from combat. Ernie was able to create a compound core, but he couldn't control the compound core as freely as Chu Tianjiang to destroy the core.

What's more, all the eighth-level compound star cores that Ernie has are used to form a body, while Chu Tianjiang not only has a body composed of eighth-level compound star cores, but also a ninth-level compound star core, and can even use the star cores stored in subspace to create an eighth-level compound star core in time.

This difference directly affects the outcome of the battle.

That is, Ernie could not replenish the lost eighth-level composite star core in battle, while Chu Tianjiang was able to replenish the combat consumption at any time.

Although Ernie lost fewer cores, the gap between the two sides became wider.

After losing a third of the eighth-level composite star core, Ernie took the initiative to distance himself, and Chu Tianjiang did not continue to attack.

For Ernie, he can only replenish his consumption with a seventh-level composite core, or even a sixth-level composite core.

This means that his combat effectiveness is getting weaker and weaker.

Chu Tianjiang was not only able to replenish the consumed eighth-level composite star core, but also to use the ninth-level composite star core, which meant that his combat power was getting stronger and stronger.

"Chu Tianjiang, you are the most powerful opponent I have ever met." Ernie was not discouraged, but excited.

"It's the same with you, you're the best opponent I've ever faced."

"It seems that our battle will soon be over."

Chu Tianjiang smiled, Ernie said this, indicating that he had realized that it was impossible to win through such a war of attrition, so he could only do the last game.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to decide the winner." Ernie paused slightly. "We have to decide the winner, why not be more direct?"

"I don't want to waste my time."

"Well, let's stop wasting time."

After saying this, Ernie took the initiative to kill him. He didn't use any tricks, he used the simplest and deadliest tricks.

It's just that it's not Chu Tianjiang who is deadly.

Chu Tianjiang didn't evade it, he knew that Ernie just wanted to fight happily and prove the value of existence with a battle.

It's also a warrior's dream destination.

For a fighter, as long as he tries his best, losing to an opponent who is stronger than himself is not a shameful thing, but a glorious thing.

Warriors seek strength, and strength can only be proven through combat.

Ernie is now proving that he has what it takes to challenge fighters who are stronger than him, and what it takes to make strong opponents pay the price.

Chu Tianjiang was also a warrior, and he had to admire Ernie.

Of course, facing an opponent like Ernie, defeating him with a hearty battle is the greatest respect for him!

The two exchanged palms and did not separate again.

Although Ernie had four arms, he only used two arms and did not use the other two arms against Chu Tianjiang. This is not only respecting Chu Tianjiang, but also a smart approach. You must know that Chu Tianjiang only has two arms, which is more to conform to human habits. Chu Tianjiang has a body composed of composite star cores, and he can change his body form at will through his consciousness, and it is not difficult to give birth to two more arms. In other words, if Ernie used the other two arms, Chu Tianjiang would immediately adjust his body form.

Obviously, Ernie couldn't have had an advantage just because he had two more arms.

On the contrary, having two more arms is a disadvantage.

That is, using two more arms is equivalent to dispersing the combat power, reducing the energy on each arm, and it is equivalent to making the gap with Chu Tianjiang even bigger.

The contest of strength is actually a contest of energy, or a contest of energy control.

It is important to know that the star core itself is the macroscopic manifestation of the energy in the four-dimensional cosmic space in the three-dimensional cosmic space.

After Chu Tianjiang used part of the ninth-level composite star core, Ernie's strength was already below Chu Tianjiang, and if he dispersed the already weak energy, he would only lose more completely.

It's just that even if Ernie concentrates all his energy, he can't be Chu Tianjiang's opponent.

As a warrior, Ernie certainly understands this.

In other words, he no longer expects to defeat Chu Tianjiang, he just wants to fight heartily and prove his strength with battle.

Even if you lose the battle!

In the face of such an opponent, all Chu Tianjiang could do was to fight heartily, give full play to his strength, and let the opponent's strength be proven.

"Chu Tianjiang, you won, you won completely."

"You didn't fail either."

"No, I lost."

"You're just inferior to me in strength, not inferior to me in fighting spirit."

Ernie looked at Chu Tianjiang in surprise.

"If our strength is equal, if you also know the secret of the Dao Star Core, if you have a ninth-level composite star core, maybe it's me who loses, not you."

"You're comforting me?"

"Of course not, I respect you, I respect a fighter like you, because I'm also a fighter."

"It seems that we should not be adversaries."

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If we don't meet here, but somewhere else, maybe we will become friends." ”

"Friends who fight side by side."

"Ernie, you still have a chance."

"I know the truth, but to be defeated by a warrior like you, and to find the ultimate destination in you, is my life's pursuit."

"Survival is more important than anything else."

"No, not so for the fighters."

"Ernie ......"

"Do it, take everything from me and make yourself stronger."

Chu Tianjiang didn't do it immediately, because he really respected Ernie very much and thought that Ernie should live.

"Don't sympathize with me, what a fighter needs is not sympathy, but respect. If you respect me, then defeat me once and for all, and let me get the best of the best. ”

"Is this your wish?"

"You are a warrior, you should know that for a warrior, death is not terrible, what is terrible is that death is meaningless. Losing to you makes you stronger, that's what I'm all about. ”

"But ......"

"I'm sure you can achieve more than just victory in this battle."

Chu Tianjiang was silent, and Ernie already had the idea of dying.

"If one day, you become stronger, I hope you will grant me a request."

"Whatever it is, I'll say yes."

"Spare my fellow citizens and let them be truly free."

Chu Tianjiang was startled and looked at Ernie in disbelief.

"I know that you are different, that you are fundamentally different from me, that you are not fighting for those who are above you, but for yourself and for your civilization. I envy you because you have ideals that you are willing to pay for at all costs, and you have a goal that no one can stop you. It's a pity that I'm not you, and I can't fight for my civilization like you. ”

"Ernie ......"

"But I believe that what you can change is not only the fate of human civilization, but also the fate of all intelligent civilizations."

Chu Tianjiang was silent, because he knew that if he agreed to Ernie's request, it would be equivalent to shouldering a responsibility.

"Promise me, it's my only wish."

"I said, whatever it is, I promise you."

"You promise?"

"We are warriors, and we don't joke."

Ernie smiled, smiled easily, and at the same time relaxed his spirit, gave up resistance, and completely put his life in the hands of Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang didn't want to kill Ernie, but he had no other choice.

After he agreed to Ernie's request, Ernie was completely relieved, no longer had any worries, and no longer had any nostalgia.

Chu Tianjiang did not break his promise, he gave Ernie the ending he dreamed of.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang also knew that when he killed Ernie, he got not only Ernie's compound star core, but also a huge responsibility.

Chu Tianjiang sighed very much, Ernie is a warrior, and he is a great warrior.

Although he is under the control of the Creator, he is not exactly fighting for the Creator, he is fighting for his civilization in this unique way.
