"The competition begins." The voice of the system sounded in Ethan's head, and at the same time, the picture in front of him changed:

Desert Guardian Cook Lv.???

It's similar to the picture when Ethan was training with Carl in the training ground, and you can also see the opponent's name, but the opponent's level and health are not displayed, presumably because the level gap between the two sides is too big.

"Heh, level 12 ......" Cook chuckled in his heart, although he could sense that the other party's strength was weak, but he still didn't expect that this kind of guy who had just been born for a few days would dare to challenge himself, should he be said to be brave? Or are you ignorant?

Cook glanced at Ashera and asked, "How did you become the captain?" Why didn't you even teach him this? ”

Bastard! Have a minimum of reverence for the strong, and give me a good tail clamp and leave here. Cook thought to himself.

After speaking, regardless of Athera's reaction, he said to Sandru beside him: "Help me time, if I don't solve him within 10 seconds, give this place to them." ”

Wouldn't it be happier to give them some hope, and then cruelly let them see the facts?

"Understood!" Sandru pulled out his pocket watch from his pocket, and there was not the slightest worry on his face.

10 seconds? Even the female warrior next to her couldn't last more than 10 seconds in Big Cook's hands.

"Boy, keep your eyes open and see clearly!" As soon as Cook's words fell, the whole person disappeared from Ethan's eyes.

At the moment when Cook disappeared, Ethan swung his sword forward like an instinctive stress reaction, the silver gray sword light lit up, and the first half seemed to slash into the air, and it was not until the last moment that the tip of the sword had some real touch.

Boom!

Ethan was knocked more than ten meters away by Cook's palm, and under the terrifying strange force, Ethan's long sword was directly broken, and the thin armor on his chest was even dented. The remaining strength acted on his body, and he felt like he was hit head-on by a speeding vehicle, and the qi and blood in his chest were surging, like a cloud and a sea without vomiting or being unhappy.

"Poof!" Warm blood poured onto the helmet's visor, and Ethan removed it, revealing the vast expanse of Venus in front of him.

Ethan shook his head, trying to regain consciousness.

"Ahh Esango! The people of the fifth group exclaimed, and they nervously tried to surround them, but were stopped by Athera.

They had all seen Ethan's tragic condition, and there was a shallow palm print on the armor on his chest.

"-68 HP when attacked"

"Reduced agility due to the sluggishness effect."

The sand on the ground seemed to be attracted by Cook's palm, climbing up his body and wrapping around his arms like a small sandstorm.

Cook didn't intend to give Ethan any chance, and continued to pounce on Ethan before he could get up, intending to give Ethan the final blow.

Ethan stood up and raised the half-cut sword in his hand tremblingly and tucked it at his waist.

Suddenly remembered that he had promised Caroline before, "You are our last hole card, so your ability must not be exposed." So, he forcibly withdrew the energy that was about to be ignited in his body.

When Cook saw Ethan put on the 'Silver Raid' starting stance, he was stunned for a moment, and wondered in his heart that the Silver Raid was not a skill that could be learned at level 12. When he saw Ethan pounce softly, he realized that he was just copying the moves of the silver raid, with an empty shelf, but he did not have the momentum of the silver raid.

In Cook's eyes, Ethan's sprint with all his might was as slow as an old man walking on crutches. Cook froze slightly in the air, twisted his body, and unleashed a long-accumulating blow.

"Boom!" Cook kicked Ethan across the street with a lateral kick, and the house's decaying concrete pillars and beams shattered, and the unsupported house collapsed, burying Ethan with heavy stones.

"Six seconds! Tsk, it's worthy of Big Brother Cook, and it's just a bare hand. At the end of the competition, Sandru exclaimed.

"Library! Gram! Are you doing this with the intention of making enemies of our refuge!? Athera burst out, rushing in front of Cook and screaming through gritted teeth.

Cook's move is not insignificant, and when Ethan's HP drops to 1, the competition will automatically end. If the collapsed house causes damage to Ethan, Ethan will be killed. Although the killer was Cook, the system will only consider this behavior to be accidental.

Adeline's Ant Machine sped away, and two mechanical arms flew over, picking up Ethan from the rubble.

"Please, this is a test, fists and feet have no eyes, who is the one who is injured and blamed? Besides, I didn't beg you to fight me, he took the initiative to come. Cook spread his hands and said helplessly. Looking at his sincere expression, people who don't know the truth will see it and believe that he is the one who has been wronged.

"Actually, it's okay to let him learn a lesson." Cook said proudly.

"Cook! Remember me what you did today! In the arms of the Ant Machine, Ethan hid his anger in a few words, staring at Cook with his eyes as cold as a wolf hiding in the shadows in the cold winter.

I almost got killed! If he hadn't reacted fast enough just now, curled up his body, and was directly hit in the head by those stones, I'm afraid everything would have really been over.

"The ability is not big, but the tone is not small." Cook was a little scoffing at Ethan's reaction.

"Let's go." Ethan said to Athera.

"Let's work, brothers, this trip should be a lot of harvest today!" Looking at the backs of the people of Vault 125 as they faded away, Cook looked back.

"Isn't it? Haha......"

The voices of Cook and the others grew quieter and quieter, until the team walked out of the corner of the street and could no longer hear those annoying sounds, Ethan suddenly laughed triumphantly.

"Esango...... What happened to you? Adeline, who was holding Ethan in her arms, looked down at Ethan and asked with some concern.

"No, it won't! No way!! True...... Really stolen!? Athella, who looked even more excited than Ethan, stepped forward and asked.

Everyone looked at Ashera in some confusion, not understanding what she meant.

Ethan chuckled, took out a small clay pot from the system backpack, poured a red pill and swallowed it.

【Xiao Huandan】

The names of these rejuvenators are strange, and they don't look like they are produced in their cultural system.

The situation was critical just now, and he didn't even have time to check what he had learned. Now that it is safe, Ethan clicked on the system panel, and in the screen of the battle information, several new data appeared:
