Chapter 31: The Beginning of Transformation (I)
Early the next morning, after a quick breakfast, Ethan was the first to come to the training ground.
It was still early, and the electronic clock in the lounge area showed that it was 5 o'clock in the morning. It is estimated that the sun on the ground has not yet risen, and the surrounding air is still relatively cold, but there are also hard-working employees who have already gotten up to prepare for the day's work.
"Good day, Ethan." Employees passing by greeted Ethan one after another. Although they have lived underground for a long time, there is no difference between day and night, but people still follow the old habit of speaking.
Pressing the handprint on the gate, the gate of the training ground opened, and Ethan began the hard work of the day.
More than an hour later, the training ground was also coming one after another.
Athera strode in energetically, and as soon as she entered, she yelled at Ethan, strongly condemning Ethan's escape from battle last night. Kevin and Carl followed suit, and several of them had a steady routine.
The other members of the combat team also started today's daily training with their heads drowsy, and the hangover was not comfortable. They don't have superhuman physique like Athera, and it's impossible for them to recover quickly.
Karl walked up to Ethan and said, "Ethan, let me put your new skills to the test. ”
"Hehe, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Ethan chuckled and took a stance ready to start sparring with Carl.
Athera and Kevin were also very curious about Cook's fame, so they stood by and watched. As for the field personnel of the combat team, they went to their respective training grounds to start regular training, and did not pay much attention to the duel between Ethan and Karl. After all, no matter how wonderful things are, there will be a day when they get tired of watching too many things, not to mention that they also have their own things to do.
"I'm going to surprise Carl during the juggler's time in effect." Ethan said to himself.
Carl, who was standing across from him, honestly closed his eyes and took a deep breath to adjust his state, completely oblivious to the strange smile of Ethan on the other side of him.
With the appearance of red letters, the battle officially began.
Carl was the first to attack, his toes slamming on the ground, and the explosive power of speed and power equivalent to ten adult men was revealed in an instant.
But to Carl's surprise, Ethan on the opposite side actually rushed towards him, and the distance between the two was instantly shortened under the acceleration.
In every duel, Ethan would always try to dodge, but today he changed his normal routine and attacked Carl.
The two are like two vehicles speeding towards each other, and there is no way to avoid them at such high speeds.
"Bang" Carl didn't expect such a situation at all, and was directly knocked down by Ethan's heavy shoulder when he was caught off guard, followed by the wooden sword that was constantly enlarging in front of him.
"Pop" The two wooden swords collided and made a dull sound.
Sure enough, even if he got a twenty percent agility attribute bonus, his reaction and speed were still quite different from Karl, who was known for his agility. The perfect sneak attack just now was only half successful, and after being knocked down, Carl was still able to make the right reaction and successfully block the sword that was about to stab him in the head.
But now that Karl is lying on the ground, he will not be able to get up for a while and a half, and he cannot let go of such an advantage. The sword dances and points at Carl's most difficult leg.
Carl swung his sword to block as he used his hand to push himself off the ground. In the midst of the hasty response, there were several pains in his feet, and he had already eaten a few swords from Ethan.
"What a quick move! Is that what that is the feature? Ethan has surpassed me in agility. Ashera said in surprise.
"Jugglers? Oh, that's the new trait Ethan got yesterday! Kevin suddenly realized
Rolling over and standing up, Karl pointed his sword forward, assuming a standard defensive stance, ready to react to Ethan's attacks.
The juggler's effect still has a few seconds left, and Ethan doesn't want to waste those seconds, and launches a ferocious and unusual attack with a detached momentum.
Seeing the momentum on Ethan's face, Carl was stunned for a moment.
Since Carl and Ethan played against him, he has always been the attacker, and Ethan is the defender, where have I seen Ethan look like this.
Beneath Ethan's grim countenance, there was a faint murderous intent, as if the opponent in front of him was not Carl, but Cook, who tried to kill him yesterday and made him hate.
"Hah!" Ethan took a breath in his abdomen, and his forearm exerted force, stabbing the wooden sword in his hand like a violent wind towards Carl, so fast that people could almost only see the afterimage of the wooden sword and his arm. In the space of this second, no less than ten swords had been stabbed.
And the stabbing move is the most difficult to block, the attacker condenses the strength of the whole body at one point, and suddenly exerts force, both fast and ruthless. And Ethan's thunderstorm that started at this moment made people faintly feel the wind brought by the sword body.
Stunned, Carl's chest ached, and he was hit by several swords. Seeing this, he quickly cheered up and seriously responded to Ethan's fierce offensive.
On one side is a high-frequency stabbing blow like a robotic hand, and on the other side is an impenetrable sword net that swings like a curtain of water. Ethan and Carl went in and out, bursting into dozens of "crackling" sounds in a matter of seconds.
The wonderful battle between the two not only made Kevin practice nod his head, but also shocked the rest of the training ground, and the team members who were preparing to warm up closest to the two exclaimed.
Ethan seemed to have suddenly changed today, and he actually played back and forth with Carl in the frontal attack.
After a few seconds, Karl gradually became familiar with Ethan's style of play and rhythm, and was ready to adjust his pace and speed to switch from defense to attack.
Ethan, on the other hand, jumped backwards and jumped out of the circle of engagement.
Taking a deep breath, Ethan untied the cells in his body and allowed them to bloom like flowers. The surrounding dust, particles, and even the air were all attracted to Ethan's body like a hundred rivers entering the sea.
For the first time, Karl felt the pressure in Ethan's fight, and he sensed that Ethan's momentum had risen after a wave of retreat, even stronger than he had just been.
"Come!" Carl let out a burst of excitement as the wooden sword in his hand was stained with flames and slashed at Ethan with an indomitable momentum.
The wooden sword froze for a moment as it was about to slash at Ethan, as if it were stuck in a swamp, which was enough time for Ethan to react evasively. Ethan leaned slightly sideways, dodged a sword, and grabbed Carl's shoulder.
A suction force made Carl unable to break free for a while, and Ethan pinched his shoulders, loosened his waist and sank his hips, and threw out a beautiful empty throw.
In mid-air, Carl felt bitter in his heart, he had long expected such a day, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly!
A sword slashed at his back, and suddenly a tearing pain came, and Ethan's sword was three points heavier than usual.
After being knocked to the ground, Carl quickly adjusted his body stance. Ethan's attack followed, the wooden sword clinging to Carl's body, a magnetic force pulling his movements, making it difficult for him to maintain his parrying movements. When Carl saw that Ethan was using old moves and his body had not yet recovered, he swung his sword and attacked him, but was hindered by a repulsive force, and it was difficult to organize a successful attack.
Suction and repulsion came from time to time around Ethan's body, making Carl feel like he was caught in quicksand, and he was in a dilemma.
