Chapter 324: Battle of Strength_l
Returning the favor naturally meant that Micah Ortiz had to intentionally let Ethan Smith win.
Although Micah agreed verbally, he was extremely unwilling in his heart. As a disciple of Ignacio Burke, how could he lose to a country bumpkin?
“Commander Burke, I understand.” Micah bowed and said.
On the other side, Commander Wood looked at Ethan Smith with a smile. He didn’t believe that Ethan could defeat Micah, so his worries vanished completely.
“Ethan, don’t blame me for this.” Commander Wood laughed and patted Ethan on the shoulder.
Ethan said, “Commander Wood, why would I blame you? As long as I defeat
Micah quickly, we will still be the number one team in the Chuzzle Battle
Zone. ”
Commander Wood laughed, “Good, good. If you can really defeat Commander
Burke’s direct disciple, I’ll be impressed!”
Ethan remained silent. Though he didn’t have a master, the heritage left by his father was as good as a treasure.
With that knowledge, Ethan wasn’t afraid of anyone.
“Next, please welcome both coaches to the stage!” the host shouted.
With a loud cry, Micah was the first to step onto the stage.
Ethan didn’t waste any time and quickly stood in front of Micah.
As their eyes met, it seemed as if sparks were flying in the air.
A trace of anger flickered across Micah’s face.
His eagerness to prove himself made him want to defeat Ethan even more.
“Commander Burke said that you deliberately let us win just now. That can’t be true, right?” Micah asked coldly.
Ethan laughed, “If you think it’s true, then it’s true. If you think it’s fake, then it’s fake.”
Micah sneered, “Commander Burke told me to take it easy on you in the second half and return the favor.”
“Do you think I should follow Commander Burke’s order?”
Ethan quickly waved his hand, “Please don’t! I don’t want to win dishonorably.”
Micah laughed, “To be honest, I never intended to take it easy on you! Since
Commander Burke said I’m not as good as you, I’ll prove him wrong!”
As his words fell, Micah’s aura exploded! The entire training field was suddenly filled with whirlwinds!
The terrifying pressure swept over Ethan like a torrent!
“A Grandmaster of the Fourth Rank?” Ethan raised his eyebrows, but his eyes showed no panic.
This only served to infuriate Micah even more! As Ignacio Burke’s direct disciple, how could he not be angry when looked down upon by a junior who had just entered the grandmaster realm!
“I’ll use my iron fist to crush you personally!” Micah said coldly.
However, Ethan didn’t pay attention to Micah’s warning. He calculated the time and muttered, “It took Capital City Battle Zone over two hours to beat Dragon
Tiger Team just now. That means, as long as I defeat you within two hours, the Chuzzle Battle Zone will be first.”
“Bastard, are you looking down on me?!” Micah was instantly furious!
He no longer wasted any time, and his terrifying aura suddenly erupted, lifting himself off the ground!
Like a cannonball, he charged towards Ethan!
As a warrior from the Capital City Battle Zone, his fighting style was more influenced by physical martial arts.
Therefore, Micah’s fists were as fast as a storm, and he rapidly attacked Ethan! Ethan moved like a nimble bird, dodging between the gaps of Micah’s punches.
He avoided each punch with perfect timing.
The dazzling battle tactics earned him cheers from the crowd.
Everyone was watching this battle, not wanting to miss any detail.
In the blink of an eye, Micah had thrown hundreds of punches, but his hit rate was miserably low, and his attacks barely left a mark on Ethan.
Micah glared at Ethan and said, “All you can do is dodge?”
Ethan laughed, “After all, you are Commander Burke’s disciple. I don’t want to make you lose too badly.”
“Arrogant!” Micah’s anger was uncontrollable! The feeling of being looked down upon made him furious!
Micah’s fists shone with light, and it seemed as if fog was condensing around them!
His arms emitted a red glow, and it seemed as if blood was boiling beneath the skin!
“The Inner Strength has evaporated?” Ethan was slightly surprised.
What kind of power could turn the Inner Strength surrounding his arms into fog?
“Die!” Micah roared, and his fists pounded towards Ethan!
“Boom!”
Ethan raised his fists to meet the attack, and the terrifying force cracked the ground beneath their feet!
Even the officials in the stands far away were affected!
As the dust settled, the two were still in a fist-to-fist lock, seemingly evenly
matched.
Micah frowned and said coldly, “You can actually withstand my punch. Impressive.”
Ethan laughed, “Your punch is indeed powerful, but it lacks penetration.”
“You only have brute force, but it’s not enough to be fatal. When faced with a tough opponent, you will feel helpless.”
Micah’s face changed, and he roared, “I don’t need your advice!”
Ignacio Burke, on the stage, heard their conversation clearly.
He slowly stood up and muttered a few words, ‘Micah has lost. There’s no need to watch any further.”
After speaking, Ignacio Burke turned around and left without looking back.
Commander Wood noticed this and his face changed. He whispered, “Oh no,
Commander Burke couldn’t be angry, could he?”
Micah didn’t notice Ignacio’s departure. He glared at Ethan and said angrily, “What right do you have to lecture me!”
After speaking, Micah’s fists surged with energy once more! With almost all his strength, he struck towards Ethan!
For an instant, his fists seemed to burst with airwaves, nearly tearing apart Ethan’s clothes!
Ethan didn’t dodge, and once again met the attack head-on.
The second clash of fists still had no outcome.
Ethan shook his head and said, “It’s still the same problem. Although your force is great, it’s not fatal, and your penetration is almost non-existent.”
Micah clenched his teeth and said, “It’s easy for you to talk. It’s as if you’re so capable! If you have the ability, show me your punch!”
Ethan nodded, “That’s exactly what I intended. Watch carefully, Commander Ortiz.”
After speaking, Ethan stepped forward, his body leaning back, and then he threw a powerful punch!
This seemingly unadorned punch was filled with destructive power!
The force that could shatter anything in its path struck Micah’s entire body!
The terrifying fist wind made the sand fly and whipped the nearby hair!
Micah felt as if his face was about to be torn off by the fierceness of the punch!
However, this punch ultimately stopped right in front of Micah’s face and didn’t land on him.
“Do you see? This is the combination of penetration and power.” Ethan lowered his fist and walked away..
