Ethan Smithâs punch was filled with anger, and its power was beyond imagination!
More importantly, the distance between the two was too close, and Jordan Richards had no time to counterattack!
All he could do was quickly cross his arms in front of his face to withstand Ethan Smithâs punch.
âBoom!â
This punch landed solidly on Jordan Richardsâ arm.
In an instant, Jordan Richardsâ figure was sent flying backward, and his arms were numbed!
If it wasnât for the Black Gold Stone protecting his body, this punch would have probably broken his bones!
âYou dare to say one more word, and Iâll kill you!â Ethan Smithâs eyes were wide with rage, and his ferocious face was terrifying to behold.
Jordan Richardsâ face turned slightly cold as he shook his arm, sneering, âAlready so impatient? Heh, itâs just the impotent fury of the incompetent.â
âYou dare to speak!â Ethan Smith stepped forward, and his terrifying aura erupted in an instant!
Jordan Richardsâ expression turned cold, and he said coldly, âI see youâre seeking death!â
As the two were about to clash, Dudley Lynch slowly walked over.
He stood between the two, facing Ethan Smith, and said with a faint smile, âMr. Smith, after all, Captain Richards is our team leader and our senior, you should at least show some respect.â
Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes and sneered, âDudley Lynch, what kind of nonsense are you spouting now?â
Dudley Lynch didnât get angry. He leaned back with his hands behind him and slowly said, âNot only are you disrespectful, but you also resort to violence. This is the reason why they look down on us, you know?â
âYou sure are full of shit.â Ethan Smith walked step by step towards Dudley Lynch.
âTwo despicable colluders, talking to me about some noble principles? Do you think youâre qualified?â Ethan Smith yelled.
Dudley Lynch sneered, âTo be honest, after losing to you last time, Iâve been reflecting on my mistakes and practicing day and night.â
âNow, Iâve made some progress, and I really want to test your skills, Mr. Smith.â
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith couldnât help but laugh, âAlright, you escaped last time, but letâs see who can save you this time!â
After saying that, Ethan Smith bellowed, and the Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist immediately rose, aiming straight at Dudley Lynch!
Dudley Lynch refused to be outdone. He moved his hands quickly in front of him, conjuring a black Inner Strength!
âPff!â
Ethan Smithâs fist slammed heavily into the energy, but the expected clash didnât happen.
That energy was like a ball of cotton. The moment Ethan Smith touched it, the force from his body vanished.
It felt like throwing a punch with all his strength only to hit a pile of cotton.
Dudley Lynch sneered, âIt seems that Mr. Smith doesnât know what âuse softness to conquer strengthâ means.â
Ethan Smith stared coldly at Dudley Lynch and squinted, âDudley Lynch, your physical body seems to be rather fragile. All your abilities rely on that thing inside your body, right?â
Dudley Lynch stood with his hands behind his back, neither admitting nor denying it.
âAll you can rely on is his immense Inner Strength for support. In other words, youâre nothing but a puppet now.â Ethan Smith sneered.
âAre you even qualified to be called the Number One Person of Central Plains, being this kind of walking corpse?â
Dudley Lynch sneered, âHistory only remembers the winners, no matter what means they use to achieve victory.â
After dropping this sentence, Dudley Lynch turned to look at Jordan Richards and respectfully said, âCaptain Richards, I request to fight Ethan Smith.â
Jordan Richards had been waiting for this moment, and Dudley Lynch was obviously speaking deliberately for him to hear.
âYou may.â Jordan Richards said lightly.
âYoung people should engage in more competitions and learn from each other.â
Seeing this, Dudley Lynchâs mouth curled into a cold smile.
âIf I win against him, I will be ranked fourth, right?â Dudley Lynch asked.
âOf course.â Jordan Richards nodded.
âGood!â Dudley Lynch immediately looked coldly at Ethan Smith.
He was wrapped in a layer of black energy, which appeared like a fluid, slowly surrounding him.
âScrew you, instead of challenging the aristocratic family of the Capital City, you want to fight your own people. Let me deal with you!â
At this moment, Frederick Cohen suddenly stepped forward and stood beside Ethan Smith.
His whole body was burning with vitality, and his fierce body was red all over.
It must be said that Frederick Cohen lived up to his name and was incredibly impulsive in nature.
Dudley Lynch glanced at Frederick Cohen and said coldly, âYouâre not even worthy to compete with me. Furthermore, who said youâre my own people? Get lost!â
Furious, Frederick Cohen yelled, âI donât want to be your own people either. Try eating my fist first!â
Frederick Cohenâs moves were flashy, relying only on his fierce physical strength.
However, the result of his punch was the same as Ethan Smithâs: his fist sank directly into that mass of energy, dissipating all his power instantly.
âWhat the hell is this? If youâre a man, face me head-on!â Frederick Cohen yelled.
Dudley Lynch coldly said, âYou really donât know how to die. I donât mind killing you first!â
âIâm not afraid of your half-human, half-ghost, sissy self!â Frederick Cohen roared.
Ethan Smith pulled Frederick Cohen aside and shook his head, âThis is between me and him, Frederick. Stand back.â
Frederick Cohen frowned and snorted coldly, âFine, after youâre done, itâs my turn to clean him up!â
Ethan Smith ignored Frederick Cohen. He knew very well that the Dudley Lynch in front of him was not simple.
His strength would not be weaker than any elegantly dressed young man present.
âEthan Smith, Iâve been looking forward to this day for a long time.â Dudley Lynch squinted his eyes.
âEveryone says that the chaotic body is invincible among its peers. Today, Iâd like to experience it for myself.â
Before his words fell, Dudley Lynch launched his attack.
With a wave of his hand, the black energy surrounding him exploded towards Ethan Smith!
This power was invisible and seemed to be soft Inner Strength, but when it reached Ethan Smith, it transformed into a fierce fist!
Ethan Smith dared not slack off and immediately clenched his fist to strike back!
However, the moment Ethan Smithâs fist collided, the energy once again turned soft, wrapping around Ethan Smithâs fist!
âBoom!â
Before Ethan Smith could react, another wave of energy transformed into a fierce form and landed heavily on his side!
The enormous impact sent Ethan Smith flying!
âThis is both hard and soft combined, specifically designed to counter people like you with strong physical bodies.â Dudley Lynch said sinisterly.
Ethan Smith stood up from the ground, looked at Dudley Lynch coldly, and furrowed his brow slightly.
The Inner Strength surrounding Dudley Lynch was extremely peculiar. It made every punch Ethan Smith threw feel like he was hitting air, and the sensation was very uncomfortable.
âEthan Smith, itâs time for you to pay the price!â Dudley Lynch snorted, focusing his mind, directing the mass of energy to shoot at Ethan Smith once more!
Ethan Smithâs eyes narrowed, his whole body burning with vitality. He was wrapped in a spiritual fire, purple and gold blended together, exuding an overwhelming pressure!
âWhat softness overcoming hardness? As long as the power is strong enough, it can break anything!â Ethan Smith roared.
