Moreover, one was the smartest person in the military base, and the other was the sharpest knife in the military base! As such, the two had shared a cordial working relations.h.i.+p for many years.

"Stuart has successfully angered the veterans, so the next fighter will have to bear the greatest pressure, even becoming the object of the veterans' anger! The only thing we don't know is who they would send out as cannon fodder to bear that burden!" A playful smile appeared on Chief Instructor Wendy's face.

The next person to go up would be in the most danger, as the veterans were now angry and they just wanted to get back at the recruits for Jonathan's incident.

"I'll go next!" Sofia gritted her teeth and volunteered.

"No! I should have gone during the last round, so I'll go this time!" Lucy walked out stubbornly, too.

"All of you stand down and leave the next round to me." Steve's face was calm. "They are in a rage now, so they will not have any reservations. It's better to leave such a dangerous job to the strongest men."

"No! I have grown stronger!" Lucy said, refusing to give in.

"I won't hide behind a woman." Steve smiled at Lucy and Sofia, then said, "Again, as your man, I should protect you at times like this."

Lucy still wanted to fight, but Sofia held her back and said, "This is too dangerous. Let Steve go."

"Be careful." A tenderness appeared in Sofia's gaze.

"You can rest a.s.sured that I will not lose." Steve smiled with confidence.

He jumped into the ring, looked at the veteran across from him, then announced, "Don't waste your time! The three of you who remain should come on up, altogether!"

As the veterans thought that they had heard him wrong, they began laughing.

"Hah...What did this guy say? He wants to fight against all three of us?"

"Hahaha, they're only recruits, yet they dare to be so arrogant. They've only won two rounds. They really think we are that easy to push around!"

"One against three? He's crazy!"

"Now, the recruits are getting madder and madder, so we must teach them a tough lesson."

Although they had lost two rounds, they did not really think they were inferior to the recruits. It could only be said that the recruits had been lucky. Starting from the third round onwards, the veterans planned to fight seriously, so that the recruits would learn a lesson!

But, no one had expected that Steve, who was now in the ring, would be so arrogant that to want to fight the remaining three veterans alone! Even the recruits were shocked by Steve's request.

They knew that Steve was strong, but even an ordinary veteran could easily beat their top three, and it was pure luck that had allowed them to win the first two rounds. As such, they thought that Steve had really gotten a big head!

"Alright then, see for yourself if I am qualified to challenge three people at once!" Steve's eyes became fierce.

Then, suddenly, a powerful force erupted from him, as if a bomb had exploded. The invisible force caused a wave to sweep toward the veteran camp. The strong force was as strong as a tsunami, growing stronger by the second!

"An original being!"

"Oh! He's actually an original being! "

"Becoming an original being, even before entering the military base! How many years has it been since such a genius has appeared?"

"No wonder he's so arrogant! He has the right to be!"

The veterans were all shocked, as this powerful force was much stronger than an original being with a basic cell value of 300 points! Because the veterans were all original beings, they were able to understand how difficult it was to break through the 1% bottleneck!

If not for the resources and tasks and challenges of the military base, they would not have been able to break through and become original beings in just one year. Some soldiers even took nearly a year to break through the 1% bottleneck!

Yet, here Steve was, without entering the military base, relying on his own strength to break through and become an original being! The military base has not seen such a genius in 50 years!
