"How could you be stronger than me?" Helena's face was full of surprise.

Her basic cell value had already reached 350 points, while Steve had just broken through and become an original being, so his basic cell value should only be around 300 points.

Hence, in terms of physical strength, Helena was stronger than Steve by 50 points, which was a difference that should allow her to beat Steve easily! Yet, now that the two of them had fought each other, she was the one who was at a disadvantage!

Unfortunately, Helena did not know that Steve had been able to increase his combat powers by 21% via his spiritual powers. In other words, Steve's basic cell value could produce 363 points of combat power now, which 13 points higher than Helena!

Moreover, this was not even everything that Steve had in his a.r.s.enal, as Steve had yet to use his Lemuria's weapons and skills!

"It's my turn now!" Steve said. As he stepped forward and punched Helena in the face, the strong force of his fist brought about a gust of wind.

Even though Helena did not know what Steve had done to improve his physical strength by so much, she knew that now was definitely not the time to fight head-on with him! So, she crossed her hands in front of her to defend herself.

Bang!

Steve landed a punch on her arm. The powerful force threw Helena back, but her shattered heel bones caused her movements to be very slow.

Steve did not continue attacking her. Instead, he asked her calmly, "Do I have the right to take on three of you at once now?"

The entire crowd was silent, as everyone was looking at Steve with horror. Although they had only sparred two times, everyone could see that Steve had the advantage over Helena. In fact, they were positive that Helena was bound to lose if they continued the fight.

"Oh my G.o.d! I must be dreaming! He could actually suppress Helena!"

"The first total suppression in the battle between recruits and veterans."

Following the voiced shock of the veterans, the recruits' cheers and shouts were like a tsunami...

"Steve! Steve! Steve! "

"Amazing! How did he manage to suppress Helen?"

"Hahaha! Who said we would lose?"

"Great job!"

The challenge had begun with Andrew beating Charles in the first round by deceiving him. However, it had also been a tragic defeat, since he had been badly beaten in the end.

In the second round, Stuart did everything he could to achieve his goal. Even though he won that round, he used despicable means to do so, so it was a dishonorable victory that had angered the veteran camp.

But, the third round was very different! Steve had relied on his own strength to suppress Helena, and if he wanted to, he could defeat Helena now and win! This compet.i.tion held great significance, as Steve had proven to the veterans that the recruits might not always lose to them!

Helena's arm felt numb, as the strength of Steve's punch just now was even stronger than her own. Her face was full of anger and she felt humiliated. As a woman with high self-esteem, she couldn't stand to be belittled like this!

"I will kill you!" Helena roared with anger, intending to lunge towards Steve and fight him with all her might.

"Hold on!" Connell suddenly stopped Helena, then looked straight at Steve and asked, "Why do you have to fight three against one?"

He then continued. "After winning this round, the number of veterans will have been reduced by 300 people, so even if you lost the next two rounds, the number of people will also have been reduced by 100. So, you'll still win no matter what."

He then added, "Moreover, although you are a little stronger than Helena, you still may be defeated by three people altogether!"
