"I feel he is totally unworthy to enter Apex Academy!"
Several others chimed in agreement.
Due to the short-haired girl's calm and forceful handling during the crisis, comforting everyone's emotions, she now had many people gathered around her, forming a small group.
Upon hearing this, the glasses-wearing boy adjusted his spectacles, looking oddly at the short-haired girl.
"Did you notice something?" Clara Song's faint voice rang out.
The boy with the glasses was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Clara Song, an aloof Ice Queen like her, would take the initiative to strike up a conversation with him! Having always been shorter than his peers, the boy with the glasses had long been dismissed as a kid and usually wasn't invited to join others in play. Not many were eager to interact with him either. Of course, in the boy's view, they were all simply jealous of his intelligence and talent.
Stiffening his expression, the bespectacled boy held his head high and replied, "Call me 'brother,' and I'll tell you."
Clara Song simply walked away.
The boy with the glasses furrowed his brows. "Who would have thought that Clara Song, an Ice Queen like her, also judges people based on their appearance, failing to see my talents!" He shook his head regretfully.
Ten minutes later, Commander Miller chased after them with hundreds of soldiers, accompanied by two Battle Masters. At this moment, all the soldiers wore faces full of excitement. The expressions on the two co-traveling War Sects were somewhat strange.
"Why are you guys back so quickly? Has the monster tide dissipated?"
Commander Zenith quickly stepped forward to question.
One of the Battle Masters hurriedly reported, saying: "Reporting to the officer, the monster tide has not dissipated, it's just..."
Before he could finish his words, Commander Zenith interrupted him directly. "The monster tide hasn't dissipated, why are you back?!"
"If they catch up, these people will be in danger again!" Commander Zenith was very angry. He originally thought he could wait until the monster tide naturally dispersed, then safely retreat with the people on the train. As it turned out, he didn't expect that these people would return so quickly.
"Brother Zenith, don't be angry, the matter of the monster tide is not as you imagined..." Commander Miller came over with a smile at this time.
"You can still laugh?!" Commander Zenith was furious. "The day is about to dawn now, and the temperature in the wilderness will rise to fifty degrees within half an hour!"
"If there's another pursuit by the beasts, apart from the three of us, the rest of you, you're all going to die here!" Commander Zenith shouted sternly. Seeing Commander Miller's speechless expression made Commander Zenith even angrier.
"Eh? Ethan? You're still here?"
At this moment, among the specially recruited students, some spotted Ethan standing in the lineup, his face somewhat dull. At this time, Ethan looked quite disheveled with his upper clothes gone. His body was fully covered with blood stains, his hair was messy, and he was caked in dust.
"Ethan, you're still alive?" Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Commander Zenith, who was in a rage, upon hearing that Ethan was still there, immediately left Commander Miller and walked up to Ethan. Seeing Ethan's dull expression, Commander Zenith became even angrier.
"Disorderly conduct, fleeing from the team without authorization, if you were a soldier, do you believe me I could make you pay?!" Commander Zenith said, while reaching out to grasp Ethan's neck, intending to lift him up.
Smack!
With a loud bang!
Commander Zenith's hand was slapped away by Ethan.
"Cut it out!" Ethan frowned. At this moment, Ethan was examining his attributes panel and task rewards. After slaughtering the majority of the Iron-Armored Rhino herd, Ethan's gene awakening degree had finally reached Level Ten!
Simultaneously, upon his arrival here, the system also indicated that his task had been completed! Moreover, the completion rate of the task was a staggering two hundred percent!! A bonus reward was triggered!
As Ethan was about to claim the reward, Commander Zenith came up to interrupt him. Regarding their previous conversation, Ethan didn't hear a thing, with all his focus on the system.
"Huh?" Seeing that his hand was pushed away by Ethan, Commander Zenith was infuriated.
"Looking for death!"
With a roar, Commander Zenith's arm turned black, his normal fingers at this point turned into pitch-black claws with a metallic sheen! Again, he was aiming for Ethan's neck!
"Are you done yet?!"
Ethan was angry now. Why can't this man read the situation? Always cutting in!
Bang!
The sound of metal collision echoed as Ethan's palm, glowing faintly with golden light, clamped down Commander Zenith's claw!
Commander Zenith's sharp claw scraped across Ethan's golden palm, but it didn't leave a single mark!
Is this a special recruit who just finished high school?
Commander Zenith somewhat couldn't believe it.
While Commander Zenith was still surprised, Ethan's foot, faintly glowing with golden light, kicked him directly in the abdomen! At that moment, Commander Zenith had a kind of illusion. It didn't feel like he was kicked by someone, but as if he was hit by a heavy armored vehicle!
Commander Zenith disappeared instantly at the spot.
Next moment, boom! The nearby carriages were smashed into a V-shape.
"Cough cough!"
Lying in the deepest part of the V-shape, Commander Zenith coughed twice, a bit dizzy in his head. Was he kicked away?
And at this moment, Ethan unstrapped the Sky-Cleaving Great Axe on his back.
"You know, you're really annoying!"
Ethan didn't exactly have a good temper, and getting interrupted twice by the opponent had irritated him. His previously normal physique began to grow bigger, with terrifying muscles bulging out.
Seeing Ethan getting furious, the surrounding warriors turned pale in fear.
"Ethan bro! Calm down!"
"Ethan bro, you mustn't do this!"
"We're all on the same side, Ethan bro, don't be impulsive!"
A swarm of warriors crowded up, holding back Ethan.
And at this time, the Conductor, as well as the special recruits, were all dumbfounded. Everything happening in front of their eyes, they simply couldn't process it with their brains!
Did Ethan knock the Warlord Commander Zenith flying?
Are the warriors calling Ethan 'Ethan bro'?
Moreover, is Ethan planning to kill Commander Zenith?
Every single thing exceeds their understanding.
