Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

Thermal weapons were not allowed. Only cold weapons, like knives and swords and Fundamental Techniques, could be used.

This was indeed fair. After all, if there was no restriction to the usage of weapons, whoever had the most destructive weapons would win. Moreover, the damage caused by the weapons of mass destruction could not be underestimated, as they could cause numerous casualties!

The rules of the PK battle were simple and easy to understand. Steve commented upon this fact, stating, "The rules are fine, but I still have a question."

Steve then asked, "In the group battle that is coming up next, are weapons of mass destruction still allowed? If so, then that is unfair to recruits like us!"

Connell heard his words, frowned, then said, "The two teams in the group battle are not allowed to use weapons of mass destruction either."

"I think we should add a few more conditions. Specifically, that we recruits can use armor related weapons, but not the weapons of mass destruction that come with the armor weapons," Steve suggested. He then added, "Although we have an advantage in terms of numbers, it is clear that, even with one against ten, we would have little chance of winning."

Connell's eyes looked towards the veterans, silently asking for their advice. After the veterans discussed it among themselves, a first-class soldier stood up and said, "I, Jonathan, accept this rule on behalf of the veterans. However, when using the armors and robots, one can only use their fists and feet to attack, not other weapons."

Under such great constraints, the effect of the robots would be greatly weakened. In fact, they could only be used to protect oneself from harm, not change the outcome After the two sides agreed to these added rules of the game, the battle began.

It made no difference which veteran soldier represented the veteran troop, as there was a huge disparity in the strength between the recruits and the veterans. Hence, even an ordinary soldier could easily defeat any of the recruits.

"Let's decide who will be our representative for this round of battle," Steve said.

Among the Top 10 recruits, the bottom three shook their heads. They knew the limitations of their own capabilities, so they immediately chose to give up.

"Whoever wants to fight, come and sign up with me. Then, we will vote on it," Steve said.

"I want to fight!" Sofia exclaimed.

"Me too!" Lucy echoed.

Steve looked at the two of them. After using the Red Night's Blood to practice, they both had evolved much faster than before. In fact, they were both over 95% now!

With their strengths, they may be able to battle with an Original Being. Even if they were to lose, they would not be defeated too badly.

In the end, only eighteen people signed up. Among them, were the top five chosen: Steve, Stuart, Sofia, Lucy and Andrew.

"It has been confirmed!" Steve said, while relaying to Connell who would be the top five representatives.

In the middle of the piazza, a huge fighting ring suddenly rose up. One of the veterans immediately jumped up and landed in the middle of the ring, announcing loudly, "I am Charles, a second-class soldier. Who among you dares to challenge me?"

Charles was wearing red gloves. As he was a tall man with strong muscles, he gave others an impression that he was an expert boxer.

"As this is the first round, let me test their strength first," said Andrew, who had just stood up.

As the recruits were unclear about how big a disparity was present between them and the veteran soldiers, the first person to go to the ring would be placed in the most dangerous situation. He would also be the one with the highest probability of failure.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Steve asked.

"Ha ha, please don't belittle me. I've improved a lot recently!" Andrew laughed with confidence.

Hearing that, Steve and others did not try to dissuade him. So, Andrew jumped into the ring and took off his clothes, revealing the brass-colored skin and strong muscles on his fit upper body. His healthy body looked powerful, with defined muscles, like a cheetah!

"Recruit Andrew!" After introducing himself, Andrew shouted to Charles, "Come on!"

Charles smiled, waved to Andrew with confidence, then said, "Come on, let me see your strength."

Andrew's eyes displayed a ray of fierce light. Suddenly, he looked like a fierce leopard that was ready to pounce.

He then shot forward like a lightning bolt, slamming into Charles directly!

Wham!

Charles was thrown backwards by the huge impact.

"Ah!" Andrew shouted.

Suddenly, his skin was covered with a layer of steel-like metallic light, and his muscles became even more powerful. In an instant, he had caught up with Charles, who had been thrown off the ground.

The minute he caught up with him, Andrew punched him! Charles felt as if a cannon had exploded on his chest!

Wham!

Charles was thrown backwards once again. He was like a sandbag being thrown to the edge of the ring, sliding down the wall of the ring once he made contact with it.

"Good!!"

"Great!"

"Andrew, good job! That's it!"

"Haha! The veterans are not as good as we had first imagined. Look at how Andrew defeated him with just two punches!"

"Catch up and KO him!"

The recruits sent forth numerous exhilarating cries from the audience. Initially, they had not been hopeful. But, now that they had seen Charles being thrown backwards by Andrew with just two punches, great joy filled their chest and they were hopeful of winning!

Steve, however, was not at all happy because he observed that many veterans looked too calm. Some even had wry smiles on their faces. They did not look like they were defeated at all.

At that moment, Charles rose slowly from the ground, seeming to have sustained no injuries whatsoever! Even his left face, which had just suffered Andrew's punch, was only a bit red and swollen.

Charles patted his chest, then asked, "Do you only have that small amount of strength? You are too weak! If felt like I was being bitten by tiny mosquitoes! Did you really try your best?"

Hearing this, the recruits, who were excited and screaming, seemed to become choked. The entire atmosphere was completely quiet. Some of them even looked pale with fear.

"This is impossible! Even if you are an Original Being, my two punches would surely have injured you!" Andrew looked uneasy and his eyes were filled with shock. He then asked, "How much is the basic value of your cells?"

"Heh heh, you can rest assured that the new recruits are disciplined and the basic value of their cells will be over 350 points!" Charles laughed, then added, "The basic value of my cells is only 330 points."

Based on this data, without the use of Fundamental Techniques to increase combat power, Charles was much stronger than Andrew...

"He just used the defensive Fundamental Technique to block Andrew's attacks." Steve looked grim, then said, "He did to attack Andrew's confidence."

Sure enough, Andrew had attacked with all of his strength and used the Fundamental Techniques. Yet, he did not hurt Charles a bit, which was a big blow to Andrew's confidence. Even the morale of the new recruits was brought low.
