Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

Steve's actions naturally captured the eyes of the officers. Both the officers and the instructors were amazed to see how Steve had personally defeated three opponents at one time.

After all, it was already very difficult for a new recruit to defeat a veteran, and such an even more amazing feat as a recruit defeating three veterans at once had never happened before!

"This batch of recruits has brought me too many surprises!" Lieutenant Terry exclaimed.

"Hahaha, I like this young lad! " Lieutenant Leopold laughed. "With his powerful strength, it will be perfect for him to join our Armored Robot Camp!"

An Armored Robot was different from the small-scale robots that Steve had used before. As the small-scale robot could be automatically operated, it was equivalent to having another body part.

In contrast, the Armored Robot belonged to the large-scale Combat Robot category, each being more than a hundred meters tall and operated from inside the Armored Robot.

The requirements to operate the Armored Robot were very demanding. As such, it was difficult to even find a suitable talent that could manage it among hundreds of soldiers.

"No, no, no. It's more suitable for him to join our Armor Unit, as he has strong combat capabilities." As she looked at Steve, Lieutenant Fanny's eyes were shining.

"I think he's more suitable to be in our Lone Ranger Camp..." said another officer.

Many of the officers looked at Steve, admiring his talent. They all wanted to recruit him for their own units.

With the potential of Steve's current performance, as long as he continued to train well, he would definitely become a trump card in the army. In contrast to his previous two battles, Steve had defeated his opponents by his own strength this time. This was precisely why Steve's talent was now on display for all to see.

"Everyone, when the time comes, Steve will make his own choice as to which unit the will join. The group battle is about to start. Let's take a look at how the recruits are doing," Wendy said calmly.

The noisy meeting room grew quiet in an instant. Even though Steve was good, there was only one of him. Therefore, all of the other recruits were just as important. Even so, it was not easy to pick out the talented ones.

The group battle not only showed the teamwork capabilities of the group, but also revealed the strength of the individuals themselves. Therefore, the officers placed great emphasis on each performance within the group battle.

...

Steve gathered all of the recruits with more than 90% cell activations and said, "The group battle is about to begin. They are surely planning to target me. In order to ensure that we win, we must form a backup action team to support us at any time. Do you have any robots, armors, or large weapons?"

There were a total of twelve people with cell activations of more than 90%. However, Andrew was seriously injured, so he could not participate, and Stuart had chosen to quit. Therefore, there were only ten people left, including Steve.

Although the recruits had won the one-on-one battle, the strength of the recruits camp had been severely weakened by the loss of the two recruits. Moreover, Steve was certain that he would be targeted again. Thus, it would be difficult for him to help out the others when needed.

Sofia and Lucy were among the group with Steve. Fortunately, all of the recruits had robots or armor that could greatly improve the strength of their combat capabilities. If the small team could cooperate well among themselves, it could form a very efficient backup action team.

"These are the robots and pieces of armor that I have prepared for the two of you. Hold on to them." Steve gave two boxes of compressed capsules to Sofia and Lucy.

These sets of robots and armor were the weapons that he had prepared for the two women beforehand. It wasn't until now that he had the opportunity to pass them along to them.

Sofia opened her capsule up to see that there were dozens of little capsules inside, which included two sets of armor and two robots.

"These things are too expensive. I can't accept this." Sofia revealed a shocked expression, then hurriedly pushed the items away.

Although she did not look too closely at the equipment inside the capsule, its contents appeared to worth more than ten million in original gold!

If it was a small gift, she could have accepted it. However, she was afraid to take such valuable items.

"Take them with you. They will be of great use to you." Steve did not allow Sofia to say no.

"Sister, this is the equipment that Steve has prepared for us. Just take it. Moreover, we will need these things during the group battle that is coming up next." Lucy accepted Steve's gift in a candid manner. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with receiving gifts from her man.

Sofia hesitated for a moment, then finally accepted the equipment from Steve. After everything was properly arranged, the one hour was almost over.

Meanwhile, the veteran camp had also finished their preparations. They had experience in cooperating with one another, so it was much easier for them to get ready.

"The preparation time is over. Combatants from both sides, please come to the center of the piazza," Connell said.

There were a total of 54,998 people gathered in the middle of the ring. They were clearly divided into two camps.

"Everyone knows the rules of the game. The camp that has all its participants knocked down first will lose. The side that persists until the end, wins! Remember that you cannot hit those who are already on the ground, and those who admit defeat must stop fighting and leave the ring immediately. If you have any other questions, ask them now." Connell was flying in mid-air, and his voice rumbled through the air and into the audience.

"We have something to announce. Stuart has withdrawn from the group battle," Steve stood up and said.

Connell and the veterans were surprised to hear this. Many of the veterans frowned, as they wanted to beat up Stuart to vent their suppressed anger. Thus, it was a pity that Stuart had chosen to shrink back.

"It's a pity. I had wanted to make use of this opportunity to beat him up."

"Huh! He can escape this time, but not the next time. We will surely have a chance to beat him up one day in the future."

All of the veterans had expressions of self-pity on their faces. However, their anger towards Stuart did not diminish.

"Since there are no more questions from both sides, the competition will officially begin!" Connell made the final announcement.

Ho!

Ho!

Ha!

Ha!

Both camps let out loud cries, their eyes filled with the desire to battle. The countdown to the competition began...

"3… 2…1…"

Beep!

"Attack! Let them know what we are capable of!"

"Attack!"

The veteran camp was the first to launch an assault. They were like fierce lions, charging their prey. Although the desire to battle was equally high in the recruits' camp, they remained still.

"Divide them up according to the plan! Do not let them team up into groups!" Steve's loud voice could be heard.

He had made this command knowing that, if the veterans teamed up, their combat power would increase by several times. Therefore, the first step was to separate them individually from their groups.
