Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Bai E and Rose's battle was the one with the latest result, and warriors who struggled to defeat their opponents naturally had no room to catch their breath.

Almost the moment the victory of Bai E was announced, the lineup for the subsequent matches was arranged.

After two rounds of elimination, the new soldiers who provided easy points had mostly been swept away, and the few who remained were no longer lucky enough to encounter Bai E.

"Next match, 95B27 versus 94A17!"

The muscular man cracked his knuckles, his gaze fixed on Bai E, filled with undisguised aggression.

"I've heard of you, the new honor of our orc lineage. Don't worry, I'll go easy on you!"

He didn't look like he planned to go easy at all...

Bai E's face showed no expression; he stood seemingly relaxed, but inwardly he had tensed, ready to explode into action at any moment.

"Begin!"

At the instructor's command from the sidelines, the muscular man charged at him immediately.

Words were just a distraction; whether or not the opponent was affected, he intended to close the gap step by step by step...

[You demonstrate exceptional skill in close combat, instantly overpowering your enemy. Combat Proficiency Experience +7 (+1).] (A very small chance to awaken a special attribute.)

[Current Combat Proficiency Experience 42/300. At 300 points, you will master "Combat Specialization Layer 2."]

[You deal 7 points of striking damage to your target! Causing the target to fall into a "stunned" state.]

Bai E, having struck the opponent's jaw with a low palm push, slowly withdrew his hand as the unnamed muscular man slowly toppled backward.

"Bang!"

The body hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Even the toughest body has its weak spots.

Bai E felt somewhat disappointed; having been tempered by Rose, he had hoped all his adversaries would bring the same pressure that could push him to improve.

But it seemed, even if the warrior was of a higher Combat Specialization level, the performance might not be as precise as Rose's.

Too crude... or rather, they didn't take themselves seriously enough.

Underestimating your opponent comes with a price.

"95B27, wins!"

[Side Mission—Finals, progress increased, current reward: Universal Experience +400.]

[Into the sixth round...]

If he encountered another pushover, the chances were good.

However... Bai E's eyes swept across the entire arena; after several rounds of elimination, there were only 32 left, including himself.

In an army camp of over ten thousand, selecting the most skilled fighters and then going through several rounds of elimination, the chances of still finding an easy opponent were probably not great...

What lay ahead was likely going to be an unspeakably difficult fight.

The only advantage he had was probably that he still maintained full stamina until now.

...

"Next match, 95B27 versus 95B09!"

"Blood God?"

"That newcomer is done for~"

"Meeting Blood God in nearly the fifth round, he's just unlucky."

"If I were him, I'd just surrender to spare myself the pain, Blood God doesn't know the meaning of holding back."

The moment the matchup appeared, there were voices that seemed not sure whether they were reveling in misfortune or quietly warning.

Bai E's opponent clearly had quite the reputation.

In fact, Bai E didn't need reminders from others; he could tell the opponent's level from the drop rates displayed above the opponent's head.

[95B09/Blood God (Human) (Ally) (Elite) — Using "Lucky Strike" to kill will drop: Guaranteed (Fresh Meat*2400, Combat Experience 2500 points); Highly Probable (Trait: Regenerative Blood, Mastery: Combat Specialization Layer +1, not exceeding layer 6, Mastery: Agile Weapon Specialization Layer +1, not exceeding layer 6, Mastery: Heavy Weapon Specialization Layer +1, not exceeding layer 6); Possible (Skill: Extreme Pain Suppression, Specialty: Frenzy's Surge.)]

Damn!

The panel was so luxuriously unbelievable, I wanted to smash it...

Chapter Read:

But even if it was a piece of crap, I still had to give it a try.

Bai E's body pressed down lightly, eyes gleaming with eagerness, ready to push his own limits.

The Blood God was a tall and burly Caucasian male, his muscles not bloated, but filled with an explosive power. He seemed like an oversized version of Bai E.

His fists were at least one and a half times larger than Bai E's, covered with thick calluses, and his skin was yellowish, showing his toughness.

Strong and resilient, the sheer oppression from his stature alone was enough to take anyone's breath away.

Looking at Bai E, Blood God slowly approached, no words spoken, just a slight parting of his lips, revealing an intimidating cold gleam.

Fighting should be done fiercely!

He didn't like to hold back.

…

[You were hit by the opponent's attack, you received 3 points of striking damage.]

[You were hit by the opponent's attack, you received 4 points of striking damage.]

[You were hit by the opponent's attack, you received 6 points of striking damage, you have entered "Light Injury" status, combat effectiveness drastically reduced!]

[You were hit by the opponent's attack, you received 10 points of striking damage, your current mental reflexes are sluggish, combat state significantly deteriorated, withdraw from combat immediately! Warning, withdraw from combat immediately!]

It had only been a moment since the fight began, and the warnings on the panel flashed urgently like a stream of water.

The opponent's attacks were like a fierce storm, easily breaking through all of Bai E's defenses.

Even though Bai E had been rapidly growing in all aspects since birth, in a one-on-one close-quarter bare-handed fight against such a warrior, who would be considered top-tier even in a military camp, he was still no match at all.

Struck by a punch on the side of his face, Bai E's vision went dark. The Blood God's fist felt as if it held the weight of a thousand jun, hitting his face was no better than being struck by a truck.

It was unclear if the opponent had used Gene Optimization Solution, without it... that would probably be the peak combat power under a 15-point physical limit.

The last coherent thought in Bai E's fuzzy consciousness was this.

"Bang!"

[You were hit by the opponent's attack, you received 8 points of striking damage, you have entered "Comatose" status.]

"95B09, wins!"

[Side Mission—The Final, progress settlement. Current reward: +400 general experience.]

[Side Mission—The Final, completed.]

[Mission reward: +400 general experience, issued.]

…

Some bustling noises rustled into his ears, and on his face, it felt like there was a warm tongue gently licking.

Bai E tried to open his eyes, white light gleamed through the slits, making it hard to see.

After struggling to open them wider, the creamy bright and soft light came into view, and the black shadow holding the towel paused, pulling back with some surprise, "You're awake?"

The voice was very familiar...

Bai E blinked, finally seeing everything in front of him clearly.

It was the nurse in training... Mashati, yes, that was her name.

"Hiss~"

Subconsciously trying to move his body, a pain akin to broken bones spread from all over, and glancing down, he realized he was wrapped up like a zongzi.

Memories before losing consciousness slowly came back, and the corners of Bai E's mouth turned bitter.

[The gap is really wide...]

"Has he woken up?"

Carlos's voice came from a distance, rapidly barging in.
