Clare Richardson’s worries were not unfounded.

Her physical constitution would eventually draw attention.

“I know about you and Sister Emily’s story, also about your deal with Dexter Blair,” Clare said without being asked.

“Earlier, I thought you weren’t good enough for Emily, but now, I think you’re the only one fit for her, so you have to win.”

“If I really can help improve your abilities…l… I feel like I should help.” Towards the end of her speech, Clare’s voice was barely audible, like that of a

mosquito.

“Don’t be impulsive, and you’re forbidden from having such thoughts, ” Ethan Smith rebuked sternly.

“I don’t need your help, I can win against Dexter Blair. As for you… I’ll do everything I can to protect you.” Ethan squatted down to face her.

Seeing this, Clare swiftly replied, “You must promise. If anything happens to me, you’ll be responsible.”

“Alright, alright. I’m responsible,” Ethan replied with a note of helplessness.

“Go meditate, don’t waste any more time.”

Clare acceded, walking back to where she had previously been sitting.

Ethan glanced at Conrad Schroeder, and the two went under the phantom face.

Looking up at the phantom face conglomerating in the sky, Ethan couldn’t help but marvel.

What was buried underneath that could trigger such a terrifying vision?

“Mr. Smith, what do you need me to do?” Conrad asked.

Ethan Smith pointed at the ground beneath their feet and said, “Dig down from here. As deep as you can, until you find something.”

Conrad nodded; unquestionably, Conrad’s physical power was an excellent choice for digging.

Accompanying the duo’s movements, a large hole appeared in the ground. The hole grew deeper and deeper, stretching more than ten meters in a blink of an eye.

Regrettably, there was nothing underneath.

“Could I have dug in the wrong place?” Ethan pondered, frowning.

“Mr. Smith, should we keep digging?” Conrad asked.

Ethan nodded: “Keep digging!”

Therefore, the two started working again, digging downwards.

Another ten meters and they still hadn’t seen anything.

At this time, it was gradually growing dark, and Ethan and Conrad were drenched with sweat.

“Did I really dig in the wrong place? Or… did I guess wrong? Is the object not underground at all?” Ethan started having doubts.

He tried to sense the surrounding dark energy, but discovered that the dark energy did not originate from underground but seemed to surge from all directions.

“Should we keep digging?” Conrad said, panting heavily.

Ethan Smith gruffly spoke: “Never mind. Let’s go back up first.”

Conrad Schroeder complied, and the two climbed out of the hole they’d dug.

“Mr. Smith, what should we do now?” Conrad questioned. Ethan Smith contemplated before saying: “Let’s go back first.”

“Go back? Just give up like that?” Conrad exclaimed in surprise.

Ethan Smith bitter-smiled, “Trying to guess may have been incorrect in the first place. If I really can’t find it, then it signifies that this is not supposed to belong to me.”

Upon seeing this, Conrad didn’t say anything more.

Subsequently, the three of them left the place.

In the following days, Ethan Smith prepped the pills for the Dragon Tiger team in advance and asked Edward Green to deliver them to the battle zone.

Ethan Smith then took Clare Richardson to the battlefield day in and day out to train in solitude.

Time flew quickly, and in a blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.

There were only three days left until the official competition.

On this day in the early morning, Ethan showed up at the Chuzzle Battle Zone early.

In the training field, Zane Avery was exercising the team members

suenuously.

Upon seeing Ethan Smith, the members were cheering: “Coach Ethan is here!”

Hearing this, Zane Avery turned around to face Ethan.

“Coach Ethan.” Zane Avery greeted Ethan.

Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Commander Zane, how’s the training coming along?”

Zane Avery gave thumbs up to Ethan Smith and said, “Your techniques are truly amazing! In just one month, the ability of our members has dramatically improved! ”

The rest of the members also chimed in, “Mr. Smith, thanks to you, your plan was truly amazing!”

“Yes, and after taking the pills you gave us, I made it to the Grandmaster Stage!”

Seeing everyone enthusiastically cheering, Ethan Smith simply nodded in approval.

“Alright, everyone, self-practice!” Zane Avery shouted.

After giving the order, Zane Avery smiled at Ethan Smith, “Coach Ethan, let’s go to the office. Commander Wood would like to meet you.”

“Okay.” Ethan nodded. He followed Zane Avery towards the office.

In the office, Commander Wood was savoring his tea, the expression on his face reflecting satisfaction.

“Commander Wood, Coach Ethan is here.” At that moment, the door was pushed open.

Upon seeing Ethan Smith, Commander Wood immediately stood up to greet him.

With a joyous smile, he said, “Ethan, I have something to discuss with you.

Come, sit.”

Ethan Smith sat facing Commander Wood, and Zane Avery immediately poured tea for Ethan.

“Honestly, your plan greatly exceeded my expectations.” Commander Wood gave a thumbs up to Ethan Smith.

Ethan laughed, “As long as it works. Now, what did you want to discuss, Commander Wood?”

Commander Wood was silent for a moment, then spoke: “Although your plan is truly exceptional… I don’t hope we come first.” f𝐫e𝚎we𝚋n𝐨𝘃el.𝗰𝗼𝐦

Ethan frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

Commander Wood sighed, “It would be enough for us to take the second place.”

“Commander Wood, don’t you have confidence in the Dragon Tiger team?” Ethan said, somewhat puzzled.

“No.” Commander Wood waved his hand.

“What I mean is that regardless of whether we can win, we should not strive for first place.”

This left Ethan confused. He couldn’t help but say, “Commander Wood, if we can take first place, why should we settle for second?”

“Ah… Ethan, you’re still too young. This competition is not just about capabilities; sometimes, you have to take personal feelings into account. ”

“After all, the Capital City Battle Zone is Ignacio Burke’s team. They have been champions for many years. If they lose, will Ignacio be happy?

“You think it over. This approach could also be to your advantage—the trees that stick out often get chopped down.”

Hearing Commander Wood’s words, Ethan scoffed, “Commander Wood, I believe Ignacio Burke will not be so petty. If he indeed behaves like that, he wouldn’t be the idol of all these fighters.”

“Although it’s true, you can’t always predict how things will turn out. Anyway, just do as I say,” Commander Wood dismissed with a wave.

Ethan Smith was silent for a moment, then nodded, “Fine, I will comply with your demands.”

Commander Wood nodded approval, smiling, “Alright, go and prepare for now.

The day after tomorrow in the morning, we set off for the Capital City!” At the mention of the Capital City, Ethan could not help but feel a surge of excitement.

He agreed and then turned to leave the battle zone.

Standing at the entrance of the battle zone, Ethan looked towards the north, murmuring softly, “Capital City, here I come..”
