“Willy, how much strength did you actually use?” Rose quietly asked with a smirk.“I barely used any strength. If I had, do you think Jaybird would still be standing? We’re teammates, after all; I couldn’t exactly go full force.”Rose clicked her tongue, exchanging a look with Giant and Jaybird as they all took in a new perspective on Willy.Hearing Willy’s words, Jaybird’s dark skin reddened with embarrassment. In front of the trainees, he felt like he’d lost big time. “Did everyone see the fight just now?” Black Wolf called out to the trainees.The group stayed silent, as the fight had happened so fast. They’d seen Jaybird make the first move, but then suddenly he was back in his original spot. Then both men just

The five trainees sprinted with all their might, each step fueled by the literal fire under their feet. Finally reaching the lake, they threw themselves into the water, extinguishing the flames that had started to creep up their pant legs and boots."Excellent!" Willy exclaimed as they emerged from the water, catching their breath. "Now, what was your previous best time for the hundred meters?""Reporting, sir," the first trainee responded. "My previous time was 11.7 seconds.""And just now, you ran it in 10.8. The others, too, shaved nearly a second off their records," Willy noted, reading the times aloud.Hearing Willy's new timing, Naomi couldn't hide her surprise. She’d just bested her personal record by a full second. The experience was intense, but the result was incredible. After Willy read out everyone's times, the trainees realized the truth: only when forced to their absolute limits could they achieve their true potential. Wil

Within just two minutes from the start, Willy saw participants quickly succeeding; some emerged victorious within seconds, carrying their subdued opponents out of the room. Shortly after, loud sounds of intense fighting echoed from inside the dorm, and another group exited a minute later, bringing out restrained competitors.Willy gave a slight nod of approval. "Well done. Subduing an opponent without injuring them requires true strength."Hearing Willy's praise, the four soldiers outside exchanged nods; receiving acknowledgment from the feared 'Demon King' was a significant badge of honor. It looked like their friends might owe them a meal—such was the spirit of elimination rounds. Soon, Josiah, Naomi, and others brought their opponents out just within the final seconds.When Rose saw that Naomi had defeated a male soldier, she was stunned."Excellent work, Number Eight!" Willy complimented."Thank you, sir!" Naomi replied, excited.I

No. 35 quietly crept up the stairs, flashlight in his left hand and gun raised in his right. This was his chance. Facing off against No. 15, he was confident he could survive—after all, No. 15 had just been shot!No. 15 was convinced he had the upper hand, keeping a close watch on the stairs. The moment his opponent showed himself, he’d fire first and secure a guaranteed win!Ready, No. 35 suddenly sprinted up the stairs. In less than a second, he reached the second floor, flashing his light at the shadow while dropping to the ground. As soon as No. 15 saw him, he pulled the trigger. Just then, blinded by the light, he was hit multiple times!“Big Bang! Impressive!” “You’ve got some quick hands too!” No. 35, nicknamed Big Bang, noted the 70% health displayed on his body.“Ha! If I were any faster, you’d be out of the game!” Big Bang patted No. 15 on the shoulder, grabbed his gun and water, and turned to leave. But just as he reac

As the other teams gradually completed their tasks, only Naomi and Liang remained. Among the Black Wolf team, a male member finished quickly, but his partner lagged behind. Meanwhile, the sniper from Rose's team executed a perfect shot to eliminate the target!Ten participants stood before the Black Wolf team, who scanned the group’s condition, still impressed by Willy’s trainees. Naomi and Liang exuded a kind of aura—not fierce or domineering, but an enigmatic presence that radiated danger."This round will eliminate two of you. Please take a moment to rest while I discuss with my colleagues," Black Wolf announced.The words sent a wave of tension through the group. However, Naomi and Liang remained notably calm, having completed their tasks with superior speed and quality compared to the others.Black Wolf turned to confer with Dove, Rose, and Giant. After some deliberation, they decided to eliminate one member from Giant’s team
