The shock wave of the collision between the two sides stirred up a large amount of sand and dust, forming a short-lived small-scale sand curtain. A figure broke through the sand curtain and flew out. It was the Germinal Leader!

With his toes rubbing against the sand and the strong wind howling in his ears, Leader Germination suppressed the severe pain in his right arm, tried his best to control his body, and landed on his feet more than ten meters away.

"Puff——" After landing, the Germinal Leader pulled out two shallow pits several meters long on the sand. His body swayed and he barely managed to stabilize his body. His breathing rhythm was slightly disordered.

Bennett's blow almost caused more damage than the total damage Sisley had done to him.

Stress critical attack and concussive critical attack are multi-stage damaging skills, and the way they are used makes them unsuitable for head-on collisions, so he did not use any skills.

Facing the five-fold European Emperor's Fist, which was extremely useful in frontal combat, he suffered a big loss. What's more, Bennett also used the Instant Shadow Thrust in conjunction with it.

He glanced at the mission prompt that just appeared:

[You trigger a special mission——[Fateful Contest]]

The budding leader activated the system's built-in detection skill, and a blue translucent light appeared in front of him, with Bennett's attribute information displayed in it:

———————

After seeing Bennett's attribute information, Leader Germination felt heavy in his heart. He really didn't expect that Bennett's strength level had reached [lv8].

With the help of the attribute bonus brought by his strength, Bennett has narrowed the gap with his basic attributes to a certain extent.

In terms of expertise and skill bonuses, he lags behind Bennett.

In addition, after the battle with Sisli, his strength has not yet fully recovered, and is only less than 80% of the full state. When fighting Bennett, he will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage under normal circumstances.

The good news is that Bennett's real damage has no effect at all when facing him, which is extremely fatal when fighting against evenly matched enemies.

Thunder was shining in the sky covered with dark clouds, the wind was howling, heavy rain was falling, and incandescent meteors broke through the dark curtain, rapidly expanding in the sight of the budding leader.

Leader Germination stood on the spot without fear, spread his legs, and stabbed forward with his right fist filled with black and purple aura.

"Bang!" The heavy force transmitted from his right arm made the Germinal Leader groan. He used his skills to direct the force into the sand under his feet. The sand sunken into a piece, and his retreating momentum was restrained.

Taking advantage of the short gap between Bennett's recovery after activating his skills, he clenched his left hand tightly and punched Bennett's open chest with a punch.

"Bang!" There was a dull sound, and three extremely destructive forces penetrated Bennett's body.

Stress critical attack!

Bennett staggered back a few steps, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

A look of surprise flashed across his face. The Germinal Leader blocked his instantaneous thrust head-on without using any skills, and was able to launch a counterattack. His strength and toughness were beyond his expectations.

After he came back from the Beizhou base to practice hard, no one has been able to do this!

After a successful blow, the leader of Germination did not hesitate, strode forward, and stabbed Bennett directly in the face with his right fist.

Bennett's eyes narrowed, and instead of retreating, he stepped forward, and the white-hot flames collided head-on with the black-purple hellfire.

"Bang!" There was a brief stalemate between the two sides, and the leader's right fist shook.

Bennett was exhausted and took a few steps back. He jumped back continuously, distanced himself and stood still, glancing solemnly at the corrosive scars on his right hand.

Bennett's strength attribute bonus can be used to its greatest effect when used in martial arts skills. Under normal circumstances, he was wrestling with the leader of Germination, but was defeated by the leader of Germination who dispersed his protective aura, and he was at a disadvantage in a few breaths.

"I underestimated you before." Bennett's face darkened, "But your current strength is really weak."

"Enough to defeat you." As he spoke, Leader Germination transformed into a fierce black panther and charged forward again. He twisted his left foot on the ground and pulled out a ring of black and purple hell flames with his right leg, like a giant

It whipped towards Bennett like a dragon flicking its tail, and a long roar sounded in the air.

"Bang!" Bennett blocked his side with one arm, trying to block the attack of the sprout leader head-on. However, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the incandescent defensive flames on his right arm instantly turned into scattered sparks, and a black streak

The purple gas flame impact ring exploded in the darkness like the night sky. Bennett's body flew back to the side, fell to the ground and rolled several times to relieve the pressure, then stood up again.

The clothes on his right arm were corroded into powder, and corrosive scars were burned on his skin.

The solemn look in his eyes became even more serious, and he finally realized unwillingly: in the case where neither party used martial arts skills, the fighting power of the sprouting leader was steadily superior to his.

While taking a deep breath, Leader Germination felt his rapidly recovering vitality, and a happy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

His legs were bent, and the black and purple martial arts flames exploded under his feet. His body turned into a flying falcon, flying towards Bennett at low altitude. The strong wind whistled in his ears and beat at him.

On the body, he punched out with all his strength.

"Don't get carried away!" Bennett spread his legs, leaned his right arm back slightly, and then struck out boldly.

punch lv.10!

"Bang!" The black-purple meteorite collided with the incandescent sun, and the black-purple and incandescent flame shock waves collided, exploded, the shock expanded, and collapsed and dissipated. Both sides were shaken away by the impact at the same time, and the sprouting leader was in mid-air.

He flew back, and after landing, he slid on the sand for a few meters before stopping, but Bennett just staggered back a few steps.

Bennett stabilized his figure, moved his sore right hand, and forced to stabilize his slightly disordered breathing rhythm. He said with a little arrogance in his tone: "Let's cease fighting. I admit that you are very strong and have the ability to seriously hurt me, but

You are not my opponent yet."

Bennett judged that if the two sides continue to fight, it will inevitably lead to a lose-lose situation, and the Darknet organization has always remained neutral. Even if he kills the leader of Germination here, he will not be able to destroy the entire Germination organization, let alone prevent the war from happening. On the contrary,

It may cause the budding organization to become angry, violently counterattack, or even actively harm civilians under the protection of darknet organizations.

Therefore, the truce he spoke of was not a lie, it was indeed sincere.

After Bennett asked this question, Leader Germination did not answer, but stood silently.

Just when doubts arose in Bennett's mind, through the darkness that was getting thicker due to the gathering of dark clouds, he keenly noticed that the wound on the Germinal Leader's right hand was rapidly healing.

Noticing Bennett's slightly opened eyes and the surprise on his face, Leader Germination pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth. Now, he somewhat understood how happy Han Xiao was after obtaining the blood-blue transformation.

"Bang!" After an explosion, the incandescent light rapidly expanded in his field of vision, and the darkness was washed away wherever it passed.

Leader Germination said calmly: "What a pity."

Had Bennett discovered it ten seconds later, his blood volume would have been fully restored.

After [Refining], although he has recovered most of his expertise and skills through learning professional knowledge, lotteries, and knowledge integration, and has also acquired several expertise and skills that he did not have originally, the number is still less than what he originally had.

Nite, direct damage skills are even more lacking.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, he is indeed no match for Bennett.

But, that's just the norm.

His heart suddenly trembled violently, making a sound like muffled thunder. Blood was pumped out of the heart and poured into the whole body like a fast-flowing stream.

Just like a violent giant beast gradually retreating from the chains that bound it, the intensity of the sprouting leader's aura increased steadily. The blue aura overflowed from his body and merged into the black and purple martial arts flames, turning the aura into a deep and invincible weapon.

The edge of the arrogance formed by the intersection of the faint purple, light blue and lavender light is chaotic and twisted under the dark night sky.
To be continued...
