Chapter 525: Chapter 343: Resolute Determination_3

As for now, even though he seemed miserable and desolate, Needham Brown didn’t feel upset.

He didn’t even have any anger left.

He suddenly wanted to laugh.

I finally lost.

And I lost to a single person.

My awakening degree had even been raised to 0.2% higher than my opponent’s.

I lost thoroughly.

It’s humiliating and shameful, right?

But… isn’t that what I’ve always dreamed of?

Who would have thought that being defeated, having one’s dignity trampled on, would actually feel like happiness?

A sense of inexplicable ecstasy arose in his heart, spreading slowly and engulfing all his reason.

“Ha… hahaha! Harrison Clark!”

Needham Brown suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Harrison Clark.

Harrison Clark felt a jolt in his heart.

What’s going on?

What are you laughing at?

Did I push him too hard and drive him insane?

“Harrison Clark, I thank you! I sincerely thank you! You have opened another door for me. Our confrontation today will be the most meaningful before the beginning of the real war.”

“Come on, I’ve raised my awakening degree to 37%! Let’s have one more round, the final round! I know you can win, but I won’t give up easily.”

“Let’s have a real life-and-death battle, and show all the other warriors what a real battlefield should look like!”

Needham Brown slowly stood up.

His treatment was already complete, but the stubborn wounds caused by repeated injuries were still bleeding.

Mustering the strength to move his shoulder, Needham felt pain tearing through his body.

He still felt the immense pain caused by the tom periosteum, and the relatively difficult to recover soft tissue in the joints was making a creaking noise.

But this was only pain; it did not affect his ability to perform.

Needham Brown’s eyes narrowed.

There were some words he had not finished saying.

But he had already understood the biggest difference between him and Harrison Clark.

It wasn’t talent, but temperament.

Such a temperament was not that of a soldier but one who had really fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

It was the kind of absolute willpower that could push one’s body to the limit with a wave of the hand or a lift of the foot.

It was the unyielding backbone that human civilization had forged in their struggles against nature, injustice, and all forms of oppression throughout history.

Those with such iron-willed fighting spirit were not merely soldiers but fighters.

A true fighter creates mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield, striking with full force while also meticulously preparing for their next move.

With each technique and every move, they are both decisive and able to see the trends of the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

Such abilities could only come from the most brutal wars.

Although Needham Brown did not know how Harrison Clark possessed this iron will to fight,

he was certain that Harrison did.

How it came about was not important.

Now is my chance.

My opportunity to prove myself has come.

My chance to make the greatest contribution to the world has arrived!

I will use my death to show those soft rookie soldiers who only know about training and have little understanding of real war, what a true battlefield is like!

This will be my last lesson to others.

If the others can learn even a little bit, Needham Brown’s life would be without regrets!

At the sight of Needham Brown’s eyes, Harrison Clark felt uneasy.

This guy was really determined to die.

You must be out of your mind!

I wanted to train you, not to kill you.

On the other side, the War God Research Institute was also startled, not giving Needham Brown a S rating any longer, but instead persuading him.

“General Brown, calm down. Both you and Captain Clark are valuable assets to the Defense Army…”

Smash!

Needham Brown shattered the communicator for the second time.

“Harrison Clark! Come on! Ifyoudon’t want todieby myhand, kill me!”

Next second, he made his move.

The two had been fighting for a while, but this was the first time Needham Brown took the initiative to attack.

An overwhelming killing intent surged through Needham Brown.

With the 37% awakening degree providing a higher energy level, the dark space compression layer covering Needham’s basic armor had an ink-like coloration.

Right from the start, he went all out.

Harrison Clark dodged sideways just as Needham’s slashing blade came down.

The ground was cut by the leaked energy into a trench tens of meters long and more than ten meters deep.

“This guy really wants to kill me!”

Harrison Clark’s heart was filled with alarm, and he began retreating continuously.

However, Needham’s awakening degree was 0.3% higher than his, making his speed faster and his movements more sophisticated. He pursued Harrison Clark relentlessly with multiple long-range weapons during the chase.

Harrison Clark felt somewhat flustered, quickly dodging left and right, with his energy bow weapon system switching to dual shield mode, narrowly blocking the attacks.

As Needham Brown continued to press Harrison Clark, Harrison Clark finally lost his temper and yelled, “Are you insane?!”

Needham Brown’s movements slowed down slightly, “No, I just want to die.”

Harrison Clark: “You bloody…”

“Don’t think that what I’m doing is meaningless. You know what I want. Starting today, for the next eleven months, all the warriors will benefit from this death battle between us. Is it wrong to exchange my life for the improvement of the entire army?”

“Everyone should wake up. The false sense of satisfaction from indulging in training alone will not help in the war. Only blood and death are the steps for humanity to move forward.”

Harrison Clark angrily said: “What’s the rush? If you really don’t want to live, wait a few months until my awakening degree rises a bit more, and then I’ll accompany you to play.”

Master Clark was indeed a bit anxious.

If his awakening degree could also reach 37% or higher, then by that time he would have confidence in accurately controlling the intensity of his attacks, even in a life-and-death fight, without killing Needham Brown.

But for now, he was still lacking some skills, and if the battle became too intense, his strikes might become too heavy-

Needham Brown shook his head, “If I raise my awakening degree to 37.66%, will others be able to learn from me?”

Harrison Clark paused for a moment, “No.”

“Isn’t that right then? And I can’t wait any longer. Time is running out, Harrison Clark.” Needham Brown angrily pointed at the sky, “We only have eleven months left!”

“Let’s go!”

With those words, the two were fighting each other again.

The aftereffects of their battle filled the skies and covered the ground.

Nobody knew when it happened, but the isolation shield capable of withstanding a strike from the Omnipotent Battle Armor had shattered.

The two of them changed scenes in the air, falling in front of others and using their shields to withstand the aftershocks, so as not to spread and harm the innocent. As soon as the situation was under control, they flew straight up into the sky.

Under the starry sky and in the moonlight,

the shockwaves from the hand-to-hand combat and long-range weapons exchanged between the two of them in a very short period of time spread across the sky, like a series of dazzling fireworks, creating a gorgeously colored dome of odd hues above them.
