Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Ethan Smith’s Decision_l

Translator: 549690339

Upon hearing Cato Cain’s words, Ethan Smith’s face turned somewhat pale.

An unprecedented sense of crisis almost engulfed Ethan.

Cato stood up and was about to leave.

‘Wait!”

At this moment, Ethan called out to Cato again.

He walked quickly up to Cato and said slowly, “Can you let me witness your true strength?”

Cato was stunned and said somewhat puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“I want to know how big the gap is between you and me.” Ethan took a deep breath.

Cato’s eyebrows knitted slightly.

He said solemnly, “You might get hurt.”

“As long as I don’t die, it’s fine.” Ethan turned around and came to the courtyard.

After thinking for a while, Cato eventually followed him out.

As their eyes met, Cato asked, “Are you sure you want to spar with me?”

Ethan nodded and said, “Yes, I hope you won’t hold back.”

After saying that, Ethan’s Inner Strength burst out in an instant!

This was Ethan’s own strength, not borrowed from Earth Fiend Valley!

Therefore, Ethan was still far from the level of a Grandmaster.

Cato looked at Ethan full of Golden Light and said coldly, “Fine, I’ll satisfy you.”

After saying that, Cato’s figure vanished into the air, and he almost instantly appeared in front of Ethan!

Facing Cato, Ethan did not dare to conceal his strength. He roared and immediately activated the Third-layer Saintly Body Skill!

And to greet Cato’s fist, Ethan used his trump card, the Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist!

The collision of their fists created a massive shockwave!

A violent wind swept through in an instant, uprooting nearby trees!

Cracks appeared on the Golden Light on Ethan’s fist.

Suddenly, the Golden Light retreated, and Ethan’s flesh bore the brunt of the punch.

His body flew backward, smashing the wall behind him.

His arm was almost shattered, and blood flowed all over his body.

Even after Ethan’s body was tempered, he still could not withstand Cato!

Looking at Ethan lying on the ground, Cato slowly walked over.

“You’ve already made rapid progress, but it’s not enough.” Cato left these words.

Ethan lay on the ground, not saying anything.

He stared at the sky, with moonlight shining on his face.

“Dexter Blair… is he even stronger than Cato Cain?” Ethan murmured softly.

Cato left, and Ethan lay on the ground, not getting up for a long time.

His mind flashed with countless thoughts, looking somewhat numb.

More than ten minutes later, Ethan struggled to get up from the ground.

Enduring the pain in his body, his eyes once again became resolute.

“I won’t lose to Dexter Blair, nor to the Taylor Family.” Ethan’s voice was slightly cold.

He quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and began healing his wounds.

Then, he took out the Pills from the snakeskin bag.

These Pills were the purest Inner Strength for martial artists, and their effects were no less than that of Divine Medicine.

Like eating beans, Ethan stuffed them into his mouth.

Soon, he felt the breakthrough’s threshold.

Perhaps it was the truth about the Taylor Family that had hit him, or perhaps the gap in strength had ignited Ethan’s fighting spirit.

In any case, Ethan’s realm had unknowingly improved a lot.

This breakthrough went smoothly, and Ethan easily crossed this level, stepping directly into the Eighth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

At this time, the sky had already brightened, and Edward Green returned from outside.

He looked at the surrounding environment and hurriedly said, “Mr. Smith, what happened here?”

Ethan shook his head without saying anything, just continually stuffing Pills into his mouth.

“Oh yes, these Pills are for you.” Ethan did not swallow all the Pills from Earth Fiend Valley for himself.

He gave three bags to Conrad Schroeder and Edward Green respectively.

He kept the remaining bag as a cornerstone for his breakthrough.

Ethan continued to consume the Pills, and long-term qi input imposed a huge burden on his dantian.

But Ethan had no intention of stopping. A whole snakeskin bag of Pills was swallowed by Ethan.

This purest Inner Strength exploded in Ethan’s dantian, almost bursting the entire dantian.

The intense pain caused beads of sweat to appear on Ethan’s face.

But his expression remained unchanged, appearing calm.

Ethan guided his Inner Strength in his dantian to circulate continuously within his body’s meridians.

This was to offset the burden on his dantian.

Slowly, the pain in Ethan’s dantian began to fade.

It was clear that Ethan’s experiment had been successful.

If it weren’t for this method, the restrictions on Ethan’s consumption of Pills would be too great.

This would also indefinitely delay Ethan’s cultivation.

After three days and three nights.

Ethan finally touched the edge of the Ninth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But because his qi had reached a dried-up state, Ethan had to stop temporarily.

He stood up and then picked up the Spatial Magic Artifact that Cato had given him and examined it.

Cato did not tell Ethan how to use this Spatial Magic Artifact, so Ethan could only explore it himself.

His divine sense moved, and a wisp of blood essence flew out from the center of his brow.

Ethan dripped the blood essence onto the Spatial Magic Artifact, only to find that it did not respond at all.

“It seems this method is wrong.” Ethan couldn’t help but frown.

Next, he injected a strand of his divine sense into the Spatial Magic Artifact.

“Buzz!”

Finally, the Spatial Magic Artifact reacted!

A series of lights bloomed on the Spatial Magic Artifact, and Ethan’s divine sense could freely enter and exit the Spatial Magic Artifact.

With just a thought, he could control the Artifact.

“It really is a treasure.” Ethan thought to himself.

He took a turn inside the Spatial Magic Artifact, and apart from the three corpses, there was nothing else inside.

So, Ethan withdrew his divine sense.

He stood up from the ground and an idea surfaced in his mind.

Ethan took out his phone and called Conrad Schroeder.

Conrad on the other end was stunned and somewhat surprised, “Meeting the Four Great Families? Mr. Smith, is there something going on?”

“Well, you could say that.” Ethan said.

Conrad asked, “When?”

Ethan thought for a moment and said, “Tomorrow.”

Although Conrad was puzzled, he still agreed.

After hanging up the phone, a touch of coldness flashed across Ethan’s face.

After his conversation with Cato, Ethan understood one principle:

At the bottom, growth must be accompanied by the plundering of resources.

This King of Chuzzle cannot just be an empty title..
