At this mont,
all the freshn on stage
were being tortured by the acidic rain pouring from above.
The acid rain was far more damaging
than the earlier wind blades—
and it was corrosive.
Most defensive skills
could only hold out briefly
before lting through.
When the acid touched skin,
it burned a bloody hole within seconds.
Soone finally snapped.
“Senior Frost, this isn’t fair!”
“Yeah! You’re only testing our defense!
All my skills are offensive!”
Ethan Frost replied coldly:
“When only twenty of you remain,
I’ll personally test your combat ability
one‑on‑one.”
He had just finished speaking
when a figure suddenly sprinted toward him
at incredible speed.
Charging at the examiner?
Ethan almost laughed.
These freshn really didn’t know their limits.
Wait…
Why did this one look familiar?
Ethan quickly recognized him.
The freshman charging straight at him
was none other than—
Evan Cole.
And Ethan had to admit—
Evan was sothing else.
His acid rain
could only corrode Evan’s skin slightly,
and the wounds healed instantly.
“He’s not using any defensive skills…
That ans he has a powerful body
and terrifying regeneration.
I can’t underestimate him.”
Ethan grew alert.
As a ranged evolver,
the thing he feared most
was being caught in close combat.
One mistake could cost him the match.
He didn’t hold back.
He raised his hand
and summoned a massive Fla Wolf,
the size of a tiger,
its entire body blazing with fire.
It lunged toward Evan.
This Fla Wolf
was both an offensive skill
and a life‑saving barrier—
perfect for stopping lee fighters.
The spectators were confused.
“Has Evan lost his mind?
He’s actually attacking Senior Frost!”
“Does he not understand
the difference between Chrysalis‑tier and Cocoon‑tier?”
Evan could have simply endured the acid rain
like everyone else.
Instead, he chose to rush the examiner—
guaranteeing he’d draw more fire.
But Evan had no intention
of clashing with the Fla Wolf head‑on.
He leapt into the air,
activating his flight skill.
He soared over the Fla Wolf’s head—
and the faint orange glow
of evolution energy
shone openly across his body.
“What is that? A flight skill?”
“Wait—orange evolution light?
Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!
He completed his second evolution!”
“No way!
He’s so young—
and he’s already Cocoon‑tier?!”
The arena erupted.
To graduate from the Combat Departnt,
students only needed to reach Chrysalis‑tier
and absorb three extracts.
Evan, on the other hand—
had just entered school
and was already strong enough to graduate.
He could join the Master Class imdiately.
“Who was it that said Evan failed his second evolution?”
“Who said he hit a bottleneck?”
With Evan revealing his Cocoon‑tier power,
all rumors collapsed instantly.
⚔️ The Duel Begins
Evan bypassed the Fla Wolf
and descended from above,
striking at Ethan Frost.
Ethan’s expression hardened.
For the first ti since the assessnt began,
he moved his feet—
retreating rapidly
while commanding the Fla Wolf
to turn back and protect him.
As a fellow Cocoon‑tier evolver,
Ethan knew
he absolutely could not allow Evan
to get close.
A violent gale suddenly erupted.
This wind was far stronger
than the earlier wind blades,
tearing open wounds across Evan’s body
and spraying blood.
But Evan didn’t care.
This level of damage
couldn’t threaten him.
He charged straight at Ethan
without hesitation.
Ethan never expected the wind
to stop Evan.
Its real purpose
was to accelerate the Fla Wolf behind him.
Fire fed by wind—
the Fla Wolf shot forward
like a flaming missile,
closing in on Evan’s back.
Feeling the heat behind him,
Evan slamd his fist into the ground.
Raging Myriad Tides.
A violent shockwave
exploded outward from his body.
The Fla Wolf struggled for a mont
before shattering into countless sparks.
Ethan, however,
used that mont
to escape the shockwave’s range
and widen the distance again.
If only I had the Gravity Sand skill right now…
One Gravity Chain
and I could drag him over here
and beat him senseless.
Evan was already missing
the skill he hadn’t obtained yet.
Without a pulling skill,
fighting a long‑range evolver
was indeed annoying.
But fortunately,
this was a confined arena.
Ethan’s movent range
was limited.
🪽 Sky‑Sea Twin Wings Takes Flight
Evan activated Sky‑Sea Twin Wings,
soaring upward
and chasing Ethan through the air.
Ethan circled the arena,
keeping his distance
and throwing skills at Evan whenever possible.
What was supposed to be
a freshman assessnt
had turned into a one‑on‑one duel
between Evan and Ethan Frost.
This was where Evan’s top‑tier flight skill
showed its superiority.
Both were Cocoon‑tier,
but Sky‑Sea Twin Wings
was one of the strongest flight skills—
faster and more agile
than Ethan’s.
Evan dodged Ethan’s attacks
while rapidly closing the distance.
Ethan refused to land.
In the air,
Evan couldn’t use Raging Myriad Tides,
so he lacked wide‑area attacks.
Finally,
the distance shrank
to only a few ters.
Ethan narrowed his eyes.
If this continued,
once Evan got close,
he would lose.
So he unleashed
his strongest attack.
🌪️ Sandstorm Barrage
“Sandstorm Barrage!”
Evolution energy condensed into sand and stone
in his hands—
then blasted forward
like a raging torrent.
A human machine gun.
Evan’s eyes flashed.
He had been waiting
for Ethan’s strongest move.
Rhino Charge.
Evan had deliberately held back this skill
until now.
Rhino Charge wasn’t just a dash—
it granted massive boosts
to evasion and defense
during the charge.
A temporary near‑invincibility.
And it worked in mid‑air.
Evan shot forward like a teor.
Most of the sand and stone
missed him entirely.
The few that hit
barely scratched him
under the defensive buff.
His body was already strong—
with the buff,
the wounds were superficial.
In the blink of an eye,
Evan appeared right in front of Ethan Frost.
Ant Strength—activated.
He didn’t use any fancy skills.
Just a single punch.
His fist slamd into Ethan’s chest.
Ethan flew backward
like he’d been hit by a speeding train,
crashing into the grass
outside the arena.
A fist‑sized hole
was blown open in his chest.
A dical instructor
rushed over imdiately,
using evolution dicine
and healing skills
to stabilize Ethan’s condition.
Fortunately,
Evan had deliberately avoided the heart.
Otherwise,
Ethan Frost would already be dead.
