Dominating Evolution Of The Cosmos 275 Balance In Power

The two of them had sparred for dozens of rounds in the ring, but the results were always a draw. Even though Steve had a slight upper hand in several collisions, he still had a long way to go in order to beat Hayden. Also, Hayden would often make powerful counterattacks, which caused great trouble for Steve.
Steve's facial expression was cold as he once again avoided Hayden's evil black force frenzy. The evil black force was like smoke that was rus.h.i.+ng towards the sky. Whenever he was near it, he would be attacked by the evil forces within it, his body would grow cold, and it would cause him to experience severe mental confusion, as countless negative emotions emerged in his mind.
Steve knew that Hayden hadn't used his full strength yet, as Hayden had yet to use the Blood-Burning Manic Change. He was also only using about 435 points of basic cell value strength.
Once he used the Blood-Burning Manic Change, his combat power would soar by a dozen points. Even for Steve, this would pose a huge threat. It is also because of this that both sides' attacks were reserved and careful.
Even so, the audience that was present was very impressed. They were especially awed by Steve's strength, which was beyond everyone's expectations. As such, many people were shocked...
"Has he really just recently joined the military base?"
"He's just a recruit. How is he so strong? Even Hayden, who is among the top 30, can't beat him!"
"Terrific! They're all highly skilled!"
"Although Hayden hasn't put his best foot forward yet, Steve's current strength is enough to place him in the top 50 in the personal strength ranking chart!" Even Eliot and the others were surprised when they saw this.
"I have to say, I thought that Hayden would easily defeat Steve. I didn't expect Steve to be able to fight Hayden for so long." Ted couldn't help but sigh.
"Steve has great potential, but Hayden hasn't given his best yet. I can see that Hayden is angry, so it's only a matter of time now. Besides, the battle between them is almost over," Eliot said calmly.
Just then, Edward suddenly spoke, "I don't think that Steve will lose."
He then laughed and said, "Hayden didn't do his best. But, did Steve do his best?"
Eliot suddenly froze, then exclaimed, "It's impossible! Steve just joined the military base, yet the strength that he has shown has already exceeded everyone's expectations! If he is still hiding some strength, who else in the entire military base, other than the top three geniuses, can compare to him?"
"Let's keep watching, maybe the battle will develop even further beyond our expectations," Edward said calmly.
The battle in the ring had finally entered a white-hot stage. After such a long battle, both contenders had their suffered many injuries and numerous scars could be seen on their bodies.
At that moment, Hayden suddenly rushed towards Steve. The sword in his hand suddenly exploded and became small, sharp fragments, which shot out like a raging storm.

Pop Pop...
Steve dodged as countless fragments flew past him. As he waved the Black Blooded Combat Knife, he kept shooting down all of the fragments at the same time.
Whoosh Whoosh…
As the evil black force that was on Hayden exploded, a blackness filled the room. The darkness immediately isolated Steve's telepathy skills and obstructed his vision.
Steve's face suddenly became grave. He had already dropped countless pieces of fragments and debris using the Thunderbolt Knife Technique. But, while Steve was continuously using his knife technique, a dark shadow had snuck up on Steve, approaching him by the edge of the Ice Wing s.h.i.+eld. It was a slender sword, which swerved around the Ice Wing s.h.i.+eld and fell on Steve's shoulder!
Steve's expression changed drastically at this moment. He was caught off guard, seeing that it was too late to defend himself.
Splat!
A long, slender sword mark was left on Steve's shoulder as the sword sliced him open and blood spurted out. As Hayden was about to chase him down and finally win the battle, Steve suddenly withdrew to dozens of meters away. It was almost as if was teleporting!
Whoos.h.!.+
The entire audience couldn't help but gasp and cry out in alarm. So far, this injury was the most serious one that the two fighters had suffered. In fact, it might even decide the ultimate victor!
The crowd could clearly see that Steve's left hand had nearly been cut off, causing it to lose almost all of its fighting power. In such a state, it was almost impossible for Steve to defeat Hayden!
"Hahaha, your left arm is useless now. You can only rely on one arm now, so I will surely win this battle!" Hayden laughed arrogantly as he looked at Steve contemptuously. He clearly believed that he would be the victor.
Steve's face was pale because of the extreme loss of blood. He had also used up a lot of energy in the fight thus far.
"No one can be sure who will win or lose this battle until the very last minute. It's too early for you to be gloating," Steve replied calmly.
"Hmph! You won't be able to turn the tables now, no matter how powerful you are!" Hayden sneered. "Just watch and see how I shall defeat you! Your 20,000 contribution points are bound to be returned!" As Hayden was shouting, his figure was moving as fast as lightning, and the sword in his hand drew an eerie arc as it headed directly towards Steve's neck!
"It's you who should give up now!" Steve cried loudly, while his figure suddenly charged forward.
Whoos.h.!.+
Steve had moved shockingly fast in order to escape Hayden's terrible blow. In that instant, the two men pa.s.sed each other.
Then, Steve came behind Hayden and quickly summoned the Moon Shattering Bow. At that moment, a starlight arrow appeared.
Whoos.h.!.+
The starlight arrow flew out, and a brilliant star curtain followed behind it. Hayden instantly felt that a bone-chilling crisis was upon him.
He quickly turned around and saw the starlight arrows flying towards him. His whole body emitted a black force again, which formed an invisible s.h.i.+eld around him.
Whiz…
But, this time, the starlight arrow went straight through the evil black force, shooting straight towards Hayden.
Bang!
The starlight arrow then turned into a tremendous spiritual force, which impacted Hayden's spiritual world and caused him to experience temporary dizziness. It also rendered him completely paralyzed, as he could only stand still.
Right then, Steve used The Cloak of Dela, which caused him to immediately expand. He then rushed rapidly towards Hayden, yelling, "Thunder and Lightning!"
At that moment, the Black Blood Combat Knife cut through a brilliant flash of lightning. The light of the knife flashed like a thunderstorm and landed directly on Hayden.
It was at this critical moment that Hayden suddenly came to his senses. When he saw that the Black Blood Combat Knife was about to land on him, he turned pale with fear and yelled, "Blood-Burning Manic change!"
Suddenly, his combat power soared by dozens of points, placing him several levels higher than before.
"Devil Head Smoke!" he yelled, causing an astonis.h.i.+ng black gas to burst out from his body.
The roiling black gas actually formed seven ghost heads, which all rushed directly towards Steve!
