Both cheeks were swollen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfectly symmetrical, too, like a small pumpkin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin, though, looked much smoother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even had an oily sheen; sunlight glinted right off it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmphh… mmmphh…\" Elias couldn't form a clear word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn't make out a thing he was trying to say, not even by guessing the sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who… Who dares hit me and then run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Members of Silverwood Enforcers drew their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attacking Silverwood Enforcers within Silverwood Hidden Territory?\" one of them snarled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got a death wish?\" another added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah… Don't run if you've got the guts!\" they yelled, scanning their surroundings, wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone actually answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice… Everyone whipped their heads toward Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When their eyes landed on him, Ethan was squatting, munching on a handful of edamame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought struck them. That liquid on Elias's face earlier… and now, looking at Ethan…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't that the juice from boiled edamame?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Ethan do it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were still reeling, wondering if Ethan was indeed the culprit, He finished the last edamame in his hand. Then he moved… silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanishing before their eyes. All they saw was an empty edamame pod, drifting slowly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap, slap, slap…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh! Aaah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of crisp sounds, mixed with screams, erupted from near the main entrance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham and the others spun around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's figure weaved through the group of Enforcers. A blur of afterimages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men fought back hard, but they couldn't dodge Ethan's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he threw a slap, no matter how they tried to evade, It landed squarely on the face of his chosen target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if his arms could bend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those tricky angles were impossible to defend against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap…\" Markham's eyes were wide. \"Ethan, man, that's some god-tier skill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ryan and Leeroy looked stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't like they hadn't seen Ethan fight before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his speed… it wasn't this fast back then, was it? How long had it been? His speed had reached such a terrifying level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobby and Rook were shocked too, but not by Ethan's power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were shocked that Ethan dared to attack Silverwood Enforcers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has he lost his mind, or whatt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Markham had started throwing punches, they'd have thought it was par for the course. That guy was a magnet for trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not just any trouble—the kind that blew up spectacularly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ethan? What gave him the nerve to attack the Enforcers in their own stronghold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't know. They didn't know Ethan was riled up by what Morzan had suddenly appeared and said. That, and Morzan had generally soured his mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, hearing about Markham's situation… He thought about himself. Growing up in an orphanage, never knowing his parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had ever really looked out for him, his whole life. It had shaped his current personality: always cautious, always holding back a bit, weighing the pros and cons before acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like Ethereal was the only place he could truly be himself. There, he could kill who he wanted, do whatever he pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, when Markham and his crew had arrived, everyone was being boisterous. Only Ethan, watching them, felt like he couldn't quite fit in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insecurity of an orphan was etched deep in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when these guys kicked down the gate, the fury suppressed deep inside him suddenly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, Morzan would always pop up out of nowhere, telling him he was being too cocky, that he'd be cocky to his own doom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Morzan had popped up again, calling him timid and afraid, saying he wouldn't be able to protect anyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn it, you've had your say on both sides of the coin!' Ethan fumed internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Since you say I'm timid and afraid of trouble, I'll show you just how wild I can be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You regressed me, and then you tell me not to be afraid of trouble. So, you wouldn't let me die easily, right?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan mulled over this connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, this time, he struck without hesitation. He unleashed his legendary Face-Slapper technique, something he hadn't used in a long, long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the only kind of attack that wouldn't compromise his speed. He'd discovered that when he ramped up his speed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using other skill-based attacks would cause him to momentarily falter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But slapping people around… oh, he loved that far too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thoroughly satisfying beatdown!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, it was a completely one-sided thrashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To even be a member of Silverwood Enforcers, the minimum requirement was the Prenatal Energy stage. In the outside world, these were Energy Wielders, one in ten thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any one of them, taken outside, would be considered a master. Yet, faced with Ethan's Face-Slapper technique, they were utterly defenseless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan vented all his pent-up emotions, all his fury. It was actually a good thing this group were all Energy Wielders. Otherwise, even without using a skill, just with his raw strength, their heads would have been slapped clean off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Elias, he received Ethan's special attention. Ethan also conveniently blocked the doorway. If anyone tried to bolt, he'd flash in front of them. What greeted them would be a swift one-two of slaps to both cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham and the others winced, a flicker of sympathy in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaargh… Help me…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't hit my face…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah… Please, I'm begging you, stop hitting me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of formerly handsome men, now with faces swollen like prize-winning pumpkins, forgot this was Silverwood territory, forgot they were Enforcers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even forgot how they'd been sneering at their captain, Lars, just moments before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only two women from the team managed to scramble out the main gate. They stared back in panic, unsure what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pumpkin-headed men inside the courtyard desperately charged the gateway, trying to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with their faces so swollen their eyes were squeezed into slits, They couldn't see clearly, blundering about like headless chickens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Ethan was giving Elias his undivided attention, a few who'd lost their bearings tried to jump the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as they leaped, a yellow light and a chess piece struck them simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were yanked right back down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bobby and Ryan paused, then looked at each other and grinned, a sense of kindred spirits found too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two sly dogs, at some point, had set up two Impediment Wards on the courtyard walls, preventing these guys from escaping over them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silverwood crew, seeing they couldn't jump the wall either, started running around in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them, sporting a thoroughly pummeled face, made a beeline for Markham. He was about to crash into Markham's grill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't come over here! My skewers are almost done! If you knock this over, I'll end you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the guy didn't hear clearly, or if his ears were ringing too much from Ethan's slaps, he completely ignored Markham's warning and charged straight ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwack…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaargh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Markham shot out a kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It landed squarely on the man's stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went flying, with such force and speed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That even the two Impediment Wards flashing on the wall failed to intercept him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>U\u003C\u002Fp>",1193,"2026-06-02T11:41:20.826Z",1,"novelbin.me","99358abeebf9793b575fb3a815aa8077795a96ad053c2ad3f7923153c899be56","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-263","level-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-chapter-261",946,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flevel-1-to-infinity-my-bloodline-is-the-ultimate-cover.jpg"]
