I’m Someone Else

Chapter 337

Chapter 337

Olivia’s heart clenched every time Gunnar attacked Thomas. She felt so anxious that she even found it difficult to breathe. Even Olivia, who was a complete outsider when it came to martial arts and combat, could see that things weren’t going so great for her man.

It was true that Thomas was suffering from the side effects of the medicine, and his physical condition was a far cry from how it used to be. His capabilities were also getting worse by the day, and it truly was a little challenging for him to fight Gunnar. But it was only a little challenging.

Bang!

Just then, a scene came into play, causing Olivia to almost lose her mind.

With a clean and direct punch, Gunnar hit Thomas’ chest. Thomas looked like he couldn’t dodge it in time, so he didn’t manage to avoid the entirety of the attack. The punch landed squarely on the left side of Thomas’ chest.

“Thomas!”

At that instant, Olivia’s tears burst out of her eyes. She tried to dash into the arena, but Leah held her back from the side. Olivia must not go in there. What if she gets caught in the crossfire and gets injured?

Leah didn’t mind if a nobody like Thomas died, but Olivia must be kept safe at all costs! “All right!” Reuben shouted, clapping his thigh. He seemed quite excited. Gunnar was a chip off the old block, after all. How could his son be an average Joe? It was a piece of cake for Gunnar to take care of some trash!

“Great job!”

“You’re amazing!”

The people belonging to the Flynn Family cheered as well.

“You’re just some trash, so know your place! How dare you try to fight me? Go to hell!”

Seeing that a hit had landed on Thomas, Gunnar put a gleeful smile on his face. A sharp look emanated from his eyes. He maniacally summoned strength from his elixir field. In an instant, immense power surged into his right fist. He would kill Thomas with this single punch!

“Hm?”

However, Gunnar noticed something eerie. The immense power on his fist didn’t feel like it was colliding with a human body. Instead, he felt like he was hitting a piece of sponge. When the strength of his fist rammed into Thomas’ body, it disappeared without a trace.

He couldn’t help but look up at Thomas’ expression. Thomas seemed calm as always, and he didn’t look like he was in excruciating pain, the sort of reaction Gunnar expected. What’s going on? Is Thomas inhuman or something?

Swish! Thomas shook his body and sent out a lightning-fast punch with his right hand at the same time.

Boom!

After the loud noise, Gunnar felt as if his entire vision was convulsing. He failed to realize that it wasn’t his vision shaking, but he was flying in the air instead.

Right after that, he fell to the ground, sensing a piercing pain spreading from his chest.

“Urk!” Gunnar opened his mouth and spurted out mouthfuls of fresh blood.

Thomas’ punch was too powerful! It not only contained Thomas’ strength, but it also included the energy of Gunnar’s punch. With the foreign energy stacking onto Thomas’ original power and then both

getting used on Gunnar’s body, how could Gunnar endure this at all?

“Borrowing Energy to Fight!”

Kyrie, who had been calm all this while, couldn’t sit still any longer. He immediately got to his feet, shock filling his gaze.

Borrowing Energy to Fight was an ultimate skill. It was also a skill that had been lost to time almost a hundred years ago, but Thomas had mastered it! How is this possible?

“Grandpa, are you all right?”

Colby, who was beside Kyrie, was also startled by Kyrie’s reaction. For as long as he could remember, his grandfather had remained calm no matter what happened, so what had happened to him? Why did he have such a strong reaction?

Kyrie shook his head. “It’s nothing. When the duel is over, I have to have a proper talk with Thomas. There is more to him than meets the eye!” He took a deep breath, then sat back in his chair as he silently witnessed the events unfolding in the arena.

When he thought about it, it made sense. His late friend was an esteemed person, and he kept saying that Thomas was his comrade. Any common person wouldn’t have caught his attention.

The skill Thomas used, Borrowing Energy to Fight, was the ultimate skill he used when he fought the Hind Family and the Xalmar Family. When energy collided with his body, it not only was incapable of hurting him, but it would also become part of Thomas’ energy.

“What the hell is going on?”

The Flynns and the Wilkersons gaped in shock as they looked in disbelief at the scene in the arena. They saw Gunnar hitting Thomas’ body, but why was Thomas completely fine? Even if he was lucky enough not to be affected by the punch, how could he possibly send Gunnar flying with just a punch?

Is this some sort of witchcraft?

Borrowing Energy to Fight was a book Thomas received from the crazed old man before he was enlisted. Thomas remembered clearly that the old man had given him lots of books, and Borrowing Energy to Fight was one of them. The old man said that Thomas would have quite a lot of free time after enlisting, so he should spend that time learning all sorts of things.

When Thomas heard that, he couldn’t help but feel exasperated. Learn all sorts of things? Is this old man kidding? If I want to learn, I’ll attend college instead of getting enlisted.

Even now, Thomas didn’t understand why the man tried so hard to stop him from going to college and forced him to enlist instead.

Still, he reaped some rewards. In those eight years, whenever he had free time, he would study the books the old man gave him. Borrowing Energy to Fight might seem like an easy task, but it wasn’t at all. One had to be in sync with their body and completely in control of their power to learn it. Despite Thomas’ astounding talent, he had to feel around and practice for eight years before he achieved some success like he did today.

Thomas looked coldly at Gunnar, who was lying on the ground with blood trickling out of his mouth. He shook his head in disdain. How could Gunnar call himself a genius like this? He was probably a genius at losing, if anything.

Gunnar had completely lost, and he had suffered utter defeat!

Thomas had no intention of letting this potential threat live. He ambled up to Gunnar, then raised his fist. Gunnar seemed to be in excruciating pain as he gasped for breath. Thomas didn’t mind being kind for a change; he would release Gunnar from his suffering.

“Thomas you mutt! How dare you touch my son?!” With a roar, Reuben dashed toward the arena. He couldn’t be bothered about rules anymore; his top priority was to save his precious son.

He saw everything. His son was lying on the ground, close to death’s door, so how could he have the energy to avoid Thomas’ iron punches? If Thomas threw another few punches at him, he would be dead!

Gunnar was Reuben’s pride and the future head of the Flynn Family!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sadly, Reuben had just run up to the edge of the arena when Theodore, Samuel, and John made their move, forcing him to stay back.
