"Gulp!"
Little Pete swallowed, watching the two brothers wrestle.
"Who do you think will be the stronger one?"
"You really don't need to go to the hospital, Pete?"
Chloe asked, supporting him with concern.
"Of course, I'll probably only see a sight like this once in my life, so waiting a bit longer is fine."
Pete said weakly.
Lana, standing nearby, looked at Eric with worry.
Despite having just witnessed his incredible performance of beating Clark, she couldn't help but worry for him.
"Ugh!"
Clark, gritting his teeth fiercely, saw his strength about to be suppressed and suddenly swung his head, directly launching a headbutt attack at Eric.
With a bang!
Eric was slightly dazed by his headbutt.
Immediately, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
He gripped Clark's fist and slowly rose from the ground.
Hovering in the air, he launched a headbutt attack at Clark from above.
Bang!
An invisible wave spread outwards.
Eric's head slammed hard into Clark's head.
He directly headbutted Clark, sending him crashing to the ground.
Clark's back slammed into the ground, immediately causing the ground to crack and dust to fly, his entire body completely sinking into the earth.
Dazed, he could only gasp for air, having lost the strength to stand up.
Lana, watching from the side, let out a long sigh of relief when she saw Eric use a headbutt to slam Clark into the ground.
Although the battle between the two of them made her feel a little turbulent inside at this moment.
Eric slowly descended to the ground, looking at Clark lying on the ground, and shook his head.
"Clark, you're wrong, you're the angrier one. When you're enraged, you should try to show contempt for your opponent while angry, but you must not show fear in your anger. Even though you don't look like the usual Clark right now, I can still smell your fear."
"You reek of weakness."
Saying that, he turned and walked towards Jonathan.
"Eric!"
Jonathan, supported by Jessica and walking over, clutched his waist and shouted at Eric, "Destroy the red kryptonite ring in Clark's hand."
Hearing his father's words, Eric turned to look at Clark lying in the pit, and indeed saw the ring on his finger.
"Red kryptonite?"
Eric fell into thought.
In his previous life, he had also heard that Superman could be affected by different colors of kryptonite.
For example, green kryptonite weakens Kryptonians, gold kryptonite permanently removes abilities, and red kryptonite removes moral sense.
Was the reason Clark was so strange because of the red ring he was wearing?
Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but Eric's actions didn't stop, and he reached for the ring on Clark's finger.
But Clark, who had been breathing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and quickly threw a lead box at Eric.
Eric's vision could be blocked by zinc, but it was not affected by lead. His x-ray vision immediately saw that the lead box contained green kryptonite.
He wants to use green kryptonite to deal with me?
Eric, a cold smile on his lips, grabbed the lead box.
The next second, the lead box in his hand exploded violently!
Green dust quickly filled the air around Eric.
And Clark, at the moment the lead box exploded, had already fled the blast radius.
"Eric!"
Seeing his younger son injured by Clark's underhanded trick, and the situation instantly reversed, Jonathan couldn't help but blurt out a curse.
"Clark, you sour radish bitch!"
He immediately disregarded his injuries, took off his jacket to cover his mouth and nose, and ran towards the area where Eric was surrounded by green kryptonite dust.
He knew that Eric, like Clark, had an allergic reaction to green kryptonite dust.
But the next second, he was blocked by Clark.
Clark, his clothes tattered and breathing slightly heavily, blocked Jonathan, his eyes gleaming with triumph.
"It seems I have won this war of freedom versus confinement."
Clark asked his father, "Do you know how I feel right now?"
"Excited, ecstatic, or perhaps triumphant? No, none of those. I just proved to you that the son you favored, he was thoroughly defeated by me, your pride is worthless."
Jonathan looked at Clark in shock, "How dare you treat your brother that way?!"
"Why not? Didn't you also plan to use green kryptonite fragments to deal with me at first?"
Clark sneered, "I'm just learning from you."
"Get out of the way! Clark!"
Jonathan looked at his eldest son with a grim expression, "You know what that stuff does to your brother."
"What if I don't?!"
Clark looked at Jessica and her father with a sinister expression, "I'm only interested in my million dollars right now, and stopping Eric from getting up. Anyone who stands in my way for this goal is my enemy!"
Jessica felt a chill from his gaze and, supporting her father, prepared to leave quickly.
Clark, showing no intention of chasing, shook his head, "Go ahead and run. A mile? Or two miles?"
"I'll stop you, Clark!"
Clark turned his face and found Lana standing in front of him.
Chloe and Pete also stood with Lana, "We will all stop you, Clark!"
"Good!"
Clark gritted his teeth and slowly clenched his fists.
The next second, a whooshing sound echoed.
The air let out a sharp whistle as Eric flashed and jumped to the ground near Clark.
Jumping from over ten meters high to the ground, he instantly caused the ground to crack.
Using the force of his jump and impact, Eric unleashed a hateful punch, directly sending Clark stumbling backward.
With a loud bang, Clark was once again slammed into the ground, and like a baseball hitting the ground, he bounced up and slammed down again, repeating this several times.
Jonathan and the others, who felt a whistling wind pass by their ears, saw Eric return.
At first there was surprise, followed by a surge of immense excitement in their hearts.
"Eric, how are you?"
Jonathan gripped Eric's hand excitedly, too emotional to speak.
"I escaped before the kryptonite dust dispersed. Although I inhaled some, it wasn't fatal."
Eric calmly told his father.
The real reason, of course, was not that.
kryptonite dust could not harm him; even if he inhaled all of it, it would not affect him in the slightest.
The reason he lied to his father was simply to maintain his "Kryptonian" persona.
Lana looked at Eric excitedly, wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing, only watching Eric turn away.
Facing his cheap older brother, who he had slammed into the ground, Eric decided not only to take the ring from him but also to give him a painful lesson he would never forget.
