You must know that with Ethan's current physique, telekinesis, Heart Drop Fist, and other abilities, even without considering the Thread Fruit, he is still a top-tier Nen user and certainly not weaker than Antonio from the Meteor Chase Team.
But despite this, Gatomon is not weak at all, and Ethan is even forced to use his Weapon Killing Fist to deal with it.
"Okay, let's stop here!"
After fighting for a while, Ethan blocked Gatomon's tearing claws with his "Immovable as a Mountain." Seeing that his opponent was about to launch another attack, he immediately stopped them.
This battle was just a test, not a real fight. Since the strength test was complete, there was no need to continue.
Moreover, he still needed to receive the [Cell Development Card] and didn't want his condition to worsen.
Hearing Ethan's words, Gatomon quickly stopped its upcoming attack.
"Very good, Gatomon. You're even more powerful than I expected!" Ethan praised without hesitation.
Based on the previous battle, Gatomon's strength was indeed impressive. In this world, its abilities were enough to rank among top-tier Nen users.
"Oh, Master, you flatter me!"
Gatomon scratched its head shyly, but its wagging tail betrayed its happiness at Ethan's praise.
Shiba and Mia quickly ran over as soon as they saw the battle end.
"Gatomon, you were amazing just now! I never realized you were this strong!"
Shiba joyfully scooped Gatomon into her arms, rubbing her cheek against its small furry face, much to Gatomon's mild annoyance.
Mia, equally excited, added, "With Gatomon being this powerful, we now have an extra strong fighter against the Meteor Chase Team."
"Indeed, Gatomon's strength is enough to take on anyone from the Meteor Chase Team." Ethan nodded, a satisfied smile on his face.
He had previously calculated that Shiba and Mia could each hold off one opponent. Now, with Gatomon's addition, they could handle at least three members of the enemy team.
"That leaves seven more. With my current strength, even if I add No. 1, I can only handle four at most. However, if I fully activate the Perfect Yin Seal and focus on a long battle, I might be able to take on one more. That would make it one against five!"
Ethan estimated the power difference between both sides in his mind.
On paper, Ethan's team seemed weaker than the Meteor Chase Team's two top-tier Nen users.
However, that was only based on pure lineup comparison.
In reality, Ethan could still compete with them.
After all, he didn't need to defeat the entire team in one go.
He could use the advantage of the Yin Seal to stall most of them, allowing Shiba, Mia, and Gatomon to focus on eliminating one or two members first.
As the Meteor Chase Team grew weaker, they would eventually be taken down by Ethan's team.
Thinking about this, Ethan decided it was time to receive the [Cell Development Card].
Meanwhile, in a luxurious mansion, the ten members of the Meteor Chase Team were gathered in the living room. Some were lazily sprawled on the couch, while others snacked absentmindedly.
"Any movement from the target yet?"
Number 3 asked, flipping through TV channels before glancing at Kevin, who was using Nen to track Ethan's location.
Hearing the question, the rest of the Meteor Chase Team turned their attention toward Kevin.
Although they appeared relaxed, it was just an act to pass the time. They hadn't forgotten their mission.
"No, he's still up in the sky. No new movements," Kevin responded, shaking his head.
Every now and then, he would use Nen to track Ethan's location, but the position remained unchanged—high above Kavos City.
"It's been days. Aside from that one time he came down, there's been no activity."
"Maybe he realized someone planted a Hidden Flower on him. He probably came down that day just to eliminate the tracker as a warning."
"If that's the case, then he succeeded. The Hidden Flower was removed that very day. I still don't know who planted it."
"The elders pushed us for updates again yesterday, but we can't do anything if he won't come down!"
Frustration filled the room as the Meteor Chase Team members discussed their predicament.
Antonio, quietly polishing his sword, remained silent, but his eyes flickered with cold intent.
Days had passed, and the mission was still incomplete. As the team captain, Antonio not only feared punishment but was also growing increasingly irritated.
"The moment he appears again, I will cut him down," Antonio muttered, raising his sword and slashing the air, leaving a sharp light trail.
Suddenly, Kevin's eyes widened.
"Wait—there's movement! The target has started to move!"
Kevin, who had been intently focused on his Nen tracking, suddenly jumped to his feet.
The red dot representing Ethan on his projected screen had started shifting.
"He's moving!" Kevin shouted, alerting the entire team.
