General Ross was expressionless.
But... his heart was in turmoil!
After confirming his suspicions with the experimental personnel, a figure appeared in his mind.
Captain America, Steve Rogers.
To this day, he is still the only being who has consumed the 'Super Soldier Serum' and possesses the strongest combat power known to man.
The Military has never given up on replicating the 'Super Soldier Serum'.
But ever since Abraham Erskine was attacked and killed, the true Super Soldier Serum formula has disappeared into history.
However, one thing is certain.
The true Super Soldier Serum requires gamma rays.
This is also the fundamental reason for the Hulk's birth.
Bruce Banner was previously a scientist for the Military. During his research on gamma rays and the Super Soldier Serum, an accidental gamma ray explosion led to the birth of the Hulk.
This gave General Ross hope.
Even if the Hulk was uncontrollable.
But now.
A human who showed no non-human characteristics at all.
Non-human reaction speed.
Extraordinary strength and jumping ability.
Gamma rays that had completely disappeared.
General Ross was now certain that this intruder came for gamma rays.
And the combination of these three pieces of information, without exception, told General Ross one thing.
This was the Super Soldier he was looking for.
So... "Find him!"
"At all costs!"
General Ross instinctively clenched his right hand, looking at the gamma laboratory, which had already become a ruin. His eyes showed no anger, but rather endless excitement.
Hawk had no idea that he had been targeted by General Ross, who once chased Bruce Banner all over the World.
However... even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Because Hawk had already left Quantico, and was not even within the scope of Washington D.C..
Now Hawk was at the bottom of a waterfall.
Rumble!
The Water of the waterfall cascaded down like thunder, then crashed onto Hawk, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, naked except for a pair of shorts, in the Water.
But the moment the cascading Water hit Hawk like falling rocks, it seemed to instantly vaporize, and endless White mist appeared from Hawk's body.
This was the deepest part of Cunningham Falls State Park near Thurmont, Maryland.
Rarely visited by people.
Hawk had been here for over twenty days.
For these twenty-plus days, Hawk, placing himself under the waterfall, had only been doing one thing.
Burning his Little Universe.
In the Little Universe.
At this moment, the phoenix constellation, which seemed to be carved in the sky of his Little Universe, shone brightly, and the phantom of a Phoenix bathed in Fire flickered within the phoenix constellation.
He was not in a hurry to return to New York City.
On the one hand, it wasn't time for the summer semester to start, and on the other hand, he planned to let things settle for a while.
For example... Hawk wanted to see if the people from Quantico could find him, who was hiding here, after he had caused such a stir at Quantico.
If they couldn't, it wouldn't be too late for him to return to New York City.
But if they found him, he wasn't afraid either.
He had specifically chosen this place; within a five-kilometer radius centered here, it was all primeval forest.
Rarely visited by people, it was truly a good place for killing.
Little Blacks are beings who fear power, not virtue. To make Little Blacks submit, morality is useless; only killing them, making them afraid to kill, making them tremble, will they naturally submit.
The Military is the same.
How does that saying go?
When the United States Military accuses you of having weapons of mass destruction, you'd better actually have them.
Why?
Because if you really have them, the United States Military won't dare to actually fight you.
But if you pretend you have them, then I'm sorry, the United States Military will strike hard.
So... Hawk specifically chose this place, where ordinary people were unlikely to come, as his imagined battlefield. He just waited for the Military to find him, start a war on the spot, beat the Military into submission, make them tremble, and then dust himself off and return to his New York City.
But over twenty days had passed.
Let alone a Shadow of the Military, Hawk hadn't even seen a Shadow of an ordinary person.
But it didn't matter.
Hawk chose to stay here not just to wait for the Military to find him; at least, that wasn't the main purpose.
He was attracted to the waterfall here.
Hawk planned to use the waterfall here to help him break through in one fell swoop and completely light up the phoenix constellation in his Little Universe.
Hawk, sitting cross-legged in the Water, slowly closed his eyes, using the cascading Water of the waterfall, which emitted a rumbling thunderous sound, to temper himself.
For these twenty-plus days.
During the day, he continuously threw punches against the resistance of the waterfall. At night, he sealed his five senses, sat cross-legged in the Water, tempering himself with the continuously flowing Water of the waterfall for twenty-four hours, and at the same time, used the opportunity of sealing his five senses to try and find a chance to touch the Sixth Sense.
To be precise, Bronze Saints cannot be called true saint seiya.
Uh... except for the five main characters.
Only saint seiya who have awakened the Sixth Sense and truly controlled their Sixth Sense are qualified to be called true saint seiya.
Hawk didn't expect to awaken and master the Sixth Sense now.
That was unrealistic.
He just thought, since he was idle anyway, if he was lucky, it would be great if he could touch the edge of the Sixth Sense during this time.
The Sixth Sense was a good thing.
saint seiya who had awakened the Sixth Sense and those who hadn't were completely different beings.
Above the five senses.
Once a saint seiya awakens and masters the Sixth Sense, they possess infinite possibilities such as manipulating elements, predicting the future, psychokinesis, flying, illusions... and so on.
It is precisely because of this that saint seiya who awaken and master the Sixth Sense are worthy of being called true saint seiya.
What a pity!
Let alone awakening it, he hadn't even found the door to the Sixth Sense.
Hawk in the Water slowly opened his eyes, then stood still like a mountain, ignoring the pressure of the cascading waterfall, and slowly rose from the Water.
Hawk's whole body was boiling with blood and qi, hot waves rolled, and bursts of White smoke rose from around his body.
And in this boiling White mist, the fiery red Phoenix Shadow flickered behind Hawk.
Yes.
Phoenix.
Although Hawk had been here for over twenty days, he hadn't waited for the Military, nor had he found the door to the Sixth Sense.
But his main goal was still accomplished.
Hawk had now successfully lit his first constellation.
One of the forty-eight Bronze Constellations!
Phoenix!
The next moment.
Hawk looked at the cascading waterfall in front of him and threw his first punch, beginning his new daily task of ten thousand punches...
