Ethan was in a way worse condition, the blood flowing down from his temple was sustained during the battle when the beast had struck out with another tail strike and Ethan was slow to block and was sent flying straight into the mountain. He collapsed a whole side of the mountain before he slowly walked out from the rubble to just charge straight back into the fray.
Well, it was supposed to happen, Ethan in terms of cultivation is one level lower and an Earth-Thunderbeast was quite a strong monster to boot. Were it not for his battle prowess being so strong as it was, he would have lost the battle already. There were times in the battle when Ethan even thanked the system for bestowing him the celestial life-breathing technique since the massive boost in vitality allowed him to continue to fight.
