Chapter 1 Is this enough for a core martial art? What’s the point?

The audience area was also full of discussions. Chao Qinglong versus Sillian, if it was a pilot battle, Chao Qinglong would have a 30-70 chance. But if it was a mecha battle, Chao Qinglong would have a 40-60 chance, still with a 40% chance of winning. There was a gap back then, but it wasn't that ridiculous. Now, even with a conservative estimate, there was still hope.

The power of Shadow Sentinel was something Sillian had shown everyone. This was everyone’s consensus.

So, no matter the result, everyone would get to see Sillian's trump card.

The battle environment – Kepler's desperate battlefield.

Unlike Kepler's regular battlefield, the first giant insect tide would appear in five minutes, followed by sporadic appearances, each one stronger than the last. This was a nightmare battle scenario that in previous years would only appear in the finals.

Chao Qinglong chose his Super Mobile Suit – Dragon King Creed. This was a difficult super mecha designed with the participation of the North Carolina Rosay Academy, tailor-made for Chao Qinglong, capable of bringing out his super physical fitness and technique. With this mobile suit, North Carolina Rosay, led by Chao Qinglong last year, overcame obstacles all the way. In the finals, they encountered Eternal. In the singles match, Fan Liweite used Tian Ji's strategy, directly avoiding a head-on confrontation, entering the team battle with a score of 2:3. They made full use of the terrain and tactics, as well as some luck, to break through one by one. Finally, in a three-on-one situation, constantly pulling, they defeated Dragon King Creed to win the championship. Fan Liweite won the MVP. In fact, most people still thought Chao Qinglong was the strongest in the previous session.

Dragon King Creed, USE, 85 tons.

Five-drive nuclear fission system, K23 titanium Dragon Flame Halberd, titanium shield, laser gun.

Laser eyes, retractable shoulder missile system, embedded chest photon cannon.

This mobile suit is also currently the most powerful and fierce mecha on Earth.

Sillian chose the Moon's super signature – Thunderfire Zeus.

Thunderfire Zeus, NUP, 80 tons.

Thunderfire four-drive nuclear fission system, Thunderfire mimicry system, K23 Thunder Blade, titanium shield.

Laser eyes, retractable shoulder missile system, Thunderfire laser gun.

The two mobile suits landed in the Kepler jungle. With a *pa* sound, the Dragon Flame Halberd popped out, and Dragon King Creed grabbed it, drawing an arc towards Thunderfire Zeus.

Sillian drew his Thunder Blade. The two mobile suits faced each other, making eye contact. It had been five years.

"Do you regret your decision back then?" Sillian suddenly asked.

Chao Qinglong's eyes were deep, "Never!"

*Boom.*

Both of them fully opened their golden zone. Black flames spread along the Dragon Flame Halberd to the entire mecha, and the suffocating pressure, like a hell dragon, pounced on the Thunderfire mecha. At this moment, the purple-gold light on the Thunderfire mecha exploded, blooming along the Thunder Blade. With a sweep of the Thunder Blade, *bo*.

Two streams of light and flame soared into the sky, circling and confronting each other, directly entering the core martial art state. The vast Kepler jungle had been divided into two distinct parts, one a black flame hell, the other a purple-gold dynasty. At the junction, light and flames surged, already forming a substantial confrontation. The ground rolled up vanguard, followed by tearing, but neither mobile suit moved.

Admittedly, the new mecha of the Molafis family was not used this time, but top pilots can fully enhance their golden zone through the K23 in the weapon as a medium. This is also humanity's terrifying evolutionary ability. Once a new force is discovered by humans, it will soon be pushed to a new height.

The engines roared. The next second, a thunderclap on the flat ground, and the two mobile suits shot out at the same time, instantly arriving in the middle of the field. The Dragon Flame Halberd and the Thunder Blade crashed together in an instant, *dang dang dang dang dang*...

Deafening explosions, each strike accompanied by ground tremors. Black flames and purple-gold flames constantly squeezed each other. Last year, Chao Qinglong relied on his Dragon Flame Halberd to kill in all directions. Even Fan Liweite, when facing Chao Qinglong's outnumbered situation, played fancy tricks. But obviously, Sillian's Thunderfire mecha, with a Thunder Blade, intended to confront Chao Qinglong head-on. This made the people on the moon very excited.

Who doesn't like tough guys?

*Boom.*

The Thunder Blade and the titanium spear slammed together. The two mechas wrestled, unwilling to give way to each other, *kaka kaka boom.*

The ground collapsed. The two mobile suits soared into the air at the same time. The Dragon Flame Halberd suppressed forcefully. An inch longer, an inch stronger. The spear tip stabbed wildly. The Thunder Blade defended constantly. With a backward lean, the Dragon King mecha took the opportunity to strike. In mid-air, the Thunderfire mecha performed a swallow flight to return, swinging away the titanium spear. Chao Qinglong's Dragon King mecha directly flashed in the air. The mecha forcefully cut in and slammed a heart-piercing elbow with its left hand.

*Bang.*

The Thunderfire mecha suddenly disappeared, appearing behind the Dragon King mecha the next second. The Thunder Blade slashed out smoothly.

Reverse flash - Yan Shuangfei! (Swallow Double Flight)!

The Dragon Flame Halberd swung back in a circle, blocking the fatal reaping just in time. The mecha took the opportunity to advance, landing almost at the same time.

*Boom.*

The Thunderfire mecha was half a second faster, killing towards the Dragon King mecha's back. At this moment, the Dragon King mecha suddenly leaned back. The Dragon Flame Halberd shot out, directly aiming for the Thunderfire mecha's head.

The Thunderfire mecha instantly drifted into a large backward lean. The entire mecha almost lay flat, barely dodging this fatal blow. The two mobile suits roared at the same time. The powerful zone forcibly pulled up the mobile suits, and they bounced up almost at the same time, *dang dang dang dang*...

The Thunder Blade was even faster, quickly and continuously pressing down on the titanium spear, not giving Chao Qinglong a chance to gain momentum. Faced with Sillian's offensive, Chao Qinglong defended flawlessly. Facing the Thunderfire mecha's cut, the Dragon Flame Halberd in his hand spun wildly, *da da da da*...

Dozens of attacks were all blocked. *Dang.*

Another strike was blocked by the titanium spear. The Dragon King mecha punched out, and the Thunderfire mecha also punched out.

*Boom.*

The two mobile suits shook at the same time, but the next second, *boom boom.*

Another two punches were exchanged. The Dragon Flame Halberd killed out. The Thunderfire mecha advanced instead of retreating, dodging by a hair's breadth. The Thunder Blade went straight for the Dragon King. The Dragon King mecha directly retreated with a spinning kick.

*Boom.*

The two mobile suits pulled apart for more than twenty meters. The battlefield suddenly quieted down.

*Drip, drip, drip.*

Three seconds later, the completely scorched Kepler battlefield suddenly began to collapse, with ravines crisscrossing.

*Buzz buzz buzz.*

The alarm sounded. The first batch of dozens of giant insects poured out from all directions, pouncing on the two mobile suits. But Thunderfire Zeus and Dragon King Creed did not move, locking their aura on their opponents, until the giant insects approached.

The Thunder Blade flashed, and golden light leaked out. The Thunderfire mecha still did not move, but the giant insects that rushed over were already split in two. The remaining limbs still struggled. One of the razor heads flew over to bite the Thunderfire mecha, but was twisted and melted the moment it came into contact with the purple-gold flame.

On the other side, Dragon King Creed's Dragon Flame Halberd swept across the army. Black flames rolled, and the giant insects that rushed in struggled and screamed as if corroded by strong acid. But the nature of the giant insects still rushed forward, but they had already fallen before reaching the Dragon King mecha.

The entire scene was silent. Not to mention the audience, even the contestants were dumbfounded. They expected that these two people's abilities would be extraordinary, but they did not expect that they had reached this level. While everyone was complacent about the amplification effect of the K23 element, these two had completely mastered the use of the element.

*Pa.*

The Dragon Flame Halberd crossed, aiming at the Thunderfire mecha, "Sillian, Dragon Flame Eight Styles, prepared for you!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Sillian's mouth, and the Thunder Blade in his hand pointed diagonally at the ground, "My pleasure."

*Bang boom.*

The ground steamed. The Dragon King mecha, burning with soaring black fire, suddenly shot towards Thunderfire Zeus like a thunderclap on flat ground.

Dragon Flame First Style - Sinful Prison Fire!

The Dragon Flame Halberd killed towards the Thunderfire mecha with the force of Mount Tai. Sillian's eyes were full of reminiscence and excitement. Before the Dragon King mecha arrived, the Thunderfire mecha was suddenly surrounded by black fire. The ground crystallized visibly with a *zi zi* sound. At the same time, the Dragon King mecha had already flashed and killed. The black fire on the Dragon Flame Halberd was like a giant mouth that devours everything.

*Buzz bo.*

With a heaven-shattering move, rubble flew everywhere. The Thunderfire mecha was gone, and a huge crater appeared in its place, filled with burning black fire. No one knew what this flame was, like demon fire from hell.

The figure of the Thunderfire mecha had just flashed in the air. The Dragon King mecha on the ground suddenly held the halberd with both hands. The mecha paused suddenly, as if time had stopped. The next second, the Dragon Flame Halberd was swung out.

At this time, Chao Qinglong's Dragon King Creed was completely shrouded in a huge black dragon light and shadow.

Dragon Flame Second Style - Demonic Refinement Black Dragon Wave!

The black flame opened its huge mouth like a five-clawed black dragon, directly swallowing the Thunderfire mecha. At this time, the Thunderfire mecha radiated light, resisting the black fire's invasion. The Thunder Blade was firmly sealed, and it was directly pushed into the sky.

The center of the Dragon King Creed mecha was lowered, and the engine was constantly accumulating energy. It possessed the strongest five-core nuclear fusion engine in the solar system, so it was second to none in terms of kinetic energy.

Dragon Flame Third Style - Great Mighty Heavenly Net!

*Boom*..., the Dragon King mecha soared into the sky like a rocket. The Dragon Flame Halberd was ready in hand. At the moment of entering the attack range, it killed with one halberd. In an instant, the space seemed to be distorted, and a huge gravitational field formed with the Dragon Flame Halberd as the center.

Sillian's eyes also moved slightly. The Thunder Blade in his hand suddenly held backwards, and he swept out with one blade.

The force field cracked, but the Dragon Flame Halberd had already killed, directly pointing at the Thunder Blade. The energy in mid-air exploded like a clear sky rain, and the energy wave swept out. The two mobile suits were bounced off at the same time. The hellfire scattered on the ground was still burning fiercely. I don't know when the entire battlefield was shrouded in black fire, which was omnipresent and never extinguished.

USE's last trump card, Black Dragon Soul Chao Qinglong, universal force + hellfire!

However, Sillian, who wanted to create distance, suddenly found that the mecha was being pulled. At this time, the Dragon King mecha stretched out its left hand, and the violent gravity was holding the Thunderfire mecha tightly. Sillian then realized that he had made a mistake. In the moment of the fight, his Thunder Blade had also been contaminated with black fire. Although it was extinguished directly by his own golden zone, it opened up Chao Qinglong's gravitational field.

The power of the Thunderfire mecha suddenly reversed, and it killed directly towards Dragon King Creed along the gravity. The light of the Thunder Blade condensed. Did Chao Qinglong think he was afraid of head-to-head confrontation?

Dragon Flame Fourth Style - Reversal of Qiankun (Yin and Yang)!

In the area where the Thunderfire mecha rushed towards Chao Qinglong, a force field with coexisting gravity and repulsion suddenly appeared. This almost made Sillian, who wanted to use the force, vomit blood. The mecha instantly flipped, and the engine controlled it strongly, forcibly pulling it. The purple-gold light expanded by a circle, but it still could not get rid of it. At this time, the entire battlefield had been controlled by hellfire.

I don't know when a wave of giant insects emerged, but these giant insects had already fallen into the black fire before they started to struggle. Their corpses did not consume the black fire, but instead helped fuel the hellfire.

This had become Chao Qinglong's world.

As soon as Sillian stabilized the mecha, Dragon King Creed had already killed him. The Dragon Flame Halberd killed him. Sillian suddenly used both sword and shield. Under the stimulation of the golden zone, a golden giant shield with a thickness of one meter blocked in front of the mecha.

*Boom.*

Like a nuclear explosion, the purple-gold paused for a second. The Dragon Flame Halberd killed down in a continuous high frequency. Each strike inherited the previous strike, and killed back again at the moment when the reaction force had not yet rebounded!

Dragon Flame Fifth Style - Dragon Flame Three Stacking Waves!

*Bo.*

The huge zone energy shield directly burst. The titanium shield also made a buzzing sound. The true dragon rose straight into the sky. The Thunderfire mecha was directly blown away.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Everyone knew that Chao Qinglong was fierce, known as the number one singles player in the solar system. But who would have thought that he would be so fierce after he understood the golden zone.

"Didn't Third Brother use his full strength when sparring with Second Brother?"

"Nonsense, why use full strength with his own people!"

"Damn, Third Brother has a chance to defeat Sillian. Our era has arrived!"

"Damn it, don't praise, hold back, hold back. Smash him into渣渣 with one halberd!"

The Hunter crowd's eyes were wide open. If Chao Qinglong could defeat Sillian, then the era of Earth would truly arrive. With Li Hao and Chao Qinglong, other war zones would have no room to make waves. All that was missing was Sillian.

Chao Qinglong's pupils had been completely shrouded in hellfire. He did not blindly pursue, because Sillian had completely defended it. The key was that the titanium shield was not broken. He was indeed Sillian.

Seeing that his opponent was not fooled, Sillian's Thunderfire mecha suddenly braked its decline and instantly hovered extremely smartly.

At this time, everyone realized a problem. The ability to hover in the air, which could only be used to a certain extent by super mechas, had been broken through by the two of them. They were already performing operations in the air that overlooked the ground.

Black flames rolled, spinning around the Dragon Flame Titanium Halberd. The black was gradually becoming more and more dim, like a deep abyss that devours everything.

*Buzz.*

Dragon King Creed rushed towards the Thunderfire mecha like a dark giant, looking huge as if it was driving the entire battlefield. In fact, it appeared in front of the Thunderfire mecha in an instant. The huge black dragon shrouded the entire field.

Dragon Flame Sixth Style - Abyss Opening Sky Halberd!

*Bo boom!*

With a heaven-shattering loud noise, this time the purple-gold light shield of the Thunderfire mecha shattered together with the titanium shield. The fragments were instantly absorbed by the Dragon Flame Halberd, and the flame became even darker.

At this moment, everyone realized that Chao Qinglong was absorbing the essence of using K23, and the Thunderfire mecha was directly smashed to the ground like a meteorite.

*Rumble rumble rumble.*

With a loud explosion on the ground, a huge meteorite crater appeared. At this time, Chao Qinglong's Dragon King Creed was suspended in the air, holding the Dragon Flame Halberd high above his head. In an instant, black fire clouds swirled around, like the master of the abyss.

At this time, everyone in North Carolina Rosay was staring at their God of War, the strongest Chao Qinglong. They knew that Chao Qinglong would not give up, and would definitely win a championship for them. He definitely would!

The entire city stopped in its tracks. Everyone was looking at the screens, and everyone was expecting, praying, that their children, their warriors, the children of the city, their Chao Qinglong, could win a championship for this great city.
