Chapter 1 Robbie's Condition

Robbie had just finished a course of treatment and felt that Tianjing was making a bit of a fuss, but it was also a good thing to recover sooner. Li Hao's attacks were quite measured, and he also took Robbie's physical condition into account. His "misery" was entirely a reaction to pushing his body to its limits; only the exterior was frightening.

At this moment, Ophie was sitting opposite Robbie, watching him eat and drink heartily, not looking like a patient at all.

"I thought you were beaten to death," Ophie said, estimating the extent of Robbie's improvement this time.

"Ophie, we're old friends, why bother!" Robbie said with a smile, in a great mood and not caring at all.

"How do you feel? What level has Second Brother recovered to?" Ophie asked. The entire Mid-Season Competition was currently seething with undercurrents. Whether it was about old scores or maintaining his kingly status, Chao Qinglong wouldn't sit idly by.

Robbie shook his head with a wry smile. "Don't even mention it. I can't feel anything. Logically, he shouldn't have had systematic training opportunities in these five years, but how do I feel like he's even more unfathomable than before?"

"You reached the Burning Will?" Ophie nodded, looking at Robbie's undisguised smugness. Clearly, his wish had been fulfilled. Having the Burning Will would make him a force to be reckoned with in this Mid-Season Competition.

"Ophie, who are you looking down on? Is merely the Burning Will enough?" Robbie glanced at Ophie sideways, his smugness overflowing.

Ophie didn't speak, just looked at Robbie calmly.

"You're really boring. You're making me do a solo performance. I touched a bit of the threshold of the third stage, but my body couldn't hold on. What a pity."

"There's no need to feel sorry. Given your condition, if it weren't for Second Brother, I'd be preparing a wreath for you right now," Ophie said. "The Burning Will isn't even solidified yet, and your understanding of the third stage is very superficial. The realm isn't about speed, but about stability. Understand? Control the power. Second Brother probably didn't even use his red eyes when he hit you, right?"

Robbie was speechless. Ophie was still fierce. He probably reached the third stage. He could only scratch his head awkwardly. "When are you planning to?"

"Towards the end of training. Right now, I'm helping Second Brother sort out the people. These people have a pretty good foundation. Let's see what level they can transform to," Ophie said.

"Then pick one. Let's each find one and see who's fiercer," Robbie said. He liked challenges and always wanted to find competition.

"Zhou Nanyi."

"You're clearly letting me win. Then I'll have to choose Musashi. Don't say I'm bullying you then!"

"Heh heh."

"Speak properly. Your eyes always make me feel like you're questioning my intelligence!"

"Be more confident. Remove the 'feel'," Ophie said. "Does Musashi still need you? The Musashi family has their own set of skills. Malone or Huo Ying, choose one."

Robbie had a headache. From the day he met Ophie, he felt hurt talking to him. Bricks or stones? Can these two pieces of trash still be saved?

"I'll choose Malone then. At least his appearance is more in line with my requirements."

"Okay, you can be discharged tomorrow then. Don't get in the way here."

"Big sister, I was just seriously injured. Bone recovery takes time. What if I develop hidden injuries? Are you going to be responsible for me?" Robbie said with a mournful face.

"Is that so? I saw you chatting happily with the little nurse. You're having too much fun to think of home, right? Do you even understand what the Burning Will means?"

"Okay, okay, you're the boss, you're amazing. I'll be discharged tomorrow."

Of course, being discharged didn't mean he could spar, but lying down all the time wasn't a good thing either. Even if Ophie didn't say it, he would have gone out for a walk anyway.

A new day began. The campus of Tianjing Mech Warriors Academy was still so beautiful. Everyone was full of vigor, and the sounds of "huh huh ha ha" could be heard from the training ground early in the morning.

Although Robbie was still bandaged, he had already appeared on the training ground, which made the Cougar team full of energy. The training ground was filled with Robbie's supervising shouts. "San Nan, did you have a happy time yesterday? How many times has it been? So soft!"

"Everyone, cheer up, put some force into it! Lysistheus, I'm almost falling asleep. Let me hear a bang!"

The members of the Round Table Knights and Tianxing teams were also doing basic training. Ophie's battle yesterday really brought about a big change. It was said that the entire E

Musashi glanced over. "Golden Zone."

"Ah?" Malone opened his mouth wide. "Why didn't you tell everyone such good news?"

"What's there to say?" Musashi looked at Malone strangely. There were not many members here who hadn't awakened. It was just a state. As he spoke, he nodded towards the other side.

Zuo Xiaotang had gotten up, which was a little better than Li Hao, but he was there in body but not in spirit. He didn't react much when he heard that Zhou Nanyi had awakened the Golden Zone.

Musashi couldn't stand it anymore and had already picked up Zuo Xiaotang. Malone quickly went up to stop him. "What are you doing? Put him down quickly. Let Brother Zuo relax slowly."

Musashi looked at the dazed Zuo Xiaotang. "I don't understand emotions very well, but isn't it normal not to find a partner? We ourselves haven't become our ideal selves. The Mid-Season Competition is approaching. Look around, look at these people who are stronger and more excellent than us. What right do we have to be decadent here?"

Zuo Xiaotang's hazy eyes subconsciously looked around. The top three teams were all training very soberly and diligently. Even Robbie, who had just been injured, had come with crutches.

He didn't complain about Lu Ying, but his mind was very chaotic. He couldn't explain it clearly, but what Musashi said was right. What did he look like now?

Instead of thinking wildly, it was better to do what he could do, not to prove anything, nor to do anything else, just to become a better version of himself.

Zuo Xiaotang's tangled face gradually relaxed. "Quick, put me down. Don't I have any pride? Brothers, I've figured it out!"

"Really?"

"Really, really, put me down quickly!"

Malone couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Awesome, Teacher Musashi is a true master. I thought about it all night yesterday and couldn't summarize it so succinctly."

It was Musashi's turn to be embarrassed. He had forgotten what he had just said.

"Malone, Robbie seems to be calling you," Zuo Xiaotang pointed not far away.

"Okay, Musashi, take care of Brother Zuo. I'll go over first. Brother Hao isn't here, so I must shoulder the responsibility of leading the team. Alas, a genius can't be ignored wherever he goes."

Malone went happily. After all, he was with the Six Dragons Robbie. In the past, he would have had to wait in line just to take a photo with him... Should I post it on WeChat Moments?

Zuo Xiaotang glanced at the transparent glass next door. That was the tactics room. Lu Ying didn't come, but Zuo Xiaotang was relieved. Sometimes, a word that speaks to the heart is truly a liberation. Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao were talking about something. Seemingly sensing his gaze, Lu Lingxiao looked over here. Their eyes met, and Lu Lingxiao smiled slightly, as if Tan Ziyuan was teasing her about something. Zuo Xiaotang quickly looked away. Start training. What is the ideal self?

Zuo Xiaotang didn't really know, but the only successful thing in his life was to be a useful sniper for the team, to be with everyone.

Li Hao in the dormitory... was there in body but not in spirit.

Under Master Ma's guidance, Li Hao also felt that he had understood. In fact, no matter what A Youyou thought now, he should find the Ocean Heart. This was his intention. Master Ma had a good saying: Stop fantasizing all day about how you are, take action.

He had been wandering in the Giant Insect Nest all night. Li Hao understood the structure of the Giant Insect better than anyone else. The silicon-based life form's resistance and environmental adaptability were too strong. It was resistant to high temperatures and low temperatures, and could survive in some other extreme environments. The internal structure was biological, but the overall composition was a very meticulous circuit pattern. The brain was very small. Li Hao suspected that the main function of their brain was to receive information from the upper layers.

Generally, oxygen was actually quite harmful to silicon-based life forms, so Kepler was also a freak. The Giant Insect's body had a natural oxygen-excluding function. Only after death would it be invaded by oxygen and begin to crystallize. The crystallized Giant Insect then became part of Kepler again, which was really good from an environmental point of view.

The current Li Hao dominated a high-level Giant Insect. It took him some time. Killing a high-level Giant Insect was easier, but it was quite difficult to control it completely intact. Li Hao was exhausted. He was still too unfamiliar with the vast Kepler. He didn't know when he would find it if he just searched blindly. He wanted to try the Giant Insect's own lines. Low-level Giant Insects probably couldn't come into contact with the Ocean Heart.

This belonged to a dangerous species that the military had not yet announced. Kevin had seen relevant documents about this. It was called the B-series Lethal Giant Insect - Venom.

It was a bit like a giant centipede, more than ten meters long and four meters wide, with many compound eyes on its sides, providing a 360-degree view without blind spots. It had huge mandibles, but of course, they were not mainly used for attacking. Compared to the Giant Insect's regular combat power, these mandibles were very weak. Its ability was to spray a kind of venom. Once the mech was contaminated, it would spread like an active virus, manifesting as a strong corrosive, severely damaging the mech.
