Depuya's dagger grazed Perkins' throat. Perkins leaned back nimbly, barely dodging it, but a bloody mark appeared on his neck. The next second, Perkins' leg kicked towards Depuya's vital point. Depuya twisted to dodge, but the position was too large, and Perkins hit Depuya with a double leg switch kick. However, Perkins' warning signs appeared – this kick actually landed solidly?

Although Depuya cursed verbally, he was very clear about Perkins' strength. This guy had been a little stronger than him since the days of the Apocalypse. To beat him, he had to use extraordinary means. He took a blow head-on, his body in severe pain, but he directly cut in, breaking Perkins' safe distance, preventing him from using his footwork advantage. A fight to the death!

The titanium knife in his hand aimed at Perkins' vital points with every move, a completely desperate fighting style – either he died, or they died together! With Depuya cutting into his center, Perkins was in a flurry, completely falling into a passive defense. The titanium knives collided continuously, creating a series of explosions.

Outsiders could only see a series of knife shadows. This was hardly a friendly exchange.

Everyone watched this thrilling fight! A careless move could mean instant death. Compared to Mad Dog Perkins, Depuya seemed even more insane, but the expressions of Orff and the others became even more solemn.

The titanium knives clashed together again, and the two were locked in a test of strength, their blood-red eyes meeting, their killing intent even stronger.

The titanium knife scraped across, creating a string of sparks. Depuya switched to a reverse grip, sticking to his opponent. Perkins wanted to control the distance, but his opponent was best at close combat, relying entirely on his nimble footwork and the titanium knife to defend, but even that was precarious.

Both of them were dancing on the edge of a knife, leaving everyone else dumbfounded. They also sparred, but they used wooden knives. Even wooden knives could kill people; if you hit someone hard enough, they could break a bone. These two were fighting with murderous intent, you'd think they had some deep hatred.

However, those who had participated in the Apocalypse didn't change their expressions at all, because that's how they trained back then. Even if there was no feud, they fought like this. Moreover, the four major federations had different camps back then, and with different styles, and the intentional creation of confrontation, the killing intent between team members was imaginable.

Back then, many people were eliminated from the Apocalypse because of serious injuries or even death. Thinking about it now, there was really something wrong with it.

*Tss*... after a round of frantic attacks, Depuya finally succeeded, a cut opened Perkins' chest, leaving a bloody mark, but Perkins also created some distance. He clamped his muscles, and the wound actually stopped bleeding on its own, leaving only a bloodstain.

Wiping the blood from the wound, Perkins arched his back, his expression a little ferocious. "Depuya, you couldn't beat me before, and you can't beat me now. There's no use in fighting desperately."

Depuya licked the blood from his dagger. "Is that so!"

Depuya suddenly launched, rushing directly towards Perkins, but after a few meters, Depuya's figure suddenly disappeared in a daze, disappearing in full view of everyone.

*Clang clang clang clang*... suddenly a series of explosions, sparks flying everywhere. Perkins seemed to have lost his earlier confidence, his eyes incomparably solemn. This was Depuya's ability upon entering the golden zone – invisibility, a power that only exceptionally gifted warriors could produce, like Malone's luminescence.

Perkins, who had been a little complacent that he had grasped Depuya's attack rhythm, suddenly fell into a completely passive state, losing track of his opponent, no different from a blind man. He no longer had his composure from before, desperately trying to get away, while the titanium dagger could take his life at any moment.

Perkins' teammates watched in stunned silence. After the awakening of the golden zone, the most common thing was actually the improvement of some basic levels such as speed, strength, and agility. Special abilities were still relatively rare, and an ability like invisibility was appearing for the first time.

Fortunately, this ability couldn't be brought onto the mecha yet, otherwise, it would be really terrifying.

Lu Donglei was a little surprised. Depuya's ability was definitely not a useless skill, but had great uses. With the combination of the golden zone and K23, the four major federations' super mecha and super warrior plans were underway, but they had not yet been announced to the public. This S11 also had major changes.

*Bang!* Although Perkins blocked the titanium knife, he was kicked away by Depuya. After taking a blow head-on, Perkins rolled and crawled to create distance, looking around with a face covered in dirt. Perkins' body contracted, like a frightened deer.

*Bang!*

*Bang bang bang!*

The titanium knives collided again violently, Depuya's figure appeared vaguely, but he didn't succeed in an attack. He immediately created distance, and soon his figure disappeared again. His ability would pause during the exchange of blows, but would recover when he disengaged from battle. This ability was simply too rogue-like; if he didn't succeed in one strike, he would immediately retreat, while his opponent had to be in a tense state at all times. Just the torment of this could make his opponent collapse.

The others were also watching seriously. In fact, experts like Asashoryu were still very calm, seemingly not interested in this ability.

Although Perkins in the arena looked a little unsightly, his expression returned to calm, and he didn't move around randomly. His ears twitched from time to time, and a hint of smugness appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, the weapon rack not far away fell to the ground, and Depuya rushed out from the side, but Perkins immediately and accurately blocked him with his dagger, and Depuya appeared.

Lu Donglei couldn't help but nod. The Six Dragons were indeed worthy of the name. Perkins' ears twitching was probably to deliberately confuse his opponent. He was actually relying on mental lock-on to judge his position, grasping Depuya's movement trajectory during the exchange of blows. When entering the golden zone, the eyes were the least reliable.

However, at this moment, another dagger was already stabbing towards Perkins' abdomen. Obviously, Depuya didn't underestimate Perkins. He had somehow obtained another dagger, without anyone noticing.

At this critical moment of life and death, Perkins' body actually shifted rapidly. Although he didn't completely dodge this strike, it didn't cause a fatal injury either. The dagger only pierced in a little. Depuya chased with all his might. For light mecha pilots, once they caught the prey's weakness, they would fight to the death. This was also their only chance.

Obviously, the unusually high-speed movement was Perkins' ability. After awakening the golden zone, he gained faster speed, but compared to invisibility, it seemed a little lacking.

But seeing Depuya's approach and falling into a desperate situation, Perkins didn't panic, and the red light in his pupils intensified, followed by a red light covering his whole body, and flames burning fiercely on his body, his aura violent.

Golden Zone Second Stage – Burning Will! *Boom!* One mental explosion blocked Depuya's offensive. Depuya gritted his teeth, stubbornly swallowing the blood that had reached his throat. Stopping at this time meant death.

But three consecutive mental explosions completely disrupted Depuya's offensive. Once he entered Burning Will, he was a level higher in terms of mental power. The next second, Perkins began to counterattack, a shattering sound, and his figure disappeared, followed by appearing next to Depuya. Depuya gritted his teeth and crashed directly into him, completely ignoring the attack, wanting to trade his life with Perkins.

But how could Perkins play such a desperate game with Depuya? The figure that Depuya pierced through was just an afterimage. *Pa pa pa pa*... accompanied by four explosions, four Perkins burning with red light instantly appeared, killing Depuya.

Phantom Dance, Four-Sided Kill! Depuya froze for a moment, directly rushing towards one in front of him. These afterimages were very realistic, but Depuya's mental perception told him that the one in front of him was the real one! *Tss*... the dagger stabbed into empty air. The next second, Depuya felt a heavy blow to his body. Without any reaction, his pupils contracted violently and then dilated, and he fell directly to the ground.

The whole place was silent. This was the might of the Six Dragons. Perkins' personality had also offended many people, but his strength was solid.

Perkins threw away the dagger, shook his hand smugly, and was about to say a few sarcastic words when his neck suddenly felt a chill. He felt a gaze and looked back to see Li Hao looking at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. In an instant, his whole body felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he felt uncomfortable. He was too familiar with this look. Ever since Li Hao's comeback, he would sometimes dream about it in his nightmares.

Perkins hurriedly lowered his head, coughed a few times, and awkwardly ended the scene. Before Asashoryu defeated Li Hao, he still had to keep a low profile.

The other members of the Karlve team roared wildly, because Perkins was recognized as a coward at the Near Earth Orbit Base. Along the way, the team members were ridiculed by strange eyes, saying that Karlve was no good, that Perkins was a hemorrhoid and not worthy of being one of the Six Dragons...

Perkins was not only one of the Six Dragons, but also their captain. It was too painful to hold back. They were one of the major teams. When had they ever suffered such humiliation? This time, they finally had a chance to hold their heads high.

Especially since he defeated Depuya, who was always spraying nonsense on EMP, this time he had finally shut up.

In the Mid-Season Cup, only strength could earn respect, and all stories and legends were bullshit.

Perkins rarely gloated after returning, but Luo Dongsheng and Cang Gongtian still expressed their congratulations. This battle had saved face, but of course, it had also exposed his strength: Burning Will + Extreme Speed Phantom Step.

Very strong, but there was a chance to defeat him.

Curtis also nodded rarely. No matter what, entering Burning Will made him worthy of the title of Six Dragons. Depuya's ability was a bit useless, good for one-on-one fights, but basically useless in mecha battles, and he hadn't even reached Burning Will, so he didn't know what he was pretending to be every day, spraying nonsense everywhere. This time, he was completely quiet.

The pressure on Tianjing was greater. If Orff's Knights of the Round Table couldn't beat the Dome, Tianjing would be directly eliminated. ... No, even if the Knights of the Round Table won, how would they fight North Carolina? Huo Ying and Zuo Xiaotang still had to go up, so what should they do? Would being directly eliminated be a relief?

This battle still made Lu Donglei a little satisfied. Depuya wasn't that weak, he was very close to Burning Will, and his ability was also very useful, but Perkins was stronger, and his preparation was more thorough. It could be seen that Perkins still had some strength to spare.

Although it couldn't be said that he could defeat NUP, the direction and path were right. The purpose of intensive training was to confirm the direction of training, allowing experts to collide continuously and break through bottlenecks, laying the foundation for the S-League.

At the same time, seeing the expressions of all the team members, this process of appreciating experts fighting was also a great experience for them.

"Second match, Knights of the Round Table team versus Dome Royal team."
