Chapter 374: Have You Ever Risked Your Life for Someone?

Golden Zone third-stage Flowing Heart Martial Arts, yet no one felt anything special about it. At this level, this is basic; ordinary fire abilities are not worth looking at. Different levels have different requirements.

"It seems the Mad Lion only has the 'mad' left; everything else is gone."

"Golden Zone depends on talent; the higher the talent, the higher the ceiling. Actually, in the last tournament, it was already clear he was an emotional Warrior. To put it bluntly, he has enough courage but lacks talent. Of course, I am comparing him to the top tier. He is going to be eliminated; Maxis is the true king."

"He is comparable to an ordinary member of a top-tier team; facing the War God, he is simply not worth looking at."

The entire venue was buzzing with discussion, and the live stream chat was speechless. After all that fuss, he just wanted to show off in front of Maxis? Did he leave his brain behind?

Accompanied by the stage of Flowing Heart Martial Arts, a gale rose.

The noisy discussions stopped, and the live stream went quiet all of a sudden. A second ability?

Wind and fire dual abilities?

Maxis remained expressionless. An extra gale didn't provide much actual improvement. He didn't have that understanding where it was already integrated into attacks like Wuzang; Wuzang is a Wind Body, while this kind of superficial display is at most a gimmick...

Robbie did not attack immediately. The gale was constantly compressing and rolling together with the flames, spinning and tumbling continuously. The Red Flame gradually changed, and blue light gradually emerged from the flames, with sizzling sounds coming from the surroundings.

The K23 Overlord Spear was shrouded in blue flames. At this moment, Robbie's pupils contracted, the Armor Tiger Mecha's center of gravity sank, his right hand raised the Overlord Spear, and his left hand supported the spear.

Hum.

The blue flames boiled, and the surrounding air was steaming.

Maxis's expression became serious. The War God Gaze slowly gripped the Titan Heavy Sword with both hands. This had a bit of spirit to it.

"Wind and fire merging?" Wuzang watched with surging emotions. Everyone's Spirit is different, and their genetic expression is also different. Some top-tier contestants had already sensed it; the form in which an ability is expressed is, on one hand, talent, which is determined by genes, and on the other hand, a combination of desire and thought. What one desires most in their heart, what one fears most—all of this is closely related to the form of the ability.

Robbie is passionate and high-spirited, but the wind is ordinary, and the fire is also ordinary. The experts present could all see that it belonged to ordinary wind and fire, but he was actually able to use the wind to aid the fire's momentum, allowing the flames to advance. If it were in a pilot duel, the lethality of this kind of flame would definitely be different, but in a Mecha battle, even though it was conducted through the K23 God Element, the firepower was stronger... but it was useless.

Unless he could be freakish enough to ignite upon contact and melt upon grazing, but that is impossible. The energy simply cannot reach that level. By comparison, although Romero's flames were at an ordinary level, the melting effect was even stronger than this.

"It's just a superficial appearance. Every existence in this world is unique. Flowing Heart Martial Arts must follow the desires of the heart." Li Hao smiled slightly, "You can think about your heart."

"Then what about the Spirit Root?" Zhou Naiyi asked.

"Trust, reliance, essence. Once you figure those out, you have it. Simply put, reaching Flowing Heart Martial Arts provides the possibility of birthing a Spirit Root, not necessarily how high the Zone Value is. The Mecha's energy expression is limited; in fact, it will overflow to a large extent. Reasonable allocation is very important. Look, it's just—poof—you suddenly understand, you get it, and it comes. It's not that mysterious," Li Hao said.

"Hao Ge, don't say such nice-sounding things next time." Ma Laoshi felt miserable. When would he ever reach that? Not to mention it being a distant prospect, what kind of Spirit Root could his nurse ability give birth to? A uniformed little nurse?

It has to have silk stockings, otherwise, there is no soul.

White ones!

Boom.

The Armor Tiger Mecha moved out. The War God Gaze was still waiting motionlessly. The two sides were rapidly closing the distance. The blue flames looked very beautiful, but they didn't have the powerful momentum of the Red Flame from before. It was just that these pale blue flames looked a bit eerie, but the War God Mecha on the battlefield was on high alert.

The Overlord Spear struck. Maxis's great sword moved out and met it directly. Spear and sword crossed. Maxis, who had always been able to strike after the enemy but occupy an absolute advantage, had his expression change slightly. Accompanied by a muffled sound, the beautiful blue flames bloomed between the Titan Heavy Sword and the Overlord Spear. Immediately following, the War God Gaze was blasted away. The Mecha shook violently, and the heavy sword in Maxis's hand almost couldn't be held steady. The Armor Tiger Mecha had already used Flash Strike, giving Maxis no time to react. Robbie was waiting for this moment. The Overlord Spear roared as it struck. With no space to evade, he forced Maxis into a head-on clash, spear after spear. Every strike was accompanied by the explosion of blue flames, and the War God Mecha had to suffer the impact of violent explosions.

Robbie's ability is a derivative of fire—Blue Explosion.

Every strike was equivalent to the effect of Double Strength. At this moment, the Armor Tiger Mecha, which had been treated like a monkey, finally unleashed the momentum of an Overlord. An attack must have an effect to utilize one's technical and ability advantages. This sudden explosive ability was finally grasped. Even with Maxis's delicate technique and unparalleled all-around talent, he was caught off guard by this sudden attack. The Titanium Shield, which hadn't been used until now, was finally raised, but this change made Robbie's momentum even more vigorous. He is the type who becomes braver the more he fights. Facing the block of the Titanium Shield, he unleashed a ruthless triple-spear barrage. Three blue flame explosions almost sent the Titanium Shield flying, and at this moment, Robbie's Armor Tiger Mecha followed up with a lethal Dragon Kick!

Boom.

The War God Gaze soared into the air, but it wasn't knocked away; rather, it used the force to take flight. The Sky Wing System activated, the Mecha spread its wings and hovered directly in the air. With a roar, the Armor Tiger soared into the air, engines roaring, the suspension system activated, enough to impact for a distance.

In mid-air, the War God Mecha and the Armor Tiger Mecha collided violently, blue flames exploding. In the end, the Armor Tiger Mecha was beaten back to the ground, while the War God Gaze in the air always maintained a stable hover.

It is very despairing; this is what Maxis can do, and others cannot. In a high-intensity confrontation in the air, a pilot simply cannot stabilize the wing system. Once they lose their center of gravity and are shot down, a miserable end is guaranteed. But Maxis can; he possesses unparalleled control and an unbelievable grasp of balance, and he will never lose his balance.

Just from this move, he has actually formed a performance dominance over other Mechas. Unless his own body has a problem, otherwise, it's just a matter of being beaten. It was even so powerful that after S9 ended, many contestants demanded that the War God Gaze be banned, or that a wing system that everyone could use be developed, or that this "immature" Mecha be abolished.

However, like the Armor Leopard, this request was ignored.

The War God Gaze landed, the great sword raised again, looking at Robbie with some surprise, "There is really progress. Now it's my turn to attack!"

Boom.

The War God Mecha disappeared from where it stood. This is Maxis's signature Inch Slash!

This is a killing move that uses Flash Strike and attack techniques to the extreme, almost like teleportation. Clang.

The Overlord Spear blocked. The attacked Overlord Spear bloomed with blue flames again, with the same explosive effect, but the surprise this time was that it didn't make the Titan Heavy Sword shake. His body sank. Before Robbie could react, another sword slashed down.

Boom.

The Armor Tiger Mecha was slashed down again. Robbie knew it was bad. He didn't expect that after just one round, Maxis would have completely adapted to his flame explosion. He manipulated the Mecha, attempting to break free from this suppressed state, but his brain thought of it, yet the operation hadn't arrived, and the third sword had already arrived.

Boom.

The Armor Tiger Mecha was pinned down firmly. Robbie, with his eyes blood-red, gritted his teeth hard, "Hold on, hold on, hold on!" Roar.

Suddenly the great sword lightened. Boom. The Armor Tiger Mecha was kicked away. Thwack. The War God Mecha followed like a shadow, following up with an incredibly fluid kick. The Armor Tiger Mecha flew out more than ten meters and rolled into the Giant Fern Forest, with a series of rolling and booming sounds.

"Robbie, you can't maintain it for much longer. If it's only like this, it's over," Maxis said indifferently. There were some little tricks, but it was still not worth looking at, and the realm of Flowing Heart Martial Arts was relatively poor. Under these conditions of use, he could probably maintain it for a few minutes at most. He had expected too much.

Clang.

The Armor Tiger Mecha jumped out directly, landing heavily on the ground. Robbie's Golden Zone soared again, baring his teeth with a distorted smile. It was so damn strong! He thought he could give everyone a surprise, but the gap turned out to be this big. This was his final battle; how could it end in such a muddled way!

The Armor Tiger charged. Mad Lion Robbie had never known what it meant to be a coward. Maxis frowned. Is he so reckless? Being defeated is actually nothing, but if he keeps overdrawing his Flowing Heart Martial Arts, that will lead to serious injury. From the state Robbie was releasing, he could clearly judge Robbie's rank.

Immediately following, the Armor Tiger was knocked flying. No matter from which angle the Armor Tiger attacked, or what force it used, the second-stage explosion of the blue fire was easily received by Maxis. This technique of Double Strength could defeat 99.9% of Warriors, but Robbie was facing Maxis, a Warrior at the tip of the pyramid. Such a technique was not enough.

"He is completely not a contestant of the same level. Actually, at this time, Robbie could concede."

"The use of the Golden Zone has a taboo against infinite overdraft. This is not physical recovery; sometimes it will cause fatal sequelae."

"Must admit, Robbie still has some grit, just like us Martians, but he met the wrong opponent."

The moment the Golden Zone appeared, it attracted everyone's attention, but the drawbacks of the Golden Zone were soon discovered. Simply put, it is a type of energy produced by consuming the Spirit or soul, a power that technology cannot yet fully analyze. It has a considerable time limit. When physical strength is exhausted, cells will gradually repair, but soul overdraft is currently unknown how to handle; one can only leave it to fate. Therefore, Warriors must be extra careful when using it; if it goes wrong, they could ruin their whole life.

Romero was alone in his room watching the match. Worse than being complained about or insulted is being forgotten. It seemed that overnight, who Romero was no longer mattered. He knew what Robbie wanted to do, just as he had done. A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Romero's mouth. Regret does not exist; Romero would never regret. He did it for himself, but had Robbie thought it through?

"Even if you pay the price, you will still be forgotten."

When Robbie was heavily struck back for the sixth time, a mouthful of blood could finally no longer be suppressed and gushed out, staining the Cockpit red. Now it was no longer the Golden Zone; his physical body was gradually unable to withstand the high-intensity confrontation. Robbie's tongue had already been bitten through; he wanted to keep his brain clear and his hands and feet flexible, but damn it, he really was a piece of trash. How could it be like this? Maxis hadn't even brought out any of his real skills.

Screw it.

Roar.

With the soaring of Mental Power, the hurricane rose again, and the blue flames steamed continuously. If the power isn't enough, then strengthen it! Continue, need to be stronger, stronger, deep blue... a deeper blue!

The pale blue flames began to deepen, the gale rolled up the blue flames, tumbling continuously. The light and flame were deepening bit by bit, and blue electricity began to appear around the Overlord Spear.

Everyone watched the berserk Luo Bi, along with his hysterical roaring.

Not enough! Not enough! Not enough!

Blood began to seep from Luo Bi's nose, eyes, and ears, but he did not care at all; born for battle, dying for battle, not enough, not enough, not enough!

He was very clear about what his opponent was like; the rolling blue flames did not cause any change in his opponent, and this kind of simple enhancement was merely a slight increase in numerical values; being brave and reckless was completely useless.

He needed stronger power!

Luo Bi's expression gradually tore apart, filled with madness and determination: "The Hunter must win!"

Roar— Boom.

Blue flames soared into the sky, and the light image of a massive blue flame lion began to appear.

Flowing Heart Martial Arts—Flame Lion Soul Essence!

At this moment, cracks appeared on Luo Bi's forehead, his pupils turned a deep blue, and the Flowing Heart Martial Soul Essence finally stabilized.

Maxis gripped his heavy sword with both hands, his expression turning grave as he raised it high; the red on the surface of War God Gaze turned into gold in an instant, brilliant and radiant; at this moment, the War God had descended; this was Maxis's true zone state, and what came before was likely just a warm-up, no different from Li Hao, not reaching the true level, and not worthy of being witnessed.

Facing the pressure of the Flame Lion Soul Essence before him, if he were not careful, he would capsize in the gutter.

For Luo Bi, the world had disappeared, and only that isolated War God Gaze remained before his eyes.

Stacked Vibration Force—Flame Lion Heart Piercing Spear!

Heavenly Heart Style—Open Heaven One Heart Slash!

The soaring blue flames and the golden light slammed into each other; in an instant, the rolling blue flames were as deafening as thunder from the nine heavens, and the intense light burst forth together.

The two Mobile Suits crossed paths, and the Armor Tiger Mobile Suit, charging with full force, rushed out more than ten meters, its steps becoming unsteady; seeing it was about to fall, the Tyrant Spear was slammed into the ground.

Pop.

The K23 Titanium Overlord Spear shattered, and on the other side, Maxis's heavy sword had already returned to its sheath; inside the Cockpit, Maxis's expression twisted for a moment before returning to calm; this spear was somewhat interesting, but unfortunately, it was not yet mature enough.

Luo Bi gasped for air, his eyes unable to see, everything pitch black; he did not want to fall, but his body no longer obeyed him; in the end, he still could not win.

"Second Brother, I... did my best."

Luo Bi lost consciousness, and with a sharp sound of emergency sirens, the medical staff had entered.
