Chapter 406: Thunder Dragon Soul

On another battlefield, the combat had also entered a white-hot stage. The scene was stunned by the performance of God of War Maxis. Laika was gasping violently; he had already revealed his Thunder Dragon Soul, and having exhausted all one hundred and twenty-eight strikes of his Super Limit Free Style Thunder Blade, he still could not shake the War God Gaze. Maxis was truly like a prehistoric War God, without a single flaw. From his mindset to his strength, he was the kind of Warrior who made anyone who saw him feel incomparably confident. This was also the reason why, even after Fan Liweite had won the championship, he still could not shake Maxis's status.

At this moment, the entire battlefield had been blasted into ruins by Laika, and the whole space was surging with thunderous power.

"Laika, no need to hold back your strength," Maxis said indifferently.

Laika gave a bitter laugh, "I'm really not reconciled; such a good opportunity placed right before me."

Every top Apocalypse Warrior had a knot in their heart. They wanted to have a fair and square fight with Li Hao in a place like this; even if they lost, it would be a relief. They were only one step away from the final four.

"I will help you fulfill your wish!" Maxis said in a deep voice.

The entire arena was silent. No one knew what the two were saying; it seemed unrelated to the S Tournament, yet it also seemed related.

Laika laughed loudly, his Golden Zone shining with boundless radiance. Within the dark green light flames, rolling thunder was implied. A massive thunder dragon circled and rose into the sky, revealing its five claws. At this moment, a large number of visible power ripples suddenly appeared in the space, seemingly responding to the thunder dragon's roar, constantly condensing. Deadly thunder orbs hovered in mid-air.

Laika's Thunder Fire Mecha was already hovering in the air, his Thunder Blade pointing at Maxis, "Super Limit Free Style—Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation!"

Accompanied by the roar of the thunder dragon, countless thunder orbs followed the Thunder Fire Mecha's dive, condensing in an instant and striking together toward the War God Gaze.

Apocalypse Warriors, when in a desperate situation, all have a suicidal, desperate move. Having walked on the path of strength for so long, how Laika longed to fight Li Hao to verify his own path; in the entire Apocalypse, only Li Hao could do that.

That was how the Hunter grew back then, and now, a better opportunity was placed before him, only it no longer belonged to him.

Maxis's pupils had completely turned golden. Facing Laika's full-force strike, he dared not be arrogant. By defeating Laika, he could experience all of Laika's understanding of the Golden Zone.

Roar.

The Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon circled and rose into the sky, the great sword of the War God Gaze shining with boundless radiance.

Heavenly Heart Style—Rising Dragon Strike!

Pop.

Accompanied by a piercing ultrasonic sound, the entire battlefield suffered a violent explosion. The energy storm burst forth, rolling like the surface of the sea encountering a typhoon with towering waves.

When the light flames and energy subsided, the Thunder Fire Mecha was gone. On the battlefield, only the War God Gaze remained, burning with golden light flames. At this time, Maxis in the cockpit had hair that had turned completely golden.

Maxis, who had been tightly closing his eyes, revealed a look of aftertaste at the corners of his mouth. Opening his eyes to look, his gaze pierced through space as if it were tangible.

On the other side, an explosion occurred in Laika's operation room; Laika had lost consciousness.

Although the S Tournament had made very sufficient preparations, it still underestimated the qualitative change that the Golden Zone brought to a pilot's strength, especially the reaction between this power and the K23 God Element. This had already exceeded the understanding of scientists, and even exceeded the warriors' own understanding.

In this kind of battle gathering the Elites of the Solar System, in this kind of atmosphere, every Warrior was improving every day. Those gifted Warriors at the tip of the pyramid were even more greedily absorbing their understanding of the Golden Zone.

Maxis, Chao Qinglong, and Basta were all like this.

Aofei, Luo Bi, and others were all watching this match. There was no need to worry about the North Caro side; they knew the level of Chao Qinglong's strength well. Even at the level of the Mid-Season Tournament, it was not something Dita could overcome, let alone Chao Qinglong's improvement after the Mid-Season Tournament.

They wanted to see the level of Maxis's strength. It could only be said that, just from this match, the depth of Maxis's strength had completely surpassed Chao Qinglong's during the Mid-Season Tournament; it was unfathomable.

Previously, when pilots fought, they learned techniques and details, but by the time it reached Maxis, he was already absorbing his opponent's understanding of power. Aofei and Luo Bi could understand it, but they knew they couldn't do it themselves.

While they were progressing, these monsters had already leaped to another level.

The audience at the scene was anxious, hoping there wouldn't be a situation where both sides were injured, but the result was still Maxis's invincible domination. Maxis completely suppressed Laika.

Their War God had returned!

Accompanied by the enthusiastic cheers and boiling atmosphere at the scene, Maxis led the Galaxy Team to also forcefully enter the final four.

In fact, it could be considered the expectation of the masses. The Galaxy Team and the Beikarosai Team were originally top-tier, but it was unexpected that they would reach such a level; instead, they displayed a more terrifying ruling power than before. Before, it was probably just a warm-up level. At the same time, it also extinguished those regretful teams; many teams once felt that if they did a little better and had a little better luck, perhaps they could overturn them.

Actually, what they lacked was not just luck.

What was even more commendable was that both teams kept all their members in state, able to continue to exert their full strength in future battles and launch an assault on the championship.

In the tactical room, Xilian and the team members finished watching the two matches with ease. It could be seen that they also enjoyed it quite a bit.

"Dita was completely sending experience; her strength was insufficient, though her understanding was quite on point," Anlita laughed. "Releasing the matrix shows Dita is on the right track, but if the Soul was stronger, the power displayed would be far more than just this. 66, this little girl, was plain and unremarkable before, but she performed quite well in this competition."

"Just flashy, though Laika has some substance, what a pity," Klein said, happily eating a lollipop.

"Maxis is still very powerful. There aren't many people the boss thinks highly of, and he counts as one."

"I hope Basta can bring some surprises tomorrow. There are still quite a few flaws on the Tianjing side. As long as he isn't a hothead, there will be plenty of opportunities."

"Basta is different from Romero. Romero is too emotional, while Basta is very rational. I'm looking forward to it."

"Then let's finish quickly tomorrow. I hope Aihao is on the right track and doesn't waste our time."

Hailong really didn't take Aihao seriously.

The first day of the final four contention ended, and the viewership ratings had already far exceeded the previous session. Both the USE and NUP war zones held onto a seeded player. From the current look, if these two teams met in the semi-finals, both would have a chance; it would definitely be a fierce battle. Now it depended on the other two matches. The four teams in the other two matches were also very strong, but the teams all had various problems, and there were flaws that could be targeted.

Wuzang and the others came back and re-watched the match between the Galaxy Team and Carmela. It really made everyone's scalp tingle. They knew they had already fallen behind, and by a large margin. The team members of these two teams had all reached the Flowing Heart Martial Arts level. As for Mecha technology, they were all time-tested, and their use and integration of abilities were even more proficient. Just look at this crushing momentum to know; they were looking for confrontation and state, not for what was behind.

In the post-match interview, the one from the Galaxy Team accepting the interview was Daya Mendoza. When asked about the opponent he most wanted to face, Mendoza gave Cheng Konghai's Iron Armor Steel Fist.

Everyone looked at Cheng Konghai, who shrugged indifferently.

Wuzang and the others were truly envious; if only they had such confidence. But now there was no time to think about this; tomorrow was the life-and-death battle with the Fire God Team. They couldn't count on Li Hao for mobilization. The Class Monitor still gave a speech full of fighting spirit, but even Ma Long felt that the Class Monitor was a bit weak.

There was no special training that night; ending early and relaxing was the best preparation.

Li Hao was dragged by Zuo Xiaotang to play games; this was Zuo Xiaotang's way of relaxing. Whether he was nervous, heartbroken, or bored, it was the best way. Of course, Li Hao was a bit miserable. In life, Zuo Xiaotang had never won in love, but in games, Zuo Xiaotang had never lost. A noob like Li Hao, he could handle with one hand. After being abused for more than twenty rounds, Li Hao threw away the controller. He hated playing games the most; let Zuoge fend for himself.

"Don't go, ah, play two more rounds," Zuo Xiaotang still wasn't satisfied.

Bang.

The door was closed. Li Hao left very decisively, not even turning his head.

Zuo Xiaotang lay on the bed, his mind full of the battle videos of Walan and Guma. He did a hypothetical confrontation. The burden given by the Class Monitor was a bit heavy; he was almost suffocated. Walan's Centaur operation was much stronger than what he had encountered before, and the opponent's Great Annihilation was too big a threat to him. It was very likely to interfere with his Instant Movement. This was his trump card. Even if it couldn't interfere, he currently couldn't master the direction and distance at all. Without the effect of surprise, in this kind of high-level battle, they were all flaws.

Guma, before, was all standard Sniper performance, but everyone knew this wasn't because he didn't want to perform, but because the opponent didn't give him a chance to perform. Zuo Xiaotang himself was transparent, but regarding Guma, his understanding was not much, only that the Flowing Heart Martial Arts realm was definitely crushing him by a street. As for what breakthrough to Flowing Heart Martial Arts,... Zuo Xiaotang didn't even dare to think about it.

But he was also afraid of failing everyone's expectations. Zuo Xiaotang was both conflicted and anxious, and started counting sheep.

One sheep, two sheep, three Anlita, four sheep, five.

The focus battle of the final four appeared. The biggest dark horse of this tournament, and also the biggest internet celebrity team, Tianjing Mecha, was about to face the former Solar System champion, Mars's strongest team, the Fire God Team. At the same time, this was also the last team from the Mars War Zone in this S Tournament. For the last seedling of the Martians who aimed to win the championship, this was definitely the hottest match.

The live broadcast of the match had already started at six o'clock. The streamers from various war zones appeared one after another. If one only looked at the team names, one hundred percent would think the Fire God was already stable. But Tianjing Mecha had already defeated two super strong teams in a row, especially sweeping the defending champion. Both sides had a chance in this battle.
