Robbie had just finished a treatment session, feeling that Tianjing was making a fuss over nothing. However, early recovery was a good thing. Li Hao's approach was quite measured, taking into account Robbie's physical condition. His "miserable state" was merely a reaction to pushing his body to its limits, it was just scary on the outside.
At this moment, Offee was sitting across from Robbie, watching him eat and drink heartily, not looking like a patient at all.
"I thought you were beaten to death." Offee estimated Robbie's progress this time.
"Offee, we're old friends, why bother!" Robbie laughed, he was in a great mood and didn't mind at all.
"How do you feel, to what extent has the second brother recovered?" Offee asked. The entire mid-season competition was undercurrents. Whether it was past matters or maintaining his own king's position, Chao Qinglong would not sit idly by.
Robbie shook his head with a bitter smile, "Don't mention it, I can't feel anything. He should have had no systematic training opportunities in these five years, but why do I feel that he is even more unfathomable than before."
"Have you reached the Burning Will?" Offee nodded, looking at Robbie's unhidden pride. It was clear that he had achieved what he wanted. Having the Burning Will would make a big difference in this mid-season competition.
"Offee, who are you looking down on? Is the mere Burning Will enough?" Robbie glanced at Offee with a smirk, his complacency was evident.
Offee didn't speak, just looked at Robbie calmly.
"You're really boring, making me talk alone. I touched the threshold of the third stage a bit, but my body couldn't hold on, what a pity."
"No need to pity, in your situation, if it wasn't for the second brother, I would be preparing a wreath for you now." Offee said, "You haven't even consolidated the Burning Will, your realization of the third stage is very rough. The realm is not about speed, but stability, understand, control the power, the second brother should not even use the Red Pupil."
Robbie was speechless, Offee was still fierce, he must have reached the third stage, he could only scratch his head awkwardly, "When are you planning?"
"Wait until the end of the training, at this stage, it's still helping the second brother to comb through the people. These people have quite good foundations, let's see to what extent they can transform." Offee said.
"Then pick one, let's each find one, and see whose is more fierce." Robbie said, he liked challenges and always wanted to find confrontation.

"Zhou Naiyi."
"You're clearly letting me, then I have to choose Wu Zang, don't say I'm bullying you later!"
"Hehe."
"If you have something to say, just say it, your look always makes me feel like you're questioning my intelligence!"
"Be confident, remove the 'feel'!" Offee said, "Does Wu Zang still need you? The Wu family has its own set, Ma Long, Huo Ying, choose one."
Robbie had a headache. From the day he met him, he felt that talking to Offee was very hurtful. Brick and stone? Can these two wastes be saved?
"I choose Ma Long, at least his looks meet my requirements."
"Okay, you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, don't get in the way here."
"Sister, I just got seriously injured, bone recovery takes time, if it forms a hidden injury, it's not good, are you going to be responsible for me?" Robbie said with a mournful face.
"Is that so? I see you chatting very happily with the little nurse, you're lost in joy, do you understand what Burning Will means?"
"Okay, okay, you're big, you're powerful, I'll leave tomorrow."
Of course, being discharged from the hospital doesn't mean he can fight, but it's not good to lie down all the time. Even if Offee didn't say it, he wanted to go out for a walk.
A new day began, the campus of Tianjing Mech Warfare was still so beautiful, everyone was full of vitality, and the team training ground was filled with humming and huffing sounds early in the morning.
Although Robbie was still bandaged, he had already appeared on the training field, which also made the members of the American Lion team full of energy. The field was full of Robbie's supervising shouts, "Three men, did you have a good time yesterday, how many times, so soft!"
"All of you, cheer up, put your strength into it, Lylesis, I'm almost falling asleep, let me hear a sound!"
The members of the Round Table Knights and the Star Team were also doing basic training. Offee's battle yesterday really brought about a big change. It is said that all the Mars players in the entire EMP have become much more polite, as if they have grown up overnight.
Tita suddenly became much quieter and more serious. She also understood why Offee said she knew nothing. Everything made sense. Li Hao was NUP's biggest potential opponent, but this opponent had a huge weakness, which was his teammates.
And such teammates, once they enter the high rounds, will be targeted to death. At that time, Li Hao may not even have the chance to turn the tide.
Her mood was a bit conflicted.
Li Hao... was still asleep.
At the Tianjing Mecha Academy, Zhou Naiyi was leading the team in training. After a night's absence, Zhou Naiyi seemed to have transformed into a different person. The old Zhou Naiyi was calm and steady, but he always seemed to lack a certain aura, especially when compared to Offee and Tita, he was practically invisible. But now, Zhou Naiyi exuded a unique charisma that was impossible to ignore, and his words and actions were filled with an unprecedented confidence.
"Wu Zang, don't you think Naiyi seems different? He seems even more handsome, and he's practically glowing. What's going on?" Ma Long whispered.
Wu Zang glanced at him, "Golden Zone."
"What?" Ma Long's mouth fell open, "Why didn't you share such good news with everyone?"
"What's there to say?" Wu Zang looked at Ma Long strangely. Among the team members here, there weren't many who hadn't awakened yet. It was just a state of being. He gestured towards the other side.
Zuo Xiaotang had gotten up, which was a slight improvement over Li Hao. However, he was physically present but mentally absent, and the news of Zhou Naiyi awakening the Golden Zone didn't elicit much reaction from him.
Unable to bear it any longer, Wu Zang hoisted Zuo Xiaotang up. Ma Long quickly stepped in to stop him, "What are you doing? Put him down, let Zuo take it easy."
Wu Zang looked at the dazed Zuo Xiaotang, "I don't understand emotions very well, but isn't it normal to not find your other half? We haven't even become our ideal selves yet. With the mid-season competition approaching, look around at these people who are stronger and better than us. What right do we have to wallow in self-pity here?"
Zuo Xiaotang's hazy eyes instinctively scanned the surroundings. The top three teams were all training hard, even Robbie, who had just been injured, had come with a crutch.
He didn't blame Lu Ying, his mind was just a mess, he couldn't articulate his thoughts. But Wu Zang was right, what did he look like now?
Instead of overthinking, he should do what he could. Not to prove anything, not for any particular reason, but to become a better version of himself.
Zuo Xiaotang's troubled expression gradually relaxed, "Put me down quickly, don't I have any dignity? Guys, I've made it through!"
"Really?"
"Really, really, put me down quickly!"
Ma Long couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Impressive, Master Wu is truly a master. I thought about it all night and couldn't come up with such a profound conclusion."
Now it was Wu Zang's turn to be embarrassed, he had already forgotten what he had just said.
"Ma Long, Robbie seems to be calling you." Zuo Xiaotang pointed in the distance.
"Alright, Wu Zang, take care of Zuo. I'll go over there first. With Hao not here, I have to shoulder the responsibility of leading the team. Ah, a genius is never overlooked wherever he goes."
Ma Long left cheerfully. After all, Robbie was one of the Six Dragons. In the past, he would have had to queue up just for a group photo... Should he post this on his social media?
Zuo Xiaotang glanced at the transparent glass next door. That was the strategy room. Lu Ying hadn't come, but Zuo Xiaotang had let go. A heartfelt word could truly be liberating. Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao were talking about something. It seemed that Lu Lingxiao had noticed his gaze. Their eyes met, and Lu Lingxiao gave a slight smile. It seemed that Tan Ziyuan was teasing her about something. Zuo Xiaotang quickly averted his gaze. It was time to start training. What was his ideal self?
Zuo Xiaotang didn't really know, but the only successful thing he had done in his life was to become a useful sniper for the team, and to be with everyone.
Back in the dormitory, Li Hao was... physically present but mentally absent.
Under Ma Long's guidance, Li Hao felt enlightened. Regardless of what Ayouyou thought now, he should find the Heart of the Ocean. This was his intention. As Ma Long had said, stop daydreaming about how things could be and take action.
He had spent the entire night wandering around the Giant Insect's nest, and his understanding of the Giant Insect's structure was deeper than anyone else's. These silicon-based life forms had incredible resistance and adaptability. They could withstand high and low temperatures and survive in other extreme environments. Their internal structure was biological, but their overall composition was a very intricate circuit pattern. Their brains were very small, and Li Hao suspected that their main function was to receive information from higher levels.
Generally, oxygen was quite harmful to silicon-based life forms, which made Kepler a peculiar place. The bodies of the Giant Insects had a natural oxygen-blocking function, and they would only start to crystallize when attacked by oxygen after death. The crystallized Giant Insects then became part of Kepler, which was quite environmentally friendly from a certain perspective.Li Hao now controlled a high-level Giant Insect, which took him quite some time. Killing a high-level Giant Insect was easier, but controlling it unscathed was extremely difficult, which exhausted Li Hao. He was still too unfamiliar with the vast Kepler, and he didn't know when he would find what he was looking for if he kept searching blindly. He wanted to try the Giant Insect's own route, as low-level Giant Insects probably couldn't reach the Heart of the Ocean.
This was a dangerous species that the military had not yet announced. Kevin had secretly accessed the files on this, and it was referred to as the B-series lethal Giant Insect - Venom.
It was somewhat like a giant centipede, over ten meters long and four meters wide, with numerous compound eyes on its sides, providing a 360-degree field of vision. It had a large pair of mandibles, but they were not primarily used for attack. Compared to the regular combat power of the Giant Insects, these mandibles were quite weak. Its ability was to spray a type of poisonous fog. Once a mecha was contaminated, it would spread like an active virus, manifesting as a powerful corrosive force, severely damaging the mecha.
