Tita left with the Tianxing Mecha team the next morning. Everyone came to see her off, except for Li Hao who was sleeping. He sent a symbolic message instead, which caused some dissatisfaction among the Tianxing Mecha team members. However, they didn't complain too much. After spending so much time together, they were well aware of their captain's quirks and his lack of social graces.
With the departure of the Tianxing Mecha team, everyone realized that the American Lions and the Round Table Knights would also be leaving soon. The mid-season competition didn't pose much pressure for them, but it was still related to their academy's ranking and honor. Their real competitors were never the Tianjing Mecha team.

Compared to the overflowing confidence of the American Lions and the Round Table Knights, the Tianjing team gradually felt the pressure. Their confidence came from their strength, but after encountering top-tier power, they realized their shortcomings. Fortunately, they still had time, and this period had indeed opened up a new world for them. Everyone was fully committed and improving every day.
Three days later, Robbie led the American Lions to leave. The Round Table Knights, who arrived first, stayed until the end. Li Hao finally showed up. He had been seen occasionally before, always looking exhausted and sleep-deprived. Now, he seemed to be back to normal, ready to deliver pizzas again.
Offee and Li Hao were in the combat room next door, which had been destroyed by Robbie not long ago but was now repaired. The efficiency was extremely high, and the principal was very supportive. Clearly, Offee had been waiting for Li Hao, and for the others to leave. She was the strongest among them.
"What's the situation now?" Li Hao asked, as if he was an outsider.
"Zhou Naiyi is very strong, with even greater potential. Wu Zang and Ma Long are on the right track. Zuo Xiaotang and Huo Ying still need to improve. Big Brother, I have to go back tomorrow. The next time we meet will be at the mid-season competition." Offee said with a slight smile.
"Speak properly," Li Hao shook his head helplessly. He was fed up with their dramatic farewells. The mid-season competition was just a competition, the participation was what mattered.
Offee nodded with a smile. "Let's have a proper match."
What Offee was referring to was not a mecha battle. A mecha couldn't fully express a person's realm, especially at her level. She needed to improve her realm. She had been contemplating the Burning Will, the second stage of the Golden Zone, for quite some time and needed to take a step further.
Robbie had mentioned the half-step realm, which should be the third stage of the Golden Zone - Flowing Heart Martial.
She had already touched the threshold but dared not enter casually. She wanted to find the best opportunity to gain the strongest power. Only in this way could she face the upcoming S1l.
"Alright, but try not to destroy public property," Li Hao said.
Offee smiled slightly. Big Brother had learned to joke, a stark contrast to his previous reticence.
Whoosh…
Offee's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and her aura enveloped the entire training field. She stood still, and the next second, a red light spread, covering her whole body.
Boom…
A red, fluctuating energy rippled across Offee's body. Golden Zone - Burning Will.
Her control was incredibly proficient. Offee held out her right hand, and her body's energy began to boil rapidly. The terrifying power kept rising. Crack… Pop…
The ground under Offee's feet exploded. Li Hao's eyebrows twitched, and in that instant, Offee disappeared, followed by a bang.
Offee had already appeared in front of Li Hao. Her fair hand, like a knife, slashed out. Li Hao retreated, but in the next second, Offee's two-stage rush kick was already aimed at his face. Li Hao blocked it.
Boom…
Pop pop pop pop pop pop…
Offee's straight legs, which could be described as artistic, launched a deadly sweep. Li Hao defended while retreating, but this only made Offee's attack more vigorous. A sudden half-spin kick, Li Hao leaned back, but Offee's move was a feint. The moment her body landed, she supported herself with one hand, her body stretched infinitely. With a sound of breaking through the air, she kicked out with a spinning leg, red light bursting out.
- Capoeira Super Kick!
The essence of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a super fighting technique of human body mechanics, coupled with the explosion of Burning Will, Li Hao didn't resist and jumped up. But he was a bit slow, and his clothes in front of him burst open, a blood mark exploded on his chest. Offee kicked into the air, but the wall not far away collapsed with a bang. Offee had already appeared behind Li Hao, punching out.
Whoosh…
Li Hao's figure disappeared, and Offee followed closely. With the explosion of the ground, the figures of the two kept flashing, colliding continuously. Every punch and kick was deadly, all aimed at vital points. It seemed that this training field was going to be destroyed again, and the damage was even worse than last time.
Li Hao's eyes were twitching. Pop…
He caught Offee's punch with a backhand and pushed Offee away. Offee used the force to fly back, her legs bounced off the wall fiercely.
Boom…
She shot towards Li Hao like an arrow off the string. Li Hao's eyes swept over the cracks in the wall, and his teeth began to ache.
The distance between the two was less than two meters. Offee, who was in mid-air, suddenly flipped over and launched a high-pressure whip kick.
Li Hao wanted to dodge, but he couldn't let it go any further. If he did, who would pay for the repair?
Boom…
He took Offee's whip kick hard. Offee's attacks were continuous, heavy, and more flexible. Following a wrap-around, she moved her legs up, trying to give Li Hao a naked choke.
But Offee, who was about to exert force, suddenly stiffened. She couldn't move, and the power of Burning Will was completely still. The red light slowly faded, followed by the red eyes.
Li Hao slowly took Offee down, "That's enough. You're much better than Robbie."
Offee was speechless, her eyes wide open. She looked at Li Hao incredulously. He had somehow dissolved her Burning Will... It was unheard of.This completely defied common sense!
Li Hao looked around, his eyes glowing green. Thankfully, the glass hadn't shattered. Every bit of damage control counted.
"Big Brother, this doesn't count. Let's start over!" Offee's magnetic voice was a bit low, but the arrow was already on the string and had to be released. "I need to reach the stage of 'Flowing Heart Martial Arts'. Just 'Burning Will' is not enough to win!"
"What are you talking about?" Li Hao touched his nose.
"When 'Burning Will' reaches its peak, a genetic regression occurs in the human body, revealing the power hidden within the genetic lock, gaining a strength beyond imagination. We call it 'Flowing Heart Martial Arts'. Big Brother, you must have reached it!"
Li Hao's eyes widened, blinking in surprise.
"Ah, I can't do that. Are you talking about Robbie's situation? You two are different. He's a blockhead, this situation doesn't suit you." Li Hao carefully assessed the damage, starting to calculate in his mind.
Offee also fell into deep thought. Clearly, what Li Hao said was right, but Tita and Robbie had left satisfied. With her competitive nature, she wouldn't admit defeat easily.
"Big Brother, let me witness your power so I have a reference for when I return."
"Ah, is that really a good idea?" Li Hao was taken aback.
"Big Brother, we've been through life and death together!" Offee looked at Li Hao in surprise.
Li Hao quickly waved his hands, "That's not what I meant. You can't handle it right now, I'm worried you'll get hurt."
"Big Brother, I know you're strong, but I'm not that fragile. I don't believe I'll get hurt just by watching!" Offee said very seriously and firmly.
Li Hao was helpless. Why wouldn't she listen to advice? "Well, I can't control it very well yet. Remember, don't try to touch it, just watch from a distance."
Offee nodded vigorously. She wasn't arrogant, but she wouldn't belittle herself either.
Meanwhile, in the other training room, there wasn't much enthusiasm left. The Star and the American Lion had left, and they were leaving tomorrow too. Training was off the table, but they had enjoyed their time here. For the Knights of the Round Table, it was like a vacation. They knew their captain was helping Tianjing, and as for their own gains, they could say they had some.
Greg and the others were waiting, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Chen Ang and Mo Yu were restless like two monkeys, wanting to sneak a peek but not daring to. Others didn't know what was going on, but these two were well aware. Tita and Robbie had definitely achieved their goals, leaving only their captain. Without a doubt, the captain was the strongest among them, but that also meant the highest difficulty. Back in the days of the Apocalypse, the captain was also a major force among the hunters. The thought of a peak showdown made their hearts itch.
With a terrifying aura flashing by, followed by a loud explosion, Greg and the others couldn't help but want to go over. However, Chen Ang and Mo Yu stopped them.
"Senior Brother, the captain said not to disturb him." Chen Ang held out his hand.
"What nonsense, what if something happens?!" Greg was a bit angry.
"Senior Brother, don't worry. With Brother Li here, the sky won't fall. Besides, the captain strictly warned us." Mo Yu also quickly dissuaded him.
"Senior Brother Greg, since Captain Offee has already said so, let's wait." Zhou Naiyi also said. Her relationship with Offee had made great strides during this time.
