Dominating Evolution Of The Cosmos 230 Lucky

Lawrence suddenly had an outburst and pushed Steve down. As the audience looked on, Steve could be seen pa.s.sively defending himself, while being beaten by Lawrence. It seemed that he would not be able to withstand the beating for long!
Seeing this scene, everyone in the crowd shouted excitedly...
"Good!"
"Lawrence, good job! Defeat Steve!"
"Lawrence, you're going to win! Come on! Use all of your strength to defeat him!"
"Come on!"
...
When the crowd saw Lawrence's arm being cut off by Steve, they already started to mourn. It was if, at that moment, all hope was lost. If Lawrence lost this battle, many of them would lose all the money that they had bet!
But then, Lawrence suddenly fought back and managed to suppress Steve, which once again made everyone hopeful. After all, if Lawrence won, they would win big! In fact, most of the soldiers had betted on Lawrence to win, while some did not partic.i.p.ate in the betting at all, and still fewer supported Steve.
"Oh no! Will our darling lose the battle?" Lucy turned pale.
One billion in original gold and 15,000 contribution points! Just the thought of their bet made Lucy nervous.
"Steve won't lose so easily. Have you not noticed that he has endured Lawrence's crazy attack all this while? He has not fallen yet!" Sofia a.n.a.lyzed the situation calmly.
After hearing what Sofia said, Vivien and Lucy agreed that, since Steve had not been defeated under such a crazy attack yet, it indicated that he still stood a chance of winning. As long as he did not fall, there was hope!
"May the G.o.ddess of luck be with Steve and bless him to win!" Vivien made a prayerful gesture as she spoke.
In the arena, Lawrence's attack became even more fierce and haphazard. The more he failed to defeat Steve, the more impatient he became. However, Steve did not fall.
"I don't believe that you can hang on for much longer!" Lawrence roared angrily, while he attacked Steve furiously.
At this point, a transparent energy was covering Steve's body, blocking all of Lawrence's attacks. Apparently, Steve had activated the Blessed Ring of Earth! This Blessed Ring of Earth not only protected Steve from attacks, but it could also rebound all harmful offenses!
However, at this moment, Steve did not bounce back all of Lawrence's attacks. Instead, he began acc.u.mulating the power to rebound. The more power the Blessed Ring of Earth acc.u.mulated, the stronger the rebound would be once Steve activated it!
"Blood-Burning Manic Change has a time limit for its usage. Once the time is up, your time will be up too." Steve crossed his hands in front of his chest, clearly mocking Lawrence.
Lawrence knew about the time limit for the Blood-Burning Manic Change. Once the time limit was reached, it would backfire!
Hence, he knew that he had to defeat Steve quickly, as the longer he dragged this out, the weaker he would become. Moreover, with Steve completely suppressed by him at the moment, which caused his defense to be vulnerable, Lawrence thought of these things and made a crazy decision...

He yelled, "Phase II of Blood-Burning Manic Change!"
Within the same breath, his viscera and tissues started to burn madly, while his huge body grew slowly. His muscles began to swell and his strength gradually increased. In each stage of the Blood-Burning Manic Change, Lawrence boosted his power by 3%, so in the second stage, Lawrence boosted the power to 6%.
Boom…
Suddenly, one of his legs doubled in size, followed by the other leg, arms, and other parts of his body, all of which adhered to that same pattern. Seeing that Lawrence had activated the second stage of the Blood-Burning Manic Change, the crowd cheered once again.
"The second stage of the Blood-Burning Manic Change! Lawrence is doing his best!"
"Good! The first stage was able to completely suppress Steve, so the second stage will certainly defeat him!"
"I used all of my wealth to bet on you to win, Lawrence, so you must win!"
"Lawrence! Lawrence!"
...
More than eighty percent of the crowd was shouting Lawrence's name. Many of the soldiers, all of who, had paid a lot of money to bet on Lawrence's victory, were shouting the most frantically of the bunch!
At this time, Lawrence's strength was growing. In fact, it now exceeded 410 points! His body, including his legs, hands, and chest had already doubled in size! Once his skull expanded, his strength would rise by another 3%!
At this moment, Steve felt the Star of Hope on his chest suddenly heat up. Steve's eyes felt as if they had just been p.r.i.c.ked by two needles! As it was extremely painful, Steve could not help but close his eyes, then open them again.
At that moment, an invisible airflow flew out of Steve's mouth and went straight into Lawrence's skull before flowing throughout Lawrence's whole body. It was then that Steve suddenly remembered Vivien's "lucky kiss" from earlier!
The stinging pain lasted only for a moment, about two quick blinks. As Steve closed his eyes again and opened them again, he found that his lips were the same as before. Lawrence also looked the same.
It was as if he had hallucinated the entire scene involving the airflow and the Star of Hope's heating up! Steve was unsure if he had actually seen the airflow, or if it was really just an illusion!
As Steve was still pondering this, Lawrence's eyes suddenly turned red. At the same time, one of his ears doubled in size, while the other ear remained unchanged.
"Ah ah ah..." Lawrence suddenly held his head and screamed. At that moment, the surge of power within his body ceased. It appeared that even that powerful airflow was weakening!
"This is not good! Lawrence's second step has failed!"
"He failed to transform, which led to the cessation of the Blood-Burning Manic Change ahead of time!"
"Why did this happen?'
"No! G.o.d, you've got to be kidding me! Lawrence was going to win. Why did the transformation fail?"
...
As Lawrence's second stage in the transformation had failed, which was unexpected to everyone present, they all began to shout out in dismay. But, this provided the perfect opportunity for Steve to fight back!
"It's my turn!" Steve yelled. "Now, take my punch!"
Steve clenched his fist with the Blessed Ring of Earth. By this time, the Blessed Ring of Earth had acc.u.mulated sufficient power to exert its maximum rebound effect!
