Chapter 137: A Piece of Cloth on the Head, I Am the Richest on Earth
The sudden emergence of Puppet still caused a violent shock throughout the mecha circles of the Four Great Federations. Everything before was fine, but an S+ rating, along with the peerless Puppet Step, completely overturned the perceptions of many experts. The momentum of the USE, which had been very sluggish since S10, also picked up. To put it bluntly, mecha combat is to a large extent a manifestation of individual heroism. Although there are team battles, those true powerhouses can indeed reverse the situation with their own strength.
At the very least, the idea that the USE had fallen because of S10 gradually disappeared, and the morale of the various military academies on Earth was also different. The mysterious Puppet likely existed in some military academy, which made everyone full of anticipation for this year's S Tournament. The trend of blindly fawning over the Moon had indeed faded a lot.
At the same time, everyone was full of anticipation for Puppet. A continuous winning streak, super stability, using only the Armor Series—it was quite domineering and awesome, filled with a spirit of despising the world. This was clearly intended to prove the worth of Earth's mecha and pilots, and the effect was that it infected many new students of the USE. They had a new idol and were no longer blindly worshipping the Moon style.
In any era, the exemplary role of an idol is very important. If you put the example in someone else's hands and let the opponent lead, then what is left?
The usage rate of the Armor Leopard skyrocketed. Although it belongs to the high-difficulty mecha category, this mecha is certainly not trash; in many situations, it has the possibility of being fielded. It can only be said that Master Jiabo was too ahead of his time back then, to the point where the concepts of that era couldn't keep up. But now, the physical fitness of pilots is completely different, and there are rumors that the Armor Leopard in the Golden Zone state possesses terrifying power.
Without a doubt, in this year's S Tournament, the Armor Leopard must be one of the mecha to watch out for.
The "Puppet Step" has been officially defined; this belongs to the realm of creation, and so far, no one has been able to imitate it.
It is also a strange thing that such a popular Puppet has no one claiming the identity, and what is strange is that some people who should be in the know have also remained silent.
In the following time, Li Hao led the Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts Team to begin sprint training. The Cougar Team became their exclusive sparring team. Because of Luo Bi, the members of the Cougar Team were really giving them a lot of face. After all, the ranking difference between the two teams was huge. In order to deal with Udier Academy, the Cougar Team even specifically imitated the combat style of Udier Academy to let the Tianjing Team adapt.
This period was also a time for Wuzang and the others to have their Small Universe explode. There is no need to mention Wuzang and Zhou Naiyi; their foundations were already good, and their awareness improved by leaps and bounds. There is no need to mention Huo Ying; he is the most diligent and confident existence in the entire Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts Team. Zuo Xiaotang was also very hardworking, not because he was diligent himself, but because one day, Lu Ying said that a serious man is the most handsome, and then Zuo Xiaotang went wild. As for classmate Ma Long, there is no need to worry; he is a smart person. He learns from his mistakes. Either don't stay in this team, or work a little harder; otherwise, he will end up much worse than Gao Yunfeng.
On Sunday, everyone packed up and arrived at the airport. This time it was an away game. In addition to the team members, A Youyou and others were also able to head to the Udier A-level Military Academy. There always had to be cheerleaders. On this point, Principal Long was still very generous, but there was no need to think about first class; they had to squeeze into economy class.
Squeeze in, that's fine.
Udier Military Academy is located in Yise City in the Middle East region of the old era. It is a light-energy city, a desert oasis, possessing a unique landscape, and is also a very famous tourist resort of the Earth Federation.
The girls put on sun hats, large sunglasses, and cool clothes. The sun was so bright. If it weren't for the pressure of the qualifiers, everyone's mood would be exceptionally different. But at this moment, there was no relaxation on the faces of Wuzang, Zhou Naiyi, and others, and A Youyou and the others had no intention of sightseeing. Everything would have a result tomorrow.
Success or failure depends on this one move. No matter what kind of potential one has, once eliminated, a year passes. And next year, Wuzang and the others will be juniors. Not to mention how the results are this year, missing a year of S Tournament experience means they will still be rookies next year. This is no different from the story of Zhong Yong.
Don't count on a sudden rise in the S Tournament. The so-called emergence is all accumulated through tempering and preparation. Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts is currently too lacking in experience. Although they have Li Hao as the anchor, who is indeed strong, this is a test of the entire team's strength. I have never heard of anyone being invincible by relying on one person. Currently, the strongest teams in the Four Great Federations, besides being led by a super powerhouse, actually have team members whose strength is not bad at all. Take the North Caro of the North American region, for example; the Round Table Knights of the European region, even the Supernovas can only serve as substitutes. This is the difference in magnitude.
Of course, the current Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts doesn't need to consider so much. Defeating the Udier Academy led by Solomon and getting the admission ticket is the most important thing right now.
And Udier Academy has already won one game. In fact, this match is purely a battle of honor. They have already obtained the qualification for the Mid-Season Training. Of course, don't think that they will go easy on them because of this. After all, it is a home game, and losing to the much lower-ranked Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts would be a very shameful thing.
As soon as they left the airport, two girls with wheat-colored skin and sexy, hot figures were holding a sign that said "Welcome Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts Team." They were mainly too tall, and their whole bodies were overflowing with youthful vitality. It was impossible not to notice them. Everyone looked at each other; this treatment seemed a bit different.
After all, Sheng Man was by his side. Ma Long took a hard look at the exotic style and pursed his lips. "Hmph, sugar-coated bullets. They want to disintegrate our fighting spirit. Brothers, don't be fooled."
"May I ask if you are Team Leader Li Hao?" The two girls came up with smiles on their faces as soon as they saw the group.
"I am Li Hao."
"We are from Udier Academy, here specifically to welcome you. Please follow me; the car is already prepared."
At the airport entrance, there was a stretched golden, diamond-encrusted Monterro Magnetic Levitation car... Even the little rich kid Ma Long was dumbfounded.
"This is... picking us up?"
"Yes, our team leader said that you are all distinguished guests and respectable opponents," the two girls smiled. "Please, everyone's accommodation has been arranged. If you have any needs, you can tell us."
Ma Long, like someone who had never seen the world, secretly touched a diamond. Blinded, what kind of luxury is this.
The interior of the car was even more so; it was a land-based first class. Zhou Naiyi and the others were still relatively cautious. After all, they didn't come here to play. The more the other side acted like this, the more careful they had to be.
At this moment, the partition in front lowered, and the handsome guy with a piece of cloth on his head turned his head. "Hi, we meet again, everyone. Li Ge, welcome to Yise City."
"Solomon?"
The driver was indeed Solomon, who had been to Tianjing last week.
Ma Long blinked. "Solomon, Solomon, you wouldn't happen to be surnamed Mohammed, would you?"
The two girls laughed, revealing their white teeth. Solomon nodded. "Excuse me, my family has this kind of tacky style. It's not that I deliberately chose this car; this one is more practical."
Ma Long rolled his eyes. Does this person have some misunderstanding about "practical"?
"Are you really a prince?" Lu Ying couldn't help but ask. This is the surname of the nouveau riche on Earth.
Solomon smiled. "Just the sixth in line. Everyone, let's set off."
"This is the first time our Team Leader Highness has acted as a driver. Li Ge's face is really big." The two girls were also curiously looking at Li Hao. This captain of Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts didn't look like anything special.
"Xilai'er, 'Li Ge' is not what you should call him. I'm sorry, they don't understand the rules," Solomon suddenly said seriously. "Our Yise City is very beautiful. After the match tomorrow, everyone can have a good tour."
Xilai'er was startled because she knew that the team leader was usually very easygoing and rarely serious. Once he was serious, it meant he wasn't joking.
"Team Leader Li Hao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Xilai'er apologized quickly.
Everyone was stunned, staring at Li Hao with wide eyes. What the hell? Is he an emperor? Why can't he be called that casually?
Zhou Naiyi frowned. "Team Leader Solomon, what kind of formation is this? We are opponents."
"Haha, Naiyi, don't be nervous. We are opponents but also friends. We will definitely go all out in the competition, but we don't have much certainty either. Participation is what matters," Solomon said frankly, handsome and wealthy.
Ma Long was a bit jealous. Only at this level is it truly "money power." He also wanted to have a headscarf like that.
With a hum, a wave of light descended, and the whole car became transparent. You could see the outside from the inside, but not the inside from the outside. You could enjoy the beautiful desert oasis and the efficient all-light-energy city. This kind of cleanliness is really far beyond what other cities can compare to. Along the way, Solomon acted as a tour guide. As a prince, philosophy, art, and history were required courses. A tour guide like this must tell stories with a different flavor, and everyone couldn't help but relax.
Arriving at Udier Academy, this is also the academy with the best facilities in the USE. Yes, even better than the T0 academies. There is nothing else here, just money. In the old era, it was an energy center. Later, in the process of energy conversion, they bet correctly. Although they don't control the energy, they are major shareholders of the Earth Federation Energy Group. Anyway, they can just lie back and earn.
Udier Academy is a space city in an oasis, fully automated. It also attracts talent from the Solar System, and anyone who comes gets free tuition, and top students also have high scholarships. In this regard, only a few academies on the Moon can compare.
Solomon also knew that there was a match tomorrow, which concerned the fate of Tianjing, so he didn't talk nonsense after making arrangements.
Once Solomon and the others left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere here was so comfortable that they almost forgot about the decisive battle tomorrow.
"Twins!" Ma Long suddenly blurted out.
"What twins?"
"That Xilai'er, Xiniya, they are twins!"
