Chapter 191: Blood Surge!
The operations room fell silent. Greg and the others looked at each other; they felt that their coming to Tianjing was already exaggerated enough. Cougar? Tianxing Martial Arts? It seemed they really needed to re-evaluate Li Hao's influence.
Fortunately, the significance of this exchange tournament was now completely different, and what it could bring was also entirely different.
When Long Danni learned the news, she once suspected that something was wrong with her ears.
Cougar? Tianxing Martial Arts? A full-strength lineup?
Tianxing Martial Arts was even covering all expenses themselves and had even brought their own equipment?
Even though Long Danni trusted Zhou Naiyi deeply, she still couldn't help but confirm it several times. Not long after, the school administrations of both Cougar and Tianxing Martial Arts sent out official notifications.
They were really coming.
No matter how narcissistic she was, Long Danni didn't think she had such great charm. A mere Mid-Season Tournament qualification shouldn't be enough to attract these three parties. Did this kid Li Hao have such charm?
If being strong alone were enough to attract people, they should have gone to North Carolina Military Academy.
In the evening, Li Hao woke up. His hair was all frizzy and he looked a bit haggard, as if he had been ravaged by countless burly men.
Li Hao was also furious. He had finally recruited a few employees, but those damn insects had been tracking him and eventually wiped them out, yet he still hadn't found the item. Li Hao decided to change locations at night; as soon as he appeared, the entire area would be blockaded by the Giant Insects.
He couldn't focus on his work at all and had to fight a guerrilla war.
While eating, he opened his Skynet terminal and saw those missed calls. Li Hao blinked, wanting to ignore them. After scrolling through, he felt a bit of a headache; it seemed he couldn't just ignore them.
"Class Monitor, what's the situation? I took a nap, is it the end of the world?"
Li Hao was a bit grumpy from waking up.
"Ah, Team Leader Li, are you complaining?" Zhou Naiyi said.
"Ha, haha, how could I, Class Monitor? Are Luo Bi and Dita coming?" Li Hao actually didn't care; this was a good thing for Ma Long and the others. "Our budget isn't high."
"All expenses, they are covering themselves. Four teams is just right; any more and it would be chaotic, so I rejected the others."
After Dita, Udier Academy, Black Rock Military Academy, and several others also wanted to come. The wealthy Solomon even wanted to purchase facilities to build several new training grounds—how did his brain circuit work? But Zhou Naiyi politely declined them all. They really couldn't have more; four teams were just right. Any more, and Tianjing Martial Arts would have no presence. When choosing opponents, who should they choose? How should they arrange it?
She didn't want Tianjing Martial Arts to be reduced to a bystander serving tea and water.
"Class Monitor, wise and mighty!" Li Hao yawned. "No need to spoil them. Once they arrive on our turf, they have to follow our rules!"
"Are you okay? Can you be this exhausted just from sleeping?" Zhou Naiyi felt that Li Hao's state wasn't very good; he seemed very tired lately.
"I'm cultivating immortality, it's fine. Don't be polite with them at all. We aren't the sparring partners; they are!" Li Hao instructed.
Zhou Naiyi nodded slightly. "Are you sure you're okay? You've been like this lately, pay attention to your health."
Li Hao smiled and blinked. "Class Monitor is so concerned about me? Then bring me a late-night snack tonight."
"Get lost!"
"So cold."
Closing the Skynet terminal, Zhou Naiyi shook her head helplessly, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. Meanwhile, Li Hao had already bounced onto the bed. He had to formulate a new tactic to teach these big-bodied but brainless guys a good lesson. Daring to stop him from mining—he would let them know who was boss.
The Tianjing Team's training ground had already become a scenic check-in spot; Aofei's charm was quite great.
"What? Cougar and Tianxing Martial Arts are also coming? A joint training of the four major teams?"
"Is it for real? Since when did our Tianjing Martial Arts become so awesome?"
"Wow, wow, Dita and Aofei, what kind of grand occasion is this? The peerless beauties??"
"How does this sound so unbelievable?"
"My neighbor's relative's son in the school office has already received emails from the two academies. I feel like our Tianjing is about to take off!"
"Why do I feel like we just provided a place? Is it possible the Round Table Knights and Cougar have some big move and are using us as a cover?"
"I heard Aofei doesn't think much of Chao Qinglong. Could it be she wants to seize the throne in this Mid-Season Tournament?"
"Supporting the Queen to reach the top!"
The Tianjing Martial Arts social circle was buzzing, but now it seemed the news should be true. However, if it were said they came for Tianjing Martial Arts, even they themselves wouldn't believe it. Aofei and Luo Bi had always had a good relationship. Among the Six Dragons, Aofei and Luo Bi were in one camp, Chao Qinglong, Lomachenko, and Milner were in one camp, and Mad Dog Perkins didn't look favorably upon anyone.
It wasn't just Earth that was like this; Mars and the Moon were similar. There were strong individuals, but no one had appeared who could unify the country with absolute hegemony. Over on the Moon...
S11, the War God returns. Whoever between Maxis and Victor could achieve the best results in this session would likely become the number one person. And on Mars, the Three Wolves compete for supremacy. Currently, Wolf King Basta is in the lead, but the others, Fanli and Lone Wolf Romero, are simply unconvinced. Martians are the most difficult to deal with anyway; if Basta wants to ascend the throne, he must win the S11 championship no matter what.
It could be said that as the beginning of the second decade of the S-Tournament, all the strong players of recent sessions had gathered. If this lineup were maintained until the S-Tournament, it would be interesting. It felt like a struggle among heroes, and only the true king could stand out.
Soon, those who got the news all felt that this was led by Aofei. Aofei wanted to defeat Chao Qinglong in the Mid-Season Tournament, so she definitely had to pull people in. Luo Bi would definitely arrive, and Luo Bi had a good relationship with Dita and had always been a training opponent. By comparison, Dita and Aofei were definitely improving each other; in the short term, they had no conflict.
And Dita had just lost to the Puppet in the challenge match; she was probably also wanting to understand the situation on Earth. Tianjing Martial Arts felt like a convenient partner to use as a cover.
But for the little friends at Tianjing, even being a side dish was very happy. How many years had it been since they had seen such teams come? The last time had to be traced back to the time of Wu Fa, but unfortunately, Wu Fa only reached his peak in his senior year, and then Tianjing Martial Arts began to slide rapidly.
Aofei also received news of the other two teams coming, but she was noncommittal. She didn't care. Luo Bi and Dita probably hadn't yet reached a true understanding of power. Although the Moon discovered the Golden Zone first, it didn't necessarily mean they could erupt with the greatest power.
In the meditation room, in the dim room, Aofei's body was suspended.
North Carolina Military Academy.
A group of first-team members had pale faces. Yetong was also among them. They were in the laboratory, where a Razor Giant Insect brought from Kepler was locked up, firmly secured by alloy chains. This Giant Insect had almost no injuries and was very full of vitality, capable of producing a huge deterrent. The basic condition for entering the first team was being able to resist the Intimidation of this kind of Giant Insect.
The alloy door of the laboratory had been closed. Through the glass, everyone watched as Chao Qinglong walked toward the Giant Insect with his upper body bare. The Razor Giant Insect was roaring crazily, waving its huge razor claws, but it was locked by chains as thick as arms and could only roar in vain. Even through the glass, one could feel that kind of biological level suppression.
Without the protection of Mecha, humans were just food in front of this kind of creature. The first-team members had all felt that kind of fear. They didn't know what the Team Leader was waiting for.
Could it be that he was going to do something very crazy?
Chao Qinglong had always been a man of few words, and most of the time, everyone didn't know what he was thinking. Since yesterday, when they learned that Aofei was leading the main force to Tianjing Martial Arts, everyone felt something unusual about the familiar him.
Chao Qinglong walked in front of the Razor Giant Insect. The huge claws were waving right in front of his eyes, and saliva even sprayed onto Chao Qinglong's face. From the moment the Giant Insect encountered humans, it had been full of a greedy appetite. At such a distance, the Giant Insect was even crazier. The people outside were panicking; the quality of these chains should be reliable, right?
If these broke, today North Carolina Military Academy would be on the headlines of the entire Solar System. The staff of the adjacent North Carolina Military Academy laboratory didn't know what Chao Qinglong wanted to do either, but in this academy, Chao Qinglong possessed considerable authority. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the leader and hope of the entire Earth, the only one holding the line against the expansion of NUP and ROM.
Of course, he possessed absolute strength. In the process of confronting the Giant Insect, others could actually only maintain their sanity, while Chao Qinglong had absolutely no emotional fluctuations. In other words, the Giant Insect's Intimidation was useless against him. With this one feat alone, he could instantly kill 99% of the warriors in the Solar System.
Chao Qinglong tapped his Skynet terminal, a pop-up appeared, and a page emerged. Chao Qinglong matched his pupil, unlocked it, and suddenly the entire laboratory's sirens blared. The staff were all scared silly.
Pop, pop, pop!
The chains locking the Razor Giant Insect opened, including the chain mask covering its mouth. The Razor Giant Insect, having gained its freedom, released all its suppressed power in an instant.
Roar!
A Giant Insect Intimidation like a hurricane blasted out. Everyone's faces instantly lost all color. What was he trying to do???
Roar!
Chao Qinglong, at the center of the storm, was completely fearless; his roaring sound wave actually suppressed the sound of the Razor Giant Insect, his wild posture like a War God descending, and the Razor Giant Insect leaped up, thrusting its razor toward Chao Qinglong.
Clang, clang, clang!
The hard marble floor was poked with one hole after another, while Chao Qinglong's figure flashed continuously.
The Razor Giant Insect slammed over violently, Chao Qinglong's figure vanished, appearing in the air the next second, and the Razor Giant Insect suddenly sprang up to collide in the opposite direction.
Boom—Chao Qinglong was hit head-on, bounced to the ceiling, and then fell heavily to the ground.
At this moment, everyone present went cold; they dared not use liquid nitrogen, as the Giant Insect might freeze, but Chao Qinglong would also be finished.
The Giant Insect flew directly over, its huge claws grabbing toward Chao Qinglong with full force, boom—the claws embedded deeply into the ground, but Chao Qinglong was gone, rat-tat-tat...
Chao Qinglong stepped on the claws and charged directly in front of the Giant Insect, seemingly wanting to jump onto the Giant Insect's head; the Giant Insect's claws were embedded in the ground and could not be pulled out for a moment, but he underestimated the Giant Insect's reaction speed, as the Giant Insect's large mouth attacked with almost the speed of Electricity, directly swallowing Chao Qinglong in one bite.
