Chapter 193: 190. Can't Teach You
Dita raised an eyebrow. She truly could not stand Aofei's confidence and sense of superiority, which seemed to come from nowhere. The Seven Big Dipper and the Six Dragons were on equal footing, and the overall records of the two teams were similar. Was it all just because of Li Hao? Could one person change a world?
"Is that so? It's a good thing you're so confident," Dita said without reservation. "If Li Hao is the Puppet, that would be even better. Regardless of whether Li Hao has one or several special skills, the overall strength gap of Tianjing is still too large, and this gap is a fatal flaw. It will absolutely cause individual strength to fall into a quagmire from which there is no escape."
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became a bit strange. Luo Bi struggled to hold back his laughter, while Aofei looked at Dita as if she were a fool... This woman really only had a superficial understanding; why did she come here so confused?
"Dita, you are truly incredible, I'm convinced!" Luo Bi said, shaking his head.
Dita was baffled and quite angry. What kind of secret code were they speaking? Earthlings were truly annoying; they all just loved to put on airs!
Glancing at Li Hao, Li Hao just kept eating; he couldn't be bothered to listen to this. As he ate, he thought of A Youyou. He wondered if A Youyou was still angry with him. Sigh, the last two days had been a bit difficult; it seemed he had been targeted by insects. Every time he finally started working for a while, he would be discovered, and the varieties were increasing—they had even dispatched large forces. However, he was gradually getting a feel for it. In places where K23 was concentrated, crystals should form, but K23 was indeed very difficult to aggregate; it required an exceptionally rich area to condense. As for forming crystals, who knew how many years that would take? And such places were often the nests of Giant Insects. If he got too close, there were too many high-level Giant Insects, while the outer areas were relatively thin, which required spending time.
This was manual labor.
Li Hao's distraction was too obvious; Zhou Naiyi didn't even know what to say, but Aofei and the others seemed accustomed to it.
Dita couldn't hold back anymore. "How are we going to allocate our time? Li Hao, I see you're almost falling asleep while eating!"
"Ah, what?" Li Hao raised his head.
"I said how are we going to allocate things? We can't just do this in a muddle!"
"I have no opinion, but I'm quite busy and often away," Li Hao shrugged.
Dita almost choked to death. Was this something a person would say?
Alzi frowned. He had been enduring it, enduring it, but this was really going too far. "Team Leader Li Hao, you should understand that this is a golden opportunity for Tianjing Martial Arts, one that might never come again. Shouldn't you be more serious? Here, we must speak from the perspective of strength!"
Aofei, Luo Bi, and the others looked at each other. Dita's face was also a bit red, and she kicked Alzi hard.
Aofei glanced at Alzi and ignored him. "I have an idea. We'll split into two groups and play training matches according to the competition format. The two winning teams will play another round, and the final winner can make their request to the Second Brother."
Luo Bi smiled. "That's good, I have no objection." Zhou Naiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know what Li Hao was thinking, but having been to the S Tournament, she was different from the others. She knew too well what kind of qualitative change it would bring if these three teams seriously sparred with them.
"Fine, but I don't guarantee I can do it," Li Hao said helplessly.
Alzi had seen people acting arrogant, but never anyone acting this arrogant. However, this time he didn't speak up because his foot had already been stepped on.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's do it this way. How shall we divide the teams?" Dita was certainly not afraid, especially since the three Earthlings were clearly in cahoots.
"You are the guest, you choose first, so you can't say we're bullying you," Aofei said.
"Fine, I choose you!" Dita said.
"Then Naiyi, let's have a good spar!" Luo Bi laughed.
At the table next to them, Lu Ying felt a bit envious. She also wanted to sit at the main table; she loved this feeling of being the center of attention. She enjoyed such attention and life, but looking at Aofei and Dita, and even
Zhou Naiyi, she suddenly felt that her previous self-indulgence was a bit disgusting and too low-class. At this moment, she had no presence at all. Those naked, animalistic gazes lusting after her body could not compare at all to the respect and admiration in the eyes of excellent men.
The witty and humorous Luo Bi radiated infinite charm in every gesture; he was simply a walking hormone. The surrounding girls were so hot and passionate they could melt him. And that Alzi was handsome; the fatal, handsome beauty of the Earthling was intoxicating.
Greg was also good, with an aristocratic temperament, exquisite to every detail; they were all top-tier boyfriends.
Zuo Xiaotang basically didn't speak after his initial self-introduction, only occasionally sneaking a look at her. That gaze was a bit annoying; if she gave him a casual smile, he would giggle like a fool for a long time. He was truly like an idiot. Huo Ying talked the most, holding forth with grand eloquence. Didn't he know he was the weakest one here? A typical "proud and confident" man.
After the meal, Li Hao yawned and left first. He had to mine for a while and still had to go to work at night. No matter what his future path was, he at least had a reliable job to support himself. In this little patch of Tianjing, Mission Accomplished 567 was no boast.
The other team members were baffled, but this was a matter between team leaders. They might feel awkward, but it wasn't their place to intervene.
Aofei and Luo Bi had an understanding. They had come this time to adjust Tianjing Martial Arts, to let the other members of Tianjing Martial Arts understand what the true S Tournament level was. Only by matching Li Hao's ability could they go further in the S Tournament. The tactical analysis team they brought also meant this—to analyze Tianjing from multiple perspectives. Their teams had been polished through many S Tournaments, and their perspective and height were completely different. This was also a precious learning opportunity for Tan Ziyuan.
Do not think that the tactical teams of top military academies are just for show; on the contrary, those who perform well often achieve higher accomplishments in the military. Of course, they must have real ability.
Everyone had returned to the team training camp, and the new facilities had been installed. In this regard, the Moon People were indeed generous. Of course, the Earth's wealthy prince hadn't gotten his chance yet; if he came, it would definitely be even more impressive—everyone had already experienced this in Wudier. On one side were Aofei's Round Table Knights and Dita's Tianxing Martial Arts; the atmosphere was a bit tense. The overall level of NUP was indeed higher than USE, but the Round Table Knights were ranked second in USE, and Tianxing Martial Arts was at the top level in NUP, so the strength of both sides was definitely very close. It was hard to say who would win. Dita had her own goals, but the team battle was no joke, and training was also a part of it. The reason the school supported it was certainly not because of Tianjing, but because of the Cougar and the Round Table Knights. This was equally important to Tianxing Academy, and they hoped Dita could lead the team further.
Both tactical teams had already intervened in the discussion. Of course, it wasn't an official match, so everyone would have more time and preparation.
By comparison, Tianjing Martial Arts and the Cougar were exceptionally enthusiastic. Both sides were preparing, and Zhou Naiyi was asking Luo Bi for advice. This was no exaggeration; Luo Bi was an S Tournament big shot and a senior from every angle. As for Tianjing Martial Arts in S10, let's not even mention it; Li Hao really changed all of that.
"Naiyi, you guys just play your tactics, we will cooperate," Luo Bi said openly. "The current situation of Tianjing is still far from the S Tournament level. Don't be in a hurry to think about ultimate moves or anything. The purpose of our visit this time is to help you lay the foundation. I believe you have potential, and we want to dig that potential out, so don't have any burdens. Also, you can ask any questions. I've already told the Cougar side to tell everything they know without reservation. If anyone dares to act arrogant, you tell me."
Zhou Naiyi was truly stunned. How could there be someone like this? "Team Leader Luo Bi, I don't know what to say. Thank you so much."
Having been to the S Tournament, Zhou Naiyi knew very well the weight of these words. Luo Bi waved his hand. "Don't be polite with me. As the Vice Captain, you should actually know some things. The overall level of NUP has suppressed us, and Mars is not to be trifled with either. If we want to make it out in S11, Tianjing Martial Arts must enter the S Tournament. Second Brother can sanction them, but you also know this is a competition that emphasizes teamwork."
Zhou Naiyi certainly knew Li Hao was strong, but having reached Luo Bi's level, why would he have such confidence?
Luo Bi smiled. "Don't have any pressure. Second Brother has a very good eye. If you didn't have potential, he wouldn't waste his time. This round, I'll be responsible for Wuzang. Next round, when you encounter Aofei, she will deeply analyze your technical structure."
Zhou Naiyi was silent for a while. Luo Bi realized something. "If you have something to say, just say it, don't be polite. I'm a reliable person."
"I've always had a question. I wanted to let Li Hao teach us, but he only comes during physical training. I understand his personality; he's only slacker-like on the surface, but he's very responsible at heart. I just can't figure out why, since he's so strong, he doesn't just help us directly?" Zhou Naiyi said. She had actually told Li Hao several times, but Li
Hao had used various excuses to brush it off.
Luo Bi was stunned, then laughed bitterly. "He can't teach you."
Seeing Zhou Naiyi still looking puzzled, "His method of using power and his level of consciousness are completely different from ordinary people," Luo Bi said, laughing at himself. "Back in the Youth Class, there were only two people on the Earth side who could barely understand it. One died, and the other is Chao Qinglong of North Caro... Sigh, let's not mention him, that's drifting too far. Anyway, since Aofei and I are here, you don't need to worry."
Luo Bi didn't say anything more, and Zhou Naiyi was completely speechless. She had known Li Hao for over a year. From the first time she saw him in class in the first grade—when others were talking enthusiastically about life and ideals, he was lying down sleeping; when others were training, he was nowhere to be found, keen on delivering food; yet he could always hit the passing line in every exam. But every time she saw Li Hao, she had an indescribable feeling, as if he were not from the same world as her.
Sometimes she would feel he was wasting his life and couldn't help but manage him, and he would actually listen to advice...
