Chapter 251: Chao Qinglong
Zhou Naiyi, Ma Long, and Zuo Xiaotang felt very helpless; at this moment, they had to bite the bullet and go for it. The atmosphere suddenly turned murderous, and everyone was waiting for the big shots to make a move. Did they really think Aofei had a good temper?
Her nickname was Blood Rose, after all!
The primary target of an attack is always a vital point. If you take someone else's attack, you might still have a chance to counterattack, but if you are caught by Aofei, one strike is fatal.
Mad Lion Robbie was even more arrogant; he dared to curse Chao Qinglong to his face.
As for Roaring Heavenly Venerable Lomachenko and Ghost Shadow Milner, they were even harder to get along with; they would absolutely not tolerate a few pieces of trash standing in front of them.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Time ticked away, but the four top powerhouses in the second row remained completely motionless.
Five seconds, ten seconds.
Time ticked forward, yet the people from Tianjing Martial Arts were actually standing in front perfectly fine. The powerhouses from the four super teams in the second row didn't move at all. Greg was stunned. He knew his Team Leader had a good relationship with Li Hao, but wasn't this person courting death? If a fight really broke out, no one could protect them; this was offending the public.
Just as Greg wanted to say something, Mo Yu beside him stopped the Vice Captain. Only then did Greg realize; he looked around and saw Robbie with a smile on his lips, even carrying a hint of pride. Ghost Shadow Milner was expressionless, as if he hadn't seen anything. Roaring Heavenly Venerable was just staring at Li Hao's back, his intentions unreadable.
At this moment, Ma Long's breathing was almost at a standstill, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He didn't know when his back had become soaked. Of course, he knew what the situation was behind him.
Other teams were still entering one after another. At this moment, there was chaos; a group of people started fighting. Two teams attacked one team, and very quickly, the people from that team were all knocked down.
Lu Donglei's voice echoed in the hall: "Zuma Team eliminated."
Immediately following, soldiers entered and carried away the six members of the Zuma Team.
At this moment, the faces of Ma Long, Zuo Xiaotang, and the others were a bit pale. Zhou Naiyi and Wuzang were already prepared for battle. At this moment, they understood why so many people were staring at them. This was no longer a question of being tactful; they could very likely be wiped out directly. Who would dare to turn their backs on their competitors without sufficient strength?
Li Hao also heard the commotion behind him, yet he acted like nothing was wrong. He even smiled at Aofei and the others, his gaze sweeping over Milner and Lomachenko. In an instant, Milner and Lomachenko's bodies tensed up involuntarily.
Cang Gongtian and the others were also looking at Li Hao. Was this the opponent the North Carolina Alliance needed to deal with?
The weak state of these few people was completely in their view. Weren't such weaklings just courting death?
Wuxiya's gaze met Li Hao's for a moment, and suddenly her pupils contracted violently. Old Li gave a friendly smile; this female student was quite pretty.
No one in the third row moved either. Yan Peng and the others were waiting for this day. Cang Gongtian and the others were unwilling to be this meaningless bird that sticks its head out. They had their own goals in allying with Beikarosai and weren't really here to be lackeys.
Gaining the greatest benefits through an alliance first and then looking for an opportunity to rise to the top—that was the safest way. That kind of "one against a hundred, despising the masses" stuff was for the idiots who died the earliest.
With no one moving in the first three rows, some people in the fourth row were getting restless. It seemed the big shots weren't willing to haggle with "small fries," or perhaps, since they dared to occupy the first row, they were challenging Beikarosai, so they would wait for Chao Qinglong to solve it.
But what if someone solved this small fry at this moment and stood in this position, and Chao Qinglong's stature didn't care about it?
It might even be possible to gain Chao Qinglong's appreciation! Wealth is sought in danger; there's always a probability!
Sure enough, a team came out. The Maliang Team from the Africa region hesitated slightly, then under the leadership of Team Leader Kaier, they walked toward the front. The crowd was in a stir; finally, someone couldn't help but want to show their face.
But before they could reach the front, Perkins suddenly turned his head, looked at the people walking over, and said, "Get lost!"
The group immediately froze. Gritting their teeth, they wanted to resist, but looking at Perkins's expression, they suddenly pointed to the front, "Why can they go over, but we can't?"
This was not only Kaier's confusion, but also the confusion of a considerable number of people.
Unfortunately, Perkins was not an encyclopedia, and he had no reason to answer them.
Depuya of Prometheus laughed, "Why don't you try and find out? How did such stupid brains manage to get in here?"
Kaier and the others were also in a dilemma. When they had just left, their positions were quickly taken by others. It was hard to go back, and it seemed these top teams had no intention of making a move.
Just as they were about to grit their teeth and rush up, the door opened. At this moment, the entire hall went quiet, leaving only the sound of footsteps.
Chao Qinglong of Beikarosai had arrived.
Clad in the black Azure Dragon battle uniform of Beikarosai, Chao Qinglong was imposing without being angry. He entered the venue with the terrifying kings of the Beikarosai team, and everyone blocking the way automatically stepped aside.
The absolute king of the USE.
Beikarosai.
This Mid-Season Tournament only gave Beikarosai one spot, so the competition was unimaginably fierce. The only substitute was a girl, but she was the famous head of this year's Supernovas, Ye Tong.
It looked far away, but the Beikarosai team walked over quickly. Kaier and the others didn't dare to block the way, let alone walk in front, so they could only step aside. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Chao Qinglong.
Chao Qinglong's pace didn't change, but it felt as if time had suddenly slowed down. In an instant, the entire hall seemed to be plunged into an invisible pressure of several times gravity.
This was the aura of the strongest king from the USE.
Many people among them were expectant, looking forward to Chao Qinglong making a move. Perhaps it wouldn't even be necessary; Beikarosai could wipe out the other side by pulling out anyone at random.
One second... three seconds...
Under the gaze of everyone, Chao Qinglong led the group and stood at
the position on the right side of the first row.
At this moment, a monstrous wave surged in everyone's hearts; the shock could no longer be described in words. Everyone knew the convention of the Mid-Season Tournament: the left is superior!!!!!!
Chao Qinglong might be too lazy to deal with small fry, but how could he tolerate small fry being above him????
On the Tianjing Martial Arts side, except for Li Hao, everyone's bodies had completely stiffened. This was the super-pressuring aura from the king's army, Beikarosai. Being in the same horizontal position, the people from North Caro looked at them with strange eyes, and all the pressure poured directly onto them.
The Maliang Team was in a difficult spot. What should they do?
Should they go up or not?
Before they could make a decision, the last of the top ten teams appeared. From the Oceania region, the Dome Royal Military Academy. As the head of the ambitious New Five Tigers, Curtis's gaze went directly to the front. When he saw that the first row was actually full, his face immediately darkened.
When he saw that the other party was actually an unknown team, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Curtis's mouth, and he walked toward the front.
His position was not in the third row!
For a powerhouse, what is needed is not an empty seat, but a ranking that belongs to oneself.
Pang Peila immediately recognized Tianjing Martial Arts and laughed out loud. These bumpkins who had never seen the world were actually arrogant enough to come to the Mid-Season Tournament.
The Round Table Knights had voluntarily given up their seats; this was the trend. Tianjing Martial Arts had actually occupied their position?
Just at this moment, Lu Donglei's voice rang out in the hall: "I am Lu Donglei, the person in charge of this Mid-Season Tournament. Ten seconds later, teams without positions will be directly eliminated."
Although it was expected, there were still teams without positions hesitating. Curtis frowned slightly; obviously, there was no time left. He was also decisive and stood directly in the last position of the third row. Of course, after standing firm, Curtis's gaze stared straight at Tianjing in front, his murderous intent no longer concealed.
Other teams without positions were tragic. Before they could react, time was up. Soldiers appeared and took the members without positions away directly. Kaier and the others were unwilling; they originally had positions, so how did it end up like this?
"It's unfair, this is unfair!" Although Kaier was being dragged away, he still roared wildly, "We are ranked thirty-fifth; we have the opportunity and the strength. This is completely unreasonable!"
The other team members also struggled desperately.
Lu Donglei's voice rang out again, but this time he had already walked to the very front of the hall, signaling the soldiers to put them down. "Meeting everyone for the first time, I will make an exception and explain once: first, misjudging the situation; second, indecisiveness; third, incompetent rage—all are unforgivable!"
After speaking, he waved his hand.
The soldiers forcibly took the people away, and those who dared to resist were knocked down with a single rifle butt; very quickly, the hall returned to calm.
Lu Donglei's gaze swept across the room, and a kind, harmless smile appeared on his face. "Alright, it's finally quiet. Everyone can relax a bit; I'm a very easygoing person. First, on behalf of the USE military, I welcome you, the Elite representing Earth's top combat power, to participate in this training."
Applause erupted throughout the hall; it could finally begin, and no one cared about the losers.
"I am Lu Donglei. You can call me General Lu or Old Lu, either is fine. There is another person in charge named Sazerac. The two of us will be responsible for the selection for this Mid-Season Training. You have all likely sensed that this Mid-Season Training is quite different from the past, and there are many surprises waiting for you later. We have only one goal: to select the sixteen strongest teams to compete for the highest honor of the S Tournament and to defend the dignity of Earth. Therefore, elimination is not scary. The possibility of casualties in this training is a bit high; those who want to quit should do so as soon as possible. Once it begins, perhaps the only way back will be inside a box."
Lu Donglei looked at everyone with a smile; his voice was not loud, yet it could clearly reach every corner of the hall,
as if he were speaking directly into everyone's ear.
Naturally, no one would be scared off.
Lu Donglei certainly knew this too, but being in this position, what had to be said still had to be said. Since Saze was slacking off, it could only be him.
The people present did not know much about this General Lu. Lu Donglei's gaze landed on North Caro. Chao Qinglong's aura was steady, and he had truly improved immensely compared to last year; there was no need to even mention the other team members. North Caro was a behemoth to the entire USE.
