Chapter 255: I Have Returned
The Udier Team led by Solomon also subdued two Razor Giant Insects. Team Leader Solomon himself is a mental-type, manifesting as multi-line control. One prerequisite for multi-line control is powerful mental strength. Furthermore, Udier's "money power" is also quite significant; they can purchase the highest-quality giant insects for training.
"Team Leader Li Hao is so bold. I really didn't expect him to make a move in front of so many people, and I'm even more surprised that the military didn't take action," Milton couldn't help but exclaim.
"He really is a man of few words and ruthless actions. I dare say no one expected him to suddenly strike. Pang Peila is also truly useless; he didn't even put up any resistance. Curtis has always considered himself the second person after Chao Qinglong, but this time he has lost a lot of face."
"That guy Curtis is extremely insidious; he wouldn't make a move without absolute certainty and full benefits. However, Tianjing Martial Arts really needs to be careful."
"Haven't you noticed? Quite a few people are siding with this old Li Ge," Seth, who is already a senior, said with a slightly teasing smile. "It feels like it's much livelier this year."
"Seth, you'd better not call him that in front of outsiders," Solomon said. "For this Mid-Season Tournament, watch more and speak less. It's hard to say, but something big might happen."
Seth was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself, "Is there a need to be so exaggerated? Yes, Team Leader. Chao Qinglong has become much more steady this year, unlike his previous sharp and exposed self; he has a bit of the demeanor Maxis had when he won the championship back then."
Seth, a senior, has already experienced four S Tournaments, and Solomon also respects this upperclassman. In fact, this is also everyone's intuitive feeling.
"Objectively, I think Chao Qinglong is stronger, but he was too stifled back then. Emotionally, I hope Li Ge can reclaim his position," Solomon said. "I have a strong hunch in my heart that there might be a miracle."
Looking at their team leader's fanatical gaze, the other four looked at each other. This... they know that besides liking mecha, the team leader also loves art very much. People who love art tend to have more exaggerated subjective emotions.
In fact, a great deal of discussion has arisen between the First Tier and the Second Tier, all revolving around Li Hao. But those who know are almost all ambiguous, while those who don't are questioning this approach of Li Hao's. Of course, regardless of which it is, Tianjing cannot continue to mix in low-key in the subsequent training.
The spaceship sails through the beautiful and prosperous starry sky. The Space City Chain built by humans along Earth, Moon, Mars, and Titan is like a diamond necklace on the neck of the Solar System, adorning space. Aofei and the others appreciate this beautiful scenery and also look forward to the challenges at their destination.
At this moment on Mars, the Martian Mid-Season Tournament has also begun.
In the strictly stratified Mars, there is no noise in the venue. The Three Wolves led their team to arrive; they remain the strongest face of Mars. Of course, Lone Wolf Romero still bore considerable pressure and questioning because he lost to Puppet in an amateur match.
There were even rumors at one point that he would be excluded from the Three Wolves, and some new-generation talents were also eyeing the position.
Now it depends on the attitudes of Lang Wang Basita and the Killing Wolf Duanwu. If the two of them apply pressure together, the landscape of Mars will change.
As the teams arrived one after another, Killing Wolf Duanwu arrived first. Others stepped aside one after another, and the leading position in front automatically emptied out, becoming very spacious.
Killing Wolf did not go to the front but stopped, waiting for something.
Not long after, Lang Wang Basita also arrived. The two looked at each other and did not immediately go to the front row.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Mars is very sensitive to social strata. The posture of the Wolf King and Killing Wolf seems to be a showdown with Romero. He was already missing an eye, and now he has such a shameful defeat; a changing of the guard is certain. Mars gives the highest respect to the strong, but at the same time, it has the highest requirements for the strong.
This time, to block the NUP's three-peat, Mars is duty-bound to bring out its strongest lineup. Their goal is only the championship. Someone like Romero, who has shown flaws, does not deserve to be called one of the Three Kings of Mars.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, everyone was very patient. Only the sound of breathing remained in the hall. Romero arrived with the members of Wolf Martial. Seeing this formation, the faces of the Wolf Martial members changed. They hadn't thought it wouldn't happen, but they didn't expect to face a challenge from the Wolf King and Killing Wolf just as the Mid-Season Tournament began.
The atmosphere solidified.
Romero looked at Basta
and Duanwu, nodding slowly.
Basta and Duanwu also nodded, and the two stepped aside, letting Romero lead his team forward first.
In an instant, the entire venue was dumbfounded. What does this mean?
Finally, the discussion could not be held back and erupted, but no one paid attention. Those who understand, understand; those who don't, no one will explain. That person has returned, so someone must go and weigh him first. Whoever makes the first move will definitely suffer. If Romero doesn't go up, Basta and Duanwu will have to, but since Romero went up, Basta and Duanwu must give him this respect.
Likewise, this battle also allowed Romero to gain experience that others cannot see. Only by fighting in person can one know what level that man is at now.
If this year's NUP is the goal of all teams, then that person is the goal of all the strong. Besides, who says this is all of Romero? He only reached the Burning Will.
The Moon, the prosperous Moon, walks at the forefront of the Solar System. Having developed to this point, it is already comprehensively leading. A three-peat is the inevitable pursuit of the Moon; it is time to fully demonstrate comprehensive combat power.
In the spacious and bright arched venue, one hundred high-level teams have already arrived. On the Moon, the Mid-Season Training is also known as the "Small S Tournament," and it is even jokingly said that the Moon's Mid-Season Tournament is actually more difficult than the S Tournament. For the Moon, this is not only preparation for the S Tournament but also a time to test the comprehensive level of the Federation. All major military academies must bring out their most excellent combat power to test their progress over the year.
Most teams have already arrived, and all members are sitting neatly. Unlike the strict pressure on Mars, the Moon represents the highest order and discipline; this is something integrated into their bones.
The New Big Dipper has already arrived. The Big Dipper Seven Stars led by Li Xiangshan will inevitably have huge changes this year. This is Li Xiangshan's last S Tournament. In fact, if it weren't for the battle with Puppet, he would have definitely left gloriously, but this battle did indeed add a stain to his nearly perfect career. If it weren't for the subsequent defeats of Dita and Lone Wolf Romero, which gave a sense of "negative times negative equals positive," he probably wouldn't have been able to keep his position in the Big Dipper Seven Stars.
This year's NUP is full of confidence, not only because of the maturity and normalcy of Heavenly King Fan Liweite but also because of the return of War God Maxis. The Moon people, with their double insurance, do not allow any accidents.
However, the appearance of Puppet does make the Moon people quite troubled.
The entry of Fan Liweite and Maxis received applause from the entire venue because they brought two championships to the NUP and are the foundation of the undefeated myth of the three-peat.
Fan Liweite and Maxis sat in the front row. What has arrived now is the super-luxurious lineup for this Moon preparation for the S Tournament.
The time arrived, and the venue immediately gradually quieted down. In the past, the military would send at least one Major General; for something as important as this year, even a Lieutenant General is possible.
After a while, a person walked onto the podium, a very, very young person. He slowly stood in front of the stage.
The expressions of Fan Liweite and the others changed immediately.
The young man's gaze slowly swept across the audience, and his handsome, almost flawless face revealed a faint smile. "Some people know me, some don't. Let me introduce myself first. I am Xilian Molafisi. I have returned."
The Earth's spaceship landed at a certain base on Mars. It looks like this is a cooperative base between the USE and the ROM.
All team members walked out one after another. After a day and a night of sailing, some people felt nothing—it was just a trip. Some teams were already incomplete; this trip eliminated another team. Once two members of a team are injured, they will also be eliminated.
Most people still showed a hint of fatigue, including the Tianjing Martial Arts side. There was a certain team leader who was of no use, causing everyone to fight with all their might, which was quite exhausting.
The remaining forty-five teams gathered in the square, surrounded by rows of fully armed soldiers. A Colonel walked to the center.
"My name is Samala, and I will be responsible for your tests at the Martian base." Samala didn't talk nonsense. He tapped his Skycom, and with a sweep of his hand, a huge screen appeared. On it was the ranking of the remaining forty-five teams. Even those who were spiritless widened their eyes.
"This is the ranking of each team. In each stage, there is elimination by combat results and elimination of the bottom-ranked. During this trip, the first-place team is the Beikarosai Team, the second place is the Dome Royal
Team, and the third place is the Round Table Knights Team."
Samala only mentioned the top three, and everyone was looking for their own ranking.
Gruu Team 5, Ockham Royal Team 6, Samode Team 7, Jiyingdao Team 8, Cougar Team 9, Calf Team 10, Sea Shark Team.
These are the top ten teams in points currently. Ma Long and the others braced themselves to find their position: sixteenth place, hugging the floor, on the edge of elimination.
Everyone knows that every day from now on will be for real. They have to fight for points every day while also staying healthy. Once two or more members of a team lose their combat effectiveness, they will be directly eliminated.
The forty-fifth-ranked Hamal Jidao Team was eliminated for being at the bottom. Although they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. They were taken away by warriors and sent directly back to Earth. For them, it was truly a wasted trip, and the entire process was witnessed by the other forty-four teams.
In the past, the Mid-Season Tournament was actually a tug-of-war of various physical limits; this was almost a convention, but they were extra cautious about elimination. This year, it looks like they are cutting with a broad axe.
When the real results came out, all eyes and focus were still on top-tier teams like Beikarosai. The Tianjing Team, which had been flashy before departure, could only be said to be barely in the first-class ranks.
Instead, the Samode Team led by Wuxiya attracted a lot of attention. This only female member among the New Five Tigers has begun to radiate light.
Here, only strength can win respect.
