Chapter 280: Shadow Scout

It's shattered beyond repair...

Ma Long slowly opened his mouth wide. Damn it, is he really that fierce?

He uses Mental Blast too, but it's quite difficult to blast a balloon; it's very easy to just send the balloon drifting away, but it won't explode directly. Even when he finally manages to pop one, it's never this uniform.

What the hell is this Thunder Five-Burst?

"What about Intimidation?" Zhou Naiyi asked, her eyes filled with seriousness.

Cheng Konghai hesitated for a moment. Zhou Naiyi felt a bit embarrassed, "If it's inconvenient, then forget it, it's fine. I just wanted to understand a little."

"It's not that. I don't have very good control right now and I'm afraid of an accident. These two senior sisters don't seem to be the combat type," Cheng Konghai hurriedly waved his hands.

"Little Hai, can't you just release it in one direction!" Ma Long was still very curious.

Cheng Konghai scratched his head, "My ability is an indiscriminate area-of-effect attack."

"Forget it, let's wait until Hao Ge comes back. We might not necessarily be able to withstand his Intimidation ability," Wuzang suddenly said.

"Wuzang, isn't that a bit exaggerated? I wasn't scared to death," Ma Long curled his lips.

"Stupid, Wuzang means you can't withstand it," Sheng Man said. Wuzang's resistance definitely wouldn't be a problem.

The television screen in the training room began to scroll through reports about Xilian again. The press conference was just an introduction; there was a lot of follow-up content, such as the fact that as long as the pilot of the God Series Super Mecha reaches the level of Burning Will, they can fully control the mecha's ability to fly freely, conducting all-weather combat in the true sense.

On the screen, a flight stunt performance of a Thunderfire Tyrant was shown. This kind of aerial mobility completely breaks through the Heavenly Machine. Conventional Mecha, even those with better performance, only have hovering and low-altitude flight capabilities, which actually don't have much significance in combat. Now, the Super Mecha has filled this one and only weakness.

A true Super Mecha has been born.

The pilot interview was with Klein, a starting team member of this year's Sea Dragon S-level Military Academy. He was a cute, silver-haired youth with a strong idol vibe. It was clear that this handsome and cute boy was a bit shy—an absolute pure-desire style young man.

Cheng Konghai watched quietly.

"What, do you know him?" Zhou Naiyi said casually, "This is a member of the NUP's Mid-Season Tournament championship team this year."

Cheng Konghai nodded, "Klein, I thought he was dead."

Ma Long and the others wanted to gossip a bit, but this sentence almost choked them to death. Why do people from Tianqi talk about life and death so casually?

"Is he very strong?" Ma Long asked.

"He beat me to a pulp, but I also almost took his life. Not a loss," Cheng Konghai's slightly pale face glowed with brilliance.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling more and more that this Tianqi Youth Class was simply a concentration camp for lunatics. What is all this?

"So, Anlita, Davarishi, Li Xiangshan, and Xila in their lineup are also members of Tianqi?"

"Yes, the few strongest ones in the Shadow Scout. Li Xiangshan is a bit lacking," Cheng Konghai said very seriously, "Especially Anlita and Davarishi; they are Danger Level."

Li Xiangshan... is still a bit lacking???

"What is the Shadow Scout?" Wuzang asked.

"We have Hunters, the Moon People have the Shadow Scout, and the Martians have the Wolf Soul," Cheng Konghai replied.

"Why does what you say sound like an adventure story? Aren't the strongest on the Moon Fan Liweite and Maxis, plus the Big Dipper Seven Stars?" Ma Long grinned. This gossip could be written into a story, just not sure if it could be posted on a blog.

"Fan Liweite and Maxis are quite strong, Team Leader level in the Shadow Scout. What is the Big Dipper Seven Stars?"

"Heavenly Machine Laika, Heavenly Pivot Pegelosa, Heavenly Axis Zhu Hongye, Opening Light Luo Ning, Shaking Light Yabiji... they are the top-tier fierce people in the NUP right now!"

Cheng Konghai was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and thought for a good while, "Ah, I don't have a deep impression. A few of them seem to only count as 'so-so'; there aren't any particularly good fighters."

Ma Long and the others looked at each other. Is Cheng Konghai just too strong, or is his tone too big? It feels like they aren't living in the same world.

"Ant, you're bragging again."

Li Hao's voice rang out, and he was carrying several large boxes of pizza.

Cheng Konghai immediately stood up, looked at Li Hao, and a bright smile appeared on his face, "Second Brother, I'm back."

Li Hao gave Cheng Konghai a big hug and patted Cheng Konghai's shoulder, "It's good that you're back. I brought you something delicious."

As he spoke, he pointed to the large stack of pizzas on the table, "Rest for a while. Sister Yi, don't glare at me, I wasn't slacking off. Everyone has met, right? Cheng Konghai, our new Heavy Armor Warrior for Tianjing Martial Arts. Don't look at his thin and weak appearance; he's got strength. Just leave the heavy work to him... Why are you all making that face? Ant, what did you do?"

"Li Hao, how many more experts like this are there?" Zhou Naiyi asked. Honestly, during this period, experts have been emerging one after another. Coupled with Li Hao's unique status in the Mid-Season Tournament, those powerhouses they usually have to look up to were actually trembling in front of Li Hao. While Zhou Naiyi and the others felt proud and honored, they also felt inferior.

Hunter Captain level—this is probably even stronger than the New Five Tigers. It feels like they aren't needed anymore; they could just be swapped out to form a more combat-effective team. Their existence is purely a drag.

Li Hao couldn't laugh or cry, "What are you talking about? This guy is an orphan like me. After Tianqi disbanded, he just wandered around all day. This time, I specifically begged the Principal to use a special admission quota. Although it's through the back door, don't bully the newcomer. From now on, this is his home. This kid doesn't know how to talk much, but he is absolutely reliable," Li Hao said.

There is a type of person in this world who exists because they are needed.

That is exactly Cheng Konghai.

A beautiful, short-haired girl with an excellent temperament appeared on the TV—Anlita, the Vice Captain of the Hailong Team. She was very beautiful, very tall, and very cool, "Because the new type of mecha is still in the experimental testing stage, Hailong Academy, in the spirit of sharing, will invite two teams from the Four Great War Zones to experience it together..."

"What does that mean? Are they that nice?" Ma Long felt it was a bit unbelievable. Because of Xilian, Hailong Academy definitely has the advantage of being close to the water; they can experience the new mecha first. And they're sharing it?

The spots are limited, so there will inevitably be another round of scrambling. When it comes to playing with resources, Xilian is an expert, only compared to the past, he is even slicker now.

Li Hao knew that this should be Xilian's answer. He invited him to help and went through such a big circle, obviously to cover up the truth. It seems he really discovered something.

The sentence Xilian said halfway through still caught Li Hao's attention: a signal has been continuously coming out from the Wormhole.

Coming out—what is being transmitted? Transmitted to where? Who is transmitting it?

I have to say, he was tempted too. Could it be related to Blee?

Up to now, Li Hao still cannot find any trace of Blee. Perhaps this is an opportunity. This is also the reason Li Hao agreed, but Xilian will definitely not be as simple as he said. There is no room for maneuver between the two of them. Unless it's a last resort, Xilian wouldn't look for him. It can only be said that what Xilian wants is bigger and more.

However, he couldn't refuse.

"Li Hao, don't blame yourself. Even if we can't experience it in advance, if the S Tournament really adopts the Super Mecha, it will also give us enough time to get familiar with it. This isn't just one team's business," Zhou Naiyi comforted him. Although everyone didn't know the details, they knew that Li Hao and Xilian were smiling on the surface but were actually at odds.

It's just that the way of thinking of a super-rich person like Xilian is a bit different from ordinary people.

"Ah, it's fine. We are going too, the appearance fee has already been collected," Li Hao laughed, "I'm thinking about something else."

"Are you two enemies or friends?" Ma Long was a bit unsure. And there's such a good thing.

"Enemies wouldn't count; rivals, perhaps. There is definitely a purpose, but for now, it looks like a good thing. And this person has one biggest advantage: he isn't stingy, haha," Li Hao laughed, "Let's tighten up our training."

"In other words, experts from Mars and Titan will also come at that time?" Sheng Man suddenly felt like she really wanted to go. How lively that must be. Many media outlets might also arrive on the scene. As a student of the Journalism Department, Sheng Man hadn't experienced such a big scene before, "Then..."

"... can we go?"

Li Hao shrugged, "Don't ask me, you have to ask your Ma Laoshi."

"Ma Laoshi, can I go?" Sheng Man smiled enchantingly, linking her arm with Ma Long's.

"Well, let me see... ah, ouch, ouch! Okay, okay, I'll go!" Ma Long's waist was pinched again. Sigh, it was tough; he felt like he would be beaten to a pulp and lose all face once he got there.

"Would it be a bother?" Tan Ziyuan hesitated slightly.

"What bother? Ziyuan, don't always think about someone else. This guy has plenty of influence, and besides, I've never been shopping on the Moon!" Sheng Man said, frustrated by his lack of ambition; one shouldn't be too good to men.

"It's no bother. The Mid-Season Tournament is closed-off, but for the subsequent training or exchange matches, everyone will be together. The budget is ample. This trip to the Moon is fully covered by Hailong, and we'll bring Huo Ying along too."

"The news said the Meraphis Family donated ten billion to Hailong before the Mid-Season Tournament. Do they just print money at home?" Ma Long was speechless seeing this news; even throwing money around shouldn't be done like this.

"Pretty much. This money wasn't donated for nothing; it brings many benefits," Sheng Man laughed. "To be able to manage a great family at this age, one is no ordinary person."

Girls like Sheng Man were actually quite precocious, and her family background was decent; her parents had discussed political matters with her since she was young. Although her family only saw things through a glass darkly, she had no trouble understanding them, and her logical thinking was sound. A young person could not fully control a vast Empire just because they were the heir by blood; there were many ways to be sidelined. When the interests were large enough, murder and arson were nothing at all, yet Xilian remained unscathed and could still control the family's capital allocation and do as he pleased. There was more to this than met the eye; one shouldn't judge people solely by their faces.

As for this type of donation, where in this world were there so many pure donations?
