Chapter 283: A Certain Kind of Person
Huo Ying is back; lying in the hospital for recuperation every day was truly too unbearable for him. In any case, he reports in every day, and after finishing his treatment, he goes back to help the team. He is now the head captain of the cheerleading squad, but unlike before, he receives respect wherever he goes. After all, he is the man who carried the Tianjing Mecha team into the Mid-Season Tournament. He has also adapted very well to his current role; Huo Ying is just a Tianjing man with simple, clear goals and a broad mind.
The noon physical and balloon training finished, and the group gathered in a circle to eat. Li Hao had run off somewhere again.
"Ant, hurry and tell us about the Team Leader. I heard Xilian also came; are you all going to the Moon?" Huo Ying felt like he had missed out on a lot of exciting things. Anyway, as long as it wasn't strenuous exercise, his physique could still handle it.
"Hao Ge said he'd take you along," Ma Long said.
"Ah, really... but I still need treatment, the doctor said it can't be interrupted..." Huo Ying loved joining in the fun too much, but although he couldn't make it for this S11, he still wanted to make a comeback in the next one.
"It's fine, the medical conditions on the Moon are better. Our Team Leader's abilities are unfathomable; sometimes you just have to push yourself," Zhou Naiyi smiled slightly. "Hailong Academy will make the arrangements."
As an S-rank academy on the Moon, their facilities and conditions are a grade higher than those on Earth.
"Tell us, tell us," Ma Long was dying of discomfort. He really wanted to post a message saying his roommate was the Puppet; it would definitely be a hit overnight, but he felt he would be beaten to death by Sheng Man. He was a bit too impatient.
Cheng Konghai scratched his head. "I don't really know what to say. Actually, it was just a brawl between the four major camps. At that time, we were evenly matched with the Moon, and Mars was actually just average."
"Damn it, Mars is arrogant as hell now, rubbing us into the dirt. The scale of the Tianqi back then seems to have been huge; how come I've never heard of it?" Ma Long curled his lip.
"Do you count as a genius?" Sheng Man said abruptly.
"I don't count as a genius?" Ma Long said proudly. "Hao Ge even said my healing talent is in a league of its own."
"You actually believe that!" Sheng Man wouldn't be polite to her own man; roasting him was a daily routine.
"Mental healing ability is truly rare and very powerful," Cheng Konghai said sincerely. "Actually, when it comes to combat, the one who survives to the end is the winner."
"Look, listen, this is affirmation from the Hunter Captain. I told you, if they hadn't failed to discover me back then, if they had, the Hunters would have one more captain!"
The girls couldn't help but laugh; Ma Long was the type who would climb to the sky if you gave him a pole.
"How come I feel like everyone in the Mid-Season Tournament is quite afraid of Li Hao? Mad Dog Perkins is famous for being ruthless and has been fierce since he debuted. Has Li Hao done something?" This was the part Zhou Naiyi couldn't figure out; being powerful doesn't necessarily make people afraid.
"Actually, Second Brother didn't belong to any camp at first; he was a lone wolf. But in Tianqi, that wasn't allowed. Aside from Titan, which didn't participate in the fighting due to numbers, the Mars, Moon, and our camps fought very fiercely. And Tianqi also deliberately created this atmosphere of intense competition. Second Brother's maverick nature was actually even less tolerated. In such situations, you either join or you get wiped out," Cheng Konghai said with a bitter smile.
Everyone looked at each other; were a bunch of brats really that crazy?
But thinking about it, it seemed that precisely because they were at that age, they were even more unscrupulous and reckless. "And then?"
"Facing a troublemaker, we used all sorts of abilities and all kinds of overt and covert tricks, but we couldn't beat him and even got messed up badly. Later, I don't know what method Brother Yuhang used to persuade Second Brother, so Second Brother joined, and then the Hunters were formed, and then the balance was broken." A trace of a smile appeared on Cheng Konghai's face; he... still missed it.
He also learned about what happened back then from Kevin. Kevin said the strongest camp often collapses from within. Actually, in terms of results, Xilian won, but the biggest beneficiaries were the Martians; otherwise, there wouldn't have been the rapid development of the Martians in these past few years.
Back then, how could the Martians be mentioned in the same breath as Earth and the Moon? Now, the Martians are already clamoring to be the boss.
"How did you all train back then to be so powerful now?" Tan Ziyuan asked.
Cheng Konghai scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. "This..."
"Ziyuan, don't
ask. Back then, it must have exceeded the law. The Alliance had a gag order, and many forms of training were prohibited," Zhou Naiyi smiled. "What we ask, you can tell us what you can; if you can't, it's fine. We just want to understand. Like Xilian's lineup this time, many team members hadn't been heard of before, yet they suddenly appeared and were very strong. What level were they before?"
"Anlita, Davarish, Klein, and Xila—those four are the core of the Shadow Sentinels and also the main combat force. The one who left me severely injured was Klein. Of course, he didn't have it easy either. If there's a chance, I still want to spar with him," Cheng Konghai said lightly, but everyone felt the heavy battle intent.
"From the fragmented information, Xilian should be someone who plans and strategizes, taking one step while seeing three. He had long since awakened and was actually waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback. People like Anlita should have been maintaining their training status," Zhou Naiyi analyzed.
"Yes, from the current state, I have already fallen behind," Cheng Konghai said. "Those four must have reached the stage of Flowing Heart Martial Arts."
The atmosphere in the training room suddenly froze. Ma Laoshi's little bit of confidence as a healer was about to be blown away. "How is everyone at the Flowing Heart Martial Arts level???"
"This isn't five Chao Qinglongs; how are we supposed to fight?"
"That's not it. Anlita and Third Brother are about the same; Third Brother is still a bit stronger than us, but if Mechas are used, the impact of this gap on the outcome will be reduced quite a bit," Cheng Konghai said seriously. "Mecha combat has more uncertain factors. Of course, I'm referring to the current Mecha system, not the Super Mechas. Their weakness is Li Xiangshan."
Everyone was left speechless. Since when did someone like Li Xiangshan, a top-tier Heavy Armor pilot whose experience and ability are at the pinnacle, become a weakness?
"Hao Ge's heart is truly big. With such strong opponents, he actually still has the mind to wander around?" Ma Long couldn't help but complain. "Naiyi, you don't manage him either? Wouldn't it be more effective to have him help us train?"
"Yeah, Naiyi, I feel like the Team Leader listens to you more," Huo Ying also nodded. He was also listening with surging blood; how magnificent and heroic the Tianqi of those years must have been. He wanted to go up and charge into battle himself.
"Cough, cough, I don't know how to put it either. Brother Kevin said that Second Brother's way of looking at problems is different from ours. Regarding Xilian, he must have made preparations," Cheng Konghai said.
"Kevin, who is he?"
"He is not the same kind of person as us; his identity needs to be kept secret."
"Then among the Mars Three Wolves, who is more powerful? It was so unexpected that the Wolf King lost to the Lone Wolf Romero this year," Huo Ying asked.
"The three of them have always been about the same, but now I think Romero is a bit more powerful. In that battle between him and Second Brother, he clearly hid his strength. He's at least at the Flowing Heart Martial Arts level, perhaps even reached the Soul Origin. He probably wanted to personally read Second Brother's combat methods. He had the ability to read others before; now it should have undergone a secondary evolution. Just this courage alone puts him half a step ahead of the others."
Zuo Xiaotang finally couldn't help it. "Why do I feel like your way of thinking isn't like normal people? It's just playing a match; you play it, and that's it. How can there be so many thoughts?"
Cheng Konghai smiled embarrassedly. "We aren't very normal. Zuoge, you are the same kind of person as us."
Everyone froze and looked at Zuo Xiaotang in surprise. Zuo Xiaotang hurriedly waved his hands. "It has nothing to do with me; I'm definitely a normal person."
Cheng Konghai smiled and didn't explain.
"Was Romero's eye really injured by Li Hao?" Sheng Man asked curiously.
"It wasn't exactly injured by a strike. Romero has an eye-based ability. He overdrawn himself while fighting Second Brother, overloading his reading, which is why his eyes were ruined. This guy is also a daredevil; he held on hard for quite a while back then. If he were intact, he would definitely be the strongest in Mars."
"What about Titan? What level is Yintai Dumela at?"
"Titan still has a good relationship with us. If Titan had joined Xilian's side back then, we would have been finished. It is said that it was because Dumela firmly remained neutral that they didn't join. It seems she doesn't like family scions like Xilian and Nangong Yuhang. Titan was a colony planet before; they actually resent those high-and-mighty people," Cheng Konghai said everything he knew. As a core member of the Hunters back then, he knew at least half of it, if not everything.
It's half past.
"That's true. Look at their academy names—if it's not Abyss, it's Nightmare, or Wailing, as if they are constantly reminding people of something," Sheng Man nodded. The colonial era is old news; Earthlings don't really empathize, but for the people of Titan, the pain hasn't disappeared, and perhaps it never will.
"Dumela's strength is first-class, and her ability is top-tier. With the appearance of K23, her ability will have great potential. She is probably at the top ten level in the Solar System," Cheng Konghai thought for a while and said.
"I don't know why, but I feel like I should properly develop my healer function and switch to a different track," Ma Long muttered. If this weren't a competition, he felt he would be beaten to death as soon as he stepped onto the field.
"Then what about Xilian? How strong is he? Can Li Hao beat him?" Tan Ziyuan asked a question everyone wanted to know.
"I don't know, I really don't know," Cheng Konghai said after a moment of silence.
"Didn't Li Hao win back then?"
"Back then, Xilian had already killed Brother Yuhang before fighting Second Brother. Before the battle, we really felt that Brother Yuhang and Xilian were evenly matched," Cheng Konghai said helplessly. "Xilian's scheming is too deep. Of course, I think Second Brother is still stronger, but the current situation has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to back then. Who wins and who loses, perhaps only they will know after they fight."
Ma Long suddenly felt that it would be great if Xilian's persona were applied to him—handsome, tall, rich, and with unparalleled talent. If he had such a background, why would he struggle? Wouldn't it be great to open a harem and embrace everyone? As he thought about it, his eyebrows twitched, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Hiss~~~~
"Manman, why are you stepping on me?"
"You were just thinking about something you shouldn't have!"
Ma Long suddenly shuddered and shifted over one seat; could it be that Manman also has an ability???
