Chapter 291: Idol Meet-and-Greet

Don't be so absolute; the top three of every major theater actually have a chance at winning the championship. Besides strength, it also depends on a certain amount of luck. Whether the Second Brother's teammates can keep up with the rhythm is still a question.

Xilian's lineup is entirely composed of Shadow Scout mainstays. As long as they are at full strength, there is currently no team that can shake them. Although Aofei has confidence in Li Hao, she remains calm; the situation is not optimistic.

It is mainly Li Hao's stubbornness. If he were willing to join the Round Table Knights, she could serve as vice-captain. This lineup is better than Tianjing no matter how you look at it.

In the Mid-Season Tournament, Tianjing was indeed ninth, but everyone knows the truth about this ninth place. Facing certain key matchups, everyone was calculating scores to play. After all, Li Ge's team had to get in somehow. It's not that Tianjing isn't strong, but rather that it isn't worthy of Li Ge.

Only peers truly understand the strength of their peers.

Xilian coming here this time is also to test the waters. It can be said that the strength of Zhou Naiyi, Wuzang, and the others will soon be thoroughly analyzed by Hailong's tactical team. But not coming would be useless; they would be seen through during the S Tournament qualifiers anyway. Discovering the problems now still allows time to find solutions.

Aofei also doesn't know what Li Hao is thinking. Over these five years, Li Hao's personality has undergone a earth-shaking change.

That cold, ruthless, and uncompromising Mawang from back then has become gentle as water and full of patience.

His strength is beyond doubt, but on the ever-changing battlefield, Aofei is a bit worried because the opponent is Xilian.

Of course, if Li Hao's life goal is just this kind of life, then it is understandable.

But Aofei always feels an indescribable sense of frustration; he should be the person standing at the very top.

Regardless, he participated, which is better than not participating. Aofei can only try to think of the positive side.

"For these two exchange matches, everyone keep your spirits up. I don't know what Xilian is planning, but it's nine-to-one a trap. If you discover anything, tell me immediately."

"Don't worry, Team Leader. Brother Li is our idol. Who cares about Xilian or 'Laxian'!"

Muni and the others have also been won over. No amount of hearsay is as good as seeing it for oneself. The battle between Li Hao and Chao Qinglong directly overturned the worldview of the non-Apocalypse members.

Among the Four Great Federations, the weakest is TAS. It was already weak, and the Space City Chain that nominally belongs to TAS actually listens to the Moon.

The reason it was combined with Titan in the first place was for Earth and Mars to check and balance the Moon.

But the construction, economy, and military of the entire Space City Chain are closely linked to the Moon. This nominal separation is really just for show.

In essence, Titan has always been marginalized and has no real say in the Solar System Alliance Council.

Its economy and resources are restricted, relying mainly on mineral deposits for exchange. For so many years, Titan has been seeking a re-evaluation of its political status.

As the source of the most Heavy Armor Warriors for the Solar System Alliance military, they endure the most hardship.

They are stationed at the very front, yet they receive the worst treatment. They yearn to be respected.

The S Tournament is an important stage. In recent years, the Titan team has no longer been ignored.

Indeed, the Titan team does not have the strength to win the championship, but it is indeed the biggest stumbling block. The Martians who won the S8 championship were arrogant beyond compare, as if the entire Galaxy couldn't contain Mars.

However, while there was the sudden emergence of the War God in S9, another reason was that when the Martians mentioned Titan in a pre-tournament interview, they directly told the reporter to change the question; the Titans weren't even worth a single question.

This triggered a desperate sniping from Titan. Even if the Martians could win the match, their injury rate rose sharply. This damage directly affected their overall combat effectiveness.

So much so that in the finals, they were swept by Maxis's team, and the Martians were beaten to a pulp.

Through this battle, the Titans also found their own positioning and style. Even if they can't win the championship, they will fight whoever they don't like to the death, and they can still display momentum and Glory.

And let's just say, in various competitions, after the Titans adopted this style, their results improved, making those who didn't take them seriously behave themselves.

Of course, they were also called "troublemakers" by opponents who hated the Titans.

Hailong Academy.

The Wailing Academy base, among the uniform tall and sturdy Titan warriors over two meters tall.

A girl about 1.8 meters tall with a devilish figure; the corners of the girl's mouth unconsciously carry a sexy and arrogant smile.

The number one person on Titan, Yintai Dumeila, the well-deserved big sister. A group of warriors had just finished their warm-up training.

"Boss, basically everyone is here. I heard Tianjing Martial Arts arrives this afternoon."

"Very good. Don't arrange any training for the afternoon; I'll take you to meet Li Ge." Dumeila nodded.

"Boss, is that guy really that strong? Honestly, I'm not convinced. I want to test him in this exchange match." A team member with a youthful face, a buzz cut, and asymmetrical steel muscles was quite unconvinced, but looked at Dumeila with admiration.

Adila has super high popularity on Titan. He is handsome in clothes, domineering without them, and has the looks to pull off a buzz cut.

He is an absolute heartthrob on Titan and this year's number one Supernova on Titan.

"Tianjing Martial Arts, only ranked ninth in this year's Mid-Season Tournament. Doesn't feel like they're hard to beat."

As the number one team in the Titan Mid-Season Tournament, the team members are full of confidence. Dumeila is their Team Leader, their idol, the goddess they swear to defend with their lives.

Although it is difficult for Titan to win the championship, their true strength is definitely a guaranteed top eight. The top eight of this World Championship is a planetary distance stronger than the ninth place of the Mid-Season Tournament.

"What are you guys shouting about? Our boss is mainly sentimental; it has nothing to do with strength."

Pressuring Jintaisabisen in the Mid-Season Tournament brought the team members' emotions to a peak. Being the only team from Titan invited this time, their pride is normal.

Dumeila didn't hear what they were talking about at all; her memory returned to five years ago.

Time passes so quickly. She is going to see Li Ge again. She wonders what he looks like now. Thinking about it, she became a bit lost in thought.

The arrogant Wailing team members looked at their leader's glowing eyes, and their inner dissatisfaction soared. Why? That little chick from Earth?

A group of howling, overconfident Titan hunks suddenly felt unbalanced.

Even if he is strong, so what? Can he compare to the boss? Can he compare to Fan Liweite? Romero?

The team members know this person came from Apocalypse and was once very strong, but how strong could he be?

Unconvinced!

Strongly unconvinced!

Make trouble!

Must make trouble!

Dumeila didn't pay attention to the team members' situation. Her eyes swept over them, and each member subconsciously avoided her gaze.

"For this exchange match, spar well with the teams from other federations. We cannot lose our Titan momentum."

"I'd like to see just how strong the Heavenly King Fan Liweite really is!"

"Earth didn't even invite Chao Qinglong. Fortunately, Romero and Basta from Mars are here; there's something to fight for."

A so-called exchange match is not that easy to organize. Especially inviting the first-place teams from the Mid-Season Tournament of each theater; such a big effort is not something an S-level academy that just entered can accomplish. Of course, one reason is to experience the latest transcendent Mecha, but this is not necessary.

Dumeila knows, Romero knows, and Basta understands. There is no need to mention Aofei and the others. As for the inside of Shadow Scout, outsiders don't know clearly. It feels like the situation with Maxis and Fan Liweite is a bit like Chao Qinglong on Earth. Five years have passed, and many things have changed.

However, it is unlikely that they are hostile, but it is also unlikely that Xilian can be persuaded; overall, the Moon's lineup is still relatively massive.

And the key is still Xilian Meraphis.

She came this time partly to see Li Hao, and partly to observe the situation; by witnessing it with her own eyes, she could evaluate the landscape of this S Tournament.

She did not know how much Xilian had recovered, or what kind of state Li Ge was in.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, Li Ge's temper isn't very good."

Dumela smiled, thinking that letting them see the world would certainly be beneficial.

As for Li Hao's comeback, she was still very confident.

"Boss, as if we have good tempers!"

"Yeah, if he wants us to respect him, he has to show us a thing or two; that's the rule of our Titan, otherwise it makes it seem like we aren't men."

"Exactly, exactly, real men have to speak with their fists; a hero doesn't dwell on past glories!"

The team members spoke up one after another, and Dumela nodded with a smile, thinking that with his magnanimity, he wouldn't stoop to the level of the younger generation, and it would be good for them to broaden their horizons.

At this moment, the Skynet communicator rang; she tapped it open, and it was Gangtaisai Butan.

"You've all settled in, right?" Saibutan smiled; everyone was an old acquaintance.

The team members also greeted him one after another; the relationship between Giant God Peak and Wailing was quite good, and Gangtaisai Butan was also an elder brother figure, with a status somewhat like Li Xiangshan's on the Moon, and he was also quite forthright and broad-minded.

Dumela nodded, "Everyone else has arrived, Li Ge arrives this afternoon."

"Give him my regards, I hope to run into Li Ge in the S Tournament—never mind, with my level, I'd better not run into him," Saibutan laughed, not feeling embarrassed in the slightest.

"Li Ge has it a bit tough this time, very, very tough; back then he was surrounded by Hunters, now he is surrounded by prey. Fortunately, Ant is here, it just depends on how much Ant has recovered. I feel that with Li Ge's personality, there must be some sort of ambush hidden within."

"Haha, after all, he is Li Mo. Still, one must be careful of Xilian; this person does things by taking one step and seeing three steps ahead. This is definitely not just an exchange tournament; having prepared for so many years, if he doesn't pull off something big this time, I wouldn't believe it even if a ghost told me." Saibutan said, he still felt these two were more terrifying—it might be intuition, but it was also the intuition of a strong person.

"I'm aware," Dumela smiled, "If there's any big event, I'll leave you a message to satisfy your curiosity."

Saibutan laughed and gave a thumbs up; the Wind and Phase are gathering.

Others might need an exchange tournament to understand the different styles of each federation, but Xilian really doesn't; even if he did need an exchange tournament, there would be no need for such fanfare—couldn't they just arrange an exchange tournament privately?

She and Romero and the others came, to a large extent, not for the exchange tournament or the extraordinary Mecha—those were just extras—but mainly to see what Xilian wanted to do, especially since Li Hao was also there; it definitely wouldn't be a small matter, so how could they miss such an event?
