Chapter 293: Sea Dragon

~11 min read 2,101 words

The group exited the station and looked around; there should be people from Hailong there to meet them.

"Even if it were a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, I'd be impatient to go! This is my first time on the Moon, what a pity," Huo Ying said.

Ma Long patted Huo Ying, "It's fine, Old Huo, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Haha, it's my first time too. The environment here is truly good; no wonder so many people want to immigrate here." Everyone looked through the skylight at the Earth in the distance, that massive, azure-blue egg; the feeling was indeed quite refreshing.

"You're quite calm, have you been here before?" Zhou Naiyi asked.

"Ah, no, it's my first time." Li Hao shook his head. It was his first time setting foot on the ground, but he had been here in other ways.

Zhou Naiyi nodded, looked around, and saw the sign welcoming Tianjing Martial Arts, "On the left, the people from Hailong have arrived."

The group pushed their luggage and walked toward the direction of the sign. They had expected it to be people from the Hailong Student Union, but they ended up seeing Li Xiangshan.

Instantly, everyone was a bit confused. What was going on?

Could it be that they just looked alike???

Li Xiangshan, the most prestigious of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, had actually come in person to welcome them?

Li Xiangshan spotted Li Hao in the crowd at a glance; he was like a bright moon in the sky, making the stars look dim. There was no need to search for him at all. Of course, this was entirely Li Xiangshan's feeling; in truth, even he couldn't see anything special, and in the eyes of an average person, Li Hao probably looked about the same as Zuo Xiaotang.

Li Xiangshan took the initiative to walk up to them. Back in the days of Apocalypse, Li Xiangshan was a clear-headed person; his stance couldn't be changed, and he would fight however he had to, but having a respectable opponent was also a blessing in life.

"Welcome everyone to the Moon. I am Li Xiangshan. You can leave your luggage with us, please follow me this way," Li Xiangshan smiled. "Li Ge, long time no see."

Li Hao nodded, "Let's go."

Li Xiangshan smiled slightly; his emotions were even a bit stirred, but he swallowed the words that reached his lips.

Ma Long, who had originally wanted to brag and show off, also appeared a bit reserved. As for the others, there was no need to mention it; Li Xiangshan was one of the Heavy Armor users Huo Ying liked the most, a true S Tournament big shot.

Li Xiangshan didn't waste words. The students of Hailong were all sizing up Li Hao. Everyone else had traveled to Hailong on their own; only this Tianjing Martial Arts team had been met at the station. Not only that, but the Student Union Vice President Li Xiangshan had led the team himself—what a huge honor that was.

And this person was clearly younger; why would he be called "Li Ge"?

And this Earthling was really good at acting cool, actually just nodding and accepting it so grandly. It was too strange, but Li Xiangshan had great prestige, so the students of Hailong Academy endured it.

Girls are much more sensitive than boys. Zhou Naiyi had already witnessed Li Hao's status outside during the Mid-Season Tournament, but she hadn't expected it to be so useful even on the Moon... even more useful, in fact.

Tan Ziyuan, Sheng Man, and Lu Lingxiao were experiencing this for the first time, and they learned something new along the way. When Ma Long and Sheng Man had insisted on organizing a mixer, the first time they saw Li Hao, this guy had been late because he went to deliver food. Was the person who sat down and started eating back then the same one walking ahead with Li Xiangshan now?

Li Xiangshan, one of the Big Dipper Seven Stars and a top-tier god of the Lunar Military Academy, was extremely respectful in front of Li Hao. The impact of being a "local bully" on Earth versus his status outside was quite different.

Lu Lingxiao was very excited and wanted to say something, but Tan Ziyuan on the side pulled her gently. Lu Lingxiao stuck out her tongue; the Team Leader really seemed amazing, she couldn't understand it.

Li Xiangshan's aura was truly too heavy; everyone could see the respect the Hailong Academy students had for him. But looking at the academies, Tianjing Martial Arts was still a long way from Hailong, and they couldn't even figure out why Tianjing Martial Arts had been invited, so the group proceeded in this strange atmosphere.

Li Hao didn't speak, Li Xiangshan didn't speak, and it seemed no one else dared to speak either. Fortunately, the scenery outside the window was very beautiful. After so many years, the construction of the Moon had been realized in the direction of humanity's past fantasy cities. Virtually infinite solar energy completely adjusted the city's operation; it was efficient and environmentally friendly, reflecting the Moon's comprehensive strength.

Such a city was not just for show; all Lunar cities were integrated for both offense and defense. In wartime, they could switch to an attack posture at any time, energy could be mobilized at will, and the Moon was unified. Combined with the powerful defense of the Space City Chain, the Moon could be considered a super fortress.

Of course, none of this had been verified; it had only ever been a rumor.

The "Hai" in Hailong Academy was not the sea of Earth, but the sea of stars, implying a giant dragon roaming through the sea of stars.

Although they had only topped the Mid-Season Tournament this year, Hailong Academy had always been firmly in the top ten on the Moon, a solid top-tier academy with integrated software and hardware. Ma Long and the others were considered quite experienced, but once they saw the situation at Hailong Academy, they really felt like country bumpkins entering the city. There was no helping it; when the Moon was first built, it had to break the original shackles, aiming everything toward the most advanced concepts. It was very difficult at the beginning, but when it was finally completed, the power it displayed was something Earth and Mars could not catch up to.

"Li Ge, this is your dormitory. If you have any problems, you can call us. The other teams have all arrived. We will gather in the auditorium in half an hour. Welcome again to everyone participating in this exchange tournament," Li Xiangshan said.

"Thank you," Li Hao said.

"You're too polite." Li Xiangshan didn't linger and left with the others.

The group sized up the building in front of them, which was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, looking like a large ring-shaped mushroom. They were very curious, and as soon as Li Xiangshan and the others left, they couldn't hold back their impatience and entered the elevator one after another.

The elevator opened to a public area with a dining area, leisure area, media area, reading area, and activity area—everything was available. The top floor was the dormitory, with one room per person, about one hundred square meters each. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows was unobstructed, and at night, one could watch the starry sky.

The Moon was divided into two zones, Eternal Night and Eternal Day, but after modifications, the Eternal Night zone would also be given sunlight at regular intervals. Of course, it was all necessary; some special areas were forever shrouded in darkness, while the Eternal Day zone was the main residential area for Moon People. However, the day and night were controlled by the Daliven Firmament System to match human living habits.

On the Moon, the weather was also entirely artificially adjusted. Regular rain, snow, and the changes of the four seasons were all partitioned. From a certain perspective, the Moon had reached the utopia that humans had once dreamed of. Once one got used to life on the Moon, everywhere else felt like a primitive tribe.

The indoor lighting was also automatically adjusted, and the glass even had a virtual image function. As a veteran homebody, Zuo Xiaotang was very familiar with all kinds of homebody equipment. Under his adjustment, the glass light disappeared and instantly turned into the background of a concert scene, immersive. A moment later, it turned into a beach. He dragged a chair over, took off his clothes, opened a juice, and it was just like vacationing at the beach. The sound of the waves and the cries of the seagulls made the lazy Zuo Xiaopang want to take a nap.

Huo Ying lay spread-eagled on the big bed; it was simply incredible. How was this a dormitory? Comparing people to others only makes one angry; he wasn't convinced.

Ma Laoshi didn't forget to take a selfie at the first opportunity, never failing to update his daily sentiment. After posting it, he waited for replies. Hmph, hurry up and like, hurry up and comment, hurry up and envy me.

Even the boys were like this, let alone the girls. The girls were much more organized than the boys. They put down their things and immediately took a shower and changed clothes; they had to participate in activities later, and they absolutely could not lose in terms of image.

Sheng Man and the others might even need to put on some makeup; after all, they represented the beauty of Tianjing Martial Arts and couldn't lose. On the way here just now, those few Moon girls had been so arrogant, which had also stirred up their fighting spirit. They were ready to go, starting with a beautiful selfie; the sense of ritual in life could not be lacking.

Zhou Naiyi didn't have so many actions. She quickly finished showering and changed into a clean, neat school uniform. Facing the mirror, she clenched her fists, "Zhou Naiyi, come on!"

Someone had just finished sending a message and looked around, his sneaky behavior fully exposed. A Youyou was coming tomorrow too; just thinking about it made his heart feel like he had drunk honey.

"Aiyouyou, is it really okay for you to be so high-profile?"

"Senior, it's a bit better on the Moon side; the academy will be responsible for the control. When we meet, don't make any moves, let me handle everything," A Youyou smiled.

"You say that, and I feel a bit uneasy. Maybe we should just hide for now."

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of!" A Youyou pouted her little mouth. Li Hao felt like he was suffering from a continuous bombardment of beauty every day. When on the Moon, A Youyou basically didn't disguise herself.

A Youyou was worried that if things got too big, her family would punish her. Li Hao was worried that if things got too big, his roommates would destroy him.

Regardless, Su Yu was currently turning a blind eye, which still provided great convenience for the two of them. Li Hao had been mining very diligently recently, but he hadn't had any gains. It was impossible to enter the cave without making a sound; every time was a fierce battle. He could handle it, but the Giant Insect he possessed couldn't. These damn bugs were targeting him.

Difficult as it was, he still had to find a way to get the items; it would just take time.

The half-hour passed quickly, and everyone gathered on the first floor. Everyone looked brand new. The group looked at Li Hao—his hair was messy, and it felt like he hadn't done anything at all.

Waiting below were the Hailong girls who had come to welcome Tianjing. Moon girls carried a natural air of refinement; they were slender and very beautiful, and their clothes accentuated this temperament. "Everyone, please follow me."

Ma Long clicked his tongue and nudged Wuzang, "This figure, it's really nice. Old Four, consider it. I feel like you're not interested in Earth girls; Moon ones are fine too."

Wuzang couldn't laugh or cry and shook his head.

"You can't be like this, you have to be enlightened. The power of love is very great. Tell me, what kind do you like? I'll help you find one. You have to believe in your teacher; even someone like Hao Ge can find one."

Wuzang's gaze was firm, "Not needed!"
