Chapter 299: I Will Hold Them Accountable

"What are you staring at? The three of us are together. That's Heavenly King Fan Liweite, don't tell me you don't want to go up and take a group photo," Sheng Man laughed.

For girls, an S Tournament champion is the most prestigious thing to have on one's social media feed, so chasing stars a little is inevitable. Of course, this excludes the fact that Sheng Man was deliberately stimulating Ma Long's competitive spirit; this man needs to be prodded to unleash his potential.

Ma Laoshi rolled his eyes, feeling a bit worked up, "Hmph, sooner or later I will become an existence on his level!"

"Ma Laoshi, go for it!" Lu Lingxiao teased, "The universe's number one wet nurse!"

Ma Long, who had been in a fierce Zhang Fei-like state, suddenly deflated. Damn it, this is definitely where talent limits his room for performance. Starting at ten times gravity—how can people like this even be considered human? These animals don't leave anyone a way to live.

"Tch, I'm waiting for Arths. Only the goddess is worth us begging for a group photo, right, Brother Zuo!" Ma Long certainly couldn't spoil the girls.

Zuo Xiaotang nodded desperately, but immediately felt a bit uneasy, "Is this okay? Won't it disturb Arths? Didn't they say earlier that we shouldn't harass her?"

"Look at you, we are all high-quality male fans. We aren't forcing anything. If someone else goes up, why can't we go up and try? It's fine, just follow my lead when the time comes!"

If we can take a group photo and post it on social media, it will make those people who are about to explode on the spot suffer another soul-crushing blow. Hehehehe.

"Ma Long, your laugh is so sleazy."

"Pfft, Sister Naiyi, this is self-hypnosis, a method of spiritual victory."

"Li Wu, you really are quite free."

"Class Monitor, who provoked you this time? I am obediently thinking about our grand development plan!"

"Hehe, I can't be bothered with you. Where is Cheng Konghai?"

"I don't know, that kid is elusive."

"Don't worry about him, he has some personal grudges that need to be resolved," Li Wu laughed.

Zhou Naiyi was a bit worried, "Won't something happen?"

"It won't. Since we've arrived, we've set the boundaries. If there are any accidents, I will hold them accountable," Li Hao said with a smile.

Sheng Man and the others all revealed strange expressions. When a joke is no longer a joke, the flavor changes.

"Hao Ge, you have a pretty good relationship with Team Leader Dita. Can you ask her to pull some strings and let Arths take a group photo with us?" Ma Long's eyes darted around, "I heard they are relatives?"

Li Wu felt a bit awkward.

"Alright, Team Leader Dita is currently angry at him; it's a miracle she hasn't beaten him up yet," Zhou Naiyi said. A perfectly good training match opponent was ruined just like that by Li Hao.

"I'm innocent, I don't know if you believe me or not," Li Wu raised his hands helplessly.

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from outside, followed by a chaotic din... Was it an earthquake?

Arths~~~~~~~~~~~

Ah.

The top experts who were originally training instantly started putting on an act, one by one casually putting down what they were holding. The two people sparring separated with a heavy punch, and even those inside the EMPs stopped and walked out one after another. Dumela and the others, who were experiencing the super mechas, also gave up their precious experience time.

Su Yu had arrived with Arths. Confidentiality work had been done beforehand, and they traveled light, but they were still discovered upon arrival. Fortunately, they slipped away quickly and finally made it into the training ground.

Dita had already brought her team members over at the first opportunity to separate the others. She didn't think it would be much better inside, and she kicked Alzi and the others along the way. What are these stinky brats spacing out for!

Arths was in a silver-white military uniform, already beautiful beyond reason. The shock of seeing her in person was even more intense.

Fan Liweite had already rushed out excitedly. That arrogant Heavenly King now wore a breeze-like smile on his face; it was for her that he tolerated Xilian.

The first time they met was when he received the S Tournament MVP award. At first sight, it felt like a lifetime. He determined that Arths was his other half, and only Arths was worthy of him.

"Little Miss Arths, long time no see. Welcome to the military academy family," Fan Liweite took the initiative to greet her with his Eternal Team members. He wore a gentlemanly smile, but his actions were a bit like a guest usurping the host's role.

"Team Leader Fan Liweite, hello. I am a new recruit; our Team Leader Dita still has to carry the flag," Arths said politely.

"If Miss Arths has any matters, just give the order; I am very willing to be of service. Team Leader Dita, we are also old friends, we can communicate more. When it comes to mechas, Eternal is the best; we have many common topics," Fan Liweite said confidently.

Dita had all sorts of internal monologues. So now they're old friends? In the past, when Tianxing wanted to schedule a team match with Eternal, they could only wait until Eternal was as empty as could be. Now, things have changed, but there's no helping it; Eternal is indeed the team currently ranked first overall.

"Team Leader Fan Liweite, you should have a good memory; friends should help each other," Dita stood out as she saw others gathering, "Everyone, Arths is just an ordinary member of our Tianxing. Please ensure her freedom of movement, otherwise, she will be unable to continue staying here."

"We are all Miss Arths' fans, why can Fan Liweite go over!"

"They know each other, and you know each other too, don't nag at me!" Dita knew she couldn't spoil these people, or else things would get out of hand later.

Although Su Yu wasn't very close to Dita, she truly appreciated Dita's crisp and efficient way of doing things. She was worthy of being from the Daliven Family.

Anlita also appeared from somewhere, "Everyone, please observe order, otherwise you will be expelled from the exchange tournament. Little Miss Arths' safety at Hailong Academy is guaranteed by Hailong. You are all Elites of the mecha world, so I'll say it again: unless Little Miss Arths takes the initiative, please continue your own training."

Regardless, everyone present was a person of status. No matter how much they wanted to, they still had to show some restraint. Thinking about it, it would be too unsightly if everyone rushed up.

However, that shameless Anlita took the opportunity to bring her team members up to introduce themselves, and because they were girls, Su Yu didn't stop them.

"Little Miss Arths, Team Leader Xilian has important matters to attend to. I am in charge of Hailong's side; you can come to me for anything," Anlita smiled, her eyes flashing with a strange luster.

A Youyou smiled lightly, "Thank you." Her gaze swept around, and she had already found Tianjing Martial Arts in the crowd, seeing someone... still blinking.

With the support of the three major Moon Battle Teams—Hailong, Eternal, and Tianxing—the other teams could only stand aside. One by one, they started moving in slow motion. Why even bother training? Their eyes were all darting here. Everyone present was a super Warrior who had awakened the Golden Zone, and they were the best among them. The more this was the case, the more they could feel that Arths was overflowing with an incomparably abundant vitality and charm. For young people, the attraction between men and women is always a human force.

One by one, they surrounded Arths, trying their best to perform. Su Yu also had a headache. She knew Arths had great charm, but she didn't expect it to be this strong here. It was a headache; just thinking about future campus life made it hurt even more.

"Brother Zuo, what's wrong with you? Are you having a seizure? Why are you shaking?" Ma Long suddenly noticed Zuo Xiaotang's abnormality.

Even the Fire God Team didn't crowd over. Tianjing Martial Arts certainly wasn't that thick-skinned, so they could only pretend to rest while waiting for a chance to rush up. It felt like the other teams were the same. Wasn't Arths here to participate? Maybe she would be interested in an Earth team.

"Wuu wuu, I saw the real Arths!" Zuo Xiaotang grabbed Ma Long's arm. Although he had entered the S Tournament, Zuo Xiaotang still felt like an ordinary person in his daily life, and his reaction was like a fan.

"Big brother, at least you've seen a concert; we haven't even seen one!" Ma Long rolled his eyes.

"Hao Ge, my life is complete!" Zuo Xiaotang hugged Li Hao's arm. Li Hao hurriedly pulled him off, "Zuo Dashuai, image, keep your image!"

"I don't want it, I don't want it, just like this."

"She is truly too beautiful!" Sheng Man, who was also a girl, had always been proud and had never truly admired anyone in her heart. But upon seeing Arths, she naturally felt inferior and couldn't muster any desire to compete. Girls actually know best when it comes to the level of other girls.

Zhou Naiyi knew this was a manifestation of the Golden Zone, a natural outpouring from Arths, which further proved the strength of her talent. Just being there made it impossible for you to resist.

"What a pity. If we can't even take a group photo with Arths, I feel like I'll never have a second chance in this lifetime," Tan Ziyuan said with some regret.

"Ziyuan is actually feeling regretful, that's rare."

Everyone knew that Tan Ziyuan actually had the most open-minded personality and could let things go easily.

Seeing Tan Ziyuan's envious gaze, Li Wu couldn't help but say, "It's not like there's no chance."

Ma Long and the others immediately looked at Li Hao. Zuo Xiaotang grabbed Li Hao, "Hao Ge, why don't you sacrifice yourself, kneel down and beg Team Leader Dita to give us a chance?"

Li Wu was stunned, "Zuoge, is that the status I hold in your heart?"

"Li Hao, I think what Zuo Xiaotang said makes a lot of sense. As Team Leader, you should sacrifice a little for us!" Zhou Naiyi looked at Zuo Xiaotang with an appreciative gaze.

"Class Monitor, just a moment ago you said I needed to act like a Team Leader..."

"That was then, this is now. Haven't you heard that women are fickle!"

"Hao Ge, I think your sacrifice will be very valuable. If you're too embarrassed, I can go call Team Leader Dita over!" Ma Long gritted his teeth and stomped his foot; he was going all in!

Li Wu felt abandoned, aggrieved like a young bride, yet no one felt sorry for him.

"Everyone, don't make things difficult for the Team Leader. Dita won't budge either; once a precedent is set, there's no way to handle things later," Tan Ziyuan said proactively, "I didn't want it that much anyway."

"Ziyuan, Li Hao only functions when he's driven by a whip!" Naiyi had a special knack for squeezing Li Hao, likely because she had been miserably deceived back in their first year.

"Everyone, don't make things difficult for the Team Leader. The Team Leader can't help with this kind of thing either," Huo Ying sighed, looking exceptionally regretful.

Only then did everyone realize that Arths was simply not in their circle at all. As for what Apocalypse or Earth-Apocalypse was, Arths had probably never even heard of them. Even an S-Tournament Champion like Fan Liweite could only manage to exchange a few words, though even a blind man could see that Fan Liweite was trying to curry favor.
