Chapter 300: Draw Your Blade

Su Yu saw the timing was about right. "Everyone, Arths will be staying for a few days. She needs two Team Leaders to take her around and show her the ropes. Dita is one, and we need one more."

"I would be more than happy to serve!" Fan Liweite would not let this opportunity slip by, and no one else had the qualifications to compete with him. This was a rare chance to spend time with Arths. In fact, the moment he saw Arths at the S Tournament, Fan Liweite had been smitten.

Su Yu smiled slightly. "Thank you, Team Leader Fan Liweite, but the Eternal Team is our own Moon team. Arths would like to find a team with a different style."

The Moon People could not hide the disappointment in their hearts, and they looked one after another at the Earthlings, Martians, and Titans, thinking these losers were not even worthy of breathing the same air as Arths.

Suddenly, everyone froze, because Su Yu was leading Arths out from the crowd of Moon People, walking toward the outside. Everyone's heart was about to stop. Was this... an opportunity?

Everyone followed the path and discovered Arths's direction: Tianjing Martial Arts???

F***!

The Tianjing Martial Arts side realized it too. Ma Long, Sheng Man, Wuzang, and the others were like they had been hit by a Petrification spell; their expressions were stiff, and their heartbeats accelerated.

No way, right?

Really, no way, right??

They didn't know how time passed, but Arths had already stood before them. Her flawless skin made her peerless beauty even more powerful, leaving everyone unable to speak.

Su Yu rolled her eyes internally, but she still had to act. To think that one day she would have to do something like this. Oh well, for the sake of her Ocean Heart, she would suffer through it. If she couldn't get it later, she would beat him to death.

She wasn't worried that the people from Tianjing Martial Arts would recognize her. Last time she wore big sunglasses, her overall outfit was different, and there was a big difference in her aura. Su Yu was extra careful about these things when she was outside.

"Team Leader Li Hao, hello. During the exchange tournament, Miss Arths would like to learn from two Team Leaders. One is Team Leader Dita, and for the other, I would like to trouble you. I wonder if it would be convenient for you?" Su Yu revealed a professional manager's smile.

At this moment, Zhou Naiyi and the others were so happy they were about to take flight on the spot. Happiness had come too suddenly, and the surrounding discussion was filled with jealous glares that could have incinerated Tianjing Martial Arts.

The atmosphere solidified for a moment. Zhou Naiyi kicked Li Hao, who was still in a daze. "Our Team Leader has no other merits, but he has plenty of time. He would be very happy to serve."

Li Wu glanced at Zhou Naiyi—he was very busy himself, and he had things to do!

Arths gave Zhou Naiyi a meaningful look and smiled enchantingly. The impact of her beauty made everyone's hearts uncontrollably expand. She reached out her fair hand toward Li Hao. "Team Leader Li Hao, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me."

Ma Long and the others watched this scene, dumbfounded. One had to know that everyone who had greeted her before only received a polite nod. This time, Arths had actually taken the initiative to make contact?

Li Wu reached out his hand for a light shake. "Don't mention it. The motto of our Tianjing Martial Arts is to be happy to help others."

"Heh, Team Leader Li Wu is truly excellent," Su Yu remarked sarcastically. What a piece of sh*t acting job.

A Youyou's little finger suddenly gave a mischievous tickle in Li Wu's palm before she let go.

"I'll have to trouble everyone from now on."

"It's no trouble, not a trouble at all!" The one who spoke was actually Wuzang.

Everyone looked at him in astonishment, and then Wuzang's entire face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

"Ahem, Miss Arths, our team members would like to take a group photo with you, is that okay?" Li Hao said hurriedly; he had to satisfy his brothers' wishes.

Su Yu frowned. "Team Leader Li is truly happy to help others. I'll have to trouble everyone later, so I'll make an exception this time."

The entire process was spent amidst the envy of others. If looks could kill, Tianjing Martial Arts would have been a three-star Michelin sashimi platter by now.

"Team Leader Li Wu, please come with me. We still need to communicate regarding the specific details," Su Yu said indifferently.

"Okay," Li Wu agreed quite readily.

Dita also came over. Seeing Li Hao, she huffed, lifted her head, and walked past. Li Hao rubbed his nose. How much anger was this? It had been a month and it still hadn't dissipated. Women were terrifying.

Once Su Yu and the others left, the training grounds immediately exploded. The way everyone looked at Tianjing Martial Arts became increasingly unfriendly. If the previous looks were just pointing out provocations, this time the crowd was truly incensed.

"Why!"

"I also think they aren't worthy. Tianjing is nothing!"

"How could it be him? This guy is just too damn lucky, God!"

In the crowd, Fan Liweite, who always had a cold and arrogant gaze, was now filled with the flames of jealousy in his eyes.

Most of the Apocalypse members were still relatively calm. Although there were those who would grumble, they wouldn't go too far. After all, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but they had all been ravaged by tigers before. No matter how unconvinced they were, the fear in their hearts remained.

Of course, there were truly no shortage of people itching to challenge him.

Humans are creatures with short memories, which is also a factor in survival and progress. The pressure from back then had passed many years ago, and in reality, they were wondering if they were already capable enough, if they were already good enough. It was just that without external stimulation, they maintained a certain level of calm. Now, this heart that was itching to try was already becoming hard to suppress.

Of course, Romero, Basta, and others still maintained a sliver of calm. A fight was certain, but it wouldn't be so casual; they weren't street thugs.

Ma Long and the others took a good while to recover, looking at each other. Every person's face revealed a happy smile. Zuo Xiaotang's eyeballs were almost falling into his Skycom. The funniest one was Wuzang; they had thought Wuzang was someone only focused on martial arts, but now it seemed the other party's charm just wasn't enough.

"The Team Leader is finally useful for something," Lu Lingxiao said happily.

"I think we should treat him a bit better in the future," Sheng Man also nodded and said.

"Yeah, I also think I've been a bit too harsh. Next time I sell him out, I'll definitely feel a bit more guilty."

"What a pity, Ant missed a huge opportunity. Where did that kid sneak off to?"

"Arths is a true goddess, 360 degrees without dead angles, impeccable. I wonder what skincare products she uses!"

"Not to mention, the Team Leader's luck is truly good, a little lucky star."

Ma Long and Sheng Man were both social butterflies. Sheng Man's personal page had more followers than Ma Long's. Compared to Fan Liweite, Arths was clearly an all-domain bombardment. Both were editing a meaningful caption. Arths had very few commercial activities outside of singing, and rumors in the streets said she came from a super big family in the NUP. EMP was completely an exception; it was said that EMP's invitation took over half a year to move Arths. In fact, EMP didn't even know which part they got right, and group photos were even rarer.

Therefore, the people of Tianjing Martial Arts knew the weight of this.

Just as Ma Long expected, his social circle and personal page received an explosive amount of likes and comments for the first time, making Ma Laoshi feel like he was on fire on the spot.

As a beauty from the Journalism Department, Sheng Man was already highly scrutinized. Once a beauty had a highlight, the overall attention immediately increased by a large margin, and her follower count climbed in a straight line. This was something Sheng Man hadn't expected; she had originally only been working as an assistant because of Ma Long, but it ended up becoming a breakthrough in her career.

A pretty face is a dime a dozen; there always needs to be some character. When hot-blooded Mecha and beauty are together, it's impossible not to be attractive. Arths became the catalyst.

In the lounge, Li Wu, A Youyou, Dita, and Su Yu closed the door and all let out a big sigh of relief.

"You guys talk, but be careful, don't cause trouble!" Su Yu stared at Li Wu with eyes full of warning.

Li Wu waved his hands innocently; he hadn't done anything.

"Aunt, don't worry, I'm here!" Dita had the posture of someone ready to draw her blade at any moment.

A Youyou laughed non-stop on the side. Su Yu left, and Dita still kept a cold face.

Li Hao remembered Ma Laoshi's words. Originally, his idea was to apologize to Dita—regardless of who was right or wrong, apologizing was never wrong. Ma Long also often said not to argue about right or wrong with girls; that in itself was wrong.

But as soon as this matter was brought up, Ma Laoshi immediately denied it, saying: analyze the specific situation. In a situation like this, absolutely do not apologize. It's very simple: directly propose new demands, the weirder the better, go and trouble the other party, make things difficult for the other party.

Li Hao expressed doubt about this, and was even unable to understand it, but he still trusted Ma Laoshi's level. He would treat a dead horse as if it were a living one; he had to break the stalemate.

"Dita, I'm not familiar with Hailong, there's a matter you can help me handle." Li Hao recalled the details Ma Long had urged upon him.

First, don't be too polite in your address; second, when making a request, be firm and tough; don't use a consultative tone, but instead get straight to the point.

Dita was stunned for a moment, "What matter?"

Although her expression remained cold, her tone had clearly softened.

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief; he had been prepared to be slapped away by Dita.

"I want to work as an hourly employee at the Cui Can Pizza Hailong flagship store; can you arrange that?" Li Hao kept the boss's mission in his heart, thinking of the company and the boss at every moment.

Dita and A Youyou looked at each other, and suddenly Dita's eyes began to shine, "Do you have another mission?"

Li Hao nodded seriously, "Yes."

"It wouldn't be to overthrow the Moon regime, would it?" Dita looked full of excitement.

Li Hao was speechless; what was there to be excited about in that?

"What are you thinking? It's not that exaggerated. Don't ask too much, just tell me if it's doable or not!" Li Hao stuck to Ma Laoshi's attitude of being decisive and tough.

"No problem, leave it to me!" Dita said with a face full of smiles, seemingly wanting to ask something else, but holding it back.

In such an important exchange tournament, the things that still needed to be done were clearly extremely important; the pizza was definitely not just pizza on the surface, what it was didn't matter, but Li Hao coming to her for this was trust.

"Alright, I'm going out to make a call, I won't be a third wheel; you two watch your boundaries!" Dita walked away with her head held high, as proud as a swan.

Once Dita left, A Youyou finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing, "This was taught by Ma Long again, right? He's got some tricks."

Li Hao gritted his teeth, "You're still laughing? I don't even get it. I originally wanted to apologize; before, he said don't reason, just apologize and be done with it, but now he won't let me. He says one thing and then another; I don't get it!"

"Big idiot!"

"Aiyouyou, are you trying to rebel!"

"Hmph, you only act tough in front of me; I'm not afraid of you, hmm..."

Li Hao hugged A Youyou, placing the goddess on his lap, and her small hands, soft as silk, were held by Li Hao's large hands, "Do you know, when you tickled me, I almost gave myself away!"

"If Zhou Naiyi kicks you next time, you have to dodge; you can't just stand there like a fool!" A Youyou lightly bit her little white teeth.

"Ah, oh, they all like to bully me. To please you and get a photo with you, they actually made me kneel to Dita; my worldview has collapsed," Li Hao said in feigned anger.

"Senior, what is your hand doing..." A Youyou's face turned red, the blush spreading from her face to her fair neck.
