Chapter 321: Soft Everywhere Except for the Mouth
A basin of cold water, mixed with ice cubes, was poured directly over Zuo Xiaotang to wake him up. Zuo Xiaotang shivered and jumped straight up, his leap hitting the ceiling. Not only was his body filled with strength, but he felt as if everything had been renewed, and Anlita before his eyes looked even more beautiful, with an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Anlita felt this sense of intimacy too. A side effect, damn it, Li Hao really was no good; this made Anlita even angrier.
"Miss Anlita, what happened?" Zuo Xiaotang felt as if he had slept for a century; it was very comfortable, very fragrant, and very soft, but he couldn't remember anything.
"Get out!" Anlita didn't want to say even one more word and threw Zuo Xiaotang out directly.
Zuo Xiaotang was still dazed, wondering what had happened, but Zuoge was a broad-minded person. He stood up and straightened his clothes, suddenly feeling happy. Although it was a bit violent, this seemed to be the first time he had spent such a long time with a girl. Why did he smell so fragrant?
Li Hao was still in a very good mood. The main task of this exchange tournament had been completed. They were all good people, letting others spend money and effort, making him feel a bit embarrassed. When he brought things over later, should he be a bit gentler? It seemed Xilian didn't care much about these things anyway.
Li Hao returned to the training ground feeling pleased, "Old Li, I remember your physical combat skills are very impressive. Let's spar a bit, try a different style."
"The communication device call is over. Li Hao, I've discovered you have quite a wide circle of acquaintances. When did you get so familiar with Anlita?" Dita asked suspiciously. She didn't like Anlita much; this woman looked like the type who enjoyed seducing people, her whole body exuding an air of flirtatiousness. This guy actually dared to take the initiative to call such a woman on the communication device.
"Ah, Dita, are you eavesdropping?" Li Hao widened his eyes. At this time, he had to keep Ma Laoshi's teachings in mind: strike first.
"Who's eavesdropping? You were so loud!" Dita blushed, "Besides, can't I listen?"
"Ah, that's not it. I was just asking her to treat our Zuoge well," Li Hao said, "Our Zuoge is an honest man; we can't let her lead him astray."
"Heh, you guys in Tianjing are all handsome men that everyone loves!" Dita mocked. Although she didn't care for Anlita, unless Anlita was blind, she would absolutely have no designs on Zuo Xiaotang.
Li Xiangshan, however, knew it wasn't that simple. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, judging by Li Hao's expression, Anlita must have suffered a great loss. She insisted on playing mind games with Li Hao; he didn't know what she was thinking.
Li Xiangshan also didn't know what to say. Tianqi had already disbanded, and now everyone was facing the S Tournament, competing for the highest honor as a pilot, the dignity and glory of a Warrior. He didn't want to worry about past matters anymore; he just wanted to finish his last S Tournament without regrets.
"Physical combat? If Li Ge is interested, I can play a few rounds," Li Xiangshan nodded and said.
"Brother Shan, what's the point of physical combat? Sword techniques are much better. This guy's most impressive skill is his sword technique." Dita had coveted Li Hao's sword technique for a long time.
Li Hao shook his head, "Ultimate physical combat is an art. Old Li is top-tier in our circle, but I feel your style has changed quite a bit over the years."
Li Xiangshan was stunned. He had switched to Heavy Armor back then because he felt his techniques in that area were better, but it was a pity that after truly switching, there was very little room for performance, "Some techniques equivalent to physical combat become incompatible when used in a Mecha. Sometimes the angle and speed are a bit slow, and the result is very unsatisfactory, especially since I mainly use Heavy Armor now."
"Li Hao, Brother Shan is right. Don't mislead us, and even if you did, it wouldn't be your Tianjing's turn to take advantage," Dita said. She couldn't let Li Hao lead them astray; Li Xiangshan was the signature Heavy Armor pilot of the Moon, and besides shouldering the Heavy Armor tasks for Hailong, he also had to participate in the Heavy Armor ranking battles.
Li Hao was between laughter and tears, "Don't you know I'm famous for not liking to take advantage of others?"
"I won't comment on that." Li Xiangshan and Dita couldn't help but laugh.
"Come, let the two of us try first. Let me see how your so-called physical combat can beat me. Only physical combat is allowed, no messy stuff. I want to see how you break my sword technique." Dita was eager to try; she had just been showing Li Hao around, so how could she let him off easily?
Li Hao was stunned, glanced at Li Xiangshan, and smiled helplessly, "Alright, let's not use the Golden Zone, just a pure exchange of techniques."
"Suit yourself, watch how I deal with you!" Though she spoke fiercely, Dita was very happy on the inside. Actually, Dita was the type of person who was soft everywhere except for her mouth.
In the training ground, Dita very considerately chose a wooden sword; using a Titanium Sword would be a bit bullying.
The two stood their ground, and Dita held the sword with one hand, quickly entering her state, "Li Hao, in my hands, there is no difference between a wooden sword and a Titanium Sword."
Before Li Hao could speak, Li Xiangshan smiled, "Dita, don't be polite, just go all out, otherwise you'll suffer."
"Okay!"
Li Hao stretched his body with a smile on his face, while Dita was already serious. The wooden sword locked onto Li Hao's possible movements. In her mind, she recalled Li Hao's submarine tackle that knocked down Fan Liwei. The move was quite sudden, but it could only catch someone off guard. If she was prepared for him coming in head-first, she would crack his skull with one sword strike.
"Start!"
Swoosh.
Li Hao moved, slowly approaching Dita. When the distance between them was about two meters, he suddenly launched. Dita's pupils contracted; although she knew he was fast, she didn't expect him to be this fast. However, she was faster, and the wooden sword in her hand pointed directly at Li Hao's head. At this position, it was impossible for Li Hao to get close; at this speed, he would only run into her sword.
Yet the next moment, the figure disappeared, and immediately after, her waist was lifted. Her whole body felt as if it were floating on clouds, Bang~~
Dita was thrown to the ground, seeing stars.
Li Xiangshan shook his head helplessly; this junior sister of his just never learned her lesson, "First round, Li Ge wins."
The moment Dita thrust her sword, Li Hao side-stepped and spun, dodging the attack to get close and hug Dita's waist. If this throw had been any harder, it could have snapped her neck.
In Dita's training system, this part was missing; she majored in Mecha combat techniques, while Tianqi started from the individual.
Dita stood up, glaring at Li Hao angrily, "Best of three, again!"
Li Hao smiled, "Don't get angry."
"Who's angry at you? Stop nagging. It was just a fluke. Let me show you my Lightning Sword!" As she spoke, the wooden sword in her hand made a whistling sound, full of killing intent.
Li Hao and Li Xiangshan both laughed, and Li Hao spread his arms to set his stance.
There was a distance of about two meters between them. In fact, with Dita's speed, she could have launched an attack. With the sword in hand, Dita still hesitated, because if she missed a single strike, she could imagine Li Hao closing in like a hungry tiger, and she would have no power to resist. Not attacking was still a form of deterrence; she had to hit the opponent's attack point and bring out the advantage of her weapon.
The two sides stood in a standoff. Li Hao's body swayed, but Dita didn't fall for it. Shifting the center of gravity was also extremely important in her attack patterns. After several failed attempts, Li Hao suddenly lunged. Dita reacted extremely quickly, swoosh, a sword strike, but Li Hao tilted his head, and the wooden sword missed. Before Dita could feel that something was wrong, her whole body was pushed over by Li Hao from the front and pinned to the ground. Li Hao sat on top of Dita, his sandbag-sized fist brushing lightly against Dita's nose with the wind of the punch, grinning, "You lost again."
Dita lay there, feeling life was meaningless. Li Xiangshan, who was on the side, smiled, "Two to zero."
Li Hao stood up, "Do you still want to compete?"
Dita's body felt soft, and she gritted her teeth, "No more! You only know how to bully me. How long are you going to sit on me? I'm going to report you; you have no gentlemanly manners at all!"
Li Hao was startled, realizing the posture was a bit awkward, and quickly sprang up like a flash, "When did I bully you? This is a normal spar. Old Li is an eyewitness; don't slander me."
Dita snorted, "I don't care. Buy me coffee later, an expensive one, or I'll slander you!"
Hearing about coffee, Li Hao calmed down, "That's no problem."
Poor as he was, he could still afford a cup of coffee.
Dita was happy now, beaming with smiles, "I'll be the referee now. Brother Shan, go for it! Properly educate this arrogant guy!"
Li Xiangshan entered the arena to do some pre-match warm-ups, and Li Hao loosened his wrists, "Thinking about it carefully, it's really been many years since we sparred."
"Yeah, many things are just like yesterday. The experiences from back then had a deep impact on me; childhood trauma, you know. I haven't let my skills slide all these years."
Li Hao and Li Xiangshan looked at each other and smiled. Li Hao didn't know what kind of heritage Li Xiangshan had, but his physical combat skills were very comprehensive; it was a pity he had switched paths.
The two stood their ground, their momentum completely different from before. Dita's eyes were shining; men were indeed more flavorful when in a standoff.
At this moment, Li Hao and Li Xiangshan had their bodies arched. In Dita's eyes, one was a fierce tiger, the other an explosive bear. As for the one who had just fought her, it was like child's play.
The two began to circle constantly, their hands moving up and down, their centers of gravity also shifting continuously. The distance closed to only one meter, but neither dared to strike rashly. Li Xiangshan's right hand took the initiative to launch a harassing attack, which Li Hao deflected, still maintaining his own rhythm.
Li Xiangshan suddenly leaned forward, and Li Hao immediately opened the distance slightly, but his center of gravity didn't shift immediately, and Li Xiangshan didn't follow up with an attack either. Both sides were still probing. Dita also realized that she had completely underestimated this kind of physical combat. Her belief that she could grasp the opponent's trajectory at the moment of attack was purely wishful thinking. When the opponent attacked, they were not only fierce but also predicting the attack, rather than just rushing in blindly.
This was a very systematic fighting skill.
Suddenly, Li Xiangshan made a breakthrough and grabbed Li Hao directly. In terms of physique, Li Xiangshan had a complete advantage, and without using the Golden Zone, his pure strength should also have been superior.
Li Xiangshan, having grabbed Li Hao, instantly had his eyes bulge wide, the muscles in his arms bulging like steel bars; the usually gentle Li Xiangshan was now like a monster, the two bodies constantly pulling and wrestling, the ground thumping, yet such a robust Li Xiangshan was actually unable to completely suppress Li Hao, and at this moment Li Xiangshan suddenly pulled in close, instantly kicking his right leg directly toward Li Hao's legs, while simultaneously exerting force with his arms again, directly yanking Li Hao into the air.
Strength to uproot mountains, spirit covering the world, handsome!
