Chapter 366: Horse King

The crowd was quite shocked. Time deceleration? Thousand Blades??

Is this a human ability? Romero?

Thinking about it, Chao Qinglong wouldn't speak nonsense, and more importantly... how did Li Hao catch it?

Dita's beautiful large eyes blinked and blinked, filled with question marks. She really wished she could drag Li Hao over immediately for a harsh interrogation; she felt she needed to lower her target appropriately!

In the Hailong Team's tactical room, it was also very quiet. This battle had wiped out all the luck and fantasies of Anlita and the others, especially Klein, who had actually been gloating just a moment ago. Although he had calmed down, the effect of being slapped in the face by reality was still different from what he had figured out himself.

"Li Ge is also bad, not very respectful to Romero, actually using a disguised zone to fight him," Anlita said. "Changing the waveband to reach the same frequency as Romero, synchronizing with Romero's time dilation, but it also exposed things."

She was also a zone master. The Golden Zone is energy, and it is also a type of ripple. Changing the waveband can produce different effects and spectral effects. It's just very difficult.

"Romero should have known the result the first time he attacked, but he still risked his life," Li Xiangshan said. He still respected Romero a lot. In fact, the first time he knocked the Night fighter away without crushing it, there wouldn't be a second chance. Facing Li Hao, he had almost a 100% possibility of cracking this ability, and had perhaps even seen through it. One can only say that Romero's obsession was deep... but then again, whose isn't?

"How long does this kind of cracking take? Could it be that Romero already gave himself away during that probe on the EMP?"

How can one casually probe with a trump card?

It's just that this wasn't something they could know; only Li Hao and Romero were clear on it.

Xilian suddenly shook his head and smiled. In fact, Li Hao had a weakness from beginning to end that had never changed.

Romero, who was already undergoing comprehensive repairs in a healing tank, was in a situation that did not allow for optimism. This kind of zone overdraft was something the current field could not touch; he could only recover his body as much as possible and let himself generate repair power.

At this moment, there was no pain on Romero's face; what he had was a kind of calmness and relief. His teammates had come and gone. For the next period of time, their days would not be easy; Martians had never learned to accept failure.

After a while, a rugged figure stood at the doorway, opened the door, and walked in.

Romero in the healing tank opened his eyes and nodded. Basta pressed the button on the door.

"Did you see clearly?" Basta asked.

Romero shook his head, "Don't believe what he shows!"

"Was it yours, or his?"

"His." Romero's voice was minimal, just a lip movement, but it was enough for Basta.

After a moment of silence, Basta sighed, "Did he hold back?"

It was just that the Underworld Blade shattered, and the power didn't seem to extend. It was very likely that Li Hao didn't attack at all, but simply took Romero's attack in full. Romero's fainting was caused by the overdraft of his ability, but if Li Hao had added any counterattack, the place he would be lying in now should be a coffin.

Romero's only remaining eye twitched, "Isn't he always like this?"

If he weren't facing Li Hao, how would he have used power that consumed his life again to try to defeat this person?

If it weren't for Li Hao, how could someone as selfish as him do something that harmed himself to benefit others!

This is the obsession of every Tianqi Human.

The matches for the first division concluded. The Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts Team, along with the Fire God Team, Super Starry Sky Team, and Hailong Team, advanced strongly. At the same time, Tianjing Mecha also produced the biggest upset since the start of this S Tournament.

After the noon break, the afternoon matches continued. The Round Table Knights faced the Babaro team. The Babaro team possessed the Martian new generation super genius Jie Yan, a powerful existence hailed as the successor to the Three Wolves. Aofei also faced a test; although her ranking had always been high, the Round Table Knights had always lacked the courage to fight hard battles. The Galaxy Academy led by Maxis would have a showdown with the old-school USE powerhouse Ockman. The focus was not on the win or loss—almost everyone believed the Galaxy Academy would advance—the question was that Ockman belonged to the tough and tenacious style among USE teams, and it was unknown to what extent Maxis, who had returned from injury, had recovered. It could even be said that after so long, he also needed to prove that he was still the War God he once was.

The battle between North Caro and Dreamy was also very intense. In terms of strength, North Caro was definitely in the lead; the difficulty lay in whether North Caro could retreat unscathed from the Titan Warriors. Many times, one wins, but then team members are injured or overdrawn, leading to an inability to perform well later. This was something North Caro needed to face.

The Giant God Peak team and Fanluo were Titans colliding with the Moon—evenly matched, with different styles, both had a chance, and both sides would definitely fight each other to the death.

During lunch, the Tianjing Mecha team ate with great passion. Everyone was extremely hungry; the great battle was very draining for everyone. Emotionally, they had calmed down because reaching the Top 16 was considered saving face, but the real test and journey had just begun. Could Tianjing Mecha go further?

Everyone needed to summarize. Actual combat and training matches were truly completely different—ability games, technical games, psychological games, and one's own mental changes when facing actual situations. Failure is the mother of success; in fact, success is the father of another success. Only with high spirits and active thinking can one realize more.

Everyone at the table was sharing some insights. The only flaw was that Li Hao didn't know where he had run off to again, which was just a situation everyone was used to. Suddenly, Ma Long let out a loud shout, startling everyone.

"Ha, haha, sorry, my personal page actually has over three hundred thousand followers," Ma Long said pleasantly surprised. The influence of the World Championship was indeed different.

The crowd gave a "cut~~," wondering what the big deal was. "What do you mean? Did you guys grow too? Naiyi, how many do you have?"

"A few million, I haven't really looked," Zhou Naiyi said indifferently.

Ma Laoshi rolled his eyes upon hearing this, "Wuzang, what about you?"

"Let me see," Wuzang really hadn't paid much attention. Just as he opened it, Ma Long leaned over to take a look, and his nose even felt a bit sour. "I'll help you close it, don't look, you don't need this."

"Haha, Wuzang must have tens of millions. Zuo Xiaotang, what about you? We two should be about the same." The only person Ma Long could count on was Zuo Xiaotang.

"Three million or so," Zuo Xiaotang was also a bit confused, not knowing what others were looking at on his page.

Pfft~~~

A mouthful of soup sprayed all over Zuo Xiaotang's face. Ma Laoshi instantly suffered ten thousand points of critical damage. Numb, numb, how is one supposed to live like this?

The crowd burst into laughter; this was helping Ma Long break his internet addiction.

"In the afternoon, we'll split into four groups. Everyone choose the matches you want to watch," Zhou Naiyi smiled. She wanted to watch Aofei's Round Table Knights. How much of Aofei's strength could the Babaro team force out? This was something she was very eager to see.

Li Hao returned to his residence and contacted Kevin. An exploration team from the Kepler-5 Base had gone missing. There were signs of battle at the scene, but there was no situation involving large-scale Giant Insects. An elite mecha team had been wiped out just like that; the mecha at the scene were all torn apart by some kind of sharp claws. Even more terrifying was that not a single human corpse was left at the scene. This was very different from previous situations. Giant Insects had a greedy appetite for human bodies, but they would always leave broken parts behind. This time, apart from bloodstains, there was nothing.

Moreover, according to subsequent search results, ordinary lurkers could not possibly have such combat power, and a large number of lurkers could not have evaded the team's detection.

This meant that some kind of Giant Insect with extremely fast speed and ferocious combat power had appeared.

Upon receiving this news, Kevin immediately thought of the Giant Insect Lord Kazi. They seemed to have entered a misconception; brain insects or mother insects might hide, but a Giant Insect Lord did not necessarily do so. It was very likely that it possessed super intelligence and extremely strong combat capabilities, and might not even fear human mecha at all.

Li Hao entered the Kepler World and found a Razor Giant Insect. In this way, he narrowed down the range. No wonder Bleem didn't provide a specific location. Combining the information from No. 138 and No. 139, the Giant Insect Lord had already arrived in the vicinity of the Ontario 5 Base. It needed to meet up with human traitors.

Li Hao only needed to wait for the rabbit to hit the tree. But a new problem arose: with the level of the Giant Insect he was controlling, facing a combat power of the Giant Insect Lord's level, how much chance of winning remained?

If only he were given a Mobile Suit, could he put up a fight?

It's just that Bleem didn't give him any room for choice, and he had no way to get to Kepler. Now he could only take things as they came and see if there was a chance for a sneak attack; after all, he was prepared while the other was not.

Li Hao spent quite a while finding a lurker, then lurked near the base, left a bit of a Quantum Mark, and began to wait for the rabbit.

A stronger Giant Insect could support itself for at least half a day. The attack by Lord Kazi must have already attracted the base's attention. With such a big event, the base couldn't possibly be oblivious. What he had to do was be able to arrive in time once a conflict occurred, rather than blindly groping like a blind man touching an elephant.

After finishing these tasks, it was already afternoon. There were fifteen missed calls from A Youyou on his Skycom.

When Li Hao saw this, sweat broke out on his forehead. Following Ma Long's influence over the past two years, especially the consequences Ma Long faced when he didn't answer Sheng Man's calls consecutively... A Youyou might be coming with a double critical hit.

With a nervous heart, Li Hao dialed A Youyou's Skycom. It rang for a while, then the Skycom was hung up. At this time, he knew he couldn't stop. Once, Teacher Ma gave them a practical field lesson: at this time, you must keep calling. If the other party hangs up, it means they want to answer; otherwise, they could completely ignore it. So not only must you call, but you must do it continuously, letting the other party feel your anxiety and worry, so that the girl's mood can be eased.

This remark was met with crazy mockery from Li Hao and the others; Ma Laoshi just threw a look of disdain from a king.
