Chapter 392: If You Can Withstand This Blade of Mine, I'll Count It As Your Win

At this moment, golden light instantly enveloped the Black Night Saber, and the wild power swept out like a hurricane. At this moment, Li Hao felt as if he had returned to five years ago, returned to that former Hunter King.

"Fan Liweite, if you can withstand this blade of mine, I'll count it as your win." The one-handed Blood Moon pointed toward the Silver Soul Lacer.

The entire arena was deathly silent. What kind of talk was this???

Things had already reached this point; how could he have the face to say that?

Throughout the entire S Tournament until now, one had never seen such arrogance, such insolence when facing the defending champion; he actually...

Fan Liweite felt suffocating pressure, beads of sweat falling one by one. Was this Li Hao's power? It was like being stared at by a demon; every cell was wailing.

No, no, no, victory was right before his eyes; this blade, he could definitely do it!

The Silver Dragon Spear in his hands began to spin. As long as he blocked this strike, victory would be his, it would be his!

Boom.

The silver dragon roared, silver light bloomed, and power climbed. Fan Liweite could no longer care about anything else; he felt the terror of his Spirit. He had to go all out. Releasing all of his Magic Mirror Power, a silver light shield even larger than the previous one completely protected the Yinhun.

Roar.

And at this moment, the Black Night Saber had already started moving. Step, step, step, step, step—every step was like the summons of the Grim Reaper.

Boom.

Flash Strike!

The Blood Moon tore through the sky, and a golden light exploded. At this moment, a massive, tangible silver ripple light shield stood before the Yinhun.

Baiwu Style Silver Dragon Celestial Mirror Reflection!

Pop.

Within the golden light, two reverse blade trajectories bloomed and merged into one. Hum.

Cracks appeared on the silver barrier, and golden light surged out. Fan Liweite's eyes bulged, and blood began to seep from his nose and mouth. He stared at the Silver Dragon Spear, roaring, "Impossible, impossible, impossible!"

Boom.

Undying Slash—Reverse Flow Two-Direction Blade!

The silver barrier shattered, the Silver Dragon Spear snapped, and the golden light swept across the Yinhun. The Yinhun did not move at all.

The power had completely penetrated through.

Fan Liweite struggled to lift his head; he could feel nothing anymore. He had really, truly thought of every method—why was he still unable to win? One blade of Yin Yang Force; how could there be such power?

The entire arena was deathly silent. Until the moment the Yinhun fell, the audience at the scene remained quiet.

This Black Night Saber had only used three blades from start to finish, and the defending champion Fan Liweite had fallen...

Is this God?

Kuangwu Daren felt his blood surging to his heart. That man, whom everyone feared, had returned!

Tianjing Martial Arts, Li Hao wins.

Accompanied by the referee's shout, Tianjing Martial Arts swept the defending champion 4:0, creating a miracle in the history of the S Tournament.

At this moment, the absolute minority of Earthlings in the arena were still in a daze, unable to believe their eyes and ears. They won?

When the Cougar and the Round Table Knights were crushed, when the entire USE fell into the Abyss and kept sliding toward despair, Tianjing Martial Arts—this internet-famous team mainly used as a gimmick before the tournament—actually swept the defending champion four to zero.

The Tianjing Martial Arts area, after a brief silence, instantly turned into an ocean of joy. The entire campus was boiling; everyone flooded onto the campus. Today would be a carnival night for Tianjing Martial Arts.

Tianjing Martial Arts forcefully advanced to the top eight, which was also the most valuable top eight in the history of Tianjing Martial Arts.

Long Danni in the principal's office finally waved her fists in excitement. "This kid Li Hao, he fought well! I should add more burdens to him!"

Finally, everyone reacted. Cheers and tears formed two sides, only the positions of the Moon Person and the Earthling had reversed. Earth warriors had once again dealt a heavy blow to the Moon People.

Li Hao had already been lifted up by the crowd, thrown high—they had to throw him, very high!

"Quick, put me down! Oh my, put me down! I'm such a grown man, I'm afraid of heights!"

But no one paid him any mind. They had finally won; they had entered the top eight. And facing the powerful Eternal Team, everyone's performance was very good—this was what everyone was most excited about; everyone had brought out their best performance.

Four to zero; this was something they hadn't dared to dream of before.

In the player area, Luo Bi on the hospital bed was already wriggling around like a cocoon, smug as could be. "Fought well, Second Brother! Three blades for one little friend! I told you this guy wasn't as good as Romero." As he kept shouting, the little nurse who had started to take an interest in him was completely angered away; Fan Liweite was her idol, after all.

Depuya, Aofei, Yan Peng, and others were also cheering with arms raised. Depuya, with his personality, of course didn't forget to show off his muscles to the Tianqi crowd from the Moon and Mars. "Tianqi, your master has returned! Hahahaha!"

Everyone couldn't bear to look, as if he were the one who had won—borrowing the fox's power to intimidate the tiger. But what could they do? What could they do? They were already wary, and now even more so. What was terrifying wasn't just Li Hao—that was within everyone's estimates; Romero and Fan Liweite had prepared for this for a long time, yet they still fell short. What was even more terrifying was the growth of the others: Zhou Naiyi, Wuzang, Zuo Xiaotang. Their shining points had been excavated. Cheng Konghai—everyone thought his strength would be greatly discounted compared to back then, but in reality, he had become even more terrifying. The ant that only knew how to be reckless before had become more comprehensive. Wanting to target Tianjing Martial Arts really wasn't that easy anymore.

The reason why Earth was always unable to win the championship in the past had a lot to do with their internal disunity and factionalism. But with Li Hao's return, they suddenly condensed into a single rope. The desperate fighting of the others, the sparring of Aofei and the others—only in this way could the true power of a faction be exerted. Such an Earth was the most terrifying. For Humans, since ancient times, leaders have always been the most important.

Facing Depuya's provocation, the Moon and Mars had no reaction, acting as if they hadn't seen it. This made Depuya incredibly happy. For the past few years, he had suffered too much humiliation; in previous years, he had been mocked by others until he didn't even have his underwear left. Now it was finally his turn; he had truly vented his anger.

Countless female fans of Fan Liweite were sobbing; there was no help for it, girls couldn't accept that their towering, perfect male god had been hammered. It was all Li Hao's fault.

Tianjing Martial Arts defeating the Eternal Team immediately topped the hot searches, taking the lead. Major media outlets also didn't spare ink in reporting this super upset.

"Three blades for one world champion; that man's domination has extended to the S Tournament!"

"Internet-famous dark horse or the descent of a king? Tianjing Martial Arts shuts out the defending champion and advances to the top eight!"

"A powerful counterattack from the USE: Tianjing Martial Arts defeats the Eternal Team; the defending champion performed too poorly and failed to break the Champion Curse."

"Puppet God dominates the S Tournament; he is as invincible as ever!"

Tianjing Martial Arts didn't actually have many fans, but they couldn't stop the Puppet's fans from being numerous. Countless Puppet Fans frantically charged, sweeping the Weibo of the Four Great Federations, fiercely slapping the faces of those who said the Puppet God would become mediocre once he reached the S Tournament. Now, who else is unconvinced!

Previous posts were pulled out one after another to be whipped. The Puppet Fans were satisfied this time. Four to zero, and the progress of Tianjing Martial Arts was visible to the naked eye. What did this imply from the side? Cohesion, leadership!

What kind of Team Leader brings out what kind of team. Before Li Hao, what was Tianjing Martial Arts like?

Gou Team!

The team that could "Gou" the most in the entire S Tournament. And now, Tianjing Martial Arts is the most aggressive team. In the knockout stage, they first beheaded Langwu, then destroyed Eternal. Facing a hell-difficulty dungeon, they fought more bravely with every battle. Who could withstand this?

The popularity of Tianjing Martial Arts topped the charts. Besides Li Hao, it also drove the fan counts of other team members to skyrocket. Ma Laoshi was grinning from ear to ear; his personal page had already exceeded three million. Although he hadn't even managed to appear on stage, the fans seemed to know that half of the military merit belonged to the healer. Without Ma Long, how could Tianjing Martial Arts' such fierce combat power be guaranteed?

Just like on the battlefield, the role of the logistics nurse is also crucial.

A nurse??? The image is too beautiful; I dare not think about it.

Ma Laoshi would rather call himself a medic. Joy.

This is the charm of the S Tournament that no pilot can resist; one of the meanings of human existence is to showcase oneself.

Besides Li Hao, the second most popular person is Cheng Konghai. Everyone knows his nickname is Ant now, and that Iron Armor Steel Fist of his is simply incredibly cool. He absolutely redefined Iron Armor Steel Fist and even pioneered a new combat style, while at the same time making Master Jiabo a legend once again. It's not that the master couldn't keep up with the times, but that his philosophy was too advanced for people to keep up with his pace.

Next is Zhou Naiyi. Athena is always a hot topic, and every generation of Athena female pilots receives a lot of attention. Past examples like Dita and Aofei were like this, and this year it is naturally Zhou Naiyi. With Aofei's Round Table Knights eliminated, Zhou Naiyi has once again picked up the banner of Earth's Athena, and the picture of her saluting has become a cover image, hitting many headlines.

Following closely is Zuo Xiaotang. This chubby Sniper is truly down-to-earth. I heard he is also the Tianjing Group Leader of the Arths fan club, which also drew in a portion of Moon fans. He likes eating barbecue and loves watching anime—definitely the hobbies of an ordinary person, yet he happens to be a top-tier Sniper.

Only at this moment did everyone remember that the great killing weapon Wuzang hadn't even had a chance to appear yet. Tianjing Martial Arts is truly remarkable.

Everyone was celebrating, and Li Hao finally found a gap to slip into the restroom and dialed Dita's Skynet.

"Congratulations." Dita was quite satisfied that Li Hao sought her out first.

"Same to you, same to you. Ahem, Dita, where do I go to collect that account?"

Dita smiled. "Yo, you're still thinking about this? Not bad. Shouldn't you be treating me to a meal?"

"Treating, absolutely no problem, two meals are fine too!"

"You're really generous!" Dita laughed. She opened her Skynet, looked at the winning settlement on the platform, and sent the settlement link directly to Li Hao. This time it was a bit ruthless; she had also placed some bets herself, and she felt like this betting platform was about to go bankrupt.

Squatting in the restroom, Li Hao was also a bit nervous. He had struck it rich—250,000, multiplied several times over. The downtrodden slave had risen to sing his song.

777.

Li Hao rubbed his eyes.???

"1, 2, 3, 4... *so many zeros."

How come there is 19.75 million???

"Dita, what's the situation? Why is there so much extra?" Li Hao sent a message to Dita.

"I added a zero when placing the bet. The principal has already been deducted. No need to thank me," Dita replied. 250,000—was she that stingy of a person?

Li Hao grinned widely, feeling blissful. This money wasn't borrowed; it was his own. Oh my god, he was finally a rich person!

In the restroom, Team Leader Li wiggled his butt and hummed a little tune. Struck it rich, struck it rich. Right, the boss also made money; he should show some appreciation. He should send himself a red envelope; as an employee, one should be more proactive.

After dialing for a while, the boss on the other end finally picked up the Skynet. "Little Li, congratulations to you all."

"Same to you, same to you. The boss must have earned quite a bit too!" Li Hao laughed. If he didn't send a red envelope, that wouldn't be right.

On the other end, the boss was on the verge of tears. He thought the odds of winning were so high that he added all his working capital, only to lose everything. Miserable. Who could have guessed it?!

"That, Little Li, you are a star now. Do you have any well-off friends? Our shop is looking to expand. Is there anyone who wants to cooperate? You know I'm very honest..." The boss was truly grasping at straws.

Li Hao was stunned.

It seemed, he could do it!

No one knew the overall situation of Colorful Pizza better than him. With first-hand information, he then had a half-hour tug-of-war with the boss. Finally, Li Hao acquired a 45% stake for 19 million, becoming the second-largest shareholder of Colorful Pizza.

The boss himself was experiencing a mix of ice and fire. Originally, this business was all meant to be left to his daughter, and he still had quite a few chain stores, but in the end, he couldn't escape the poisonous hands of Little Li.

This amount of money was certainly not enough to occupy so many shares. On one hand, it was indeed urgently needed; on the other hand, joining with Li Hao's current fame was a guaranteed massive profit. At the same time, it solved the company's cash flow problem. Knowing the ins and outs, finding Li Hao was better than dealing with the vampires outside.

Li Hao washed his hands, dabbed a bit of water, and combed his hair. When good things happen, one feels refreshed. He would be a small boss from now on. He felt he had achieved another ideal. After graduation, even if he were unemployed, he could happily deliver pizzas; his little life would be very comfortable.

As soon as Li Hao returned, he was surrounded by the crowd. There was already a huge crowd of reporters outside the operations room. Currently, only USE reporters had been let in; everyone else had already been interviewed, and now it was Li Hao's turn.

"Team Leader Li Hao, may I ask how you feel about entering the top eight?"

"Very happy!" Li Hao said decisively. The feeling of being a boss was even better, and that was a place where he had poured his youth and sweat for several years.

"Are you willing for everyone to call you Puppet, or Li Hao?"

"I am a second-year student at Tianjing Martial Arts, Li Hao." In terms of attitude, Li Hao was still incomparably upright.

Long Danni, who was watching the Skynet live stream, couldn't help but nod. Look, this is what Tianjing Martial Arts cultivated; he hadn't forgotten his alma mater. How could one not love such a student?

"Team Leader Li Hao, having consecutively defeated Langwu and Eternal, which obstacle was greater?"

Li Hao smiled. "Langwu. Romero is still very determined. It's been a long time since I've had such a good time. That battle was very satisfying."

This was Li Hao's honest thought. Regardless of perseverance, ability, or determination, Romero crushed Fan Liwei.

"Representing the fans, I have a question: what are your usual hobbies?"

"Hobbies? I like eating pizza, Colorful Pizza!" Li Hao started advertising for his own pizza place, wishing he had a pizza box in his hand to smear onto the camera lens.

In the cold lounge, Lone Wolf Romero watched the live stream alone, his lips twitching a few times, his eyes bloodshot, as he sighed toward the sky.
