Chapter 394: How about upgrading to Soul Origin?

Is it possible that Hailong is still essentially Li Xiangshan's team, with Hailong advancing to the top eight? As for Team Leader Xilian, he certainly possesses the ability of Flowing Heart Martial Arts, but this only proves his talent; the Golden Zone does not represent everything. There are quite a few warriors who have reached Flowing Heart Martial Arts in this S Tournament, and only those warriors who have been tempered through a hundred battles, possess firm willpower, and have comprehensive techniques can make it to the end. The outside world still believes that the huge donations the Meraphis Family gave to Hailong Academy earlier were just to gild Xilian.

Quite a few of Li Xiangshan's fans felt aggrieved for him, but they just didn't want to destroy the unity under the situation of Hailong's great victory, so they endured it.

The top eight are born:

Moon War Zone: Galaxy Team, Carmela, Tianxing Mech, Hailong Team.

Earth War Zone: Beikarosai Team, Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts Team.

Mars War Zone: Fire God Team.

Titan and Space City Federation War Zone: Wailing Team.

Without a doubt, the Moon War Zone has displayed their powerful dominance. With three heroes fighting Lu Bu, it can be gradually seen from this S Tournament that the Moon has already taken the lead. Of course, other war zones still have opportunities; luck is also very important if one wants to win the S Tournament. If there is too much internal strife on the Moon, it might give other teams a chance. In terms of team strength, teams like Beikarosai and Fire God Team both possess the opportunity to win the championship.

One hour after the competition ended, the drawing ceremony began. Everyone was praying for a top-tier draw. It can be said that teams wanting to win the championship have to gamble on their luck at this moment. Every year's S Tournament is like this; besides one's own strength being strong enough, one really needs a bit of luck to avoid excessive consumption before the finals.

Half an hour later, all the members of the top eight had arrived. Everyone had gone through some tidying up, even Hailong and Beikarosai, who had just finished fighting, were the same. Of course, star teams like these have their own stylists; people rely on clothes, and it must be said that Xilian's appearance is truly impressive.

Everyone's feeling at this moment was different from when they first arrived; it felt a bit like a few red flowers amidst a vast expanse of green. Anyone who can enter the top eight is a chosen one and can completely hold their head high.

"Ma Long, your eyes are about to roll up to the sky," Zhou Naiyi reminded him.

Ma Laoshi revealed an affected smile, "Image, every frame is wonderful. This life is truly worth it."

"We're only at this point."

"So nervous!" Zuo Xiaotang wished that no one would notice him.

"Zuoge, head up, chest out, stick your butt out. Hao Ge, is your hair flying? Why don't you style it???" As soon as Ma Long saw Li Hao's hairstyle, he was almost shocked.

"Ah, I styled it. I put a lot of effort into it just now. When I left, I felt like I was the most handsome guy on this street."

"What did you use to style it?"

"Water, tap water. Could it be... you have to use mineral water?"

Everyone laughed. Zuo Xiaotang, who was originally a bit nervous, even became confident. Compared to Li Hao's aesthetic, he felt he was still relatively neat.

On the stage, in the eight areas, light and shadow projected the school emblems and team names. Standing inside, the sense of glory was overflowing.

After the host finished warming up the crowd, Wu Fa took the stage; he would draw the opponents for the semi-finals.

Wu Fa drew the first name card: Galaxy Team!

At this moment, all the viewers on-site and in the live stream became nervous. With Eternal eliminated, Galaxy Team has already risen to the number one favorite to win the championship. Those who have teams they support don't want to run into Galaxy.

Wu Fa followed up by drawing the second one... Carmela Interstellar Team!

This is an internal war of the Moon. The Moon Person are conflicted yet happy. They also know that the idea of sweeping the top four is a bit much, but at least one Moon team has already reserved a spot in the top four. What they are slightly unwilling about is that Carmela is truly strong.

Wu Fa didn't care and continued to draw name cards, "Beikarosai Team."

Looking around, the spotlight was given to the Beikarosai area. Following closely, Wu Fa drew the team name card, "The opponent is the Tianxing Mech from NUP."

Dita and the others also raised their hands; they will face last year's runner-up, the second biggest favorite to win the championship, Beikarosai.

There weren't many teams left. In the anticipation of the Tianjing Mecha students, Wu Fa finally drew Tianjing Mecha. The opponent is, "Fire God Team from ROM."

The Fire God Academy erupted in cheers. Among the remaining Hailong, Wailing, and Tianjing, as long as it wasn't Hailong, it was a top-tier draw. At the same time, crushing Tianjing Mecha is also the best time to avenge Romero.

The last group is Hailong Team versus Wailing Team.

Galaxy Team vs. Carmela.

Tianxing Mech vs. Beikarosai Team.

Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts Team vs. Fire God Team.

Hailong Team vs. Wailing Team.

Before the semi-finals begin, there is a four-day rest period, allowing team members to fully rest while making tactical preparations. Currently, all eight teams are keeping their members healthy. The semi-finals will fully display their respective strengths.

Tianjing Mecha was quite calm about it. Once you reach the top eight, everyone is actually an expert. They have already been quite the dark horse on this journey; the rest is just to play out their own style. Fire God... just try their best. Of course, these are just things said with the mouth; in their hearts, they naturally hope that Tianjing Mecha can go further. They have already defeated Eternal and Wolf Martial Arts, why can't they defeat Fire God?

Of course, Fire God advanced by defeating the Round Table Knights. This is not Fan Liweite who became arrogant after winning the championship; the current Fire God Team ranks third among the favorites to win the championship.

Once the grouping was finished, there was no mood to be happy. Everyone had to prepare, even those with an advantage were the same. The more of an advantage one has, the less one can bear the consequences of being overturned.

The real challenge officially begins from now on.

Originally, Zhou Naiyi wanted the team to hold a tactical discussion meeting, but she was persuaded by Li Hao, "The opponents are already out anyway, it won't make a difference tonight. Besides, Ziyuan and the others also need to organize data. Let's just rest well today and settle down."

Since Li Hao said it so grandiosely, everyone was too lazy to expose him. Finally, Li Hao was happily liberated.

He and A Youyou met at a very distinctive bar in the Galaxy Center, the kind with dim lighting where it's relatively quiet to drink and listen to music. Mainly, in this atmosphere, the probability of A Youyou being exposed is relatively low.

Li Hao went back for 5 minutes to take a shower and change into a set of clothes, declining Ma Laoshi's hair wax and battle robe.

"Hao Ge, are you sure you don't want to spruce yourself up?"

"I mainly rely on my inner substance."

When Li Hao arrived, he saw A Youyou waving, and immediately after, Dita also poked her head out, "Over here, you can actually be late!"

Li Hao paused his feet. How come she is everywhere...

"Team Leader Dita, are you that free? Don't you need to study Beikarosai?" Li Hao sat down with a thud.

"Why wouldn't I study them? That's why I came here!" Dita smiled triumphantly, "What are you drinking? My treat."

"The most expensive one," Li Hao said helplessly.

Dita smiled happily. She just liked Li Hao making requests; this showed that he had already resigned himself to his fate.

A Youyou was also helpless. Dita was under great pressure after the opponents were revealed. She felt that only Li Hao had a way, so she came to ask for help, and A Youyou couldn't stop Dita's coaxing, pestering, and shouting.

"Dark Storm, it suits you very well," Dita placed the cocktail in front of Li Hao.

"I yearn for the light."

"Forget it. What do you think our odds of winning are?" Dita asked after taking a bold gulp of her cocktail.

"Ah, odds of winning?" Li Hao was stunned, a look of surprise on his face.

Dita's pretty face immediately turned angry, while A Youyou on the side couldn't help but laugh, "What do you mean? Do we have no chance at all? Do you know how strong my ability is?"

Li Hao looked at Dita, "Your ability is very useful, but it depends on the person. Chao Qinglong is still very powerful."

"A Youyou, listen to this, is this even human talk?" Dita was unconvinced; they were all in the quarterfinals, "You don't even know my ability. As long as we enter a team fight, we really aren't afraid of North Caro."

Li Hao smiled without a word, nodded, and drank the cocktail that had been brought over. It was quite good, and he downed it in one gulp. "Waiter, another one."

"Are you trying to anger me? A Youyou, keep your Li Hao in check and have him give me an idea!" Dita really couldn't do anything about Li Hao, but she had a way to deal with A Youyou; she didn't believe A Youyou couldn't handle him.

"Sister Dita, I didn't make any promises." A Youyou hurriedly waved her hands. "If you count it up, you are still opponents."

"What opponents? Everyone is an opponent. My threat is much smaller than North Caro's. Besides, we are relatives. Relatives are like hands and feet, brothers are like clothing; if they need to be changed, they must be changed."

Li Hao almost spat out his drink. What was all this? Was Dita obsessed with winning?

"North Caro's positions are all much stronger, and their average Golden Zone level is also relatively high. It's hard to target them tactically, so I don't have any ideas." Li Hao waved his hands helplessly. "Your ability has a certain advantage in team fights, but that's also targeting teams with similar overall strength."

The conversation made Dita thirsty, so she drank another glass. The pressure North Caro and Chao Qinglong put on her was too great. In reality, she didn't truly feel she had a chance to win. With this kind of tournament format, once the difference in strength was too great, there was no possibility. Her original intention was actually not to lose too ugly; there is a difference between losing with honor and being brutally crushed.

"How come you feel so relaxed, still having the mood to date? Fire God is very strong. The reason you were able to win against Eternal Team was largely because the opponent underestimated you and didn't understand your trump cards. The last match laid everything out on the table; Fire God Team will definitely target you from every angle." Dita suddenly changed the subject.

Li Hao smiled. "I don't have an idol's burden, and neither do my teammates."

Having no desires makes one strong; what can you do to me?

Dita was left speechless. "A Youyou, I suggest you reconsider. This person is too lacking in ambition."

A Youyou smiled slightly. "Sister Dita, sometimes you have to listen to his words in reverse."

"What does that mean?" Dita looked at the couple communicating with their eyes. "You already have a way to deal with Fire God?"

After Eternal's defeat, quite a few people actually felt that Fan Liweite had declined too severely. After winning the championship, he attended too many events, his focus was scattered, and the team members as a whole were also very inflated, no longer possessing the strength to contend for the title. This was what many worried about before the tournament, and it was proven true. But Fire God was different; Basta had stood at the peak and also fallen to the bottom, but his will was firm, and he had been working hard. It was truly quite terrifying. Whether within Mars or other federations, everyone believed Fire God Team would still rise. This kind of opponent was the most terrifying; it was just that Li Hao's relaxation was a bit absurd.

"There's no method, just play normally."

"Li Hao, don't be careless. If you two want things to go smoothly, an S-Tournament Champion title might not solve all problems, but it can reduce a lot of resistance," Dita said.

"Sister Dita, it has nothing to do with that." A Youyou shook her head.

"Heh, naive," Dita didn't want to say more. "Just thinking about being hammered by North Caro makes me so unwilling. It's a pity, my ability is so suited for team fights!"

What Dita was struggling with was that she couldn't even last until the team fight. They were very familiar with North Caro; this team's five positions barely gave them any opportunities. If they could have put up a fight before, the appearance of Ye Tong had completely made up for that gap. She looked like a newcomer, but Dita had used her family's influence to get first-hand intelligence. On the Tianxing side, besides herself, it was hard for anyone else to fight Ye Tong, and even she wasn't certain.

If she hadn't made the quarterfinals, it would be one thing, but having made it and then being brutally hammered made Dita want to lose sleep. If they had run into a Moon team, or someone they were particularly close with, it wouldn't be too ugly. But North Caro wouldn't be polite. The key was that A Youyou had already set a precedent by winning the Starship S Tournament, and she... it was so hard.

Looking at her struggling cousin, A Youyou pulled Li Hao's hand. "Second Brother, if you can help, please help."

"What do you mean 'if you can help'? It's a must! Li Hao, it's time to show your masculine charm." Dita had been acting for a long time just waiting for this sentence. "He is the Hunter King; he must know the weaknesses of Chao Qinglong and the others clearly. Just pointing out a few moves for me would be enough to beat them until they're running for their lives."

Li Hao almost spat out his drink. "Big sister... can I just pay for this drink myself?"

"Too late, you've already drunk it. Now it depends on how sincere you are!" Dita's gaze was firm.

"Dita, let me clarify a rumor first. I am not any Hunter King, and I don't know the current situation of Chao Qinglong and the others, but we can indeed help each other," Li Hao said.

Dita pursed her lips, not bothering to debate with Li Hao. "What kind of help?"

"You let Zhou Naiyi borrow your ability, and I will help you improve your power. As for what effect it can achieve, it will just depend on luck," Li Hao said.

Dita stared at Li Hao. "Borrow? The rumors outside that Zhou Naiyi can imitate others' abilities seem to be true. Can she imitate any ability?"

"That's definitely not possible. There are quite a few conditions, which is why I said let's try."

Dita's large eyes rolled around. Actually, Dita's eyes were also very beautiful, but they were ignored because A Youyou's Starry Eyes were too outstanding. "Do you really know what ability I have?"

Li Hao nodded.

"Let's hear it!" Dita really didn't believe it. Her ability had evolved and was hidden very well; it wasn't the kind that could be seen intuitively. She believed Li Hao wouldn't just be talking about Electricity powers.

"A precognition and predictive ability with a certain probability," Li Hao said. "Many people already know."

Dita was stunned. She put down the wine glass in her hand and stared straight at Li Hao. "You're all cunning little devils... Then what benefits can I get? My ability is incomparably precious. Even sisters must settle accounts clearly. You can't just try to fool me!"

"After the last match, everything that should be known is known. How about improving to the Soul Root?" Li Hao said.

Dita's eyes widened into circles, and she leaned toward A Youyou. "He might really be a ghost..."
