Chapter 520: Fan Meet-and-Greet?

People like Luo Bi and Depuya, with their self-hyping personalities, were practically ready to strip off their clothes in celebration; this was definitely Hao Ge stepping up the intensity, this was about changing their situation—why should their treatment be a cut below just because they were all fighting bugs!

It was about having a land-based Mecha defeat an air-combat Mecha!

Among all the Alliance's land-based pilots, there were only two and a half at the top level who could do this: one was Li Hao, another had run off, and the half was Maxis, but Maxis wouldn't know how to use an Armor Leopard.

Many Captains also sensed this situation; the army seemed to have excessive trust in this Reserve named Li Hao, a situation that had never occurred in previous Reserves—could it really just be because of one championship?

Yet this situation was the same among warriors from Mars, the Moon, and Titan; this time, the Alliance had dispatched a total of 500,000 elite land-based pilots and a massive number of transport ships—this was no joke, they were going to get serious about completely conquering Kepler, and this was the first time a warrior had appeared who could be recognized by all Four Great War Zones.

Although Martians were arrogant, they also respected people; as long as you could beat them into submission, they would respect you. Li Hao had nearly scattered the Mars Three Wolves, so there was nothing to be unconvinced about, not to mention that Li Hao now represented the face of land-based pilots. As for the Moon side, Maxis and the others had all expressed their respect in post-match interviews, so what else did they have to be unconvinced about? As for Titan, it had always been a fanboy of Earth.

Unlike the wealthy and powerful like Xilian, the warriors believed Li Hao was their own dream. Neither the top brass nor Li Hao himself had realized the extent of Li Hao's influence, because no one like him had ever appeared before.

And trust is an important condition for becoming a leader.

On the space team-battlefield, three Obsidian 009s descended, and the Armor Leopard appeared as well. This time, the Armor Leopard did not hover in space but landed on the surface of the warship; although there was no gravity, the feeling of having one's feet on solid ground was still different.

"Zhang Guyu, Saiweilin, this match concerns our future. I am better at team-battle command, how about I take command?" Aputa said.

Zhang Guyu and Saiweilin expressed their agreement; they had no room to lose a three-on-one, and they wouldn't lose—Aputa really did have a knack for this.

"I'll take the front, you two use combat mode to pin him down from the flanks. If the Cross Wheel appears, take him out directly," Aputa said.

"Agreed, let's do it!" They were all Moon People; even though Aputa's position was very high-profile, it also carried the most responsibility. Only by staying united could they win.

As the Armor Leopard used reverse propulsion to land, Zhang Guyu and Saiweilin's Obsidian fighters had already transformed into fighter-jet mode. All three had their Golden Zone fully activated, not intending to give Li Hao any time to adapt, going straight for the intensity, planning to wear him down to death.

Powerful red flames enveloped the three Mobile Suits, and the intensity of the Flowing Heart Martial Arts quickly reached its peak. With a loud explosion, Aputa charged toward the Armor Leopard, while the fighters on both sides also rushed at full speed toward the Armor Leopard on the warship's surface, firing lasers wildly while simultaneously launching missiles.

If it were just about technique, an old-fashioned Mecha like the Armor Leopard really couldn't fight while hovering in space, but having reached Li Hao's current level of Golden Zone, this minor issue could be ignored.

The two Cross Wheels rotated and collided, directly entering high-speed mode. Accompanied by the frantic rotation of golden flames, they looked like two spiraling Small Suns, *zeng... zeng... *

The two Cross Wheels struck out, and the Armor Leopard vaulted into the air simultaneously; these missiles were just to force him to leave the warship's surface, but in truth, it didn't really matter.

The Armor Leopard, burning with golden flames all over, soared into the sky; this universe was completely free and easy for him.

Seeing the Cross Wheels strike out, the two Obsidian fighters immediately moved to meet them; their task was to pin him down, while Aputa in the front had already charged over. An Armor Leopard without its Cross Wheels was no different from a leopard without teeth—it was just a kitten now.

Extreme charge, Floating Light Hunting Shadow; she had long wanted to test just how strong the Puppet God really was!

When the two sides were twenty meters apart, the Obsidian 009 slashed out with its blade, and in an instant, the Mecha vanished—Space Movement!

This was Aputa's ability: a targeted displacement at the moment of attack. In space, it could be done with absolute precision, meaning that by the time she appeared, the Titanium Blade would already be inserted into the Armor Leopard.

Ability combat technique—Fate Shackles!

However, when Aputa appeared full of confidence, she discovered that she was still a meter away from the Armor Leopard... Gravity Space???

Li Hao smiled at the corner of his mouth; sometimes, gravity distorts space, and coordinates can end up with errors—she was too confident.

The moment he threw a punch, Aputa saw the Armor Leopard, radiant like a War God, and subconsciously raised the K23 Titanium Shield, *boom... *

The Titanium Shield shattered, and the Armor Leopard's right hand, burning with golden flames, had already pierced through the Mecha. Meanwhile, the two who had faced the Cross Wheels had truly overestimated their own strength; in a vacuum, the rotation of the Cross Wheels was unstoppable. This was a different state than on Earth, and beneath that light was a cycle of death.

*Zeng zeng... *

Saiweilin, who had been full of confidence and tried to block, was sliced open along with her shield. Zhang Guyu, who reacted a bit faster, went into a spiral charge, carving a beautiful spiral arc in the air to break away at high speed—this was the evasion technique air-combat pilots were best at: speed up, speed up, speed up!

He didn't believe these Cross Wheels were more awesome than missiles, and he didn't believe that after opening up the distance, Li Hao's Golden Zone could still control them. A sharp *shhh* sound cut through his mind...?

?

Why did he see his own lower body?

*Boom... *

The speed of the Cross Wheels was much faster than his.

At this moment, the warriors on the warship who witnessed this scene were all stunned. Was this... a bit too fast?

In the blink of an eye, the enemy was wiped out?!

"Well fought, my Hao Ge~~~~" a Captain in an air force uniform jumped up and roared.

... Ma Laoshi was always this passionate. He directly ignored the strange looks from his peers around him. Air force, army, it didn't matter—everyone was a comrade-in-arms, and Hao Ge was family; my Hao brings his own swagger wherever he goes!

In the army transport ship, countless Mobile Suit pilots cheered wildly, the sound seemingly piercing through space, boosting morale—it was all about suppressing the air force's inexplicable sense of superiority.

A group of air force Mobile Suit pilots watched, feeling a bit confused. They knew Li Hao was strong, but they didn't know why he was *this* strong. Could it be that Zhang Guyu and the others were all style and no substance?

Li Hao walked out of the training room; it seemed his strength had improved again recently, and he appeared to have plenty of energy to spare when using these abilities.

Looking at Li Hao's calm demeanor, everyone was speechless. Where had these Elites from the Starship Department ever seen such physical fitness and such intensity? Having just finished high-intensity training, he immediately fought two consecutive battles, defeated the top-tier Ace, and then took on three at once—all while using a land-based Mecha—and he was still this calm upon coming out.

"Is this a monster?"

"Have land-based pilots become this terrifying now? That shouldn't be right; I've fought them, they aren't this strong."

"This is probably the combat power of the number one Mecha pilot; it's capped. I really don't think there's any comparison. If nothing else, if Maxis and Ace were to fight in air combat, they'd have at most a forty percent chance of winning. This Li Hao is in a league of his own."

"No wonder these people call him Li Ge when they see him; I thought it was because he was older..."

Zhang Guyu, Saiweilin, and Aputa did not enter the confrontation; they were fine after resting for a while. Far from being discouraged, they all came over to pull Li Hao aside and start asking questions.

"Wow, wow, wow, Li Ge, idol, that was satisfying! It really is far better to see you in person than to hear your name. I used to be in the Mecha Department, then I was transferred to the Starship Department, so I'm half a Mecha Department person. I've always wanted to try the power of the Tyrant, haha." Zhang Guyu instantly turned into a little fanboy, cutting through his disguise with one wheel—no more pretending, he was laying his cards on the table: I am a fan of the Puppet.

Saiweilin also blinked her large eyes. The three of them weren't willing to accept this challenge because they didn't care about their reputation, but because they had heard too much and seen too much of Li Hao's legends. Yet when they saw the real person, they found he wasn't as overbearing as they had imagined, and this battle had brought everything out.

"Team Leader, I'm convinced. Please take care of me in the future, and don't hesitate to teach me." Saiweilin blinked, her eyes full of excitement. She had set up defenses and thought she could block most attacks, but once that world-destroying power came, she knew it wasn't on the same level.

Black Pearl Aputa looked at the man full of power before her, still so calm and composed, unlike those around her who would float away and forget their own names after a little bit of glory. Such a steady and powerful man was worth trusting.

The team members who were originally unconvinced by this battle were now all convinced; this was no longer just a little bit stronger. Only Anluo Dan remained. The Dan Emperor... Little Dan was calm on the surface, but panicked inside. He was a bit stronger than Ace and had his own unique skills, and he was confident, but he wasn't a fool. This kind of combat power and control was unheard of. He and Maxis only had a slight advantage in air combat, and he couldn't beat Maxis in land combat at all. As long as Li Hao fully adapted to air combat, he wouldn't have a chance. He even dared to use an Armor Leopard—what did that mean?

The Golden Zone's ability had already covered the Mecha's performance; without a doubt, this was the legendary Tyrant Body.

To keep fighting would just be embarrassing. He took a deep breath, "Li Hao, you've been fighting continuously for a long time today. Our duel can be pushed back; whenever you're interested, I'm ready to accompany you anytime."

Everyone present was stunned. Who didn't know that the Starship hegemon, the Dan Emperor, had chickened out? This was just an excuse; it all depended on Li Hao.

Li Hao smiled and nodded, "Sure, don't let my appearance fool you; I look like I'm fine, but I'm actually completely exhausted."

With that one sentence, everyone on the scene, whether from the Mecha Department or the Starship Department, laughed. He could have chosen to kick them while they were down, but he didn't. That kind of character was different. Of course Li Hao could fight, but there was no need; these weren't enemies, they were comrades-in-arms, and they would have to fight side-by-side in the future. As for the issues between the Mecha Department and the Starship Department, that wasn't something he could solve; he was just a Reserve, and that was a problem for the Generals to consider.

Anluo Dan also breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that Li Hao would insist on pushing through; if he lost, his lifelong reputation would be gone.

Elena was also quite satisfied. Soldiers only need to charge, but as a Team Leader, he needed to grasp the scale. Now, he had achieved the goal of making the team unified.
