Chapter 56: The God Descending the Mountain (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
He didn't want to be a pig, but he felt a bit embarrassed; his movements weren't very fluid. If it were Ma Laoshi, he would have surely made a show of it—the point was to create an ambiguous atmosphere and draw closer.
Just as Li Hao hesitated about what to say, A Youyou's face flushed slightly as she hugged Li Hao's waist. Student Li Hao suddenly perked up; the teacher did not deceive me, this is the GOAT!
Holding A Youyou, he descended with a swoosh and walked toward the Armor Leopard on the other side. The Mechas here were specially designed, the kind for absolute beginners.
And what neither A Youyou nor Li Hao noticed was that in the management room next to the training ground, Long Danni's expression was grave.
When Li Hao and A Youyou entered the training ground, she had come as soon as she was notified. A Youyou's identity was too sensitive; if anything went wrong, no one could bear the responsibility. She even regretted agreeing to the other party's request. Logically speaking, it should have just been a formality—how could she be interested in Mechas?
But she had unexpectedly seen the movements of that Armor Tiger set. Who was Long Danni? Someone who had returned from the battlefield, experienced regional wars, and wiped out interstellar pirates. Anyone who could perform such movements with an Armor Tiger was a top-tier talent in a military academy.
Although they were non-combat movements, every strike was infused with power; it wasn't just for show. Moreover, after finishing the set, his heart rate and other physical data hadn't changed significantly at all.
This physical fitness was somewhat heaven-defying!
Clearly, Li Hao was an expert, exactly what she needed. In fact, when she looked at Li Hao's file, she had felt this was a possibility. The school grades could be ignored, which was why she placed Li Hao in Zhou Naiyi's team to observe him. She hadn't expected him to be even better than anticipated.
But the problem was also quite thorny. She had investigated; in fact, the matter from back then had already passed, but the Meraphis Family was a hidden major shareholder of the EMP, and the S Tournament was led by the EMP officials. Letting Li Hao participate was equivalent to slapping the Meraphis Family in the face. There were also lingering issues from Apocalypse, and the Alliance wished for this matter to be buried forever.
Even Long Danni felt it was tricky, but it would be a pity for such talent to be buried. Long Danni decided to think of another way, but she had to actually get it done; she couldn't keep stalling.
At this moment, under Li Hao's guidance, A Youyou took her first step in the Armor Leopard. Of course, it didn't look like a fierce leopard, but rather a drunk husky—wobbling and swaying, nearly falling several times. Li Hao was frantically adjusting the center of gravity, yet A Youyou was particularly bold, not knowing what fear was; she hadn't even learned to walk, yet she wanted to run.
As a result, the Armor Leopard Fighter took a nosedive. Li Hao took over the operation authority, supported it with one hand, and the Armor Leopard pulled up directly, landing gracefully.
"How was that? Does it have a bit of your dance style?" Li Hao said.
"Do you still remember?" A Youyou asked, not afraid in the slightest, and actually quite excited.
"How could I forget? I'll never forget it in this lifetime." Li Hao said instinctively; he would even dream about it at night.
A Youyou's face flushed slightly, "Senior, given that you performed very well today, I'll sing a song for you. What do you want to hear? I can sing many, take a request on the spot."
Li Hao shrugged, "I have to think about this. Oh, 'Unstoppable', do you know it? Arths's divine song, very imposing, very suitable for listening to during battle."
"You like Arths too?" A Youyou gently bit her lip.
"I'm not obsessed with idols. It's mainly the little fatty in our dorm, Zuo Xiaotang, who is a super fan of Arths. He listens to it every day, so I ended up memorizing it. I don't listen to many songs usually, but this one is quite energetic... Is the difficulty a bit too high?"
A Youyou smiled beautifully, "Oh, then let me try."
... I will wear a smile, and I also understand how to curry favor...
... For me, showing weakness is ill-timed...
I am going to suit up for battle, I am going to make you understand
I'm unstoppable!
I'm invincible...
Li Hao hadn't paid much attention at first, but as he listened, he became mesmerized. This small body actually possessed such spiritual deterrent power.
... I am invincible, I am already unstoppable!
Li Hao didn't know where his future lay, nor did he know what Bleem's ultimate goal was, but he didn't care, nor was he afraid.
After the song finished, Li Hao applauded, "Good!"
A Youyou also smiled, blinking slyly, "How good?"
"... This, very good, about the same as the original." Li Hao was stunned. If Ma Laoshi were here, he definitely wouldn't have said that.
Of course, if it were Ma Laoshi, in this environment, in this atmosphere, his mouth would certainly have functions beyond just speaking.
For some reason, A Youyou giggled, and Li Hao could only giggle along.
This was another beautiful night. Ever since A Youyou appeared, his somewhat unreal life had become rich and colorful. Li Hao felt that he was also starting to become like a normal person.
After sending A Youyou back, Li Hao returned to the dorm still grinning.
"Ayo, our dorm leader has returned. Come, come, come, sit down quickly. How was it? What base did you reach?" Ma Long hurriedly moved a chair to the center of the dorm, with a hint of an interrogation vibe.
"What kind of nonsense is that? I was just practicing Mechas with A Youyou; this is a task given by the principal."
"Lying to a ghost, even the principal is involved? These days, what is more exciting than a cockpit? Don't look, what are you looking at? I haven't tried it..." Ma Long blinked ambiguously, "Strike first to gain the advantage. Do you remember those tricks I taught you?"
"Hao Ge, don't listen to Ma Long. He's a pervert. Isn't being happy the best thing?" Zuo Xiaotang said.
"I agree too. This is what love should look like," Wuzang expressed his agreement, "The most beautiful thing, why make it so complicated? At least I see Hao Ge smiling a lot more. Before, it felt like he was just smiling without feeling."
"Damn, you guys are the ones smiling without feeling."
Ma Long was taken aback. Li Hao took off his shirt and threw it aside, "This is pretty good. It feels very comfortable, and we can get to know each other. After all, we haven't known each other for long. Of course, I'm still grateful for Ma Laoshi's guidance. A Youyou isn't an ordinary girl; there aren't that many games."
Ma Long sighed, shook his head, subconsciously took out a cigarette, lit it with a snap, blew a smoke ring, and smiled, "Wuzang, this kid, is a fool who has a rare moment of wisdom. I see that girl isn't one for games either; she probably hasn't been in love before. Your state is naive, but it's also the most beautiful. Alright... what base did you reach?"
Everyone couldn't help but roast him; this guy couldn't be serious for more than three seconds.
"Hao Ge, have you talked to the principal? Is there any way to solve it?" Wuzang asked; he was the most unconvinced.
"What situation? Solve what?" Ma Long asked curiously. Upon learning the situation, he immediately flew into a rage, "What kind of dog thing is that? What era is this? Who is he? I'll go kill him!"
"Xilian Molafisi. You just need to look into beating him half to death," Wuzang said.
"Damn, I don't care what he is. Is there anything our 4396 is afraid of?... What did you say? Molafisi?" Ma Long was stunned. Although this surname was low-key, he was very knowledgeable about those who cared about the so-called upper-level structure.
"Xilian, the genius heir of the Meraphis Family who was born at others' finish line, the one who has been donating money everywhere and publishing papers in top scientific journals recently?"
"That's him." Wuzang nodded, "A few years ago, Hao Ge did indeed almost make him reach the end of his life directly."
Ma Long looked Li Hao up and down, "Hao Ge, awesome! You can brag about this for a lifetime. The fact that you can still be alive and intact until now is also a miracle."
"This is Earth, not the Moon. He can't be too reckless. Hao Ge, I'll talk to my big brother and see if he can step in," Wuzang said.
Li Hao waved his hand, "There's really no need for that. It will only bring more trouble to everyone and put the principal in a difficult position. Let nature take its course."
It's all Bleem's fault. Without the ability to reach the sky, why take on such a porcelain job? And so stingy too!
Ding-ding-dong-dong...
Li Hao's Skynet device rang. He tapped it, and a holographic little figure appeared.
"What is it?" Li Hao said; there was no need to be polite with Luo Bi.
"Second Brother, hehe, I'm troubling you again. The Tianxing side is unconvinced after losing last time and insists on fighting again. As long as you have time, they are waiting at any moment. Find an opportunity to let them get what they asked for? Also, I've hit a bottleneck recently and the pressure is huge. Help me sort it out; I'm almost unable to sleep at night," Luo Bi said. He didn't need to hide anything from Li Hao, nor was there anything to pretend about.
"Alright, I don't have anything going on recently. If they want to challenge, then fight them. But you guys still need to get your own people in order; it feels a bit chaotic. I can't keep fighting on your behalf forever," Li Hao nodded.
"Haha, I knew Second Brother loved me the most. You have no idea how much the little brats over here worship you; I have to go tell them this news!" As Luo Bi spoke, he waved his hand at the brothers beside him.
After hanging up the Skynet call, the others looked at Li Hao. "Why does this person look a bit familiar?" Ma Long asked curiously. "Judging by the school uniform, he looks like he's from the Americas District."
"Cougar Team Team Leader Luo Bi," Wuzang said with great certainty, his eyes filled with gravity. He had an impression of all the experts in the USE theater of operations, and Luo Bi was one of his targets as well.
"Luo Bi? That Luo Bi, Mad Lion Robbie??"
Ma Long looked bewildered; he seemed to have heard the other person call Li Hao "Second Brother," and Ye Tong had called him that too.
Why was he called Mad Lion Robbie? This person was arrogant and condescending to no small degree, and his combat style was quite wild; he was one of the few Warriors who could fight with blood-boiling ferocity when facing the NUP. How did he look like a... sycophant just now?
He clearly saw respect coming from Mad Lion Robbie. Perhaps Li Hao really was impressive back when he was in the Youth Class, but so many years had passed. Luo Bi had already become famous and was among those at the pinnacle; how could he still be like this?
The person who beat the successor of Molafeisi to a pulp and made Mad Lion Robbie submit, compared to the dorm leader who helped them bring breakfast and clean the room every day—what had he experienced all these years...
