Chapter 580: Acting Commissioner of the Ruling Anthem

The staff came to distribute the star stones; each one was the size of a walnut, and everyone was served very quickly.

"Hold them tightly in both hands," Ji Er Mo said, "and channel the power you are best at into them. It will briefly help you feel the origin power of your spirit. Come, everyone together."

The Celestials, Sea People, Orcs, Insectoids, Mechanical Race, and others present all began to try, and various power fluctuations filled the entire room.

Under the stimulation of the star stones, the various powers present were all amplified. Some people were very sensitive and realized the leap of their spirits, while others felt nothing at all; regardless, they had their own power, and the process didn't matter.

Li Hao held the star stone and carefully input a bit of power... it seemed there was no reaction, so he input a little more.

Crack!

The corner of Li Hao's eye twitched. Damn it, the star stone shattered. Ji Er Mo's gaze swept over; he had just felt a terrifying aura flash by, but it disappeared too quickly. He looked outside, "Everyone, don't move, wait a moment."

Then he rushed out. At this moment, within the Anthem, many Warriors were looking at the sky. Although it was only a momentary change, it could not be hidden from everyone. The Ruling Anthem itself condensed vast power; such a change indicated that someone was using power, and the might was astonishing. Regardless of whether it carried hostility, this was an offense to the Ruling Anthem.

Li Hao glanced at the star stone in his hand. What the hell is this? A counterfeit product? Miserable, it shattered. Just as he was hesitating about what to do, a Sea Person threw away the star stone that had broken into two pieces, "Tch, trash. Is the Ruling Anthem so poor now? They even take out low-grade star stones to fool people."

Many others also experienced this situation, and Li Hao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Er Mo returned, and it seemed nothing had happened, "Alright, let's continue. Oh, there are broken ones? It's fine, just leave them there. This batch is due to be replaced."

Ji Er Mo also felt that as the Empire's Anthem, the materials had been falling behind recently.

"Since you have come to the Anthem, everyone has plenty of time. Don't rush; changing habits especially takes time. Don't rush into combat techniques; all power requires a solid foundation. Only when your understanding of Universe Power is clear and the direction of your power mastery is correct can you achieve twice the result with half the effort," Ji Er Mo said. "According to the spirit and one's own characteristics, we divide Anthem Warriors into four directions."

Functional Anthem Warrior: Manifests as a team support role in the Anthem squad, similar to reconnaissance, coordination, communication, medical treatment, and combat assistance. Mostly Celestials, Mechanical Race, and some special races.

High-Attack Anthem Warrior: Possesses powerful single-target or area-of-effect attacks. Mostly Celestials, Sea People, Ghost Race, etc. The characteristic is high-burst single-target damage or large-scale damage.

High-Defense Anthem Warrior: Possesses powerful defensive capabilities and can block enemies for Anthem Warriors when necessary. Mostly Celestials and Insectoids. When facing Void creatures or unavoidable damage from enemies, or even when containment is needed, these Warriors are mainly responsible.

All-Rounder Anthem Warrior: Possesses comprehensive and outstanding power. They are the top-tier people of each race and appear in every civilization. Of course, all Star-Casting Dragon Race are born All-Rounder Warriors; whether it is defense, attack, group damage, or leadership, they are all top-tier.

Anthem Warriors will first choose a main attack direction. Besides regular combat capabilities, they need a relatively clear learning direction so they can better execute missions when they become official Star Alliance Warriors in the future.

After one class, Li Hao's gains were still very significant. Humans find it very easy to accept Universe Power, or rather, they are already quite excellent after entering the Golden Zo. However, the human body is indeed weak. Fortunately, when Wuzang and the others entered the Anthem, they had already initially mastered the Tyrant Body. This is also through using Universe Power to strengthen the body to adapt to gravity changes, but it is indeed slower than other powerful species. This process must be gone through. From a good perspective, it also indirectly helped them strengthen their Tyrant Body.

Of course, the ecological environments of the Solar System are all similar. Simply speaking from an energy perspective, the energy concentration used by humans is still a bit low, which will make the attack value appear relatively weak. Once raised to the same level, the human combat style is not that bad. In fact, other civilizations have not completely abandoned their own combat

methods; they are all learning from each other, and ultimately, they still need to form their own power systems.

Learning and changing are very important.

Li Hao also listened very carefully. There were some things he needed to take back; this was also an important purpose for coming. It was the same for Wuzang, Maxis, and Cheng Konghai. People, no matter where they go or how far they walk, must remember the direction of home.

When the day's classes finished in the evening, Kuta initiated an invitation for everyone to eat together.

"Look, look, what did I say? With her looks and such a bad temper, how could anyone want her? Gaia, good brother, don't be discouraged," Kuta hurriedly pulled Gaia, "I will compensate for all losses double. You try harder; don't give up easily."

Gaia sighed lightly, "Sigh, since we are brothers. Although Aoliweina's looks are... okay," Gaia swallowed his saliva, thinking to himself, she is quite stunning, delicate and exquisite, the proportions are perfect, and the parts that should be big are definitely not inferior. The beauty of the Sea People is displayed vividly on her; she is just bad-tempered, otherwise perfect, "Mainly, I am doing this for you!"

"Brother, since you've said it to this point, what can I say? As long as you handle her and take her away, I'll add one more to the dowry and support you in rising within the family!" Kuta said heroically. Although he was small in stature, a big boss's spirit lived inside his body. Suddenly, as if he had discovered a new continent, he looked at Li Hao and Gasimi, "You are all brothers of the First Ring. Ring Chief, Dami, we treat everyone equally. Your level is enough to match my sister. Everyone, work hard together. Ring Chief, if you marry my sister, it will be of great benefit to both our civilizations. Gasimi, you work hard too. Sometimes don't be so stuck on race and gender; have a bigger perspective, and you can open up a new world. Being a Shaman King or something is not out of the question."

The three people at the table were stunned by Kuta. Is this considered forced selling?

"If you say it like that, will your sister beat you to death if she hears it?" Li Hao asked curiously. Everyone knew the strength of Aoliweina.

"Tch, do you think I'm really afraid of her? I'm just a good man not fighting with a woman. I am the family's first heir!" Kuta tried to show his masculine spirit.

Looking at Kuta's blustering appearance, the three of them were too embarrassed to expose him. The Sea Race cares more about face than the Celestials.

"That's right, this is definitely brother-sister affection. I will work hard!" Gaia laughed. Having such a brother-in-law is definitely not bad.

"That's the spirit. Today, let's have the good stuff. Boss, bring out the hard goods!"

Although they hadn't been here long, the boss already recognized Kuta, "Mr. Kuta, you are a person of taste. I have prepared hot items specifically for you!" Then a bottle of white liquor and two bottles of beer were placed on the table, "This is popular now. This is good stuff just transported from the distant Solar System, an 80-year special edition. I imagine with your extensive knowledge, you will definitely be able to taste the difference. Want to try it? It's just a little expensive." Kuta was unhappy, "What do you mean? Why only three bottles? Who are you looking down on? If people didn't know, they would think I don't have money and am not good enough to my brothers!"

The boss hurriedly waved his hands, "How could that be? No, that's really not what I meant. There are only three bottles; all that are here in the Anthem are right here. This 80-year-old one, I dare say you won't find a second bottle on Diwu Star. I saved it for you the first moment I got it."

Li Hao didn't know if he should say it or not. Forget it, the money was already paid; better not dampen the mood. Li Hao nimbly opened the liquor. He was also craving it. He really didn't feel much when he was on Earth, but once he went outside, he realized how good his hometown was.

Gaia slapped his thigh, "Li Hao, isn't this from your place? This stuff is really popular now. Come, give us a popular science lesson."

Although Li Hao didn't know the price here, once the white porcelain bottle of liquor was opened—and it was an 80-year-old vintage—he was glad he didn't brag blindly. It was still in the "can't afford" category, but he couldn't back down now, "This is white liquor, a type of plant-based alcohol. It is rich in various elements. After being blended, it is buried underground and born through the gestation of time and gravity—a magical liquid. Then, after proportional blending, this one is over eighty years old, equivalent to over fifty unit-durations of Aozier time. It's hard to describe the taste; everyone's feeling is different, but it's definitely potent!" After Li Hao finished speaking, he was actually craving it a bit himself. He was indeed cut out to be a salesman.

"So fragrant!" Kuta took a sniff, and his saliva was almost

coming out. Sea People naturally have a preference for water-rich food.

The four of them each had a cup, "Come, watch me!"

Zi~ Ha~

So comfortable. The taste of home; I miss everyone so much.

The others also learned to take a sip. When it first entered his mouth, Kuta felt it was a bit stimulating, but soon a heat rushed to his head. He didn't know why, but his courage surged. He felt that even if Aoliweina were right in front of him, he would dare to kick her twice.

Gaia quickly grasped the essence. He was worthy of being of the same origin as humans; his taste and feelings in all aspects were very similar. Of course, his reaction wasn't as big as Kuta's.

As for Gasimi, she only drank one small cup, and her little eyes were sparkling, "Can I have a little more?"

"Wow, good stuff. Damn, you humans are truly geniuses. How did you think of such good stuff?"

"Well said, you can't raise fish!" Kuta clapped his hands violently.

After finishing the white liquor, they used the beer to rinse their mouths. If the three people beside him didn't look so distinct, Li Hao would have thought he had returned to Earth.

"Eh, why didn't you call Dasha?" Li Hao asked curiously.

"Why call her? She's not on the same level as us," Kuta muttered. A level 38 Sergeant Major was still too oppressive, and he always felt that Dasha was the same as his sister.

"Our men's gathering, why call her? Brothers, let me give you a lesson on the benefits of Celestial chicks. These past few days, gathering every day, damn, it's really exciting. Let me tell you."

With alcohol and women, as they chatted, their relationship quickly grew closer. Gaia also had a silver tongue, and he even talked a simple and honest Gasimi into having the courage to cross races.

After eating and drinking their fill, the four of them walked back with their arms around each other's shoulders, humming songs. It's just that they were humming completely different tunes. Gasimi's two antennae were flashing blue light like signal devices.

Li Hao finally pinched them, and even gave Kuta a nudge; he felt an inexplicable happiness.

Li Hao was very happy. At this moment, in the Tribunal of the Ruling Anthem, a Celestial female Warrior with a very hot figure was checking the situation of this batch of candidates. Accompanying her was Los. This Princess's Knight Commander was currently full of embarrassment. Helena, the most outstanding female Warrior of this generation of the Ruling Anthem, the daughter of the previous High Priest, and also someone who grew up with Princess Hermia. She was both a friend and the most loyal guardian. A level 50 Sergeant Major, she was also a legendary Sergeant Major of the Ruling Anthem, breaking the record for promotion from Sergeant Major to level 50 in the Ruling.

Compared to the high and unreachable Princess Hermia, Helena was the goddess in the hearts of many Warriors, Sergeants, and Sergeant Majors, representing the extreme hotness of the Celestials. Her figure was very full, her skin was a milky white, glowing, and she had pink hair simply tied behind her head, paired with the low-cut outfit of the Anthem's female Warriors. Her strength... was unfathomable.

Besides strength, beauty, and figure, Helena's enthusiastic personality was also the reason she was worshipped as the most popular goddess.

"Helena, don't be angry..." Los frowned. He was more than twenty years older than the Princess and Helena, and he had almost watched them grow up, but he was also very afraid of both of them.

"Senior brother, I heard that there were irregular phenomena in this selection?" Helena looked at Los enthusiastically, and Los pulled away a little distance.

"Ahem, Helena, let's talk properly; the selection process was overall quite smooth." Los carefully weighed his words; his "fear" was not that kind of fear, but rather a form of concession.

"Is that so, Senior Brother? It seems there is a rift between us. You being like this makes me very sad. You don't realize we are currently beset by internal and external troubles; once they catch us, they will strike us to death. Her Highness the Princess is kind and soft-hearted, so we must always be attentive, don't you agree?" Helena stared at Los. "Are you going to confess yourself, or should I investigate it myself?"

Los had a headache and scratched his head; on one side were the instructions of Her Highness the Princess, and on the other was the little witch of the Judgment. It was difficult to handle, and he feared that if she made a huge fuss, she would end up causing trouble. "Helena, it's not that I won't tell you, but... I can't say."

"Oh, I see. You won't say it, so I will. I have checked all the records. Everything is generally normal, but there are two suspicious points. One is the Lalutu Orc Daoku. This Orc had great potential, but he died very thoroughly. When he was found,

there were only some fragments left. Have you investigated this matter?" Helena stopped smiling. Although there would be fighting during the Anthem selection, in this sensitive selection, who was so blind as to strike such a ruthless blow?
