Chapter 617: Next Time, Use the Front Door

The beautiful legs that had left Gaia unable to stop thinking about them in the dance studio two days ago were now lethal weapons, sweeping toward Li Hao with surging Universe Power; Helena, representing the peak power of the Arbitration, certainly possessed the strength to back it up.

Slap~~~

Li Hao blocked Helena's plump and truly alluring leg directly. "He..." Just as he opened his mouth, Helena had already vaulted into the air, followed by a flip, her left leg kicking straight toward Li Hao's head. Li Hao was just about to counterattack, but the moment he opened his eyes, he saw something he shouldn't have... it was actually white.......

Bang~~~

Li Hao blocked it, but from the look in his eyes, Helena realized she had suffered a wardrobe malfunction. Her temper flared instantly, and Universe Flame shrouded Li Hao in a frenzy. Her sexy, beautiful legs had now become weapons, completely enveloping Li Hao in waves of fire. Li Hao's body swayed, he cut inside, and struck out with a palm.

Boom……

It looked slow, but it hit in an instant. Helena was sent flying dozens of meters away. Just as she was about to approach the energy shield, she kicked off hard and flew toward Li Hao at an even faster speed. She had lost her cool; as the youngest Anthem Committee Member of the Arbitration, she bore the Anthem Glory of the Arbitration and was also Hermia's protector—how could she fail to take down a mere Human?

In mid-air, she flicked her hands, and a black chain shot toward Li Hao. It looked like a living creature; one look told him it was no ordinary item. This was the second Imperial Artifact he had encountered since coming to the Arbitration.

Imperial Artifact—Prisoner of Order!

Li Hao was caught between laughter and tears; this girl had quite the grudge. He had come here with a mission from the Solar System and bleem, and Helena was on the list he was trying to win over. Since he couldn't kill her, he had to find a way to turn hostility into friendship. The problem was, angry Human women were not to be trifled with, and Celestials were the same—Gaia had already taught him that lesson.

A Shift Displacement allowed him to dodge, as Li Hao's speed was extremely fast, and he had considerable confidence in his own movement techniques. But the next second, he knew he was wrong. The black chain seemed to traverse Space Ability, extending infinitely and predicting his landing spot, binding Li Hao tightly in an instant, followed by a flying kick.

Li Hao didn't dodge; he took the kick head-on. Boom.......

Li Hao flew out in response, slamming heavily into the energy wall before rolling down powerlessly.

A faint smile finally appeared at the corner of Helena's mouth. "Committee Member Fronzo, this person is a spy. Thank you for helping me flush him out; I must take him back for interrogation!"

Fronzo was caught between laughter and tears. "Helena, don't be impulsive. Calm down first, get the facts straight. This young man doesn't look like a bad person."

Having vented her anger, Helena was in a great mood, standing tall and proud. "

Bad people don't look like bad people."

Li Hao hurriedly spoke up. "Committee Member Helena, there must be some misunderstanding here. As the most excellent and fair Anthem of the Arbitration, you should at least give someone a chance to explain, right? Even if I'm to die, let me die knowing why?"

A pair of exquisite high heels stopped in front of Li Hao. From his angle, it was... a bit of a wardrobe malfunction.

Helena didn't care about that; she didn't need others to see how beautiful she was. It was just that this little thief still had the gall to be lecherous when death was imminent—there was no one like him!

"Fine, start talking. I'll see whether or not I'll spare your life."

Helena looked at Li Hao haughtily, but her heart was a bit chaotic; Hermia really might be capable of such a thing. "What kind of nonsense is that!"

"Oh, then why did you resist?" Helena frowned.

Li Hao nearly choked to death, his eyes widening in innocence: "If someone wants to beat you to death, do you resist or not, even if she is very beautiful?"

"Is that so? Then what were you feeling guilty about just now? Did you do something shameful? Don't try to deny it!" Helena's gaze was scorching.

Li Hao froze instantly. Seeing Helena about to make a move, the tightly bound Li Hao hurriedly shook his head. "Everyone has little secrets, but it definitely isn't anything related to being a spy, really!"

With a stomp, Li Hao instantly hovered and dodged the strike. Helena was stunned; she never expected that someone bound by her Imperial Artifact could still use Universe Power.

Spreading her hands, Universe Power poured along the chain. Li Hao was blasted by the purple power until his hair stood on end, and he was pulled directly toward Helena. At the same time, Helena kicked out again.

Yet, in that very instant, with a bang, Li Hao somehow twisted and turned, managing to break free from the chain. Li Hao was also a bit surprised; he thought it would snap, but it had only stretched—yet that was enough. He grabbed Helena's thigh again. Helena sprang away, sensing a threat. The end of the chain immediately sprouted armored plating, wrapping around Helena in the blink of an eye. In an instant, the Universe Power from the Imperial Artifact and Soul Fusion spread out, forming a powerful suppression.

Boom~~~

Mental Blast!

Li Hao didn't want to sit and wait for death either. Imperial Artifacts were extremely threatening; Kuta was a novice, but the one before him was not. The terrifying impact directly interrupted Helena's focus, but the black chain already struck toward Li Hao like a spirit snake. Li Hao's golden hand suddenly reached out, instantly grabbing the chain that was attacking from the side of the Void. The Universe Power of both sides burned, falling into a stalemate for a moment. Helena couldn't help but frown; her Imperial Artifact was unfathomable, yet this person before her had actually predicted it.

Universe Flame raged, Open Heavenly Eye—Helena's Universe Power rose further. Combined with the purple armor, the aura of an Abyss Queen emerged. But no matter what, Li Hao couldn't just passively take a beating; if he were beaten to death here, there would be nowhere to seek justice. No matter how hard Helena exerted force, he maintained his position, simply making it impossible for her.

Just as Helena was planning to unleash something further.

At this moment, a few dry coughs sounded from the side. Fronzo hadn't intervened while the two were fighting; he could see that Li Hao had no hostility at all. Helena was just too impulsive, and sometimes she would get immersed in stories she made up herself. Girls, especially beautiful girls, were hard to deal with.

"Helena, for my sake, stop for a moment." Fronzo smiled. "Li Hao came here to do an appraisal. He has already passed; that is my judgment."

Helena was stunned. She understood what Fronzo meant. The person who asked Fronzo to appraise Li Hao was High Priest Shilada.

Seeing Helena withdraw her power, Li Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. This girl was truly spicy, just indiscriminate.

"Little brother's strength is extraordinary. This doesn't look like a master who could come from a new civilization, and your Anthem level is also a bit exaggerated." Fronzo smiled.

"You are too kind, sir. Human civilization has accumulated for ten thousand years; while there are shortcomings, it cannot be completely worthless." Li Hao smiled. "As for how I advanced, I think that is my personal privacy, and that is the right of every Anthem Warrior, right?"

"Right, what were you feeling guilty about just now? What exactly did you do that was shameful!" Helena was very certain of her intuition; there must be a problem with this person, and he had done something shameful.

Fronzo smiled slightly. "A friendly start requires openness and honesty."

Li Hao looked at Helena with a slightly guilty expression. "It's like this: you also know I'm a newcomer and haven't seen much of the world. When I had some free time, I toured the Arbitration Anthem. As I was walking, I saw a very beautiful building, and then I heard some melodious music, so I couldn't help but go up to take a look..."

"Heh, you didn't use the front door, you climbed up, right?" Helena knew what was going on and glared fiercely at Li Hao.

"Cough, cough, well, I have no sense of direction and couldn't find the door, and I don't know how I ended up climbing up. Back home, I liked climbing mountains, trees, and houses. Anyway, you were all dancing, and then I was discovered. Cough, cough, I am truly sorry. Committee Member Helena's dance moves and figure are both excellent, standing out from the crowd."

Brothers, I'm taking the blame all by myself.

Helena shot a vicious glare at Li Hao. "Lecher!"

Although it was an insult, why did the tone sound a bit smug.......

Fronzo laughed loudly. "Haha, you're all young people, what's the big deal? I've done this too, several times. Haha, now that I'm older, I've restrained myself."

Disrespectful to his elders!

"Enough, I'll let you pass on this issue. Then what did you come to the Anthem for?" Helena asked.

"Oh, where did you learn your power from?" Helena waved her hand noncommittally. She couldn't possibly have had murderous intent just now; after all, it was only a test. But the opponent's power was too strange; to be able to hold his own while resisting like that—now that she thought about it, he didn't seem unfamiliar with the Celestial fighting style, and the way he suppressed her Universe Power was also very dangerous.

Looking at Helena's matter-of-fact attitude, he could guess her thoughts to some extent. A Human was nothing in her eyes. This rhythm had been led astray, and it would be even harder to handle in the future.

Li Hao looked at Helena with a half-smile. "Shouldn't you put away your arrogance at a time like this?"

Although they were holding back, these two shouldn't be fools, and they shouldn't treat him like a fool. The atmosphere in the room solidified instantly. Fronzo's expression remained unchanged, but Helena's expression suddenly turned stiff.

Was she arrogant?

Helena saw the mockery in Li Hao's eyes and did not show weakness. "How can a weakling deserve respect? Do you think you can be insolent just because of your performance just now? I can tell you, you know nothing about power. For the sake of Lord Fronzo, defeat me, and I will give you the respect you want!"
