Chapter 628: Dimensional Reduction Strike

In this battle, Li Hao advanced to level 45 as a Sergeant Major. Seeing that there was no expression of joy on Li Hao's face, some Celestials and Sea People began to admire him; he was humble in victory and possessed the demeanor of a great general.

Li Hao dragged Kashika away. Damn it, he had lost four million; he had only managed to take down two targets of any real weight, and he felt like crying—how could he possibly smile? Given the production capacity of the Orcs, those small scraps were useless. He must have been drunk and carried away; he had to stay calm next time.

"You should be happier. If I didn't know better, I'd think you lost," Kashika said, a bit confused.

"I am very happy," Li Hao squeezed his face, "Look, I'm smiling very brightly... Say, Kashika, for the money I owe, does the Sacred Song have a repayment deadline?"

"There isn't a very clear regulation on this, because only a Ladder Sergeant Major can borrow this much, and Sergeant Majors generally don't default on their debts," Kashika said.

"Are there any 'second-class' situations?" Li Hao asked.

"Huh?" The Mechanical Race member tilted its head, looking like it didn't understand.

"It's nothing. It's good that there's no repayment deadline. *Cough, cough*, you should also help me keep an eye out for any high-paying missions. Anything will do, I can even sell myself; I'm not a person who likes to be in debt," Li Hao said, putting on a brave front. The biggest loss was the last one; he had wanted to give the Orcs a friendly reminder, but damn it, they could actually endure that—were they even Orcs anymore?

"Understood, I will keep an eye out for you. Also, regarding the matter of Humans wanting to recruit the Mechanical Race, if the Solar System establishes a Sacred Song, I can help make contact," Kashika suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao grabbed Kashika in a hug, "Woooo, good brother, this is the best news of the day."

Li Hao and Kashika returned to the private room. Gaia, Kuta, and Gasimi had already become Li Hao's little fanboys. Kuta jumped directly onto Li Hao, "Brother, you—you are too awesome! I hate Orcs the most; they are ugly and dishonest. Great fight! From now on, Orcs will have to take a detour when they see you!"

Gaia finally understood what Li Hao meant when he said not to worry about Haosen. With Li Hao's influence today, even Haosen would have to give him some face. This wasn't just a level 45 Sergeant Major, but a ruthless man who dared to challenge the entire Shou race. Of course, the Orcs certainly wouldn't let it end there, but before that, who would dare to provoke him?

Wouldn't they weigh the consequences?

"Li Ge, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Are you worried about Orc retaliation? Relax, they wouldn't dare mess around within the Sacred Song, and I don't think they can beat you, haha." Kuta was so happy, feeling as if he had won the victory himself. Just a moment ago, Aoliweina had been subtly fishing for information from him—hehe, he had so much face.

Li Hao sat down with a thud, "I have a question. Given the situation at the time, Kuta, if it were you, would you have gone up if you were Diduowu?"

"What? Diduowu? Go up for what?" Kuta was stunned.

"To fight me. I had already fought eighteen battles; he should have seen that I was at the end of my rope. Such a good opportunity, why didn't he seize it? I had insulted them so much?" Li Hao was completely baffled. Along the way, he had pondered it; he hadn't revealed any overly obvious power. That guy should have been a top-tier Orc Warrior, even a cut above this Lafayanmowu. How could he not have come? He couldn't understand it.

"You're agonizing over this?" Gaia and the others looked at each other in dismay.

"Yeah, what a great opportunity. I was prepared to wipe them all out, but one actually ran away," Li Hao said with a look of regret.

Gaia, Kuta, Gasimi, and Kashika stared at each other with wide eyes, not knowing what to say. How could this person say such shocking things in such a tone? He had actually wanted to wipe out all the top combat power of the Orcs in the Sacred Song from the very beginning.

"Li Ge, do you have some misunderstanding about power?" Gaia tried his best to understand Li Hao's thinking, "You've fought 18 people along the way, using both Ice and Fire powers, plus some other abilities we don't quite understand. Every match was against a master. Your Glory Zero wasn't even broken, and you didn't even use your harpoon blade. The Orcs only have one life; anyone with a brain wouldn't dare to go up."

"Harpoon blade? Damn, I forgot about that." Li Hao had been interrupted, so he hadn't thought about that part. As for the Celestial Armament, he didn't want to break it; a new one cost 800,000.

Acting—it really wasn't his forte. In fact, the flaws were always there, but the Orcs' confidence was too strong. Only when Lafayanmowu was frozen did even the most confident ones wake up.

"Li Ge, how did you counter the Blue Fire? That stuff is too fierce. It's said that only those with extremely high talent can possess Blue Fire." Kuta's eyes were sparkling; he had admired him before, but now he admired him even more.

"Ah, you mean that? It's similar to Spirit wavelengths, nothing much," Li Hao said, his mouth not idle as he stretched out a finger, "Look, red, blue, purple..."

The people in the room went quiet again, looking at each other... Li Hao was a bit hungry; he needed to eat more.

"Li Hao, how many types of Zouhuo can you master?" Kashika asked curiously.

"Do you guys have many different types of this?" Li Hao was stuffing his face, like a bear preparing for winter.

"Li Ge, you won't have any friends if you're like this. Most of us Celestials have Red Flame, but when advancing to Universe Storm, a very small number of people master Blue Fire. The lethality doubles, and the Spirit burning also increases; it has strong corrosion against Celestial Armaments. It's said that above that there is Scarlet Flame, and some are special Purple Fire... Black Fire... these are even rarer..."

The small flame on Li Hao's finger turned black. This wasn't just a change in color; those present were knowledgeable, and they felt the nature of the Zouhuo change along with it. Each of these powers was something others could only dream of.

Never mind Kuta and Gaia, even Gasimi and Kashika realized that this Human before them would definitely be a big shot in the Star Alliance in the future. This talent was unheard of. And more importantly, he was showing them such important things—the mysteries and secrets of power—without any concealment, even teaching them.

"Brothers, let's have a toast to our Li Ge, the new rising star of the Juece!"

"Waiting for Li Ge to lead us to dominate the Juece!" Gaia also felt a surge of passion. He didn't need any special fire; as long as he could comprehend Blue Fire, he wouldn't be afraid of any Haosen.

Gasimi's two little pigtails twitched with excitement.

"Drink up, drink up! Kashika, don't nurse your drink, join in, don't be polite!" Kuta especially liked to urge Kashika to drink. Kuta had mastered the culture here perfectly, and the way the Mechanical Race looked shy while drinking was really fun. He wondered if they would crash if they drank too much.

He hadn't wanted to drink, but being too sober was uncomfortable. Li Hao also decided to drink more; at least he could selectively forget something.

Li Hao and his group were having a blast. Now, countless Sacred Songs were speculating about the background of this Human, Li Hao. Humans, who were like grass in the Sacred Song, were no longer without presence, and even the Humans within the Sacred Song felt the concept of respect for the first time.

"This person must have a connection to the Dragon Race; his fire combat technique and mindset are dragon-shaped."

"Other civilizations have dragon shapes too."

"No, no, a buddy of mine is in the Juece. I heard he's very close to the Dragon Girl, often eating alone together, always seen together. You tell me, could that be possible if there's no connection!"

"Fake, right? How is that possible? That's the Dragon Girl!"

"Damn, it's not like you don't know people in the Juece Sacred Song; just ask around and you'll know. How could this be fake? The Juece is buzzing with it. This guy definitely has a problem. He just arrived at the Juece not long ago and already climbed the Heavenly Ladder, and with such strength—eighty percent chance he's a big shot cultivated by the Star Casting Dragon Alliance. The Dragon Race travels the Star River, specifically cultivating experts from various races; it's not surprising that a Human was chosen. Many new civilizations back in the day were also favored by the Dragon Race."

"Then the Orcs have really kicked an iron plate this time. Does that mean the Dragon Race is optimistic about the development potential of Humans?"

"Although Humans are part of the Celestial Seed Project, they aren't the current ones; they were left behind before the Star River War. It's different. Maybe there's some special significance in it."

"Really, except for the difference in pupils, they are exactly the same."

"Let's wait and see."

Meanwhile, in the Juece Sacred Song Committee, Helena also silently finished watching the battle and dialed Fronzo's Star Swift, "Master, have the results come out?"

During the battle with Li Hao, Helena had used the Imperial Artifact Order Prisoner, one of the purposes of which was to steal a bit of Li Hao's Universe Power, which she then handed over to Fronzo for analysis.

On the other end, Fronzo looked overwhelmed, "This isn't right, this isn't right. Helena, did you make a mistake? Why is this Universe Power attribute exactly the same as yours?"

Helena...

At this time, the Solar System Council had already broken up in discord; as long as they wanted to argue, they could endlessly fail to reach a conclusion.

At this moment, the three old friends Kelongxier, Tema, and Wubente were drinking in a clubhouse. Above them was the brilliant starry sky, and the servers around them were all young, beautiful, and stunningly fit bunny girls. This was Kelongxier's taste; he liked this kind—furry and especially comfortable.

There was no sign of the righteous indignation from the council on the three men's faces; they were laughing and talking. The bunny girls had already lit their cigars and placed them in their hands.

Fine wine, beautiful women, cigars, looking up at the Star River, feet on the ground, holding the power of life and death—this was their life; what did anything else matter?

"This Li Hao cannot be kept. Block the information in the Sacred Song, then guide public opinion to say that the conflict with the Orcs was provoked by him, and then deal with him," Tema said.

"Correct, this will make our allies support us even more firmly," Wubente said, "Makemu and those guys have a rebellious streak; we'll find an opportunity to deal with them one by one later."

Kelongxier blew a smoke ring, enjoying the gentle and delicate service of the bunny girls, his brain feeling a wave of pleasure, "Li Hao, Makemu, and that bunch still have some ability, but we must never spoil these lower-class people. Ever since the Kepler War, they've become incredibly arrogant. Every time they challenge us, if we indulge them once, they really think they're the masters."

The three laughed heartily. They were professionals at playing power games, with no bottom line. Makemu couldn't fight them, but as they laughed, Tema and Wubente suddenly began to bleed from their seven orifices, and all the bunny girls lost movement. Kelongxier was instantly terrified; at this moment, the bodyguards outside the door were already lying in a heap.
