Chapter 632: Eating One Fish Two Ways

"Do you want to try this defensive type?" Fronzo pointed to another one and said.

Li Hao nodded and used the defensive Heavenly Martial Warrior, specifically choosing a non-elemental one. As his Universe Power surged in, the defensive Heavenly Martial Warrior, with its different focus, was certainly sturdier, but during the conversion of the Universe Power wave band, the energy crystal still couldn't hold up. The result was the same, and it exploded even louder than before, like firecrackers during the New Year.

This left Fronzo completely stumped. How could this be? He was a Tianwu Master, and he had just been bragging. If he couldn't defeat Haosen because he didn't have a suitable Heavenly Martial Warrior, who would take the blame for this?

If it were just that Li Hao lacked the strength, that would be one thing, but he had already fought multiple Orc experts in a row, which already provided the basic strength required for a challenge. Engaging Haosen was inseparable from an excellent Heavenly Martial Warrior. If one said that the fire-type characteristics repelled multiple Spirit fluctuations, then a non-elemental defensive Heavenly Martial Warrior should have been no problem, yet it still exploded.

Li Hao looked at Fronzo, a mischievous smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and frowned, "Master, could it be my problem?"

At the word "Master," Fronzo's old face turned red, "That shouldn't be it. Humans are similar to us; even Orcs can do it, so it makes no sense. Could it be that you are relatively special?"

It made no sense; his Spirit strength was only in the state of a Universe Storm, and even if it were stronger, the Heavenly Martial Warrior shouldn't be unable to hold up.

"How about we forget it? I'll just go up like this. If it really doesn't work, I'll request not to use a Heavenly Martial Warrior when I fight Haosen, so I won't add to your troubles." Li Hao spread his hands helplessly.

Once Fronzo heard this, he got worked up; those who do research are actually all the same, "That is definitely not allowed! That kid Haosen is as cunning as a monkey. I will tailor-make one for you; your situation has great research value!" Seeming afraid that Li Hao wouldn't cooperate, he added, "This will also be very helpful for the future mecha design of you humans."

Fronzo wanted to prove his strength as a Master; he hadn't made a move in a long time, but this matter was worth it.

Li Hao was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately followed Fronzo happily. This process was a way to understand the production process of such top-tier custom Heavenly Martial Warriors, and at the same time, he also wanted to use weapons he was comfortable with.

Li Hao followed Fronzo into the core area of the research institute and began testing. If it were to be tailor-made, it would require a comprehensive understanding of Li Hao's Spirit state, then selecting the best materials, and choosing the energy engine system based on Spirit strength. Of course, there was a limit to this; the strongest currently was the Ninth Generation Energy System. Finally, there was the form and selection of the weapons.

Weapons one is comfortable with are still very important for a Warrior.

Li Hao let Fronzo fuss over him for an entire day, collecting all kinds of data. How should he put it? Li Hao also gradually realized that he had broken them on purpose, and this old man was just pushing the boat with the current, giving himself a comprehensive test. Li Hao did not hide anything and demonstrated the volatility of his Spirit wave band directly, which shocked the old man once again. He had never encountered such a technique, and he also understood why the Heavenly Martial Warrior was so popular. This kind of wave band conversion was too smooth; the energy crystal couldn't react in time, and even the conversion of dual-cultivation attributes couldn't be this fast. Li Hao's Spirit was extraordinary. Fronzo knew that being greedy for too much leads to nothing, but that was for ordinary Warriors; geniuses were not in that category. Li Hao was unique, and no one knew what he would grow into in the future.

As an expert in the field of Spirit, he opened up his perspective and was very optimistic about Li Hao.

Li Hao was also increasing his chips, raising his status in the eyes of the Arbitration. Whether it was for Shilada to understand or for some other purpose, it didn't matter. Anyway, these superficial powers were for people to see. This was not the Solar System; being too low-key would not solve the series of problems currently faced.

It was obvious that Fronzo had become much more serious. Regarding the weapon form of the battle armor, Li Hao explained in detail the structure of the Cross Wheel and the form design of the Blood Moon. A blade is still a blade, but there is a big difference; both can be used, but encountering such an opportunity, Li Hao also wanted to create ones he was comfortable with. Moreover, this meant that Wuzang and the others would also be able to use the same weapons very comfortably. As long as Fronzo produced them, they could be used when mass production started later. Li Hao was also planning for the long term; now it was called taking advantage of the situation. If he made requests later, who knew what kind of conditions the other party would set.

As for the Cross Wheel, driven by the current state of Universe Power, it would only be more flexible and sharp. This was in preparation for group battles; a handy weapon would be faster even at cutting wheat.

"If there's no problem with the design, I want a scabbard," Li Hao said. The feel and the sense of ritual were still very important.

Fronzo had no objections to this; many nobles had such habits, and the sense of ritual was important. However, the scabbard Li Hao wanted was quite particular. To help Fronzo understand, he even took out the structural diagram of the Black Night Saber, which he had long ago asked Kevin to prepare. This was a prepared move.

An expert understands at a glance. This form of mecha had appeared before the Celestial Civilization, and later, with the further improvement of theory and materials in the interstellar Great Age of Discovery, stronger Celestial Armaments appeared.

A Master's vision is universal. Fronzo could see the other party's intentions and some details of offense and defense from it, and even understand some of the concepts and understanding of human civilization through this design.

Li Hao really enjoyed using the Black Night Saber and the Armor Leopard's Cross Wheel. There must be details and forging engineering in this, but this was not his specialty, so it was better to leave it to the professionals.

Fronzo slowly savored the flavor and let Li Hao go back first. Li Hao, who had been tossing about for a day, also left with satisfaction. He was also looking forward to his first exclusive Heavenly Martial Warrior.

His stomach was a little hungry, and just as he was about to find a place to solve it, his Star Swift rang.

"Li Hao, it's me. Do you have time to sit together?" Xilian said.

"I haven't eaten yet, let's go together," Li Hao said casually.

Being human, Li Hao was also genuinely envious of Xilian's good fortune. Some people were never short of money from birth. Fortunately, he always had such a big spender by his side. Last time he uprooted Melafeisi, this time... he hoped he would learn his lesson this time and not target him. Uh, last time seemed to be Nangong Yuhang's fault.

————

Looking at Li Hao stuffing his face, Xilian was also a bit speechless. Was it necessary to be like this? It seemed a bit pretentious, but in fact, when the Tianqi Youth Class first arrived, this guy was just like this, crazily devouring food, as if he were possessed by a gluttony demon. Now that he was someone with status, he was still like this. Of course, with his personality, he wouldn't comment on others, so he waited slowly for Li Hao to finish, being very patient.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Li Hao let out a burp, his mood suddenly improved, and his expression toward Xilian softened, "What's the matter with me?"

Xilian was also crying and laughing, feeling that he had come specifically to eat, "There really is something; I want to ask you for a favor."

There was no need to beat around the bush with Li Hao. This person looked simple, but in reality, he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

"Oh?" Li Hao was noncommittal; after all, Xilian's favors were not easy to help with, whether on the Moon or Diwu Star.

"Help me insult Haosen and make him unable to stay in the Arbitration." Xilian got straight to the point and then waited for Li Hao to set conditions. For a while, he had been annoyed by his previous identity and wanted to cut it off completely. Later, he thought it wasn't bad; having such a connection on an alien planet actually made one feel exceptionally close. This could also be felt from Li Hao; humans were very lonely in the Star Alliance.

Li Hao was noncommittal, "You really think highly of me. Why don't you do it yourself? Looking at you, you don't seem like someone who would be afraid of Haosen."

Xilian smiled slightly, "Fear is not the case; it's just that I cannot defeat him head-on."

Li Hao leaned back in his chair and relaxed his body, "To defeat Haosen without making enemies, it's mainly because you're worried about creating irreconcilable contradictions with the Yimogu Family, which would affect your subsequent plans, right?"

Xilian shrugged, neither admitting nor denying. Negotiations, after all, depend on who has more needs. He didn't expect that Li Hao hadn't been here long, but he had figured things out quite clearly, "What do you want? I can provide you with the best Celestial Armament."

Li Hao looked at Xilian and couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you kidding me? You're afraid of offending the Yimogu Family, so why wouldn't I be? I'm a newcomer who just arrived and wants to get along well in the Arbitration. Xilian, this isn't a trading attitude; this is smashing the place."

Xilian was not angry and smiled slightly, "Stop pretending. You weren't even afraid when you came to me, so how could you be afraid of him? This is a transaction. Don't ask for too much, and don't offer too little. Say what you want, just don't go too far."

"I want five Artist Class Destroyer..." Li Hao hadn't finished speaking when he saw Xilian stand up and prepare to leave, so he hurriedly took a deep breath, "Of course, I know that's impossible. Five active Ring-shaped Spaceships, and they cannot be downgraded!"

These were the interstellar starships equipped for Galaxy Warriors to carry out missions; their mobility, firepower configuration, and Warp Engine were all very mature.

Xilian stared at Li Hao, "One. This level of starship should be something that money can't buy for the current Solar System."

The arms business had always been the main source of income for the Celestial, so pirates and racial conflicts were constant; that way, the Celestial could sell weapons. If there were no wars, who would they sell to?

"What's the use of one? You are a noble of the Seventh Art, and I am a commoner, risking my neck on Aozier's territory, fighting to the death with Aozier's biggest family. Don't I have to consider the future? If it were you, would you risk your life for one starship?" Li Hao said disdainfully, "Perhaps humans can't buy them now, but buying them is only a matter of time. It's not like you don't understand the situation of humans; it's not as bad as you think."

Xilian remained silent, "Five is too many. The entire human foreign exchange reserve is not enough. You are a bit whimsical!"
