Chapter 642: Set the Table, Serve the Dishes!

Cheng Konghai seemed to be possessed by a strange emotion, stroking the patterns on the Heavenly Martial Box, "I don't know, I just felt it suited me when I saw it. Is that okay?"

Fronzo looked at Cheng Konghai and then at the Heavenly Martial Box, sorrow reappearing in his eyes, which had already transformed into a ghost body. He sighed softly, "This piece is called Shura; it is an ominous object. You had better reconsider."

Cheng Konghai grinned, "Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are in the hands of heaven. Meeting it is destiny."

This Shura was crafted by Fronzo for his son, but his son died in battle while executing a Shengge Task, leaving only this Heavenly Martial behind. This was also the fundamental reason why Fronzo reincarnated into a semi-ghost body to focus on his research.

It had been over ten years; Fronzo had always kept this Heavenly Martial in the deepest part of his collection, never expecting Cheng Konghai to dig it out. A tidal wave of memories surged into his heart—in truth, they had never disappeared, merely buried deep within his soul. In the Shengge training ground, two warriors in luxurious armor were bombarding Li Hao, who wore no armor, with everything they had.

Li Hao had been under the joint, frenzied assault of Cheng Konghai and Luo Bi for over an hour. Luo Bi's Rending Heavenly Fire Spear was also being used with increasing proficiency, becoming more and more in sync with the Heavenly Martial. After all, it was a work of Fronzo; aside from a monster like Li Hao, in the hands of others, it was utilized to its fullest potential. Li Hao himself was also amazed. He had let the two of them come mainly for the sake of their training and growth, but the strength of Cheng Konghai and Luo Bi truly exceeded his expectations.

And the ultimate reason turned out to be the Summon God he hadn't paid much attention to. He had originally thought he was just lending them some power at critical moments; this power, after being transmitted, was nothing more than an extra breath, at most having the effect of an adrenaline shot.

But in reality, the power itself was not the point. In the words of Luo Bi and the others, that "divinity-like" substance was too miraculous. It would cause the bottlenecks that troubled everyone to suddenly open up. Some were attribute shackles, others were Universe Power intensity shackles. If it didn't work once, after appearing multiple times, there would always be a mutation eventually. This, conversely, was the "comprehension" most needed to improve strength.

Luo Bi might be a bit of a playboy, but they discovered in their private discussions that the more "pious" one was, the more intense the effect seemed to be. For example, he and Depuya, whose strength was in the middle tier after entering Shengge, saw the greatest degree of improvement, and in key aspects at that. Like Maxis and the others, who were already very powerful, they could also borrow the power.

But the effect was not that significant, mainly because their own conditions were already good. Luo Bi felt it still depended on how close they were, after all, he was their big brother. Of course, Maxis and the others believed it was because their power was already so strong that the effect wasn't as obvious.

Then there were the two special cases, Zhou Naiyi and Dita. As a result... they had forgotten about Dandan. This guy was also a die-hard fan of the second brother; one could imagine without thinking that it would be extraordinary.

Luo Bi was panting heavily while resting. Dandan was still fighting. Damn it, his own set of Heavenly Martial was very cool, but why did it feel like Dandan's was better? The Heavenly Martial Dandan chose was the only one in Fronzo's collection without a weapon. He didn't know what Shura or not-Shura meant.

But it really suited Dandan too well. Although he didn't know what an Imperial Artifact looked like, the overall feeling was much better than a standard Heavenly Martial.

Dandan also felt this deeply. It was as free as breathing, and it suited his fighting style. Using both fists and legs was not the conventional kind, and the more he fought, the more energized he became.

Fearless, with no more attachments, a Star Ring exploded from beside Cheng Konghai, followed by a punch.

Li Hao was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had been careless. With an explosion, the training room blew up. He should have bought a more expensive Boundary Stone; he would never try to save money blindly again.

Luo Bi, who had flown into the air to escape the disaster, was also thinking about the same problem: should he stop hanging out with them next time? He was always an outsider, and it happened every time.

When Li Hao, who had finally finished dealing with things after some time, returned to his residence, the joy of reuniting with old friends had already been diluted. A trace of sorrow hung on his face—damn it, he was drowning in debt. Kuta, Gasimi, and Gaia were indeed excited when they saw Li Hao and rushed over. The three of them had received an invitation from the Star Casting Dragon Alliance. Kuta was one thing, but Gaia and Gasimi were indeed a pleasant surprise.

This, of course, was not Ning Long's own Star Swift ship; it was in the name of the Star Casting Dragon Race, inviting everyone to participate in the Star-Casting Alliance's activities. Li Hao had already received the news from Helena, and Ning Long had also sent him a special invitation. From her tone, Li Hao vaguely felt that she also knew what was about to happen.

... Haosen was also quite unlucky; it seemed like no one liked him.

The three of them, Kuta, were all very excited. It was clear they were very interested in the Star Casting Dragon Alliance. Li Hao had originally thought it was a package deal prepared specifically for Haosen; it seemed such an organization really existed.

"What's the use?" Li Hao was more concerned about practical benefits.

"Big Brother, it's heroic, super glorious! Anyone who obtains the title of Hero can gain the friendship of the Star Casting Dragon Race, including entering the home planet of the Star Casting Dragon Race. Although I don't know what's there, every Shengge Warrior who obtains the title of Hero becomes a hegemon or a peerless powerhouse. Their influence, might, and all aspects will be greatly improved. Oh, to marry into the Dragon Race, one must have the title of Hero. How was Emperor Augustus able to run to the Dragon Race's home planet to woo a dragon lady back in the day? It was because he had this. Just thinking about it, it's legendary. What a heroic and magnificent figure he was!" Gaia exclaimed with emotion. Augustus was the idol of every Celestial in this era. His life was truly glorious beyond measure; he wooed his way across the Star River and held power. It was just a pity he broke into a dead zone like the Creation Pillar; otherwise, what a prosperous scene the Ozil Royal Family would be today.

Just thinking about it, it's legendary; what a heroic and imposing figure he was!" Gaia sighed with emotion. Augustus is the idol of every Celestial in this era. His life was truly infinitely glorious; he wooed his way across the Star River and held absolute power. It is only a pity he trespassed into a death zone like the Creation Pillar; otherwise, what a prosperous scene Aozier would be today.

After interacting with Ning Long, it was hard not to develop a good impression of the Star Casting Dragon Race. Whether from her personal charisma, or the power they possessed themselves and the power they represented behind them, the Dragon Race was a more "heaven-chosen" existence than the Celestials. Added to the various story backgrounds since entering the Star River Alliance, the feeling the Star Casting Dragon Race gave him was... like an Emperor Emeritus. If it weren't for Li Hao constantly being influenced by the power of Bleem, he might also have been captivated by the charm of the Dragon Race.

Of course, this was none of Li Hao's business. As a type of intelligent civilization, the Dragon Race naturally had to consider its own interests. Being transcendent was also a persona.

"Are we going?" Everyone looked at Li Hao. Without realizing it, Li Hao had become the backbone here.

"Go, of course we're going," Li Hao laughed.

Seven days later, at the Ruling Shengge, the Xinglongta—almost every top-tier Shengge had a place for it. As the name suggests, it was prepared specifically for the Star Casting Dragon Race. Regardless of whether any Dragon Race members came, the Xinglongta had to be ready. This was a symbol of the great friendship and alliance between the Celestials and the Star Casting Dragon Race. After Ning Long arrived, the Xinglongta also had a master.

The Xinglongta was over three hundred meters high, towering into the clouds. The Xinglonghuan was built at the very top. From the exterior architectural style to the interior decoration, every detail was pushed to the extreme. The Dragon Race did not practice asceticism; on the contrary, the Star Casting Dragon Race loved magnificence. Their magnificence was different from the Sea People's; it was refined, and could similarly be described as luxurious. The Xinglongta of the Ruling Shengge had a long history. It was at that time that the Celestials and the Star Casting Dragon Race fought side by side to end the chaotic situation of the Star River World and established the unified Galactic Empire. The Xinglongta of the Ruling was also erected on Diwu Star at that time.

From the exterior architectural style to the interior decoration, every detail is pushed to the extreme. The Dragon Race does not practice asceticism; on the contrary, the Star Casting Dragon Race is very fond of opulence. Their opulence is different from the opulence of the Sea People—it is refined, and can likewise be described as luxurious. The Xinglongta of the Judgment Anthem has a long history; it was back then that the Celestials and the Star Casting Dragon Race fought side by side to end the chaotic state of the Star River World and established the unified Galactic Empire. The Xinglongta of Judgment was also erected on Diwu Star at that time.

The vast Xinglonghuan was already filled with laughter. Everyone who came was very excited. The logo of the Star-Casting Alliance also indicated that they were very likely invited to join. This was a great honor and opportunity, and at the same time, it highlighted their own potential. Whether it was a Celestial or another race, sending a Star Swift message could cause a wave of amazement. Of course, few people who joined were so lacking in composure; most would wait for others to discover it.

The Xinglonghuan was enormous, like an ecological environment from a fairyland. It was clear that a lot of effort had been spent to maintain it. Standing at the entrance was a familiar figure: the Mechanical Race's Kashika, who was responsible for checking invitations.

Until he saw Li Hao and the others, the light in his eyes jumped and brightened by several degrees, "You've come too."

There were already dozens of people in the hall, basically all very famous Sergeant Majors of the Ruling Shengge. They were mainly Celestials, but there were also Sea People, as well as Ghost Race, Insectoids, and other Giants. Peigele and Hu'ao, who had gone on missions together, were also there. Human friendships are all built in battle; the two of them also nodded when they saw Li Hao. Li Wu's final move had left a deep impression on them.

The main guests arrived one after another: Haosen, Helena, Ning Long, Defatandisi, and Aoliweina—these could be considered the five biggest names in the Ruling Shengge. A burst of cheers erupted at the scene. Several Sergeant Majors from the Council of Elders, such as Wudai, were all very excited. The new session of the Star Casting Dragon Alliance had finally arrived, and once Haosen became the Chief of the Star Casting Dragon Alliance, they would also rise with the tide. Today, there would definitely be a fierce battle. Helena, Defatandisi, and Aoliweina also had chances to compete for the position of Chief. Of course, Aoliweina's motivation was the smallest, while Helena and Defatandisi were making their final struggle. If Haosen were elected, then Haosen would inevitably be the Team Leader for the Holy Grail War, taking a big step toward Princess Hermia.

Family, at least three updates these few days. Let me recover first and organize my thoughts. The subsequent plot will revolve around the truth of Bleem, the Princess's background, and the secrets of the Ozil Royal Family. The hidden true enemy has already appeared. There should be five updates later; I feel that holding my breath in one go is something I'll get used to slowly.

Family, there will be at least three chapters a day for the next few days to recover and organize my thoughts; the subsequent plot will revolve around the truth of Bleem, the Princess's background, and the secrets of the Ozil Royal Family, as the true hidden enemy has already appeared. I should be able to do five chapters later on; it feels like holding one's breath, but you eventually get used to it.
