Chapter 77: Bleem130

Puppet followed up with another three-game winning streak. There were no particularly special opponents; they were all high-ranking players in the EMP, and Puppet took them all out in one go. It seemed that after a round of probing, he found the opponents had no level worth looking forward to, so he wouldn't waste any time.

It must be said that the USE audience was satisfied. They ended the livestream feeling great, feeling that Puppet was playing with fire every day, but the more he played, the more intense it became.

Li Hao, having finished the battle, was just about to leave when his SkyNet device rang.

Bleem130: Participate in the USE mid-season military academy elite training.

Li Hao took a glance, the message vanished, and he couldn't help but feel a bit resentful in his heart. Why had Bleem been acting like he was going through menopause lately? One after another, it was endless. Did he think this was something he could just participate in whenever he wanted?!

Across the ocean in the North American region, the Beikaluosai S-Class Military Academy, the number one comprehensive military academy in the USE, possessed the Solar System's top faculty team and comprehensive resources, attracting elites from all over the Solar System. It was a behemoth that deserved its reputation.

Beikaluosai Academy possessed five teams and was also a USE military academy that had once held two S Tournament qualification spots. And now, the boss of Beikaluosai, as well as the undisputed strongest idol, was Nine-Headed Dragon Chao Qinglong, the number one person among hundreds of USE military academies and the head of the Six Dragons. For Chao Qinglong, his life would be complete with just one championship.

Likewise, at Beikaluosai, Chao Qinglong held absolute authority and status.

The teams were all training. Chao Qinglong had his own exclusive training room. Outside, the team members were strengthening their physical fitness. He was the overall team leader of the five teams. Outside the training room, there were quite a few fans watching. Every campus battle of the team was also the focus of everyone's attention. Beikaluosai possessed an arena that held 100,000 people, which was also the largest in the USE.

At this moment, Chao Qinglong was not training. He was shirtless and answering a SkyNet call. It seemed the person on the other end of the call was a bit agitated. Beside him, Chao Qinglong's girlfriend, the goddess of Beikaluosai, Ai Wei, had already acted in three hit movies before even graduating. It was the perfect combination of a male god and a goddess.

Chao Qinglong was very silent, and Ai Wei was very surprised, because no one had ever dared to yell like that; even the principal wouldn't. Although she couldn't hear it very clearly, the voice on the other side was very manic. It should be an acquaintance, but who could it be?

Chao Qinglong waited for the other person to finish speaking, was silent for a while, and said, "I'm not going."

The person on the other side hung up the SkyNet call without giving him any face. The training room suddenly became quiet. Chao Qinglong lowered his head and didn't say a word. The atmosphere was very heavy. Ai Wei slowly walked over, gently stroked Chao Qinglong's hair, and didn't speak, but she could feel the fluctuations in Chao Qinglong's emotions.

After a long while, Chao Qinglong raised his head and looked at Ai Wei, "Let's break up."

Ai Wei was stunned. Although there were surging waves in her heart, she was not an ordinary little girl and still steadily controlled her emotions, "Have you fallen for someone else?"

Ai Wei didn't believe it. At least within her field of vision, she hadn't met anyone who could compare to herself, and Chao Qinglong was a person with extremely clear goals and a firm will. He spent most of his time training. She knew him and understood him.

Chao Qinglong shook his head, "I want to become stronger."

Ai Wei was stunned and smiled beautifully, "You are already the strongest on Earth. Last year was because the Golden ZONE caught you off guard. This year, you will definitely be able to lead Beikaluosai to dominate the Solar System."

Chao Qinglong's gaze looked at Ai Wei, but his eyes were piercing through her, "No, it's far from enough. I want to become the strongest one."

What is more terrifying than being defeated by an enemy is... the helplessness of living behind others. He never wanted that again.

Chao Qinglong stood up and walked toward the door without looking back. From the moment he received the news of that person's comeback, he only had one goal left—the strongest!

Depuya hung up the SkyNet call. Third Brother... Chao Qinglong's reaction was no surprise, but he was just unwilling to give up; he had to hear Chao Qinglong's refusal in person. Without Second Brother, they couldn't beat Mars and the Moon. He had also notified a few people; some were willing to come, and some were not. Actually, it didn't matter. After all, it had been so many years, and everyone had their own aspirations. He just wished so much that Second Brother and Third Brother would join forces, then those bumpkins from the Moon and Mars would have no advantage. And some misunderstandings had to be cleared up face-to-face!

On the Moon, in the Alpharia Ring Zone, Xilian's private laboratory.

Ma'er waited quietly for Xilian to finish his experiment. He had thought that after Xilian recovered, he would quickly "reclaim lost territory," but it seemed he had no such intention. The young master of the past was high-spirited and sharp, but now he was somewhat unfathomable and didn't care much about anything. However, sometimes there was a kind of chilling feeling, for example, he liked to tear giant insects apart alive and dissect them. One had to know that the young master of the past had a very serious mysophobia. Of course, for someone who had been in a coma for several years, anything could change.

"Young Master, are you still participating in this year's NUP mid-season training?" Ma'er asked.

Xilian took a look at the masterpiece in his hand. The structure of these giant insects was very interesting. Although they were silicon-based, it was very strange that their living environment was exactly the same as carbon-based life. He had wanted to find some different surprises in this, however, the overall structure, and even the way the giant insects communicated, could all find their origins and corresponding theories in Earth's biology.

"Not participating. Let them toss and turn," Xilian said with a smile.

Ma'er also couldn't describe how he felt. The young master of the past was stern and didn't laugh, but recently he liked to laugh more and more.

"Young Master, I'm still a bit worried. If NUP wins three consecutive championships this year, will your plan be affected?"

"Ma'er, a forced melon is not sweet. After they hit the south wall, they will understand their position," Xilian said. He had probed once before, but the result was that those people from back then were not very willing to acknowledge him. It was normal; after all, so many years had passed, and their wings had hardened. Although some were willing, it was still out of consideration for the Merifis Family's sponsorship. This kind of perfunctory attitude had no value to him.

"Let the media under the company praise them well, in an all-around way, so that they feel this is their era." Xilian wiped the insect fluid on his hands and suddenly licked it. The taste was a bit stimulating.

"Yes, Young Master." Ma'er nodded. The tactic of killing with kindness worked in any era. Once problems appeared in S11, what awaited this group of people would be a hell of public opinion. Even if they won the championship, if the details were not good, the public, whose appetites had been spoiled, would demand even more.

Xilian took a look at Ma'er, "Do you think I want to kill them with kindness?"

Ma'er nodded. Xilian smiled, "Not so. Those who can be killed with kindness are trash. I am helping them grow. I still need them."

"Young Master, there is one more thing. I cannot make the decision on my own. Someone from Earth's EMP sent a message, wanting that person to participate in the S Tournament." If it weren't for Xilian saying he would consider how to treat that person, Ma'er would have directly rejected it, but clearly, the young master had other arrangements.

"Good, let him participate," Xilian nodded, "It's really been a long time since I've seen him. I miss him very much."

Ma'er was stunned, but still nodded. Now, many times he didn't know what the young master was thinking, but he didn't need to know either.

"What is the level of Tianjing Martial Arts now?"

"An old-established prestigious school of the USE, but this year's comprehensive ranking should be outside the top 20. It's not first-rate. Long Danni put in some effort, and the level has improved slightly this year," Ma'er said, clearly having done quite in-depth research.

Xilian smiled, and Ma'er couldn't tell what he meant at all.

"Young Master, of the list you gave, three scientists have already agreed, and one is unwilling. He has no interest in money," Ma'er said somewhat cautiously.

"Oh, Ma'er, are you getting old? Is it important whether he has an interest in money?" Xilian looked at Ma'er with a smile, "My requirement is to find everyone within the specified time."

"Yes, Young Master, I understand."

"Except for that person's matter, for everything else, I only want the result." Xilian took a look at Ma'er, "Magic Mirror, prepare the car."

"Yes, Master." The ground under Xilian's feet suddenly descended, and he slowly disappeared.

Ma'er was sweating without realizing it. He didn't know what the young master was going out to do, but this place was located on the far side of the Moon, dark all year round, and a considerable part of the area remained in its original state, very desolate and dangerous. However, with "Magic Mirror" there, there shouldn't be any problems.

The largest intelligent processing system now was Optical Brain Beta located at the Solar System Alliance headquarters, responsible for processing the incoming and outgoing information of the four great federations of the Solar System, as well as the operation of the EMP. But in reality, this model was just a castrated version. The truly most powerful Optical Brain Alpha was in the Merifis Family, and only the master of the Merifis Family could use it. No one knew to what extent Magic Mirror could go, but the fact that the Merifis could recover from a vegetative state was largely due to Magic Mirror.

At this time at Tianjing Martial Arts, the members of the Tianjing Second Team were still training in full swing. Overall, their mental outlook was very good, and they were very cautious about the campus tournament next Wednesday. Of course, there were exceptions; Huo Ying was exceptionally optimistic. Only he felt that they were sure to win.

Why?

After all, they possessed a Heavy Armor genius like himself!

As the Team Leader, Li Hao didn't seem to be in a hurry either. The integration of the team members couldn't be said to be good or bad. It was difficult to form overall tacit understanding in such a short time; it was more about getting familiar with each other. The competition between the first team and the second team within the academy adopted a 3+1 format: three singles matches at the same position, and one team battle. Each singles match was worth one point, and the team battle was worth two points. The one with the higher total score would win.

Everyone didn't go back this weekend, and even Ma Long stayed behind. Being able to defeat Gao Yunfeng in the campus tournament was definitely another delightful thing for Ma Long, so he volunteered to be the team's part-time administrator, and some life details suddenly became much easier. The others just needed to train.

The other five were doing five-man team coordination in the EMP. They had been playing for a day, and Li Hao was carefully looking at some of the details of their performance.

Ma Long took a look at Li Hao and then at the screen, "Are you acting as a team leader or a coach? Why don't you invite Professor Meng Ye back?"

"Professor Meng Ye is too textbook-oriented; he's actually not suitable for our current situation," Li Hao smiled. The Class Monitor disagreed. Meng Ye was a good teacher, but not a good coach.

"Give your brother the bottom line. Are you confident about next week's competition? I'm so worried I can't sleep."

Li Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes, "We haven't noticed this part in your carefree life at all."

"Haha, this is so that Gao Yunfeng can't get his way, right? You also know that the more glorious he is, the more it makes it seem like Manman's choice of me was a mistake."

"The first team's level is still there. Of course, our victory is also certain," Li Hao said. Losing was definitely not going to happen. Since the Bleem Mission had come down, it had to be executed. It seemed Bleem was particularly concerned about Earth.

"Damn, I just like this arrogance of yours. After it's over, I'll arrange a social gathering to celebrate for the brothers!" Ma Long clapped his hands hard. Li Hao's personality was still relatively steady. Of course, he felt that with two Supernovas like Wuzang and Ye Tong, they had a fighting chance no matter what.

Li Hao's Skynet communicator rang. He glanced at it and said, "Ma Long, I have something to take care of. Let Naiyi arrange the training tonight; I won't be coming back tonight."

Ma Long looked at Li Hao. "What is it? It's already urgent; if you don't watch over it, could it be that girl is asking you out? Don't tell me you're planning to stay out all night???"

Ma Laoshi was excited; this wave shouldn't be a loss.

Li Hao smiled. "What are you thinking? A Youyou is still out training, but she will come to cheer for the Campus Tournament. I have a few friends coming from out of town, so I need to host them."

(The overall rhythm of the story is an invincible-style flow. In recent years, I have particularly liked the anime One Punch Man. If I wrote the novel with one punch per fight, it would become a short story, so I will put a lot of effort into the combat details. I hope you all find it comfortable and enjoyable to read during your spare time or after work.)
