CH 31

Wu Xun truly appreciated and admired Li Hao's calmness and control over his killing intent and fighting spirit. How could he achieve this without years of practice and honing his skills?

But he saw it in a child of his grandson's generation.

It was truly incredible.

"Senior, you flatter me. Wu Zang has been very kind to me in school." Li Hao wasn't being humble. Wu Zang had always been like that, seemingly cold and distant but actually warm-hearted.

Wu Xun nodded. "I'm getting old. After exercising, I need to rest for half a day. You guys go have fun."

Wu Zang finally relaxed. He was afraid his grandfather would do something dangerous when his classmates came for the first time. But it turned out that Li Hao was really strong.

Leaving the gym, the three of them were panting heavily, especially A Youyou. "That was amazing. I thought aura and all that were just illusions. Was that thing called 'overcoming great obstacles with ease'?"

Li Hao smiled and pointed to his head. "It's not that exaggerated. Genetic modification not only makes the human body stronger, but also more adaptable to various environments. It also improves the brain. Generally speaking, the brain usage rate has increased, which can form a qualitative change in spiritual suppression for warriors."

A Youyou stuck out her tongue. "I don't understand, but it seems very powerful."

Wu Zang nodded. "The brain accounts for about 2% of the human body weight, but consumes 25% of the energy. After genetic modification, this power can be further enhanced. Martial arts training is about tapping into this power."

"But is it useful when operating mechas?" A Youyou asked curiously.

Li Hao and Wu Zang smiled at each other. "It's useful. The master leads the way, and the practice is up to the individual."

"Oh, I didn't know you were an exchange student from somewhere," Li Hao teased.

"Yes, I'm A Youyou. I was born on the moon, but my ancestors were also from Earth. My bloodline is very pure. Earth is beautiful, unlike the moon, which is either bald or too artificial. Looking at Earth from the moon, the colors are more vibrant, like looking at heaven."

Due to the perspective, Earth looked like a large basketball from the moon, beautiful and magnificent. Most native NUP citizens were envious of Earth, which had better conditions. This made them work harder to surpass Earth.

If it were just Li Hao and Wu Zang, they would have gone to play games out of boredom. But with A Youyou there, Wu Zang still had to be a good host and introduce the history of the Wu family, including his older brother, who was now the commander of a certain military district in the USE and Wu Zang's idol.

After dinner, the driver sent Li Hao and A Youyou away, and Wu Zang went back to the gym. Wu Xun was still sitting there."What do you think of today's sparring?" Wu Xun opened his eyes and asked calmly.

"Li Hao is strong, but Grandpa is even more powerful." Wu Zang looked at his grandfather, hoping he wouldn't bother their classmates anymore.

Wu Xun didn't say anything, he just looked sternly at Wu Zang, making him feel a bit confused.

"Your focus on cultivation is correct, but you're too rigid. Today, I lost," Wu Xun said calmly, "Your classmate is not an ordinary person."

Wu Zang was a bit surprised. It looked like a draw to him, and with Wu Xun's experience and strength, he definitely didn't use his full power.

Wu Xun pointed to the ground, where the floor of the dojo had already cracked. "I did this, but he didn't," he said.

With that one sentence, Wu Zang understood. Li Hao had been more than capable with his power.

"Grandpa, Li Hao was selected for the Revelation Youth Class," Wu Zang said.

Wu Xun nodded. "I know about that. He's been wronged. He has a killing aura, but he doesn't abuse it. He knows when to advance and retreat, and he has a sense of righteousness. That's why I'm relieved."

Wu Zang smiled. With Wu Xun's understanding of Li Hao, he must have thought of something else. After all, it wasn't just about strength, but also about character.

"That girl is also not simple," Wu Xun suddenly said.

Wu Zang was stunned.

"She remains calm in the face of favor or disgrace, knows when to advance and retreat, and doesn't lose her liveliness and innocence. She's very outstanding," Wu Xun smiled slightly. He had even noticed that she was disguising herself, but as an old man, he couldn't meddle in other people's affairs. "When are you going to bring someone back?"

Wu Zang blushed. "Grandpa, well... I haven't met the right person yet..."

"Haha, you kid. Love is also a kind of cultivation. If you want to achieve great things, you can't avoid the seven emotions and six desires..." Wu Zang had to endure Wu Xun's nagging. He remembered the time when they were the most popular guys in Tianjing. Wu Zang's face was turning red and he felt more painful than fighting for three days and three nights...

Zhuang Zhou was not idle, especially after he received an incredible piece of news.

Someone in Tianjing was once a member of the Revelation Youth Class in the Solar System.

The news spread for a few days, but soon calmed down. It was obviously just a rumor, and not a new one at that. If they really had the ability, why would they be unknown? It was even said that they had committed a crime, which only confirmed the rumor. So, no one paid too much attention to it.Actually, even ordinary students like Zhou Naiyi didn't care much about it, and Ye Tong knew a little, but she didn't witness it with her own eyes. Moreover, it was five years ago. Time can change many things, but Zhou Naiyi and Ye Tong still believe that Li Hao has a very good foundation in fighting, and he will definitely make progress in mecha. Others won't care about it.

But when this news reached Zhuang Zhou's ears, it was another matter. No matter what the situation was, he wanted to investigate it first.

Zhuang Zhou was a member of the dark web, which was a hacker-like organization that existed in the four major federations. Various forces intersected, and there were various small forces such as darkness, gray, religion, etc., but the news was still very well-informed.

It was normal that there was no such news on Sky Message, after all, it was an official channel, and Zhuang Zhou didn't find anything. This was a problem. Even if Li Hao was eliminated, there should be a reason, and it shouldn't be nothing. This indicated that he was being blocked.

Interestingly, the dark web only said that a major accident happened back then, involving three big shots, and it was said that an agreement had been reached and the ringleader had been punished...

So the question was, who was the culprit, who was eliminated, and maybe there were other people. Unfortunately, Li Hao also met these conditions.

In an instant, Zhuang Zhou's heart was ignited. Although they seemed to be unrelated, when connected together, this matter became interesting. Of course, there were also problems. Li Hao's grades were very poor. He originally took the news major, but was transferred to the mecha major. He was a mediocre person throughout the year, and his EMP scores were also average. It was said that he often skipped school...

Zhuang Zhou looked at the information in his hand and kept drawing circles. Anyway, he would explore it when he had time. If it wasn't the case, he would change his mind. Anyway, he felt that he and Puppet God were destined to have a connection. This was his sixth sense!

On the other side, Li Hao sent A Youyou back to the dormitory. It was another happy day. A Youyou still had homework to do, and Li Hao felt that he should work harder too.

When Li Hao went to the EMP hall, A Youyou was explaining to her aunt. She didn't run around, but stayed in the school dormitory. Since she was an exchange student, she couldn't always live in a hotel. Moreover, the security of Tianjing Mecha was very good. Tianjing was originally the city with the best public security, and at this time, Su Yu was in North America, so there was nothing to worry about. Watching the video, A Youyou was doing well in all aspects, so her aunt could only give up, but she reminded her not to expose her identity.

A Youyou also agreed with this. She was not a fool. Once her exchange student life was exposed, it would be over. She couldn't enjoy such a free and easy life on the moon.Opening the drawing board on Sky Message, Ayouyou began to create. Ever since she got into Mecha, she had been wanting to write a song and create an MV. It wasn't a new idea, but it wasn't enough to just participate in the Mecha competition. She wanted to combine it with the four major federations and even visit Kepler, which was also a place she longed for.

Ayouyou was hand-drawing a rough sketch and reminiscing about their battle. Sometimes she would create, and sometimes she would prop her chin up, lost in thought. As she thought, she began to smile.

In the EMP hall, Li Hao had just won five consecutive battles in a row. There weren't any particularly strong opponents this time, and Li Hao had reached 1200 points. During this period, because of the Mecha competition, the players who weren't able to participate fully had also returned to their positions.

The EMP system had a hidden score, so even if someone dropped below 1000 points due to not being able to compete for a long time, they would quickly return to their original position with a win streak. For someone like Li Hao, whose score was average in his first year, he had to steadily increase his points. Just defeating ordinary opponents wasn't enough to increase his score, he needed to further prove himself.

Li Hao was well aware of this mechanism, and since he had nothing to do today, he planned to work harder.

At this time, Zhuang Zhou couldn't be absent, and his live stream had already gained a million followers, making him the luckiest new streamer.

First of all, he had hit the jackpot by being the first to follow Puppet. When EMP signed a contract with Puppet, they gave Zhuang Zhou the right to livestream and even promoted him, allowing him to take off quickly. Of course, Zhuang Zhou also needed to sign a contract with EMP. There was a very delicate commercial mechanism involved. As long as Zhuang Zhou livestreamed Puppet's matches, part of the revenue from the livestream would go to Puppet. Of course, Zhuang Zhou's livestream room also became verified.

Ayouyou's dormitory was a single room. Originally, Ayouyou wanted to find a roommate, but Long Danni refused. Compared to making Ayouyou comfortable, Long Danni was more afraid of trouble.

Long Danni obviously wasn't a fan of any idols. Perhaps the songs were decent, but they weren't enough to interest her. As someone who had been on the battlefield, they were just meaningless sounds. The reason she allowed Arths to come was due to personal relationships and various considerations. Whether it was in the military or as a school principal, balancing relationships was necessary to gain greater benefits for the school. Of course, she didn't want to make this matter public. Tianjing Mecha Academy didn't need to rely on this to become famous.

Ayouyou quickly removed her makeup and took a shower. Sky Message was right in front of her, her feet fidgeting. She stared at it for a while, feeling strange. Really strange. When she first saw Li Hao, she wondered if she was sick because her body inexplicably felt a sense of closeness. It was a feeling like they had known each other for a long time, but hadn't seen each other in a long time. There was both joy and unease.Ah Youyou doesn't usually get too close to people, whether it's from her family, her childhood experiences, or her current occupation, keeping a distance is a basic requirement. But when Li Hao gets close, she feels joy in her heart, which is very strange.

"... Will the senior think I'm a weirdo if I'm so clingy?" Ah Youyou covered her face.
