"All personnel enter the spaceship in order," Lu Donglei's voice rang out.
Li Hao couldn't help but cry and laugh. If he continued like this, would he be expelled? Principal Long would kill him. "Alright, everyone return to the team. This training session will last a long time."
One by one, the team members returned to the team, but everyone's eyes on Li Hao had completely changed.
It was Tianjing Mech Martial Arts' turn. Li Hao and Zhou Naiyi and others registered one by one. Even the soldiers who registered them were surprised and looked at Li Hao. In the aisle, Zhou Naiyi and others remained silent, all looking at Li Hao strangely.
"What the hell, don't look at me like that. I'm getting nervous. Squad leader, can you set a good example?" Li Hao helplessly said.
"Cough, um, Captain, have you ever mixed in and been a godfather?" Huo Ying, who was as curious as a baby, asked.
"One person suppressing the Six Dragons, damn it." He openly admired. This was the script he thought about every day. He came to the mid-season tournament and was mighty and domineering. Many experts bowed down at the feet of Huo Ying.
"Bullshit, we're familiar with each other. Don't slander me. Also, don't drag me into your boasting!"
"Hao Ge, when Offee and the others came, we thought it was strange. We thought it was just them, but it turns out that most of the top experts on Earth know you. It feels like living in a dream. We're all in the same dormitory." Ma Long muttered, "Zuo Xiaopang, why are you laughing?"
"He's laughing because he finally has someone to rely on." Zhou Naiyi hit the nail on the head, "But that's just wishful thinking. Haven't you noticed? Chao Qinglong treats Li Hao as a mortal enemy. There's no room for maneuver with Perkins this time. He's the most cunning person. Everyone needs to be careful during the rest of the training."
"Sorry for the trouble, everyone." Li Hao touched his nose. It had been so long, and he thought it was all over.
"What are you thinking? You're our captain. If someone goes against you, they're going against all of us. It doesn't matter if it's a mad dog or a stupid dog. Who's afraid of who!" Zhou Naiyi said.
"Well said, squad leader. We came to the mid-season tournament to make a name for ourselves. It suits me!" Huo Ying gave a thumbs up.
Zhou Naiyi smiled slightly. She knew that Li Hao didn't want to cause trouble, but when Perkins insulted them, the moment Li Hao stood up for them, Zhou Naiyi had nothing to complain about.
Each team had its own separate cabin. At this time, another team entered. It was the Samode Academy led by Wuxiya. Wuxiya, one of the top three supernovas this year, was somewhat similar to Tianjing. With his own strength, he managed to raise Samode's ranking to 15. The members of Samode were also secretly looking at Li Hao. Wuxiya had already walked up to Li Hao. "Senior Li Hao, I've heard your name for a long time. One of my wishes for this mid-season tournament is to fight against you."
"Cough, actually, it's not necessary to fight. There are many experts here."
Wuxiya smiled, his green and crystal-clear eyes radiating a brilliant light. "The Demon King has returned. How can I miss it? Many people came here for you this time. Be careful."
After saying that, Wuxiya followed the soldiers into the adjacent area, and the team members behind him followed suit. The soldiers on Li Hao's side did not urge them. Zhou Naiyi and the others were already used to it. Before they came, they thought that no one knew about Tianjing Mech Martial Arts, but after they arrived, everyone knew about it.
Ma Long felt regretful. It was such a pity. If Sky Message was still here, he would have filmed the confrontation scene just now and posted it on the homepage. It would have been awesome. After all, he had also contributed. The peak of life!
As soon as they entered the cabin, Ma Long and the others were stunned. What was this?
All team members entered their assigned cabins. The mid-season training had begun, and each team had a different reaction because each room had surprises. During the journey to the destination, all team members had to be locked in with giant insects and enjoy the spiritual massage from the insects.
Top teams would find it easy, but in order for them to also enjoy it, the types of giant insects varied depending on their level. They all had to fully enjoy this massage treatment. At the same time, the scoring for each team had also begun. Of course, the higher the level of the giant insect, the higher the score. This was the only way to achieve comprehensive training.
The main purpose of this mid-season tournament was to find the strongest sixteen teams, not just internal rankings. To put it bluntly, it was useless in the S tournament. The other three major leagues had a very clear goal for this S tournament: to stop NUP from winning three consecutive championships at all costs.
So the first stop of this mid-season training was Mars.
Sazalak and Lu Donglei were in the command cabin of the spaceship, and their gaze extended to the vast sea of stars.
"Old Lu, do you know anything about that kid from Tianjing?" Sazalak asked.
"I've only heard rumors. Do you know about the Revelation Youth Class?" Lu Donglei said.
Sazalak frowned, "I've heard of it. It seems like a cruel exploration of human potential. There were many problems, and it has already been disbanded. All the records have been destroyed.""Regardless of the casualties or the aftermath, the most embarrassing part was our Earth. Five years have passed, and now, many of the young elites in the solar system are from that generation of the Apocalypse. The Six Dragons, NUP's Fan Liwei and Maxis, the Three Wolves of Mars, and a few kids from Titan, they all are. Geniuses always burst out in a concentrated period."
"I remember, your teacher was also one of the organizers of the Apocalypse back then, right? The files are gone, but he was one of the main parties involved, he must know something. We are now like grasshoppers on a string, if our performance in this battle is not good, our chances of promotion may be completely gone." Sazerak said.
"Haha, the teacher didn't say much, he just told me to pay more attention to this Li Hao. According to my inquiries, this kid and Chao Qinglong were among the toughest back then, but they didn't have much background. We were under pressure from the moon, so we let this kid take the blame. Now we want him to contribute, but he may not be willing." Lu Donglei laughed.
Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
Sazerak's face was serious, "To become a leader, who hasn't grown through hardship? At least he's still alive, and as long as he's alive, there's a chance. The question is, after all these years, does he still have enough strength?"
"That's what I want to see. From his reaction just now, this kid was really popular back then, and he and Chao Qinglong must have had a deep feud. It's actually a good thing, maybe it can stimulate Chao Qinglong and make him break through."
"The chances are slim. Haven't you noticed? This year's Chao Qinglong has changed a lot compared to last year. His aura has settled down. If it were last year, he would have taken action by now. This time, it feels different. Honestly, if any of the other five dragons had strength close to his, we wouldn't be so passive."
"So, we need to pay close attention, treat a dead horse as if it were alive." Lu Donglei smiled bitterly. A woman can't make a meal without rice. One person's dominance is not a good thing for USE.
On the big screen, there were the conditions of each room. In the rooms of the third-tier teams, there was a Razor Giant Insect. In the rooms of the second-tier teams, there were two Razor Giant Insects, and in the rooms of the first-tier teams, there was a Lurker Giant Insect.
The prepared teams quickly adapted. During the journey to Mars, they will continue to fight against the Giant Insects. Those who were unprepared faced unprecedented difficulties. Fortunately, there was only one Giant Insect, leaving some room for maneuver. But if a team can't even handle one Giant Insect, they don't need to participate in the following training.
In this S competition, without a strong enough mental power to activate K23, it is impossible to go far. Furthermore, a strong mental power must also have a robust body to support it, otherwise, it won't go far.
The first hurdle of the training is to test the mental and physical toughness of the team members.
Some of the lower-ranked team members looked pale at this time, feeling like they had been rubbed by a dog, and more than once. They were really unprepared for this. Although their willpower was strong, they were still being tortured terribly. But now they could only grit their teeth and persist. The soldiers outside had already said that if they admit defeat, they can be relieved, but it also means that they will be eliminated.
Those who could come here were not weak, and the military department was still restrained. Six team members against a Razor Giant Insect, even without preparation, would not collapse directly.
Overall, the difficulty for the third-tier teams was a bit high, but no team had given up yet. The second-tier teams were well-prepared and knew to unite to conserve energy. Of course, they were assigned two Razor Giant Insects, so life was a bit harder.
The sixteen teams in the first tier were assigned a Lurker Giant Insect. The Lurker Giant Insect didn't seem as fierce as the Razor Giant Insect, but the fear it instilled was different. It wasn't the kind of tearing fear, but a strong sense of danger, constantly harassing and entangling, making people extremely uncomfortable, always struggling on the edge of death. This was a more advanced Giant Insect fear.
Originally, with the ranking of Tianjing Mech, they wouldn't have been treated this way. Unfortunately, although they passed the first hurdle smoothly, they had to endure this higher-level massage technique.
Fortunately, they had similar experiences before. Unfortunately, they had no experience in dealing with Lurker Giant Insects.
"Brother Hao, quick, quick, block it!" Ma Long couldn't help but shout, "This thing is too weird, let me catch my breath."
Li Hao was stunned, "How do I block it?"
"Just like in school, didn't you block it with one move?" Ma Long said anxiously.
"Do you see me moving now?" Li Hao pointed helplessly at the seat belt on his body. Everyone was fixed in their seats.
"What should we do then, oh my god, Zuo Xiaopang, you're inhuman, you've gone invisible again!" Ma Long couldn't help but complain. They were supposed to fight together, but once Zuo Xiaotang lost his breath, he would enter an "invisible" state. The Giant Insect wouldn't bother him, but the pressure would be divided among the others.
