Skeleton Elf
Chapter 577 A Man's True Colors
On the way to class, Kuta was in high spirits, his smugness overflowing. He had shared his thoughts and plans with his sister, Olivia, last night. Usually, Olivia would immediately reject them and give him a lecture, and Kuta was sure she derived some kind of pleasure from it. But this time, she had listened quietly and said she would seriously consider it.
For the first time in his life, Kuta felt triumphant, a feeling even better than spending money!
The Gravitational Force Class.
After sensing and controlling gravitational force for a period of time, students would learn gravitational force combat techniques and the use of Celestial Armaments, gradually coming into contact with the core power of the Celestials.
This time, they didn't use the useless Naer Stone. The instructor seemed a little embarrassed as well, and each student received a sword.
"What you have in your hands is a practice component of the Celestial Armament, used to guide gravitational force. This batch of Naer Stones has been used for too long and is unstable, and the new ones haven't arrived yet, so we're using Naer Swords in advance," Gilmore said. "Ahem, don't swing them around. This is not a Celestial Armament, just for guiding gravitational force."
The few aliens present immediately lost interest, except for Li Hao, who was very serious. Gilmore noticed him. His own talent had reached its limit, and he only hoped to retire at the level of chief sergeant. Seeing someone interested made him feel gratified. After all, when doing a job, it was good to feel that someone appreciated it.
Gilmore patiently explained the origin of gravitational force. Understanding its history was part of understanding gravitational force. The Celestials hadn't mastered gravitational force from the beginning. In their early stages, their power showed signs of diverse development, and they also struggled with whether to pursue technology or spiritual power. But the Celestials were remarkably tolerant and inclusive, managing to advance in both directions without causing a complete split.
Within intelligent civilizations, disagreements on the direction of evolution can be even more unacceptable than differences between two civilizations. The Celestials had achieved it. While advancing technology, they had also reached a high level in their research on the body. They had gone through a genetic technology phase, but ultimately believed that the soul was the source of power.
"Every life has a different soul. The material in the Naer Sword can activate it. Calm your minds and feel it," Gilmore said with a smile. "Imagine yourself as a drop of water merging into the ocean. Don't focus on the intensity. Perception itself is the most important."
Li Hao held the cobalt sword and slowly channeled his power. This time, he paid extra attention. He felt a mysterious sensation, as if the Naer Sword in his hand suddenly had a heartbeat, and the two resonated. In fact, humans in the Golden Zone stage were already very similar to the Celestials. If humans were given the corresponding resources and time, it would only be a matter of time before they developed similar weapon systems.
The elements contained in the Naer Stone and the cobalt sword were important technologies for humans. He could sense K23 in them, but it was more than just K23. Of course, these were all basics. The Celestial Armaments were even more amazing.
Li Hao had a strong desire for knowledge. His own situation couldn't be widely applied, but the Celestial system could definitely be used on humans. Not to mention the nonsense of dominating the universe, but once they mastered this power and acquired Celestial Armaments, humans could definitely form Star Alliance standard combat power in a short time.
He even thought that the concept could be used on mecha.
Once they had combat power, their survival and development space would increase, and they would also get more resources.
Throughout the class, Li Hao remained focused and asked questions from time to time, which made the others look at him strangely. Li Hao didn't care. Gilmore answered every question seriously, turning the class into a private lesson for the two of them.
In fact, for a new civilization, such dedicated answers were the most valuable treasure. From the admiring look in Li Hao's eyes, Gilmore felt for the first time that he wasn't just wasting his time.
As soon as class ended, Li Hao was mysteriously pulled aside by Gaia and Kuta, along with a bewildered Gasmi.
"Brothers, I know a particularly great place!" Gaia said mysteriously. "The art of the soul, cultivating the mind!"
Kuta's eyes also lit up. "Yes, art, elegant art!"
Gasmi's beady eyes were full of doubt. Li Hao had guessed what it was, but he was busy and not very interested in it.
Gaia and Kuta didn't care about their objections, dragging Li Hao and Gasmi away. They wanted to do good deeds, and the whole family should be together. The main thing was to open the eyes of two unsophisticated brothers.
The four of them sneaked up to a building. Gaia and Kuta were already climbing the wall. Li Hao and Gasmi on the ground were speechless. What were they doing?
"Come on up, don't use your powers, you'll be discovered. Climb up yourself, be careful, there's a surprise!"
Soon, the large and small figures were clinging to a huge window twenty meters high, cautiously poking out half their heads. Then another small head popped out, and instantly both of their eyes widened.
In the hall, more than fifty girls from various civilizations were taking a court dance class. This was a Celestial noble class, only girls with sufficient status could attend. It was the one that cost a million per semester, which Li Hao had strongly disdained.
Because sometimes, Princess Hermia would also come to this class. Only women could sign up, and they had to go through strict screening, which made it very significant.
Half were Celestials, followed by Sea People, and fewer from other civilizations.
Gaia wiped his saliva. "Wow, so white, so long, the shaking, the aftershocks are awesome!" Kuta wasn't much better, his big eyes shining. This was life, this was art!
Whether from the Celestial or the Sea People's aesthetic, it was quite amazing. Li Hao saw Dasha, already materialized, still with that cold expression, a unique flavor among the many gentle beauties.
Olivia was also there. Although the Sea People girls were petite, their proportions were excellent, not at all inferior. The white dress was very economical in material, which was very good, save where you can. Figure was very important. Those who did not pass the figure were unable to join. There was a strict standard for Celestials and Sea People. With her proud little face, she was still extremely proud even in this place where noble girls gathered.
"Really good!" Kuta said happily. Except for Olivia who was a little annoying, the others were all top-notch beauties, especially Helena, the lead dancer, was even more superb. A black evening dress, that sexy curve, those white long legs, and the visual impact formed by the traditional black dress of the Ozil Empire, filled Kuta's big eyes a little bloodshot.
Sure enough, there were aftershocks.
With the same origin genes, the Celestials were the perfect version of humans, and did not need to adjust their genes. They were born like this. Their bodies had very few flaws, and almost all grew in the direction of showing off their gender charm. The stronger the power, the better it was in this regard, highlighting the dominance of creatures. Although it was not very pleasant to hear, it was like a genuine product and a high imitation. In fact, this was a common view of humans.
Those petite ones were the Sea People. Olivia was really outstanding. Without being so sharp, the focused little beauty paid attention to every manner and every movement. Li Hao didn't understand this kind of dance, and he didn't understand it on Earth either, but they were all used to show beauty, and beauty was always worth appreciating. The three were very focused, maybe they had never been so focused during training.
"Helena is indeed the Flower of Judgment, the Black Rose, she dances so white, her body is so... flexible..." Gaia's eyes focused. Roses had thorns, otherwise he really wanted to pursue her. Helena completely grew on his aesthetic, and she had a good background, a good friend of the princess, definitely a capable assistant to revitalize the family.
Kuta, despite being small, liked the Celestial figure. He didn't like the small Sea Race at all, there was no sense of accomplishment or conquest.
Gasmi was very helpless, what was so good about this, but the one leading the group... was very powerful.
Helena was instructing everyone's movements, she was responsible for this course, and was concentrating. Suddenly, she felt a strange feeling, completely instinctive. She immediately looked at the window on the right, and with a wave of her hand, a black lightning bolt shot out.
The four heads outside the window immediately shrank back the moment Helena turned around. The window shattered, and Helena's body flashed and was already floating in the air, coming to the window, looking outside...
All she saw was broken glass, and frowned slightly. Was it her illusion?
There must be someone, but there was no killing intent. It should be peeping, which happened every year, a bunch of guys who didn't know how to live!
Buzz~ A halo spread out from Helena's body, instantly covering a hundred meters around. After a while, Helena shook her head strangely. There was nothing unusual. If she found them, she would inevitably punish them. If she didn't catch them, it was their good luck.
At this time, on the side of the building, the four people covered their mouths, not daring to breathe, hiding all the aura on their bodies to the freezing point, not even daring to let their hearts jump.
Until Helena put away the detected "Gravitational Force Circle", the four ran away, came to the forest behind, and lay on the hillside laughing loudly.
Gasmi had an innocent face, "What are you doing?"
Gaia waved his hand, "You don't understand."
"You really don't understand!" Kuta laughed until the wrinkles were piled up together, "I like the biggest and whitest one."
"You have good eyes, you deserve to be golden, that's our Black Rose Helena of Judgment, a 50th level Chief Sergeant, the owner of the Dark Prisoner Imperial Armament, specializing in binding." Gaia laughed, "Can you handle it?"
"Don't ask, just say I can. I've decided, making Helena my girlfriend is my second goal here!" Kuta said seriously, a small man with big ideals, intermarriage between Celestials and Sea People was very frequent, the cutest height difference.
Gaia smiled, "Then I won't compete with you. Helena is definitely the best of our Celestials, second only to Princess Hermia. By the way, what's your first goal?"
"Of course it's to give my sister away." Kuta said as a matter of course, "Completing one of them would make this trip worthwhile."
"Li Hao, you're a pervert, you looked so excited just now, but now you don't say anything." Gaia said, "Aren't our Celestial beauties great? I'm telling you, not only do they look great on the outside, they're even better on the inside!"
"Would you believe me if I said I was purely appreciating art?" Li Hao said helplessly.
"Haha, do you think you're Gasmi?"
"They are beautiful, but my girlfriend is better looking, better than all of them!" Li Hao showed off a little. Under normal circumstances, with Kepler establishing contact with several major Celestial forces, exchanges would not be so difficult, and it would gradually get better in the future.
"Tch, you're just bragging. The Judgment Hymns may not be the strongest in combat power, but they are top-notch in aesthetics. Anyone who can come here has had their appearance, figure, and bloodline screened countless times. Alas, each one is an aid to revitalize my family." Gaia said excitedly, "Besides Helena, there's the Ninth Miss of the Dirac family, the eldest Miss of the Roxer family, rich, beautiful, and powerful..."
Gaia recited more than a dozen names and characteristics, ages, and weights.
For some reason, Li Hao thought of Teacher Ma, but he felt that Teacher Ma was more pure than Gaia. Teacher Ma was just talking, Gaia was really going to do it.
"We weren't discovered just now, were we?"
"Shouldn't be, the Gravitational Force Circle isn't that sensitive." Gaia said, "She just has better resources than us, and can take the lead on big missions at every turn. If I were a good friend of the princess, had an Imperial Armament, and had better resources, I would level up quickly too."
Under the seemingly fair Hymns system, there was also great unfairness hidden. Gaia was already enjoying benefits, but compared to the core circle, he was still far behind. Imperial Armaments were something many people dreamed of their entire lives, but for some, they were readily available.
"That's right, it's their blessing that we brothers are watching!" Kuta said smugly, anyway, not being caught made them the boss.
"Come on, brothers, let's achieve another common achievement, sharing time." Kuta waved his hand, and a pack of cigarettes appeared, "Come, try it. Li Hao, it's from your hometown again. The boss said it's very good, like what we drank yesterday, there's a saying, what is it?"
"Smoke and alcohol are inseparable?" Li Hao said with a smile, could this be an alternative way of survival for the solar system.
"Yes, yes, I'm telling you, it's very popular, how do you use this?" Kuta pinched it, soft, "What do the symbols on it mean?"
"Smoking is harmful to your health."
"Ah, it's poisonous?"
"Probably that's what it means." Li Hao took it, high-end goods, he had seen it, but never tried it. Teacher Ma often said that a cigarette after sex was better than being a god.
He took out one, pinched it with both hands, lit it with a small flame, took a deep breath, familiar taste, and then very skillfully sprayed out a circle, this was the realm.
"Let me try." Gaia also took one, took a big puff, and immediately choked to death, "What is this, a strange smell, it's really poisonous."
"I'll try." Kuta also took one, but the result was even worse than Gaia, his butt was smoking.
"Wow, what is this, it's poisonous, I'm not coming again!" Kuta quickly threw it away, the feeling of this cigarette was very bad, it was offensive.
······?
Click, whoosh~~Click whoosh~~~
Gasmi was silently smoking on the side, the two antennae on his head swaying in the wind, at this moment he actually had a bit of a master's feeling. Li Hao sprayed a puff of smoke, turning it into a smoke ring, Gasmi sprayed a puff of smoke, turning it into a string of interlocking rings, another puff, his already small eyes were almost squinted, the smoke turned into clouds, the clouds turned into mountains, and strange creatures, Li Hao, who was still a little bit showing off just now, silently took it back.
The insectoids were very talented in smoking...
"So interesting, I actually have a sense of happiness!" Gasmi looked at the half cigarette in his hand, "Humans are so amazing, how can there be such a wonderful thing."
Gaia also slowly found a little feeling, "No wonder you humans developed for so long before joining the Star Alliance, this time was wasted on enjoyment."
Li Hao shrugged helplessly, "I'm actually speechless."
"This thing doesn't have a market in the Sea Race, alcohol is okay, my sister has already contacted the family, it's really popular now, but the awareness of high-end alcohol is not yet clear, the family is also very interested, let's take action before others react!" Kuta said, "I've already contacted Romero of Kepler."
"So fast?" Li Hao was stunned, this was too efficient.
Kuta stared with big eyes, looking at Li Hao strangely, "The business world is like a battlefield, do you really think I'm a spendthrift?" Everyone laughed.
After having fun, everyone walked back, but all the way, there was a different taste in their steps, especially Gasmi, who was still a little bit unfinished.
