Chapter 613 The True Intentions of the Arbitration

Helena flicked the Emperor Weapon, Order Prisoner, and a red light flashed in her eyes. A surge of Zhou-force instantly coursed through her body, merging into the Order Prisoner. In an instant, a black liquid spread across Helena's body, a black Tianren (Heavenly Human) armor enveloping her completely. Simultaneously, the Zhou-force seamlessly integrated into the entire Emperor Weapon. Beyond the Emperor Weapon's special abilities, its combat elements like attack, defense, and speed instantly elevated to another level. Compared to Kuta's, the soul fluctuations and aura were quite different, but it was clear they belonged to the same lineage.

Li Hao wasn't in a hurry. He was very interested in the Emperor Weapon, and in the Tianren's claim that the Emperor Weapon originated from Tianren armor. He harbored great doubt about this, as they seemed to be things from entirely different levels. They looked similar, but he felt that Tianren armor was actually imitating Emperor Weapons. Tianwu (Heavenly Martial) seemed to fall within the scope of technology, while the aura emanating from Emperor Weapons didn't seem to align with the Tianren's tech tree.

He figured that with more contact, he would find some clues.

Helena watched Li Hao's eyes light up, knowing that he envied her Emperor Weapon. There was nothing she could do; in the Tianren world, those who possessed Emperor Weapons were chosen ones. That was why she said Li Hao was ignorant about power. Just having some soul strength and knowing some special tricks didn't make one a master.

She said in a deep voice, "I'll allow you to choose a piece of Tianren armor!"

Li Hao smiled and waved his hand. "I don't need it to beat you."

Helena's pupils contracted. Seeking death!

Boom...

Red Zhou-flames soared into the sky, and an endless stream of Zhou-force poured out of Helena's body. The Zhou-force merged perfectly with the Emperor Weapon. The Tianyan (Heavenly Eye) opened, and her aura was completely different from before. Yet, under the Tianyan, Li Hao still showed no openings. Combined with the Emperor Weapon's soul insight, he had no obvious flaws?

Then, she would have to force out his weaknesses!

Her body suddenly disappeared, instantly reaching Li Hao. A punch landed squarely on Li Hao, and overwhelming Zhou-force poured into his body. Li Hao flew up in response. While he was still in the air, Helena had already arrived, showing how extremely angry she was. She directly hammered Li Hao back to the ground with an elbow strike.

Boom...

Li Hao crashed directly into the ground. Helena pursued him with lightning speed, but Li Hao's figure suddenly vanished. The next moment, Helena kicked backward fiercely. Li Hao grabbed her leg directly, and threw a punch in return. Helena had no fear and met it head-on.

Boom...

With a loud bang, Helena flew out. Her body shook violently in mid-air, and with a flick of her hands, black chains shot towards Li Hao.

This time, Li Hao didn't dodge. He used the same magical technique again, managing to grab the chains from the void even at high speed. Golden Zhou-force enveloped his body, and a powerful force surged. Helena was pulled back directly. When the distance between them was less than ten meters, Helena waved her hands, and dozens of black chains enveloped Li Hao.

Li Hao's figure swayed, instantly breaking free from the encirclement. But the black chains chased after him as if they were alive, and the sudden burst of speed was even faster than Li Hao's.

Clang clang clang clang...

In an instant, Li Hao was bound tightly. The earlier acceleration clearly exceeded Helena's inherent speed. It seemed that the functions of this Emperor Weapon were indeed a bit different.

Helena looked at Li Hao calmly. "Will you admit defeat now?"

Li Hao smiled and began to exert his strength. Golden light began to bloom. Clearly, the Emperor Weapon was encountering strong resistance. Helena was shocked to find that the Emperor Weapon was about to be broken free again. Her Zhou-force was no match for Li Hao's?

With a soft groan, purple light blazed in her eyes, and her violent Zhou-force surged like a tornado. Zhou-force Second Realm – Zhou Lan (Zhou Storm)!

At this moment, Helena's power was overwhelming…???

She didn't know when the chains had been broken again. Helena's burst was wasted. Li Hao didn't know if Helena hadn't mastered the power of the Emperor Weapon, or if she was deliberately holding back. But he didn't want to be tied up like this all the time. If the other side didn't play their cards, he couldn't really use lethal moves against Helena on Arbitration's turf. He didn't have the strength to openly challenge them, nor was it necessary.

He looked at the two with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "You don't have any killing intent. It's hard to put on an act for so long. What exactly do you two want to know?"

Helena stomped her foot and glared at Florienzo. "It's all your fault. Your acting is terrible!"

Florienzo was helpless. After all, he had watched her grow up. He had to take the blame.

"Li Hao, don't blame us for being cautious. It's mainly because your situation is unheard of. We don't know if the forces behind you are friends or foes." Florienzo still had a good impression of Li Hao, but he couldn't use his feelings as a basis for judgment. Helena looked at Li Hao. At first, she didn't take him seriously, thinking it was just a small mistake that could be quietly corrected. But when he entered the Heavenly Ladder, her perspective changed. A warrior from a new civilization was basically unable to advance. The entire civilization needed to devote a generation or even more time to contributing before they could gradually change. Yet he had done it easily. An investigation of his movements showed no record of him leaving Di Wu Xing (Emperor Martial Star) to carry out missions. What was even more bizarre was that before she could report to the Grand Priest, the Grand Priest had contacted her first.

At this moment, a voice rang in everyone's ears, "Helena, this friend has passed."

Florienzo smiled. "Young friend, this is our High Priestess, Shila Da, who is also the general guarding Di Wu Xing. From now on, you are a friend of Arbitration's Sacred Hymn."

The voice came suddenly and left quickly, with no intention of engaging in deeper conversation with Li Hao.

"Li Hao, sorry about that. Blame the Grand Priest if you have to. It was all her arrangement." Helena blinked and smiled. "Next time you want to see us dance, just come directly. No need to sneak around. Do I have the best figure?"

It was Old Li's turn to blush. This girl's reversal was too ruthless and difficult to deal with. He had also misjudged. He really thought that she was a delicate flower in a greenhouse, and that she could be won over simply by trying to win her over. Of course, he also wanted to meet General Shila Da, but it was a pity that she had no intention of meeting him.

"Commissioner Helena, you're really confusing me. One moment you want to fight and kill, the next..."

"Haha, little brother, it's the year of Her Highness the Princess's succession. It involves internal issues within our Tianren. You suddenly popped up and went up the Heavenly Ladder. We couldn't be careless." Florienzo said.

"So that's all it takes?" Li Hao asked curiously. This was too rough. He did have quite a few secrets. It was normal for them to be suspicious, but if it were him, he would probably study it carefully.

"If the Grand Priest says you're okay, then you're okay. From now on, you're one of Arbitration's people. As long as you don't violate the laws of the Sacred Hymn, Arbitration will back you up." Florienzo patted Li Hao's shoulder. "Our agreement is still valid. You can come to me anytime if you're interested in my Tianwu research. It's not impossible to introduce Tianwu to humans in the future."

Looking at the smiling Florienzo and Helena, Li Hao was a little confused. It shouldn't be because he had some skills that they were being so nice to him. With the background of the Ozier Empire and Arbitration, what kind of talent hadn't they seen?

The horror was that there would be a follow-up, especially the High Priestess Shila Da. It was still unknown what this mysterious High Priestess wanted from him, but from the current perspective, it was a relatively good start. If he could get the support of Ozier, the situation in the Solar System would open up.

Li Hao had always been open-minded in this regard.

Li Hao and Helena sat face to face, drinking coffee from the Solar System. Li Hao sized up Helena's attire. "So urgent?"

Helena smiled sexily. It was obvious that she was very interested in Li Hao. "I was originally watching an opera with Hermia. But here you are, saying you're coming, so I have to rush over. By the way, do you like watching us dance?"

Li Hao was speechless. This girl wasn't a good person. She was teasing him while seizing the rhythm of the conversation. But after all, he was in the wrong in this matter. "It was very beautiful. Next time, I'll definitely go through the front door."

"You want to see Hermia, don't you?"

Li Hao smiled bitterly. "That's really not the case. Compared to the princess, I'm more interested in Tianwu."

"I know. The Solar System has just joined the Star River Alliance. Last year, you fully understood your needs. Now you must have a lot of desires, but after contacting the Star Alliance, you've found that it's not as good as you imagined, with all kinds of restrictions and constraints, many of which are aimed at Third Class civilizations. How about we make a deal?" Helena said, her expression relaxed, not minding showing off her beauty in front of Li Hao. It was hard to say what it meant, but her attitude of teasing and curiosity was obvious.

Li Hao looked directly at Helena. Her figure and appearance were even better than An Lita's back then. Coupled with the identity of an Arbitration Commissioner, it was indeed very tempting. Of course, he knew that she wasn't really seducing him.

"Why don't you tell me about it?" Li Hao said noncommittally. He wanted to make a deal, but he also had to see what the conditions were.

"You help me find a public occasion to defeat Hausen, and I'll have Arbitration's Sacred Hymn open up a few more places for humans. How about helping you train talent?" Helena took a sip of coffee. She liked it very much. Many things from humans seemed to have opened up some kind of need in the Tianren gene. She fell in love with it almost as soon as she came into contact with it.

Li Hao stared straight at Helena, his eyes showing a strange expression. Helena also looked at Li Hao, not showing any weakness. Li Hao smiled. "Commissioner Helena, are you taking me for a fool? Hausen, a level 70 sergeant major, the leader of Arbitration's Sacred Hymn, a descendant of the Yi Mogu family, rumored to be the future spouse of Her Highness the Princess. Defeat him in public?"

A strange look flashed in Helena's eyes. "Are you afraid?"

Li Hao wasn't in a hurry. He took a sip of coffee. Although he was an Earthling, he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad. He felt that Kuta would soon surpass him in researching the taste of Earth's delicacies.

"It has nothing to do with fear. I'm a level 40 sergeant major, just starting out, and I'm going to challenge Hausen. If I lose, I'll lose everything. If I win, I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable. Hausen and his forces will definitely continue to cause me trouble. And your condition is just to open up a few places. Aren't you taking me for a fool? I'm the kind of person whose courage is proportional to the benefits."

Helena smiled and didn't mind. "What do you want?"
