A giant Zeus force fireball, seven or eight meters in diameter, fell from the sky and smashed towards Kuta. Kuta took off, his short legs carrying him away in an instant.

Odin Force – Space Displacement.

Escaping the fireball’s attack range, Kuta appeared more than ten meters away. But Li Hao pointed his finger, and the fireball drew a drifting arc, crashing towards Kuta. In that split second, Kuta shouted with all his might, “Stop~~~~”

Li Hao waved again, and the fireball almost grazed Kuta’s Zeus force shield, flying to the side with a deafening boom.

Flames filled the sky. Kuta ran away without even looking back, but his legs were short after all, and he was directly blown away by the fire wave. Gaia and Galsmi were in no better condition. Although they resisted, they were still thrown away by the terrifying Zeus force. Only Li Hao stood firm in the world of flames.

When the flames dissipated, the three of them stared wide-eyed, gasping for breath. They were survivors. At this moment, they clearly realized that the person in front of them was not just a little bit stronger, but a whole lot. Kuta completely felt that he had just kissed death. If he hadn't been smart enough, he would have been gone.

Li Hao didn’t act immediately, looking at Kuta. “Want to rest for a while before continuing?”

Hearing this, the three of them shuddered. Was he trying to get rid of them in the name of sparring?

Kuta widened his adorable eyes. “What rest? It’s over. Brother Li, big brother, I was wrong. I’ll never duel again. From now on, you’re my own big brother. You almost killed me just now. We’re on the same side!”

“Ah, really? You have an Imperial Artifact protecting you. I calculated that you could defend against that just now?” Li Hao was stunned, a little resentful. “It shouldn’t be a problem, right? Want to try again?”

Li Hao’s moves were all his own understanding. He really wanted to spar with an Odin Force expert. It seemed that humans also had room to develop in Odin Force, but it hadn't been subdivided yet. During the S competition, some of everyone’s battle skills already had Odin Force additions.

“No, no, no, we’re not on the same level. There’s no need to spar anymore,” Kuta said. He wasn’t stupid. Imperial Artifacts did have stronger protection, but it still hurt. His little body couldn’t take that kind of punishment. “Brother Li, what exactly are you? How do you even know high-level Fire Odin?”

The disheveled Gaia and Galsmi also came over.

“What high-level Fire Odin? I just learned it at the Tribunal, a big fireball, condensing Zeus force into a flame and releasing it.”

“Haha, Brother Li, we’re good friends, brothers. How can you treat us like idiots? I’m at least a genius… well, at least I know Odin Force. The power and technique contained in your attack just now, although I don’t quite understand it, I’ve seen it at my sister’s place…” Kuta looked at Li Hao resentfully, envious. Was he a Heavenly Warrior or an Odin Force user? How could he know everything, and be so powerful at everything?

“Brother Li, that move of yours is very similar to the Tribunal’s high-level Fire Odin, Earth Burst Heavenly Star,” Gaia said faintly.

“Which is more powerful, the Sea Race’s Odin Force or the Heavenly Race’s Odin Force?” Li Hao asked curiously.

“Odin Force originated from the Sea Race, but the Sea Race doesn’t distinguish attributes. Soul fluctuations are a characteristic of the Heavenly Race. Later, after the Heavenly Race’s modification, it was divided into three Odin Force forms: Lightning, Fire, and Ice. We Sea Race people also have to come and learn,” Kuta said.

“It’s mutual learning. There’s no secret now. It just depends on each person’s understanding and talent,” Gaia said. His attacks also included some attribute attacks, but nothing like Li Hao’s was unheard of… well, not really. The elders of his family said that during the age of the Galaxy War, there were indeed such terrifying talents.

“Where can I learn something more powerful?”

The three of them looked at each other, a Heavenly Race person, a Sea Race person, and a Bug Race person, looking at a human. It was tough.

“Heavenly Warriors need to be tempered through countless battles. Odin Force needs talent and imagination. Our Sea Race’s understanding of Odin Force is that everything is possible, shaping all things, and all methods return to the source. Form is just a need,” Kuta explained. This was definitely the orthodox doctrine of Odin Force.

Li Hao nodded in agreement. He wasn’t too attached to form. It was just that his own understanding would help others understand.

The three of them were really stunned by Li Hao, especially Gaia. He even suspected that the person in front of him was a human, or a descendant of the Heavenly Race from the Galaxy Era.

“Kuta, haven’t you determined your attribute yet?” Li Hao asked curiously. Kuta’s battle used pure Zeus force, without any combat attributes attached.

“There’s no need to rush to determine that. I want to develop composite abilities. After all, I have the Grace of Time… well, never mind. I have the Grace of Time, so I can be compatible with multiple powers. That’s why Olivia told me to take a year to settle down first.”

At Hellavis, Kuta was taught the foundation and versatility of Odin Force, so his Odin Force forms were very spiritual, and his basic skills were solid. Regarding the understanding of attributes, although the Tribunal was mainly Fire-based, it also had other forms. Kuta was trying them all, but he would still focus on Fire. This was also the tradition of the Golden Flash family.

…

They weren’t fighting anymore. Kuta instantly became Li Hao’s little fanboy. He felt that his good fortune as the son of destiny, the future big boss of the Golden Flash family, had arrived. Heaven had sent him Brother Li. He wanted to learn something different from Brother Li, and then make Olivia envious to death. If he could become his brother-in-law, that would be great. Then he would have someone to protect him in the future.

“Brother Li, can you teach me? I’m so miserable. I’ve been called a genius since I was a child, but who knows the pressure I’m under? The huge pressure has caused me to develop slowly, and my talent can’t be fully tapped. I think it was destiny that allowed us to meet again, separated by thousands of light years and countless stars. The light of God shines on us. Can you bear to stand by and watch me die?” Kuta clearly knew his chance to rise. Li Hao must have mastered some secret to Odin Force success. He definitely wouldn’t believe it if he said he knew it back in the Solar System.

The chance to step on Olivia was right in front of him.

Gaia licked his lips dryly. He was inhumane, stealing all his lines.

“Okay, I just have some superficial understanding. If you want to learn, we can exchange ideas.” Li Hao really didn’t take it seriously. He would teach if they wanted to learn, but whether they could learn it was another matter.

“Ahem, Brother Li, can you impart some Heavenly Race combat skills, oh, no, human combat skills. I think yours are more powerful!” Gaia had none of the arrogance of the Heavenly Race. Whoever was stronger was the boss.

“Gaia, your strength is still relatively powerful. Should we try it too? I’m very interested in Heavenly Warrior combat skills. The classes are all basic. As a descendant of the Rastaya family, you must have some special skills, right?” Li Hao said with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Gaia was stunned. “Me? No way, my few tricks…”

Kuta’s big eyes rolled around. “Damn, Gaia, you’re not being a good friend. What’s the point of hiding anything from us? What are you afraid of? Oh, are you afraid of Howsen?”

Gaia shrugged helplessly. “There’s a little bit, but not much.”

“Come, let me experience the swordsmanship of the Ozir Empire!” Li Hao was interested. He was tired of the basic theories. Those novices couldn’t form the desire to fight at all. He was past the stage of showing off by bullying weaklings. But Gaia was different.

When the four of them were dodging Helena’s pursuit, Gaia’s movements were the fastest. He knew then that Gaia had some skill, but Li Hao’s judgment was always inaccurate. It was like this on Earth, and he didn’t expect it to be the same when he came to the Tribunal Anthem.

“Brother Li, I have to use Heavenly Warrior armor to really enjoy myself.” The Heavenly Race’s physical body was a little better than the Sea Race’s, but not as durable as the Bug Race’s. Without using Heavenly Warrior armor, he might be knocked out after a few rounds.

“Either don’t fight, or fight to the fullest. Go all out. I’ve wanted to see it for a long time. Don’t worry about me. Galsmi isn’t as durable as me,” Li Hao said with a smile.

If it was in the past, with only the primary Overlord Body, he might be a little better than a Heavenly Race person. His body definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand a prolonged battle. But with the Golden Cells, this consumption was nothing at all.

Gaia didn’t stand on ceremony, and the suppressed aura began to be released. He took out his Heavenly Warrior armor. Although it wasn’t an Imperial Artifact, it was still a masterpiece of the Ozir Empire.

Conqueror

Origin: Ozir Empire Heavenly Warrior Armor (Fire Attribute) Offensive Type, Greatsword Form

Zeus Force Scanning Conversion System, Fire Crystal Core, Particle Shield, Shoulder-Mounted Particle Cannon. Li Hao took out his precious Heavenly Warrior box from the Star Xun and took out his longsword, but didn’t cover himself in armor. This level was enough.

Li Hao had always cherished his first set of Heavenly Warrior armor, and he was especially careful not to get it dirty.

Knowing Li Hao’s strength, Gaia swung his greatsword, and with a hum, Heavenly Warrior armor spread out. Red liquid extended from his right arm and spread to his whole body. At the last moment, a helmet formed, covering his armor. A pair of ruby-like eyes flashed with light.

Boom…

Zeus flame rose, obviously stronger than Galsmi and Kuta. Kuta understood this level better. Gaia was a sly old fox. His Zeus force level was quite good. It felt like he was about to open his Heavenly Eye.

The road to promotion was really difficult. It wasn’t enough to just have strength. He always had to accept suitable high-reward missions. The road of conquest was one way, but the water was too deep, and it was difficult without absolute strength.

Looking at the greatsword in his hand, Gaia’s eyes gradually became sharp. The Rastaya family was a famous sword warrior family.

The blood-red greatsword rose, and his fighting spirit burned. After completely letting go, Gaia had no more scruples. He raised the greatsword high above his head, merging man and sword. Rolling red flames enveloped the Heavenly Warrior armor, and scorching heat filled the entire boundary stone space.

Gaia’s Zeus force carried a strong burning sensation. This was also an ability that would continuously burn his opponent’s soul. At this moment, Gaia finally had the fierce power of his Rastaya ancestors.

Li Hao also showed some interest. He shook his longsword, and a golden light covered it, pointing at Gaia.

Boom… tap tap tap tap tap…

Gaia instantly rushed forward, striding towards Li Hao with a very rhythmic pace. He didn’t know where Li Hao’s strength lay. He had never encountered someone whose soul force depth and characteristics he couldn’t sense in a fight. But once he entered combat mode, these distracting thoughts instantly disappeared.

Clang…

A high-speed low-altitude jump slash. The greatsword suddenly accelerated and slashed down. Clang!

The two longswords collided, creating a roar and exploding flames. Li Hao clearly felt some weight. Clang clang clang clang clang…

The flaming greatsword was used very skillfully in Gaia’s hands. The strength and rhythm were quite good. This was definitely the result of long-term training. Amidst the wide, open strikes, there were also details. He had definitely worked hard. But that little bit of soul burning didn’t count for much.

Boom~~~

Zeus Force Lightning!

Gaia’s left hand made a gesture, and a bolt of lightning struck. Li Hao was startled. He was relieved when he saw that his Heavenly Warrior armor was fine. It was an unprovoked attack, and Gaia went straight in, the greatsword covering Li Hao, forcing Li Hao to only defend passively. The powerful sword moves were continuous, not giving Li Hao a chance to break free. There were details in this. His sense of battle was a level higher than Kuta and Galsmi. He knew to control the rhythm of the battle, putting his opponent in his own rhythm, waiting for his opponent to show a flaw, instead of blindly attacking like a novice.

The moves were quite methodical. Boom!

From time to time, a Zeus Force Lightning could catch Li Hao off guard. The attack made his body numb. Li Hao was still savoring it when, in a moment of distraction, Gaia disappeared. Gaia, who had appeared on the side, kicked out. With a muffled sound, Li Hao was kicked away. At that moment, Gaia touched the ground with the tip of his sword, Zeus Flame mixed with thunder roaring.

Thunder-Fire Dual Cultivation – Rastaya Heavenly Fire Thunder Slash!

Almost instantly, he arrived above Li Hao. The patterns on the fiery red Heavenly Warrior greatsword were completely activated, and lightning wrapped around the sword body, forming a thunder-flame a meter wide.

Li Hao quickly retracted his sword, stretched out his hand, and a golden Zeus Force shield appeared. Boom…

The power hit directly. Li Hao tasted the flavor of it and flew out. At this time, Gaia followed closely, taking a step, but disappearing in an instant. Heavenly Race Space Combat Skill – Space Compression. The moment he appeared, the greatsword was already in front of him.

Buzz~~~

Li Hao’s left hand pinched the tip of the greatsword. Gaia’s eyes almost popped out. He knew very well how strong he was. Two fingers catching a blade???

What the hell was this!?

Li Hao slashed back with his sword, and a huge force struck. Gaia flipped more than ten meters away and stood firm. Gaia knew that his opponent was using skill. Only high-level Heavenly Race warriors could understand these details. For a moment, Gaia was a little dazed. Were humans this powerful?

“Gaia, defend with all your strength and take this sword of mine,” Li Hao said with a smile.

Gaia, who was about to continue attacking, was stunned. What did he mean? He was going to continue attacking.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted violently, and all the muscles in his body contracted. What the hell was this power? His hands were starting to shake…

The antennae on Galsmi’s head were knotted. It was a dangerous aura, a Bug Race talent: danger. And this was a threat deliberately released by a powerful creature, at least two levels higher to be able to do this.

Gaia immediately put up his Zeus Force shield. Kuta and Galsmi quickly moved away from the battlefield. Even if they were stupid, they could feel the danger.

Li Hao’s sword slowly pulled back. It was a very slow process, and he didn’t need to be too fast. He just wanted Gaia to see clearly. And watching this scene, Gaia felt as if his soul was being dragged out of his body as the sword swung back. It was painful, tearing, oppressive, like an invisible hand was about to crush him.

With a muffled roar, Gaia gritted his teeth and the Zeus Flames on his body burned fiercely, rising to an incredible level. His forehead lit up, and he was forced by Li Hao to open his Heavenly Eye. He held the greatsword tightly with both hands, staring at Li Hao.

– Sword Draw

Buzz~~~

A sword was unleashed, and a golden light source exploded at one point, instantly turning from a point into a surface. Just for an instant, an sonic boom was heard, buzz~~~~~

Gaia roared, and the greatsword in his hand frantically stabbed into the ground, his hair flying. “For the glory of Rastaya – Steadfast Elegance!”

In the next moment, even his elegance was gone. He flew away, man and sword together. The golden energy storm made the entire space shake, and cracks appeared in the space.

Boom…

The boundary stone shattered, and the four of them fell out of the boundary stone space. The remaining power still leaked out. Gaia was stuck on the ceiling, and Kuta and Galsmi were rolling under the table. The walls cracked, and the special glass shattered into powder.

???

Li Hao stared blankly at everything. Holy crap, could boundary stones shatter? Wasn’t the quality supposed to be very good?
