There were also those who got exactly what they asked for. For example, the Indira team, who called themselves "Little Galaxy" all day long and claimed to be invincible, drew the real Galaxy team. Captain Keelan almost fainted when he saw the draw. The ambitious Indian even dreamed of making it to the top four, but they encountered the ultimate Boss in the first step of their monster-slaying upgrade. Not bad… it's time to show the true strength of Little Galaxy.

The Udyr team, old friends of Tianjing Mech Academy, didn't have good luck. They ran into the Wolf Fury team, who were third on Mars, and looked to be in dire straits.

Robbie's Cougars, Ophie's Knights of the Round Table, and Yan Peng's Black Rock team were all in good shape. They were all mid-tier teams from other federations. As long as they performed normally, advancing wouldn't be a problem. As for the powerful North Carolina Rosais, they didn't need to consider their opponents at all.

The Tianjing team was ready to go.

All the students of Tianjing Mech Academy came to see them off. This scale was even grander than the Mid-Season Tournament. However, unlike the Mid-Season Tournament, the members of Tianjing Mech Academy were much more composed. This time, they were going to Galaxy City to ascend the stage of every mech warrior's dreams and seize their own glory.

The Galaxy Center specially arranged exclusive living areas for the contestants from the four major federations. The investment this time was also unprecedented, and the facilities provided were naturally top-notch, taking into account the contestants' health and daily training time. Two days before the qualifiers began, all the teams from the four major federations arrived.

Excited as they were, Ma Long and the others were no longer the country bumpkins who hadn't seen the world. The biggest help from the Mid-Season Tournament and the Hailong Exchange Tournament was to allow everyone to see and become familiar with the top experts, breaking through that insurmountable barrier. They had fought and been beaten, and once they were truly familiar with them, they knew that the other party was human, not a god.

Everyone who arrived at the residence settled in and didn't run around, conserving their energy and waiting for the start of the qualifiers. This match was a must-win for every team that arrived. No one wanted to go home at the very beginning.

There were a total of 32 qualifying matches, with four venues, each with eight matches, completed in two days. The schedule was still quite tight. Tickets for the qualifying matches were also completely sold out, and nearly a million spectators would watch the qualifying matches at that time, with thousands of media outlets around the world broadcasting live.

Zhou Naiyi had already gone to bed early, needing no distractions. Everything that needed to be prepared was prepared. Sufficient sleep was needed to meet the challenge in the best condition. Ma Long had just finished a video call with Sheng Man. The staff members didn't live in the same area as the contestants. Teacher Ma restrained his excited mood. He was really nervous, but he had already come, so he would just do it.

Tan Ziyuan, Sheng Man, and Lu Lingxiao were ecstatic, chattering non-stop. They were definitely going to stay up all night.

"Lingxiao, how are things going with Zuo Xiaotang?" Sheng Man asked gossipingly. "Ah, what, nothing at all!" Lu Lingxiao's face turned red.

"You have to take the initiative. If you expect Zuo Xiaotang to take the initiative, nothing will happen," Sheng Man laughed. "Do you want your sister to teach you a few tricks?" "No, no," Lu Lingxiao waved her hand quickly. "Maybe, he doesn't like my type."

During this period, Lu Lingxiao was very proactive in helping, but Zuo Xiaotang didn't seem to like her. Girls are very sensitive in this regard.

"How is that possible!" Sheng Man resolutely didn't believe it. According to her Teacher Ma, any girl who took the initiative with Zuo Xiaotang would definitely be able to win him over. Zuo Xiaotang just didn't believe that any girl would like him.

"Sisters, sometimes when you meet excellent boys, don't be too reserved. Those who are proactive and flirtatious are all scumbags. Those who are excellent and shy are treasures!" Sheng Man laughed, applying moisturizer to her beautiful legs while talking. Her fair fingers gently circled her slender thighs. Teacher Ma loved her body, every inch was white and delicate. In addition to her natural endowment, daily meticulous care was also essential.

"Then what does Teacher Ma say?"

"We call this a meeting of equals, where love and desire are one. This is the most beautiful love I want. You two always give your all at the drop of a hat. Learn to be a little more savvy," Sheng Man said, stroking her delicate jade feet. The crystal-clear colorless nail polish made her feet even more lovely and tender. Her little toes moved nimbly, and every detail had to be carefully cared for.

Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao exchanged glances and directly pounced on Sheng Man. "You little hussy, accept your punishment, itchy hell…"

Musashi was meditating in his room, his whole being integrated into the space, very calm. For him, the S-match was an important practice, a spiritual and technical training. He would enjoy the process and take every opponent seriously. Ancient martial arts don't seek results, but focus on the journey of cultivating the mind.

Cheng Konghai… was already fast asleep, his stomach full. He ate and drank his fill, and nurtured his spirit. He wondered if his opponent the day after tomorrow would be able to withstand a beating.

Zuo Xiaotang had music playing in his room and was watching a short video, a cheer video recorded for him by the children of the orphanage. Er Ya and Dan Dan led a group of little rascals to form the Ya Dan cheerleading squad.

"Commander Zuo, I really don't know how you got in. I feel like I could go on stage. Remember not to embarrass your sister," Er Ya said, wiping her nose.

"If anyone bullies you, remember to report my name. I'm your protector…" Dan Dan waved his little fist with a flame pentagram sticker. "Commander Zuo, bring something delicious, lots and lots…" "I want something fun, something fun, lollipops too…"

The chattering group of little rascals buzzed around, and somehow the topic went astray. They all became wishers, and it felt like Zuo Xiaotang would have to sell himself to make it happen.

Li Hao hummed a triumphant tune, able to be off-key in all five notes was also a skill. As for the competition, he really didn't feel much. Compared to the Apocalypse, this was really just a competition, but it was still fun to spar with "old friends." There were no more of those annoying things from back then, and maybe he could even secretly date A Youyou. Just thinking about it made him happy.

Life is just so ordinary. Ding-dong…

Li Hao's singing was ruthlessly interrupted. In an instant, Li Hao seemed like a different person. He opened the Tianxun.

Bleen Mission 138: Within thirty days, kill the Kepler Ontario Giant Insect Lord Kaz, protect Base 5, and destroy the Giant Insect's plan to invade the solar system.

Li Hao frowned slightly, glanced at his chest, and there was no energy reaction at all. All along, he had been hiding his strength, and he believed that he had mastered the method of shielding the quantum coordinates on his chest. Moreover, judging from the previous mission situation, Bleen had misjudged, but this mission directly overturned the previous judgment.

The other party knew his strength, in a way that he still couldn't grasp…

The room was completely shrouded in darkness. Li Hao closed his eyes. Had he revealed any flaws? Every time he went to Kepler, he had shielded himself in advance. Based on this mission, the other party shouldn't be able to sense it, and quantum coordinates shouldn't be able to transmit so much information. How did they know?

What kind of person, or organization, could monitor him to this extent? This was a bit too much.

Li Hao searched his mind for possible flaws like a slideshow, but found nothing. He was quite careful when using his abilities.

Or was Bleen's information from the future?

The amount of information in this mission was very large. The target was in the Ontario region, which was Human Base 5, the weakest of the five human bases, and it was indeed easy to become a breakthrough.

Lord… he had never seen one. Humans and Giant Insects had been fighting for so long, but there was no relevant information. Of course, it was also possible that he didn't know. The highest level currently was the Brain Insect and the Insect King. He believed that the lord Bleen was referring to shouldn't be a simple Brain Insect or Insect King. Bleen was precise in transmitting information, which meant the highest leader of the Giant Insects in the entire Ontario region, and… it even had a name.

Kaz…

The Giant Insects in the Ontario region had launched an attack last time, attacking the tour group. This time, it should be a larger-scale attack. According to Bleen, the Giant Insects' method of going to the solar system had a certain relationship with Base 5.

The reason humans are currently able to maintain safety is because they are fighting outside the solar system. Once the Giant Insects invade the solar system, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, there were still debatable points hidden in this information. Since humans discovered wormholes for jumping, humans have discovered that Kepler "actively" provided the coordinates. In the process of interstellar navigation, this kind of "luck" required sufficient vigilance. This was also the reason why humans didn't dare to be too rash, and they even suspected that the Giant Insects were deliberately luring humans over.

Suppose

That's the case, then the Giant Insects should have the coordinates of the solar system, or rather, they need some factor of human civilization to reach the solar system? They can't come over on their own?

Is there something hidden in the base that can help them go to the solar system?

Bleen didn't provide any effective information on the key links, which was also what gave Li Hao a headache. If Bleen was a human from the future, then why was he only targeting him? Wouldn't it be better to send it to the Alliance?

Thinking on the bright side, it meant that only he met certain specific future conditions.

He just wanted to live a quiet life, why was it so difficult?

Damn it, a lord has appeared. It's already as difficult as climbing to the sky, and to top it off, they don't give me a salary. That's very annoying!

At night, the Galaxy Center was brightly lit. From now on, this would be a city that never sleeps. The entire human race's carnival around the Mech Warrior S-Match had begun. Passionate audiences sang and danced, and young people even regarded it as a grand festival.

Li Hao lay motionless on the bed. At this time, near Kepler Base 5, a lurker emerged from the ground, cautiously sensing the surroundings. Taking advantage of the night, it carefully bypassed the base's security line. When it reached the foot of the wall, the lurker suddenly lay motionless on the wall.

And a Giant Insect imprisoned in the base suddenly opened its eyes…
