Chapter 187 First Stop

Lu Donglei looked with great interest at the other team in the first row, looking quite at a loss – Tianjing Mech Wu.

How to put it? Tianjing Mech Wu couldn't be called nobodies. After all, they had produced a Wu Fa. But Wu Fa was only outstanding in individual competitions and couldn't carry the whole team. Tianjing had been living off that honor for many years. This year, they had a complete reform, but it didn't seem promising.

Wu Zang was inferior to Wu Fa, and the others were not worth mentioning. Even though Lu Donglei was mentally prepared, he wondered if his expectations were a bit too unrealistic.

Finally, he looked at Li Hao, who also looked at Lu Donglei and smiled.

A bit fake, he thought, reminding him of a waiter in a restaurant. Could the teacher be mistaken?

"The remaining teams will be divided into three groups. You will be heading to the first destination of our mid-season training camp. See you when we land!" Lu Donglei said with a smile. The ground lit up, and everyone was divided into three sections.

Ma Long and the others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like they had just fought a major battle and could be ganged up on at any moment. Although they had sparring sessions with Ofie and the others, being here was a completely different experience. They felt like mere pawns.

The team members automatically divided into three areas. Soldiers recited the names of the teams and started to enter their personal information. Everyone would be graded in the subsequent tests.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least things were a bit normal now.

Tianjing was assigned to the strongest first tier, along with the other fifteen top teams. Unlike the lively discussions in the other two areas, the first tier was very quiet.

Ye Tong winked at Li Hao and the others. However, even the playful Ye Tong had become more disciplined after training in North Carolina. This was the mid-season competition, not a stage for anyone to fool around.

Pompella whispered a few words to Curtis, who nodded. Pompella walked towards Tianjing.

"You, go to the back." Pompella walked to Tianjing's side and pointed at Li Hao and the others, "Do you even deserve to stand in this position?"

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit heavy. Even the members queuing in the other two areas looked over. Although Tianjing Mech Wu had narrowly escaped one disaster, their days would only be harder there.

"If you wanted this position, why didn't you come earlier? Isn't it a bit late now?" Zhou Naiyi said firmly.

Pompella didn't expect Tianjing Mech Wu to dare to talk back at this time, and couldn't help but laugh, "Zhou Naiyi, while I'm still talking to you nicely, take them and get out of here immediately. Don't cause trouble. Don't think you can act like a tiger with borrowed power just because you have some relationship with Ofie and Robbie. The mid-season competition is about strength."

"Pfft."

Robbie couldn't hold it in and laughed, "Oh, sorry, please continue. This really has nothing to do with us."

Ofie also couldn't help but smile. Yan Peng, Depuya, and others all laughed, making Pompella feel inexplicable. He glanced at North Carolina, and Chao Qinglong seemed to be standing at the front of the team, not caring about what was happening behind him at all.

Pompella felt confident. With his boss and Chao Qinglong there, it wasn't up to the likes of Ofie and Robbie to act cool. This time, the North Carolina Alliance was here to completely establish its dominance, and he wouldn't let Ofie and Robbie run wild.

The members of the fifteen teams had strange expressions on their faces. Some were curious, and some were expectant.

"Are you going to move or not? Last warning!" Pompella didn't want to waste any more time with these Tianjing scums.

"Fight if you want to fight, who's afraid of who? I'll duel you!" Huo Ying couldn't hold back his anger. This was basically shitting on his head; he couldn't tolerate it.

Pompella laughed, "You're not worthy!"

Curtis frowned. He didn't expect Tianjing Mech Wu to be so ungrateful. He walked over with his team members. He didn't plan to make a move at this time, it was too degrading. "Li Hao, take your people to the back. Have some self-awareness. If you want to go home now, I can send you on your way."

"Curtis, don't speak too soon," Wu Zang said in a deep voice.

The others stepped aside. Tianjing Mech Wu and the Dome were already at daggers drawn. When the surrounding soldiers saw this, no one intervened. Curtis knew that private eliminations were allowed.

"Alright, alright, the test hasn't even started yet, why are you in such a hurry? Training is about the process, the S-competition is our goal." Li Hao said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.

But as soon as he spoke, he directly enraged Pompella, who rushed up and pointed at Li Hao's nose, "What the hell are you pretending for, you trash? Who do you think you are to be talking here!"

After saying that, he suddenly exerted force and threw a rib-cracking elbow at Li Hao.

However, before the rib-cracking elbow could hit Li Hao, Pompella's expression froze, his body swayed, and he fell straight to the ground with a thud. Curtis took three steps back in shock and uncertainty.

Li Hao shrugged helplessly, "Why bother?"

Step, step, step~

Chao Qinglong walked over step by step, followed by the members of North Carolina. A huge pressure enveloped the entire venue, blocking between Li Hao and Curtis.

Suddenly, the situation turned into Chao Qinglong leading North Carolina against Tianjing Mech Wu.

Whether as the leader of the North Carolina Alliance or the number one in the alliance, Chao Qinglong wouldn't sit idly by.

This was going to blow up big time. Tianjing Mech Wu was just asking for it. People were too lazy to bother with them, but they actually dared to take it seriously.

Even the teams preparing to board the plane stopped and watched this unexpected scene.

"Chao Qinglong, have you thought this through?" Robbie said, "This is your last chance."

Some people understood, while others were confused and didn't know what was happening.

The two sides were at daggers drawn. Before long, the other 13 teams also consciously took sides. The Knights of the Round Table, Cougars, Black Rock, and Prometheus were on Tianjing's side. Orcanman, Extreme Shadow, Sea Sharks, Calf, and the Dome were on North Carolina's side. The GRU Military Academy and Inti-Ls-Moth remained completely neutral, waiting to watch the show.

The last time Li Hao and Chao Qinglong faced each other was five years ago.

At this time, from the second tier, teams began to come out and stand on Tianjing Mech Wu's side, including Solomon's Udir team.

Everyone was bewildered. In fact, Zhou Naiyi and the others were also dumbfounded because they didn't know those teams at all.

Was this going to be a big fight right from the start?

"All participating members, return to your positions. After the training camp starts, private fights are prohibited." Lu Donglei's voice rang out.

If it was just a small fight, he wouldn't mind adding some competition, but it seemed that if this situation continued, the mid-season competition could end early.

This Li Hao... had something to him.

The doctor who was giving emergency treatment had people carry Pompella away. Obviously, this little Pompella couldn't participate in the mid-season competition. Curtis's face was extremely ugly. Pompella was the team's absolute main force. He was crippled right from the start, and the key was that no one saw how he was crippled.

Chao Qinglong looked at Li Hao, never saying a word. Li Hao smiled, and Chao Qinglong led his people onto the ship.

Orcanman's Ghost Shadow Milner walked over alone, "Li, different stands, but welcome to the mid-season competition."

Milner greeted him and left. The entire venue was silent, staring blankly at Tianjing Mech Wu. Who was this person named Li Hao?

Parkins grinned, "Li, why did you suddenly come back? This training camp is going to be lively!"

Mad Dog Parkins was still very wild. His fighting style was best at risking his life. Calf was also known as a rogue team in the mid-season competition. Once provoked, it was very troublesome. This guy's voice was loud and he didn't know how to restrain himself, so his voice spread throughout the hall.

"No one will think you're mute if you don't talk," Li Hao shook his head helplessly. This wasn't his intention.

"Haha, actually, brothers aren't trying to target you, it's just that times have changed, and the few people around you really can't carry the team. Why bother?" Parkins said grandly.

Li Hao suddenly glanced at Parkins lightly. In an instant, Parkins's smile froze, his pupils contracted violently, his entire body tensed, and his breathing became rapid.

"Considering we haven't seen each other in a long time, don't let there be a next time," Li Hao said softly.

Parkins's face turned black and white. He was now one of the Six Dragons, a famous figure... He took a deep breath and suddenly turned around, "Let's go."

"Did I say you could leave? Apologize!" Li Hao said indifferently, but Parkins couldn't move his feet.

All the members of the Calf Special Forces team were furious. This guy who came out of nowhere dared to be disrespectful to their captain. Their captain was generous and didn't bother with him, but he dared to push his luck. He was just courting death.

Everyone stared at Parkins, silent, roaring in their hearts. This was Parkins, Mad Dog Parkins, a madman who dared to bite anyone. He had severely injured his opponents many times in previous mid-season competitions.

Someone actually dared to step on his face.

Parkins clenched his fists tightly, suddenly reached out to stop his team members, looked at Zhou Naiyi and the others, and gritted his teeth, "I'm sorry!"

Then he looked at Li Hao. Li Hao nodded, and Parkins turned around and left with his team members, without saying another word.

For a moment, the hall was filled with whispers. Sazelac and Lu Donglei were stunned. Unruly behavior wasn't a big deal in the army. Most people with skills were troublemakers. Mad Dog Parkins was actually quite popular. Earth also needed this kind of mad dog spirit.

But someone could make him submit with just one look. It was like seeing a ghost.

Parkins left angrily with his people, obviously holding back a stomach full of fire. The subsequent training camp would probably erupt at any time.

"Second Brother, long time no see, I've missed you so much." Lomachenko walked over and gave Li Hao a big hug.

"If you have time, let's drink together," Li Hao said. Lomachenko was an old drunkard.

"Haha, I can't outdrink you," Lomachenko waved his hand and called Dillaginzo over, "This is my cousin Dillaginzo, call him Brother Li."

Dillaginzo was stunned. This guy had a big presence. Who was he? Brother Li?

But he admired and respected his brother very much and wouldn't embarrass him in public, "Brother Li, I'm Dillaginzo."

But there was still a hint of unwillingness and curiosity in his eyes.

Li Hao glanced at Lomachenko and nodded slightly.

"He's very similar to you."

Lomachenko laughed, "Second Brother, if we meet, I'll give it my all."

The GRU boarded the ship. Ofie and Robbie didn't need to say hello. The two of them led their teams onto the ship. Yan Peng and Li Hao bumped fists and led their teams onto the ship as well.

Just when everyone thought the strange atmosphere was over, suddenly someone left their team and came to Li Hao.

"Brother Li, Hunter Team Three, Batilla!"

"Brother Li, Hunter Team Two, Hong Tu."

"Brother Li, Hunter Team Five..."

One after another, soldiers walked out of their teams alone, looking at Li Hao with fiery eyes. The order of the entire training camp was obviously disrupted.
