Chapter 1 The Situation

The war room fell silent. Gregg and the others exchanged glances, feeling that their arrival in Tianjing had already been quite an exaggeration. The Cougars? The Tiansheng Mech Fighting Team? It seemed they really needed to re-evaluate Li Hao's influence.

Fortunately, the meaning of this exchange competition had suddenly changed, and the things it could bring were completely different.

When Long Danni received the news, she doubted her ears.

The Cougars? The Tiansheng Mech Fighting Team? Full-strength lineups?

The Tiansheng Mech Fighting Team was even covering all expenses and bringing equipment?

Even though Long Danni had great faith in Zhou Naiyi, she couldn't help but confirm several times. Soon after, the Cougars and the Tiansheng Mech Fighting Team's schools both issued official announcements.

They were really coming.

No matter how narcissistic Long Danni was, she didn't think she had such great charm. A mere mid-season qualification shouldn't attract these three. Did Li Hao have that much charm?

If strength alone could attract people, they should be going to North Carolina Military Academy.

That evening, Li Hao woke up, his hair a mess, looking a little haggard, as if he'd been ravaged by countless strong men.

Li Hao was also furious. He'd finally recruited a few employees, but these damned bugs kept tracking him. In the end, they were all wiped out, but he still hadn't found what he was looking for. Li Hao decided to change locations tonight. As soon as he appeared, the entire area would be sealed off by giant insects.

He couldn't concentrate on his work; he still had to play guerrilla warfare.

While eating, he opened his Skylink and saw the missed calls. Li Hao blinked, wanting to ignore them. After looking around, he felt a headache coming on; it seemed he couldn't just ignore them.

"Class Monitor, what's going on? Did I sleep through the apocalypse?"

Li Hao was a little grumpy from just waking up.

"Ah, Captain Li, are you complaining?" Zhou Naiyi said.

"Haha, haha, how could I? Class Monitor, are Robbie and Tita coming?" Li Hao was actually indifferent. This was a good thing for Ma Long and the others. "We don't have much funding."

"They're covering all expenses themselves. Four teams are just right; any more would be chaotic, so I rejected the others."

After Tita, Udir Academy, Blackrock Military Academy, and several others also wanted to come. The wealthy Solomon even wanted to buy facilities and build new training grounds. How did his brain work? But Zhou Naiyi politely declined them all. She really couldn't let any more come. Four teams were just right. Any more, and Tianjing Mech Fighting Team would lose its presence. Who would they choose as opponents? How would they arrange things?

She didn't want Tianjing Mech Fighting Team to become mere tea-serving bystanders.

"Class Monitor, wise and mighty!" Li Hao yawned. "Don't indulge them. Since they're coming to our territory, they have to follow our rules!"

"Are you okay? How can you be so tired even after sleeping?" Zhou Naiyi felt that Li Hao wasn't in good condition; he seemed tired recently.

"I'm cultivating immortality. I'm fine. Don't be polite with them. We're not practice partners; they are!" Li Hao instructed.

Zhou Naiyi nodded. "Are you sure you're okay? You've been like this lately. Take care of yourself."

Li Hao smiled and winked. "Class Monitor is so concerned about me. Then bring me a late-night snack tonight."

"Get lost!"

…. "How annoying."

Turning off the Skylink, Zhou Naiyi shook her head helplessly, a smile on her lips. Li Hao had already jumped onto the bed, full of energy. He was going to devise new tactics and teach these muscle-brained guys a good lesson for daring to stop him from mining. He would let them know which end of the kitchen god was thicker and which was thinner.

Tianjing team's training ground had become a scenic spot for taking pictures. Ofi's charm was quite significant.

What? The Cougars and Tiansheng Mech Fighting Team are coming too? A joint practice of the four teams?"

"Is this real? When did our Tianjing Mech Fighting Team become so awesome?"

"Wow, wow, Tita and Ofi, what a spectacle! Peerless beauties?"

"Doesn't this sound a little unbelievable?"

"My next-door neighbor's relative's son in the school affairs office has already received emails from the two academies. I feel like our Tianjing is about to take off!"

"I feel like we're just providing a place. Is it possible the Knights of the Round Table and the Cougars have some big plans and are using us as a smokescreen?"

"I heard that Ofi looks down on Chao Qinglong. Could it be that she wants to seize the throne at this mid-season competition?"

"Support the queen's ascension!"

Tianjing Mech Fighting Team's friend circle was buzzing, but it seemed the news was true. However, no one believed they were coming for Tianjing Mech Fighting Team. Ofi and Robbie had always had a good relationship. Among the Six Dragons, Ofi and Robbie were in one camp, Chao Qinglong, Loma Qinco, and Milner were in another, and Mad Dog Perkins just didn't like anyone.

It wasn't just Earth that was like this. Mars and the Moon were similar. There were strong individuals, but no one had emerged with the absolute power to unify everything. On the Moon, S11, the God of War returned. If Maxis and Van Vleet could achieve the best results in this competition, they would likely become the number one. On Mars, the Three Wolves were competing for supremacy. Currently, Wolf King Basta was in the lead, but Slay Wolf Duan Wu and Lone Wolf Romero were unconvinced. Martians were the most difficult to deal with. If Basta wanted to ascend the throne, he would need that S11 championship.

It could be said that as the beginning of the second decade of the S-League, all the strong individuals from recent competitions had gathered. If this lineup was maintained until the S-League, it would be interesting. It felt like a battle for supremacy, where only the true king could emerge.

Soon, those who received the news felt that Ofi was the one who initiated it. If Ofi wanted to defeat Chao Qinglong in the mid-season competition, she would definitely need to gather people. Robbie would definitely come, and Robbie had a good relationship with Tita, who had always been a practice partner. Compared to that, Tita and Ofi had definitely improved each other. They wouldn't have any conflicts in the short term.

And Tita had just lost to Puppet in the challenge and probably wanted to understand the situation on Earth. Tianjing Mech Fighting Team felt like a smokescreen.

But for the Tianjing team members, even being a bonus was a blessing. How many years had it been since they had seen such teams come? The last time was back when Wu Fa was around. Unfortunately, Wu Fa only reached his peak in his senior year, and then Tianjing Mech Fighting Team began to decline rapidly.

Ofi also received the news that the other two teams were coming. She remained noncommittal. She didn't care. Robbie and Tita probably didn't have a true understanding of power yet. Although the Moon was the first to discover the Golden Zone, it didn't necessarily mean they could unleash the greatest power.

…. In the meditation room, in the dim light, Ofi's body was suspended.

North Carolina Military Academy.

The faces of the first team members were pale. Ye Tong was among them. They were in the laboratory, where a Razor Giant Insect transported from Kepler was locked up, tightly bound by alloy chains. This giant insect had almost no injuries, and its vitality was very strong, capable of producing great intimidation. The basic requirement for entering the first team was being able to withstand the intimidation of this giant insect.

The laboratory's alloy doors had been closed. Through the glass, the crowd watched as Chao Qinglong, naked from the waist up, walked towards the giant insect. The Razor Giant Insect roared madly, brandishing its giant razor claws, but locked by thick chains, it could only roar in vain. Even through the glass, they could feel the suppression of that biological level.

Without the protection of mechs, humans were just food in front of this kind of creature. The members of the first team had all experienced that fear. They didn't know what the captain wanted them to wait for.

Was he going to do something crazy?

Chao Qinglong had never been one for many words. Most of the time, they didn't know what he was thinking. Ever since they received the news yesterday that Ofi was leading her main force to Tianjing Mech Fighting Team, those familiar with him could still sense something was different.

Chao Qinglong walked up to the Razor Giant Insect. The giant claws waved right in front of him, and saliva sprayed onto Chao Qinglong's face. From the moment the giant insect encountered humans, it was filled with a greedy appetite. At this distance, the giant insect became even more crazed. The people outside were panicked. Were those chains strong enough?

If they broke, today's headlines would belong to North Carolina Military Academy across the entire solar system. The staff at the neighboring North Carolina laboratory didn't know what Chao Qinglong was planning, but within this academy, Chao Qinglong possessed considerable authority. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a leader, a hope for all of Earth, the only person who could stand up against the expansion of the NUP and ROM.

Of course, he possessed absolute strength. In the process of fighting the giant insects, others could only try to stay conscious, while Chao Qinglong had no emotional fluctuations at all. In other words, the giant insect's intimidation was useless against him. Just this one thing could kill 99% of the warriors in the solar system.

Chao Qinglong opened his Skylink, and a window popped up. A page appeared, and Chao Qinglong compared his pupils, unlocking it. Immediately, the entire laboratory's alarm sounded, and all the staff were scared stiff.

Clang, clang, clang!

The chains locking the Razor Giant Insect were opened, including the chain cover over its mouth. The Razor Giant Insect instantly released all its suppressed power.

Roar!

A giant insect intimidation like a hurricane burst out, and everyone's faces instantly lost color. What was he doing???

Roar!

Chao Qinglong, at the center of the storm, was not afraid at all. His roar actually suppressed the Razor Giant Insect's sound. His unrestrained posture was like a god of war descending. The Razor Giant Insect leaped up, and the razor claws slashed towards Chao Qinglong.

Clang, clang, clang!

The hard marble floor was pierced with hole after hole, and Chao Qinglong's figure flashed constantly.

The Razor Giant Insect suddenly crashed over, Chao Qinglong's figure disappeared, and the next second, he appeared in the air. The Razor Giant Insect suddenly bounced up and crashed back in the opposite direction.

Boom! Chao Qinglong was hit head-on, bounced off the ceiling, and fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, everyone present was terrified. They dared not inject liquid nitrogen. The giant insect might be frozen, but Chao Qinglong would be finished too.

The giant insect directly pounced over, its giant claws grabbing towards Chao Qinglong with all its strength. Boom! The claws were deeply embedded in the ground, but Chao Qinglong had disappeared.

Tada, tada, tada…

Chao Qinglong stepped on the claws and directly rushed to the front of the giant insect, seemingly wanting to jump to the top of the giant insect's head. The giant insect's claws were stuck in the ground and couldn't be pulled out for a moment, but he underestimated the giant insect's reaction speed. The giant insect's mouth was an almost lightning-fast attack, directly swallowing Chao Qinglong in one bite.

Mech Storm.
