Skeleton Elf
Chapter 230 Superpowered Zuo Xiaotang
Ma Long was startled, "Brother Hao, what's going on? Are you making such a big show? I'm a little panicked."
"It's nothing, just a small matter. I'm just being cautious. We need to focus a bit ahead and take a few days to adapt. Is everyone okay with that?" Li Hao said with a smile.
Zhou Naiyi and the others had no objections. Huo Ying couldn't wait, "Captain, let's do it! The more special, the better, I love the excitement."
Looking at the gleeful silly darky, Jiris smiled, "I don't know about anything else, but it will definitely be exciting. I just don't know if your hearts can handle it."
"Zi Yuan, Ling Xiao, you two don't need to go. Just take a vacation," Li Hao said. He felt that this training wasn't very friendly to girls, especially those not from the mecha department.
Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao exchanged glances. "Do we have to keep it a secret?"
"It's not about keeping it a secret, I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable watching."
Tan Ziyuan shook her head firmly, looking at Li Hao seriously, "Captain, I'm the team's secretary. You don't think I'm unprofessional, do you?"
"I'm Ziyuan's assistant, hmph, I want to go too!" Lu Lingxiao waved her fist, expressing her professionalism.
Li Hao rubbed his nose. If Tan Ziyuan was unprofessional, then nothing was professional. "Alright, do what you can and don't push yourselves. Jiris, is everything ready on your end?"
Jiris gave an OK gesture. "Principal Long is still very nice."
Li Hao had really stirred up everyone's interest. A group of people came to Tianjing Mecha Academy's new laboratory. Everyone they met along the way gave Jiris a respectful look.
In this field, Jiris was the king.
The group arrived at the room. Through the tempered glass, they saw a very large and healthy giant insect inside, its color translucent, indicating it was very well cared for. The ground was stained with traces of raw meat and blood.
"Brother Hao, what's up? Are we doing another dissection experiment?"
"We already understand the structure. It's boring. I like hacking, not taking it slow," xxs-1.
"Dissection? This one looks very complete. Isn't it a bit of a waste?" Ma Long always started from economic value.
Zhou Naiyi and Musashi didn't speak, but they had already realized something. Zhou Naiyi's face was a little pale. She wasn't afraid when she had a mecha, but what if she didn't?
Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao were fine, because they had seen a lot of images and didn't feel much. Mainly, they didn't realize what Li Hao was going to do.
The door opened, and Long Dan Ni also arrived.
"Principal!"
Long Dan Ni waved her hand, "Li Hao, are you sure you want to do something so dangerous?"
"Principal, it's not dangerous. I think everyone is ready. Our bodies and techniques have reached a bottleneck, and mental growth is very necessary. Although mental confrontation with giant insects is a bit simple, the effect is the most direct," Li Hao said.
Zhou Naiyi and Musashi guessed it, and Ma Long and Zuo Xiaotang immediately jumped up and down.
"What, what? Mental confrontation? Confronting giant insect fear???" Ma Long's pupils dilated, and his body shivered.
Li Hao nodded. Ma Long refused. "No, Brother Hao, I'm not ready. This is too much. I won't be lazy anymore. Let's take it easy, or change it. This is not something a human can do!"
"No, you're ready. People who have awakened the golden zone have stronger resistance," Li Hao said with a smile, "Of course, the rebound will also be stronger."
Ma Long breathed a sigh of relief for the first half, but almost choked on the second half.
Long Dan Ni nodded. "Then let's begin. Be careful!" She was a decisive person. To achieve great things, one had to take risks.
"Okay, today is just a test. Everyone go down together. Don't worry, it's very safe." Li Hao took the lead, and Musashi and the others followed. Ma Long wanted to run, but Huo Ying grabbed him by the collar and dragged him down. Who told him to laugh at himself just now?
"Brother Hao, Principal, Principal, can we discuss it again? Principal, give me a chance..." Ma Long, who was retreating, didn't forget to struggle to the death.
Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao looked at each other. They had never experienced giant insect fear, only heard about it, but judging from everyone's reaction, it probably wasn't simple.
The group went down in the elevator. Once inside, no one spoke. Everyone held their breath, and the sound of pounding heartbeats could be heard.
Li Hao turned around and smiled. "It's okay, they're just bigger dung beetles. Don't be fooled by their appearance. In their eyes, we're also scary."
Ma Long rolled his eyes and twitched his mouth. He was no longer in the mood to be witty. If these things didn't drool, he would take the insect's surname.
In the observation room, Long Dan Ni glanced at the relaxed Jiris. "Can you guarantee safety?"
Jiris pushed up his glasses, a smile on his lips. "Principal Long has seen the world. You don't think this level is enough to participate in the S-match, do you?"
Are you kidding? Safety has never been a consideration for the Apocalypse to increase its power.
"I'm not in the army now. Safety is the top priority," Long Dan Ni didn't back down.
"Relax, relax. With Second Brother here, nothing can go wrong. Just wait and see the show." Although they weren't in the same system, Jiris still had to give Long Dan Ni some face. After all, Second Brother was under her command now.
The elevator door opened. A few seconds felt longer than ever. Zuo Xiaotang was sweating. Except for Li Hao and Musashi, everyone else was enduring it.
As soon as the group appeared, the razor giant insect went berserk, but it was already tightly chained. The thick titanium alloy chains rattled, and its big mouth let out an ear-piercing roar, saliva flying everywhere.
Facing the frontal impact, everyone's heart beat even faster. Li Hao walked over. There was a line on the ground, five meters away from the giant insect. Ignoring the raging giant insect, "Come on, everyone stand on this line, one by one. Musashi, you go first."
Musashi didn't hesitate, walking towards the giant insect step by step. He couldn't stroll like Li Hao. With each step, he felt the giant insect's frontal mental impact. The roar rushed to the top of his head, as if trying to devour him.
But Musashi's eyes never wavered, facing the ferocious giant insect, stepping forward step by step, finally standing on the line, but in an instant, all his muscles tensed, and facing the giant insect, he couldn't move anymore, his whole person plunged into confrontation.
"The Musashi kid is good, genuine good stuff, long and unified mental and physical resilience," Jiris said with a smile, pressing his glasses, a blue light flashing, "And he's very lucky."
Seriously, if Second Brother wasn't here, he would only be excellent, without the opportunity to reach the top. There were always talented horses.
Long Dan Ni didn't speak, just watched. She knew how terrifying the giant insect's intimidation was. If one wasn't careful, there would be mental problems. She understood what Li Hao meant, but it was too risky, so she had to watch personally. Once it exceeded the risk line, she had to stop it.
She certainly wanted results, but she was first and foremost a teacher.
Seeing that Musashi had stood firm, Li Hao turned around and waved to the others, "Huo Ying, Zuo Xiaotang, you two go together."
Huo Ying wasn't afraid, but... his legs were weak. Damn it, too embarrassing. Damn stink bug, I'm not afraid!
Huo Ying struggled and swayed forward. Although there was a distance, and the giant insect was chained tightly, it felt like it was right in front of him, ready to swallow him in one bite.
And a surprising scene appeared... Zuo Xiaotang just slipped past, muttering something.
Closing your eyes in the face of a giant insect was useless. Mental intimidation was direct fear, but it didn't seem to work on Zuo Xiaotang.
Jiris in the observation room was stunned. "Huh, this is interesting. I'll go, could it be flow control? No way, this little fatty isn't qualified. Not bad, there's another freak in the team."
Zuo Xiaotang stood on the line very easily, but he didn't move, as if maintaining some thought, still muttering.
Huo Ying was very slow, almost crawling... wriggling, but always maintaining the confrontation. For Huo Ying, being unable to win was being unable to win, it had nothing to do with daring or not. Just go for it, people die and birds face the sky, but being a coward was not allowed.
In just a few meters, Huo Ying moved for seven or eight minutes, freezing the moment he stood on the line, his muscles bulging, his expression a bit ferocious, baring his teeth, obviously already fighting.
"People who go up first will confront for a longer time. Why not let Zhou Naiyi and Ma Long go first?" Lu Lingxiao was a little puzzled.
"Musashi is the strongest, this Zuo Xiaotang has a trick, Huo Ying's body is very solid, his emotions are simple and focused, so these three are the strongest. With them sharing the burden, Zhou Naiyi and Ma Long will be a little easier. Zhou Naiyi is very strong, but she is thoughtful and has a giant insect shadow, which weakens her. Ma Long is a bit weak, his chicken-stealing personality is easy to collapse in the face of giant insects," Jiris explained, glancing at Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao. Putting aside everything else, the appearance of Tianjing's girls was quite powerful, and their temperament was also very good.
Long Dan Ni nodded silently. Zhou Naiyi and Ma Long began to move forward synchronously. Teasing was teasing, but when it was time to go, Ma Long didn't nag. Zhou Naiyi was obviously under a lot of pressure. With her strength of awakening the golden zone, it shouldn't have been like this, but she had suffered a giant insect attack before, and there were still some sequelae. The more afraid you are of fear, the more the power of fear will increase. Mental pressure largely comes from self-consumption, and this was what Zhou Naiyi had to face.
Fortunately, there were already three people in front, and there was plenty of time to build psychological preparation. Zhou Naiyi was still moving forward steadily.
Ma Long was shaking all over, no longer as dashing as usual, and had already entered the red-eye state.
In the end, the two also stood on the line, enduring the violent pressure from the giant insect. This giant insect was healthier, and its mental intimidation ability was more ferocious, like a wave of terrifying waves bombarding the five people. At this time, there was no way back, everyone could only confront, once they gave up, their spirit would collapse.
This thought arose in everyone's heart, they had to persevere, there was no retreat.
Musashi was very steady, very, very steady, but it was also the first time he had received such training. He was obviously using too much force at the beginning, and the time was also the longest. Cold sweat was already coming out.
Zuo Xiaotang... was actually in the best condition, as if he was in a wonderful state. The giant insect seemed to have no effect on him, of course, provided that he could maintain this state.
Huo Ying had already begun to shake, his body trembling irregularly, his face also a burst of red and a burst of white.
Zhou Naiyi and Ma Long were about the same. Both of them had entered the golden zone. If they controlled it well and their emotions were stable, they should have been similar to Musashi and didn't need to show their cards, but the two of them used more force. They had done many rounds of psychological preparation before, but when they really faced it, they collapsed for the most part, wasting too much mental energy.
(Before entering the mid-season, there is a final boost, a need for growth, and foreshadowing for some ability characteristics. Who can guess Zhou Naiyi's... two words, guess wrong and applaud, guess right... no possible...)
