Skeleton Elf
Chapter 229 Grand Melee
After Mar left, Kevin came in. "Ant, you should have played along with them. That guy is a confidant of Hirian, with a lot of influence. Directly refusing might cause us some trouble."
Cheng Konghai didn't care. "Brother Kevin, they're experts at playing dirty. We don't need to. Don't worry, I've never wanted to recover as much as I do now. There's always a way. If they can do it, we can definitely do it too!"
"Yo, not bad. You're finally back to your old self. Then let's fight them. I want to see what tricks they have up their sleeves!"
"Don't tell Second Brother about this."
"Damn, you don't need to tell me that. I'm not a kid. If I can't beat them head-on, I'm an expert at playing dirty too!" Kevin licked his lips, finding it increasingly interesting. Was Hirian trying to attack their home base this time?
The night passed.
After lunch, the team gathered. Everyone was a bit excited. The previous training programs had continued, and everyone had improved significantly. Musang, Malone, and Zhou Naiyi had awakened the Golden Zone. Zuo Xiaotang felt he was close. Huo Ying might have slightly inferior aptitude, but his physical fitness and basic skills were also improving significantly. His defining characteristic was enthusiasm and focus. His dedication to mecha was absolute, but spiritual talent couldn't be forced.
"What surprise do you think the captain has for us? I feel like the recent training has been less effective. I hope he'll increase the difficulty," Huo Ying said, always full of confidence.
"I just want to take a nap," Malone said, slumped in his chair to conserve energy.
"Some are drowning, while others are dying of thirst," Zuo Xiaotang said enviously. "I've been playing too much these past two days, and the training isn't effective at all. But I did gain over a hundred points."
"Wuwuwu, why can you gain points, but I lose them? It's all because of Kairon!" Huo Ying said with a resentful look, also a bit envious of Malone. He hadn't gained points, and he didn't have a girlfriend. "When will I find true love?"
Teacher Ma blinked and joked, "Old Hei, there's no true love in this world. You love any girl you see."
Musang, on the other hand, was full of energy. He trained thoroughly and rested thoroughly. After watching the match between Mu Ou and Romero, Musang meditated, comprehensively learning and absorbing. Most people saw it as just entertainment, but for Musang, it was a rare and valuable experience. There weren't many descendants of the Wu family, but each was steady and reliable, with a solid foundation from childhood. It wasn't rigid, but flexible. Train seriously, think flexibly, and understand deeply. Training wasn't the goal; you had to learn to reflect.
This kind of training was slower to show results in the early stages. Musang's attack style was also steady and solid. But once he entered a period of explosive growth, the power contained within would be unmatched by others. Ancient martial arts emphasized great skill without sophistication, returning to simplicity. Musang had been moving in this direction.
Zhou Naiyi saw it even more clearly. Musang had entered a period of rapid improvement. It had to be said that a good reputation wasn't without merit. The Wu family had suppressed Musang for a year even in his first year of university. Now, his motivation and mentality had entered a very good stage. And coincidentally, he had met Li Hao, who could eliminate the inflated feeling of rapidly increasing power, making for a perfect transition.
Regarding the upcoming Mid-Season Tournament, Zhou Naiyi suddenly didn't feel so much pressure. She felt it was a rare opportunity for a challenge. Now, she wanted to know what Li Hao had prepared for them.
"Class Monitor, what are you thinking about? Do you know something?" Malone asked.
"I don't know."
"Tch, how is that possible? Brother Hao listens to you the most," Malone said, pouting.
"Tell us, tell us, let us prepare mentally."
"He just said it's the stage we need now and applied to the principal for giant insects. It's probably to let us understand them."
"Wow, what's there to understand about that thing? EMP is enough. I still have psychological trauma from the last time," Malone said speechlessly. "Besides, our school is so poor. Where are we going to buy giant insects?"
Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao arrived. Recently, Lingxiao had been coming very frequently. "Everyone's here. Where's the captain?"
"I don't know. He summoned us and then ran off somewhere. Class Monitor, you need to manage him. Brother Hao has been a bit arrogant lately!" Malone said, stirring things up.
"Teacher Ma, it seems you have some complaints about me. Your training volume can be doubled later," Li Hao said with a smile as he walked in, followed by Jeres.
"Haha, just kidding, Brother Hao, don't do that. Give the increased volume to Musang. Yo, isn't this Mr. Jeres? This place isn't suitable for you," Malone said unhappily.
Jeres pushed up his glasses and smiled slightly. "I'm Second Brother's invited special assistant."
Everyone was silent. In fact, they had already realized the problem from the way he addressed Li Hao. The strange Apocalypse people like Robbie, Orffie, and Yan Peng called Li Hao "Second Brother." People like Chen Ang and Mo Yu could only call him "Brother Li," and they didn't seem to talk to Li Hao much. This person dared to call him "Second Brother," so he was probably someone important in Apocalypse.
"Okay, arrange the other things. Malone, tell Sheng Man that you might not be able to see her for the next few days," Li Hao said.
