Chapter 1 The Teammates

Back in the dorm early in the morning, the three roommates seemed to be waiting for Li Hao.

"Oh, you guys are up early." Li Hao said with a smile.

"Hao-ge, where did you go last night?" Zuo Xiaotang asked curiously, "Ma Long said you went to rent a room, but I don't believe it."

"Zuo-ge, you're looking down on our Hao-ge. A man's gotta rent a room!" Ma Long laughed.

Zuo Xiaotang shook his head. "Impossible, he can't bear to spend the money."

Teacher Ma let out a strange cackle, his mind filling with possibilities.

"Bullshit, am I short of money? The point is I worked hard in EMP all night yesterday." Li Hao said speechlessly. "What are you thinking about all day? As the captain, I have to be more disciplined, okay?"

"Damn, I thought you and A Youyou had taken things to the next level. Hao-ge, don't delay, relationships between men and women can fade if you drag them on." Ma Long was very disappointed. Alas, these rookies don't understand, taking action is the only way to win.

Wu Zang opened his Sky讯 (Sky-Net communication device). "Mu Ou (Puppet) is on fire, he's already in the top ten of the Sky讯 topic charts."

"Ah, so fierce? I said yesterday that this guy was going to be successful. He developed the Armor Leopard (Kai Bao) a while ago, and now many experts are starting to look for people who have mastered the Cross Wheel. I knew this guy would be successful." Ma Long got excited. "Now everyone is discussing who this person is. He's definitely a top S-rank. The most likely candidate is Asashoryu (Chao Qing Long), or maybe a secret weapon from the military. This guy's close combat level is too terrifying."

If defeating an S-rank once was a fluke, then Mu Ou's continuous victories, especially the way he won, was enough to prove his strength. It was amazing that USE actually had such a top expert. Obviously, Earth didn't use its full strength in S10. For countless Earth viewers, the question arose: who exactly is Mu Ou, and can he participate in the S-tournament?

He was a terrifying existence with tens of millions of fans even when he was AFK, yet no one knew who he was.

"It's not Asashoryu, this isn't his fighting style." Wu Zang shook his head.

"Right, Wu Zang, you've fought him before, what's his approximate level?" Ma Long asked curiously.

"I don't know, I can't even tell how much strength he was using."

Ma Long curled his lips. "Really? So fierce? This guy is really something. Recently, the Moon people have been developing the Armor Leopard to the fullest. Can he use the Cross Wheel in real mode? If he doesn't get on with it, the Moon people will take the lead again."

"I think he can. With his strength, if he can use it in the virtual zone, he can definitely use it in the real zone."

"Brothers, his triple hit from yesterday is also on the topic charts. A simple and unadorned triple hit actually achieved such a terrifying effect."

"We call it the Triple Wave Technique in ancient martial arts, but to achieve this effect, he must have used the Golden Zone. In terms of the core, I call it Instant Triple Force, the highest level." Wu Zang was also exceptionally moved. This was the balanced application of power and technique that he craved.

"Hey, hey, brothers, are they saying you're similar to Mu Ou? Both are mysterious, both are..." Lu Ying said smugly, not expecting himself to be so famous.

Wu Zang smiled. "Cough, cough, you and Sheng Man went to have breakfast."

"You went to early training." Li Hao also nodded.

Right Fatty patted Lu Ying. "Hao-ge, keep it up. Li Hao is waiting for you, you have to lose weight too."

Weng Jian was extremely embarrassed outside the dorm room. Could it be that his recent performance wasn't eye-catching enough?

At this time, in a hospital room on Mars, Fire Girl (Huo Nv) was lying down, surrounded by various voices, and strange smells permeated the air. Yes, it was sad. At the last moment, she instructed her assistant to go to a private hospital because she wanted to save her energy to fight Mu Ou.

How did a dignified niche streamer end up in this state? She stared blankly at the dirty ceiling until one person was missing behind the hospital bed.

"Do you have time to sign autographs now? Get lost." Fire Girl said impatiently.

The other person smiled slightly. "Mr. Fire Girl, that signature might really be needed."

A genuine Moon-accented sissy?

Only then did Fire Girl properly size up the other person, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, obviously expensive, with a faint scent of perfume. She had been around, and that flirtatious temperament was extraordinary.

A contract was handed to Fire Girl. She glanced at the other person and subconsciously flipped through it, then froze. She looked seriously at the contract, then at the sissy in the suit.

"Are you sure your brain is normal?" Fire Girl couldn't believe that there were such stupid people in the world, or perhaps they were rich and gullible?

"Mr. Fire Girl, are you going to sign or not?" The woman in the suit was very calm.

"Sign, of course I'll sign, there's nothing wrong with my brain!" Fire Girl took the pen and signed immediately.

Putting away the contract, the middle-aged woman smiled slightly. "Very good, I hope you can complete the task well. Let me give you a piece of advice: the best way to defeat an opponent is not to avoid the right and wrong of the event itself, or their strength, but to completely deny them from a moral standpoint, so that all their words and deeds lose credibility, destroying them from the soul."

Fire Girl was stunned. Of course, she knew who the other person was referring to. She grinned. "You Moon people are still so insidious. However, I like it. The higher they climb, the harder they fall. Who are you, and why..."

"Mr. Fire Girl, there's an old saying: the more you know, the faster you die. You're a smart person... Besides, this place stinks too much." The middle-aged woman left with a look of disgust.

Fire Girl looked at the contract and the amount, and a wide grin spread across her face. Haha! Limitless fighting spirit burned within her. That damned Mu Ou, his day had come. He had obviously offended some big shot. She would kill him and take his surname. Fire countered Wood, it was fate. Even the heavens were helping her.

"Doctor, doctor, are you all dead? I want a private room, get me the best and biggest room, and I want ten pretty nurses!" Fire Girl roared. This was the life that belonged to her, the life she deserved.

Tianjing Mech Academy – Mech Theory Class.

Lu Ying was grinning like a Shiba Inu (Erha). Wu Zang and the others couldn't stand it anymore. Had she never seen a woman in her four lifetimes? Was it really necessary?

That A Youyou wasn't bad-looking, her skin felt good, and she was quite pleasing to the eye. Her figure wasn't too clear, but it should be decent.

But was Senior Sister (Shi Jie) fragrant? Senior Sister was sensible! Alas, the young don't know the value of Senior Sister, mistaking Junior Sister (Xue Mei) for a treasure.

Tan Ziyuan was truly good, more high-profile in personality than Sheng Man, and actually complemented Lu Ying very well. In private, Wu Zang and Sheng Man had discussed it for a long time, but they still couldn't understand what Lu Ying saw in A Youyou.

If it was about liking the figure, then Ma Long and Lu Lingxiao's figures were even better, especially Weng Jian's, a pure goddess, a killer type.

In order to better understand mechs and serve the team, Sheng Man and the others also came to this open class. Only Tan Ziyuan didn't come because she had something to do. It had to be said that it instantly raised the Mech Department's looks. Zhou Naiyi was definitely an exception. Most high-value girls wouldn't choose the Mech Department. Like Olivia, she was from the Starship Department. Eventually, they would become first-line fighters, but commanders. Strong personal abilities and rich experience could lead to more correct judgments.

Weng Jianjuan had been secretly looking at Weng Jian, a little absent-minded. Weng Jian felt the gaze and looked back at Ruldeng and smiled slightly. Ruldeng quickly lowered his head like a child caught stealing candy, pretending to be nonchalant. Weng Jian, who was on the side, almost vomited blood, and said in a low voice, "What are you afraid of? Be more generous."

Ruldeng shook his head quickly, he couldn't do it.

Wu Zang rolled his eyes. All his teachings had been in vain. He had long seen that Ruldeng was interested in Ma Long. This guy, like a girl from an anime with such a figure, couldn't resist Ma Long's killing weapon. But you can't learn anime when chasing boys, especially when facing a guy like Weng Jian, being timid will never work.

Li Hao was listening carefully, while Lu Ying and A Youyou were talking about something, as if they had endless things to say.

Professor Zuo Xiaotang arrived, with a smile on his face, feeling that the professor was in a good mood today. The classroom quieted down.

A giant 3D image of the Armor Leopard (Kai Bao) floated in the center of the classroom. Zuo Xiaotang snapped his fingers. "I believe everyone has been paying attention to EMP's recent developments. Among you, who has practiced the Armor Leopard? Raise your hands."

In an instant, 40% of the audience raised their hands. Zuo Xiaotang nodded in satisfaction. "Those who can successfully control the Cross Wheel, raise your hands."

Only a dozen people raised their hands sparsely in the class.

"Very good. Although there aren't many successful people, this mech itself isn't a special mech. This is a super mech. There's nothing wrong with its design. The problem is that it's too advanced. In the past, mechs relied on stability and quantity, but now, with the constant development of golden genes and the skillful use of power, the role of super mechs is obviously more prominent. In fact, all the major federations have focused their research and development on this aspect, and Mr. Gabo was the first to see this!"

Zuo Xiaotang said. He was also a supporter of the Armor Leopard series. Some leading UP academies thought that Tianjing was indeed more "old-fashioned", and that it couldn't keep up with the trend.

"Take a look at the design of this mech. If the Cross Wheel in the Super God Strike state can achieve it once, then a second, third, or even more attempts are possible. And what does that require?"

Zuo Xiaotang looked around and saw Lu Ying. "Lu Ying, answer this question."

Lu Ying, who was pointed out, stood up. Everyone's eyes turned to Weng Jian. This... the captain was strange, inexplicably becoming the captain of the Tianjing team. Everyone thought it was a flash in the pan, but who would have thought that he would actually become it? This captain was an immense honor. But this person was usually very low-key. In the past, when Lao Gao was around, there were always gossip news every day, and he would always organize activities to show his face, but Lu Ying didn't have any activities.

"Professor, it's the stability of the pilot's control." Lu Ying said.

"That's right. In the past, our understanding of the Armor Leopard was flawed. The Armor Leopard has never been unstable. When Master Gabo designed it, he perfectly balanced the Cross Wheel in terms of the mech's body shape and movement mode, and even covered the use of other weapons. However, in the past, we gave all the difficulty of operation to the mech, and ignored the pilot. However, Master Gabo's design concept is the pursuit of the unity of man and machine. If you ignore the pilot and only consider the mech, then what's the use of the pilot?"

Zuo Xiaotang said with emotion, "The current data from the five major federations all proves that the Armor Leopard is not only not behind, but will shine in this competition. This is the technological revival of USE!"

At a time when UP was about to dominate the world, this was too important for many confused people in USE. ROM had beast armor, and Titan had giant soldiers. Only Earth was lost in indecision. And out of pride of Earthlings, this kind of change was very difficult. The internal debate about the direction had never stopped.

"Lu Ying, as the captain, have you mastered it?"

Just as Lu Ying was about to sit down, Zuo Xiaotang suddenly asked.
