Chapter 1 The Sazerac

Sazerac had come as well. This strange situation had never occurred in previous mid-season training camps. It was quite interesting, two very distinct camps. It turned out that many people had always been dissatisfied with Chao Qinglong. Standing in his position, it was a bit difficult to understand.

In the vast army training ground, only two people stood. Everyone else watched from outside.

"Why aren't we allowed to go in and watch?" Kiran Rao was a little unhappy. Watching experts spar up close was actually very beneficial, especially to catch their weaknesses.

"That's to avoid you getting killed," said Depuya. He had come out after treatment. He was a little injured, but nothing serious. Damn it, this bastard had shown mercy. He was angry, making himself look like a villain.

Kiran laughed, "You think I'm like you? You don't even have confidence in yourself. I want to see if this Li Hao can turn the world upside down."

"Rao, with your level, forget it. If you're not convinced, there's plenty of time later. I'll give you a chance to replace me," Robbie said forcefully, his Mad Lion aura fully unleashed. At this point, there was no room for maneuver between the two camps in the mid-season competition.

"Robbie, you think too highly of yourself. Even if we want to find one of the Six Dragons, it doesn't have to be you," Luo Dongsheng said faintly, meaning they didn't even think much of Robbie, the bottom of the Six Dragons.

Robbie shrugged, not caring. He really wanted to try out the so-called New Five Tigers… Four Tigers’ strength.

Observation positions were limited. Those in front were all captains of the major teams, and others could only watch from afar in the back. Except for a few people who vaguely sensed something, most people were not satisfied with the clearing of the area. The field was so big, why couldn't they go in? It wasn't like they were fighting with mecha. Could palm winds really kill people?

"Aufi, relax. It's not like you haven't fought Er-ge (second brother) before. He's invincible," Robbie laughed. He had more confidence in Li Hao than in himself.

"Robbie, don't be so optimistic. Chao Qinglong's strength back then was second only to Li-ge (big brother). Over the years, he has been focused and working harder than anyone else. Last year, because of his injuries, I felt that he didn't go all out, just so he could use his full strength this year. Just that kind of forbearance is extraordinary. This battle is hard to say," said Lomachenko. "Actually… what I want most is for them to join forces, then our Earth would be different."

Robbie also sighed. If the three brothers from back then were still around, they wouldn't have to worry about Xiaoyuezi's affairs. It was a regret.

"Even if they join forces, this year might not be easy. Hilian participated in the NUP mid-season competition," Aufi said calmly.

Everyone's expression changed slightly. What a distant name, Hilian Mellaphis, a distant curse, the man who once manipulated everyone in the palm of his hand, was he back too?

"Wasn't he crippled?"

No one answered. Everyone knew that Hilian had recovered from a vegetative state, and even caused a stir in the scientific community. At the same time, he was doing a lot of charity work. Everyone thought he had seen the light and changed his way of life. Originally, with his background, he didn't need to compete with them. Who would have thought he would suddenly come back?

"Could it be that he has fully recovered?" Yan Peng couldn't help but frown.

"With his personality, would he participate in the mid-season competition if he had only recovered?" Aufi shook his head.

This year's NUP was already terrifyingly strong with the return of the God of War from his injury, and now Hilian was out too. Hilian always did things with the result as the only goal. If he dared to come out, he must have made complete preparations. Aufi suspected that he had recovered long ago, and with the Mellaphis family's energy to stir up trouble, it wouldn't be just the mid-season competition.

"Who is Hilian?" Usiya asked, her emerald eyes shining with curiosity.

The expressions of Perkins and others were not good, but no one had the idea of explaining.

Huo Ying's injuries were very serious. Although he awakened the Golden Zone at a critical moment to save his life, the recovery period was at least several months. He could not participate in the mid-season competition. Even if Tianjing Machine Martial stayed behind, they would have to face it with five people.

Compared to later, this battle was even more critical and difficult.

Ma Long put his arm around Musashi. He knew that this kid Musashi must be blaming himself, but now was not the time to comfort him. He did not expect that the little fatty Zuo Xiaotang was so fierce. Needless to say, he had shown his power in one battle. He was so fierce before entering the Red Pupil state. What would happen when he awakened? He had been thinking about hugging someone's thigh all day, but he had become the thigh himself.

"Class monitor, can Hao-ge win?"

Chao Qinglong was going to duel Li Hao. No one in Tianjing would believe this. It felt like they were from two completely different worlds.

"Class monitor, are we dreaming?" Ma Long asked.

"I wouldn't have you in my dreams." Zhou Nayi didn't want to pay attention to Ma Long. She didn't expect Huo Ying and Zuo Xiaotang to be so powerful. She had always thought that Li Hao chose Huo Ying and Zuo Xiaotang partly because he was familiar with them. It wasn't that Tianjing Machine Martial didn't have anyone to replace them.

When she arrived at the mid-season competition, she completely understood how accurate Li Hao's vision was. Huo Ying, who was always smiling, wasn't really happy. He wasn't a fool. Huo Ying was willing to contribute all his enthusiasm and will to this team. The moment he went up, Huo Ying had made all the preparations.

As for Zuo Xiaotang... he was a genius, a real genius. Li Hao often said this as a joke.

At this time, Li Hao, who was heading to the training ground, did not forget to turn around and smile at Zhou Nayi, signaling them to rest assured.

She first noticed Li Hao when she was a freshman, because Li Hao was late for class. Faced with the teacher's criticism, he smiled and nodded in apology. To be honest, her first impression was not good, but later she found that this person was very diligent. He was willing to do anything in the class, especially chores that no one else wanted to do, but he didn't have much presence in the class.

He was a bit carefree, and his grades... they weren't terrible, but he never failed.

Logically speaking, he should be an ordinary person, ordinary to the point of being ordinary, and lacking ambition, but Zhou Nayi could never ignore him. There was a strange feeling lingering around her.

Looking at Li Hao calmly facing Chao Qinglong, she understood what was worth fighting for in Tianjing.

That was the calmness that a man who had seen the scenery on the top of the mountain once had.

She and Musashi were the ones being taken care of.

"He will win, he will definitely win!" Zhou Nayi said. She had never been so confident as she was now.

"Musashi, cheer up. This is just the beginning. Our Tianjing is here to dominate!" Ma Long said.

Musashi also regained his composure. He had to get out of this self-entanglement. This kind of mental control was necessary. Huo Ying had really taught him a lesson. A real man, he learned!

"I think Chao Qinglong can end the battle within five minutes," Luo Dongsheng laughed.

"Two minutes at most!" Cang Gongtian's low voice sounded.

"Haha, Long-ge is just too nostalgic. Why bother with this kind of person? Li Hao was not good before, and he won't be good now. History proves that there is a reason why people are eliminated. This is fate." Luo Dongsheng curled his lips. "Apocalypse, Apocalypse, it's something that has been disbanded. I really don't know what's so great about it."

"Shut up." The ghostly voice of Milner sounded slightly gloomy.

Luo Dongsheng suddenly noticed that many people's eyes were focused on him, and their faces were unfriendly. Only then did he remember that Milner was also from Apocalypse, but of course he didn't care at all.

Humanity was as vast as the stars, and a mere Apocalypse was just a passerby. These weaklings liked to stick together for warmth.

"Milner, which side are you on? I think you guys are too cowardly." Cang Gongtian said lightly. In the hearts of the New Five Tigers, these old dragons should give way.

Milner took a deep look. "I hope you still have this much courage later."

Inside the training ground, Li Hao and Chao Qinglong had arrived at the center, facing each other. Chao Qinglong's eyes were calm. Yes, five years had passed, and he could now calmly face the person in front of him.

Suddenly, the door of the training ground opened, and soldiers appeared. A huge weapon rack was carried in, with various cold weapons placed on it.

"You can use anything you want." Lu Donglei's voice sounded.

To be honest, according to the information they had now, they were really a little unsure in their hearts. They had made such rapid progress, wouldn't NUP stand still?

Li Hao and Chao Qinglong did not look at the weapon rack. The aura of the two began to climb, especially Chao Qinglong. The huge aura began to spread continuously. It was the terrifying pressure like thousands of horses galloping, the terrifying aura of the number one person in the USE Federation.

"It seems you've made some progress after not seeing you for a few years. Let's see if you can win me this time." Li Hao laughed, still with that lazy look, making people feel that he always had a honey-like confidence.

"You are still so arrogant, but unfortunately Apocalypse is a thing of the past." Chao Qinglong's expression was serious, and his whole body exuded a wild killing aura.

"That depends on whether you can beat me. If you beat me, the past is the past. If you can't beat me, you will never get over it." Li Hao shook his head.

"Today is the end!" Chao Qinglong's voice became hoarse and low, as if it had touched his blood vessels.

While the two were talking, their mental power had already been substantively confronting each other, climbing alternately.

Ma Long sighed. It was a bit unreal. Was this Hao-ge, who liked to clean the dormitory the most? The one he was facing was Chao Qinglong. When did anyone dare to talk to Chao Qinglong like this?

The grievances between the two must be settled. If he didn't defeat Li Hao, Chao Qinglong couldn't move forward.

The glass of the training ground made a creaking sound, followed by cracks appearing, pa!

Accompanied by the explosion of the glass, Chao Qinglong disappeared with a bang. The next second, he had arrived in front of Li Hao, a straight punch in the low air. Li Hao took it head-on. As their fists and palms met, they made a puffing sound. Chao Qinglong used both his fists and feet, and a storm-like attack enveloped Li Hao. It was so fast that the human eye could only see afterimages.

Da da da da da da...

Chao Qinglong attacked with his fists and feet, chasing Li Hao and attacking wildly all the way. The sound of fists and kicks resounded continuously. Li Hao retreated while fighting, avoiding Chao Qinglong's wave of wild attacks.

Boom...

Chao Qinglong forcibly cut into Li Hao's opening with another straight punch. Li Hao spread his steps and directly grabbed Chao Qinglong's right fist, followed by stepping forward to launch an attack. At the same time, Chao Qinglong had already taken half a step first, leaning to the side and flicking up, directly kicking away Li Hao's center of gravity foot, flipping Li Hao up, followed by a heavy knee kick.

Qinglong inner bone windmill + Woxin kick!

Boom...
