Chapter 1 Worries Come True

Zhou Naiyi's worries came true. After Li Hao disappeared, the surrounding gazes became very dangerous, filled with eagerness. The Martians, the Titans, and the people from the space cities all seemed to be at a critical point. If they wanted to find someone to bully, it seemed Tianjing Mech was the easiest target. And at this moment, Li Hao had actually gone out. She even saw someone go to the door to see if Li Hao had gone far. What a bunch of dogs.

But what she didn't expect was that the first to make trouble was someone from the Eternal Battle Team.

"I am Kal Galina of Eternal. All the top experts from various war zones have come to this exchange competition. I'm quite familiar with the others, but the folks from Tianjing are a bit unfamiliar. I wonder which expert would be willing to give some pointers?" Galina said with a smile, his eyes teasing, not taking Tianjing seriously at all in his smile.

The Tianjing Mech team fell silent. The excited Ma Long immediately shrank his head, and Zuo Xiaotang was even more cowardly. He was just a sniper, and he was nothing in terms of one-on-one combat.

With Li Hao and Cheng Konghai not around, the only ones who could hold the line were Musashi and Zhou Naiyi. However, Galina was a top expert in the Hundred Martial Arts Style and a champion member of last year's S-tournament. This...

"This, we'll have to wait for our captain to come back and decide," Zhou Naiyi said after thinking for a moment.

Galina burst out laughing and wagged his finger at Zhou Naiyi. "What's going on? We're just sparring. Aren't we here for an exchange competition? If you don't exchange in an exchange competition, do you have to ask someone else??? Are you too weak to show your faces, or do you think we from Eternal aren't worthy of sparring with you?"

Laughter erupted from the surroundings. Everyone was already paying attention to this side. In fact, everyone was curious about the situation of Tianjing Mech. Whether it was because of Li Hao or something else, everyone wanted to know what happened to Li Ritian of the past, the current Li Hao, and his teammates.

After all, they couldn't always rely on past achievements. Those present had naturally seen the battle between Li Hao and Romero. There wasn't much to it. Romero only used Burning Will to test the waters.

They had thought of various situations, but they never expected the people from Tianjing to be so cowardly?

"Is it Tianjing Mech or Tianjing Kindergarten? Do you have to ask an adult for everything, haha."

"If you're afraid of losing to Eternal, you can also find us from the Chain Armed Forces," Ji Yuguang said with a smile. "If you don't dare choose me, choose anyone from my team. We're not picky."

Su Yu and A Youyou also didn't expect that they would bring such trouble to Tianjing Mech. The same situation wouldn't have happened if they had chosen Eternal or the Martian team. Tianjing Mech really didn't have much deterrent power.

Zhou Naiyi and the others were directly cornered. Everyone else was watching, as if watching a joke. In all the exchange competitions, they couldn't wait to spar with the strong, but they never expected there would be those who were afraid.

Zhou Naiyi also knew that she had made a big mistake. Just as she was about to step forward, Musashi stepped forward, "Galina, let's spar. I've long heard that you're the number one swordsman in the Hundred Martial Arts Style. It just so happens that I also use a sword."

The Hundred Martial Arts Style was known for its in-depth research into various hot and cold weapons from ancient times to the present in the solar system. The Eternal Battle Team was also based on the Hundred Martial Arts Style. Fan Liwei wasn't the number one in swordsmanship, so he occupied the position of vanguard.

Kal Galina smiled. "Li Hao is known as the king of one-on-one combat among the Seven Little Ancient Martial Arts. I've heard of your small name for a long time. Let's see if you're just living up to your name!"

"Mech pilot one-on-one, or mecha, you choose!" Geng Ze said in a deep voice.

"Mech pilot, mecha is too troublesome, and it can't show Li Hao's skills," Galina said with a smile. It wasn't worth losing face to beat a disciple of Li Hao. As for the others, they were just a bunch of trash.

"Please!"

The arena was cleared, and Fan Liwei and Musashi entered the stage. There really wasn't a single weakling present. This wasn't just an internal matter for Earth. Outside, Musashi represented not just Li Hao, but Li Hao of USE.

Fan Liwei was the current number one swordsman of the Lunar Hundred Martial Arts Style, the vanguard of Eternal, and a key member of last year's championship team.

Musashi, a supernova from Earth, a disciple of Li Hao. The next generation of the Wu family's martial arts did indeed make everyone's eyes shine. It was unknown whether Musashi could continue Li Hao's legacy.

Judging from the international situation in the past two years, the lunar schools of martial arts were keeping up with the times faster and better. The ancient Li Hao clan of Earth still had the same old problems, sticking to old ways and insisting too much on the old ways. It couldn't be said to be wrong, but it felt like the direction of their efforts was a bit off. And the most stubborn of them was Li Hao. Not only were there very few disciples, but the time spent on building the foundation was also extremely long. Among the Seven Great Families, the Wu family was the most declining. If it hadn't been for Musashi, they probably would have been removed from the list.

And now, the emergence of the golden zone seemed to be further squeezing the ancient Li Hao clan. In the new era, were those ancient wills and spiritual practices still useful?

And what the people present were more concerned about was, as the vanguard chosen by Zhou Naiyi, what was the level of Li Hao's disciple? This could also reflect Zhou Naiyi's vision and situation.

What general, what soldier.

Musashi's gaze turned to Ophélie. Ophélie showed no expression, but she had already sensed the problem with Tianjing Mech. She just didn't know why Romero's people were making a move, and why they were so obviously squeezing Tianjing. It seemed they wanted to drive Tianjing away. Based on the current situation, he had no need to do that at all.

Hailong's conditions were definitely top-notch. There were top experts all around, and no protection was needed. Even Sheng Man and the others were watching from the sidelines. With so many people around, there was nothing to worry about.

Musashi and Galina each chose a K23 titanium alloy sword. The Hailong armory didn't just have titanium alloy swords. There were all kinds of weapons, covering the traditions and new styles of the four major federations, with detailed models, everything was available. Of course, it wasn't just Hailong. S-class academies like Eternal and Galaxy also enjoyed the best resources in the solar system, in addition to the federal government's high allocation of funds, there were also various exaggerated donations from alumni.

A scan of the personal terminal, and the required weapon was directly transmitted from the armory.

Musashi chose a standard model titanium alloy sword, while Galina chose an ordinary model. The blade of the titanium alloy sword was wider and longer.

The two stood still, and at the same time as they gripped their swords, their mental strength activated the K23. The titanium alloy sword hummed. Compared to Musashi's solemn expression, Galina's expression was relaxed.

Galina and Dumeira were on one side, and Anlita and Basta also arrived. The last to arrive were Tita and A Youyou, accompanied by Ji Yuguang and Li Xiangshan.

"The outcome is already decided," Romero said as he walked over.

"Why did they start fighting?" Tita said with a smile.

"See how the level of USE is, and also help Arths check things out," Romero said faintly.

Tita and the others were a little strange, but Anlita smiled, looked at the handsome Fan Liwei, and then glanced at Arths. Obviously, this proud Heavenly King was dissatisfied that Arths had chosen Tianjing Mech.

As a former comrade-in-arms who later won the S-tournament championship, Romero's internal rating within Shadow Sentinel was also quite high, not just for personal strength, but also for his deep mind. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach the champion's position. But he didn't expect that Arths would directly break his defense. It could only be said that heroes have a hard time resisting the charms of a beauty.

"It doesn't seem to have started yet, right?" Arths said with a slight smile.

"Yeah, after all, he's Li Hao's disciple, who knows," Ji Yuguang said with a charming smile.

Also a beauty, but Romero had no interest in Ji Yuguang. He knew that Ji Yuguang was deliberately stirring things up. How could she not see the gap between the two? However, Romero also realized that he had lost his composure. There was no need for him to say that at his position.

"Musashi naturally has unique skills, but his movements are obviously too tight. Miss Arths can pay attention to the mental state of the two people. Galina's composure is higher. Musashi has talent, but lacks real experience."

Romero talked eloquently, and gradually regained his charm and composure. At the beginning, it was because of thoughts and emotional excitement that he lacked performance. Once he calmed down, it was different. Excellent men would not hate women who lost their composure in front of them.

Dumeira glanced over, then looked at Galina beside her with some strangeness, "How could it be so bad?"

Galina was also a little surprised. What were these people from Tianjing Mech? And they were still called Li Hao's people?

Experts could tell the difference at a glance. The momentum that Musashi showed was simply... Forget it, it was obvious that he hadn't experienced any big battles. Was he always training behind closed doors, a hothouse flower? XXS

Anlita and Basta both frowned. What was going on?

Musashi was leading such a bunch of trash, and they still wanted to compete with them? Behind them was still Xi Weian with his full team. Even if he wanted to fight seven at once, the rules wouldn't allow it!

It wasn't the Age of Revelation anymore. After the battle with Anlita, Zhou Naiyi's strength had already been revealed. She was strong, very strong, but just one Anlita already had a certain chance. How far could such Tianjing go?

Everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts. The two people in the arena had already made their moves. Musashi pressed down his center of gravity and launched the first attack. The titanium alloy sword in his hand directly attacked Galina. He immediately used the Three-Blade Rapid Slash. Galina didn't draw his sword, dodged two slashes, and sidestepped to avoid the third slash. At the same time, he kicked out. Musashi pulled away, and with a bang, he suddenly advanced again, stabbing with his sword. Dong!

Galina suddenly flashed out a slash. Accompanied by a loud noise, Musashi's body shook. He thought something was wrong, boom.

A strange force attacked. Just as he blocked the first wave, a second wave of internal shock force came from nowhere, directly collapsing him. Musashi was kicked backwards, and his vision blurred. A flash of sword light. It was completely an instinctive backhand sword block, but his leg suffered a heavy blow. His body staggered, and Galina had already jumped up and performed a knee strike. Musashi was not afraid at all. He lifted his aura and wanted to withstand the blow, completely blocking the first wave. Then, another sudden wave of internal shock force directly sent Musashi rolling on the ground.

The audience burst into laughter.

From the beginning, no one thought that Musashi could win against Galina, but no one expected the gap to be so vast. Not everyone had the judgment of Romero, Anlita, and others, but with this test, the gap appeared.

Huo Ying, Ma Long, and the others' eyes were about to pop out. Musashi was their mainstay, number seven weak point. In the mid-season, they might have been given some leeway, but Musashi had earned it solidly. He dared to fight and dare to拼搏，how could it be like this? Was this the vanguard of the champion team?
