Chapter 3 The next one

The third challenger was Theron, the lawful son of the Aula Empire of Hellaweis. His opponent was a warrior from the Silver Heart Merchant Alliance. At the beginning of the battle, he immediately used his full speed in actual combat, preparing to catch Theron off guard. As a result, he was directly blown away by Theron's super burst Aula without discrimination and was carried away.

Aula is at a great disadvantage in a one-on-one fight, but it also depends on who you are comparing with.

Ning Long is the host of the Dragon League Martial Arts Competition. She inadvertently exchanged a look with De Faltandis offstage. De Faltandis stood up and walked onto the stage. Suddenly, the audience was energized. All along, under the Nine Holy Lights, they had been the challenged. Finally, someone took the initiative to make a move.

"Ganimedes, I have long admired the Dirac family as a family of sword saints inherited from the Galaxy Era. I heard that your holy sword has been retrieved. On this grand occasion, I would like to learn from you." Hirian smiled.

Ganimedes stood up without hesitation. He expected that he would be strongly challenged today. The family had also considered whether they should not appear, so that they could at least be foolproof. However, as a family of sword saints, especially in this situation, the dignity of the Ozier Empire and the dignity of the family must be defended with the sword. Otherwise, outsiders would think that there was no one left in Ozier.

The Dragon League Martial Arts Competition began to enter its climax. Ganimedes from the Dirac family and De Faltandis from the Cthulhu family had a focus duel in the Dragon League. The two were the main candidates for Her Royal Highness the Princess's coronation knight. It could be seen that the empire had not yet made a decision, and this decision could be made at any time. Therefore, De Faltandis took the initiative to attack. Hirian was not a person who would sit still and wait for death. He and Ganimedes would have a battle. Since this was the case, they would increase the stakes.

This battle was conducted under the witness of one Emperor, two Emperors, five Dragons, and many top Dragon League experts.

Everyone had arrived. Although it was just a Dragon League Martial Arts Competition, everyone knew the meaning behind it. The result of this battle would also greatly affect the Ozier Shylada High Priest's judgment. After all, the empire, which advocates martial power, would never allow a loser to serve as Her Royal Highness the Princess's coronation knight. Even from Ganimedes's standpoint, he could not refuse. A timid person was not worthy. Of course, not just anyone could challenge the last trump card of the younger generation of the Ozier Empire. De Faltandis was one of the few who had the qualifications to challenge.

Ganimedes did not care whether he became a coronation knight, but he had to defend the honor of the Ozier Empire. As the country that was once the origin of the Celestial Race, as a result, only one of the young generation leaders of the Dragon League was on the list of 17 powerhouses, and he was not even in the first tier. On one side was the Empress's coronation of the awakened super divine weapon, and on the other side were various discussions from various countries behind the scenes. Ozier urgently needed to prove its national power. In addition, they were fighting on their home turf, so they certainly hoped to change this situation. Therefore, in the past few days, Dragon League members from Ozier had launched challenges to the Nine Holy Lights and the Five Dragons, including Helena and others, hoping to replace them. It was just that they had more enthusiasm than results, which was really miserable. In particular, Helena, who possessed an Emperor weapon, still lost to Olon Qiyun.

Helena was a bit overconfident. It might not have been a loss to find someone from the Nine Holy Lights, but it would not have been so ugly. However, the problem was that if she lost to a race other than the Celestial Race, her life would be even more difficult. Perhaps it was because of this consideration that she chose the Dragon Race. At least everyone who encountered the Dragon Race would lose.

If it had not reached this point, Helena would never have approached Li Hao. She knew in her heart that the Judgement had lost face, but she had to hold on, even if it meant dying.

De Faltandis's challenge did disrupt Ozier's plan and put the Ozier Empire in a dead corner. The outcome of this battle was crucial. Ganimedes was the last fig leaf and must not lose.

Inside the Special Warfare Center, 50% of the thousands of people in the circular auditorium were Dragon League members from various Ozier Empire hymns, and they were also the elite force that would support the Ozier Empire's decades of glory in the future. The remaining people were top experts from other civilizations who were participating in the Empress's coronation this time. For Ozier, it was definitely a home game. The atmosphere of the Ozier Empire warriors at the scene was maxed out. The results of the challenges in the past few days were very poor, and now it was up to Ganimedes to save their face.

Ganimedes's goal was definitely the Five Dragons, or even one Emperor and two Emperors, but definitely not De Faltandis. De Faltandis was indeed a very good touchstone.

The Dark Night Prince Teng Mi, the lawful son of Aula, Theron, and the White Rose Falantis were together, and it could be seen that they had a good relationship and similar identities. Yejia, Thomas, and Dekai were together. The orc Sevan Wolfhound stood alone in a space, and the surroundings were empty. Orcs were always unpopular at the high level.

"What the hell is that bald cape man?" Theron was there. He was the Hellaweis from Gemini. He had been sulking all night and had not slept. He was simply driven crazy. Gemini was a necessary task for the soul refining of top experts from various races. Basically, those who reached a certain level of strength and potential would be summoned. Now it was all over, and no one could play anymore.

"You have to ask Emperor Ye about this. Among us, her cultivation is the highest, and she should know something." Falantis smiled slightly. "Teng Mi, aren't you very familiar with Emperor Ye? Why don't you ask her?"

The Ghost Prince Teng Mi had already materialized. The materialized Ghost Race men and women all had an unreal beauty, but compared to Falantis, they were still a little less real and fleshy. Everyone had to admit that in terms of beauty, Falantis could be called the ceiling of the Celestial Race.

"Considering your face, I don't think Emperor Ye will beat you to death if you ask." Teng Mi said indifferently.

Falantis smiled slightly and was not angry. "My goal is not Emperor Ye."

Teng Mi and Theron looked at each other and smiled. No one would take it seriously. This kid Falantis had ulterior motives and was clearly aiming at Princess Hermia. But then again, who wasn't?

The two people on the stage were currently the closest to the princess. They couldn't sit still and started fighting. But who would have the last laugh was still unknown. The Ozier Empire had not given a candidate, wasn't it just waiting?

The powerful Chronicle Shield granted by the Eternal Crystal could give both sides of the battle plenty of room to display their skills, even if they reached the Chronicle Gang level.

Hirian was not an impulsive person, but the recent series of events and Shylada's indecision made him feel a little uneasy. He had to take action to change the situation. If he defeated Ganimedes beautifully, or even the Dragon Race, he did not believe that anyone would be more suitable than him.

Thunder Emperor Spanor and Ice Emperor Trossi were not surprised by these two. Sooner or later, they would have to decide the winner. "Junior Sister, are you still angry? Which sect is that bald cape man from? To be able to crack Gemini, it must be one of the Three Sects or the Dragon Race. There is no way anyone else can do it."

"Could it be a Fallen?"

"It is unlikely that a Fallen would be so high-profile in the Dragon League."

Yekaterina did not speak and was looking for something in the crowd.

Spanor did not provoke his junior sister and greeted Ning Long and the others. "Ji Tian, it has been a few years. You haven't grown much." Spanor teased.

Ji Tian's face froze. "I will hammer you down a bit later, and we will be the same."

Spanor laughed. "Your temper hasn't changed at all. You are still so serious. Old Ying, which one do you like?"

Ying Hong and Spanor were old rivals. They had won and lost against each other, but the last time was two years ago. This time, they would have to compete again.

"De Faltandis."

"Oh, I heard that Ganimedes's Emperor weapon has been retrieved. You are still so optimistic about De Faltandis?"

"You Celestials are always overly obsessed with the power of Emperor weapons and ignore the essence of the soul." Qiyun smiled.

Spanor smiled without saying a word. "Power is power. The Dragon Race doesn't necessarily understand much about the soul."

"Okay, you are not the main characters." Ning Long interrupted the verbal battle between the two sides.

De Faltandis and Ganimedes on the stage had already entered a fierce battle. Ganimedes did not hold back and directly revealed his Emperor weapon, Dirge of Death. The powerful power brought by the Emperor weapon suppressed De Faltandis. Ganimedes released his Chronicle force as much as he wanted. He used only Heavenly Martial Arts, but his swordsmanship was unique and very exquisite. At least Ganimedes, who was known for his swordsmanship, did not gain any advantage.

Both sides were still at the peak of the Chronicle Storm level, but neither of them had activated the power of the Star Ring.

The people present also knew that this only meant that both sides had definitely reached the Chronicle Gang level. If the special power of the Star Ring was activated with the power of the Chronicle Storm level, it would only remind the other party.

From the perspective of the growth stage, if one could not reach the Chronicle Gang level in this Dragon League Martial Arts Competition, they would definitely be replaced.

Helena and Lavitan were together, and Helena was still very worried.

Ganimedes did not have the advantage on the field. He saw Ning Long, Spanor, and others talking and laughing as if nothing was happening. The two people felt all kinds of mixed feelings in their hearts. This also meant that such power was not worth seeing in the eyes of these people. However, this was already the ceiling for the two of them. It was strange to say that after Emperor Augustus the Great left, not only was he gone, but it seemed that he had taken away the millennium of luck of the Ozier Empire. Usually, they did not feel it when they closed the door, but as soon as the Dragon League Martial Arts Competition came, the gap immediately began to show.

Now, everything depended on Ganimedes, but with a loud bang, a Chronicle force wave exploded, and Ganimedes had been blown away.

Hirian retracted the sword in his hand. "Ganimedes, your sword is very good, but you have not understood the essence of swordsmanship."

When Hirian was on the moon, he inherited the essence of Human New Martial Arts. After experiencing a major setback in his life, he was reborn into the Cthulhu family. The Cthulhu was an ancient family that was good at soul cultivation. The combination of the two, coupled with the valuable experience of soul transfer, created Hirian's talent that completely surpassed those around him. Don't look at him being a little cowardly when facing Li Hao, but he was really not afraid of any other opponent.

In his eyes, this kind of swordsmanship of the Celestials could not be said to be trash, but it could also be classified as such. However, he was a low-key person and would not show it off usually.

Ganimedes was actually full of confidence. He thought that after experiencing a major setback, he had been working hard and enduring hardships. In addition, with the return of the Emperor weapon, it seemed that fate was on his side. However, this slash just now made him experience a different taste.

Ganimedes did not hide anymore. With the crazy increase of Chronicle force, Chronicle force radiated, entering the Chronicle Gang level. Once he entered the Chronicle Gang level, the use of the Emperor weapon would be upgraded to another level.

Helena was envious. Although her soul strength had not reached its limit, she had tried to break through to the Chronicle Gang level twice, but both times had failed. Then, she did not dare to try again.

For those talented powerhouses, it would slow down their time to enter the Chronicle Gang level in order to obtain more abilities from the Star Realm at the best age and the stage with the best soul activity potential. Once they entered the Chronicle Gang level, this opportunity would be greatly reduced. However, everything had a cut-off point. After that battle, Ganimedes always felt that he was missing something. In the end, he decided to break through to the Chronicle Gang level. He succeeded in breaking through to the Chronicle Gang level in one fell swoop. This was also the reason why the outside world was so confident in him. After all, the Chronicle Gang level was something that the vast majority of hymn warriors could only hope for but not reach.

Most of the Dragon League warriors present showed envious expressions. Ma Long, Gaia, and Zuo Xiaotang were also there. These days, only when the Dragon League Martial Arts Competition was opened did they mix in to feast their eyes and feel the strong impact of the Chronicle Gang level. Ma Long was really envious. How could he have such ability in his eight lifetimes? However, due to his limited talent, he did not put pressure on himself. "Brother Zuo, it still depends on you."

Zuo Xiaotang waved his hand. "It is better to look at Brother Hao than to look at me."

Gaia smiled. "Brother Hao is not someone I can speculate about." He had also entered the Star Realm. Only when he reached the Star Realm did he feel the vastness of the universe even more. Originally, he could still catch up with Helena and Lavitan, but at the level of the Nine Holy Lights, he knew that it was okay to work hard, but it was all the same. It seemed that the glory of Rastaya would be left for his son to inherit, or he would marry into one of them.

Ma Long and Zuo Xiaotang had great confidence in Li Hao, but the shadow of Massa was still there. The threat of the Chronicle Gang level was too great. Moreover, Li Hao had said last time that it was just good luck, and that another time might cost him his life. They had not figured out the matter of the S-level mission yet.

The two Earthlings deeply felt the impact of the powerful soul power from alien civilizations, and that Emperor weapon was simply amazing.

Looking at the powerful Chronicle force released by Ganimedes, Hirian's mouth curled into an arrogant sneer. He was still using the Chronicle Storm level power and put on a posture of going all out.

Ganimedes looked at the opponent in front of him, who was motionless under his Chronicle Gang level pressure. Obviously, the other party had also reached such a realm, but he was still unwilling to take out such power. How much did he look down on himself?

The Emperor weapon in his hand frantically released power, and his hands tightly held it. If De Faltandis only had such power, he would cut the opponent in half with one slash.

De Faltandis also held his sword, sheathed it, and stared coldly at his opponent.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified. The Cthulhu family was good at soul techniques and frost power, but De Faltandis was indeed an alternative. He actually gained an advantage in swordsmanship against Dirac, who specialized in it.

The Dragon League members present were all staring at this scene. In this battle, either De Faltandis would pretend to be cool and be beaten to death, or he would become famous in one battle and cause a sensation in the Dragon League.

Ganimedes's body was burning with Chronicle fire. After entering the Chronicle Gang level, his Chronicle fire also reached the Azure realm, the peak of the second-order Chronicle fire. However, what was more interesting was that De Faltandis did not use frost power to fight against it. He was still very confident in his swordsmanship.

The Dragon League members present were all staring at this scene. In this battle, either De Faltandis would pretend to be cool and be beaten to death, or he would become famous in one battle and cause a sensation in the Dragon League.

Ganimedes's Dirac Starry Sky Flame Slash was released. The sky was filled with blue flames like starlight falling, and the brilliant stars covered the entire space. At the same time, De Faltandis also made a move, and the sword in his hand buzzed.

One-Dimensional Draw Cut! Buzz~~

With a deafening roar, the Chronicle force shield of the entire martial arts field was shaking. Then, the power of the flame exploded like a nuclear explosion. After a long while, the aura calmed down.

Everyone's eyes widened. The Chronicle Gang level force crushed the Chronicle Storm level force. However, there was no second Chronicle Gang level force in the collision just now. In the Celestial world, the Chronicle Gang level crushed the Chronicle Storm level. Any skill was useless.

What's more, Ganimedes had an Emperor weapon. The Dragon League warriors of the Ozier Empire present all widened their eyes. However, after the Chronicle fire dissipated, the audience was in an uproar.

Ganimedes had already fainted. The person standing was actually De Faltandis, and he didn't seem to be injured much. For a time, all the Dragon League warriors in the arena were silent. De Faltandis still had a calm face and turned to look around. Not only were the Dragon League warriors of the Ozier Empire incredulous, but the top tier ones were also quite strange.

If De Faltandis had defeated Ganimedes with the same Chronicle Gang level force, it wouldn't be strange. However, the opponent had used the Emperor weapon and been promoted to the Chronicle Gang level. How did De Faltandis do it?

Ning Long had been with De Faltandis for a long time. She knew that this man was extraordinary, but his maturity was also different from his peers. He had great ambitions, so he usually didn't bother to care about such things. It was the same for Hausen, and it was the same for others. Unless there was a necessary opportunity to show it, he would never fight for such a thing. However, she never expected that he had actually reached this point. Ying Hong and the others also had slight changes in their expressions, especially Star Dragon Ji Yao, who looked at De Faltandis with different eyes.

Hirian had already reached the Chronicle Gang level. He had used it when he summoned the super divine weapon last time. However, summoning the super divine weapon had little to do with soul strength, but it had to do with the essence of the soul. On the contrary, it made him even more fearful of Li Hao, because in his heart, Li Hao was a schemer.

Spanor and Trossi looked at each other, and they obviously saw the doubts in each other's eyes. What means did he use? Cthulhu's Dream Technique, but how did he use it and when did he use it? Obviously, the two sides did not fight head-on. To be precise, De Faltandis did not give his opponent a chance to fight.

For a time, the aura of the Ozier Empire had completely fallen. Ganimedes, whom they had placed high hopes on, had been severely injured. This was a bit of a complete defeat. Soul techniques were Cthulhu's specialty, but it was quite difficult to use them. This De Faltandis was a bit different. But in any case, De Faltandis could be considered to have truly shocked the Star Realm in one battle.

Zuo Xiaotang and Ma Long knew who was inside De Faltandis's body. With Hirian's talent, coupled with the characteristics of the Cthulhu, and after so many years of forbearance, it was terrifying to even think about how strong his power had become. It was the clarity of humans, the ability of the Celestials, and the support of some unknown forces. No wonder Li Hao had told them to be careful of Hirian and not to provoke him.

Zuo Xiaotang could see more clearly. He was a rare Soul Eater, and his insight was getting stronger and stronger as his soul grew. In fact, during the battle between Hirian and Ganimedes, he had already interfered with and controlled Ganimedes's soul. It was possible that he had used some kind of illusion. However, the Emperor weapon did not produce such a defense. As for the Chronicle Gang level power later, it did not hit at all. It was completely Hirian's intention to create momentum. Of course, the premise was that Hirian himself had stronger power, which was a suppression in itself. It was just that he had chosen a more sensational way.

Mysterious and unfathomable, such pressure was given to the Ozier side. In the selection of the coronation knight, Ganimedes must have been eliminated. This time, it was not a narrow defeat, but a crushing defeat. There was no way he would be given a chance again.

From the beginning of the Dragon League Martial Arts Competition, De Faltandis had become the biggest winner. However, the Ozier Empire was miserable. The Ozier warriors were dejected and listened to the discussions of people from other countries around them. They really couldn't hold their heads up. The more such grand events were, the more intense the competition was. This time, they had really lost face at home.

Helena and Lavitan were a little anxious and a little helpless. The Empress was about to be crowned, and the Dragon League had lost like this. It was a bit too embarrassing. The two of them were particularly sensitive to the situation. This kind of loss might disrupt Hermia and Shylada's arrangements.

Li Hao and the others were watching when they looked up and saw Helena's serious and worried face. "Li Hao, can you still sit still!"

Helena sat down next to Li Hao with a plop. "It's over. Now it's completely over. Ganimedes's crushing defeat is equivalent to infinitely boosting De Faltandis's power. What should we do?"

Li Hao nodded. "It's normal. He can't beat him. The opponent does have something. But don't worry, the Martial Arts Competition has only just begun, right?"

After all, Hirian had been developing for such a long time. How could he not have something? He even felt that Hirian had been relatively kind to him all along because he could feel the threat of the golden cells. Being able to feel this was not an ordinary level of power. Helena shook her head. "To tell you the truth, the coronation knight can only be chosen from you or Ganimedes. Ganimedes is very suitable, but Her Highness the Princess said it must be you. The problem with you is that it may cause great controversy and bring you trouble. Therefore, we originally wanted to arrange a battle between you and Ganimedes at a suitable opportunity. After you win, the controversy will be reduced. But Ganimedes has now been defeated like this, so he has been eliminated. De Faltandis has become the best choice. You have to find a way to defeat De Faltandis."

Ning Long and the Dragon Race would not be so simple. The Dragon Race would use various means to carry out their intentions. Now they were leading. If they did not accept Li Hao's challenge, then there would really be no way. It was likely that the Dragon Race and Hirian had arranged a backup plan. As long as they did not want to, there would always be a way to refuse, and the reasons would be extremely sufficient.

Helena was worried. This situation was out of control. She had no control over the Dragon League at all. All of her plans had either failed or been disrupted. She felt that she was one step slower and one step wrong.

She had finally used the great righteousness of the country and the favor of finding the Emperor weapon to let Ganimedes win against others first, and then find a way to give it to Li Hao to win, but De Faltandis had taken it all away.

Li Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Helena really liked to worry unnecessarily.

He could understand Shylada's situation to some extent. The relationship between Ozier and the Dragon Race was very delicate. However, the Dragon Race's current actions were undoubtedly trying to control the Ozier Empire, especially by forcing De Faltandis on them. Even the current actions were clearly gradually controlling the Empress and interfering with the empire. Even without Li Hao's existence, Shylada would not allow this. The sensitivity of royal power was the same in any civilization. The Dragon Race had crossed the line too deeply. Perhaps the Dragon Race had been too used to its transcendent status for many years.

Of course, Ozier's current situation was not as strong as before. Otherwise, they would have been kicked out directly. However, Ozier also needed the help of the Dragon Race, and it was even necessary to form a certain degree of alliance with the Seventh Art. It was just a question of who controlled the rhythm.

The Dragon Race understood alliances and compromises.

What was even more unexpected was that Ganimedes would lose so badly. This was equivalent to having no room for maneuver. At that time, the Dragon Race and the Seventh Art would definitely find a way to stir up public opinion. At present, there was no one in the younger generation of Ozier who was qualified to be a coronation knight. If a weakling was allowed to be the coronation knight, then Ozier's tradition and arrogance of being a Galactic Empire, which it had always adhered to, would be wiped out. This was Ozier's pride all along.

Hirian came over to greet Helena with a smile. He had to win beautifully, but he didn't want Helena to harbor any resentment. On the road to cooperation with Ozier, Helena was also an important link. He was playing an open game, and he was using Ganimedes's situation of not being able to distinguish between the big and small kings. He had to say that the return of the Emperor weapon had made him a little inflated. Otherwise, if he calmed down, as long as he found a way to avoid the challenge, he could steadily win the coronation knight.

However, when he saw Li Hao, Hirian's eyes still moved slightly.

"Haha, Hirian, you fought well," Li Hao said with a smile. "It just so happens that we still have some scores to settle. Why don't we settle them today?"

After chatting with Kuta and Gaia yesterday, Li Hao understood the current dilemma of the Ozier Empire. That was, no matter what, the Ozier Empire was still the Ozier Empire and would not be controlled by the Dragon Race or anything else. Of course, in Shylada's position, she could not recklessly make it clear, which was equivalent to offending the Dragon Race and isolating the Ozier Empire. When the Empress ascended the throne, the empire also needed external support to consolidate and develop.

Humans had their difficulties, and Ozier also had to face the difficult challenges of Silverheart, the Seventh Art, and the Dragon Race.

Li Hao had been thinking about the affairs of the human side all this time, but he had neglected Hermia's difficulties. A Youyou wanted to say something several times, but she was interrupted by Hermia because she didn't want to make things difficult for him. She probably also felt that Li Hao had no good way.

Fortunately, Helena's personality was relatively straightforward. She was the first to be unable to hold back. Of course, Li Hao had to be the coronation knight. In all aspects, it was because he needed to be gilded, not because Shylada had concerns, but because he needed to be gilded.

This Hirian was really good at stealing chickens.

The eyes of the people around were focused here. After all, this was De Faltandis, who had just been in the limelight. They didn't know where the little kid who seemed to be familiar had come from. Was he trying to curry favor?

Hirian frowned slightly, then smiled slightly and spread his hands. "It seems that there is nothing for us to settle."

"How can there not be? You are really forgetful. Have you forgotten about the accident some time ago? I investigated it. Your captain spread the word everywhere, as if he was afraid that the pirates wouldn't target him. Tell me, is there any responsibility on your part?"

Hirian smiled and shook his head. "Then you can't blame me for that. You can only say that your strength is too weak. I am not a nanny."

Li Hao looked at Hirian indifferently. "You are really getting carried away. Playing word games with me? Then if I beat you to death, it's also because your strength is too weak. That slash just now was not bad. I will let you use one hand and give you a chance to turn the tables."

For a time, the surroundings were quiet, followed by a noisy discussion. Everyone was wondering who this person was, acting so pretentious. Even the Five Dragons had to be cautious about De Faltandis's performance just now. How could this person lightly challenge him?

What was letting him use one hand?

Soon everyone knew that this was a human, but he was very strong. He had defeated Hausen the Bone Grinder and made great contributions in suppressing the Bone Grinder rebellion. It was said that Ozier was preparing to award him a medal, and even the Ozier Empire was preparing to support and help the development of the Solar System because of this. It was no longer a secret that the Empress would establish diplomatic relations with the Solar System after she ascended the throne. All of this was because of the man in front of him.

However, Hausen Bone Grinder was nothing in the Star Realm. He was not at the same level as De Faltandis, especially the current De Faltandis. Just based on his arrogance, there would be nothing wrong with De Faltandis beating him to death.

However, Hirian did not react immediately. Instead, he stared at Li Hao. Li Hao was also looking at Hirian. The Cthulhu's soul talent had been reminding him that the person in front of him was very dangerous. This feeling was not likely to be wrong. This was why Hirian did not want to take risks in the absence of unnecessary conflict. Moreover, after a period of time, this feeling had even become clearer.

"Li Hao, do you think that little thing can threaten me, or do you think that you are great just because you survived Massa by luck?" Hirian said indifferently. His ultimate move was... playing dumb.

Now, not to mention other Dragon League warriors, the Five Dragons, the Two Emperors, and other Holy Lights were all watching with great interest. Hirian's appearance itself showed that the other party had something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense. Yekaterina's eyes flashed with doubt.

"Who is he?" Spanor and Trossi looked at each other. Where did this freak come from?

Li Hao knew what Hirian was saying. He didn't care about this little thing at all. With De Faltandis's failure, Hirian had become the hottest candidate for the coronation knight. What Helena said was definitely not groundless. This was definitely Hirian's plan. He was dreaming.

"Hirian, you are still so long-winded. Why are you still the same as before? Still so timid? This is the Dragon League Martial Arts Competition, not the Dragon League Verbal Fight." Li Hao spread his hands and said. He pressed on step by step against playing dumb.

Hirian's eyes were cold... He had just finished a battle. He looked relaxed, but the process of suppressing Ganimedes's soul was not as easy as it looked. It was not appropriate to fight Li Hao at this time, and there was no benefit. His goal had been completely achieved, and he did not want to cause any trouble.

Even if Li Hao was provoking him and he had full confidence, he would not take the risk. However, he couldn't say some things out loud, or he would appear timid.

Ning Long appeared. She always appeared at the right time. "Li Hao, De Faltandis has just finished a battle. According to the rules of the Dragon League Martial Arts Competition, he does not need to accept a series of challenges. Moreover, it is not fair. You are the Dragon Leader and should abide by the rules even more. Moreover, except for the Dragon Race, the Dragon League can directly challenge others, but there are also certain unwritten rules. If you want to challenge De Faltandis or other Nine Holy Lights, you need to fight a few matches first and accumulate some prestige."

In short, it meant that Li Hao's status was not worthy of challenging De Faltandis. He had to fight a few matches first to prove himself. Ning Long was obviously standing on Hirian's side.

From the moment the Dragon Race appeared, they always did things that were beneficial to themselves under the guise of upholding justice. They were trying to treat Li Hao as a reckless fool.

"Ning Long, you can't say that. When have the strong been afraid of this and that? Besides, those rules are all old news. Who would care? If he is tired, he can rest for a while. Li Hao is not trying to take advantage of him. Of course, not daring to accept the challenge is another matter." Helena realized that she had to strike while the iron was hot. Even if they didn't fight, she had to leave some room for maneuver.

Hirian looked at Helena indifferently. It seemed that the other party was not on the right track. Of course, Hirian was also clear about this, but the game was about gradually nibbling away at the other party and making them slowly give in. He could hold his breath and smiled slightly. "Helena, any battle must be equal, right? I don't discriminate against anyone, but I am not someone who can be challenged by anyone. If Li Hao wants to challenge me, he has to prove himself first."

Li Hao did not have much influence in the Star Realm and the Dragon League. De Faltandis was at least one of the Nine Holy Lights. Not just anyone could challenge him. In the Dragon League Martial Arts Competition, except for the Dragon Race, which could challenge without restrictions, the others actually depended on the wishes of both parties. Hirian was clearly saying that Li Hao was not worthy, and anyone in the Dragon League would agree with this. Li Hao really did not have much reputation.

Ning Long smiled slightly. "Li Hao, it is good that you have the idea of challenging, but you can also do it step by step. In the Dragon League Martial Arts Competition, only the Dragon Race can directly challenge."

Li Hao looked at Ning Long with a smile that was not a smile and at Hirian, who was looking smug. With the Dragon Race as a shield, Hirian could sit back and relax. He just wouldn't fight. He wanted to see what Li Hao could do.

This was their plan.

Looking at Ning Long's warm and gentle smile, he suddenly understood why Teacher Ma said that he couldn't distinguish between green tea. There was some truth to it.

The Dragon Race was really a piece of shit. In fact, thinking about it, the reason why the whole incident had become like this was because of the Dragon Race's support. Moreover, with the Dragon Race's strong influence, Ozier couldn't express their suffering. Thinking about it carefully, they had already reached the point of using various means to infiltrate the Ozier Empire and interfere with Hermia's marriage.

The crux of the problem was not De Faltandis, not anyone else, but completely on the Dragon Race!

Li Hao's eyes passed through Ning Long and fell on those Star Dragon who were looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.
