Chapter 114 Developmental Stage?

The focus of the entire venue returned to Li Hao. He was the sniper of the team, but everyone knew that the sniper position wasn't essential. Many combat environments didn't require a sniper. Sufficient laser firepower would suffice. Snipers and heavy-armored soldiers were more of a substitute choice on USE's side unless they reached the S-grade.

"I'm working hard to improve," Li Hao said.

Rulden looked at Li Hao earnestly. "I hope you're not bragging. As the captain, you must have comprehensive combat capabilities to deal with various situations. Everyone knows about the recent situation in Tianjing. Li Hao, you bear a great responsibility. I just received the conditions for this year's mid-season training camp. The top twenty are directly selected, while the academies behind them will have two rounds of competition. Those ranked thirty to fifty only need to win one match to be selected, while we must win every match to qualify for the mid-season training camp."

The whole venue erupted in an uproar. Everyone knew the weight of the mid-season training camp. It could be said to be USE's internal mini-World Cup. If they couldn't even get into this, Tianjing would really be finished.

"Professor Rulden, I will work hard," Li Hao said earnestly. As a captain, Li Hao's attitude was always upright.

"Hopefully. Our opponents are Galileo Academy, ranked 45th, and Udir Academy, ranked 31st. I hope your confidence matches your strength." Rulden signaled Li Hao to sit down. In fact, a considerable number of people within the school didn't understand Long Dan Ni's approach.

At this moment, the huge open classroom exploded. "Professor, how were these opponents selected? It's too unfair!"

"Are you crazy? We're ranked 51st, and you're arranging two opponents with such high rankings, including Udir, who's 31st???"

"Which idiot did this? They're clearly bullying our Tianjing!"

Rulden knocked on the table. "The opponents were randomly selected. To forge iron, you still need to be strong. We can't choose our opponents, but we can make ourselves stronger."

The words sounded nice, but only the top ten academies were qualified to say them. Even the people of Tianjing knew that the current Tianjing team was really incomparable to its peak. Moreover, the team had just undergone a major reshuffle. Frankly speaking, some students still agreed. No destruction, no construction. But no matter what, they had to be given a chance to develop. Who would have thought that they would run into the reform.

Moreover, many people felt that Gao Yunfeng had experienced major competitions, and he was very strong in terms of experience and strength. He shouldn't be completely denied because of one match. Besides, even if he wasn't the captain, he was more than qualified to be a main player. Why wasn't he even a substitute? There couldn't be no controversy in the academy.

The sharp drop in ranking this time was largely due to this. Only Musashi was worth looking forward to, but a supernova wasn't something to be proud of. Every top academy had supernovas. This wasn't a big deal at all.

Although Rulden said it explicitly, he also questioned Li Hao's meaning, especially since he was bringing a few beauties to class. What was this about?

A happy occasion after passing the imperial examination?

Freedom of love was certain, but as the captain of the Tianjing team, shouldn't honor and responsibility come first?

"Our captain is living too comfortably."

"He's surrounded by beauties from the art and journalism departments. Does he even have the mind to train?"

"I heard that their training matches have been completely defeated, so much so that they are almost self-isolating. How can they still have such leisure?"

"It's over. How were these opponents assigned? Why are both of our opponents highly ranked? Is someone plotting against Tianjing?"

"Comparing people is infuriating, comparing goods is disposable. Have you heard? Zhao Qinglong even broke up with his girlfriend, just to abandon all distractions and fully prepare for the S-match to avenge USE. He's the leader of the Six Dragons, and he's still working so hard. Look at us..."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Find someone comparable. One is in the sky, one is on the ground. What's there to say? The strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker. I really feel like he's not as good as Gao Yunfeng."

…

Not to mention the team members present, even A Youyou felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to accompany Li Hao and learn more about life in USE, but it seemed to have had a bad effect.

"Senior, I'm sorry..." A Youyou felt that her auditing had caused trouble for Li Hao.

Li Hao chuckled, looked at A Youyou, and whispered, "Aiyo yo, when did you become so timid? I'm not someone who cares about what others think."

A Youyou looked at Li Hao and found that he really didn't blame her. She also lowered her head and whispered, "I think everyone has some misunderstandings about you."

Li Hao glanced at A Youyou. "Actually, it's not a misunderstanding."

A Youyou didn't react for a moment. Suddenly, a blush appeared on her face. She glared at Li Hao reproachfully. He was usually so wooden, but why was he being so clever at this time? "Are you confident? It sounds like those two teams are ranked much higher than Tianjing."

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Just play normally. Musashi and the others are very powerful."

"It's not them, you're the captain! The teacher even called you out!" A Youyou couldn't help but say.

"Aiyo yo, are you questioning your senior? I'm definitely the most powerful. They'll be gone as soon as I make a move!" Li Hao laughed.

"Do you know that armored leopard? It seems like everyone's been practicing it recently. My cousin is on a first-class team in NUP. They're all researching and practicing armored leopards, saying it's some kind of super assassin?" At this time, A Youyou wasn't afraid of being a little spy.

"I'm definitely the strongest," Li Hao said casually.

"Braggart, you just brag, hmph." A Youyou huffed her little nose.

Li Hao smiled and didn't care, but feeling the surrounding gazes, he stopped chatting.

Even Ma Long lowered his head and pretended to be a good baby. His "relationship" had been exposed. Although he was still good in the Starship Department, could he be better than Gao Yunfeng?

A class ended in a strange atmosphere. Ma Long and the others couldn't wait to slip out. Of course, there were those who didn't care, such as Huo Ying. This guy looked around with a proud expression, not feeling everyone's doubts and dissatisfaction at all. Everyone must be paying attention to me because I'm handsome!

However, before everyone could leave, the school affairs teacher came. The principal summoned them.

The six of them arrived at the principal's office. With this sudden change, Long Dan Ni felt targeted. She didn't believe that such opponents were coincidental, but overall, it was within the rules. She couldn't find any fault with it. Apart from the top twenty military schools that were guaranteed to advance, also known as first-class, the others were second-class and third-class. The mid-season training camp organizers said that the opponents were randomly selected. There was no use in questioning it. What she had to do now was to defeat these two opponents and obtain the qualifications for the mid-season training camp.

For the current Tianjing, Long Dan Ni had never doubted its potential, but it urgently needed time and a stage. Experience was also the team's weakness, and the mid-season training camp was crucial. At the same time, it could also expose them to the current top level of USE and broaden the team members' horizons. As someone who had been there, Long Dan Ni understood this very well. Some team members who hadn't seen big scenes would even experience nervous dizziness in the S-match. This was definitely not a joke.

Looking at the six people in front of her, Long Dan Ni still had a headache. Li Hao, Musashi, and Zhou Naiyi were qualified. Zuo Xiaotang was an X factor. This little fatty had a knack for curved shots, but this was just a trick. Once someone was prepared, it wouldn't be very threatening. Ma Long and Huo Ying... what were these two?

Li Hao liked to find teammates from people he knew too much. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was being nepotistic. Was there no one else in the huge Tianjing Mech and Martial? As far as she knew, there were several with characteristics in the Mech Department, and they weren't even on Gao Yunfeng's team.

The six of them stood up straight. The principal hadn't spoken for a long time, and they felt a lot of pressure. Even Huo Ying kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his mouth, being as honest as he could be.

"Li Hao, you should also know your opponents. Next Monday, the Galileo team will come to our academy for a final battle. We can wait for them to exhaust themselves. The Monday after that, we will go to Udir Academy to challenge them. You don't have much time left. What are your plans?" Long Dan Ni stared at Li Hao, this former boy genius. She didn't care about his personality or whether he followed the rules, as long as he didn't cross the bottom line. All she wanted was victory.

"Yes, Principal. We have been working hard to train and actively prepare for battle. No matter who our opponents are, we will do our best!" Li Hao raised his head, puffed out his chest, and raised his butt. His attitude was absolutely upright.

Long Dan Ni smiled, not knowing whether she was angry or what. This little brat was not old, but he was very good at saying platitudes, but there was no substance at all. But since she had chosen him, she had to give him trust. As a captain, prestige was crucial, otherwise the team wouldn't be able to lead.

"Have you considered expanding the substitute lineup? The mid-season match is for six people, but there is no limit to the number of substitutes during the selection. Currently, there is only one Ma Long. Is that enough?" Long Dan Ni said, putting everything else aside, she wanted to find a way to enter the centralized training first.

"Report, Principal, I think Ma Long alone is enough. This person is just lazy, there's nothing wrong with him other than that," Li Hao said loudly.

Ma Long's mouth twitched beside him. You little brat, are you praising me or scolding me?

"Report, Principal, I have been working very hard since joining the team!" Ma Long was not stupid. The person in front of him was the one who held the power of life and death over them.

Long Dan Ni smiled. "Our Tianjing Mech and Martial's campus heartthrob, he's quite handsome, not bad. I heard that the team's staff are all top beauties from our school?"

Ma Long's face darkened, but with his EQ, he knew he couldn't back down. "Principal, I don't think it's my fault that I'm handsome. This is discrimination. As a warrior, we should judge based on our performance on the battlefield!"

Bang…

Long Dan Ni knocked on the table. "Very good, remember what you said today. You represent Tianjing Mech and Martial now. Li Hao, I don't care how you lead the team, but what I want is victory, no matter who the opponent is, understand?"

"Yes, Principal, our goal at Tianjing Mech and Martial is only the championship!" Li Hao said with surging momentum. Zhou Naiyi and the others subconsciously distanced themselves from Li Hao.

Long Dan Ni couldn't help but frown, but she didn't want to discourage him. After all, all the military schools and students participating in the S-match really only had the championship in mind. This was an attitude.

What everyone yearned for was the position and glory of standing at the peak.

"Go, I look forward to your performance."

When employing people, don't doubt them, and when doubting people, don't employ them. In some ways, she felt that Li Hao's style was something she liked, but it would be better if he was more cautious. After all, the current Tianjing Mech and Martial couldn't afford to be messed with.

The six of them left. Ma Long breathed a sigh of relief. "MD, I almost suffocated. Who did I offend? Why am I being targeted like this? It seems like I have to show some performance, or I'm going to die."

At first, Ma Long joined with the intention of having fun and showing off, but now there was no room for that at all. It wasn't just him, every position on the team was in the spotlight. To be innocent of harboring a treasure invites envy. In this position, since they enjoyed the treatment and glory, they had to take responsibility. Gao Yunfeng was the same back then. They only saw the thief eating meat, but not the thief getting beaten.

"Should I talk to Sheng Man and the others and tell them to be more low-key recently?"

(Thanks to the Golden Alliance Leader "I want to become Zhao Gao step by step" for his support, mighty and magnificent, dominating the solar system! The monthly ticket event during the double period is still 20% away from being achieved. We will add five more chapters on top of the original amount upon completion. I admit, it was a little rash. The bottom of the pot in my manuscript is polished bright, and I'm working twelve hours a day during the National Day period. It's no big deal, I can handle it!!!)
