Fang Han was his guide to the Silver-blue super-planet. They felt like old friends at their first meeting. It was great news that he was learning swordsmanship from Uncle Eagle Eye.
Hong Dali was feeling happy when a shadow suddenly appeared next to him on the sofa. Hong Dali turned his head and looked. Who else could it be but Eagle Eye Mihawk?
“Eh? Uncle Eagle Eye, you’re back?” Hong Dali rushed to greet him. “I heard that you took in a new apprentice?”
“That dummy.” Eagle Eye took a sip of his drink and shrugged helplessly. “His talents are so-so. He wasted so much of my time trying to learn all the moves.”
Mister Gate at the side humphed. “You don’t say. You must remember what his foundations are like. You can’t be too demanding.”
A low voice suddenly sounded. “No, I feel like the demands on me are still too low.”
Hong Dali turned and saw that the person was tall and handsome. A warm and gentle smile was on his well-defined face. He was the first important man Hong Dali met in this place, Fang Han!
“Heh, Dali, you’re here.” Fang Han looked much more mature now. A gentle smile was seen on his face. He walked next to Dali. The first thing he said made Dali extremely touched. “My luck was pretty good, I managed to meet Master Eagle Eye. From now on, I’ll be able to stay by your side, instead of dragging you down.”
Fang Han, the mature and composed young man. He had been working hard since the Feiyun incident.
He treated Hong Dali as a true friend and a true brother. He did not want to drag Hong Dali down. He did not want Hong Dali to always protect him. He wanted to contribute and help Hong Dali. It was that simple.
Between men, many things did not need to be over-explained.
“Hehe, Big Brother Fang Han.” Hong Dali sniffled and smiled. “How’s your training? Don’t hesitate to ask if you need anything. I’ll arrange for everything that’s suitable for you.”
“Hm, now that you mention it, there are some things suitable for him. However, they’re not so easily attainable.” Uncle Eagle Eye said, “The Galaxy Super Mecha Wars is about to begin. The Main City-level Champion’s reward, the Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass, can greatly enhance a warriors’ bone structure. It’s a pretty decent thing. If you can, go get it.”
He just mentioned it in passing. However, Jiang Dongliu at the side took in a deep breath. He said loudly, “No way? The Galaxy Super Mecha Wars’ champion is rewarded with that? Aiya, that’s a great prize. It’s easily worth 50,000,000 dollars on the black market. The most crucial thing is that it’s extremely rare. You can’t even buy it with money.”
The Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass could be used to reforge the user’s bone structure. It could make the body flexible and, at the same time, enhance Strength, Agility, and Reflexes by fifty points each. These attributes should not be looked down upon. How many Blue- and Purple-Level Honorary Aristocrats were stuck at the 400+ attribute state. They were an inch away from being able to train for the Secrets of Dark Energy! However, their attribute points simply would not go up no matter what.
This Galaxy Super Mecha Wars would definitely be a dogfight. Everyone would be going solely for the champion’s prize!
“Oh? Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass? That’s indeed a decent reward.” Even White Beard Gate was impressed when he heard about the prize. “That bastard Ace is lacking a tiny bit of attribute points. Should I try it out…”
Jiang Dongliu shook his head. “Old man, who else stands a chance if you participate? You’re not even from our galaxy. How about this. If you register an identity in our galaxy, I’ll approve your request to participate!”
He had a great plan. If Gate really registered his identity in this galaxy, that would bring about a lot more value than one sample of the Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass.
“Old fox, you wish!” Gate humphed. “Forget it, I won’t fight with the younger generation over this stuff.” He looked at Hong Dali and touched his beard. He asked, “However, little rascal, this Galaxy Super Mecha Wars won’t be an ordinary competition. There are at least 600,000 teams participating. There are five people in one team, and the participating mechas must be powerful. Many Honorary Aristocrats and Galaxy Aristocrats will probably compete too because of the Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass. It won’t be easy to win the championship.”
He was not trying to scare Hong Dali.
The Galaxy Super Mecha Wars was entertaining, violent, and rewarding at the same time. As it satisfied the desire of the Milky Way inhabitants for entertainment, it also effectively raised the people’s battle skills. Therefore, every batch of Galaxy Super Mecha Wars guaranteed strong contests. Any team hoping for a spot amongst the Top 1000 could not be easily dealt with.
Especially for this batch, as the champion’s prize was the Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass. Even the Galaxy Aristocrats longed for it. After all, it was not something that money could buy. It was no joke.
Therefore, it was predictable that this year’s tournament would surely be extremely competitive!
“Oh.” Hong Dali touched his chin and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. The key thing is participation. We can just take the chance to speculate. I do have some mechas. Hm, Granzon, Valsion, Dragon Tiger King, The Dark Angel Astana Steel. Eh, that’s only four. If we include Geezer Wang’s Venerable Mecha, that’ll make five…”
Tang Muxin quietly reminded him from the side. “Dali, Master Wang’s mecha is not performing up to standard yet. I heard that he had not fully understood the Earth-Shattering and Sky Shocking Fist yet. He’s been busy researching that…”
If they did not have the Venerable Mecha, they would only have four and be short of one…
Who should they find for the last person?
Then, Li Nianwei quietly reminded him. “Young Master, should we call Qianxue?”
“That’s good!” Upon hearing Jiang Qianxue’s name, Jiang Dongliu interjected before Hong Dali could even reply. “My granddaughter is a genius when it comes to mechas. She will not drag you down if you ask her to come along!”
“Alright, done. It’s settled, then!” With Hong Dali’s answer, their roster for the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars was confirmed. Hong Dali’s Granzon, Valsion, Dragon Tiger King, and The Dark Angel Astana Steel, together with Jiang Qianxue’s The Snow Angel. That made five!
The roster was complete.
“Hmm, since it’s decided, I’ll head for my home first to inform Qianxue. “Jiang Dongliu opened a space portal. “Alright, young one, I wish you good luck. Hopefully, you won’t be too embarrassing. I heard that your Granzon is pretty strong. However, there will be plenty of powerful mechas. There’s the saying that there is always a higher mountain. Don’t think it’ll be so easy to win the championship.”
“Actually, I just wanted to join and play…” Hong Dali was a bit aggrieved. “I did not even think about the championship. I can just buy the Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass off of whoever wins the championship…”
…
Shenluo City, the Jiang Family’s Mansion.
“Father, you’re back.” Jiang Dongliu’s shadow came out of a portal appearing from thin air. Jiang Duxing instantly rushed forward. He smiled and said, “How was it? Were there any issues with the earthquake in the 77th district?”
“It’s fine.” Jiang Dongliu, dressed in a singlet and shorts, sat on the sofa. He smiled and shook his head. A sigh followed. He said, “Hai, I must learn to give in to my old age. I saw another interesting young person today. Compared to him, all the other Honorary Aristocrats are useless. They are all useless!”
“Ah? Do you mean that Hong Dali?” Jiang Dongliu had mentioned about Hong Dali to Jiang Duxing before.
Originally, he was only a mere Honorary Aristocrat. They were not big figures in the eyes of the Galaxy Aristocrats. However, this Hong Dali was different. He became the center of attention wherever he went. It almost seemed like the entire Milky Way revolved around him.
“Who else but him.” Jiang Dongliu smiled and said, “He’s extremely lucky. He managed to escape from an encounter with King Zergs. He looks like he’s completely unscathed too. His luck is indeed astonishing.”
Jiang Dongliu suddenly remembered something. He rushed to open a portal and took out the Health gem that Hong Dali gifted him. He said, “Look at what this is.”
“This is…” How could Jiang Duxing not recognize the jade-colored gem? It was emanating a gentle aura of life. He was instantly stunned. “A Health gem?! Oh my god! No wonder so many mutants appeared on Earth. It must be because of this good stuff. It won’t be difficult to sell this huge piece of gem for a few hundred million, right?”
“To be honest, I was kind of curious too.” Jiang Dongliu touched his chin and said, “This Hong Dali appears to be the true chosen son of god. Everything that he carries is worth a fortune. Let’s not even talk about the energy gems. How much physical and human resources did the Galaxy Aristocrats deploy just to look for the Health gems alone? In the end, we didn’t even find many. However, he gave a piece randomly to me like throwing the trash. Now I’m curious. What kind of place is his home planet? You see, it has Energy gems, Health gems, the grave of our clan’s genius, Mo Tianji. Who knows what else there is yet to be discovered. It’s a shame that it was conquered by the Zergs. There are countless Zergs, and even King Zergs are there now. There’s not much hope for us to even take a glimpse of it.”
It was no wonder he sighed. Who would not be curious about a place that produced so many good things?
It was a shame that the place was infested with ordinary Zergs, mutated Zergs, and King Zergs. Even with the Galaxy Aristocrats’ strength, it would be a suicide mission.
Of course, if only he knew about the appearance of the Golden Emperor Beetle…
“Nevermind, forget it.” Jiang Duxing smiled and said, “Father, please tell me first. What did Hong Dali do again? You seem shocked.”
“He, haha, you’ll probably laugh to death after hearing this.” Jiang Dongliu laughed and started telling the story.
Soon after, Jiang Duxing was completely stunned!
