En, hearing Jiang Qianxue"s tone, Hong Dali understood.In terms of numbers, they had the upper hand.
But in this situation, numbers were not significant. What was significant was elites! Elites of the same level!
Li Tianxing"s family would most likely bring the strongest within the same level. If they went one against one, Jiang Qianxue"s side would definitely not be able to win them—otherwise, why would she be sulking?
Indeed, Yin Tianzong added, "The people that Li Tianxing is bringing are all very powerful. On the same rank, their strength is on another level—which means, their Purple-level Honorary Aristocrats" capability is comparable to our Black-level Honorary Aristocrats!"
Hearing that, everyone"s jaw dropped—this was new information!
It was not hard to understand. It was like in school. For example, this was a middle school. The Honorary Aristocrats were students in this cla.s.s. However, although in the same cla.s.s, there should be students who were not so good at learning, right? Hence, the students that Li Tianxing brought were top students, and Jiang Qianxue"s students were not as good.
"This seems tough…" Hong Dali frowned. "My teammates are a bunch of people that cannot be compared to others. Do I have to battle alone when I"m there?"
"Dali, I think this situation is not easy to handle." Jiang Qianxue was helpless. "However, you are my only good friend, I can"t think of anyone else that can help me. There is no hope in others, but maybe you will have a chance of winning."
En, that was true. Jiang Qianxue and Yin Tianzong did not have many friends. Even if they did, they would not be of much help at a time like this.
The only one they could rely on was Hong Dali—After all, Hong Dali was rather helpful. Otherwise, Both of them would not need to go into the trouble of coming to discuss this matter with Hong Dali.
Now that the matter was clear, Li Tianxing was prepared. The people he brought were the most powerful people under him. Due to the combined strength of the Li Family, represented by Li Xuancheng, the Honorary Aristocrats under them were much stronger than those under Jiang Qianxue.
And on Jiang Dongliu"s side, there was really no one they could send.
Although the Honorary Aristocrats under them were strong as well, they were incomparable to Li Tianxing"s.
"It seems we"re sure to get embarra.s.sed," Hong Dali said, depressed. "Is there anything else we need to take note of? Other than Li Tianxing"s family, is there anyone exceptionally impressive within those Honorary Aristocrats?"
"Exceptionally impressive?" Jiang Qianxue thought for a while and suddenly said, "Oh yes, I remember now. There is a very strong Honorary Aristocrat under Li Tianxing. I heard he had just returned. This person can be considered the strongest Honorary Aristocrat within the entire Milky Way."
"Ah?" Hong Dali stared with his eyes wide open. "The strongest Honorary Aristocrat? How strong is he?"
In normal circ.u.mstances, the impression was that Honorary Aristocrats were not as powerful as Galaxy Aristocrats. But after Jiang Qianxue explained to Hong Dali, the crowd did not think that way anymore—
"This person is one of the very rare geniuses among geniuses in the entire Milky Way," Jiang Qianxue said slowly. "His name is Li Haokong, a Black and White-level Double Honorary Aristocrat. He is only one step away from becoming a Galaxy Aristocrat!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I remember!" Yin Tianzong nodded his head vigorously. Li Haokong, formerly known as Arnold. Due to his outstanding performance, the Li Family had their eyes on him and gave him the name, Li Haokong. He jumped from a Red-level Honorary Aristocrat and became a Black and White-level Double Honorary Aristocrat in three years.
"Li Tianxing has always claimed to be the number one genius in the younger generation of the Galaxy Aristocrats." Jiang Qianxue said slowly. "But compared to Li Haokong, Li Tianxing is nothing. I heard from my grandfather that Li Tianxing, who has the Ice Soul Stone, was not able to take three moves when he fought with Li Haokong. At that time, Li Haokong was just an Energy User."
d.a.m.n! When everyone heard that, they were shocked.
This Li Haokong, the number one Honorary Aristocrat under the Li Family, Black and White-level Double Honorary Aristocrat, was so scary?! Li Tianxing, who claimed to the number one genius in the younger generation of the Galaxy Aristocrats, could not even take three moves from him?
"I knew things were not so easy!" Hong Dali said frantically. "A Black and White-level Double Honorary Aristocrat that Li Tianxing could not take moves against. In addition to that, a bunch of Honorary Aristocrats that are one level stronger than ours. What do you expect me to do?"
Everyone got worried.
Well, they just went through the motions. Anyway, Hong Dali did not care much about such rankings. However, this seemed obviously off course, and by quite a lot.
"Forget it, at a time like this, there"s no point worrying." Hong Dali rubbed his nose. "It doesn"t matter whether there"s one more or one less. We"ll see how it goes, then."
"En, Dali. We"re depending on you, then!" Jiang Qianxue said softly. "You, you have to do your best!"
"Don"t worry." Hong Dali nodded. "I"ll try my best." Jiang Qianxue and Yin Tianzong had both fought the Zergs on Earth with him. Such relations.h.i.+ps, it was hard not to help them when they were in trouble.
Since everyone had understood the situation and had a rough idea of their opponents, everyone set off.
The virtual world was convenient. They were able to teleport anywhere without traveling all over the world. It was not bad.
Soon, with a flash of white light, Hong Dali and the others arrived at the Advancement a.s.sessment venue.
This place was similar to ancient Europa churches on Earth and looked very solemn. The venue was very s.p.a.cious and the entire main square occupied at least a dozen square-kilometers. It was surrounded by guards. The atmosphere was a little depressing, similar to a place where prisoners were shot to death.
"This is the venue of the Advancement a.s.sessment?" Hong Dali asked as he walked. The situation was already so bad that to make it worse made no real difference. They would do whatever they could!
"En. This is it." After giving an affirmative answer, since Jiang Qianxue and Yin Tianzong had dragged Hong Dali here, they prepared to return to report. "Dali, lay low. We"ll go look for our families first."
"Sure, no problem." Hong Dali nodded.
As the Advancement a.s.sessment had begun, several groups of Honorary Aristocrats formed and talked among themselves in the hall.
At this moment, some people saw Hong Dali from afar and started discussing—
"Quickly look, Hong Dali has come."
"It"s over, the atmosphere for the Advancement a.s.sessment is not good. With this prodigal, we are sure to lose badly."
"Exactly, I was hoping he wouldn"t be here. It"s depressing now."
"Actually, I think it"s okay. Didn"t he take part in the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars and won? That should earn him quite a few points, right?"
"What do you know. He spent so much buying all types of businesses. Any one of them costs at least tens of millions! They were all losses. Even if he won 200 billion from the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars, the amount he spent on the Azure Root Bones-Forging Gra.s.s probably balanced it out! The Honorary Aristocrats that the other side brought are all business prodigies. They are sure to have a net profit rate of more than 400% each!"
"That"s true. Aye, we don"t even have one person that is ahead of them. To think Hong Dali is a Double Honorary Aristocrat. We will probably lose even more when we get to the martial arts stage later!"
"Aye, we"re out to embarra.s.s ourselves this time!"
The faint conversations could be heard by Hong Dali and others, but Hong Dali did not say anything. As a prodigal, it was natural to be ridiculed. He was indifferent about it.
This was how he was. He was usually indifferent towards negative comments about him.
The people around Hong Dali frowned slightly. It was not that they did not dare to stand up for him, but this was not the place to do it.
The tree stood still but the wind does not stop blowing. Hong Dali made Li Tianxing suffer quietly previously. It was obvious Li Tianxing would not let him off so easily. He might not be able to come personally, but that didn"t mean his underlings would not know what he was thinking.
Hence, there was fun to be had.
"Yo, is this the legendary prodigal, Honorary Aristocrat? Aiya, I"ve long heard of your name!" A few Honorary Aristocrats with yellow trench coats blocked the way. They glanced at Hong Dali, amused. Their words dripped with sarcasm.
These people appeared here at this time, Hong Dali could tell from their looks that they were Li Tianxing"s people here to provoke him.
To be safe, Hong Dali looked around before he pointed his finger at them, sniffled, and asked, "What are these idiots doing?"
Seeing that Hong Dali had finally gone up against Li Tianxing"s people, the people around crowded over.
They would be idiots to miss such a good show. If they did not gather to watch the fun, they would be missing out.
"Let me introduce." A deep voice was heard. Hong Dali turned around to see two people. The one on the left looked dark and mysterious. He was Aristocrat.Huaqing, who he had met once before. The other one had short, golden hair. He was the arrogant Aristocrat.Tianyi.
