That was a heart-rending scream. It was as if someone had held in their poop for a week, yet had constipation as they were allowed to defecate. Everyone in the Galaxy Aristocrats’ resting room turned to look at the source of the scream. They instantly saw Li Tianxing rush in with a twisted face.

Yin Tianzong knew that there would be a good show today once he saw his expression. He smiled and said, “Aiyo, isn’t this our runner-up Brother Tianxing? What? Are you planning to use your public powers to get revenge for a private grudge?”

His words were incredibly insulting. Especially his emphasis on the word “runner-up”. Everyone else around instantly covered their mouths and laughed discreetly. Some of them who were easily amused even turned around.

Li Tianxing was indeed the number one genius amongst the younger generation of the Galaxy Aristocrats. However, his weakness was his arrogance. He always looked down on others. Although the younger Galaxy Aristocrats appeared polite to him, they were still gloating over his misfortune now.

There was nothing he could do. It was his own fault that he had insulted them previously.

“Cut the bullshit! Where’s Hong Dali?! I’ll kill him! Kill him!” Li Tianxing could not go away quietly now that he lost his precious chance. His handsome face was twisted now and filled with rage. His eyes were bloodshot.

“Brother Tianxing, you shouldn’t play if you can’t afford to lose.” Feng Wuhen, who previously lost to Li Tianxing, stepped forward. He smiled coldly. “You participated with a mecha that costs 600 million dollars to build and crushed everyone. Did anyone else say anything? Why are you the only one who can’t take the loss? What, does the championship belong to your house? You can take it at your will?”

Feng Wuhen and Li Tianxing previously had a cold relationship. It deteriorated significantly after what happened on Earth. Feng Wuhen did not win the championship, but neither did Li Tianxing. He felt exhilarated. When else could he mock and ridicule Li Tianxing?

“That’s right.” Yin Tianzong added on. “The rules of the Galaxy Alliance state that no Galaxy Aristocrats are allowed to take revenge on the champions. This is to promote and protect the goals for improvement through competition. Brother Tianxing, if you want to kill someone just because you lost, who will dare to enter this competition in the future? Who will dare to win? What’s the meaning of it all if nobody else except for Galaxy Aristocrats participates?”

Yin Tianzong’s words struck Li Tianxing’s weak spot.

It made sense too. The Galaxy Aristocrats already ruled over the Milky Way. If they went to stir up trouble just because they lost the championship, who could tolerate that? How would future competitions be held?

“I don’t care! I don’t have the time to care!” Li Tianxing yelled, “Where’s Hong Dali? I want to see Hong Dali! I want to see him!”

He was determined to meet Hong Dali. Everyone knew that he came from a powerful background. They all frowned.

To be honest, this was a difficult issue to settle.

Wasn’t the reason why so many Galaxy Aristocrats participated in this year’s Galaxy Super Mecha Wars to attract Sir Malone’s attention? Although it did not amount to any fruition, it was still an opportunity.

This Li Tianxing must have had a plan, seeing as he made such a huge investment. He probably contacted everyone beforehand. If he won the competition, Malone could bring him along. However, he was obliterated by Hong Dali. There was no way that the deal with Malone remained. He lost such an excellent opportunity. No wonder he was so angry and embarrassed.

In addition, the Li family behind Li Tianxing was very powerful. His father, Li Hanhong, was an Elder. His grandfather, Li Xuancheng, was the strongest one amongst the Five Kings. If he seriously caused a scene, those present would not be able to stop him.

Just then, Hong Dali exited his resting area!

“Eh, isn’t this Brother Tianxing? Where did my blast send you just now?” Hong Dali felt no sense of impending crisis. He smiled. “Actually, I kind of missed just now. My Space Crushing Cannon has some wormhole traits. I accidentally opened it a little too far. Aiyaya, I’m really sorry. If you care about the prize that much, I’ll give the champion’s prize to you. What’s it called? Oh ya, the Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass, that’s its name, right...”

Li Tianxing could no longer restrain himself. He leaped forward and grabbed Hong Dali by the collar!

Everyone tensed up as a fight looked imminent. Tang Muxin panicked as someone laid hands on Hong Dali. She was about the activate her powers but was stopped by Hong Dali.

Hong Dali was nonchalant. He tilted his head and looked at Li Tianxing with innocent eyes. He said, “What are you doing? Let go!”

“No!” Li Tianxing gritted his teeth. “You stole my championship. I’ll kill you! Kill you!”

“It’s just the Azure Root Bones-Forging Grass.” Hong Dali sniffed. “You still want it? If you want it, just say it! How could I know if you don’t tell me you want it? Although you’re looking at me with those sincere eyes, you still have to tell me that you want it. Do you really want it? Do you seriously want it? Could it be that you really want it?”

“...” Li Tianxing was speechless.

To be honest, he wanted to hack Hong Dali into pieces now. However, he could only pose and bluff. If they really fought, he would definitely get a solid beating. He still remembered the scene on the Glorious Planet, where he was destroyed by Hong Dali...

“You win. You win!” Li Tianxing was fuming with anger. If he stayed still, he would lose face now. If he made a move, he would lose the fight. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Everyone else around them was stunned too.

As the number one genius among the younger generation of the Galaxy Aristocrats, Li Tianxing did not move after being embarrassed by Hong Dali?! He could tolerate that?

Everyone became curious and softly discussed among themselves— action

“What’s going on? Li Tianxing didn’t make a move? If they really fought, nobody here can stop him, right?”

“Yea, he’s the number one genius, after all. His skills aren’t exaggerated. But why didn’t he make a move? This is the virtual world. If they really fought, he’ll only receive some verbal warning. However, he stopped himself?”

“Everything is so strange today. Whoever insulted him before would receive a light beating in real life, but an instant kill in the virtual world. What’s going on today?”

Nobody else understood. However, Yin Tianzong and Feng Wuhen understood the situation. They looked at each other and smiled.

In front of Hong Dali, Li Tianxing had never been on the winning end!

“Stop!” Luckily for Li Tianxing, an elderly voice sounded as he was being indecisive. “Laying your hands on the champion? Where are you manners!”

Everyone turned around. Li Tianxing’s father, Li Hanhong was here!

Li Hanhong walked over. He looked at Li Tianxing and sternly said, “Stop it right now. Do you expect me to teach you what to do next?!”

“Father, I...” Li Tianxing gritted his teeth and stared viciously at Hong Dali. He let go of his hands and quietly said, “I’m... sorry. It’s my fault. I was too impulsive.”

Li Tianxing lowered his head! Li Tianxing lowered his head to Hong Dali! The number one genius amongst the younger generation of Galaxy Aristocrats lowered his head to Hong Dali!

Was the universe about to explode? They must be dreaming!

“Oh, it’s fine.” Hong Dali was unconcerned. He still smiled. “In that case, I’ll go collect the prizes then. I heard that they prepared some cool prizes this time...”

He then dragged Tang Muxin and the rest along, and walked straight out.

“Alright, leave us alone now.” Li Hanhong waved his hands. He had the authority as an Elder. Soon, everyone walked out. Li Hanhong pulled Li Tianxing to sit down. Suddenly, he changed his expressions. “Look at yourself. How many times have I told you this? You must be patient. Do you understand what being patient means?”

“But, father.” Li Tianxing lowered his head like a defeated rooster. He gloomily said, “I lost such an amazing opportunity. I can’t let go of that no matter what. Then I had to apologize to Hong Dali just now. My face is gone now...”

“What good is face for?” Li Hanhong scorned. “Remember this. The one who has the last breath will have the last laugh! Face alone is useless. If you are powerful enough, you’ll naturally have face. If not, who would give you any face?!”

“But father, what should I do now?” Li Tianxing lost the opportunity of his life. He could not let go of that. It affected him greatly. He would not give up no matter what his father said.

Li Hanhong knew everything about his own son.

He smiled and said, “Just remember this. Revenge is a dish best served cold. This loss won’t matter in the long run. I felt sad too when you first lost. I wanted to skin him alive! However, I’ve had time to think about it. Since the results are out now, what good will any regret do us? What will change even if we killed him? The most important thing is that the accusation of killing a champion will be highly detrimental to us. It’s entirely meaningless!”

“That’s true.” Li Tianxing thought about the situation.

The results were out now. Even if he utilized the powers he held as a Galaxy Aristocrat to kill Hong Dali, so what? His opportunity was lost. It would do him no good to kill Hong Dali. He would be imprisoned for a few years just for temporary relief.

After all, an immoral act like killing a champion would be punished just like the act of deserting the army!

He was a deserter once. It had only been a few days since then. If he made another mistake, he would not be able to escape punishment, even with his father’s pleas.

“That’s why, you can’t be too impulsive. Did you forget about Sir Malone?” Li Hanhong smiled maliciously. Li Tianxing thought about it. He understood the meaning instantly!

“Father, are you saying that we should ask Sir Malone to end him?” Li Tianxing’s eyes lit up.

“That’s right.” Li Hanhong eerily said, “Sir Malone has a fetish. He’s not only a pervert. He loves to kill! He’ll kill any woman he fancies if she’s not a virgin! Now that Hong Dali won, we just have to arrange a meeting between Malone and Hong Dali’s team. Think about it, with the looks of those women in Hong Dali’s team...”

“Then, the High Noble will end him for us.” Li Tianxing understood. “No matter how hard Hong Dali struggles, he won’t be able to defeat the High Nobles!”
