Chapter 245

Recently, Bai Xiaoyu was naturally pleased to see the progress of the cubs. The dragon cubs were able to catch up, displaying excellent talent, strong comprehension, and learning abilities.

Whether it was the dragon clans or the bug tribe leaders, their combat skills were unquestionable. This was equally evident in their mech control.

The dragon cubs were happy to be arranged by White Papa to study mechs on the star network with two princes. Occasionally, they attended Big Black's classes. After completing each stage of the course, they easily cleared dozens of levels online.

In just a few days, they passed one hundred major levels. The opponents they encountered along the way were all easily dealt with, until someone encountered a worthy opponent.

At that time, the other little Blood Fury Tyrant Dragons were extremely envious and ran to watch the battle.

The battle was quite intense. The opponent's mech control skills were clearly well-trained. At first, the opponent suppressed the dragon cub, which almost caused the cub to fail. However, the dragon cub, under the daily loving care of the adult dragons, had maxed out their durability and dodging abilities. Their mech control was the same. Additionally, they were full of energy and grew stronger as the battle went on, excelling in close combat. They managed to exhaust the opponent.

Bai Qi had sent these people to intercept, but he didn’t expect such a situation the first time they encountered each other. At the same time, he faintly felt something was off. These cubs initially seemed like mech novices with obvious flaws, but when attacked, they were hard to take down. They seemed to have extraordinary combat skills, growing at a visible rate from initially being inferior to eventually defeating his people.

He knew that in the star system, there were individuals with extremely high combat skills. Each battle became nourishment for their growth. The stronger the opponent, the faster they progressed.

Their mental strength and physical prowess were both of high aptitude, complementing each other, making them natural warriors.

The Huang Family had researched and cultivated many cubs, but such cubs were one in ten thousand.

Now, he saw more than one here.

The cub who eventually won was the brother of the one who had previously passed three hundred levels and potentially defeated the suspected top-ranked individual. However, the opponent was very strong, so it wasn’t too obvious. It was only after he had someone reorganize the opponent's level-clearing data that he discovered this.

But soon he realized this was just the beginning.

Because next, whenever his cubs encountered one of these twenty-some cubs, even if they initially had the advantage, once the opponent understood their attack patterns, the situation quickly reversed.

After watching several terrifying displays of combat skills, Bai Qi had someone reorganize all their level-clearing data. After analysis, he found that half a month ago, these opponents seemed like novices who didn’t understand anything, but within half a month, they grew to defeat his S+ talent cubs who were older and had trained for many years.

Even more astonishingly, all twenty-some cubs seemed to possess this ability.

He stared at the leaderboard, his eyes fixed on the ID ranked above him. Who exactly were they to send so many high-talent cubs? The Huang Family hadn’t produced this many over a long period.

Not just them, but every faction was the same. If they had high talent and could reach 3S, according to past star system records, cubs with such characteristics had an 80% chance of becoming generals. As far as he knew, the current leaders of powerful legions showed this kind of talent in their childhood when clearing the mech zone.

Bai Qi stared at the data of these cubs, disbelievingly. It was impossible for so many to appear all at once; it could also be deliberately created.

After all, many factions had used such tactics before. These factions, to increase the aura around their cubs, would send trained cubs to clear levels as novices, just like these cubs now.

This way, if they entered the legion and were backed by their faction, it would reduce many obstacles for them to reach higher positions.

These methods were old tricks they had used. For example, he had done the same, and if it weren’t for Cheng Yaojin, he would have entered the Glory Rank by now.

Now they wanted to fool him again. He reviewed the data and even focused on the before-and-after battle footage comparison. Bai Qi sneered, “Well acted. To progress so quickly in such a short time, they must at least have 3S talent, future legion leaders in their childhood.”

At this moment, his assistant, seeing Bai Qi's expression, chimed in, “These cubs are deliberately arranged by someone, but they overdid it and made it too obvious, so it’s easy to spot. What should we do now?”

Bai Qi: “For now, just keep an eye on the one who passed three hundred levels, ‘Getting Stronger to Protect My Brother,’ and maintain the current approach.”

For this day, the Huang Family had invested a lot, not just the number of people they sent to clear levels now. Some high-level cubs would specifically defend their position above, assisting when encountering their main level-clearing forces, helping to clear other obstacles.

Assistant: “Understood.”

The young master was right. Currently, the one ranked at the top was the most important to pay attention to, as this person might be the brother of the one who defeated the young master. After all, the young master had gathered the entire Huang Family's resources and prepared for years to aim for the top spot, with a foolproof plan. They had even prepared for the next twelve years of defending their position after reaching the top.

The final match was unexpectedly interrupted by the sudden appearance of 'Great White's Invincible Little Treasure.'

Didn't you notice the shift in our Young Lord's expression? If 'Getting Stronger to Protect My Brother' is really that person's sibling, we must treat them well.

At that moment, Bai Qi asked again, "Did you find anything from the investigation?"

The assistant shook his head. "Not yet."

Apart from identifying many F73 bug cubs based on various intelligence reports, the identities of the other twenty-some cubs, including the suspected sibling of that person, remained untraceable as before.

Upon hearing the result, Bai Qi's expression turned cold again.

There had to be some powerful force backing all this. He had already mentally listed all potential forces and instructed them to conduct a focused investigation.

Just as the assistant was about to leave, he received another message and opened it, slightly stunned. Seeing Bai Qi looking over, he quickly spoke. "Young Lord, there are two more very strong cubs here, who have consecutively passed seventy to eighty levels in a single day. Their momentum is fierce and in no way inferior to our main force."

Hearing this, Bai Qi's face darkened further. "Give me their profiles."

He opened the files, and two cubs' IDs immediately appeared before his eyes. One was 'Little Tail Sent Me, Your Majesty,' and the other was 'Egg Yolk is Being Contradictory Again.' Like the previous twenty-some cubs, they appeared to be novices in the first ten matches but then exhibited the same characteristics, with even more aggressive and domineering tactics, surpassing the previous ones.

Now we've got two more?

At that moment, the two cubs were resting in the activity area after finishing a level.

The Little Prince stood with his hands in his pockets, Little Bai by his side, both glaring at a group of cocky teens nearby. The teenagers were surrounding a white tiger, their expressions hostile as they clenched their fists.

"So, you're the one who beat Seventh Brother? Already racked up over three hundred wins, huh?"

"That's right, don't get cocky. When you face me, that streak ends."

"Speak up, why are you not saying anything?"

The teenagers taunted the white tiger, and when he didn't respond, they became even more arrogant. Initially, they thought the person who defeated Seventh Brother would be formidable, but now he seemed so cowardly.

The white tiger ignored these yapping idiots. This was the free activity zone, and fighting wasn't allowed here. He wouldn't be standing around if the system hadn't forced him to rest after continuous level clearing.

The two spectators beside him felt the same way.

The white tiger scratched his ear with his paw, and seeing that they were still going on, he said, "It's noisy. Stay away from me."

The surrounding teenagers were immediately displeased. "What did you just say? You're pretty bold, telling us to stay away? Don't think just because you're using the White Tiger avatar, you're the War God White Tiger. In that form, do you really think you can take on multiple opponents?"

The white tiger replied, "Wasting time on you would be pointless."

This response amused the surrounding teenagers. "I see, you're just afraid, aren't you?"

At that moment, the white tiger's restriction time ended, and he disappeared from the spot.

"He should be in the mech battle zone now, let's go."

Seeing everyone vanish, Little Bai turned to the Little Prince. "Egg Yolk, let's move out."

As soon as they arrived at the battle zone, they saw that a fight had already started.

It wasn't the white tiger's fight; instead, the dragon cubs, after clearing over a hundred levels, had grown impatient and started recruiting underlings from the other bug cubs.

Little Prince and Little Bai bumped into the first one. The human-insect cubs weren't alone—they had a four-member team. Seeing their companion being entangled, they naturally rushed over, only to be targeted by the dragon cubs as well.

And so, a one-on-four brawl kicked off.

It was just one for now, but soon, other dragon cubs who couldn't stand being left behind saw their friend make a move and followed suit, targeting the human-insect cubs they fancied. In no time, the entire preparation area became lively.

At this moment, the group of boys from earlier also found the watching little white tiger. "So you were hiding here. We've been looking all over for you. Now, we're gonna show you what's up."

The battle zone allowed cubs to engage in friendly exchanges using limbs or even mechs. Of course, those who didn't wish to participate could request system protection.

Seeing the group approach, the little white tiger knew it was her chance to strike—unlike last time. She extended her sharp claws and charged forward.

The leader of the boys secretly watched the battle. This was the younger brother of that person, the opponent he was going to face?

He seemed quite weak. Just as he thought that, his companions were sent flying by a swipe of the tiger's paw.

The little white tiger took down all five of them.

Facing such a strong opponent for the first time, he got a bit pumped. Just as he was about to step forward, he received a message from above, instructing him not to join the battle.

Not just him, but several others who hadn't made a move yet.

But before they could, dozens of boys charged in. They were the ones recently assigned to stop the dragon cubs, and now they charged toward the little white tiger.

Watching this, Little Prince frowned slightly. Just then, a batch of human-insect cubs came online, and he casually made a gesture. The human-insect cubs instantly turned and charged over, jumping into the fray with the boys.

Seeing this, Little Bai spoke up, "Egg Yolk, are you worried White Papa will be mad if he finds out we just stood there?"

Little Prince paused, "Later, don't mention this in front of Bai Xiaoyu."

Little Bai: "Alright, but even if we don't mention it, White Papa will know."

The little white tiger couldn't mobilize the human-insect cubs, and the dragon cubs hadn't subdued them yet. Without bloodline suppression in the star network, they naturally couldn't either. So, the human-insect cubs were helping the little white tiger because of Egg Yolk, not her.

And Egg Yolk always made decisions faster than him; did he even need to guess?

Feeling his little buddy’s vibes, Little Prince’s face tightened, and he turned to watch the cubs fighting.

For a moment, the entire outer battle zone was in chaos. Their fight also affected other cubs, and many couldn't resist picking an opponent and joining the fray. The number of cubs fighting in this area kept increasing.

All the guardians present and various staff in the battle zone were shocked to see this.

Normally, there were frictions here, but it had never been like today, with everyone fighting outside the arena.

Were they planning to keep fighting instead of advancing in the levels?

Bai Qi received the message and arrived, only to be dumbfounded by the scene.

He quickly recognized the little white tiger and the human-insect cubs. Why were the human-insect cubs fighting alongside the little white tiger against his people? Were there connections between them?

Just then, he also spotted the twenty-something cubs who were clearly on the same side as the little white tiger, all fighting the human-insect cubs.

What was going on here?

Bai Xiaoyu also got the notification and came to check. The little golden tiger who had been acting coquettishly by his side followed to watch the excitement. Seeing the cubs fighting fiercely, he wasn't surprised; in fact, he had a sense of "Finally, they're fighting." He had been watching them fight in F73 every day, and it would feel strange if they didn't.

Seconds after arriving, he saw the little white tiger leading the human-insect cubs to take down Bai Qi’s boys.

Seeing him, the victorious human-insect cubs ran over excitedly, while the little white tiger, Little Prince, and Little Bai moved their feet slightly, standing far away to watch.

Bai Xiaoyu said to the cubs who came over to rub against him, "You took them all down—nice job."

Seeing Bai Xiaoyu praising the cubs, Bai Qi recalled that back in the day, Bai Xiaoyu had been a huge fan of 'Big White's Invincible Little Baby.' Now, he was getting these cubs to help that little white tiger take on his own people—it was obvious he was doing this on purpose.

Bai Qi stepped forward with a grim expression. "Bai Xiaoyu, I advise you not to meddle in things that don’t concern you, and don’t just casually command the cubs in F73. Only I am supposed to have that authority."

Just then, the little golden tiger suddenly jumped onto Bai Qi's face and swiped at him with its paws.

The longer Bai Qi stared at him, the more irritated he felt. Recently, whenever he saw the little tiger, his claws itched as if he had wanted to do this for many years. Now, he finally felt a sense of revenge being served.

Bai Qi covered his face and tried to grab the little golden tiger, but Bai Xiaoyu swatted his hand away with a paw.

Not having suffered such humiliation for many years, Bai Qi was furious. "Give him to me! I’m going to teach him a lesson today."

So what if it’s a golden tiger? No one could stop him from clawing Bai Qi’s face!

In his beast form, Bai Xiaoyu stood protectively in front of the little golden tiger and calmly replied, "You should reflect on your own strength since you were ambushed by a cub who was born not long ago."

The little golden tiger peeked out from behind Bai Xiaoyu and bared his teeth at Bai Qi in a threatening way.

Bai Qi was almost driven mad with anger.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by everyone, the little white tiger had moved a bit closer, while Little Prince and Little Bai watched from the other side. If Bai Qi made a move, they were ready to jump in.

But Bai Xiaoyu subtly shook his head, signaling that Bai Qi wouldn’t be able to touch him.

As they faced off, Bai Qing watched the scene as well. Watching the tension between the cubs, he focused especially on the little white tiger.

He knew the little white tiger's identity very clearly. Considering the tiger’s ID and recent actions, plus the intel he’d gathered years ago about 'Big White's Invincible Little Baby' being linked to the Sixteenth Legion, Bai Qing’s eyes finally landed on Bai Xiaoyu and the little golden tiger.

Could it be that the top spot on the leaderboard belonged to Little Hundred?
