Looking at the delectable Topa, Qiong lost interest in the food on the table, as if a kiss would be enough to satisfy her. Topa, on the other hand, disgustedly pushed Qiong's face away, not giving him a chance to kiss her.
Qiong grasped Topa's hand and thought for a moment. Then, she took out her phone, found a short video, and started playing it. Listening to the sounds in the video, Topa looked puzzled.
Data shows that 99% of girls enjoy being forcibly kissed, and will then feign modesty and resist.
"?"
Topa shut her mouth, completely bewildered. She had no idea how long Qiong had kept this video on his phone, or how many women he had dealt with, that he would use it on her.
No, no, no, no, no!
When Toppa saw that Sora had put down her phone and was rushing towards her, she immediately made a sound of resistance. But as the video had said, this was just a pretense of modesty. Sora then grabbed her slender waist and pressed her lips to hers.
Topa's eyes widened instantly, and she only reacted after Qiong gently licked her. After they separated, she immediately punched his chest with her fist.
"You're annoying, I'm ignoring you."
Topa was clearly taken advantage of, but she couldn't bring herself to hate Sora, which puzzled her. Was she really one of the ninety-nine percent who didn't like Sora? She couldn't say she liked her, but at least she didn't hate what Sora did.
"What the video said was indeed useful."
Qiong sighed as he looked at Topa's shy expression. Sometimes you really have to believe what you see on videos. But he also knew that this trick could only be used on women who liked him. Otherwise, he would be in jail by now.
Feixiao kept laughing; Qiong and Topa's interactions really amused her. Hanya, on the other hand, remembered the idea of a forced kiss. She wondered how she would react if Qiong were to force a kiss on her.
After breakfast, the group left the ecoship to continue watching the match. Luca had already made it to the promotion match, and when he saw his opponent, he gasped again.
"Quickly, go and invite the Heavenly Emperor!"
Luca was nervous for a reason, because his opponent's information clearly stated the words "Star Core Hunter Samo". After winning the previous match, the supporters who appeared around Luca also sent text messages telling him to run, grab a bucket and run, because his opponent was the fiercest, most vicious and most skilled at creating inferno Samo.
Luca wasn't asking Qiong to fight in his place; he wanted to ask what he should pay attention to when fighting Sam. He wanted to learn about the enemy's fighting style before the match, which would definitely be beneficial for the upcoming competition.
"What? You're asking me what I need to be careful about when fighting Sam? Here's what you do: take a taxi to a place called the Eternal Fire Mansion. Once you get there, find the main hall, kick away the charred ram's head on the throne, and sit on it."
Qiong gave an abstract answer to Luca's absurd question.
"Can we beat Sam like this?" Luca asked curiously.
"No, this way is a more heroic death."
Qiong's answer left Luca speechless. It seemed that this Qiong Emperor had never thought he could win. It made sense, considering that when Sam became famous, his grandfather or great-grandfather was probably still picking up trash to eat. But Luca did not back down; he wanted to fight him even if it meant death.
Qiong had already opened her phone and sent a greeting to Liu Ying's MSI account. Sam had come to participate in the martial arts ceremony. Why would she have such a dream? She must be hallucinating because she wanted Liu Ying too much.

Chapter 362 Terrifying Mechs
Somewhere in the Milky Way, a planet is engulfed in flames. This is a sinister zone where star cores are secretly traded. On the azure surface of the planet, there is a crimson dot. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this incongruous red dot is the area of burning flames. These flames continue to burn fiercely even in areas without accelerants. A tall, silver mech strides across the scorched earth, occasionally raising its arm to fire lasers, adding screams to this inferno.
"Star Core Hunters, we will not let you get away with this..."
A dragon-lizardman with broken legs crawled on the ground, his eyes filled with resentment towards the silver-white mech. He wished he could change his racial talent to Deathrattle so that he could take the silver mech with him to his death.
The silver mech raised its right hand in response to the dragon lizard man. Just as the energy cannon in its palm was charging up to fire, it suddenly stopped operating. The dragon lizard man's eyes were full of confusion, not understanding why the mech had let him go.
Then the dragon lizard man saw a bizarre scene: the terrifying mecha man in front of him found a red-hot rock, sat down, took out a cell phone, held it in his huge hand, and began to look at the information on the screen.
Ignite the sea! [Ah Qiong, what's wrong?]
Galaxy Handsome Boy [Firefly Wife, is it convenient to chat?]
Setting the ocean ablaze is very convenient.
Galaxy Handsome Boy: [A contestant claiming to be Star Core Hunter Sam appeared at the Immortal Boat's martial arts ceremony. I'd like to ask if that's you.]
Ignite the Sea [Huh? I didn't sign up. If I had, I definitely would have stayed by your side.]
Liu Ying looked at the photos she received on her phone. They were photos of the contestants. The photos showed three trash can people, which were basically cylindrical trash cans with four notches cut open, their limbs stuffed in, and their heads covered with the trash can lid. That's what they looked like.
Ignite the sea [This isn't me at all; I wouldn't dress up like that.]
Liu Ying was amused by the photo and let out a strange laugh. This fake Sam looked so different from her. Qiong could have seen through it at a glance, but she still sent a message to ask her, just to make her happy.
Galaxy Handsome Boy [Even the round fireflies are cute!]
Ignite the sea! [You bad person, I'm ignoring you now.]
Galaxy Handsome Boy: [That's alright then, I was just asking. Focus on your work, love you.]
Ignite the sea [I love you, A-Qiong.]
From Firefly's perspective, she was happily chatting with her beloved husband, but from the victim's perspective, it was as if the terrifying mecha man sat down and started laughing into his phone. The laughter was deep and terrifying, like the suppressed voice of a demon.
The dragon lizard man could already imagine the terrifying mech man obtaining a series of methods to torture him from his phone, and he was already thinking about how he would laugh after implementing them and seeing himself suffer. Just thinking about it made him spit out a mouthful of green bile, and his head lolled to the side and he didn't move.
"continue working."
Sam put away his phone without even glancing at the terrified enemy lying on the ground, and continued his annihilation operation. The beautiful wife who had just been flirting with Qiong instantly switched to war machine mode, crushing and burning all the enemies in front of her, turning this trading location into a true hell.

"That's how it is. Those guys in iron buckets are impersonating my wife. Go up there and give them a good beating."
Qiong patted Luca on the shoulder encouragingly. Upon hearing that they were imposters, he immediately relaxed. Only incompetent people would impersonate established experts. Luca looked down on such people and was determined to strike hard and beat them all down.
Luca went into battle full of confidence, while Sora returned to the stands from yesterday. Topa was still sulking and didn't come, and Mitsuki was playing a match. Sora also found a new female companion. After meeting up with Sora, Cocolia sat down next to him and deliberately turned to the side to put her arm around Sora's arm, letting him lean against the softest part of her chest. Cocolia knew that he liked this, and Sora did indeed like it.
"Aqiong, we've had a lot of sponsors contacting us lately. Could you take a look and see if we can pick some of the better ones?"
Cocolia's tone was filled with joy. As Jepard and Luca gained fame, sponsors sensed the business opportunities and took the initiative to contact them. The publicity and advertising brought in a considerable income, making Cocolia know that she had made the right choice.
"You can decide this yourself. Just pick whatever you like. If anyone causes trouble, just mention Yu Kong's name, and she'll help you."
Qiong gave Cocolia a hard kiss on the cheek and said that Cocolia looked at him with watery eyes, returned the kiss, and then looked towards the center of the arena.
Luca was ready. Before the start, he remembered what he was there to do. Challenging the strong was secondary; the main thing was to promote his hometown and let the whole universe know about Yalilo VI. So he raised his mechanical prosthetic arm, held up one finger to the sky, and then raised all his fingers in turn.
"Praise be to the King of Amber, in the name of preservation! One, two, three, four, five, six! Arillow No. 6!"
Luca shouted the somewhat embarrassing advertising slogan with all his might. When he counted to six, an antenna extended from the robotic arm and the projection function started. A banner was projected behind Luca, which was the promotional slogan for Arillo VI Belloberg.
This feature was added by the craftsmen of the Engineering Department after Luca arrived at the Immortal Ship. This is how Luca's mechanical arm is, and it's also how Jepard's shield is. This is what the so-called sponsors are like. They don't miss any opportunity to advertise. People will naturally become curious about what Yalilo VI is like after seeing it so much. As long as people go there, it will drive development.
Amid cheers from the audience, Luca smashed the three barrel-dwelling men, sending them scrambling for their hands in their hands. The main reason was that they were using the name of a Star Core Hunter named Sam. Although it was obvious to everyone that they were imposters, those who didn't know the truth were cheering. Watching Luca beat up a notorious wanted criminal instantly generated a lot of buzz.
Qiong could only sigh that it was his own subordinate who beat up the imposter, so he could say that he had traded his wife's reputation for some benefits, which ultimately went to him. Liu Ying hadn't lost out either.
As Luca and Jepard each won their respective victories, more and more viewers remembered their names, and when they learned that they were still single, countless bold female viewers began asking for their contact information.
"Honey, listen to me! Jepard almost got kissed by a woman. That fox-woman is incredibly strong; she jumped over the fence and pounced on him. Guess what? My silly brother blocked her kiss with his shield! Hahaha, it's hilarious!"
Hiluva patted Qiong's shoulder and laughed heartily. Qiong also chuckled and looked at her brother-in-law, who was sitting on the sofa looking sullen. In terms of looks, he was indeed a handsome blond man. In addition, he was single. Now, countless women wanted to go back to Beloborg with him. If he didn't pick and choose, this kid could probably build a harem.
Chapter 363: Victory or Defeat
The difference between Jepard and Sora is that Jepard takes relationships very seriously. He spent the first half of his life training and fighting, with his mind always on protecting Beloberg. Now that there is no more life-or-death crisis, the crisis of being pressured to get married has arrived. Originally, he had his older sister to take the lead, so the pressure to get married could be directed at Sylva. But now that Sylva is married, isn't it Jepard's turn?
After leaving his homeland, Jepard witnessed just how proactive alien women could be; they were all like wolves, eager to devour him. In Jepard's opinion, this was far more terrifying than facing enemies on the field.
"While being popular is a good thing, if you keep winning, you'll eventually face off against each other."
Qiong looked at Jepard and Luca and said that both of them were undefeated, but there was only one person who could challenge Yan Qing.
"Of course, regardless of who wins or loses, the winner will carry on the other person's belief and continue to win!"
Luca and Jepard exchanged a glance, then both laughed. Luca spoke first, saying that neither of them intended to hold back against their own. Only by determining the strongest would they have a chance to defeat Yanqing and become the champion of the martial arts ceremony.
The anticipated showdown arrived quickly. When Jepard and Luca stood on the same ring, the internal battle between Belloborg began. It was a contest of heavy punches and shields. Jepard had some defensive power and his fighting style was more steady and methodical. Luca had a very small frontal area, but he did not give up. Instead, he attacked with punch after punch, each punch carrying his determination to win.
Jepard's defense was strong, but his offensive capabilities were far inferior to Luca's. For him, the shield was a weapon that served both offensively and defensively; to attack, he had to abandon his defense. Luca, on the other hand, was always waiting for Jepard to make a mistake when he attacked, and used that as a breakthrough point to win the game.
"exciting competition!"
The audience cheered for Luca. Everyone could see that the two in the ring were trying their best to defeat each other. Jepard was just one step behind. After all, a man in his thirties who was almost middle-aged was still somewhat outmatched by a young man in his twenties.
"Hey, Little March, where did you fall down?"
Qiong was surprised that Luca would be the last one standing. He looked at March 7 sitting next to him and asked, "I don't remember seeing her on stage much. She was suddenly eliminated."
"Don't even mention it. I'm just the unlucky guy who got eliminated by Jepard. The sword techniques my master taught me can't even break through defenses. It's like scratching someone."
March 7th said with a helpless expression, glancing at Yun Li sitting on Qiong's lap. She was petite, and sitting on him allowed her to lean against him completely, which was her favorite position.
“Little March, how can you blame your master for not teaching well? You can’t blame the road for being uneven if you’re not good at it. If I were to go up there, I would flatten that Jepard with one sword, believe it or not.”
Yun Li shook her head as she spoke, still eating the ice cream Qiong had bought for her. She took a bite herself and then fed Qiong a bite with a spoon, just like a loving couple.
"Believe, believe, believe! Master is the most amazing!"
March 7th's brows twitched as she watched. She kept asking Yun Li if she and Qiong had some kind of secret relationship, but Yun Li always said she was overthinking it. With this intimate way of getting along, was she really overthinking it? Little March 7th began to doubt whether she had misunderstood the word "intimate".
The rest time given to the contestants during the martial arts ceremony flew by, and the day of the final competition arrived in the blink of an eye. Luca, a grassroots contestant who slowly climbed up from a remote planet, had already won the support of more than half of the audience. The rest were locals from Luofu and loyal fans of Yanqing. The two young people, who were not very old, were going to compete in the final. This year's martial arts ceremony had really whetted people's appetites.
"I, Luca, bear the name of protection; I will not lose!"
Luca was the first to shout out his bold words, while March Seven glanced at Sora beside him. It was obvious who taught Luca to say those words, but they certainly had an imposing air about them.
"Oh my god... this idiot, I told you to wait until he was about to be beaten to death before saying it, not at the very beginning."
Qiong complained helplessly about Luca's behavior. The victory declaration he taught was not meant to be used at this time. Qiong never said these words casually. They were always shouted at the last moment when she was fighting desperately. After shouting them, the cheat would be credited to her account. If she shouted such a sentence at the beginning, would the Star God still be able to look over?
“I will do my best to defeat you, Luca.”
Yan Qing stared intently at Luca and said that the battle between the two was about to break out. When the cannons of the Jingfeng ship fired, the two rushed towards each other. Yan Qing directly used his special skill of flying with his sword. He floated in mid-air, and his self-aware flying sword automatically chased after Luca and slashed at him.
Having fought in the arena for so long, Luca was already used to all sorts of strange weapons. To him, the flying sword was no different from a missile launched by the company's mechs. He could not only easily dodge it, but also grab the blade with his iron fist and throw it back at Yanqing. Yanqing hadn't expected Luca to be so good at fighting. He seemed to have already transcended pure human form. As the battle went on, Luca's potential was fully unleashed, and he had long since surpassed human abilities.
After testing each other for a while, Yanqing's sword energy had accumulated enough. He then summoned all his flying swords, merging them into a single flying sword over ten meters long, as large as a building. It descended from the sky and plunged towards Luca. If this attack had hit, it was uncertain whether Luca would have survived. However, he had no complaints, because Yanqing was showing respect to his opponent by using his full strength. Luca also responded with his full strength.
His right mechanical arm unleashed a full-force strike at the incoming giant sword. As the iron arm scraped against the air, flames erupted around it. This strike had already sparked fire even before it was launched. This was Luca's all-out attack, the culmination of his battles. At this moment, this punch represented everything he had.
boom!
The greatsword and the iron fist collided, and the arena was instantly covered by smoke from the explosion. No one could see what happened clearly. The smoke was quickly dissipated, and Yan Qing stood on the arena, while Luca was being supported by him, his body drooping low with exhaustion. The result was obvious: Yan Qing had won.
People's physical constitutions cannot be compared. Luca's all-out attack is his entirety, a manifestation of the unity of spirit, energy, and will. Yanqing's all-out attack, on the other hand, is merely his understanding of swordsmanship. As one of the best in the Cloud Cavalry, he naturally wouldn't use his full strength in battle. No matter what kind of battle it is, he would always leave some strength for a counterattack. After all, Yanqing is going to fight desperately on the battlefield, and a fighting style that leaves no room for retreat is not suitable for him.

Chapter 364 Legendary Hero
After the final, Luca, as the narrow loser, was invited by Jing Yuan to the captain's room of the Racing Vanguard. As someone who was only one step away from the championship, he naturally had the right to meet Jing Yuan, and he seemed to have something else to say.
Luca was still a little nervous facing a general from the Immortal Ship, so he called Qiong to keep him in check. After all, he was only Qiong's subordinate, while Qiong was the one who could stand on equal footing with Jing Yuan. Qiong then summoned everyone who had come to the Immortal Ship from Beloborg to meet Jing Yuan with them.
"Luca, you are a remarkable young man. It is unprecedented for you to fight Yanqing like this."
Jing Yuan smiled and said to Luca, showing obvious appreciation. If Luca agreed, he could immediately become a member of the Cloud Cavalry and obtain an official position. However, Jing Yuan knew that the people who came out of Yalilo No. 6 were not swayed by money and status, so he did not mention it.
"Watching your fight, watching your iron fist, reminds me of some distant memories. There was once a boxer from Yalilo VI who fought with an iron fist just like you, and every punch seemed to carry the weight of a world."
Jing Yuan's gaze fell on Luca's mechanical arm, and he said with a hint of emotion, "I can tell you that the invitation was indeed sent by him to Yalilo VI."
"Are you referring to Igor Haft, the only person who left Yalilo VI after the disaster and returned? But we have no idea what he experienced while traveling in outer space. Please be sure to tell us."
Luca said with a curious look, "In the legends of the lower city, the most legendary person is Igor Haft. When the Star Core landed, perhaps due to the change in environment, the Star Core did not immediately cut off the star route, which gave the people of Yalilo VI a long time to evacuate."
Most people chose to flee with their families. Igor Haft had the ability to leave, and no one expected him to return. After returning, he fought the Antimatter Legion to the last moment and was a fierce general under the First High Guardian. His legend still circulates throughout Beloborg to this day.
"Igor, what a memorable name. After leaving Yalilo VI, he appeared in competitions all over the galaxy. However, every time he won, he refused the prize money and instead used the time of his acceptance speech to publicize that his homeland had been invaded by the antimatter legion and wanted to get the help of a major power to drive away the antimatter legion."
"As you know, he searched for someone who could help him, but even a powerful organization like the company couldn't lend a hand. In the end, he asked our Immortal Ship for help. That was right when the martial arts ceremony was about to begin. Like Yanqing today, I was a swordsman defending the arena and fought a very close battle with Igor."
"Unfortunately, at that time, the Immortal Ship was at war with the Bu Liren, and Luo Fu was preparing to join forces with Yao Qing. No one could lend a helping hand to Igor's homeland, and he did not seek rescue in the Milky Way. Instead, he chose to return to Yalilo VI to protect his homeland. The Immortal Ship was his last stop."
Jingyuan told Igor's story. Luca was clearly an admirer of Igor. Hearing the story, he felt a lump in his throat. With just a simple description, he could imagine how much Igor had suffered and how much he had sacrificed for his hometown. He could have lived a life of ease with the prize money he won in the competition, but he still chose to return to his hometown. This sentiment and sense of responsibility made everyone from Belloberg feel awe.
Cocolia glanced at Sora, seemingly wanting to say something, while Sora patted the back of her hand, indicating that he knew what she was thinking.
"Igor is truly a remarkable hero; what a story it is!"
After Luca came to his senses, all he could say was this dryly. After all, the hero had been dead for a long time, and it would be exciting to see him in front of him.
"So why didn't you ask me about the situation of Yalilo VI? Maybe Igor's descendants are still alive."
At this moment, Qiong asked Jing Yuan a difficult question. The Starry Sky Train had previously mentioned the Yalilo VI, and if Jing Yuan still remembered his old friend, he would definitely ask about Igor.
"I forgot, people get forgetful when they get old."
Jing Yuan said matter-of-factly, leaving Qiong speechless. Indeed, respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a virtue of the Immortal Ship. Jing Yuan is old and needs to be respected, and he is also Qiong's wife's disciple. He is just a child who needs to be loved. Qiong stopped complaining.
"Although we didn't see Igor's descendants, Luca's fist-throwing posture is exactly the same as his, so we can say that we've seen someone who will inherit his will. At least Arilo still exists, so he can rest easy."
Jing Yuan made a decision on the matter, and the awards ceremony followed. Yan Qing, as the first place winner, enjoyed the honor, and Luca, the runner-up, also received very good treatment. Many companies wanted to poach him to box, and the prices offered were completely incomprehensible to him.
When they first arrived, everyone in Belloberg thought they were just bringing Luca out to broaden his horizons. But after the match, they protected him tightly, not letting anyone poach him. Now Luca is a living advertising machine, promoting Belloberg wherever he goes. He's gone from an underground boxer to a highly sought-after figure. Cocolia had already promised him an official position and a title. Given Luca's contributions to Belloberg, he absolutely deserves a hereditary title.
