Chapter 9: Desperate Triple Strike

With a three-minute countdown timer set, Feiman had already rushed into the EMP building. Being a star figure of the Tianxing Mech Warfare, he naturally had his own exclusive training room. With a smooth passage, he logged into the Tianxun system.

During this wait, there were already over two thousand spectators for this match. Compared to some popular streamers, this number was relatively small.

EMP was a huge industry, especially in virtual mode. It was extensively developed, which is why the alliance had sufficient funds to organize the Pan-Solar System Grand Tournament. All the funds were provided by the alliance, and the prize money was quite substantial.

Being a streamer was a popular profession, but Li Hao's situation was unique. Since he was not a certified streamer and did not allow friend requests, those who discovered him and watched him were mostly his opponents or those recommended by his opponents. It was a one-to-one situation.

These people were among the first to enter.

Zhuang Zhou was one of them. When he saw that the Puppet had once again been matched with Feiman, he knew that this match was bound to be full of sparks. Although he won the previous match, it had to be said that luck played a significant role, as it was not Feiman's true strength.

At this moment, Feiman took off his coat and threw it aside, showing a fierce expression. Opportunities like this in life were rare.

Alz was originally in class but found it strange that Feiman rushed out like this, even though they were a bit special, being so disrespectful to the teacher was a bit excessive. However, when he saw the situation on Tianxun, Alz also exclaimed in surprise and rushed out, leaving behind an awkward classroom.

It had to be said that the teacher was experienced and knocked on the blackboard before continuing the class. Obviously, these two students had encountered a special event.

When they arrived at EMP, Tita had already arrived. They were all on the large screen outside.

"This was Feiman's request," Tita said with a wry smile. Feiman's straightforwardness was beyond imagination. Wherever he fell, he would climb back up. That much was true. However, it was really unnecessary to make it so widely known. Everyone trusted his abilities, and the comments were more of teasing rather than believing that his strength had declined.

"Captain, let's see who this person is. Oh my, Feiman is taking it seriously."

Real mode. Both sides entered the mech selection phase, and Feiman chose his signature NUP Gale Zero.

Gale Zero

Configuration: Medium-sized mech, 75 tons.Alpha Fusion Drive Left Shoulder Guided Missiles

Alpha Electric Light Laser Gun Zero-style Dragon-slaying Blade

This is the flagship model of the NUP New Era series, a medium-sized mech with excellent power and weapon systems. The most important feature is the Zero-style Dragon-slaying Blade, which is made from the latest element discovered on the Kepler-22b planet by the Moon. It effectively enhances the combat capabilities of the titanium blade.

Previously, the mainstream weapons were titanium blades and laser swords, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The titanium blade provided a better combat feel, while the laser sword excelled in agility. However, with the introduction of this new element, the titanium blade evolved to maintain its feel while greatly improving its toughness and strength. This has been fully validated in the Solar System Grand Tournament and will be popularized in NUP's regular forces in the future.

On the other side, Puppet was piloting the Armor Dragon Fighter.

Zhuang Zhou's heart skipped a beat. Playing casually was one thing, but Feiman was taking it seriously. Puppet must not play with fire.

This choice was already halfway to defeat. As an Earthling, how he wished someone would step forward and educate the arrogant Lunar pilots.

Puppet vs. Eternal Starlight

Armor Dragon Fighter vs. Gale Zero

The number of spectators instantly dropped by half. What a joke. They might as well quit watching.

Two mobile suits entered the arena, the familiar competition venue. Feiman clenched his teeth, feeling the same excitement. The same place, the same mode, what could be more perfect for revenge?

The Dragon-slaying Blade of the Zero-style shot out—snap...

The titanium blade popped out.

Only the low rumbling of mechs remained in the arena. In the holographic scene, everyone could feel the terrifying pressure exerted by the Gale Zero.

The Gale Zero launched its attack, having learned from the previous battle. Feiman remained calm, not giving his opponent any openings with flashy moves. He directly pressed forward, knowing that his opponent was highly skilled in close combat. As long as he engaged in a fierce battle, relying on his experience and the advantages of his mech, victory was guaranteed.

Entering the optimal attack range, Feiman gathered all his strength. His eyes emitted a sharp light as his mech took heavy steps, lunging forward—a small jumping slash!

It was a powerful straight-line attack, leaving no space for the opponent to counterattack. Once contact was made, he would continue to strike until the opponent was defeated.The Gale Zero's Dragon-slaying Blade pressed down like Mount Tai. With the level of the Armor Dragon's titanium blade, if they were to clash head-on, it might even be cut through. At this moment, the best choice was to create distance and then utilize their own advantages... Does the Armor Dragon have an advantage against the Gale Zero?

At this moment, everyone's minds went blank. This choice of mech was like sealing their own path, even if they had a laser sword.

Snap...

Boom...

Boom...

Everyone heard three completely different loud noises, and then...

Puppet won!

...

All the spectators were dumbfounded. What the hell just happened?

What's going on?

The entire EMP building of the Tianxing Machine Martial Arts was silent. Did they just witness a miracle? In the blink of an eye, the Gale Zero was beheaded???

In mech battles, beheading was a crushing victory, a way of telling the opponent, "You're not good enough."

Everyone stared at the large screen, and the onlookers also gazed in astonishment at the nonchalant Armor Dragon in the arena and the convulsing Gale Zero on the ground.

This...

Shouldn't something be said at this moment? Or did everyone's subconscious think that Puppet should say something?

However, the arena darkened, and... the opponent was kicked out.

At this moment, Feiman looked at the words "You have been removed from the match" on the screen. Snap... Snap, snap, he even slapped himself a few times. His eyes were bloodshot as he frantically sent more challenge requests. How could this happen? How could this happen?

"Alz, make him calm down. Don't embarrass himself." Tita frowned. Feiman in the room was clearly losing control, smashing things. Failure was not scary, but losing control was unacceptable."Yes, Captain."

"Replay, slow it down," Tita said, instructing the staff to do so.

At the same time, everyone at EMP was doing the same operation.

How was it possible? If the Titanium Blade collided head-on with the Dragon-slaying Blade, it would break. The performance of the mechs was far superior, no chance at all.

Slow-motion.

The Gale Zero executed a forceful controlled jump slash when they were about seven to eight meters apart. In this situation, the opponent could either collide head-on or retreat. With the Gale Zero's performance, it could pressurize the opponent to death. However, the Armor Dragon was different. It moved its right foot to the side, the Titanium Blade met the attack not with sheer force but with a sliding motion. It was pulled diagonally upward, sparking, directly resolving the attack. At the same time, it turned around and executed a backhand sword strike, directly overwhelming the Gale Zero, leaving it unable to perform any other actions due to the inertia carried by the Gale Zero. In the blink of an eye, the Titanium Blade had already freed itself and, with a backhand strike, decapitated the Gale Zero.

A three-hit combo of despair from the Grim Reaper.

It was unbelievable before seeing it, and even more unbelievable after seeing it. Who was this person?

If the opponent wasn't Feiman, it wouldn't be a big deal. But with Feiman's level, this kind of one-sided humiliation was unimaginable. Absolutely. At the last moment of the attack, Feiman was also making predictions, anticipating the opponent's predictions, while his dexterity and the coordination of his mech's performance, how could he achieve such suppression?

It seemed simple, but it also felt off.

The entire EMP of the Tianxing Machine Martial Arts whispered among themselves. The skill level of the Tianxing Machine Martial Arts was clearly much higher than the onlookers at EMP. The large screen kept replaying the scene over and over again.

Some people had already noticed it—footwork. Look at the Armor Dragon's slight movements. True masters of combat, whether in close combat or mobile shooting, knew that the most difficult aspect was footwork, how to control it. It was a prerequisite for any attack.

The Armor Dragon's precise and minimal footwork, combined with the mech's torsion, had already reached the pinnacle of man-machine integration.

This person was a top-level Armor Dragon operator, and their combat experience and expertise were beyond imagination.

Someone this powerful didn't seem like an Earthling.
