Chapter 10: The Desperate Reaper

Setting a three-minute countdown, Feynman had already rushed into the EMP Building. As a star figure of Tianxing Martial Arts, he naturally had his own exclusive training room, and his path was completely unobstructed; he logged in directly via Skynet.

While waiting for this moment, the number of people watching this match had already reached over two thousand. How to put it, compared to some streamers, this number was negligible.

The industry surrounding EMP is massive, especially the Virtual Mode, which is developed to the extreme, which is why the Alliance has enough funds to host the Pan-Solar System Tournament; all funds are provided by the Alliance, and the prize money is also quite generous.

Streaming is a very popular profession, but Li Hao's situation is quite special. Since he is not a certified streamer and does not allow friend requests, almost everyone who discovers him and watches him is his opponent, or someone recommended by his opponent—it is truly a case of one passing it to another.

These people all entered at the first opportunity.

Zhuang Zhou was also one of them. When he saw Puppet matched against the great god Feynman again, he knew this match would definitely be full of sparks. Although he won the last match, it must be said that there was a large element of luck involved; that was not Feynman's true strength.

At this moment, Feynman took off his coat and threw it aside, baring his teeth, radiating killing intent; there aren't many such opportunities in life.

Alzi was originally in class, and found it a bit strange to see Feynman rush out like that. Although they were a bit special, it was a bit exaggerated to show so little respect to the teacher. However, after seeing the situation on Skynet, Alzi also let out a strange cry and rushed out, leaving behind an awkward classroom.

It must be said that the teacher was still well-informed; he tapped the blackboard and continued the lesson. It was clear that these two students had encountered a special event.

By the time they arrived at the EMP, Dita had already arrived, and they were all on the big screen outside.

"This was requested by Feynman himself," Dita said with a bitter smile. This guy's straightforwardness is beyond imagination; he wants to get back up from where he fell, which is fine, but there was really no need to announce it so widely. Everyone trusts his strength, and the talk was more of a tease, not a real belief that his strength had declined.

"Team Leader, let's just see what kind of person this is. Damn, Feynman is playing for real this time."

Real Mode. Both sides entered the mecha selection. Feynman chose the signature mecha with which he had shone brightly in the mecha tournament—the NUP Gale Zero.

Gale Zero.

Configuration: Medium Mecha, 75-ton class.

Dual-Engine Nuclear Fission Drive, Left Shoulder Guided Missile.

Alpha Electro-Optical Laser Gun, Zero-Style Dragon-Slaying Blade.

This is the main medium mecha of the NUP New Era series, with an excellent power system and an excellent weapon system. Of course, the most important thing is the Zero-Style Dragon-Slaying Blade, which is the latest element discovered by the Moon on the planet Kepler 22b, which can effectively enhance the combat power of the Titanium Blade.

Previously, the mainstream weapons were the Titanium Blade and the Laser Sword, each with its own pros and cons. The Titanium Blade had a better combat feel, while the Laser Sword excelled in lightness. The addition of this new element allowed the Titanium Blade to evolve, maintaining its feel while greatly increasing its toughness and strength. This has also been fully verified in actual combat during the Solar System Tournament and will be popularized in NUP's regular troops in the future.

And on Puppet's side, the Armor Dragon Fighter appeared again.

Zhuang Zhou's heart skipped a beat. Playing around is one thing, but Feynman is already playing for real; Great God Puppet, please don't play with fire.

This choice meant he had already lost half the battle. As an Earthling, how he hoped someone could stand up and teach the arrogant Moon-dweller a lesson.

Puppet vs. Eternal Starlight.

Armor Dragon Fighter vs. Gale Zero.

The number of spectators dropped by half in an instant. What's the point of watching this? Might as well just surrender.

The two Mobile Suits appeared in the familiar Arena. Feynman's teeth were grinding audibly. Same place, same mode—what could be a more perfect revenge than this?

Zero-Style Dragon-Slaying Blade ejected, *snap*...

Titanium Blade ejected.

In the Arena, only the low roar of the mechas remained. In the holographic scene, everyone felt the terrifying oppressive force of the Gale Zero.

Gale Zero attacked. Having learned the lesson from the previous battle, Feynman was very steady. He didn't make any wide-open moves that would give his opponent a chance, but instead approached with oppressive force. He knew his opponent's close-combat level was high, but as long as it turned into a protracted battle, relying on his own experience and mecha advantage, victory would be 100%.

Entering full attack range, Feynman gathered all his strength, his eyes glowing with a biting light. The mecha emitted heavy footsteps, lunging forward—Small Jump Slash!

A fierce, straight-line attack that would leave no room for the opponent to maneuver. Once contact was made, he would strike until the opponent died.

The Zero-Style Dragon-Slaying Blade pressed down like Mount Tai. Given the standard of the Armor Dragon's Titanium Blade, if they really clashed head-on, it might be snapped in two. The best choice at this moment was to open up the distance and then use his own advantages... Does the Armor Dragon have an advantage against the Gale Zero?

At this moment, everyone's mind went blank. Such a mecha choice was equivalent to forcing oneself into a dead end; even having a Laser Sword would have been better.

*Sss*...

*Clang*...

*Boom*...

Three completely different loud noises reached everyone's ears, and then...

Puppet wins!

…………

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

What's the situation?

The entire Tianxing Martial Arts EMP Building was silent. Is this a ghost? In just the blink of an eye, the Gale Zero was decapitated???

In mecha combat, a decapitation is considered a crushing victory. It is essentially telling the opponent: You are not good enough.

Everyone stared at the big screen, and the spectators were also looking in a daze at the nonchalant Armor Dragon in the arena, and the twitching Gale Zero on the ground.

This...

Is this the time to say something, or does everyone subconsciously feel that Puppet should say something?

However, the Arena's color dimmed... the opponent was kicked out.

At this moment, Feynman looked at the words "You have been removed from the match by your opponent" on the screen. *Snap*... *snap, snap, snap*, he slapped himself several times, his eyes bloodshot as he frantically clicked on the duel request. How could this be? How could this be?

"Alzi, get him to calm down, don't make a fool of himself." Dita frowned. Feynman in the room was clearly losing control and smashing things. Failure is not terrible, but one must never lose control.

"Yes, Team Leader."

"Replay, slow it down," Dita said. The staff would handle it.

At the same time, everyone watching inside the EMP was doing the same operation.

How is it possible? If the Titanium Blade clashes head-on with the Dragon-Slaying Blade, it would break. In terms of mecha performance, it's even more superior by a wide margin. No matter how you look at it, there was no chance.

Slow motion.

When both sides were seven or eight meters apart, the Gale Zero suddenly used a forced-control Small Jump Slash. In this situation, the opponent must either clash head-on or retreat. Then, relying on the Gale Zero's performance, it could press until the end. However, the Armor Dragon did not. It shifted its right foot one step to the side, the Titanium Blade meeting the attack, but not head-on; it was a sliding parry. With an upward diagonal pull, sparks flew everywhere, directly neutralizing the attack while turning, a Reverse Blade slash came down, directly suppressing the Gale Zero. The entire momentum caused the Gale Zero to be unable to make any other moves. In that split second, the Titanium Blade had already broken free, and with a reverse strike, it directly severed the head of the Gale Zero.

The desperate Reaper's Triple Combo.

When you don't see it, you think it's incredible; after seeing it, it's even more incredible. What kind of person is this?

If the opponent wasn't Feynman, it wouldn't be much, but to be beaten like this at Feynman's level is simply unimaginable. Absolutely, at the very last moment of the strike, Feynman was also predicting, faking the opponent's prediction, and at the same time, his operational power and mecha performance combined—how could he achieve such suppression?

It seems simple, but it also seems wrong.

The entire Star Sky Martial Arts EMP is whispering; the level of Star Sky Martial Arts is clearly much higher than that of the people watching the EMP, and the big screen is still playing the replay over and over.

Some people have already noticed it—it's the footwork; look at the Armor Dragon's micro-movements. True combat experts all know that whether in melee or mobile shooting, the most difficult part is footwork; how to control footwork well is the prerequisite for executing any attack.

And this set of micro-movement turns by the Armor Dragon, combined with the twisting of the Mecha, is already the pinnacle of Man-Machine Integration.

This person is a top-tier Armor Dragon pilot, and their combat experience and versatility are beyond imagination.

Someone this formidable does not seem like an Earthling.
