Chapter 150: A Bit Cocky (Thanks to

The officials immediately followed up; the Puppet God was finally responding to people—he wasn't someone who ignored everyone after all.

Puppet God vs. Son of Super Limit, Freddy Haimer.

This battle was no longer limited to any single combat zone; it was being promoted across all combat zones of the Four Great Federations. One side was the Puppet God, who had suddenly appeared recently, fought his way out of the Xuni Qu, and was invincible in the Zhenshi Qu, having never lost a single match while using only the Armor Series. The other was a representative disciple of the NUP's four major schools of Super Limit Free Style and an S-level starter for Carmela.

This was a duel.

What is a duel? Both sides must understand the significance of victory and defeat. This is different from meeting by chance in the rankings. In a chance encounter, a casual fight, both sides might not be in their best state, nor would they necessarily go all out. But in a duel, both sides must understand that this is a battle to determine who is superior.

If you lose, there are no excuses to be found.

And this is exactly what everyone loves to see.

In terms of Mecha, the NUP leads the trend. In terms of martial arts, the Moon's four major schools are typically better than their predecessors, surpassing the Ancient Martial Families in both philosophy and influence.

So, what kind of performance will Puppet give?

Will the Puppet Step appear?

Will the long-unseen Armor Leopard make an appearance?

A series of suspenseful questions instantly ignited the entire Earth EMP combat zone.

"Brothers and sisters, every moment witnessing the Puppet God is precious. Come on, join the Puppet Fan Club and cheer for Puppet!" Zhuang Zhou would absolutely not let such an opportunity pass; he wanted to build the strongest fan club for the Team Leader, for Tianjing Mecha.

After learning Puppet's identity, Zhuang Zhou also seemed like a different person. He had truly thought about it; he had a responsibility. This was the guidance of fate, leading him to find the Team Leader. The responsibility the Team Leader shouldered was his responsibility, and it was also the glory of Tianjing Mecha, the glory of Earth.

It was impossible to imagine what kind of glory it would be when the identities of Puppet and the Tianjing Team Leader merged into one.

Zhuang Zhou was as energized as if he'd been injected with adrenaline every day, and a live broadcast like this was undoubtedly the best promotional opportunity.

Huonan curled his lip, "Little Zhuang, your advertisement is a bit stiff. Don't tell me you have a group number?"

Zhuang Zhou was stunned, then hurriedly nodded. He had almost forgotten the most important group number and hurriedly broadcast it twice.

"Damn it, I told you to be more restrained, not to go further. Also, you're happy a bit too early. Let's see how these two fight first." Huonan didn't make any rash comments this time; he would wait and see the situation.

The live broadcast popularity quickly exceeded 50 million. Puppet's influence on the Moon was still not significant; even with a "Puppet Step S+" or something, it only made the proud Moon People take a glance or two, and they wouldn't care too much—the foundations were completely different. But it was a completely different story on Earth and Mars. The Martians had been sanctioned quite miserably by Puppet, especially with that money-losing Huonan around, who had lost so much he didn't even recognize his own mother. It had to be said that the show effect was maxed out, and the Martians' attention was also very high.

As for those from Fanxing Space City and Titan, they were just considered bonus viewers. Titan still had some level of participation, after all, Puppet had once defeated their Gang Taitasai Butan.

Freddy looked at his Skynet and was speechless. His usually quiet Skynet social circle was as lively as an explosion. He had just posted something casually, letting those who questioned him see his influence. He had originally thought no one would pay attention, but a crowd had gathered to watch.

And opening the live broadcast room, holy crap, 58 million???

Freddy was stunned, then overjoyed. This was no longer an ordinary duel. If he won this battle, he would truly become famous throughout the Solar System.

Then, he would no longer be a Warrior who hadn't yet been tested by the S Tournament. He would display the Super Limit Free Style in front of the whole world; he was going to become famous in one battle.

Ding-dong...

"Freddy, fight well, show off the prestige of our Super Limit School!"

This was a message from his senior brother who had graduated and entered the military; he had never paid any attention to him since he enrolled.

"Freddy, I'm watching your live broadcast, come on, take down Puppet!"

"Freddy, not only must you win, but you must also show the style of our Carmela!"

This was from the Team Leader.

As a standout of the Super Limit School, the respect and attention Freddy hadn't received after entering Carmela had actually been obtained through a single match.

He didn't know how an internet celebrity had reached this point; in just ten short minutes, he had actually attracted so many people.

In this flamboyant society, people always paid attention to those who sought attention, while ignoring those like him who had polished their skills for over a decade.

Freddy's blood was boiling, his fighting spirit burning fiercely. Finish him in the coolest way possible!

What was Puppet best at?

Combat, undoubtedly combat, especially pretentious combat. And when it came to this, the Super Limit School was the daddy of Earthlings!

The week or so of disappearance after the Puppet Step had completely maxed out the audience's curiosity. The audience poured in frantically, almost all of them having set the highest level of alerts for Puppet. Whether they were sleeping or taking a dump, they were all jolted awake.

It was the same for Tianjing Mecha, not to mention that Zhuang Zhou was there, making it an even more spectacular event for the Mecha Department. The EMP Hall would be packed, and many people could only watch the Skynet live broadcast outside.

Of course, this was still under the condition that they didn't know who Puppet was.

Zhou Naiyi and the others also stopped their training, though they didn't go to the EMP Hall.

"Let's take a break and watch a Puppet match." Zhou Naiyi wiped away her sweat. The failure at Udier had made Zhou Naiyi very frustrated, and her recent training had been extremely intense. She was a person with super self-discipline; she wouldn't make any excuses for herself, and she didn't want to become a burden to the team—that was absolutely not allowed. And the goal Zhou Naiyi set for herself was to comprehend the Golden ZONE before the Mid-Season Training.

"Class Monitor, you've finally opened your eyes." Ma Long was almost collapsed, soaked through.

Wuzang and the others also silently put down their equipment and walked out of the Gravity Room. Zuo Xiaotang was carried out by Wuzang; the poor kid had no strength left the moment he relaxed.

Tan Ziyuan was the only officer on duty today. After returning from Udier Academy, Sheng Man, Lu Ying, and Lu Lingxiao had started getting busy with their own affairs. They came here occasionally, but Tan Ziyuan was dutiful and had been recording everyone's training time and effectiveness. Training couldn't be done blindly; everyone had set phased goals to be completed before the Mid-Season Training.

Thinking about it, it was a bit nerve-wracking. Those who could go to the training camp were no ordinary people, and they would even be able to see big shots like Nine-Headed Dragon.

She set up chairs for everyone, gave each person a new towel, and lined up the functional drinks with a series of clatter-clatter sounds.

There was only enough strength left in the room to breathe. The image was projected.

The popularity had already exceeded 60 million, with 6.5 million VIP viewers, breaking the record again.

Ma Long looked like a baby drinking milk, "It seems like I haven't watched for a while, how is this guy so fierce!"

"This might be the biggest dark horse in our USE," Zhou Naiyi said softly. She wished she possessed such power to achieve her own goals.

"Is there anything magical about it? After all, it's only in Reality Mode. There's still a gap compared to the 100% Reality Mode we use in competitions, right?" Ma Long was a bit indignant; it seemed like no one cared about them, these military academy students, working themselves to death.

"Ma Long, this person would be even more terrifying in Reality Mode," Wuzang said in a deep voice, "Reality Mode with weak physical load is more suitable for the weak."

The weak???

"Pfft, let's talk after the S Tournament. I want to see if he has three heads and six arms. No matter how strong he is, can he be as fierce as our Hao Ge?"

A duel had a preparation time. The officials were promoting it vigorously, and Freddy wasn't idle. Although he was a member of a top team, this was the first time he had been the center of attention, which made Freddy exceptionally excited.

The live broadcast was already connected. Anyway, nothing could be seen on Puppet's side, so all attention was on Freddy. Compared to Puppet's indifference, Freddy accepted the host's connection in a very human way.

"Player Freddy, I am Huonan. The match starts in five minutes. Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Please go ahead." Freddy suppressed his excitement as much as possible. He loved big scenes; he was born for big scenes.

"Do you know the Puppet Step?" Huonan laughed.

"I know it, a type of footwork that twists the limbs, it's been quite sought after recently," Freddy said indifferently.

The chat stream was immediately dissatisfied; sought after? What did that mean? It carried a hint of looking down on it.

"The Puppet Step hasn't been used in combat yet; if you face it in this match, are you confident?" Huonan asked.

Freddy waved his hand, his eyes full of confidence, "I think everyone has some misunderstandings. The characteristic of the Puppet Step lies in its novelty; catching people off guard might have a certain effect. Moreover, Mecha combat depends on the confrontation. True technique is what remains after being tempered a thousand times, impossible to guard against. This is also the profound meaning of our Super Limit Free Style."

The chat stream in the entire live broadcast room instantly went wild. Freddy was directly rubbing Puppet into the ground. The Puppet Step was very exquisite and many people praised it, but there were also many who questioned it: this kind of move is fine for dodging mechanical designs, but can it be used in actual combat? It's just that no one had stepped on it as directly as Freddy.
