Chapter 27: Experts Never Look Back at Explosions

Many people left, feeling that their expectations were disappointed, and only a few stragglers remained in front of the big screen, belonging to those who wanted to wait for a result, to die knowing the truth, among whom was A Youyou.

She... was waiting for Li Hao. She had felt it was incredible the moment she saw the first-person perspective, because anyone with normal reasoning would not make such a choice.

Inside the Cougar Military Academy.

"Boss, this guy seems... a bit too much, right?" A team member pointed at his head.

No matter how strong a person is, if they look down on their opponent, they probably won't go far. This Mecha Tournament has fully proven this point. USE underestimated the NUP's Light Type mecha, and also underestimated the Martian Beast Armor. USE has always pursued a combination of light, medium, and heavy, developing until now with medium as the mainstay, but this battle has made USE begin to reflect; they cannot practice everything, but must instead excavate their own style.

Luo Bi shook his head silently, not speaking, but in his heart, there were some doubts. It shouldn't be; he wouldn't have this kind of personality, or perhaps time had changed everything?

There were still some people who backed down regarding the incident back then. He and a few others had not failed to fight for it; why let him bear a year of imprisonment? Either argue out a right from wrong, or let everyone bear it together, but in the end, their request was rejected. Five years have passed,... has everything changed?

At this moment on the battlefield, the Fire Spider fighter launched an attack from behind. It was truly like hitting a blind person, and this kind of harassment tactic kept people in a state of constant high tension. Once the critical point is breached, a person's judgment will actually lose balance.

Two short legs stabbed toward the back of the Armor Dragon simultaneously, and just at this moment, the Armor Dragon fighter suddenly took to the air, and the Titanium Blade struck out—Back-flip Swallow Return!

The Fire Spider fighter in the middle of attacking instantly abandoned the attack, its four long legs folded abruptly, instantly lowering its altitude, dodging the Armor Dragon's sudden attack, while simultaneously quickly opening up distance in a half-body state.

For a moment, the screen was full of sighs of regret. What a good opportunity; if the Fire Spider had been even slightly careless, it would have had a chance to win if it had been hit by that blade.

Too damn vigilant!

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Dark DJ's mouth. Wanting to play a sneak attack, it was still a bit too green. He had seriously studied this Puppet; this guy was very good at psychological counter-attacks. After several probes failed to complete the kill, he was already somewhat vigilant. The opponent was rapidly adapting to the dark environment and was familiarizing himself with his attack style.

However, he also underestimated the Martian Warrior too much.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap...

The Fire Spider fighter suddenly increased the sound of its footsteps, hitting heavily, and then an echo appeared throughout the entire cave.

Thump thump thump thump... tap tap tap tap... thump...

The chaotic sound completely permeated the battlefield. "Let's see how you rely on sound to distinguish this time!"

Zing...

Boom...

The Fire Spider's attack clearly began to take effect, and the Armor Dragon fighter once again fell into a Passive state. However, just when everyone thought the Fire Spider was going to press its advantage, clang...

With a loud explosion, the entire Fire Spider was knocked flying.

It did a somersault and stumbled, barely stabilizing its center of gravity. Dark DJ's chest was also churning; what kind of monster is this damn thing???

He actually managed to grab the position by relying on the contact of the weapons? If he hadn't reacted fast enough just now, it would have been truly dangerous. The Fire Spider was, after all, a Light Type mecha, following the path of agility and technique.

The Armor Dragon in the battlefield stopped moving again. Zhuang Zhou and the others didn't even dare to breathe. It was almost there again, and this opponent was simply as timid as a mouse, instantly opening up distance at the slightest sign of trouble. This was also a characteristic of Martians; wolves were their totem worship, and while they were ruthless and didn't follow the rules, they were also exceptionally cunning, not the type that only knew how to play rough.

This kind of opponent is the most difficult to deal with.

Dark DJ knew he couldn't give his opponent a chance to catch their breath. An expert's adaptation to the dark would get better and better. If he let him completely find his attack habits, then the outcome would be hard to say.

The Fire Spider began to move again with a thump-thump-thump. This time it didn't attack, but circled around the Armor Dragon fighter. In a situation where it completely held the initiative, the Armor Dragon fighter could only wait.

However, in everyone's line of sight, the Fire Spider climbed while moving, suddenly crawling onto the top of the cave, directly above the Armor Dragon fighter, while the Armor Dragon fighter was clearly still paying attention to its surroundings.

In all the previous attacks, most came from the side or behind, or even used a half-body attack state.

But this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the Fire Spider's strongest killing move, Dark DJ's Deadly Rhythm—Justice from Above!" Huonan spread his arms and shouted affectionately with his rich bass voice...

The Fire Spider's eight legs fully opened, shrouding down from the air, harvesting!

Boom...

……………

？？？

The Armor Dragon fighter stood there, holding the Titanium Blade on its left arm high, and a giant Fire Spider fighter was currently impaled on it. At this moment, the Titanium Blade had already been inserted into the abdomen of the Fire Spider fighter.

Zing... Boom...

The Titanium Blade swung violently, slicing open the Fire Spider's abdomen while throwing the fighter out.

Rumble...

The Fire Spider fighter crashed into the cave, its body completely twisted and sparking...

How is this possible???!!!

Everyone was dumbfounded. Why did it turn out like this? Huonan's live stream room had become completely manic. It's impossible, why!

Huonan's passionate expression, like a leading actor, came to an abrupt end, but at this moment, Dark DJ could no longer care about much else. The mecha was about to explode; this damn thing had coincidentally poked the engine.

However, there was one last chance!

The head of the tilted Fire Spider fighter began to rotate, red light surging. Yes, he wanted to perish together. He didn't need to hit the Armor Dragon; as long as he fired randomly, it would cause an explosion, then... this match would be a draw!

In the VIP hall on Earth's side, various languages emerged. The Martians were as shameless as ever; this works too?

And on the Mars side, the audience was also roaring, praising Dark DJ's reaction—witty, decisive!

And just at this moment, a point flashed by.

Zing...

A Titanium Blade precisely inserted into the head of the Fire Spider. Boom...

Puppet wins!

Roar~~~~~~~~~~

Zhuang Zhou, who had been suppressed for a long time, raised his arms and roared. His roommates behind him were also jumping up and down. "Won, won, we won! Well played, Puppet God!"

"Awesome, holy shit, I was already in despair. This can also turn the tables? From now on, Puppet God is my only true god!"

This heartfelt ecstasy also completely ignited Zhuang Zhou's live stream room. For the first time, the live stream's popularity exceeded one million.

And on the Mars side, Huonan's live stream room exceeded 3.5 million, but Huonan couldn't be happy. A large number of Earthlings flooded in and sprayed, and the Martians were sprayed to the point where they couldn't even take care of their own lives.

The key is, this can even lose? Is there no justice left!

Not right, not right, not right!

There are problems behind it. In the attack just now, even if the Armor Dragon discovered the Fire Spider was overhead, the Fire Spider should have hit the Armor Dragon first. How could the Armor Dragon hit the Fire Spider first?

Furthermore, in that kind of environment, how could a Titanium Blade possibly hit the head of a Fire Spider???

Even with a laser, it wouldn't necessarily be that precise, let alone throwing a blade.

It wasn't just the ordinary audience who had doubts; even Luo Bi and a group of military academy experts were completely bewildered.

They didn't know either; what the hell just happened???

The slow-motion replay of the final kill still needed a moment, and the live-stream channels on both sides were about to explode; this defied common sense, it was impossible, it was absolutely a bug!

The EMP Hall in Tianjing had become lively again at some point, with people rushing out of the training rooms from time to time.

"What, won? Who won? Puppet? Damn it, who are you trying to fool!"

"What, won? Really won???"

A crowd poured out, and A Youyou was among them; as a girl and someone from a non-combat department, although she had watched some matches, she couldn't quite understand them, but at this moment, she seemed to be able to grasp that feeling—a miracle in a desperate situation, perhaps.

There was no exception; the Dark DJ was kicked.

The final kill replay arrived.

The Fire Spider was moving toward the ceiling of the cave, and the sound was different; although it was chaotic, top experts could still judge it, but the problem wasn't there; the image suddenly froze, and a red circle appeared, marking the position.

However, as it continued to play, everyone finally realized that the Armor Dragon had moved, moving to a slightly higher spot, but its overall height hadn't increased because the Armor Dragon's legs were bent.

And the Fire Spider hadn't noticed this detail; the problem was, what kind of person would ever think of this?

Then, it completely misjudged the attack distance and was killed by the Armor Dragon's blade.

The screen was filled with exclamation marks; this detail was heaven-defying.

It could be said that everything the Fire Spider Fighter wanted to do was within the Armor Dragon's prediction.

The most brilliant hunters always disguise themselves as prey.

The combat environment was Passive, the Mecha performance was Passive; in a situation where all this could not be changed, one could only wait for the prey to deliver itself.

Terrifying.

But it wasn't over yet; the match hadn't ended, and the Fire Spider Fighter tried to take the opponent down with it, but the camera cut to the Armor Dragon.

The Armor Dragon Fighter threw the Titanium Blade casually, and it flew out.

The screens in the live-stream channels on both sides were deathly silent; what the hell kind of accuracy was that???

Is this a throwing-knife specialist?

The most insane part was that after the blade was thrown, the Armor Dragon Fighter wasn't even looking at the target anymore.

The close-up on the big screen was exceptionally badass, showing off so hard it made one's scalp tingle.

The live-stream channel on the Earth side had completely exploded; the audience could no longer suppress the passion in their hearts; this wasn't Virtual Mode, this was Real Mode, that internet celebrity who walked out of the Virtual Mode—no, this was a true god who walked out of the Virtual Mode!

All sorts of wailing and howling came from the EMP Halls of military academies across Earth; after the failure in the Mecha Tournament, every Earthling craved a redemption, someone who could restore their face.

A Warrior who could truly stand up!

This person had appeared, but no one expected it to be a player who walked out of the Xuni Qu.

Li Hao rubbed his face and yawned; it seemed his score was still too low, these opponents didn't have much skill and always liked to take cheap shots; he had to think of some ways to score quickly, the EMP had various special training ratings, and those added points fast; that was how Zuo Xiaotang got rid of being last place and passed it to him...

He always felt like something was missing...

Damn, damn, damn!

Li Hao hurriedly logged off; he had forgotten while playing, he had left A Youyou alone outside for an hour; he was practically a pig.
