Chapter 384: The Number One Tough Guy of the Apocalypse

Dodging with his back turned, Iron Armor Steel Fist, while in a passive state, parried thirty-eight sword strikes in succession, then flipped and kicked, shattering the afterimage and interrupting the Phantom Fighter's chain attack; this level of technique and confidence had reached an explosive degree.

Boom.

With an earth-shattering explosion, the ground cracked, and Iron Armor Steel Fist launched forward, instantly closing in on the Phantom Fighter.

Hunter Skill—Gatling Machine Gun Fist!

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat.

Red light illuminated the sky, each punch seemingly intent on shattering the heavens; the Phantom Fighter dodged desperately, for in this regard, Yemi was at the ceiling level among pilots in the Solar System, yet his movements grew slower and slower because the punch speed of Iron Armor Steel Fist grew faster and faster; the bee-sting Titanium Sword was forced to parry, but upon contact, he knew he was in trouble, the entire mecha was sent flying, and before he could react, another punch smashed down; Yemi gritted his teeth, his muscles bulging all over, Golden Zone pushed to the limit, sword and shield held up together.

Boom.

The Phantom Fighter was blasted away like a cannonball, plunging directly into the Giant Fern Forest, the roaring sounds continuous and unending.

Clang, clang... thud.

Iron Armor Steel Fist did not pursue, instead shaking his shoulders, standing proudly.

7777.

The entire audience was silent; what was this? What on earth was this?

The livestream room only then reacted, with an overwhelming barrage of comments flooding in, along with a screen full of gifts, gifts from Earth.

"Am I seeing God?"

"So fierce, never seen before, too ferocious!"

"Whose Warrior is this, so badass, I am willing to call him the number one tough guy of the Solar System!"

Huonan almost bit off his tongue; what kind of thing was this? Where did he pop out from?

"Dear viewers, what you are currently watching is the Vanguard battle of the quarterfinals between Tianjing and Eternal; using Iron Armor Steel Fist is the Heavy Armor Warrior of Tianjing, Cheng Konghai, a strength-type Warrior who excels in technique," said Kuangwu Daren, who was still trying to maintain control, because after all, the match was still ongoing, and Yemi was a champion Vanguard, this was no joke; it was not easy for any Warrior capable of winning the S-Tournament to fail.

Boom.

Laser blasts roared; it was clear Yemi was a bit manic, directly sweeping away the giant ferns pressing down on his mecha; the mecha surged back into the battlefield, the Titanium Shield already deformed; Yemi took one look, the mecha gave a jolt, and he threw the Titanium Shield away.

His teeth were shattered, he spat out the broken teeth and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; this also stirred up Yemi's ferocity; this damn ant seemed to have recovered quite well; fighting him meant one could not hold any defensive mindset, otherwise, death was certain; to fight the ant, one had to risk life for life.

The Golden Zone rose once again; this was Yemi's trump card, intended to be saved for the championship match, but he hadn't expected that Cheng Konghai, who had been wasted for five years, would still have such a level; defeating him was worth it.

No one could stop Eternal!

The needle-like light flames trembled and expanded, a giant Dufeng light-shadow gradually taking shape, the massive tail stinger aimed at Iron Armor Steel Fist.

Flowing Heart Martial Arts—Dufeng Soul Origin!

Yemi's pupils turned completely dead-gray, his voice cold and resolute, "Ant, the price of Dufeng Soul Origin is the loss of lifespan; it's not just you Hunters who aren't afraid of death!"

Cheng Konghai looked at the opponent before him, the mecha's center of gravity slowly lowering, his right leg pulling back a step; the air froze for an instant.

Indiscriminate—Ant Deep Space Intimidation!

It was as if they had suddenly entered a suppression of twenty times gravity; deep, burning red flames blazed in Cheng Konghai's pupils.

The momentum of both sides soared in a straight line, suppressing each other; the Flowing Heart Martial Soul realm was still stronger than Flowing Heart Martial Arts; the moment he gained the upper hand, Yemi struck; the longer this Dufeng Soul Origin lasted, the more it was a joke on his own life.

Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap.

Yemi struck; the Phantom Fighter moved at high speed, not attacking immediately, but letting his speed rise continuously; in the process of accelerating, the electricity on the surface of the mecha grew increasingly intense; wherever the mecha went, the surrounding giant ferns were continuously blasted into black crystals; a massive electromagnetic field surrounded the Iron Armor Steel Fist mecha, electric light shooting everywhere; the Phantom Fighter truly became a phantom.

Yemi's second ability appeared, the lightning-type derivative ability, Energy Entanglement.

A massive electric field formed, lightning as thick as an arm crisscrossing, enough to paralyze any opponent, and Yemi's endurance was about to reach its limit; in fact, this was the best opportunity for Cheng Konghai to break through, to attempt to shatter this electric field shield.

At this moment, Cheng Konghai's mecha was already sounding alarm signals; this electromagnetic field was already affecting the mecha's performance, energy was constantly dropping, and at the same time, the pilot was enduring high-intensity voltage.

But Iron Armor Steel Fist still did not move; Yemi also pushed his limit higher once again; the moment the giant electric field was completed, the Phantom Fighter soared into the air, all lightning currents driven in an instant, gathering at the Phantom Fighter which acted as the "Singularity"; the two bee-sting Titanium Swords burst with light, energy instantly pouring in, God Element stimulated to the extreme.

Baiwu Style—Thousand Illusion Meteor Fall!

Boom.

The Phantom Fighter launched a Flash Strike, the two bee-stings merging into one, smashing down toward Iron Armor Steel Fist.

Cheng Konghai suddenly cracked his mouth, teeth shattering, the ground suddenly steamed, followed by a loud bang, dust exploding like the rings of Tuxing, Iron Armor Steel Fist shooting into the sky.

Ant Deep Space Bombing Fist!

Pop.

Two massive energies exploded directly in mid-air, shockwaves sweeping out; for an instant, all sound was lost, people's eyes saw only blinding white light, the roaring sound still echoing in their ears.

After a long time, the light flames dissipated; the fire had already turned the entire battlefield into ruins; a Mobile Suit walked out from the flames.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang; every step felt like it was stepping on the hearts of countless audience members.

The Iron Armor Steel Fist mecha brushed off the debris on its body and shook its head, "Flashy and useless, not a single one can fight!"

7777.

One punch settles the storm!

And his opponent could no longer be found; he might have been beaten into who knows how many pieces; it no longer mattered.

In the opposing operation room, sharp alarm sounds had already rung out; Yemi was carried away.

The whole arena was quiet, unable to believe what they were seeing; how cruel was this?

Why would Earth have such a fierce Warrior? Why would such a powerhouse appear in Tianjing?

Vanguard battle, Cheng Konghai wins!

Roar.

Except for Earthlings, most people had no expectations for the outcome of this match, entirely because Eternal was the defending champion and was on absolute home turf; even if Tianjing had something, it couldn't change the result, but now the taste was wrong.

The Earthlings at the scene boiled over, shouting crazily, while the more than three hundred thousand Moon People were completely stunned by the beating...

The Moon People in the livestream room and the schadenfreude-filled Martians were also stunned by the beating; what was this situation?

This was Yemi; his fans liked to call him the Electric Demon; last year his ability was rampant and unstoppable, why was he so pathetic this year?

And the fans of Tianjing had completely exploded, Cheng Konghai???!!!

A real tough guy!

I've never seen such a satisfying Warrior in eight lifetimes, I'm a fan!

Master Jiabo has been deified once again; it turns out it was just a series we didn't understand!

The number one steel man of the Solar System!

This technique, this power, this suppression—I'm kneeling!

Kuangwu Daren glanced at Huonan with a look that was half-smile, half-serious, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the ant Cheng Konghai. In my personal strength ranking prediction, he is ranked eighth. Please remember the Deep Space Ant—Cheng Konghai!"

In an instant, the livestream chat exploded with all kinds of gifts flying everywhere; two Space Fortresses descended directly. That funny ranking that was mocked and even became a hot topic before the match doesn't seem so funny now.

Huonan glanced at Kuangwu Daren, thinking, *This works too? *

How did he know? Or is it just blindly believing in Mu Jiang, loving the house and its crow?

For mindless fanatical fans, this is very possible, especially in their profession—who needs reason?

"Huo Laoshi, do you have anything to say?" Kuangwu Daren suddenly asked, "As a commentator, you can't be too quiet."

"Ahem, the match has only just begun. The deep foundation of the Eternal Team is something Tianjing Martial Arts cannot compare to. Only a small setback can reveal the true strength of Eternal. I predict four to one; let them have one game first, there are still four games to go," Huonan said.

Instantly, the fans in the livestream chat flooded the screen with "666" to support Huonan, though it's hard to tell if it's genuine or fake support. Cheng Konghai's punch brought over five hundred million more viewers to the livestream.

During the player preparation period, the big screen replayed the various spectacular moments of this match. There is no need to mention his physical fitness; his operation only proves one thing: the so-called load of the Iron Armor Steel Fist is nothing to him. This is a perfectly compatible Mobile Suit. Besides power, his technique is also terrifyingly astonishing. This evasion technique alone is enough to firmly rank in the top ten of the Solar System. Someone had done it before, during a match by Puppet.

The Iron Armor Steel Fist of Master Jiabo's dreams has been realized by Cheng Konghai. When he designed it, he said that with the opening of gene technology, human mental and physical strength would continuously progress. This is the evolutionary characteristic of humans; sooner or later, there would be a moment when the ability is released. The Mecha had to keep up, and it did; it was the others who didn't.

At this moment, Iron Armor Steel Fist has already hit the top three on the trending list. No one expected the Eternal Team to be hit with a heavy blow right from the start. Originally, some Moon People who had other things to do hadn't paid attention to this match, after all, it was a guaranteed win. Many picky, blindly confident Moon People aren't interested in bullying the weak, but this suddenly piqued their interest.

Tianjing Martial Arts is filled with cheers. On the streets of Tianjing, many vehicles have stopped, looking at the big screens on nearby buildings. People keep cheering, which makes even more people stop in their tracks. Tianjing versus Eternal?

Wasn't this a lost cause?

But when the match reached a stalemate, everyone clenched their fists. Could they actually take a game?

When Cheng Konghai smashed the Phantom Fighter with one punch, the crowd erupted. Yes, who doesn't have a Mecha dream? Whether it's drivers, lawyers, construction workers... people of all walks of life stopped to watch. Cheng Konghai's punch is the punch of their dreams.

In the principal's office, Long Danni smiled, smiling very happily. She was actually quite anxious as a principal. Finding Li Hao was a last resort, but she didn't expect Li Hao to give her such a return. Then she trusted Li Hao once more and brought back Cheng Konghai. This person didn't do much of anything after arriving, looking thin and weak. Long Danni was truly worried he would fall ill... She was small-minded, her perspective was too narrow. She had to admit, she really couldn't understand the people and things from Tianqi.

This battle was fought with such refreshing vigor, showing off the prestige of Tianjing. And she could tell that Cheng Konghai still had room to spare—he still had room to spare!

Long Danni's heart surged. Sitting in this position, she didn't want to live in a daze; she also wanted to achieve some results!

"This kid has recovered quite well. This level of proficiency and control doesn't look like he wasted five years," Anlita frowned. If Cheng Konghai recovered too well, that would indeed be a troublesome matter for them. "How could someone who was 'wasted' for five years recover to this extent in just over half a year? Could it be that Li Hao secretly..."

"Anlita, you're overthinking it. Li Hao is human, not a god," Xilian smiled slightly. "These five years might not necessarily have been wasted. An ant who was once obsessed with power and relied entirely on brute force, only using raw strength—the fact that his technique is so comprehensive now probably has something to do with these five years. Have you ever thought about how he survived after losing his power?"

Xilian had investigated; the ant had been hanging around in EMP, earning a little money, living at the very bottom of society. These five years tempered his character, tempered his vision, and completely changed his technical style. That is why, when his power returned, such a terrifying transformation occurred.

"What makes you suffer to the point of agony can also make you reborn."

Dear family, the moon is in the middle of the sky, asking for a monthly ticket for support, sending love!
