Chapter 47

He knew that even if he were given ten more chances, the result would be the same.

Because this was not a coincidence at all; the opponent had completely seen through his thoughts and movements.

At this moment in Wuzang's eyes, that Armor Dragon was as terrifying as a primordial beast; from start to finish, the opponent had been leading him by the nose.

In Ancient Martial Arts, this is called a tutorial battle.

This was an expert who was at least one level higher than him.

The reason for finishing with a single blade at the end was to tell him that he hadn't mastered the Dual Blade Style at all and was full of openings.

That move of catching the blade was a complete insight into his own intentions.

Watching, Wuzang clenched his fist tightly; for the past year, he had suppressed his own combat, and even for a time, he had become a bit arrogant. Although his grandfather had said he was still far from enough, he hadn't believed it, but now, he understood.

"Huh, the Puppet God doesn't seem to have kicked the opponent," Zhuang Zhou said curiously.

Wuzang also discovered this point; the opponent was actually still online. "Wait until I practice the dual blades, then we shall fight again."

The barrage was filled with: ？？？？？？

What does that mean?

Wuzang went offline and took a deep breath; his motivation was unprecedentedly high. This battle had truly allowed him to find his problems and direction. Honestly, he was not afraid of challenges; what he feared was not having a good opponent.

This match had made him understand everything clearly.

"Dear viewers, this match is the style of the USE—lingering and sentimental. There are a lot of things in it, but it still gives me a feeling of clutter. What is combat? Combat is solving the opponent; why all these fancy tricks? That's why it's gone astray. Is there any player from ROM who can queue up? I look forward to a battle with our players; now is the best time for a lesson," Huonan said with a smile after the passion on the other side had subsided slightly.

"Huonan, this is technique!" Zhuang Zhou said seriously.

"Little Zhuang, these things are not important. We only look at the results. Facts prove that the style of the USE is going downhill; our Martian pragmatism is the true way."

When it came to this, Zhuang Zhou could not back down. It's just talking nonsense, who is afraid of whom? He had been polite enough before; he was tired of that habit.

The two were bickering, and the fans were also battling; it had always been like this anyway—Mars colliding with Earth.

Puma A-Class Military Academy, team training room.

Luo Bi and his team members watched the match carefully, and everyone felt a sense of breathtaking satisfaction.

"That Martian streamer is simply an idiot; I really want to beat him up," Mier Sannan said indignantly.

Luo Bi smiled faintly. "Focus on the main point; it's just for show, don't take it seriously. This kid Wuzang is very fierce. It seems Tianjing Martial Arts really cannot be ignored this year; the team formed by Wuzang and Ye Tong has a lot to look forward to in the front line."

"Hehe, Team Leader, these two have nothing to say about their individual strength, but their team experience is still severely lacking. However, this Puppet is truly strong. These people only see the attack of the Antelope Step; the difficulty of attacking is much lower. Many people know how to do pendulum dodging, but to dodge all attacks so perfectly, that is the key. Based on this move alone, the level of Puppet is at least one tier higher than Wuzang. When did such a great god appear in our USE?" Laierxisi said. He was an expert who had participated in the S Tournament, and he was even more detailed than the person doing the analysis.

Dodging is not just shaking and swaying. This kind of rhythm, this kind of instinct—without rigorous training and sufficient talent, it cannot be done. Combat is extremely difficult, let alone applying it to a Mecha. Therefore, for a pilot, compared to practicing defense, it is more about strengthening offense.

A proud smile appeared on the corner of Luo Bi's mouth; that was for sure, and one didn't need to look at who Puppet was.

"Boss, do you know who this person is?" Anku also couldn't help but ask.

"I know, but I can't say. If he can participate in the S Tournament, I dare not speak for the team, but in the individual tournament, it would be very difficult to beat him," Luo Bi said very firmly.

"No way, I see this person is good at melee, but he doesn't seem to be good at shooting?" Mier Sannan said. The competition for the Single-Combat King is incomparably fierce; it can be said to be the peak of individual honor. Not to mention the entire Solar System, the USE alone has many good single-combat fighters. Compared to the overall high level of the NUP in team competitions, the competition for the Single-Combat King is the most intense. A single detail can directly change the result. The melee of the Ancient Martial Family is top-notch, but in terms of shooting, the NUP dominates.

Luo Bi did not explain, but images from a few years ago flashed through his mind. Shooting?

With the level of melee shown in piloting the Mecha currently, and the sniper team battle he helped with, the second brother's shooting ability is what is truly terrifying.

They don't understand the terror of being dominated; of course, those guys from the NUP and ROM have probably forgotten it too.

The team members didn't know why the boss valued this person, but it was very enjoyable to watch. Ever since the last team battle victory, the members of the Puma seemed to have had a breakthrough, and their team battle level had improved significantly.

A few minutes later, Puppet entered the queue state again.

The opponent appeared.

This time, Zhuang Zhou and Huonan were both excited because the opponent was "Chiron God Horse," Mars's self-proclaimed number one Centaur Mecha user.

Of course, whether he is the number one Centaur is hard to say, but he is definitely a top-tier Centaur, and he had once reached the number one win rate for Centaur Mecha in Martian EMP.

A former ROM military academy student, after graduation, he did not enter the military or government system but became a professional EMP streamer. He didn't use other Mechas, only practicing the Centaur Mecha, with super-strong proficiency and integration.

Centaur Mecha (ROM)

Medium Mecha 85-ton class

Dual-engine Nuclear Fission four-axis drive, dual-chest retractable Laser Gun, Titanium Spear

"Dear viewers, the battle to verify the level has arrived. Puppet's opponent in this battle is our ROM Centaur Mecha expert Chiron God Horse. Everyone is very familiar with this person; a top-tier Centaur user, whose win rate in high-tier matches remains as high as seventy percent. A terrifying win rate. The official has provided his highlight reel; please enjoy." Now that one of their own had arrived, Huonan also became excited. There was nothing to say about civil wars; only cross-federation battles could verify the level.

The back-and-forth of Earth is like treating guests to dinner; combat should be fierce and brutal, controlling the rhythm, and beating the opponent until their own mother wouldn't recognize them—that's what's satisfying. Who plays house with you!

Zhuang Zhou and Huonan were also a bit surprised because the popularity of their live broadcast room had silently broken through nine million. Among the vast army of streamers, Zhuang Zhou was a small, fresh novice, and although Huonan was an old hand, he was not in the first tier, belonging to those who had their own style but were just struggling along. These nine million plus in popularity was a peak value.

Chiron God Horse was undoubtedly a Centaur Mecha specialist. Whether in the Xuni Qu or Zhenshi Qu, whenever one sees a person use a certain Mecha for thousands of matches, even if their score is not high, one must give a certain amount of awe. It is usually extreme mastery, liking a Mecha to a certain degree, even to the point of paranoia.

Specializing in one Mecha, on one hand, means having sufficient understanding of the Mecha used, and at the same time, being experienced. One will develop a set of one's own countermeasures against various Mechas. Of course, such players are difficult to participate in the S Tournament. The S Tournament has a ban-pick rule targeting hero pools, which is quite disadvantageous.

Chiron God Horse was also carefully watching Puppet's data. As a professional streamer player, he had also heard of Puppet, who was good at Armor Series Mechas. He had fought fewer Armor Series Mechas, mainly because the usage rate of this Mecha was extremely low now, and it was mostly an entry-level model for USE beginners; no one would use it in high-tier matches.

After watching a few highlight reels, Chiron God Horse was also dumbfounded, especially the Armor Tiger fighter; this person actually used a piece of junk that was kept at the bottom of the box to produce the dominance of an Overlord.

And his own live broadcast room's popularity was actually climbing rapidly; was this person so popular now?

Whether it was Armor Dragon or Armor Tiger, the Centaur fighter could easily counter them; after all, they belonged to the new generation of ROM fighters, and their performance suppressed the opponent. If he really chose these two, he would still have a 99% chance of winning.

"Thank you all for your support. I am the ROM Centaur user Chiron God Horse. Welcome to follow me. I only use the Centaur fighter. This player is quite special, rarely good at Armor Series, but he wouldn't really want to use an Armor Series to fight a Centaur fighter, right?" Chiron God Horse said. "I checked the win rate; battles between Centaur Mecha and Armor Series are rare. Statistics from high-tier and low-tier matches show that the win rate of Centaur Mecha is one hundred percent. This is a complete suppression of Mecha performance and style. If he still dares to choose it, I can show everyone."

What Chiron God Horse said was quite fair, but Huonan was not so gentle. "Little Zhuang, it's not that I look down on anyone, but the win rate of Armor Series against Centaur Mecha is zero. I bet he won't dare to choose it!"

"Old Man, I think the Puppet God doesn't care who the opponent is at all. What I care about is what we are betting on, after all, there are so many viewers watching."

"Hehe, quite confident, huh? I won't bully you either. If he chooses Armor Series, I'll gift one Spaceship. If he chooses Armor Dragon and can win, I'll gift ten Spaceships. If he loses, you only need to gift half; how about it, dare you?"

The reward of one Spaceship is ten thousand Federal Currency, which is simply unaffordable for Zhuang Zhou. Ten... Little Zhuang would go bankrupt directly.

Zhuang Zhou was a bit silent; one he could manage by saving up, but ten...

Huonan wore a smile; he knew it. The young man had just entered the industry, how could he have any money? This is called chip suppression. But the problem is that the viewers won't consider that much; they will only think Little Zhuang is too cowardly, has no guts, hehe...
