Although Saudi suffered the loss of a super soldier, an ace of the military, the cost to the Federation was even more catastrophic, not only losing hundreds of battleships but also the unfortunate death of the Hengyu fleet commander, Maria, in this battle.

The incident had a huge impact on the Federation, shaking the entire Military Department. Charging into the enemy lines alone amidst tens of thousands of troops, especially when four super soldiers were defending the convoy, such a precedent was unheard of in history.

The general public was extremely shocked. Although the matter was quickly suppressed by the authorities, and the news about the destruction of Saudi's ace was magnified over and over again... But facts speak louder than words, and who could stop Kexiao's progress? Indeed, whether the Federation has anyone who could stop Kexiao remains an unknown. Other fleet captains might face the same threat.

Of course, it was impossible. There were two factors involved. One was Maria's personal combat issue. Although leading with a carrier could greatly boost the morale of officers and soldiers, this was also a major factor. Under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible for super soldiers to break into enemy lines without facing certain death, let alone destroy a carrier.

On the other hand, Kexiao's personal Mecha piloting level had reached a point that made all warriors wary. This was not limited to the white-clothed ones but included the top-tier as well— in other words, among top-tier warriors, his level was nearly unsurpassable.

Saudi's released information stated that the death of Silver Mary in battle was purely due to tactical issues among super soldiers and had no connection to Kexiao's command. This further solidified Kexiao's status in the hearts of the Saudis, undoubtedly making him the strongest Saudi myth, a breathtaking talent.

Once, some people doubted whether Revenge Shadow Rider could. However, times change, people change, and any myth can be broken, surpassed, including Revenge Shadow Rider. After all, he is human, not a god. He too has "four legs," and moreover, in the recent battle, there were indeed signs of Revenge Shadow Rider being suppressed by Kexiao.

The Federal and Saudi assessments of the two were polarized, completely presenting a case of each sticking to their own view. Saudi media expressed that Kexiao had completely surpassed Revenge Shadow Rider and even vaguely hoped for a match between the two.

Of course, the Federation's explanation was simple and straightforward. Let's fight then, we're not afraid of you, you should know that when Revenge Shadow Rider faces top-tier warriors, he always turns defeat into victory under extremely adverse conditions. Moreover, the Mecha that Revenge Shadow Rider rides, Phantom Knight 0001, is trash compared to the fully functional prototype model.

In the World Focus Forum, both sides' netizens were arguing incessantly. Of course, the rational ones still accounted for only a small minority, and these reasonable brothers were often sprayed with harsh criticism from all sides.

All in all, some say one thing; some say another. Both are top-tier warriors and are among the strongest at the pinnacle of the world. If not compared, it is really hard to discern who is superior.

However, on the World Public Forums, international opinions on both sides were mixed. The vast majority still tended to favor Revenge Shadow Rider, after all, he had been tested through countless battles, big and small. Whether facing top-tier warriors or various emergencies, he could always keep his composure and turn the tide of battle.

Compared to Revenge Shadow Rider, Kexiao's strength clearly required more time to be tested, since Kexiao never had the experience of facing top-tier warriors. That one time was just a short snippet of real-time battle footage and didn't carry much persuasive power.

You should know, the fundamental difference between a top-tier pilot and an ordinary driver lies in the fact that while the former may seem powerful, and indeed they are, when two of the same caliber clash it's like an adult fighting a child. However, once you really face an opponent of the same class, your own strength might not be able to manifest. On the contrary, if not for an unexpected incident when Revenge Shadow Rider was suppressing Kexiao, whether Kexiao would still be alive today would be a question.

It's proven that Blood and Passion professional forum still has significant influence worldwide. Although the thread was locked after just a few thousand posts due to the forum system's auto-function, the vast majority of netizens worldwide resonated with this sentiment.

On the space flight home to his motherland, Yao Cheng was in high spirits. For him, the greatest gain from this trip wasn't merely obtaining a military battlefield camera. As luck would have it, he somehow managed to film the raw battle footage of Revenge Shadow Rider, who was fighting one against four, where all four were white-clothed, including a twelve-star general. Such big news was enough to shock the world; it was just too cool.

When Yao Cheng stepped out of the spaceport, he hurried back home, turned on his computer, and started fine-tuning the battle video, including the clarity of the image and the sound. In order to do a perfect job, Yao Cheng used nearly a day and a night to finish editing the video. It was exhausting.

Yao Cheng, with panda eyes from lack of sleep, wanted to catch a good night's rest, but he was so excited he couldn't fall asleep. Deciding instead to go online to see if there were any hot news topics of late.

But as soon as he turned on his computer, Yao Cheng was stunned... He found that the news was flooded with comparisons of Kexiao and Revenge Shadow Rider's strength. Of course, that was not the key— the key was that many netizens were arguing that Kexiao would definitely beat Revenge Shadow Rider. After pondering, Yao Cheng ultimately decided to upload the battle footage to Blood and Passion's official website.

Even though the video was great news material, it was clear that Blood and Passion would be more convincing. He could not let the media hype up the video just for money. He considered himself a patriotic young man with a sense of justice. Besides, it would be unfair to Revenge Shadow Rider. Although having money was nice, and always having money meant always having a good time, Yao Cheng decided to selflessly hand the video over to Blood and Passion. As for why? Because, frankly, he was not short of money.

If he had given it to the media, it would mean possibly selling the video rights. Regarding any issues involving Revenge Shadow Rider, those unscrupulous media would likely find ways to force him to sign away the rights. Once the video was in the media's hands, who knew what tricks they might play, such as editing or similar manipulations.

Therefore, Yao Cheng directly contacted the Blood and Passion crew and submitted the video. Thus, not only did he retain the rights to the video, but Blood and Passion, a show known for its integrity, would surely handle it with care.

Of course, Yao Cheng didn't get much in return besides a thank you from the crew, a commemorative gift, and a precious special invitation to the program, with no further financial ties, since Blood and Passion was not a profit-driven show to begin with.
