Although Mengdie had never engaged in lethal actions, the Jade Clear Sect, adhering to Huaxia's conservative traditional thoughts, had explicit internal rules against flirting and similar behaviors, permitting immediate punishment. However, given Mengdie's strength, no foolish pig dared to toe the death line with her.

Yet today, Mengdie unexpectedly drew back the curtains of the floor-length window. Although she only kept her legs together, half of her delicate body leaning against the edge of the wall as she gazed afar at the light screen... But when her natural beauty was revealed, the entire North Mysterious Hall seemed to be filled with endless fragrance in that instant...

The murmurs of the crowd suddenly became much quieter... The male disciples, who considered themselves highly attractive, now posed in what they thought were handsome postures, pretending to watch the screen while most of their attention was concentrated in one direction. They could not imagine who else could steal the spotlight from the Revenge Shadow Rider going online at this moment, other than Mengdie. After all, while the Revenge Shadow Rider's battles could be rewatched on video, Mengdie was not a common sight.

It could be said that most of the males had shifted their focus toward Mengdie, while the female disciples, including Mengdie herself, were all watching the live broadcast on the light screen. This, to some extent, might reflect that the Revenge Shadow Rider still held more sway.

Whether or not anyone could say for certain, the atmosphere of the battlefield was already very tense. After about fifteen minutes of adjustment, TK was ready to enter battle mode at any moment, his eyes partially closed, relishing the moment the final battle was about to begin. He had no reason to lose this battle.

With 8 minutes left until the battle, after many years, the Galactic Warfare server once again faced an online user emergency, with a network online number of 800 billion, an unimaginably large PK traffic that nearly reached half of the combined alliance forces.

Athena's highest viewership rates weren't more impressive than this. As time intensified, the pre-battle influx of viewers continued to surge... If an ad were thrown in now, it would likely catch fire. Even the few live commentators became cautious in their speech, and Grand clearly had experience in significant events, managing to keep his composure in the guest seats.

Seeing that the time was nearly up, Feng Yi walked back to the fiery warship with slow steps, entered the battle pod, casually locked the door, and twisted open a soda bottle, gulping down its contents in two swallows and biting into an apple before he eagerly sat in the virtual combat machine.

It had been a while since he had last competed online, and he was unsure about how it would feel. Fortunately, the one thing he needn't worry about in online battles was unpredictability, such as an aging Mecha circuit, rusted components, or equipment malfunction, all of which could be categorized as unpredictable factors. This was the only fair aspect of network competitions.

In this battle, his confidence in himself was not very high, partly due to his physical condition and partly because he was a bit unsure about Desert Storm. Although they had clashed once before, real combat was never as straightforward as a Mecha Battle. Feng Yi could only judge that his offense might be slightly stronger than Storm's. As for other factors, there was no time to consider. In any case, he thought it was best to just go for it.

Without exaggeration, Feng Yi was both excited and nervous right now, but wasn't this what he looked forward to most? He craved the battle itself, enjoyed challenging any opponent worth challenging, and even in defeat, he didn't want to leave any regrets in the final moments of his life. As for win or lose and people's expectations, Feng Yi did care to some extent—not that he took it too seriously—he just didn't want to disappoint those who supported him.

The moment he boarded Phantom Knight 0001, he was no longer himself but a warrior with an endless desire for battle, unconcerned with any benefits.

Dingling...

With the pleasant electronic alert, the Revenge Shadow Rider ID finally shone brightly with 3 minutes left to battle.

He had arrived!

The venue went "whoosh" and fell into silence instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, except for the breathing of the crowd. The level of shock had reached such a degree that even applause seemed superfluous. For this legendary warrior, the audience wanted to observe every move he made up close.

At the same time, countless men around the world took off their shirts, with at least ten million people pausing their current activities to gaze at his cold machine body, their emotions transforming into tears in that instant.

A song silently resonated throughout the arena and the ears of the audience...

Surpass—Break the Limits—Tribute to Revenge Shadow Rider

This was a song dedicated by the global singer Athena in honor of Revenge Shadow Rider's battle against the Devil Legion, serving as the home music for the Revenge Shadow Rider.

When the music erupted, the entire world fell completely silent, the soul-stirring melody, and the epic notes constantly assailed the nerves of everyone present!

At that moment, memories flickered before their eyes, passing swiftly through their thoughts...

Indeed, he was the embodiment of justice, an undefeated warrior. Thinking of one blood-pumping scene after another that left people breathless, onlookers were deeply moved by this man who carried the faith of countless others.

The Revenge Shadow Rider was no longer solely the property of the federation, he was a treasure of the entire world. He had grown, strengthened, and witnessed changes in the world together with the people. What remained unchanged was the emotion he brought to everyone, the epic chapters written with his successive victories. He would always appear when people needed him the most.

He had long since become a refuge in the hearts of the masses, an irreplaceable warrior in everyone's hearts, a testament to courage and strength.

Xia Mu suddenly smiled, thinking back, even he suddenly felt that the Revenge Shadow Rider wasn't so detestable after all.

Yes, after all, the stances were different. Compared to warfare, perhaps the Revenge Shadow Rider had contributed more to the world. Losing to him wasn't a disgrace; on the contrary, as a white-garment driver, to have battled such a warrior was a testimony in itself. At least, he had no regrets in life.

However, Jiu Ling hadn't come, nor was it clear whether Jiu Ling would secretly watch the battle, but it was clear in his heart that Jiu Ling cared very much about the Revenge Shadow Rider, perhaps cared about Rafael as well. This contradictory difference was what caused her recent emotional instability.

Xia Mu knew how terrifying the Revenge Shadow Rider could be. As a veteran white-garment, his experience far surpassed that of Angelina. He also knew that even the Desert Storm would inevitably face immense pressure, an enemy you wouldn't want to encounter a second time after one battle.

A gust of wind swept through the arena, the serene atmosphere seemingly adding a hint of a chilly breeze.

"Revenge Shadow Rider online!"

The next second, the fierce battle chariot roared almost as if screaming, as if he could not vent his inner emotions otherwise.

After a brief silence, the scene exploded, with sound waves rolling one after another, instantly transforming into incessant, unstoppable cheers pounding the television speakers... The audience expressed their support for Revenge Shadow Rider in every possible way.

Beneath the stage, the crowd unfurled countless Shadow Rider banners, with various fonts promoting cheers for Shadow Rider and expressing their feelings. Many banners also carried identifiers like certain clubs or corporations; in short, people were expressing their love for Revenge Shadow Rider in imaginable and unimaginable ways.

It was indeed a battle worth anticipating, yet... harboring somewhat different emotions, even Roland couldn't help but type a string of cheers for Shadow Rider on the public channel.

"Eh? Eh? Eh? Roland, you actually take the initiative to cheer for someone?"

Mirami's jaw dropped, her eyelashes flickering as she stared intently at the computer. She suspected that Roland might also be a little sister fan of Revenge Shadow Rider. Although Revenge Shadow Rider was indeed great, a very charismatic man, she felt Roland's own persona wasn't any less than Shadow Rider's.

Roland merely shrugged nonchalantly, "Yeah, what's so strange about that?"

As he turned around, a flicker of sadness briefly crossed Roland's eyes. A simple cheer was perhaps the only thing she could do for him, right? With revenge set aside, in this world, there was no more Shadow Rider, no more Flame Dual Slash, irreplaceable.

But what was revenge anyway? Upon letting go of hatred, Shadow Rider went further and faster — he was so willful that he wouldn't even allow people the chance to see him age.
