The atmosphere in the arena was unprecedentedly electric, the ground trembling from the thunderous cheers and roars... Even on Bull Planet, Xiu Yi was endlessly shouting and howling in a primitive battle bar.

It was all because he was the Revenge Shadow Rider, and the overwhelming support clearly demonstrated his terrifying influence. When the thunderous waves of cheers drowned out the guests' voices time and again, the Star Wars company had no choice but to temporarily block the arena's sound effects, proceeding to the introduction of the main event.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Interstellar Combat Web. This is your old friend, Charlotte, 'Little Wu,' 'Comma,' 'Hot-blooded War Machine.'"

"Besides, today we welcome the special guest Colonel Grand, who has taken time out of his busy schedule to visit the Star Wars officials. I'm sure our friends are quite familiar with this ace pilot."

"Good evening, everyone," Grand said with a nod and a smile.

Charlotte continued, "Right now, the Revenge Shadow Rider is still in the mecha tuning stage. Everyone is here for the two warriors, so without further ado, let's take a look at their profile introductions."

With that, the central screen split in two, showing the histories and real battle footage of the two warriors below, scrolling up slowly... The data the gaming company held on them was frozen at the center for comparison.

Just looking at the comparison of their strengths was enough to set countless bloods boiling. This was definitely an evenly matched duel. Both top-tier warriors, both explosive attackers, what kind of sparks could they create against each other?

Yet it had to be said that the Super S evaluation for Revenge Shadow Rider also contained a certain level of speculation; after all, the Revenge Shadow Rider had proven himself in battle after battle. Though Desert Storm was also hailed as one of the top ten, he often faced the Red and White Cloaks with lower-tier mechas without losing ground, but according to historical data, Storm's frontline encounters with top-tier opponents were fewer than those of Revenge Shadow Rider.

The two quickly entered the battlefield matching phase. In official matches, any personal choice of map by either party wasn't accepted by the public, and naturally, neither had such intentions.

The paused map started flipping rapidly, barely discernible by the naked eye. After a dozen seconds, the speed slowly decreased, finally freezing on the arena...

The random map appeared to be the arena, meaning that players within could almost experience the fighters' shock in battle firsthand. Incredibly awesome—more regretted turning a greenish hue, but what could they do? The vast capacity of the arena was only a hundred thousand or so.

When the current matching map appeared, the commentators on stage were very excited; Grand was no exception. As an ace pilot, being able to witness the two fight up close was extremely beneficial to him in many ways.

The battle countdown also commenced, the buzzing echoed instantly, the noisy arena became silent in a flash, and people's emotions tense to the extreme…

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, neither of the typically reticent fighters chose to attack. Desert Storm, silent up till then, actually took the initiative to speak up, "I've wanted to battle with you for a long time; I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

TK's voice contained both a sigh and an undetermined undertone, which inevitably led the audience to speculate whether the two had met before. His voice immediately sparked heated debates among netizens inside and outside the venue...

The usually reticent Revenge Shadow Rider responded at the same time, his voice still brief, "The same goes for me."

"Come at me then, Revenge Shadow Rider. I'd like to witness the glory of the strongest burst warrior," he challenged.

"Hmph."

Though Feng Yi let out a cold snort, he was quietly smiling... What could be more enjoyable than savoring a battle itself? He wasn't the God people spoke of; he had worries, he could fail, but never did he fear it. Braving the challenges of adversity was surely the greatest joy of a warrior.

Since the opponent had asked for a warm-up, it couldn't be better. Thinking this, Feng Yi commanded his Phantom Knight 0001 to whip out the temporarily replaced mid-range rapid-fire gun. The Shadow Rider's shot was so swift, many netizens couldn't clearly see the action in that split-second, as if the Revenge Shadow Rider had been targeting that one spot all along, creating an unreal illusion. Just this quick draw was enough to get the audience excited...

Data displayed that in that instant, Shadow Rider's operational efficiency had surged from zero to 500 cards, then plummeted back to zero again.

Bang!

The rapid-fire bullet was the first to leave the chamber, and Revenge Shadow Rider's initial hit had a 100% accuracy rate, with the target being the cockpit of Sha Meng's mech.

Desert Storm reacted even more swiftly. It wasn't until the moment Shadow Rider squeezed the trigger that he drew his weapon and without looking, fired two shots. The lock-and-shoot motion was nearly seamless. The second bullet, fired after but arriving first, not only matched the Shadow Rider's shot but, in the same instant, preemptively took the lead with a duplicate shot, aiming for the same spot—the cockpit—with an equally high accuracy rate of 100 percent.
