Gazing at his unmoving opponent, Desert Storm had just landed on his feet when he swiftly circled around and once again aimed for the Revenge Shadow Rider's cockpit with a thrust as swift as a flash of light...
Just as the blade was about to touch the cockpit, Desert Storm stopped his motion, his eyes bloodshot and unexpectedly moist... Even though you've lost consciousness, you still fought to the very end. You are indeed worthy of the name Revenge Shadow Rider.
"I surrender."
As the words Desert Storm slipped from his lips, whispers of disbelief rippled through the arena... One second, two seconds, three seconds passed, then with a clang, the Titanium Alloy blade Desert Storm was holding snapped thunderously after three seconds...
After laying down his weapon, TK didn't hesitate to log off; the battle was over—what did winning matter in the end if he still felt like the loser? Perhaps this was the best outcome.
Indeed, a weapon is a warrior's second life. In a battle between evenly matched opponents, losing one's weapon is tantamount to losing everything. But why did Desert Storm's weapon break? Staring at the motionless Revenge Shadow Rider, the entire stadium plunged into a heated debate...
Even the four popular commentators and the on-site guests were baffled. It made sense for Desert Storm to concede when his weapon broke, but why did it break?
After reviewing the footage in slow motion repeatedly, it was Grand who found the answer. It turned out that during their trades, Revenge Shadow Rider consistently struck the same spot on Desert Storm, and obviously, Desert Storm had realized this crucial point at the last moment, which is why he chose to surrender.
Ordinary people might think that victory is paramount, but at this level of combat, victory can be discerned in many aspects, such as a detail or a key issue. The outcome often isn't the main focus, and furthermore, each individual's values and beliefs can differ greatly.
Nevertheless, it can't be denied that in this battle, Revenge Shadow Rider not only won the fight and the outcome but also completely outclassed Desert Storm in skill. When Star Wars officially gave such a well-founded evaluation, the crowd erupted.
Of course, Feng Yi's fainting was only temporary, and within a minute, he had revived. When he learned the result, he couldn't help but give a wry smile and shake his head... There was no need for TK to surrender at the last moment—clearly, the loser was himself. What a baffling guy.
Under normal circumstances, the likely loser of this battle would have been TK, but to be fair, he had indeed lost this time. Yet, outsiders were unaware. Watching the continuous cheers within and outside the arena, Feng Yi's feelings were mixed and hard to describe as either good or bad.
Kexiao let out a deep sigh and then turned off the live stream. He didn't extend an invitation to Feng Yi, confident that, as Revenge Shadow Rider, Feng Yi would surely come. It was precisely because of this uncertainty that he didn't send out an invite, as he couldn't be sure of Feng Yi's physical condition.
Although Kexiao had logged off, the television ratings at that moment surged rather than decreased. Without a doubt, since Revenge Shadow Rider didn't log off immediately after the battle, it was evident that his mood was still good today, and he would selectively answer questions raised by lucky fans or the official website.
The Star Wars company's event hotline exploded instantly. Every audience member eager to participate was hopeful to become the lucky one. Right after the battle, Revenge Shadow Rider was instantly transported to the stadium.
It wasn't until he was transported to the stadium that Feng Yi suddenly realized, his thoughts consumed by the battle itself. He had forgotten to log off, and this maneuver by Star Wars left him feeling somewhat helpless and speechless.
To be honest, he had little interest in engaging in the Q&A. The awkwardness was evident on his face, but as the saying goes, strange becomes normal if encountered often enough. Since he didn't leave earlier, fleeing now seemed a bit off, so he might as well answer the questions.
The Q&A could also level up. Now the questions have escalated from one topic to three parts, and the lucky netizens would have one minute to compose congratulatory messages or raise their questions.
Part Two: Official forum topic voting. "Galactic Warfare" will select the most-voted question as the main Q&A topic. The decision is determined by the number of votes, without any room for fake votes. Each person has one vote and can upgrade their options in stages according to personal preference to prevent ballot stuffing by malicious click farms. Of course, for the "Revenge Shadow Rider" fanbase, a few thousand or even tens of thousands of bots are just a drop in the bucket, and no influencer can sway the public from asking the questions they really want answered.
Part Three is a special channel opened exclusively for "Shadow Rider" enthusiasts. Anyone who has ever promoted "Shadow Rider" or made contributions to "Galactic Warfare" might become one of these lucky participants. They get a chance to interact with "Revenge Shadow Rider," but they can also hold onto their opportunity. If there are no lucky players with questions this time, "Galactic Warfare" can pose reasonable questions to "Shadow Rider" on behalf of the officials.
These are the Q&A rules, almost like a talent show on a variety show. Of course, the public is not unfamiliar with these rules and is well aware that "Revenge Shadow Rider" is not fighting for commercial interests.
"Following tradition, it's time to move on to the lucky audience question segment. Dear audience, please take out your phones and send a text message to 888 888 8888888 or 666 666 6666666 for a chance to win a prize in the interactive session. Perhaps you'll be the next lucky viewer!"
The next lucky viewer, myself? Get out of here, buying a lottery ticket is much more likely than this, but this doesn't change the enthusiasm people have for "Revenge Shadow Rider." As Little Wu's voice rose, the excitement reached a boiling point, with many recklessly pulling out their phones to send texts, some even borrowing friends' phones—except there's only one phone, and everyone wants to use it. Who's going to lend to you?
A few minutes later, the session moved into the public questioning phase, officially represented by "Galactic Warfare." Little Wu, normally so sophisticated, was trembling with excitement at the prospect of posing a question. She actually stuttered for a moment, "Re, Revenge Shadow Rider, it's time for questions. May I ask you one?"
The room burst into laughter at Little Wu's flushed face, but many remained silent, understanding just how much courage it took to speak with such a legendary warrior.
"Anytime." "Revenge Shadow Rider" looked back at the guests and shrugged in his usual manner.
You just had to see it; even the formidable and hot-blooded warriors couldn't stay calm. Grand clenched his fist tightly towards "Revenge Shadow Rider." Sometimes men don't need many words to communicate, and though it's uncertain if "Revenge Shadow Rider" could see it, he just wanted to express his silent support in his own way.
Little Wu was extremely agitated, her normally smooth voice shaky, "Yes, it's like this, Revenge Shadow Rider, everyone is extremely curious about your identity. Rumor has it that you are General Feng Yi from the Federal Army, could there be any truth to that?"
Whoosh… the crowd erupted. Without a doubt, this was the question most people wanted to be answered, and it had been selected through countless community votes as the hottest topic.
Upon hearing this, "Shadow Rider" was also taken aback, clearly unwilling to respond to the question. In fact, if he had wanted to refute the rumor, he would have done so already, but he didn't. "No comment" was the short reply from "Revenge Shadow Rider." Although people cared about the topic, most could guess "Revenge Shadow Rider" would decline to answer. However, his lack of denial only fueled more speculation about his possible grievances with Feng Yi, given that "Shadow Rider" didn't outright dispel the rumors.
Little Wu looked down slightly, her disappointment evident as she said, "Thank you for your answer. Now let's welcome the second lucky viewer. Who could it be?"
As the numbers on the central screen kept changing, phone numbers from all major forces flashed across the screen until it finally settled on a number from Bergheide's forces. This lucky player from the Empire wasn't in the game and had to have "Galactic Warfare" represent their question.
But when they opened the text message, it was a question comparing the strengths of "Shadow Rider" and "Soaring Sword Dragon." Clearly, the anonymous player was a "Sword Dragon" fan, curiously asking if "Shadow Rider" believed he could defeat "Sword Dragon" in single combat?
Damn, such a silly question managed to make it through. Many in the crowd simultaneously expressed their discontent and protested. How could they know who would win if they'd never fought? It was obvious the text was sent carelessly. A valuable opportunity was wasted just like that. It seemed this damn company's "lucky" draw genuinely had no fix.
Everyone was taken aback as "Revenge Shadow Rider" actually addressed the question head-on…
