Mingfei complained incessantly in her heart while walking... The Military Department had no idea that Mengdie had only a deep understanding of her domain; it was very difficult for her to suppress Feng Yi's true strength. It wasn't like they hadn't clashed in the single combat network before, and Mengdie even struggled to break Feng Yi's defense. Her spiritual technique suppression was almost ineffective — and Feng Yi, still as long as he didn't move, even though Mengdie's movement was unparalleled, as long as she was hit solidly by Feng Yi, a single blow could severely injure her, or even take Mengdie's life.
The central competition zone was now attracting more and more spectators... The focus of their discussions was only one: who could possibly be the opponent of Revenge Shadow Rider, and this was too exciting!
The person in charge of the Weibang competition zone was also paying close attention to this matter. Although the atmosphere indoors couldn't be called too heavy, as soon as Reiko's Heavenly Communication was made, silence instantly fell around, and from the other side of the communication came the benevolent voice of an old man, "Reiko, have you decided to challenge Revenge Shadow Rider now?"
"Yes."
"Are you confident you can put up an exciting fight? This is about national pride."
"I'm not sure about my chances, but my only goal is to defeat him."
The old man suddenly laughed. He had been waiting for this very response from Reiko. "Go, child, and show the world the real you."
With the communication hung up, the Weibang competitor's area instantly burst into uproar... Even Lily, her younger sister, was puzzled at this moment. Her older sister had always been able to remain calm in any situation, yet today she had taken the initiative to seek battle, and against Revenge Shadow Rider at that. Ah, facing Revenge Shadow Rider, it was hard to know if it was his fortune or misfortune.
Now, countries were at a loss over who should challenge Shadow Rider, with the fight being a situation where choosing to battle was problematic but not fighting was even worse. It was then that the Weibang spokesperson first stepped forward with a challenge declaration.
The major forces were all watching each other. If the spot was so desirable, everyone would be scrambling for it, and it would never have come to Weibang's turn. But it was indeed a chance to stand out. A few minutes later, as the big screen numerals switched, the information about Revenge Shadow Rider's opponent suddenly appeared — she was the Weibang's Reiko, acclaimed as one of the 12 stars.
Even Kexiao, normally as quiet as a still well, felt some excitement upon hearing this news. He made a point of going to the competition area himself. He wanted to see with his own eyes just how terrifying the rumored strongest defense was. It had to be said that Weibang had always been too low-profile, which is why people had so little impression of this rumored 12 star, sparking the public's curiosity.
It's important to note that in the last fight, the man in white conceded defeat entirely because of Reiko's extreme defensive capabilities. But Revenge Shadow Rider was different, would it not be too presumptuous to step up so boldly against him?
Media from all countries were frantically reporting on this information, with many people rapidly gathering data on Reiko. Finally, a piece of shocking news quickly spread like wildfire among the crowd!
If the previous loss of the man in white to Reiko could be attributed to other factors, then the fact that Raymond, ranked as one of the top three starters, also lost to Reiko left no room for luck; it was a clear demonstration of real strength.
Not only that, but Raymond was even more tragically defeated than the man in white had been, completely toyed with by Reiko between rounds of applause, proving Reiko to be a natural nemesis of offensive fighters, with a defensive awareness even surpassing that of top-tier warriors.
As information about Reiko was revealed one after another, the atmosphere on the scene became unprecedentedly heated...
Compared to the Revenge Shadow Rider camp, the joy in the hearts of the Weibang crowd was wholly evident on their faces. Although Revenge Shadow Rider was a bug, Reiko was the presence that could restrain a bug.
Hisss hisss hisss hisss, the Shield Strike Gundam made a dashing Z-shaped move through the void and thunderously landed in the arena, standing face to face with Revenge Shadow Rider, not far from him.
This battle attracted countless eyes, be it Kexiao, Soaring Sword Dragon, Blue Electric Rain, or even Dilia, the Federation, as well as the commentators and guests like the General Greedy Wolf on scene, whose hearts were filled with immense anticipation.
The large screen split into two, displaying various statistics for both competitors, but the crowd didn't care about these numbers. When couldn't they look at data? Their attention was wholly fixed on the two individuals about to fight.
Jiu Ling couldn't understand why Reiko wanted to stick her neck out like this. Given her abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for her to reach the end of the main competition, "Kexiao, do you think Reiko stands a chance?"
"Heh, maybe that's hard to say," Kexiao didn't know how to answer; he had never paid attention to Reiko, not once. In this world, there were only two people who had ever caught Kexiao's attention—one was Feng Yi, the other was Roland.
However, Kexiao's answer obviously shocked Jiu Ling. She sneaked a glance at Kexiao and did not find any other emotion in his gaze.
Since there was no virtual map matching inside the arena, the battle quickly entered the countdown phase. When the buzzer sounded, Reiko didn't initiate an attack or suppression immediately, "Are you the rumored Revenge Shadow Rider?"
Shadow Rider did not move, did not respond, as if acquiescing. In fact, those who knew the personality of the Revenge Shadow Rider were clear that it would not waste words on such meaningless questions.
Reiko was not surprised; after all, the Revenge Shadow Rider was a special existence, a worthy opponent. But myths would eventually come to an end. Reiko drew her lightsaber and immediately executed a standard salute with her sword, "Weibang's Reiko challenges you."
Shadow Rider also drew out his black blade in response. The black blade reflected a dark light under the artificial sun.
Feng Yi's mood at this moment was calm, yet he couldn't conceal his excitement. He had indeed witnessed the battle between Reiko and Raymond before, and it had indeed left a deep impression on him.
With an idea to test, he thrust out a sword first. As the engine roared instantaneously, Reiko seemed to be able to predict the Revenge Shadow Rider's movements, dodging in advance and avoiding the attack. As a result, the Revenge Shadow Rider's thrust missed. Although there was no change due to missing the target, it was enough to show how terrifying Reiko's abilities were—she could even easily dodge the Revenge Shadow Rider's attacks. Could she actually have the chance to defeat Shadow Rider? This thought inevitably arose in people's minds.
The Weibang audience was excited. Oh God, they didn't know Reiko was this powerful. Should the history of the 12 Stars be rewritten?
The Revenge Shadow Rider, after a missed strike, quickly turned and delivered a horizontal sweep with his black blade, changing his attack.
But Reiko successfully dodged it again, even faster than before. It seemed she was now able to anticipate and counter any move from the Revenge Shadow Rider.
An instant of change immediately resulted in a collective gasp from the audience...
This raised the question—was the reputation of the Revenge Shadow Rider exaggerated, or was Reiko simply too strong, so much so that even the Revenge Shadow Rider couldn't suppress her?
"Incredible, Reiko has dodged the Revenge Shadow Rider's pressure twice in a row," the presenter's words vibrated with excitement, "Everyone can see that the Revenge Shadow Rider's attacks are not working, even being easily dodged by Reiko. Old General, could you share your thoughts on the two contestants?"
Greedy Wolf said, "I don't know much about Reiko, but from that beautiful evasion just now, it's apparent she has excellent insight and rapid reflexes. It's not hard to guess that her defensive instincts have formed a muscle memory reflex. As for the Revenge Shadow Rider's two unsuccessful attacks, I believe this is still the probing stage; it's very difficult to say who is stronger at the moment."
Feng Yi frowned slightly; Reiko's reaction was indeed quick. He smiled satisfactorily, and his mecha operation speed began to climb rapidly...
Boom! Accompanied by the roaring of the engine, the Revenge Shadow Rider's hand speed, maintained at 200 cards, jumped an entire level to 300 cards in an instant. This was in line with the usual operating style of the Revenge Shadow Rider, where a burst-type warrior's hand speed would tend to stack in stages instead of climbing gradually.
Shadow Rider thrust out with his sword, aiming directly at his opponent. The scene appeared to be in fast-forward.
Reiko's expression did not change; she was even more relaxed than before, finding it too slow and uncomfortable. But if the Revenge Shadow Rider only had this level of ability, that would be somewhat of an exaggeration.
With a swift side leap, Shield Strike quickly dodged, avoiding Shadow Rider's third sword thrust.
