The event organizers had contacted Star Wars Company a few days ago, hoping Star Wars Company would submit a promotional video for Shadow Rider, not too long, but mainly considering the special relationship between Star Wars and Revenge Shadow Rider, and the universally acknowledged public impact.

Hans, having received the news, was so excited that he couldn't sleep that night, and he had his staff working overtime, revising countless short video proposals. The footage included real battlefield records as well as those miraculous comebacks in the game that one never tires of watching.

Hans himself originally had a collection of all battle-related material of Revenge Shadow Rider, but despite numerous selections, he still wasn't completely satisfied with the various carefully crafted promotions; they were all spectacular, but Hans felt they lacked something. The fact that the organizers could contact Star Wars Company for such an important occasion was enough to prove the trust the public and Revenge Shadow Rider had in him. Hans overturned all video promotions and finally decided to show the most plain and real side of Revenge Shadow Rider from a unique perspective.

Meanwhile, the central promotional image on the screen gradually came into being...

This was a short video that had been reviewed countless times by Galactic Warfare. Although the video was short, only a few seconds long, whenever the BGM started to play, and whenever the screen flashed for an instant, all members of the production team and every employee felt an inexplicable pride, a kind of indescribable emotion, like a blazing flame.

The BGM silently started to play, which was Shadow Rider's arena music "Boundary Breakthrough," with its soothing melody climbing progressively...

Yet, as the world watched intently, the screen still showed darkness—no, that was the black mecha body of Revenge Shadow Rider, and because of the slow movement of the camera, people's gaze could only follow gradually moving to the upper body of Revenge Shadow Rider.

The motionless mecha, set against a gloomy tone, looked even more imposing with a battle intent, and as the lens gradually zoomed out along with the rising melody of the BGM, the full body of Shadow Rider slowly appeared before the public.

At this moment, the BGM had reached its climax. Suddenly, the dim center of the screen was engulfed by an explosion of flames, and before the flames had time to die down, it was replaced by an X-shaped gleam that flashed by in an instant.

—Flame Dual Slash, and suddenly the center of the screen shattered, the image splitting into four. When the shattered screen completely broke apart and disappeared, the frozen frame of Revenge Shadow Rider reappeared, after the sweeping aftermath of Flame Dual Slash.

After a brief silence at the venue, the crowd fell into a frenzied roar... Although the scene wasn't overly extravagant, the shock behind the simplicity touched everyone, the Flame Dual Slash unique and unmatched—a technique that others couldn't replicate.

At this moment, every employee at Star Wars Company was buzzing with excitement. They flipped over tables and chairs, immersing themselves in the brief beauty. As a Sword Holder, Hans paid no attention; he could feel the uncontrollable excitement in the hearts of each employee. Although Hans appeared calm on the outside, he clenched his fists tightly, his body quivering as he felt the passion of Shadow Rider, his own blood seemingly ignited in that moment.

This was the incomparable influence of Revenge Shadow Rider, affecting everyone, an unshakable presence in people's hearts, with just a single promo instantly sending the domestic and foreign scenes into a frenzy.

When the Shadow Rider promotional video ended, nearly twenty percent of the audience slowly left the venue, many of whom were there to see Revenge Shadow Rider, not caring about the promotion of other contestants.

Several recommendations made it to the bye list, like Valan's Mansfield, Pross's Heinsilio, who could be categorized as bye spots in their respective major competitive areas.

But once the opening performance phase ended and the real battle of Xiuluo commenced, early fights were mostly garbage time. Due to an excessive number of entrants, it was not possible to match Advanced pilots in every round, and often not a single exciting contest would be seen for hours or even days, which is why the media attention wasn't high, focusing instead more on the potential popularization of personnel and related reports from various countries.

And during such garbage time, you could freely wander around the Dragon Gate space station, buy some clothes you like, stroll through the commercial districts, or simply engage in some of mankind's more intimate pleasures to amuse yourself.

However, what the public cared about the most was still the food, as is well known that Dragon Gate space station gathers specialty foods from around the world. Feng Yi, naturally not being an exception, visited quite a few places during this not too long yet not too short period. Due to his unique personal status, he decided to step out of the Federal competitive area and take a look around the neighborhood, with Hell's Gate, Zana, Rekart, and Saudi all being the closest competitive regions from the Federal district.

As time tick-tocked closer to 9 o'clock, Feng Yi, passing through Zana, leisurely decided to find a seat in a nearby arena to watch.

Indeed, that day's match lineup only featured two high-profile battles, with the battles taking place at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., respectively.

The 9 a.m. match featured the Princess Dilia of the Diya Alliance battling the Federal super-soldier.

One was hailed as a 12-star superstar, and the other was Ophelia, known as "the Sword of Phoenix." The fight that was full of highlights had gained the world's attention even before it began, and countless bettors were placing their bets...

As everyone knew, Ophelia was an experienced warrior, having been through numerous battles, whereas the 12-star Dilia had an average battle record with little information available, likely due to political factors, which is why she had that title. For this reason, most bettors were wagering on Ophelia—f***, she better not lose.
