After burning countless brain cells, Feng Yi gradually came up with a terrible solution—he just had to opt out of the following battles to maintain his reputation. It was somewhat regrettable to say the least!

It wasn't particularly about winning or losing, but if he lost, it was hard to imagine the aftermath that would ensue—some might commit suicide, others might jump into rivers, and still others might go mad. These were all considerations he couldn't ignore, yet he also wanted to continue fighting and conquer new peaks.

Lost in thought, even the usually decisive Feng Yi found himself wavering. This battle, his opponent would be Hugo.

Hugo held high expectations for this battle, and God did not disappoint him. Being in the seventh sector, he was lucky enough to draw the Revenge Shadow Rider. When Hugo shared the news with his family, friends, and lover, everyone showed support like never before.

This child attended and actually got the chance to battle the Revenge Shadow Rider.

"Hello, Uncle Hugo." As the phone rang, a very adorable little tot popped up in the projection, a child from a relative's household.

Hugo first feigned surprise, then laughed and replied, "Oh, if it isn't Henry, aren't you going to school today?"

"Today is Tuesday; there are no classes in the afternoon."

Clearly guessing why the little boy had called, Hugo listened silently to the voice on the other end of the phone. The boy, somewhat embarrassed, said, "I heard Uncle Hugo is going to fight the Revenge Shadow Rider today, is that true?" It seemed like he was seeking confirmation from Hugo, skepticism in his tone, but more so, anticipation.

"Yes, your uncle will fight the Revenge Shadow Rider this afternoon."

"Could you get me an autograph from Shadow Rider? Uncle Hugo, I really like the Revenge Shadow Rider."

"I'll talk to him after the battle. I can't guarantee he will agree, but there's a condition—you'll need to exchange it for good grades." Hugo had a knack for handling children, brushing this matter aside casually. Elated by the proposition, Henry eagerly made the promise, and then hung up the phone.

After a series of phone calls, Hugo decisively shut off his mobile phone. These calls came from family, classmates, and friends; some were from people claiming to be elementary school classmates, some of whom Hugo didn't even recall, nor knew how they acquired his contact details.

Clearly, challenging the Revenge Shadow Rider wasn't such a bad thing; even if he failed, the very act was a source of immense pride. Especially for someone like Hugo, an ordinary individual unlike the other super soldiers from the federation, legacy children, academically aligned factions, or from military families—his progress to this stage was all achieved through outstanding feats and honors. Today, he finally stood on this grand stage, achieving his wish to face the Revenge Shadow Rider.

Five minutes before the battle, a dark beast Mecha sprinted and leaped into the battlefield. Hugo chose the Mecha Beast, not the popular Rally-9 model, last used during his final exchange with Ophelia.

Now, as Ophelia had continued to fight, in remembrance of Ophelia, and his own unwavering military career, Hugo resolutely chose the Mecha Beast, a model that had often accompanied him on missions, as his partner.

Stepping onto the battlefield, the crowd was astonished; Hugo, set to fight the Revenge Shadow Rider, had chosen the Mecha Beast. Did he still stand a chance? Indeed, Hugo's patriotism was worth learning from. However, he was ultimately just a warrior at the Red Cloak stage.

But in the next second, something unbelievably incredible happened. The Revenge Shadow Rider appeared in the center of the battlefield, at some unknown time. The machine he rode wasn't the usual black Mecha often used in the Mecha Battles, but Phantom Knight 0001, this very familiar old friend.

As for how Shadow Rider got there, nobody knew. Any miraculous event happening with the Revenge Shadow Rider was no longer shocking. Feng Yi remarked he obviously came by teleportation, just like when he rescued Apophis.

Upon seeing Phantom Knight 0001, countless audience members shed tears on the spot. The Revenge Shadow Rider's usual Mecha model for Galactic Warfare? People's thoughts suddenly returned to the era when they had first met him, as if it were another lifetime.

Unexpectedly, the Revenge Shadow Rider switched to 0001 for the battle against Hugo, enough to signify the Shadow Rider's respect for Hugo, for a true warrior. The moment it touched the ground, cheers erupted on the scene, and countless people watching on their TVs also felt moved, reminiscing about the beautiful times of that war-torn era.

This was a fair duel, and people felt as if they could see the familiar ID on the upper part of the Mecha model 0001. Now, that man had come again, or perhaps he had never really left, always buried deep in an immovable corner of people's hearts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, there are only 5 minutes left before the battle begins. We can hear the intermittent cheers from the field, some cheering for Revenge Shadow Rider and some for Hugo. I believe this will be a match you won't want to miss."

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the camera quickly switched to several special guests sitting nearby, "Miss Charlotte, it is said that you have an indissoluble bond with Revenge Shadow Rider. Seeing this familiar Mecha so close to us, do you have anything you'd like to say?"

"I never expected Revenge Shadow Rider to operate this Mecha and appear on the battlefield; it brings back so many memories. I especially remember the first time I made a video about Revenge Shadow Rider, working all night, I was very satisfied then. I felt that he was a special presence and would bring more thrilling battles to everyone. It turns out that Shadow Rider not only achieved this but also gained worldwide recognition. I am thankful for my choices back then and grateful for Revenge Shadow Rider. If not for Revenge Shadow Rider, my life might not be what it is today. Other than being excited, I don't know what to say—Victory for Revenge Shadow Rider! Of course, Hugo should also do his best."

"Thank you for your response, Miss Charlotte—Let's switch the camera back to the battlefield."

As the commentator's voice rose again, the camera quickly switched back to the two fighters on the field. At this moment, there were only 3 minutes and 12 seconds left for adjustments before the fight. During this brief period, players could no longer change equipment, but they could freely tune their Mechas to adapt performance, such as running and throwing punches, to get accustomed to the controls early on.

Officially, that's true, but in reality, no contestant could truly wait until just before the battle to adapt; the brief adjustment time was merely a formality. Once on the battlefield, minute tuning rarely impacted the fight itself—it was more about the pilot's own qualities.

The audience watched as everyone who needed to arrive had arrived, and those who shouldn't be there were also present, such as the Pirate King Bruce.

Hey, Bruce surprisingly didn't ride that bio-Mecha; he really is an arrogant man. Bruce vividly remembered the scene back on Death Planet when the Mecha piloted by Revenge Shadow Rider was originally his own. It had fallen into the hands of Shadow Rider because of the meddling of the Soaring Sword Dragon and Duolin.

But, so be it, after all, Mechas weren't of much use to him anyway. As for his notorious top fighter title, plainly speaking, it was just a deterrent. This was not only a deterrent to the space pirates but also served as a deterrent to some extent to various countries. Otherwise, how could his pirate gang swim through the vast space so easily?

Unspoken understanding still makes good friendships. It was precisely because Feng Yi understood this that Bruce somewhat reluctantly cooperated with that guy during the turbulent times. If Bruce truly had top-level Mecha piloting skills, how could he miss such a grand occasion? Yet, many people believed the rumors.

"Luo'er, who do you think will win this battle?"

"Revenge Shadow Rider."

"And our plan, what's the probability of it succeeding?"

"Ninety percent, provided we avoid Saudi, Hell's Gate, and the Federation."

"Ha, you're that wary of Kexiao, Roland, and that guy on the field? But you're right, it's better not to provoke these three lightly."
