On this day, Revenge Shadow Rider did not descend from the sky as usual but instead walked directly into the contestant area from the main gate of the competition area in a way that was unprecedented, as if silently responding to Kexiao or perhaps harboring some other intentions.

The unexpected shift immediately had people scaling to the tops of buildings, and the entire competition area's crowd was suddenly drawn to this shocking news. Now, the Federation's competition area was packed to capacity. Some people took out their Light Screen cameras to shoot constantly, and numerous reporters used their impassioned voices to repeatedly assault people's nerves. Many who hadn't come here simply regretted wanting to bang their heads against the wall—if only they had known that Revenge Shadow Rider would appear in this manner, they would have come even if it meant borrowing money.

Thankfully, security personnel were present to prevent people from breaking through the barrier.

Xiu Yi, who had been roughing it for so long, was used to seeing strange things on big and small occasions, but had never felt the numbness of so many eyes focused on him. Even Red Ghost was a bit nervous at that moment.

Apart from this, some people had also noticed something quite off. It was well-known that Revenge Shadow Rider always acted alone, as elusive as a dragon, never showing a habit of teaming up, let alone mentioning teammates.

Even during the war era, whether it was one-on-one or one-against-many, he always fought alone, maintaining a legendary lone wolf image. Why, then, did he unusually choose to team up with others today?

The moment the news was out, it caused a stir inside and outside the arena. "My God, Lord, Revenge Shadow Rider actually found teammates. Would his two opponents at least possess the skills of top-tier pilots?" Regardless of in games, in reality, or in military super-soldier confrontations, team battles were already a common sight. But Revenge Shadow Rider was proud. Why would he form a team? This topic suddenly became the focus of discussion among people at the space station.

Getting the news, everyone at the space station sensed something unusual. Sky Shadow stared intently at the live broadcast, seemingly lost in thought…

"Feng Yi, could it be that you really have…" Sky Shadow asked himself, his gaze unusually emotional. His iron fist clenched and then released repeatedly. Most people might not know about this situation, but Feng Yi had once confided his health condition to Sky Shadow and asked him to keep it a secret. He hadn't expected this day to come so abruptly; he was completely unprepared.

In Sky Shadow's heart, Feng Yi had always been the goal he aspired to surpass. His departure didn't bring much sadness to Sky Shadow; rather, it was more about commemoration, remembrance, loss, and an indescribable feeling of emptiness, as if suddenly losing something.

Without him, the winner of the Mecha Battle competition would undoubtedly be Kexiao. Losing to Feng Yi was somewhat acceptable since losing to him didn't seem strange to anyone. This could serve well to conceal himself, giving him more time to grow. But if it were Kexiao, he would definitely fight with all his might. No, he must complete his body transplant as soon as possible. In this moment, Sky Shadow finally made a life decision—to go to Maraca Freedom Port and find Blade Warrior.

Greedy Wolf, in charge of the Federation competition area, also had his facial expression change dramatically at that moment. Revenge Shadow Rider appearing and also bringing along three seemingly not very strong opponents in the waiting area for contestants was unbelievable. Surely something had gone wrong. Filling with various suspicions, Greedy Wolf immediately dialed Feng Yi through Heavenly Communication. He had long known the true identity of Revenge Shadow Rider, and in usual conversations, Greedy Wolf often touched on this topic. Feng Yi wasn't a fool; if he didn't want to reveal it, no amount of questioning would work.

On the contrary, Feng Yi was very wise. Precisely because he understood this critical relationship, he had opted to play the lone ranger, and it was even less likely for him to appear in this manner without reason—unless he wasn't confident about defeating Kexiao and wanted to use this method to lessen his public influence. Clueless, Greedy Wolf could only console himself like this; sometimes, even he couldn't understand this kid's maneuvers.

In the Saudi competition area, the backup team was performing the final checks on Savior. Kexiao somehow heard some intelligence and seemed quite indifferent, chuckling, "Heh, he always thinks of ways to bring out some new tricks."

Regrettably shaking his head, Feng Yi was already accustomed to Kexiao's habitual operations and, of course, was not swayed by rumors. However, who could have anticipated the blame-shifting incident from the day before yesterday, and today, yet another drama of team formation unfolding? It truly was something to look forward to.

When the countdown reached 10 minutes, Xiu Yi controlled the black Mecha and stepped into the arena foot by foot, where Revenge Shadow Rider appeared before the public in a brand-new style that no one had ever seen. This was replaced by cheer after cheer that resounded throughout the venue, rising and falling, the obsessed crowd shouting incessantly and wildly waving their shirts in the air as if only such gestures were worthy of Revenge Shadow Rider's arrival.

Listening to the waves of voices hitting him, Xiu Yi closed his eyes and felt the sensations Feng Yi had once experienced. This legacy from the giants was so heavy, yet he had to face it. At that moment, Xiu Yi realized—no matter the cost, he must fight till the very end.

At that moment, a vast engine roar swept through their ears, shhh, shhh, shhh, and in the sky above, the Savior performed a series of Z-moves with a difficulty level of 9.0, an unachievable feat for Xiu Yi. Accompanied by the thunderous trembling of the earth, a pure white Gundam plummeted down to the center of the arena, only then did the noise inside and outside the venue gradually subside.

Today, a duel fated by destiny, also an unavoidable battle for anyone. Kexiao had long been conscious of this fact—perhaps only one of them, him or Feng Yi, might walk out of here, they might even die together in battle, or one could end unconscious, but regardless, after this battle, he would no longer meddle in politics and would return to pastoral life to explore a life he had never experienced before.

At this moment, Kexiao carried an air about him that was sharp to the extreme, calm as a lake yet seemingly like a volcano ready to erupt at any time, giving an ethereal and barely tangible low-profile presence.

At this time, the crowds inside and outside the venue were in frenzy, the scene reporters undoubtedly used their highest voices to roar out, but apart from this, the originally restless crowd regained a semblance of sanity. Although there was still excitement between the two sides, neither side had absolute confidence in their supported fighter.

One was the elusive Revenge Shadow Rider, unparalleled before or after, his spirit unshakeable, his power unbeatable, an eternally undefeated warrior.

The other was the most outstanding general of the age, Kexiao—his brilliance surpassed the era, and his meticulous mind was unmatched. Kexiao was the perfect embodiment, the only person on this earth who could match Revenge Shadow Rider.

The battle had not yet begun, but the atmosphere at the scene had reached an indescribable peak; everyone's emotions fluctuated moment to moment because of the two competitors. As the buzzer sounded, the noisy venue plunged into an unprecedented silence.

Kexiao had no intention of attacking, as if observing an old friend quietly. The people in the venue did not feel curious; everyone could wait, or perhaps, they wished the wait could be drawn out longer, long enough to carefully speculate on the psychological dynamics of both sides—this moment would be recorded in history, determining who was the most powerful Mecha warrior in the world.

After what felt like an eternity, Kexiao finally spoke softly, as if sighing, "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Revenge Shadow Rider remained true to his style of being stern and not talkative, not saying a word while coldly staring at his opponent.

Kexiao wanted to say more, sometimes, he really hoped to find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart with Feng Yi over a good drink, but he never spoke up because he didn't know whether the one to fall would be his opponent or himself, perhaps saving these words for the end would be better.
