Compared to the extreme absoluteness of the Revenge Shadow Rider, Kexiao leaned more towards perfection. His broad sense of perfection was completely opposite to that of the Revenge Shadow Rider, which sought to push limits, leading to the creation of the Revenge Shadow Rider's theme music—Breaking Boundaries.
Theoretically speaking, the strength and heart resilience of the Revenge Shadow Rider should surpass Kexiao.
Kexiao's strength lies in his ability to solve any situation he faces, while the unique nature of the Revenge Shadow Rider gives a feeling as if no matter how much effort one exerts, it will all feel as if hitting cotton—a jarring illusion.
If we say that as an individual soldier, Feng Yi can still hold certain advantages, then Kexiao's strategies should surpass those of Feng Yi, even having long surpassed him. However, the two remain on the same level, never pulling too far apart, which led to Kexiao not achieving a unified state of mind and body in his three-front battles, leading to his eventual defeat.
If Feng Yi were in Kexiao's position, he definitely wouldn't do better than Kexiao. Feng Yi had to face three enemies at once, including a Kexiao; how could he possibly be Kexiao's match in such a scenario?
But, no, something was different, perhaps different from what she thought—Feng Yi had once single-handedly established the Blazing Army, led the remaining resistance in rebellion and alliance, revived Mardis, and had overnight reclaimed the Level 2 Resource Star of Alpha. Although years had passed since those epic historical dramas, with the reset of the Galactic Warfare epic battlefield, history could constantly replay in this game...
Jiu Ling could easily come up with an explanation: Hans wasn't about recreating the real battlefield; it was all for the Revenge Shadow Rider, recreating the storyline of each of its past battles. Although she found this a bit tedious, fighting with the Feng Yi of the past, whether as an opponent or ally, would allow her to absorb some experience, which was quite beneficial.
'Huff huff... Galactic Warfare isn't that bad, wait, how did I end up daydreaming myself to another world?'
Jiu Ling propped her sharp chin, pondering, "Hmm... As far as I know, there's no Feng Yi among the Federation's combat personnel. I really can't figure out how you can be so sure he's coming?"
Jiu Ling appeared puzzled but was actually trying to get a definitive answer from Kexiao.
"Intuition. As his opponent, my intuition is usually accurate, but it's also because of what I know about Feng Yi."
"No way, he's not the kind of person who would be bored enough to break the rules."
"Hehe, I guess there aren't a hundred combatants in the Federation."
"How do you know?"
Kexiao didn't answer this question, instead saying, "Since the Federation's published data doesn't mention Feng Yi, it's highly likely that he's gone missing again. If I were a higher-up, I would definitely leave a spot for Feng Yi—besides that."
"Besides that, what?" Jiu Ling asked.
With a slight smile, Kexiao shook his head and explained to Jiu Ling, "Feng Yi may not help someone unrelated to him. He also has his own matters to attend to and his own concerns. It's possible, just possible, that he won't participate in this battle, but I still believe Feng Yi will come."
"Ah! Why... why?"
"Because there's someone in the Federal team he wants to protect—hehe, maybe even you are on his list."
"Me...?" Jiu Ling felt unexpectedly cheerful.
"But he wouldn't specifically come to help Saudi, though."
"Because you're here, is that why?"
"That's part of it. Hehe, it seems I don't need you to convey that message for me after all."
"That message..."
As thoughts flipped in Jiu Ling's mind, she suddenly remembered the Border Planet Battle and realized Kexiao's final farewell.
At that time, Kexiao had said to her, "Jiu Ling, if you ever meet Feng Yi someday, please pass on a message to him for me, just tell him..."
Now it finally made sense why Kexiao chose death back then.
Not out of fear, not out of escape—it was his chosen way. Detonating the artificial Black Hole would cause many deaths; accompanying those soldiers on their journey was the best account this extraordinary general could give to his soldiers and their families.
Kexiao knew that in subsequent battles, Feng Yi would still be in command, and his opponent would be there, which allowed him to leave with peace of mind.
This is Kexiao, someone who never needed others to understand or explain anything. He was never a cold general; like the Revenge Shadow Rider, he had a warrior's proud spirit.
"Thank you, Kexiao, I believe he will come because it's you who said it."
Kexiao didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer, speaking sternly, "Keep a close eye on the situation then. I can't say how strong the Titan Elves are, but at least they're superior to humans, excluding those at Feng Yi's level—maybe Mengdie of the Jade Clear Sect could be an exception, but others would find it hard to gain an advantage against them. Based on the current rules and team setup, I believe you'll make the most correct judgment."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Ling furrowed her brows tightly, sensing through Kexiao's words the danger and unpredictability involved. The biggest issue remained the absence of Kexiao in the team, yet even so, even with her and the combination of Heifeng Xia Mu Mu Tou, it was already considered a main force within Saudi.
At best, it could only match a first-tier team of the Federation.
She sighed deeply, "Is it possible for us to find any external reinforcements?"
"External reinforcements..." Kexiao suddenly remembered someone, then looked at his own body, gently shaking his head, thinking that Mo Ying should be out of the question; his current state wasn't stable.
"Oh, right."
Something suddenly came to mind, and he quickly pulled out an adhesive substance, the same thing that Feng Yi had given him when he was still in a woman's body for cover.
Kexiao explained to Jiu Ling that it was something currently inconvenient to disclose the specific origin of, but its greatest utility was the ability to merge things together to form new entities, even including humans, allowing them to merge or split. Whether it could improve strength, one could try bringing someone over for a test.
Jiu Ling's gaping mouth could hold several eggs, "Kexiao, since when did you start liking cold jokes?"
"Hmm, have I ever made such a joke?"
This... seems like he actually never has. Jiu Ling pointed at the mysterious item, "You say it can merge people."
"It can, it can, though I'm not sure how effective it is in enhancing individual level."
"If you're sure, we could... also give it a try, wait." Jiu Ling suddenly realized that she was female, and Kexiao was male. Even if Kexiao's words were true, even if the fusion succeeded, wouldn't the result be a hermaphrodite? She didn't want to be a hermaphrodite!
Uh... this... Kexiao was just about to say hold on; he wasn't ready mentally for merging with anyone either. If he had to pick someone to merge with, it certainly wouldn't be... Luckily, Jiu Ling called a stop first, or else he would have immediately called a halt too. Find someone else to merge with, just not me.
