Feng Yi desperately wanted to trust himself, but blind faith wouldn't reverse his disadvantage. If simply believing could solve all problems, there wouldn't be individuals suffering from delusional disorders in this world. At this moment, Feng Yi's clothes were soaked in sweat.

The disadvantage imposed by the limited power of his mech, the Shadow Rider, was continuously amplified. At this point, Feng Yi was like a sturdy rock destined to be eroded by dripping water. Furthermore, he had lost satellite locking during the space battle, making it impossible to trace the Silver Sword in the images flooded by the shotgun cannon.

"Revenge Shadow Rider, you're quite a disappointment to me."

The Silver Sword suddenly uttered these words under the watchful eyes of the audience. Such verbal assaults were clearly unnecessary against the Shadow Rider at this point. But this was Lily's typical combat style.

For the first time, the Federal netizens felt an urge to curse. Unfortunately, heroes were always evaluated by their victories or defeats. The defeated did not enjoy the right to retort. Even the Federal Military Department was getting antsy now. The Shadow Rider was failing miserably. This was turning into an embarrassing defeat before a foreign audience, likely to become a laughingstock amongst the public afterwards.

Netizens supporting the Revenge Shadow Rider also understood that he was not a God, but a soldier. Under such disparity in conditions, even the ace up one's sleeve could be easily annihilated. The performance match was turning into a one-man show by the Silver Sword.

The expressions of players and spectators in the VIP seats of the three alliances were varied. Some regretted, some felt helpless, and some gloated. Weibang's remarks were indeed excessive, but no one would redress them. After all, this was a battle, not child's play. Letting the Shadow Rider determine the winner had never been a wise move made by the Federation.

At the start, allies of Yingland held high hopes for the Revenge Shadow Rider. Now they could only attribute the Revenge Shadow Rider's victory over Jiu Ling to mere luck. The extraordinary movement observed in the video was covertly studied by the allies of Yingland. Even the best players in white would have difficulties replicating it.

A shotgun cannon barely missed the Shadow Rider, while several more were successfully blocked by the alloy knife. And then came a wave of concentrated fire - dozens, tens of dozens, nearly a hundred rounds.

The Silver Knight's type-C device had an automatic loading speed that was completely incomparable to the Shadow Rider's. The Shadow Rider was like a rope bearing a thousand jun, eventually snapping under the unbearable pressure.

Seeing the Shadow Rider riddled with wounds under the unbearable stress, the Federal netizens couldn't bear to watch. For all of them, the Shadow Rider's failure signified more than just a common defeat, but rather the collapse of collective faith. Once certain beliefs were deeply rooted in their hearts, they could hardly be eradicated.

Could he continue his miracle streak and battle until the very end? No one knew the answer. Hans' hospitalized daughter was also watching the live broadcast at this moment. Unlike the others, she was silently praying for the Shadow Rider in her heart.

Facing the relentless suppression of the Silver Knight, the Shadow Rider ceased resisting, a sight that no one wanted to witness. Resistance signified hope. However, the Revenge Shadow Rider suddenly became completely unguarded as if he knew the result already.

But everyone was wrong. Only the warriors who fall possess an unyielding spirit. The Shadow Rider never compromised, and a true champion never admits defeat. In a swift spin and maneuver, the auxiliary booster flashed, and the Revenge Shadow Rider successfully maneuvered its massive body to dodge a barrage blocking its path by a 720-degree spin in the void.

However, this wasn't enough to handle the subsequent attacks and instead increased the exposure surface. With nearly a hundred shotgun rounds fired all at once, it was practically inescapable. Bullets and lasers followed in hot pursuit, with lasers unable to penetrate through a shotgun barrage to hit the Silver Knight.

Oh God, even if the Devil himself descended it would be impossible to save the Shadow Rider now. If they could exchange a few years of their lifespan for one victory of the Shadow Rider, countless people would undoubtedly choose to do so.

Meanwhile, the Revenge Shadow Rider fired a shot from an impossible angle at the Silver Knight, a sight that Weibang deemed as merely a desperate struggle. The system captured this critical move in an almost frame-by-frame slow motion.

Squeak, squeak, crack!

Everything fell silent momentarily. People had no idea what had happened. The paused time, the paused action. The only things remaining in the frame were the two players and a white light that had become the sole focus of the battlefield...

The laser accurately hit the shot-gun cannon, with most of its force reflecting off the bullets while a small amount got absorbed. The light then reflected, bounced and bounced again... After an uninterrupted series of seven reflections, a dazzling light formed a refraction trajectory and violently crashed into the weak defense of the Silver Knight's ammo rack, sparking a brilliant flame in the dead silence of space.

The victor: Revenge Shadow Rider.

But all of it was in vain, the laser beam could not possibly hit— wait, Revenge Shadow Rider? To hell with it not being able to hit. The people were still stuck in the mindset based on the scene just a moment ago. When they heard the battle had ended, the Federal netizens were dumbfounded!

That's right, the Revenge Shadow Rider isn't just any devil. He's a nightmare that ends all geniuses. The audience stands exploded. People could no longer contain their emotions. The ecstatic audience of the Federation stood up collectively. They waved anything they could swing in their hands.

Even bystanders on the streets and in the squares could no longer control their excitement. An exaggerated old woman holding a basket of vegetables couldn't stop shouting, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh."

The Silver Sword was so awesome, just when Weibang's fans were about to shout and cheer for their goddess of war for easily defeating the opponent, all their joys were shattered by the Shadow Rider's astounding shot. The Weibang side was like having something choking in their throat. It felt as uncomfortable as being abruptly stopped in the middle of taking off their pants.

For some, it was joy, for others, sorrow. Audience members on the opposing side sat there, eyes wide, as if they had just witnessed something unimaginable.

Yes, the horror of the Revenge Shadow Rider didn't lie in his strength, but rather his rate of improvement and his unpredictable moves that caught everyone off-guard. Jiu Ling's technique didn't work. The fact that the Shadow Rider had gotten this far proved that his victory was not due to luck, but solid strength.

The bosses of the four alliances looked at each other in bewilderment, a huge question mark harbored in their minds. How was this possible? Even though the shotgun cannon made of tin had some optical refraction properties, what they saw and heard still seemed fantastical beyond belief.

There are countless cases of the world record for laser jumps, but achieving seven consecutive jumps with a laser seems rather unbelievable. If the shot made by Shadow Rider wasn't just a lucky guess, that's terrifying. Can a blind cat run into two dead mice in a row under a probability of one in a trillion? The odds are apparently lower than choking on one's own spit. This guy possesses terrifying strength in both long and short-range combat, and both are of the world's top standard.

If this battle isn't enough to prove anything, all the major powers might as well pack up and leave. Revenge Shadow Rider has never been defeated, like a mountain pressing down on the heads of every genius, the strength of looking up to the high mountain! How formidable is Weibang? A casual explosion! Looking at the federal population of 2 trillion people, how many dare to claim victory over Revenge Shadow Rider? Lily has calculated thousands of times, but she never figured that Revenge Shadow Rider was just not taking her seriously.

The production of the post-match video will take some time, but the expert skills analysis is already out, and the results are terrifying. Shadow Rider grasped a fleeting 0.07-second timing window. If the trajectory deviated slightly more, if the angle was a bit slower, Revenge Shadow Rider fully captured the fleeting opportunity. His insight has reached a terrifying level!

Among them are some netizens who have a skeptical attitude. Is Shadow Rider suspicious of cheating? At this time, there were a lot of complaints in the field. Even the professional commentators and veteran Red Cloak guests did not dare to make hasty conclusions. Saying the wrong thing could lead to being slapped in the face.

"Hehe, I guess many friends can't see through the battlefield's mist, including myself. It seems like we have to hand it over to the professionals." The gorgeous commentator half-joked.

The official website quickly connected to the military department's hotline, "Please let Colonel Grand clarify our doubts."

"Hello."

Nodding his head, for some reason Grand's avatar appeared in a corner of the screen. As an Ace pilot, Grand's words obviously carried more weight than anyone present.

"I suppose the Colonel has just watched the live battle. We won't mention your evaluation of the match, but do you think Revenge Shadow Rider's refraction attack is possible? Or could there be a system loophole?"

"Completely feasible. I have conducted some simple experiments, and laser reflection in reality is difficult to achieve. The attack determination requires very strict control of the gunplay and the angle of incidence."

"So it's feasible." When the commentator repeated to confirm this sentence, he was also conveying a fact to the doubting crowd, saying: "Do you think you can make the same refractive attack?"

"Hehe." Grand made a rare joke:"If I reveal military secrets, I might be on trial in military court the next day."

The audience couldn't help but laugh. The reality is of course not as exaggerated as Grand said, but it's a bit presumptuous to expect to get information from an Ace pilot.

Grand then added that to his knowledge, fewer than ten drivers in the world can freely use refractive gunplay, and they all have a distinct feature - Eagle Eye, which is a special ability similar to the emerging talent Cangmu Kuang Qi. Of course, this ability is widely known, so Grand had no need to hide it deliberately.

"Thank you, Colonel Grand, for clarifying that for us."

Grand's light screen projection disappeared in a blink of an eye..

At this time, of course, Cangmu Kuang Qi was watching the live National Confrontation. When she heard Grand mention her, she couldn't help but feel proud. Who would've thought the renowned Ace pilot Grand had heard of her name.

"Ohhhh... So it seems my fame isn't that low."

"Senior, you're at it again." Seventeen was somewhat embarrassed.

Cangmu Kuang Qi chuckled happily, her face full of satisfaction, yet there was a flicker of emotion that was hard to detect in her eyes. Good heavens! She never expected Revenge Shadow Rider to be so horrifying. Initially, she just thought of him as a rumor but today, she experienced the true terror of Revenge Shadow Rider during the National Confrontation. Originally, she was watching the national representatives, but after seeing Shadow Rider's battle, Cangmu Kuang Qi was suddenly silenced. This guy is even more perverted than the rumors.

After this incident, she developed a great interest in Revenge Shadow Rider.

"By the way, has there been any movement from Golden Sword Yingland and Wind Thunder lately?"

"It is said that Wind Thunder has been drawn up as an elite Red Cloak list, along with the Haier Brothers adding count to three people, of course if sister, your words..."

"What?"

"Hehe, senior, you were put in the second place."

"Tch, I already knew that news." Cangmu Kuang Qi pouted discontentedly. She clearly has the Eagle Eye, so why is she placed second? Besides her, there are more than ten other elites from other military colleges who will also compete on the same stage. It seems this battle won't be easy to fight.

(Mother's Day is coming, wishing all mothers around the world good health and a lifetime of happiness)
