Apophis does not have any idle day, as he has been waiting for the news from Feng Yi to restore his family's glory. Having learned about Feng Yi before, Apophis believes him to be trustworthy and is hopeful that he would fulfill his non-committed promise one day.

However, Apophis now has his attention on the battle at hand. His abilities aren't even comparable to Cangmu Kuang Qi, at best, he's barely a match for Ophelia! His commitment to restoring his family's power has led him to waste too much time on this path.

In retrospect, he might have strayed from his path. He particularly remembers a piece of advice from Feng Yi before he left: Talent is crucial, but hard work and attitude are vital too. Recognize the right direction to journey even further. Many things naturally take shape.

Apophis is currently in a good state of mind. He let go of the idea of participating in this confrontation. He'll just let fate decide when it comes to the Red Cloak elites. He plans to devote more time to the battles among the masters.

As for expert opinions, Apophis has no intention of wasting his time on them. The nonsense theories of so-called scholars and experts are worthless on the battlefield. With that time, it'd be better to watch Shadow Rider videos to find potential learning opportunities.

Maybe the past portrayals of Shadow Rider were exaggerated, but the circumstances today are entirely different. Shadow Rider's combat with several members of the Red Cloak has proven his terrifying power! Battling others isn't the same as battling Shadow Rider. Apophis can distinctly feel the exhilaration when facing Shadow Rider, which is the enlightenment only warriors can experience. For some reason, he realized that only Shadow Rider could teach him what he has been seeking. If given the opportunity, he would humbly ask for guidance, just like Dovir. With that thought in mind, Apophis casually closed the light screen.

At that moment, the expert review program is fervently discussing Shadow Rider's recent battle. The previously quiet channel has seen a multi-fold increase in viewership in a short period. The television station never expected that broadcasting a segment on Shadow Rider could bring such terrifying ratings. Maybe they should consider establishing a special column for Shadow Rider.

Feng Yi exited the login, covered in sweat. The recent battle was too dangerous. Each confrontation in space minimizes his advantage to near insignificance. Feng thought to himself, "Being a king does not mean never accepting defeat. Shadow Rider will never bow its head." He was speechless about the comments from netizens. If there was any chance, Feng Yi would not choose to be passive in the battle. Of course, this doesn't exclude Feng Yi's adventurous actions of wanting to test his opponent's limits. Otherwise, Lily would have had no chance to escape. Lily's strength is below that of Jiu Ling. If Feng Yi were to evaluate her, her full potential would be on par with or slightly greater than Ophelia.

In the end, the propulsion system is the Achilles' heel of Phantom Knight 0001. He can use the terrain to compensate during ground battles, but he has no such advantages in space combat. He is utterly helpless against his opponent's kite maneuver.

The battle is finally over. Lily walked out of the arena feeling a bit sulky. Instead of logging off, she decided to lurk under a hidden ID in a corner of the virtual world, digesting the process of her defeat.

Federal screeners are now flying off the shelves. Looking at those Screamers, Lily's expression was not good. They're really noisy. She was unable to digest the defeat. Victory should have been hers. Why did Shadow Rider launch such a hard-to-defend attack? Is the gap in their abilities really that wide? If this were Shadow Rider's true strength, she would have no chance of beating him.

The city surrounding the Peak Arena is designed after the Federal Capital Planet, and now the arena is buzzing with people. Many players living in the virtual world have set up tents and stalls outside the arena; some are selling local food, others are selling weapons and equipment. There are couples strolling leisurely, and many people can't squeeze into the arena.

Liya, my sister, is able to find me among the crowd. It's quite impressive. Of course, she is using a hidden ID as well. Otherwise, she would be surrounded. As a 12-star general, she has countless fans in the Federation. I can't take the chance of being spotted in the player's living area.

"Why are you sitting here alone?" Reiko approached and asked with concern.

"I just want some peace."

"That's not like you. Do you care about winning or losing that much?"

Lily shook her head. Of course, she cared about winning or losing. But that's not the main reason. The gap between the two of them was the real problem. Shadow Rider's final dream-like shot shattered more than just their victory. It shattered her confidence, her long-held values.

If she had been suppressing Shadow Rider in the previous fights, Shadow Rider's game-changing victory must be his true strength. It felt as if an elder brother was just humoring a child, and when he got tired of it, he struck the kid without hesitation. That shot was terrifying.

Reiko didn't say anything. She just silently hugged her knees and stayed with Lily. She knows her sister's strengths and weaknesses well. Her pride is too strong, but her fearlessness in the face of failure is something she could learn from. However, when facing an insurmountable mountain, the so-called repeated defeats and fight back seem pale in comparison.

After a while, Lily finally clenched her fists. Their enemy might be formidable, but she has the confidence to surpass him. There's nothing in this world that couldn't be solved with hard work. If hard work doesn't solve it, it just means she's not trying hard enough. She said to her sister, "Sis, train with me."

Reiko laughed suddenly. She's grateful for the Vengeful Shadow Rider. It's been a long time since she last saw this young girl this determined, "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Hmph. How would I know if I don't try?" Lily also laughed. Her body was filled with energy.

"Okay, now log off. I'm not going to lower my level for you, you know."

"No, let's fight in Galactic Warfare. Don't hold back." Lily decided to get up where she fell. Perhaps the numerous battles and victorious had made her forget some important things. The Vengeful Shadow Rider, huh? One day, she will surpass the Vengeful Shadow Rider and the 12-star general, standing at the peak of the world, looking at the sky.

"Okay, just give it your all. Oh, and about that Vengeful Shadow Rider, I'm going to beat him for you in advance."

"Sis, could it be that you...?"

"Hmm." Reiko nodded. Given Vengeful Shadow Rider's strength, she doubted that any random combat suit could stand a chance against him. She would need to pilot her signature model to secure a victory.

The two quickly logged out of the game and casually set up a room.

The vast crowd who work hard is far away from them. Effort is reward, plowing gains yield, there are no shortcuts on the road ahead. After watching the Vengeful Shadow Rider's fight, Princess Dilia immediately logged out and entered automatic matching mode. Such an opponent brought her unprecedented pressure.

After ten consecutive matches, Dilia realized that her opponents were just too weak. They couldn't put enough pressure on her.
