"President, hehe... You can trust in the Black Rat's abilities, just wait and see." The speaker let out a bizarre laugh like a tractor's engine before hanging up the Heavenly Communication.

The President of the Tyrant Guild disconnected the Heavenly Communication and reclined comfortably on the couch. He believes his plan to unify Star Wars will soon be realized. In recent days, the Rose Guild had revealed their inexperience and thin foundation, turning a blind eye to any provocateurs.

Now, Xiao Bai's management methods in the Rose Guild have likely sparked dissatisfaction among many members. He only needs to crush the weak Rose Guild and cultivate momentum around the Revenge Shadow Rider. Alongside the ripple effect from the nationwide tournament, he believes he can elevate this A-level guild formed by 100,000 individuals to the level of the super guilds.

The nationwide tournament's popularizing matches are coming to an end, and various powerhouses and dark horses have emerged. Ironically, most of the top 100 professionals have been eliminated during the tournament, and many of the remaining contenders are previously underestimated unknown people. However, the general outcome matches the predictions, notably, Federal Hugo, Hell's Gate Venus, Chacha of Zana Republic, Billy of Weibang Democratic Nation, and Margaret from the Diya Alliance.

Each of these five individuals possesses unique strengths. Hugo is flexible in battle, displays quick-thinking, and boasts excellent hand speed, marking him as potential Red Cloak Elite material.

Then, Hell's Gate Venus is a female player well-versed in the X Ability. While her strength may place her after Hugo, her value far exceeds his.

Zana Republic's Chacha is a young man adept at fast attack rhythms. His fundamental skills are solid, and he fights in a robust style, making him a warrior of righteousness. The Zana Republic, known for their long-ranged civilization, is in need of this kind of talent.

Billy, on the other hand, is a carefree middle-aged man with a tricky and unpredictable style. His unconventional movements often lead to affectionate mockery from the online community, dubbing him "Brother Noble Billy".

Lastly, Margaret of the Diya Alliance, a late bloomer, while her combat power isn't as strong as the other competitors, her X Ability level is tested at B+ stages, showcasing her exceptional talent. She's only two steps behind the notorious Federal Angelina. Despite her stumbling journey, every power supports this brave little girl in black and hopes that she will hold on until the end.

The climax of the nationwide tournament only begins when the popularizing matches finish. Among the twelve stars, five have already assembled. This will be a battle of destiny. Who among the Star Generals will emerge as the strongest? Will it be the five rising stars, the veteran celebrity twelve-star generals or the elusive Revenge Shadow Rider?

Of course, the 2V2 matches are also no trifles. The Haier Brother's have received extensive media attention and interviews. However, compared to the pinnacle 1v1 battles, they may seem to fall short somehow. That being said, it's a given that victory will follow the Haier Brothers, the match point figures in this battle, and it would be well-deserved.

Besides them, Cangmu Kuang Qi has also risen to prominence. She hails from the Super Earth's prestigious Cangmu family. If the weight of Cangmu Kuang Qi's name doesn't explain anything, bringing up her widely famous sister, Cangmu Ling, should ring a bell to the audience.

Dovir from the Diya Military Academy is also one of the popular competitors in this tournament. His battle against the Revenge Shadow Rider is still fresh in everyone's mind. Here's a young man of similar age as Margaret but not inferior at all.

As for Mu Tou, unfortunately, he was eliminated in the early fights by a player from Hell's Gate. Nonetheless, the Federal never loses any interest in Mu Tou.

There's another oddball whose ID is "Fatty Tiger." His fighting style can only be described as lowly and disgusting. He uses shenanigans like smoke grenades, stealth attacks, or even dirty tricks — anything that can make a fight shameless. It's more accurate to say that he came to disgust people in this tournament rather than to fight.

Nasty as he might be, it's surprising that Fatty Tiger not only managed to nauseate everyone but also display significant strength. His survival to this point hasn't been easy. When the names of the semi-finalists were announced, there were some enthusiastic applause for Fatty Tiger from the audiences...

The peak battle of the players will kick off promptly at 8 a.m. All major allied countries will boast a dazzling lineup. This battle differs from the atmosphere at the beginning of the competition. Even before daybreak, the audience had filled the competition venue to brimming both inside and out. It was so crowded you couldn't squeeze a person in. The ticket prices soared hundreds of times, which testified the audience's anticipation for this battle.

As popular wartime competitors, Amelia and Sheng Qiangwei had the privilege to sit in the special viewing area to witness the event up close. It was true that they could watch the video from anywhere else. Still, some things could only be learned by observing firsthand.

The sun had not entirely risen, and the peace doves were already soaring the sky above the ancient town. Walking on the street outside the arena, watching the countless street hawkers and the crowd passing by, Feng Yi took a long breath...

Would this war against all odds be considered entertainment to ordinary people? Yet, in Feng Yi's eyes, it was the last call for the war of nations. If war could be replaced with confrontation, it wouldn't be too bad, but such naive hopes seemed impossible, even in the dream world.

Yes, the activation of the Super Soldier Project meant that the war would escalate rapidly towards irreversibility. The only role he could play was to do everything within his power to defend the Federation, to protect the country that he gradually began to recognize.

Here were his friends, Weirbo, the old man who was grooming himself for the Wind Thunder Military Academy, President Adams who rewarded him with a medal, Guo Guo's adorable smile, and the undying will left by Grandpa Lasso.

To be honest, Feng Yi was not sentimental. He hated Colonial Planet 103, which was related to Grandpa Lasso; he detested the Shadow District of Alpha, where instructors and students would laugh and make merry, and he despised Big Macs, the battlefield where his comrades fell. Yet, these fragments of memory combined, would ignite a flame that stood strong for the country.

Alas! Since when had he become so sentimental? Shaking his head, he found that he could be emotionally touched by his surroundings too, revealing various feelings buried in his thoughts.

Attempting to digest this process while slowing down his pace, Feng Yi sat at a table in front of a quaint pub, ordering two local dishes.

A plate of flower palm spotted snails, a pint of beer, a dish of desert chicken, he considered this a pre-war leisure.

As Feng Yi was enjoying his meal, a burst of fragrance came his way. He frowned and looked up, and shockingly found five graceful figures in front of him. It was her...

The five women wore baseball caps or straw hats, their faces obscured by the shadows. Though their distinctive curves undoubtedly deemed them beautiful, it was not their figures, but their identities that surprised Feng Yi.

"It's... it's such a coincidence that we meet again," stuttered a woman, her voice noticeably trembled with excitement.

The other four displayed clueless expressions. Nana, what's going on? This man is handsome, indeed, but not enough for you to lose yourself over him! Remember, public image is important... Wait a minute! Isn't he the federal soldier who fought against the Diya Alliance in the arena?

While they were still confused, Athena had already blushed and softly said, "Thank you for what happened the other day."

Of course, Feng Yi knew what "the other day" she was referring to. Back during the special Wind Thunder enlistment, when Athena's impromptu concert was disrupted by Franklin, it was he who handled the situation. Athena had recognized him then, and surprisingly, they ran into each other at the arena today. To be fair, this had some probability, considering Athena had an opening performance in the morning.

Feng Yi shrugged, "No need to thank me, we're even now." He drained his drink after his casual remark.

"How... how could it be so!", Athena's voice rose slightly. When she realized this and quickly covered her lips.
