Considering it unwise to linger here for too long, Feng Yi decided to leave immediately. Less than two minutes after his departure, the local police had cordoned off the combat bar. While they didn't find any suspects, they uncovered a load of clues, including messy fingerprints that could hardly be considered as clues, and remnants of brainwave magnetic fields from the Virtual Combat Machine.

A breaking news bulletin soon interrupted the midday broadcast, warning that a dangerous individual might have infiltrated the area. The alert urged residents to report any suspicious individuals of unknown origin by dialing the police hotline 1000003, promising rewards for valuable information.

"Hello, I saw a suspicious guy running towards the Holy Academy."

"Sir, could you please provide your name and contact information?"

"My name is Yi Feng, my phone number is XX. Goodbye."

Having already logged out, Feng Yi watched as Shadow Rider's ID gradually faded. The spectators, both on and off the stage, were still in awe. Such a cool move! Killing a Red Cloak elite in a split second - could anyone in the world withstand such an invincible attack?

While the element of surprise may have played a role in the attack, the type of mecha and the strength of the opponent must also be considered. Against a high-cold beauty, even a top-notch move might not guarantee a quick victory. Could it be that Shadow Rider, who appeared to be reality-based and virtuous, actually overpowered the top-notch fighters?

These speculations weren't impossible, but they remained mere conjecture. What couldn't be denied, however, was that a revenge storm that had shocked countless mecha enthusiasts was quietly spreading rapidly across the Silver Alliance... The nickname Revenge Shadow Rider had topped the Silver Alliance's search headlines in just one day.

At this point, the two major factions, the Federation and the Silver Alliance, diverged. The former usually called it Shadow Rider, using the latter part of the nickname, while the Silver Alliance, on the other hand, preferred the shorthand 'Revenge'.

Hearing that Shadow Rider was online again, Hans felt so excited he was almost rolling on the floor. Shadow Rider had left Star Wars to perform on a larger stage. However, Hans was certain that Shadow Rider would never forget those who supported him and was simply striving to constantly surpass himself by challenging stronger opponents. If possible, Hans earnestly hoped he could arrange formidable opponents for Shadow Rider.

Unfortunately, the benefits of Star Wars were declining by the day. During wartime, the domestic economy was already strained, and large corporations had switched their investments to heavy industries such as mecha manufacturing. Even the high operating costs were a significant expenditure. The Star Wars headquarters had fallen, and Hans, as the general representative of the Star Territory, didn't know how much longer he could keep going. Perhaps a year, a month, or maybe just a few weeks. This was based on his player base, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Hans would not give up. This was his perseverance, and Hans believed that Revenge Shadow Rider could see it.

"Young man, are you still planning to run this company? I think you should sell it," a white-bearded old man in a cleaning uniform said to Hans in a serious tone in the office. There weren't many old men around Hans. Old Liu was one of them. Besides him, there were less than a hundred office staff combined.

"Heh, Old Liu, why would you say that?"

"Ah, at my age, I'm basically living day by day without any big aspirations for the future. But really, I don't understand why you, still young, insist on leading this group to the bitter end."

Hans knew that Old Liu was looking out for him. If he couldn't even understand himself, how could he expect others to understand? He chuckled, "Let's play chess instead of talking about this. Let's continue."

Meanwhile, at the Federal Black Science Base, the atmosphere was rather tense. The nine elites had different reactions when they saw the final video of Revenge Shadow Rider's kill. Lulu didn't care at all and just continued with his own work. Among the group, he was the most impenetrable, seemingly unaffected by anything.

Clearly, Sky Shadow was the most shocked, his fingernails digging into his flesh. Even though he appeared calm, his trembling body betrayed his inner rage. Damn it! If Shadow Rider's first use of Flame Dual Slash was the result of emerging potential when cornered, then the jerk was now able to wield the skill with ease... Wait! Flame Dual Slash? Sky Shadow suddenly thought of something.

If his memory served him right, part of the reason for Saudi's failure in the Big Max battle was due to Jiu Ling himself. As a 12-star general, Sky Shadow would naturally collect information about fighters of the same rank, despite not paying much attention to those amateurs.

Jiu Ling, one of the Red Cloak, was rumored to have been defeated by a slash-like move. It was hard to get a recording of the real battlefield, but Jiu Ling was different. How could an ordinary mech pilot defeat Jiu Ling? It was the news of Jiu Ling's defeat that made Sky Shadow scrutinize all the real-time information he could get his hands on. Ultimately, he discovered that only one person could have done it - Feng Yi!

Initially, Feng Yi couldn't have possibly been on Sky Shadow's radar. However, if he was linked to Revenge Shadow Rider, everything would make sense. Why would a universally popular fighter choose to engage in single combat during the National Confrontation? Additionally, with Feng Yi's single combat capabilities, he could easily defeat his opponent, but ended up nearly losing to a green kid. This was full of contradictions.

If there had to be an explanation, it wouldn't be hard to guess that Feng Yi was Revenge Shadow Rider! To avoid encountering Shadow Rider, he would deliberately hold back during battles.

Furthermore, the Big Max battlefield had seen no progress for years. Logically, Jiu Ling's intervention should have led to its complete collapse. However, right after Feng Yi's arrival, the situation reversed. Besides Shadow Rider, it's hard to think of anyone else who could defeat Jiu Ling - a complete mecha model - using a charge mecha. Besides, the first appearance of Revenge Shadow Rider in the Star Territory coincided with Feng Yi's presence in Alpha.

Damn it, so it was really that jerk. Although Sky Shadow couldn't be 100% certain, he was confident his guess was quite accurate. He immediately asked Mu Tou, "By the way, your Instructor Feng should have gone on a long trip, right?"

Mu Tou, who was naturally dense, scratched his head. After watching the video for a while, he still couldn't understand anything. He recalled that Feng Yi had said he would be gone for a while,

but he didn't know specifically where.

Sky Shadow smiled, just as he had expected. His gaze landed on the light screen once more. The Silver Alliance officials were carrying out a detailed review of Revenge Shadow Rider's combat process.

There was a hint of envy in the Haier Brothers' eyes.

Ophelia's brows furrowed more deeply. She had once thought that after a period of hard training, she might surpass Revenge Shadow Rider. However, reality often differed from imagination. Instead of catching up with him, the gap between their abilities may have been widening. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to: "Dovir, it looks like your idol has grown stronger."

Dovir had no intention of responding, unless it was about Revenge Shadow Rider. Aside from him, the young man seemed quite aloof towards others.

With a click, General Greedy Wolf suddenly entered the room as the light screen darkened. He glanced at everyone, "No one knew when this guy would come online. I personally think that his combat skills are worth learning from." Greedy Wolf smiled, "But what I want to ask is not about that. After watching this live broadcast, what are your immediate impressions?"
