"I don't see anything special about today."

"Not special? Today marks the battle of the king of Revenge Shadow Rider. As a fan of mecha, don't you, as a Red Cloak, have any interest in mecha battles?"

"Hee hee, I'm somewhat interested. How about we have a couple of matches?" Angelina smiled enchantingly, her pleasing appearance irresistible to any man. But her gaze was locked on Feng Yi. If Feng Yi truly was the Revenge Shadow Rider, any change in his facial expression when hearing the challenge would be easily captured by her, even if it lasted only for an instant.

Yet Angelina was disappointed. Despite not showing it, she sighed lightly upon hearing Feng Yi's response.

"It's an honor to spar with an elite Red Cloak. I'd be glad to."

"You accepted quite readily. Be gentle with me when the time comes." Angelina reasoned, despite her words, that it was practically impossible to have two different IDs under the same Star Wars account using special means. Though, it was not completely impossible, just extremely difficult.

However, when you log in, a character selection window pops up. Considering the Military Department was suspecting Feng Yi to be the Revenge Shadow Rider, plus the fact that whenever Feng Yi wasn't at the special training base, the Revenge Shadow Rider happened to be online. It only solidified her suspicions. She decided she would see what Feng Yi was up to that day.

In fact, Feng Yi had already prepared an exit strategy when he logged off. He wouldn't let himself be fooled by this crafty girl. He had already made an unsavory deal with Eggy for this very purpose. He did this to deliberately show Angelina, although he was not sure how the old ghosts of the Military Department started suspecting him. But for now, Feng Yi believed his true identity should not be exposed.

Ding dong. With the system's notification sounds, both logged onto Star Wars at the same time. Even though there were still many people online, they managed to squeeze in and quickly set up an encrypted room.

"Demon Dragon Slayer's Daughter." Seeing the nickname, Feng Yi couldn't help but smile at the blood-curdlingly dramatic nature of the name.

Angelina's mirror technology enabled her to spy on Feng Yi's entire login page. Feng Yi's record wasn't bad, and he commonly used the "Assembly Call" mecha model. "Ugh... enough already." Seeing this, Angelina murmured impatiently while rubbing her forehead. Her initial expectations for Feng Yi somewhat deflated. However, she decided to have a battle with him.

Their battle quickly attracted scrutiny. Although they weren't clear about Feng Yi's abilities, his handling skills probably wouldn't be inferior. As for Angelina, being an elite Red Cloak, the event seemed endless today.

The battle quickly began. Feng Yi didn't plan on holding back, and immediately attacked the Demon Dragon Slayer's Daughter with the Assembly Call. His rush speed was extremely fast, and he employed military-grade mecha combat techniques. Feng Yi's approach leaned more toward a fierce offense, his flurry of titanium alloy sword swings forced Angelina into constant retreat.

However, within two minutes Angelina claimed bodily discomfort and conceded the match. The match ended prematurely and although Feng Yi's level was high, to Angelina, he seemed to be at the level of a common Red Cloak, possibly even lower. Compared to the Shadow Rider, he was worlds apart. She could feel that Feng Yi had not given it his all, but then again, neither had she.

Moreover, Feng Yi's fighting style differed greatly from the Revenge Shadow Rider. The latter displayed more detailed aspects in their understanding of the environment and the complexity of their moves, whereas Feng Yi was more like a low-budget Hugo, disregarding defense and blindly pushing his offense. Despite using military-grade mecha combat techniques, he was still seen as a low-class fighter through the eyes of the common folk.

Soon after, Angelina didn't want to engage any further. To defeat a fighter like Feng Yi was rather easy, a game of cat and mouse would exhaust him. She shook her head and logged off with a sense of regret.

Upon leaving the battle cabin, her radiant smile returned. Her worshipful gaze and words were enough to bewitch any man. She soon left the area.

What a cunning girl... Feng Yi also shook his head. Didn't he know what kind of person she was? Yet she pretended to be so kind in front of the soldiers. He shrugged it off, thinking about grabbing some midnight snacks.

—In the blink of an eye, half a month of intensive training had passed and the God's Thorn soldiers, due to Feng Yi's constant supervision and humiliation, had dropped their initial arrogance and became truly invincible soldiers.

At the Mars special training base, every evening from afar one could see a group of soldiers fighting. At first it was one-on-one, but by the second half of the month it had evolved into a free-for-all. The current soldiers had no individuality, no dignity, and only an endless cycle of training.

The position of team leader was given to the most capable, who received benefits that the common soldiers did not, such as a substantial stipend, more equipment usage, and more tools, like the Combat Power Tester. They also received special combat skills taught by Feng Yi personally. The soldiers were extremely envious of the four current team leaders.

The saying 'one can be influenced by one's surroundings' hit hard for Zhang Xiaobo. Initially, he did not plan to join the combat troops but seeing the beasts in front of him, he gradually learned a life lesson, which was retaliation. If he did not attack actively, the soldiers who were his opponents would beat him. Was Zhang Xiaobo someone who would willingly take a loss?

At first, Zhang Xiaobo tried to avoid training by adopting various passive attitudes, surviving off his own thick skin while seldomly fighting back against the soldiers. Even Feng Yi was surprised by his tolerance and decided to train his resilience.

As time went by and the number of opponents assigned by Feng Yi increased, Zhang Xiaobo eventually realized he couldn't keep getting beaten. With no choice left, he finally decided to strike back and ended up hitting harder and crueler than anyone else, all while cursing them out. This caught his opponents off guard and they ended up in a poor state.

Since his fight record was outstanding, Feng Yi started assigning him many more opponents. To avoid further beatings, Zhang Xiaobo had to keep outsmarting the soldiers, going round after round against them. In the end, Zhang Xiaobo rose through the ranks to become the idol of the special training base.
