Unfortunately, after continuously exerting herself to the brink, her physical strength had already reached its end. As the saying goes, a long attack will not break through leading to detrimental backlash. Seeing this, Feng Yi felt the result looming, and there was little to no chance of Jiu Ling winning as he anticipated.

From the surface, Sky Shadow seemed to be continuously suppressed. No, it should be said that he was overwhelmed with defensive tasks, time and again caught in dangerous situations, but his rhythm was not disrupted; Sky Shadow was indisputably in control.

In contrast, Jiu Ling appeared to be stimulated to suddenly give a full-scale attack. Despite driving Sky Shadow into a corner multiple times, he completely lost control over the offensive rhythm, always just a bit short of really hitting Sky Shadow. Maybe Sky Shadow was also holding back, but unfortunately, even Feng Yi himself would need to retreat under Jiu Ling's intense outburst of strength.

Instantly, Jiu Ling realized where the problem lay. His physical strength was likely unable to support an intense pushback anymore. As time passed, her movements gradually slowed. But she did not want to give up - giving up signified failure, giving up would mean missing the opportunity to battle with Revenge Shadow Rider again. Hence, she didn't give up. She desired to beat the detestable Sky Shadow and have another match with the Revenge Shadow Rider.

Currently, Jiu Ling was unable to effectively control the mecha. At the same time, she continuously questioned herself deep in her heart: Could she win? According to her current state, it seemed over.

Despite this, she continued to try her best. Sha Meng's mech was still madly swinging its sword. Even though it lacked follow-through, any hit would still be fatal.

However, as the defender, the Gun Rider, while defending, actively pressured forwards. The Silver Spear swung about, as the collision in the void continuously ignited waves of light fire.

The attacking Sha Meng mecha, on the other hand, started retreating step by step. It wasn't exaggerated to describe the situation as bizarre at this time. It was as if Sha Meng was both adopting a crazy assault and defending at the same time.

Wooww... Sky Shadow saw an opportunity and unexpectedly thrust the Cloud Drilling Spear into Sha Meng's cockpit.

So fast! Jiu Ling only felt intense pain in her body and everything went dark in front of her eyes. The next instant, she had appeared in the arena. She... failed...?

After Elvis, this was the second spear thrown by Sky Shadow using the Gun Rider in the 12 Star Generals battle, and no need to conserve power was seen in it. Even though it was abrupt and the impact was not as great as the former, this was indeed the Cloud Drilling Spear. Sky Shadow was truly deserving of being the strongest pilot in the Federation.

Without a doubt, for this battle, Sky Shadow won.

Perhaps Jiu Ling had many points of victory, perhaps she was affected by Sky Shadow's trash talk, but before the ultimate result, all data was invalid. Sky Shadow was truly deserving of being the most promising soldier among the 12 Star Generals. Even Jiu Ling, who was at the White Robe Stage, unfortunately failed.

Jiu Ling tightly closed her beautiful eyes, biting down on her lips, she silently stood in place for a while... Her heart was in extreme sorrow; she had missed another chance to battle against the Revenge Shadow Rider.

But then again, who in this world truly understands the terror that is Jiu Ling? If she could let go a bit, if Sky Shadow did not calculate in advance, if she could advance two more steps, even facing Revenge Shadow Rider, it would still be uncertain who the winner would be.

Indeed, people often only pay attention to the surface but are often worried about the near future — however, both inside and outside the arena, the spectators could not hide their excitement. As always, Sky Shadow was stronger. In an instant, the federated stands turned into a boiling ocean....

In Maraca's business street, the single day sales of food and alcohol had already exceeded the total of a normal week. People felt fortunate to be alive in this world, where countless experts, and even Revenge Shadow Rider who was far superior to those experts, existed. Now, there was no better way to express everyone's feelings than with a cup of refreshing beer.

Raymond's general time was ahead of Sky Shadow by two positions. Fortunately, on his way, he did not come across any tough opponents or should it be said, in front of him, who had just become a White Robe stage warrior, the previous Red Cloak could not be considered an opponent anymore.

Far away in the Parma Mecha Military Academy of Zana's Republic, Raymond had just generalised, and at General Hagrid's request, Professor Nicolas had given him a special lecture on the common mistakes made when fighting against the Revenge Shadow Rider.

Professor Nicolas was Zana's most authoritative commentator. Raymond did not refuse this opportunity. Ever since his defeat to Reiko and his battle with Jiu Ling, he was no longer arrogant. He had learned the lesson that there will always be someone better out there. Only his obsession to fight against the Revenge Shadow Rider had not changed.

Of course, the two had to communicate through Heavenly Communication, and there were still many students from the Palma Mecha Military Academy below. According to Professor Nicolas, when faced with the Revenge Shadow Rider, firstly, you can't wait. There's no need to consider any tactics; just do whatever comes to mind. Secondly, don't think about how to take him down, but instead, have the mindset of fighting to the death. Only through this method would you stand the faintest chance of winning.

Was the Revenge Shadow Rider really that strong? Looking through the Light Screen, Raymond could see the doubts on the faces of the students below. He smiled bitterly and said that the Revenge Shadow Rider was likely stronger than they imagined. As for exactly how strong he was, it depended on one's imagination. You could think of it this way, in this world, there are only unimaginable Revenge Shadow Riders, and none that he could not defeat.

Of course, whether he could meet the Revenge Shadow Rider was still uncertain. Even though Raymond was currently conversing with Professor Nicolas as a White Robe user, just having Mengdie as an opponent was more than this rookie White Robe could handle. This anonymous user from Zana went by the ID 'Handsome Guys Only', but their true skill level was that of Zana's top pilot, Mengdie.

Setting Mengdie aside, even when facing authentic challengers such as Sky Shadow, Lily, Mirami, Raymond still cannot claim to have a firm grasp on victory. If he encounters an entity like the Soaring Sword Dragon, all he could do is pray for his luck.

Only 2 hours were left until the Revenge Shadow Rider's login time, and the Sky Ladder match had reached its climax.

Loneliness is the highest honor, and waiting is the ultimate test. For the supporters of Revenge Shadow Rider, every minute and second waiting for Shadow Rider to log in was a pleasure. Since last night, the crowd beneath the projector screen of Star Wars tower has become so dense that no vehicles could pass through. Security personnel were trying to disperse the crowd as journalists in the back row were reporting on the situation live, with the background music of course being the boundaries-breaking music video of Shadow Rider.

The time for Shadow Rider to log in is drawing closer. It seemed that the official management didn't want this group of powerful players to confront each other prematurely. Matches before the top 16 went very smoothly, and it wasn't until the quarter-finals that the list of competitors was released.

Lynn VS Lily

Soaring Sword Dragon VS Sky Shadow

Nameless VS Raymond

Heinsilio VS Handsome Guys Only

Mirami VS Warlord Mansfield

Black Edge VS Black Cloak Loli

Sachi VS Bruce

Dilia VS Elvis

The above are the pairings of the competitors. It is fair to say that for those who challenge the Revenge Shadow Rider, this battle itself presents numerous interesting points.

The arena is divided into eight sections. Audiences connected via the external network could change their viewing angles freely to watch any of the battles, or opt to broadcast them all simultaneously on miniature screens. However, very few people opt to do so.

Only one thing troubled Sachi — he didn't get placed in the same bracket as Sky Shadow. He was eager to get revenge for Ferret in a game against Sky Shadow, even if it was just one game. However, look at who he got — Bruce, rumored to be the Pirate King. If that were true, Sachi didn't think he stood a chance.

First match area, Lynn VS Lily.

Lily took the offensive, while Lynn played a restraining role. Once the two engaged in the battle, Lily, who was seated in the Light Beam, immediately felt an increased pressure. If her guess was correct, her opponent was at least a mid-level White Robe user. Seven minutes later, Duolin successfully defeated Lily, earning a spot in the top eight. It was not surprising that as a Super Red Cloak of Bergheide, Duolin managed to defeat Lily in combat.

In the second match area, a highly anticipated sniping battle quietly began...

Yes, Heinsilio, the top sniper from Pross, also known as the Phantom Sniper, thoroughly enjoyed every minute and second of the battle. As the battle started, he, as a sniper, did not choose to run away at the first moment. Instead, he began to lay down suppressive fire on 'Handsome Guys Only'.

Mengdie's eyes sparkled all the more, Heinsilio wasn't choosing not to run. He was clear that he would only choose to run if he managed to suppress his opponent's moves within a range that he couldn't be pursued. A quality opponent indeed.

However, unfortunately for him, Mengdie would not leave her opponents any opportunities. Even though she was slightly worse than him in shooting, Mengdie could disrupt Heinsilio's rhythm perfectly. As a long-range shooter, once she gets within melee range, he becomes as harmless as a tiger without fangs. The outcome of this battle was determined from the very beginning.
