Greedy Wolf signalled for Hugo to sit and talk, his tone tranquil and unhurried. Young ones always have a tendency to be hasty and impetuous.

"I don't understand why you, General, would admit defeat."

"Hehe, victory and defeat are perceived differently by everybody. Some may consider defeating their opponent a victory while to some, perseverance in itself is a victory. Whether it's handling the mecha, studying military tactics, the basic activities of eating, drinking, and sleeping or even just reading a story, all of these, in essence, lead to the same end. Take anything too serious and you've lost the game."

Hugo didn't quite understand Greedy Wolf's long lecture. Though he understood the literal meanings, the underlying depth eluded him. As a soldier, wasn't his focus meant to be on military tactics, elevating his mecha combat level, and physical upkeep? Hugo hardly read any novels. "I'm a simple man, General. I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Hehe, I know you're a simple man, that's why you've become a super soldier — Hugo. Your strength lies in finding the intricate within the straightforward, but remember, too much of it is equally detrimental. Each aspect has its dual nature. For example, mecha combat often has breakthroughs at the turn of a thought, not by rigid obstinacy – that only results in stagnation. When at an impasse, it might be beneficial to step outside; the same goes for eating and sleeping. We should eat to be satisfied, not to be bloated. Otherwise, it could lead to illness over time or even cancer, and that would be the end. The same principle applies to reading novels…"

Skimming through thousands of words, by the time Greedy Wolf finished, half an hour had already passed without them noticing...

Looking at the battlefield, most of the battles had concluded. The outcomes for the remaining 3 fights could only be observed through replay videos and data on the official website.

The result showed Soaring Sword Dragon vs Sky Shadow, the victor was Sky Shadow — wait a minute — Sky Shadow won?

Upon seeing this, Greedy Wolf was taken aback. He didn't even continue to check the winners of the other two battles. Three words sprang to his mind: That's impossible! Sky Shadow, one of the 12 Star Generals, even at his peak, should be no match for Soaring Sword Dragon. Or was it because of the mecha type advantage? That didn't seem likely either. Even if Sky Shadow held an advantage, it would still be difficult to defeat Soaring Sword Dragon. Soaring Sword Dragon was no ordinary person, he was formidable, one akin to Revenge Shadow Rider's Blue Lightning, even Greedy Wolf himself, at his current state, would have a higher chance of losing against Sword Dragon.

Yes, Greedy Wolf was old. Perhaps, if it were 20 years ago, even only 10 years ago, he'd have dared to face any pilot. Unfortunately, time is unrelenting; his physique, mental power, and concentration were no longer able to support him in piloting a mecha under such high-intensity combat.

He might have been confident in defeating Raymond if he hadn't surrendered, but would such a victory carry any meaning? To Greedy Wolf, if one couldn't take down an opponent with one strike among a horde of soldiers, one would have already lost. He was old now, too old to lift his blade. Why not let the younger generation take the lead? It's about the future of humankind, not just the interests and success of the major forces. Greedy Wolf knew what the wars could lead to.

Indeed, Sky Shadow's victory over Sword Dragon wasn't only a surprise to Greedy Wolf but to everyone. Had Soaring Sword Dragon not been as strong as the rumors suggested, or was Revenge Shadow Rider a myth?

Who was Sky Shadow? He was just one of the 12 Star Generals. The last time he demonstrated his strength, he was only a Red Cloak. But today, he was able to defeat Soaring Sword Dragon.

Shaking his head, Greedy Wolf decided to look at the two men's records and later study the replay of Sky Shadow's fight.

The results of the next two fights were as expected. Red Cloak pilot from Saudi, Black Edge vs Princess Diya's underage fighter, Margaret. The winner was Black Edge.

Princess Diya, Dilia vs Federal Lieutenant Elvis. The winner was Dilia.

Everyone can accept the current results, but, the defeat of Sword Dragon unavoidably attracts attention from thoughtful individuals.

Feng Yi, currently drinking in a bar, seems to be casual, but in fact, he is also brewing his emotions for the battle. When he received the news of Sky Shadow's victory over Sword Dragon, he was surprised, but more curious. In his calculations, Sky Shadow had some chances of winning against Sword Dragon, of course, it depended more on the type of Mecha and the analysis of Sword Dragon's driving habits. This was the only breakthrough Feng Yi could find, but after getting the result, he decided to go and see the course of the battle himself.

Well, just like Sky Shadow's style, this time, before the battle started, Sky Shadow initiated a friendly greeting, "Do you want to challenge the Revenge Shadow Rider?"

However, Sword Dragon Wen Yan did not respond much. As a top warrior, this kind of psychological tactic cannot deter him, on the contrary, by responding, he would disadvantage himself. He did not wish to be disturbed by Sky Shadow's words.

"Sword Dragon, each of your opponents has taken three strikes from you. Does that mean if I can dodge your golden three strikes, I will be safe and sound?" Sky Shadow did not forget to hint with his words, intending to further break down Sword Dragon's mental defense.

But who is Sword Dragon? He definitely is not as naive as Jiu Ling's sister, who can be deceived by a few words. At this moment, both sides are vying for dominance. Even though it seems like they haven't made a move yet, once Sword Dragon takes action, Sky Shadow who is riding the Phantom Gundam will quickly increase the distance. Depending on Sword Dragon's standard model, once it flies into the sky, he will be in an invincible state, and his fire output is far more aggressive than his opponent's.

However, this can't explain why Sword Dragon could fail. Feng Yi is very curious about what caused the man, who almost killed him, to collapse in such a short time.

In a blink of an eye, they both start to test each other. However, it belongs to the Phantom Gundam's aerial ground weapon suppression. The Phantom Gundam instantly executes X6 overriding, launching a firepower blockade against the Soaring Sword Dragon. From the loudspeaker came Sky Shadow's somewhat ferocious roar, "What's wrong, the famous Soaring Sword Dragon?"

Upon hearing this, Sword Dragon didn't respond at all. In fact, it wasn't difficult for him to dodge. The long-range weapons used by Sky Shadow only had one beam cannon, so as long as he avoided the beam, he could dodge other attacks immediately.

On the other hand, Sky Shadow, who performed X6 overriding, was drenched in sweat in just five minutes. The imaging device showed that Sky Shadow's hand speed under X6 overriding had reached 650 cards. After all, he was controlling six weapons simultaneously, while Sword Dragon only used up 300 cards of hand speed, dodging from left to right. This had Sky Shadow all flustered.

However, although Sky Shadow in the Mecha seemed a bit embarrassing at this time, it was not at all apparent in his voice. Instead, it sounded quite unhurried, "Sword Dragon, do you really think you're on par with Blue Rain Greedy Wolf? If it were them, maybe I would've already lost. You disappoint me. You're not even a challenge for the Revenge Shadow Rider."

Feng Yi could see Borg's furious commentary off the field... Disappointed? Who do you think you are? Others said Sword Dragon was called B number, and they hoped Sky Shadow would remember him.

"Boring." Even Sword Dragon couldn't help but speak up.

"Finally speaking, eh? I thought you were a mute — but it doesn't matter. I'm not scared of someone who's lost to Revenge Shadow Rider multiple times."

"What!? Lost to Revenge Shadow Rider multiple times?" Sword Dragon abruptly stopped, standing still, as if he had suddenly fallen into an irreversible train of thought... Yes, he had lost to Revenge Shadow Rider, but not just once. He lost to the same person twice. The first time he lost to Flame Dual Slash, and the second time he was defeated by an unknown sniper, but that's not a reason for being a loser, isn't it? Indeed, he had lost to Revenge Shadow Rider more than once.

Looking over at Phantom Gundam, he was also stunned for several seconds, staring into the void, as if he didn't expect Sword Dragon to make such a move. A trap? It didn't seem so. In fact, Sky Shadow had no idea about Sword Dragon's two losses to Revenge Shadow Rider. He also didn't expect his comment to have such an effect, he only said it casually and surprisingly hit the nail on the head.
