Acting composed came with a price, as it turned out, Revenge Shadow Rider didn't have the privilege to wait for Ophelia to make the first move.

Clank clank clank clank ... Sparks flew from the alloy sword as wounds multiplied around Shadow Rider, a new series of attacks greeted him even before he could recover, dealing lethal blows. This extreme level of suppression was greatly impacting Feng Yi.

His defence was nearing a breakdown, yet, despite the exhaustion, Revenge Shadow Rider continued to brandish his alloy sword with an impressively skillful defensive stance. The sword sometimes seemed to defy gravity as it circled around his hand, blocking devastating blows merely by holding it, as if it was an extension of Shadow Rider's body. Despite pressure from all sides, the persistently retreating Shadow Rider was eventually driven back into the jungle.

The battlefield stretched for kilometers, with the dense forest bearing the damage as two Mechas engaged in combat. Both disappeared into the depths of the forest, momentarily vanishing before bursting into the open.

Perhaps Shadow Rider was hoping to use the dense jungle environment as interference for Gun Rider's attack rhythm, but that plan failed. The attack frequency of the enemy remained undeterred.

Ophelia of Yingland, having enough self-confidence to use her real name as her gaming ID, spoke volumes about her standing in Yingland's Military Academy and her own self-assurance. She was a legend of Yingland's younger generation, whose battles never called for defence. Ophelia's offence was relentless, and any opponent would be thoroughly crushed under her pressure, so how could defence be mentioned?

Ophelia herself, seeing this familiar ID, some late realising viewers recalled the legends about Ophelia. Right, she was the youngest Probationary Red Cloak of the Federation. When people realized this, they stopped being worried for Revenge Shadow Rider. Even if he lost the battle, it would not lessen people's admiration for him. On the contrary, Shadow Rider had already done well, he just encountered a foe that he couldn't possibly defeat. His time was merely running out.

Inside Yingland's Virtual Mecha Battle Room, the students looked at Ophelia with nothing but admiration. Standing as a proxy teacher at only 19, she was a situation never seen before. She held significant sway in the military, who could be her opponent in Copper Hill if they had half her might?

Clang! With an explosion, the titanium alloy sword slipped from Shadow Rider's hand and he was directly knocked away by the spear point of Ophelia…The sight was enough to stir a sense of dread in the Shadow Rider camp! A weapon is a warrior's second life, luckily, in the moment when the sword slipped from his hand, he swung empty air and immediately caught the alloy sword - the data showed that Shadow Rider had just endured a gravity increase equivalent to 14G in an instant. This was the limit of Phantom Kill, its attack power had already exceeded the limits of Ophelia's physical endurance.

Yes, at this moment, Phantom Kill has reached its peak power. Without waiting for Shadow Rider to steady himself, the Gun Rider's auxiliary propulsion engine exploded with a muffled sound. The Mecha charged directly towards Revenge Shadow Rider, utilizing a highly advanced forward assault technique. A true rapid advance that required a minimum hand speed of 200 points. Only by activating multiple propulsion systems simultaneously could one perform such a rapid advance; Ophelia clearly achieved this. Witnessing such a rapid advance was truly quite a spectacle.

The roaring Gun Rider transformed into a beam of light, as the unstoppable spear aim directly for Shadow Rider...

At this moment, it seemed as if time had frozen, and the expressions on people's faces varied. But one thing was certain - the outcome. Shadow Rider couldn't possibly dodge this attack. Even Emily, at this moment, wasn't watching with a distracted gaze, instead, focusing intently on the changes taking place between the two contenders.

Could Shadow Rider block this attack? The answer in everyone's heart was impossible! If he couldn't even block the first attack, how could he block the strongest attack?

Clang! The attack was successfully blocked, Ophelia's strike wasn't as strong as everyone imagined, it seemed to even be weaker than before.

Only a few knew, among this crowd, including Emily, the elites of Yingland, and all the audience members with a broad understanding of Mecha combat, that this attack was merely a buffer for the final killing move.

Just as Shadow Rider was preparing his defense, Ophelia's finishing spear-thrust suddenly materialized. It was so precise that there seemed to be no build-up beforehand, it suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes, giving an unreal illusion.

No need to watch any longer, Emily withdrew her gaze indifferently. A battle with a predetermined outcome wasn't at all interesting to her. Comparatively, she was more interested in the upcoming student battles between the major military schools in the next few months. Ah, was Sheng Qiangwei still striving in Wind Thunder? If possible, she really wanted to see that old friend of hers, and of course, him, the man who easily defeated her... She wondered if he would recognize this Emily when the time came?

Now, the audience watching online was calm. Revenge Shadow Rider was just an ordinary player after all, inherently disadvantaged when fighting against a real military school ace. Even if Shadow Rider lost this battle, it would not matter.

Now, Ophelia has executed her strongest attack. The slow-motion capture system of the Intelligent Brain showed that both Mecha's movements had completely stopped, only her spear continued its smooth thrust without any pause, despite the slowed footage. At this moment, it seemed as if the world had lost all its colors.

No, wait, at least Shadow Rider was still barely controlling his Mecha under this state, but his movement couldn't keep up with the overwhelming momentum of the Silver Spear! Seeing the threatening blade tip so close to him, he asked himself truthfully, Can I dodge it? A bitter smile appeared in Feng Yi's mouth, honestly speaking, absolutely not! Even Feng Yi himself had no better solution at this point.

But, he was not willing to lose this battle, he was not afraid of defeat, but he was not willing to give up easily. If he went down here, then his defeat on future battlefields would not be far off, and what would everything he had done till now count for? Regrets haunted Feng Yi as he kept questioning himself, Lasso's teachings from childhood, the great love of the Federation's warriors, he was a man burdened with guilt. All this was like a noose around Feng Yi's neck, making him unbearable, suddenly, a fierce light flashed in Feng Yi's eyes and his face turned ferocious...

Whoosh whoosh…

Revenge Shadow Rider swung his sword sideways in retaliation and the spearhead with its silver light clashed against the two firelines and disappeared from the big screen in a flash…

Ophelia could only feel a brilliant light before her eyes. It was frighteningly fast, so fast that her brain was unable to process any reactions.

'Revenge Shadow Rider' dulled, clank! The spearhead broke, followed by a loud explosion, Gun Rider shattered within the raging fire.

"The victor, Yingland... " The voice of Bloodline Battle Vehicle faltered, "The victor, Revenge Shadow Rider."

Ophelia sat in front of the battlestation dumbfounded, with the unbelievable voice reaching everyone's ears making them feel lost and helpless. "Impossible, this is impossible..."

After staring blankly for a while, she finally decided not to log out, opting instead to join the hundreds of thousands of spectators in witnessing what had happened in that instant.

When the replay started, people only saw a flame-blazing light cutting off the spearpoint and the Mecha. It was definitely not a single attack, at least two, but no matter how slow the shot was or how special the close-up scene was, there was only one glimpse of the brilliant flame…
