20 minutes before the battle begins, the four commentators for the Revenge Shadow Riders arrive, who as the public face, have to make some simple arrangements before the commentary starts.
Swoosh!
A flash of white light and Mengdie logs into Star Wars exactly 10 minutes ahead. The Mengdie at this moment is not the one everyone is familiar with. After all, her identity was exposed during the fight with Sky Shadow, hence there was no need to conceal it. Even so, the real face of Mengdie still carries a hint of mystique under her veil, along with her grey-green hair flowing in the wind, she was as beautiful as a water lotus, or a snowy azalea.
Mengdie no longer carries her initial aura of cold beauty and unapproachability. Instead, she exudes an ethereal grace that's refreshingly cool like the wind, capturing countless fans in the span of a few breaths...
In the five minutes leading up to the start of the battle, the First Server showed frequent signs of network lag. In this day and age, such lag is rare, indicating the immense popularity of the Revenge Shadow Riders.
In the end, Sky Shadow chooses to log into the video feed to closely observe the two fighters. To be honest, he did not hold much hope for the Revenge Shadow Riders, but still harbored a sense of camaraderie. He did not want them to fail, after all, in a way, the Revenge Shadow Riders had already proven themselves, but Mengdie was different, why was she here?
One could argue that her victory was purely based on speed, not on direct confrontation with brute force. Sky Shadow disagreed with this outcome, but he could not think of any other solutions. The saying "in the world of martial arts, only speed is invincible" held true in many ways. Normally, strength and physical fitness are directly proportional. That is to say, the stronger you are, the faster and more agile you are.
But Mengdie was different. When she delivered her blows, they were not powerful enough to knock him out in one hit. It suggested that perhaps Mengdie's speed wasn't as fast as she made it appear to be. Could it be some secret technique? The Revenge Shadow Riders were in danger for this fight unless they piloted a mecha. If they were smart, they wouldn't choose to fight in the mecha, but being Revenge Shadow Riders was both their strength and major weakness.
Not only Sky Shadow, but Rekart's Sword Dragon had also quietly logged into the official Star Wars website. Sword Dragon had once fought with the Revenge Shadow Rider on the Death Planet. Although Sword Dragon didn't know how they looked, he had to admit their shockingly powerful single combat ability far surpassed that of Duolin. Yet Mengdie's speed was too fast...
In close combat, any attack without form would weaken the power of the experienced fighters. When power reaches a certain level, it can easily kill an ordinary person but it would also cause a backlash to the body, resulting in injuries. Therefore, fighters of this level usually prioritize their own defense and rarely go on the offensive.
Mengdie's level seemed to be a notch higher than the master of defense. She simply won't give her opponent a chance to get close. Sword Dragon even had no doubts that while he was shooting a bullet, Mengdie could catch up with it and send it back in a flash. What confidence could the Revenge Shadow Rider have against such an opponent?
The audience in the arena is all cheering and hollering...spectators outside are also continuously showing their support for the two competitors by placing their bets...
There are many people betting on the Revenge Shadow Rider to win, and of course, there are also many supporters for Mengdie. Now the question that most concerns people is whether the Revenge Shadow Rider will choose to pilot a mecha for the battle. If they pilot a mecha, their original chances of winning will take a big hit, and the opposite is true if they don't.
Therefore, the online gambling platforms are witnessing a strange trend, one group bets that the Revenge Shadow Rider will pilot a mecha for the battle. More than 99% of this group believe that Revenge Shadow Rider piloting the 0001 mecha will be invincible and the odds are as high as 15 times.
Then there's another group that believes the Revenge Shadow Rider is likely to battle without the mecha. Since the Sky Battle, blurry images of the Revenge Shadow Rider fighting individually have been captured, but they're probably not as good as Mengdie. So, over 87% of this group of people have placed their bets on Mengdie, with odds of 3 times.
Usually, by this time, the Revenge Shadow Rider would have logged on, but now, even when there are only 5 minutes left before the battle, there is still no news from them. This makes the commentators very anxious and the special guests on the side awkward. It's obvious that Revenge Shadow Rider takes this match very seriously, and the chances of them backing out are virtually nonexistent.
Everyone calls the current director of Star Wars, the four-eyed man, as "Four Cakes". Lucky for them, Four Cakes had the foresight to have seven top singers ready to perform and liven up the atmosphere at any time.
As for the appearance fee, it doesn't exist, moreover, having the opportunity to present in such an event should actually earn Star Wars a high endorsement fee. Still, this seven-girl group are loyal fans of the Revenge Shadow Riders, their intentions aren't rooted in the profits but are sincere. They didn't even eat half a meal while waiting from morning to night just to have the possibility of performing before the Revenge Shadow Rider's fight, but drinks didn't seem to lessen.
