Yes, during the early matching stage of Galactic Warfare, there weren't many experts; instead, unexpected situations were more common. For this reason, Jiu Ling had become even more cautious.

Unnoticed, the crowd watching Jiu Ling's battles had gradually increased, evolving from dozens or nearly a hundred people in the initial stage to a massive audience of tens of thousands in the current Sky Ladder match, and the number of spectators was still skyrocketing...

A person's fame is as widespread as a tree's shadow. After all, Jiu Ling is not a minor character. You might say you don't recognize her, but you have definitely heard of her name. She is one of the top power pilots representing Saudi today. Although the Saudi Federation and her are in a competitive relationship, setting these aside, competitive gaming knows no national borders.

Two hours isn't particularly long, but news of Jiu Ling's Sky Ladder match spread through Saudi like a rocket. Netizens from all over Saudi chose to connect to the external network live stream to watch.

Kexiao was one of the first to learn of the news. He smiled. It seemed that the death of the Black Edge had indeed greatly stimulated Jiu Ling, which couldn't be better. If given the chance, he even wanted to arrange a special opponent for Jiu Ling—an unbeatable opponent, to let her suffer another defeat. Sometimes, when a person lets go of everything and falls into utter despair, they actually have the potential to transform miraculously. Jiu Ling was in precisely this situation now.

At that moment, as time passed, even the lowest-tier opponents Jiu Ling faced in the Sky Ladder matches had become of quasi-Red Robe Level. But this Red Robe was not the other Red Robe; it was recognized internally by the game, which still indirectly indicated that the difficulty of battles had been continuously escalating.

It's worth mentioning that there was a great deal of uncertainty in the matchups at this stage. Experts who could reach this stage, even veterans, could reach it mainly due to the mecha factor. In other words, under the influence of the mecha, veterans with good luck could fight their way up to this level. However, if a real Red Robe pilot were at this stage and piloted a superior mecha against Jiu Ling, the result would be equivalent to facing a White Robe, with Jiu Ling piloting a Sha Meng mecha against a White Robe.

But this was Jiu Ling's realization. Failure could not stop her. How could she hope to see the most beautiful sunrise if she couldn't even scale the mountain of failure? The fact proved that what Revenge Shadow Rider could achieve, Jiu Ling could achieve as well, or even do better.

At this moment, no one could ignore Jiu Ling's presence anymore. She, too, was piloting a Sha Meng mecha and defeating one opponent after another, from midday into the afternoon. Of course, as time progressed, the capabilities of Jiu Ling's opponents also kept on rising...

You should know that the Sha Meng is also an original Saudi mecha, and its performance is not much stronger than Phantom Knight 0001. In many aspects, it is actually much weaker, such as in terms of defense coefficients and power systems.

After a series of relentless victories, the news of Jiu Ling's sweep through the Federation's battle network quickly became a hot topic online, and the vast number of netizens were discussing who could defeat Jiu Ling? There's no doubt this was a question. Even though she faced Red Robe level players in the game, they were in-game Red Robes. As real-life White Robe experts, their combat experience was far superior to the in-game players. What's more, they were an entire level higher, and the in-game rank was not a strict reference.

Plainly speaking, compared to reality, this had to be greatly discounted. At least 10 to 20 percent, and at most 70 to 90 percent, if real-life Red Robe players were so easy to find, the Yate Federation would have unified the world long ago, wouldn't they have?

Obviously, despite the high-ranking players on the Sky Ladder with glorious battle records, even boasting undefeated statuses, when faced with the 0% win-rate Sha Meng, there was still a significant gap between the two sides.

Not discussing how strong Jiu Ling's abilities are, first we need to know what kind of person could reduce Jiu Ling's win rate to a pitiful 0%. That's the real crux of the issue—Revenge Shadow Rider. When most people hear this title, they wouldn't find it novel, for there is only one Revenge Shadow Rider in the world. God is unique, setting Jiu Ling aside, those who were stronger than her were also there, all equal before Shadow Rider.

But in this world, there are very few, apart from Revenge Shadow Rider, who dare say they can decisively overpower Jiu Ling. Jiu Ling has changed from her former self, no longer the 12-star general from before, but a true White Robe warrior who stands above the Star Generals. At the White Robe Stage, Jiu Ling doesn't back down from any opponent.

Of course, Sky Shadow also no longer fell within the ranks of the 12-star generals. Although he didn't know the foreign news, as a new generation talent, Dovir was the fresh successor following in Sky Shadow's footsteps. Maybe Dovir wasn't as dazzling as Sky Shadow, and his strength wasn't enough to rank among the top three of the 12 stars, but he too had exceptional potential and a legendary history that was talked about. It was said that Revenge Shadow Rider was half a master to Dovir.

Apart from Sky Shadow, it seemed that within the alliance, Raymond, Mirami, and Princess Dilia had also attained the White Robe standard through their unique ways. As for Reiko, she was probably in the White Robe Stage already, her defense alone was enough to render Raymond incapable of advancing or retreating, her strength was, at minimum, not any lesser — as for the opposing side, aside from Jiu Ling's outstanding achievements, it was genuinely hard to evaluate the rest of the star generals.

One thing was certain, when they were at the twelve-star general stage, Jiu Ling was ranked among the top three, and after reaching the White Robe standard, her personal strength would only become more prominent. It was only a matter of time before she would surpass the Soaring Sword Dragon and the Blue Lightning Rain, and precisely because of this, her potential was even more daunting.

The news of Jiu Ling decimating the online battle experts spread quickly. At least, quite a number of people here were aware, and Dovir was the first to become restless. It was said that Jiu Ling was present when Brother Mu Tou met his demise, and he feared she had a hand in it. As a new generation of the twelve star generals, he really wanted to meet this Jiu Ling.

As a public figure, and also as a super soldier, Dovir represented more than just himself — he represented the federation. Unfortunately, before he could make his request to his superiors, it was outright rejected by Angelina. She was a direct subordinate of Greedy Wolf; if Dovir couldn't get past Angelina, there was no point in even thinking about Greedy Wolf.

"Heehee, Dovir, you are still excellent, but..."

As for the reason for the rejection, the idea was good, but he still needed more experience. Dovir could hardly withstand the psychological blow from her, a super soldier—how could he think about facing Jiu Ling? Ah, the young people of today are just too impatient. He has a long way to go. Did he really think he was on the same level as Sky Shadow, who also ranked among the top three?

Dovir didn't say much. In fact, he just wanted to do something within his power for Brother Mu Tou. He suddenly realized he was still too young, too weak — too weak to even catch up with the two predecessors who guided him, whether it be the Revenge Shadow Rider or Brother Mu Tou. At least, Brother Mu Tou's marksmanship was a force to be reckoned with, even among the top White Robes, let alone the Revenge Shadow Rider.

But what could he do? From an academy genius to a twelve-star general, other than feeling pressure, he didn't feel capable of surpassing Sky Shadow in any aspect, in any respect.

"What are you thinking about?" Hugo approached Dovir without making a sound, his gaze drifting towards the misty rain outside the window...

"A lot."

"Like...?"

"Like..." Dovir hesitated for a while before saying, "Why can't I become stronger? I've been trying so hard."

Hugo laughed, "You are already strong. Aren't you, at least among those of your age? Think about those who are not as good as you but put in even more effort — in fact, everyone has their own path. How can one see a rainbow without experiencing storms? Many things can't be achieved by effort alone. It requires insight, facing things with heart, and sometimes, letting go of what should be let go is in itself a gain."

As if understanding, yet in the process of absorbing these words, Dovir was stunned for a full half-minute, "Thank you, Brother Hugo."

Watching his gradually receding figure, Hugo couldn't help but smile. When did he, this 'big brother,' almost become a psychological counselor? Ah well! All good, compared to offering psychological guidance, he hoped more that Dovir would go further. He himself had almost no room for advancement, but Dovir was different — he was the future of the federation.
