Chapter 6

Of course this is paid, the fee is very low, game manufacturers also make money from this. If it's a general-level battle, it often attracts millions of players to watch. Of course, at that level, they rarely fight easily. Even if they do fight, they can choose to block viewing. That's the privilege of generals.

Li Feng's hands moved rapidly over the controller. Today, he also felt something was different, as if the previous sense of obstruction and stagnation had disappeared, and the controls felt very smooth. Was it just an illusion?

Boom... click

Combat mode activated. The opponent's Kanno Type III was lightweight and easy to operate, facing much less resistance in the desert than the BS001. From the start, this Blood Shura didn't hold back. Maybe he was venting frustration he'd taken from others, wanting to regain his ground from this "celebrity" Li Feng. Right from the start, the Kanno Type III stepped forward with a steady rhythm, swinging the Alpha alloy blade and charging in.

An expert's moves reveal their skill at a glance. The watching players couldn't help but feel this Blood Shura was going too far. This guy had specifically modified the mobility system; the desert should be the optimal combat environment for this mech type. And judging by the fluidity of his movements, it was too professional!

Although Bladesman was experienced, in this situation, the battle could probably end in a single round. The viewers couldn't help but feel a bit disinterested.

Li Feng's BS001 stood there motionless. He rarely fought in desert environments because this mech type was too heavy and clumsy to move. When other players challenged him, they usually gave him some advantages to make the fight more interesting. He hadn't noticed the problem until he entered the battlefield, but by then it was too late. The BS001 was already showing signs of sinking — this was under full simulation conditions. The opponent's modified Kanno was clearly experienced, and the people he'd beaten before must have suffered from the same disadvantage.

But the opponent had already charged forward, at least a third faster than an ordinary Canuo-3. The Alpha Alloy Blade stabbed violently towards the waist of BS001, one of this model's weak points. In fact, this low-grade model had far too many flaws, but this attack showed the opponent's ruthlessness. Some players couldn't help but want to close the video—this Blood Shura was too shameless, clearly knowing BS001 was slow, yet still attacking there. It was totally pointless.

Having lost so many times like Li Feng, still not impatient or angry, and giving his all in every battle, he had earned quite a bit of goodwill. Even his opponents would maintain a certain level of respect.

Li Feng himself was also a bit dumbfounded. Although he wasn't afraid of losing, it wasn't supposed to be like this. In that moment, anger surged up, and his hands began to move at high speed. Even Li Feng probably didn't notice that his hands had already produced several afterimages from the speed.

The alloy blade had already thrust over, but at that moment, the bulky BS001 made an unbelievable reaction. The titanium sword was drawn like lightning, and at the same time its body suddenly rose up. The titanium blade slashed swiftly, and the heavy machine performed a difficult triple spin with a more than 30-degree tilt. It completely parried the opponent's alloy blade while also locking up the opponent's laser gun. With a resounding kick, it struck the Canuo-3's leg. Given the BS001's heft and strength, the Canuo-3's leg instantly snapped. And in just a blink, the titanium sword had swiftly slashed across the Canuo-3's neck.

Whoosh...

A metal head flew into the air, sparks crackling from the severed joint, followed closely by an explosion.

The remaining viewers, fewer than a hundred, were all stunned. The reason they hadn't left was that they didn't want to waste their Freedom Shield currency, but they actually got to see it!

They saw this incredible scene!

Thomas Roundhouse Kill!

Players subconsciously rubbed their eyes and chose to replay... God, a perfect Thomas Roundhouse Kill, even in the military, almost no one could pull it off with a basic model, and this Bladesman who had lost a hundred battles actually did it with the antique BS001!

And so Li Feng got his first win. Without too much joy, he immediately logged off, because he knew his own ability—back then, it was just a subconscious reaction. With a basic model, he had a seventy percent chance; in real combat, that odds would be even lower. Using BS001... he hadn't even dared to think about it, because it was simply impossible!

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Li Feng rushed toward the body tester. Could it be that after being hit by that meteor, his body had mutated?

(Note: The Thomas Roundhouse Kill is a move invented by Thomas, an ace pilot of the Evanthians NUP. This move is very difficult to execute on the four basic models, but on certain ace special models, it can unleash terrifying lethality, combining offense and defense.)

While Li Feng was testing his body, the Cosmic War Net was in an uproar. A glaring headline appeared—BS001's Perfect Thomas Roundhouse Kill, with a video attached.

As soon as this post went up, it got hundreds of thousands of clicks, and within ten minutes it broke ten million.

Whether you were a veteran player of the universe or a soldier, seeing that headline made you click in uncontrollably—and whoever saw it had only one reaction: Bloody hell!

And the Bladesman, known as the Hundred-Loss Soldier, instantly became a hot topic on the same level as the generals.

The players who had personally watched that match were way too excited. Watching a Thomas Roundhouse Kill from a free shield perspective was like a dream—and on the clunky BS001, no less!

Some high-level players were watching the replay with grim expressions, even slowing it down to the extreme and watching step by step. The faster they watched, the more serious they became. This was a spin that was even more standard than a soldier's, yet looking across NUP and USE, who could pat their chest and claim to pull off such a move with the BS001? Although there was still a difference between gaming and real combat, theoretically, what was possible in the game had a certain success rate in reality, not to mention that the opponent's movements were so natural and smooth.

Who exactly is the Bladesman?
