This question attracted countless people's attention, but even more so, challenges. Almost everyone thought it was just a fluke—after all, play enough games and a miracle or two will happen. The Bladesman's previous record was an utter defeat in one thousand three hundred and twenty-one battles. This win rate was already an anomaly in the game, and suddenly pulling off a Thomas Flare Slash was just too suspicious.
However, one couldn't help but notice that the Bladesman's opponent was no weakling. On the contrary, he was very ruthless, going all out even against a weaker foe. There was a high chance he was a professional soldier; only professional soldiers would use their full strength regardless of their opponent's skill—that was basic discipline.
At this moment, a young man was staring blankly at the screen. He wore a sharp military uniform and had a rugged build, yet his features were delicate, suggesting a meticulous mind. But no matter how hard he thought, he just couldn't figure it out！
As one of the Big Dipper of the Evanthians, he had only intended to try out an ordinary human mech and see what level these players were at. His previous twenty-five victories were all against higher-ranked opponents; his only two losses were to colonels whose mech bonuses far exceeded his own. He dared to guarantee that with the same mech, he could finish them off within ten moves... But he never imagined he would lose to a noob piloting a BS001. The reason he had chosen the Bladesman was because his profile had high attention; he hadn't even bothered to check his opponent's record.
But he actually lost... Although he felt he was a bit careless, the fact that someone using BS001 actually pulled off a Thomas Loop Rip Kill was a heavy blow to his pride.
“Yo, what’s got our handsome Kaiyang Star Jiang Yan looking so down? Playing that boring game again?” A slightly flashy female voice rang out, but she herself was even flashier.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Yan couldn’t help but frown. Zhang Linjing, the only daughter of the Iron Curtain Zhang family, one of the four great Evanthian clans, was also one of the Big Dipper Seven—Yuhang Star. Although she had a lousy temper, she was indeed pretty capable.
“Ah, you lost? Who beat you?”
Zhang Linjing saw the screen, but Jiang Yan quickly turned it off. The Big Dipper Seven were the seven most famous young people of the NUP generation, some students, some already soldiers, but not all of them got along. Someone born into a prestigious family like Zhang Linjing and someone from an ordinary family like Jiang Yan just didn’t click.
Zhang Linjing didn’t even look at Jiang Yan as she turned and left. She had a photographic memory; before Jiang Yan shut it off, she’d already memorized the opponent. Anyone who could frustrate Jiang Yan of the Big Dipper Seven this much must be pretty interesting.
And Jiang Yan was still replaying the slow-motion footage in his mind. From the battlefield choice to the final attack, it was flawless, yet he simply couldn’t imagine how the opponent could pull off a Thomas Loop Rip Kill under those circumstances—it was too ridiculous！
At that moment, Jiang Yan wasn’t the only one in confusion. Li Feng was also staring blankly at the test results... Everything was normal. The only difference was that his weight had increased by ten jin, but he couldn’t see any extra fat on the surface. It was really strange. Still, the feeling of pulling off that Thomas Loop Rip Kill had been incredibly satisfying. Could it have just been a one-time fluke? Li Feng couldn’t wait to verify it.
Logging back into Universe Battle, as soon as he connected, an even more intense flood of messages hit him—mostly challenges, and some even asking to learn... all kinds of stuff, including love letters from girls.
Li Feng ignored these messages, entered the personal training ground, maneuvered the mobile suit, took a deep breath, recalled the key points of the Thomas spin, and slid his hand quickly over the controller. BS001 immediately followed its operator's movements and performed the entire set of moves again.
Seeing the movements restored, Li Feng couldn't help but let out a wolf howl. He was F***ing so cool. The wheel of fortune had finally turned in his favor. Although he didn't know what had happened, Li Feng felt his strength and reflexes had greatly improved. Maneuvering the BS001 felt very natural; its enormous weight hardly hindered his control, which was why he could complete it so smoothly.
Although it hadn't been long, Li Feng's disappearance still stirred up quite a bit of grumbling. People thought that Bladesman, who had been losing all the time, had chickened out and that his one success was just a fluke. Reading these words, Li Feng just smiled. He didn't take winning or losing that seriously; he just wanted to gain experience piloting a mobile suit.
You can't achieve real success just by practicing alone. Everything needs to be tested in actual combat. So he quickly chose a second lieutenant from the challengers. This was Li Feng's first time fighting a player of such a high level. Of course, there were even higher-ranked ones, but Li Feng felt this rank was more appropriate. After all, he wasn't a masochist. The feeling of winning for the first time was great, and he couldn't wait to start his second match.
Firestorm Two Skies, Second Lieutenant. Evolved Beast-Type Mobile Suit Wolf Demon V2. Record: five hundred and ninety wins, two hundred and thirty-eight losses, twenty-five draws.
An old player with an overwhelming mobile suit. The Wolf Demon V2 is the game version, with increased agility and controllability, as well as enhanced firepower. He is a pure game player.
Players are divided into two major factions. One is the Realist faction, which advocates for basic models with slight modifications. The other is the Fantasy faction, which goes for over-the-top constantly updated equipment. Both sides have their own stance. The former focuses on improvement based on reality, while the latter pursues the greater thrill of high-performance combat.
The match between BS001 Bladesman and Wolf Demon V2 Fenghuo Liangchongtian immediately attracted widespread attention. Players were all here to see Bladesman, wondering if he could pull off another miracle.
A battle between a private and a second lieutenant actually attracted over a million concurrent viewers. This in itself was a miracle in the years since the Cosmic War game existed. People always have an uncontrollable passion for miracles, and the Cosmic War game officials also promoted this match to some extent.
Li Feng was actually a bit unaccustomed to receiving so much attention for the first time, but as soon as he stepped onto the battlefield, his heart calmed down. This was a long-established self-discipline, and now it had become especially steady. This time the battlefield was not a desert but an uneven rocky terrain. Anyway, Li Feng didn't care. He believed that a true warrior must adapt to any environment, any battlefield, and handle emergency situations, even those he was not good at. Only then could he become a truly qualified warrior.
