Those who only watched the match might think it was simply a miracle, but those who saw the replay gasped in unison. Within minutes of the replay appearing on the forum, there was a silent blank period—but shortly after, the forum exploded as countless players posted their comments.
This BS001 pilot is simply too powerful. Players suspect he is either a USE or NUP ace pilot,
Some experienced players compared footage from half a month ago and found that within just half a month, Bladesman's strength had undergone a qualitative leap — his attacks were fiercer, and his improvement in piloting was like night and day, controlling the BS001 as effortlessly as a fantasy mech.
Players immediately launched a wave of challenges, while Bladesman's fans posted comments hoping that higher-level players would take the initiative to challenge him. Without exaggeration, players below the rank of major stood no chance against Bladesman, unless another equally freakish player emerged.
Li Feng wasn't interested in the commotion outside. From the fight he had just finished, he had summed up quite a bit of experience — in fact, there had been no need to jump at all. If there had been more than two opponents, it would have been extremely dangerous. The best choice would have been a lateral move, launching an easier attack when the enemy landed.
But also because the opponent was too weak — in a one-on-one situation, some other methods could also be tested. This time, he incidentally verified the feeling of exerting force midair and maintaining balance.
Li Feng didn't log off. He sent out an open challenge request, meaning anyone could challenge him, with no level restrictions.
The players who had been making such a big ruckus didn't actually dare to step up. Clearly, Bladesman was no longer a fluke or a miracle — he was a true top-tier expert who was ruthless as hell. Without some real skill, nobody was willing to be cannon fodder.
And at this moment, a somewhat worthy opponent appeared — very famous, ID: Red Pole, a female player, rank: Colonel！
This was a fantasy mech user, but reaching the rank of Colonel meant she definitely had some skill. Fantasy mechs placed much lower demands on the pilot's body, allowing many more maneuvers, while their equipped firepower was also on a completely different level. And Red Pole possessed the quite advanced Mirage 733！
The Mirage 733 has stealth capabilities — it can mimic the environment to fool visual sight, absorb radar waves, and its metal exterior is coated with a heat-insulating layer that renders infrared detection useless. Plus, this model is equipped with powerful long-range firepower and doesn't engage in close combat at all.
The challenge from Red Pole couldn't have come at a better time. This model can easily overpower the opponent. If it loses again, the real experts probably won't be able to sit still. This is also a beginner-level decisive battle！
Even before the match started, the number of registered players had already reached 1.8 million！
The system immediately made adjustments, extending the registration time by fifteen minutes so players could inform each other, while also issuing a system announcement. Of course, Li Feng also benefited from this broadcast—the system would give him five percent of the profits, which helped the usually impatient Li Feng wait calmly.
After all, he was human, and living meant eating. Not to mention he had to attend military school, and the tuition was a huge expense. He didn't want to burden his family, nor did he want to always rely on Ma Ka's help.
Seeing there were fifteen minutes left, some players immediately logged off.
"Hey, buddy, come back quick! Red Pole is challenging the Bladesman!""
"That gorgeous girl Red Pole? Ah, the Bladesman is back?""
"No shit, hurry up! Holy crap, the Bladesman's skill has reached a mind-boggling level!""
"Damn, save me a spot! I'll be right there!""
"Lao Jia, hurry up! The Bladesman is out! He just insta-killed another captain, and now he's about to challenge Red Pole!""
"Damn, I'm at work right now！""
"Take leave! That guy just used the BS001 to pull off a jump that surpassed the Kanno Type Three, then performed a mid-air combat triple slash that cut his opponent in two!" The person on the other end of the Tianxun was already impatient—missing this would be a huge loss!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier?! Screw taking leave—I'm ditching work! Save me a spot, no matter how much it costs!""
Suddenly, a lot more people started ditching work and skipping class. Some even got a Tianxun and dashed out of the classroom right under the teacher's stunned gaze. The teacher was dumbfounded.
A moment later, the teacher also rushed out of the classroom...
The viewership rate of 3.5 million also set a new record for Li Feng. Due to insufficient preparation, he couldn't accommodate more people, so other players could only watch the text live stream or wait for the replay.
BS001 vs Phantom 733. Back in the day, if players saw such a matchup, they'd definitely think that Phantom 733 guy was totally shameless—there was no suspense at all. But now, although players still think Phantom 733 has the absolute advantage, when it comes to who'll win, they really wouldn't dare say, after all, the opponent is Bladesman！
Who knows what killer move he'll pull out.
Red Pole was a bit excited too. Actually, she had been following Bladesman for a long time. Although Bladesman had performed well before, his mecha was way too outdated and stood no chance against her Phantom 733. But now she actually had some anticipation, and since the usual level was no longer enough to challenge him, she made herself the first.
Red Pole is the type of player who doesn't hide her looks, and she's one of the rare beauties in Universe War. Piloting the Phantom 733, a lightweight fantasy mecha, doesn't require much physical strength, so Red Pole definitely isn't a muscle girl. That's also why she's pretty popular—guys, you all know how it is.
Bladesman never actively chooses the environment, as if he can adapt to any battle conditions. Red Pole wasn't polite either and directly selected a forest environment, which is most favorable for the Phantom 733.
For the lightweight Phantom 733, it can use camouflage stealth, and the forest environment will also hinder the movement of the heavy BS001！
Private Bladesman VS Colonel Red Pole！
Both sides had plenty of fans. Female players piloting fantasy mecha is perfectly understandable—it's quite accepted among players. After all, you can't expect women to grow men's muscles, that wouldn't be good either, it'd be an eyesore.
