But this answer caught the attention of a few military personnel. 'See'—more accurately, it was perception. A battle-hardened warrior could sense killing intent. Though mimicry was hard to distinguish, it wasn't completely impossible. For certain exceptional individuals, it could still be detected, but only in veterans who had survived the killing fields... who was this Bladesman?
People with skills like his usually couldn't be bothered to think much, but Bladesman clearly had the power to attack head-on, yet he deliberately chose a safer misleading tactic. His combat mind was equally mature—this kind of person was the most terrifying!
And judging by the ruthlessness of his final strike, he was definitely a professionally trained expert!
For Li Feng, this was perfectly normal. If he only relied on reckless courage, even a hundred lives wouldn't be enough to save him. Winning by achieving the greatest victory with the smallest loss was the true way. As for being vicious in his attacks, that was only natural—since he had to win, he naturally couldn't give the opponent any chance. If the opponent hadn't been a woman, he would have twisted her head right off.
Just when people thought Bladesman would disappear like before, Li Feng was still there, his ID status still read 'Accepting Challenges.'
The players on this forum spontaneously united, beginning to recommend the players they recognized in their hearts. Besides the pinnacle experts at general level, it was also difficult to find a school-officer level player with an absolute advantage over Bladesman, after all, even the overwhelmingly superior Crimson Pole had been utterly defeated!
They needed an expert to step up!
Especially the high-scoring players, they spontaneously demanded that a strong player stand up to prove their scores. In front of the negative-score Bladesman, their scores became a joke. He was a private, but an invincible private!
But once it reached school-officer level, the players also had to consider saving face. Obviously, this Bladesman's terror had reached an unimaginable level. Crimson Pole was a woman, so even if she lost, it was nothing. But if a male player stepped up, they would truly become a foil for Bladesman.
A full ten minutes passed, and still no worthy figure dared to accept the challenge. Of course, those lower-level players were automatically skipped. They had only come with the idea of gaining fame, so Li Feng didn't want to waste time.
Li Feng was getting impatient. He still needed to download some exam materials. Dragging this out wasn't interesting. Just when he was about to leave, a worthy figure finally appeared.
ID: Marksman Centurion, rank Senior Colonel, using NUF's standard model Knight TM with a stunning win rate, also a well-known figure in the gaming circle. Just from the ID, you could guess a thing or two. He was a real-world player, and his use of the laser gun had reached a sublime level, with practical combat being even more formidable.
The players also realized that you basically couldn't play close combat against Bladesman. Once in close quarters, BS001 would transform from a sheep into a tiger. And a long-range killer was exactly BS001's nemesis. Moreover, the Knight had a superior machine type compared to its opponent, being better in both weight and overall combat power, especially since the pilot was an Evanthian.
Evanthians can unleash the full power of the Knight TM, and the appearance of Sniper Hundred Battles drew even more attention. The once silent players immediately buzzed with excitement, and Li Feng quickly chose to accept after sizing up his opponent.
Private BS001 VS Knight TM
Sniper Hundred Battles didn’t issue the challenge on a whim; he had observed all of Bladesman’s matches. It would be extremely difficult to defeat him in close combat—only at long range, using overwhelming firepower and precise marksmanship, could he take him down.
As always, Bladesman let his opponent choose the environment. Sniper Hundred Battles didn’t hesitate either; the private before him was the most terrifying private in history.
Location: Sandstone Plains.
No cover whatsoever, allowing him to maximize his marksmanship while limiting his opponent.
Li Feng still accepted without hesitation. He hadn’t had a chance to practice his shooting, and this was the perfect opportunity to go up against a Knight TM.
The third battle drew over five million live viewers. During this time, the officials also made preparations—if they couldn’t seize such an opportunity, they might as well shut down. This viewership rivaled even general-level battles, yet the main attraction was a legendary private!
In earlier fights, Bladesman had also demonstrated his shooting skills once, but unfortunately, there had been no follow-up. The Private BS001’s laser destructive power was only two-thirds of the Knight TM’s, and the intervals between shots were three seconds longer, putting him at a serious disadvantage in a firefight.
Both sides took their positions on the Sandstone Plains. As soon as they appeared, they hoisted their laser rifles. The Knight TM’s laser rifle was also equipped with a targeting system.
Sniper Hundred Battles was an active-duty soldier in the NUP, and a special forces operator among mobile suit pilots—a sniper!
A specialist tasked with eliminating the enemy’s ace mobile suits on the battlefield, he was a true warrior. His abilities were even easier to utilize in this kind of environment.
So the engagement distance is at most fifty meters. Even if the opponent is fast, they can't close in under laser fire, especially since the terrain here is flat and open—sand and gravel is also unfavorable for a mobile suit's high-speed sprint.
At the start of the battle, with a whir, Knight TM's laser rifle was already on his shoulder, locking onto the target in almost a second—basic for an excellent sniper. And Marksman Through Hundred Battles wasn't going to give the opponent any breathing room; the laser fired immediately.
At the same time, BS001, which usually waits to counter, didn't stay put this time. It instantly dashed sideways, leaving a deep hole in its original spot. The bulky BS001 shifted positions as agilely as an antelope on the plains. Even though it was open ground, not even Marksman Through Hundred Battles could track its movements.
A master knows at a glance. Seeing BS001's movement, Marksman Through Hundred Battles knew he had met his match. This guy was clearly trained to dodge lasers and had been through countless battles.
As for lasers, Li Feng had lost all fear. Anyone who's been hit by lasers a hundred times gets used to it, and he knew their strengths and weaknesses like the back of his hand.
The temperature in the gravel plain was slightly higher, causing lasers to diffuse, slow down, and drift upward a bit. Though subtle, this was crucial in a fight between experts.
BS001 started to fight back. The first shot sent a chill down Marksman Through Hundred Battles' spine. BS001's targeting system was terrible, but if that shot hadn't been blocked by Knight's shield, his guidance system would have been destroyed.
Is this guy even human?
Calm down, you must stay calm!
