Returning laser fire, Sharpshooter instinctively increased his rate of attack to reduce his opponent's chances to strike, but Li Feng felt nothing of this so-called pressure. In just three minutes, he had mastered the rhythm of his opponent's gunplay. This guy wasn't bad, but he relied too heavily on the machine, having to lock on before every shot—that posed no threat to Li Feng at all.
Li Feng began a full counterattack. Though the intervals between his laser shots were wide, every single one made KnightTM incredibly miserable. He considered himself quite skilled at dodging, and with his knight shield, he could normally feel perfectly safe. But Li Feng's attacks were so devious—for instance, a laser aimed at the legs would target the joint precisely. Getting hit anywhere else was no big deal, but getting hit there was dangerous.
And Li Feng was making these attacks while dodging laser fire himself, often firing mid-air during a jump.
Sharpshooter suddenly realized something: his opponent was no ordinary person. He was actually a rare blind sniper, needing no lock-on or aiming, terrifyingly precise like a machine！
The more he thought about it, the more pressure he felt. Sharpshooter began focusing on defense, becoming more cautious. The BS001's laser was weak, and the knight shield could block it—no matter how accurate the opponent was, it would be useless.
Sharpshooter's defense was airtight, leaving the players watching in stunned amazement. Might as well rename Bladesman "Miracle Warrior"—they had thought this would be a BS001 escape battle, but soon after it started, the roles reversed. KnightTM was the one holding his shield up like a BS001, while the BS001 was the true sniper.
Only then did people realize: Bladesman not only possessed terrifying close-combat skills, his marksmanship was in no way inferior. Although they couldn't see where his shots were aimed, judging by how tense KnightTM was, every shot must have dealt enough damage. Hitting a target was one thing, but hitting the target's weak points—that was truly terrifying.
Li Feng's draw wasn't fast, but the rhythm, placement, and timing of each shot were masterful, fully immersed in the combat state.
This was the peculiar state Li Feng had been trained into by Devil Gold—once he entered it, he reached peak performance, and by that point, Knight TM's defeat was already sealed, with Li Feng showing no sign of closing in.
Another laser blast. Shenqiang Baizhan hurriedly raised his shield to block, this time aimed at his lower body. Yet just as the knight’s shield came down, the system issued a severe danger warning—a flash of white light shot straight toward his head in his line of sight.
Shiiing...
The titanium blade stabbed directly into the top of Knight TM's helmet—more precisely, it pierced through the eye. Listening to the crackling sparks by his ear, Shenqiang Baizhan's face turned ashen. This defeat wasn’t just a loss; his confidence and pride were utterly shattered.
Right after the titanium blade was thrown, four more shots followed in succession: one at the neck, one at the shield-holding left hand, one at the laser gun, and the fourth—right after the shield fell—hit the power unit dead on.
Boom...
Shenqiang Baizhan was 100% exploded, and his ID went offline immediately. After that, the ID Shenqiang Baizhan was never seen again in Universe Wars. Meanwhile, in the NUP military, a sniper filed for retirement.
Having finished this battle, Li Feng didn’t bask in the cheers; he went offline directly. But right before logging off, he received a system notification—his account would be credited with 500,000 US dollars as revenue from the live stream.
The sudden windfall jolted Li Feng a bit, but he didn’t dwell on it. Material things no longer had much impact on him now, though it was nice to improve his living situation.
After going offline, Li Feng calmed down. 500,000 US dollars？
I can buy my dad a maglev car now; commuting by bus every day is too tough. I'll also set aside some for my mom. The rest can go toward training equipment, or I could just go straight to an advanced fighter gym. After all, if I took it all out, my identity would be exposed. But if I just withdraw twenty or thirty thousand, I can say I won the welfare lottery—that shouldn't be a problem.
Players have already gotten used to Bladesman's habit of coming and going like a dragon, rarely showing his full form. The first thing they do is watch the replay. While the live scene was intense and thrilling, some parts were hard to follow, but a playback reveals many details. When people freeze-framed the slow motion at the exact moment BS001 leaped backward, twisted sideways, and aimed its laser at Knight's knee joint, they were all stunned.
What kind of targeting system is that? Is this mobile suit actually a super soldier disguised in BS001's shell?
Of course, that's impossible！
Consortiums have already put up bounties for the real identity of Bladesman. If someone like this were to lead their private armed forces, it'd be one hundred percent secure. One against a hundred might be an exaggeration, but with this person's skills and intelligence, as long as the environment is right, taking on dozens of opponents alone is no problem at all—this has become everyone's consensus.
Li Feng's battle footage keeps getting replayed and has climbed to second place on every major video chart. The top spot is held by NUP's popular singer Angel Carly's latest music video, and Li Feng's battle video is the only thing that can threaten her position. This shows just how popular Bladesman is right now.
Players keep studying the moves and tactics in the footage, and the more they analyze, the more terrifying it seems. What kind of training could produce a fighter like this? No one believes this is just an ordinary person's skill level—absolutely impossible.
Because of the hype, USE and NUP mobile suit pilots also watched the video. Those who haven't played the game don't quite believe it, but those who have know exactly how terrifying this person is. If someone can pull off moves like that in Star Wars using BS001, even at the worst, they could still perform them in real life with a standard model.
Considering the opponent's situation, in reality, using the environment makes them even more troublesome.
In the end, this matter still caught the military's attention.
