29 Chapter 26 - Masters Never Look Back at Explosions _1

Several people left in disappointment, leaving only a handful who stayed in front of the big screen, wanting to wait for an outcome. They would rather die knowing than being ignorant, among them was Yoyou.

She... was waiting for Li Hao. When she saw his first-person perspective, she felt it was incredible, because anyone with normal thinking would not make such a choice.

Within the campus of the Cougar Military Institute.

"Boss, this guy is quite... extreme." A team member implied, pointing to his own head.

No matter how strong a person is, if they underestimate their opponent, it's unlikely they'll go far. This concept was fully validated in this Mech War Contest. USE underestimated NUP's light mecha and Mars' beasts. USE always utilized light, medium, and heavy mechas, having developed a focus on medium mechas. However, this battle made USE reconsider, they can't train everything but should hone their own style

Without saying a word, Robbie silently shook his head, feeling uncertain inside. It's not like him, did time change everything?

Some people backed down from what happened years ago. He and a few others had tried to share the burden, either proving the distinction between right and wrong or sharing the burden. However, their requests were rejected. Five years have passed... has everyone changed?

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Fire Spider launched an attack from behind, essentially attacking a blind man. This harassing tactic put the enemy into a constant high-stress situation, losing judgment once past the breaking point.

The mecha's short legs simultaneously stabbed towards the back of the Armored Dragon. But at that moment, the Armored Dragon Mech suddenly soared up, unsheathing his titanium blade – Yanfei's counterattack!

The attacking Fire Spider instantly backed off, its four long legs sharply folded, quickly losing height to dodge the Armored Dragon's sudden assault, while maintaining a low posture to increase the distance.

For a moment, the whole screen was filled with sighs of regret. Such a great opportunity missed! Had the Fire Spider been just a bit careless, getting hit by the blade would have given them a chance for victory.

He was so damn cautious!

A sneer crawled onto the corner of Dark DJ's mouth. Trying to play stealthy, still too naïve. He had carefully studied this puppet. He was good at psychological counterattacks. After failing in several provocations, he was already alert. The opponent was swiftly adapting to the dark environment, while also familiarizing himself with his attack style.

However, he underestimated the Martian Warriors greatly.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud…

The Fire Spider's footsteps dramatically magnified, hitting heavily, and then echoes filled the entire cave.

Thump, thump, thump, thump... thud, thud, thud, thud... thump...

The chaotic sounds completely filled the battlefield, "Let's see how you track my location from the sound now!"

Swoosh…

Boom…

The attacks from Fire Spider began to take effect, and Armored Dragon mecha fell into passive defense again. Just as everyone thought Fire Spider would initiate a follow-up attack, a loud explosion sent the Fire Spider flying.

It did a somersault, stumbling to stabilize itself. It felt like Dark DJ's chest was in turmoil. What the hell is this thing?

Did he just use the contact of the weapons to pinpoint his location? If he hadn't reacted fast enough, it would have been dangerous. The Fire Spider was a light mech, known for its agility and technique.

The Armored Dragon in the battlefield stopped moving again. Zhuang Zhou and others didn't even dare to breathe. It was damn close, this opponent was as cautious as a rat. Any slight disturbance would instantly increase the distance. This characteristic of the Martians was very wolf-like, bestowed upon them by their totem, sly and crafty, not just fierce.

This kind of enemy is the hardest to deal with.

Dark DJ knew he couldn't give his opponent any chance to breathe. Master fighters would adapt to the dark increasingly well. If he completely understood his attacking style, victory and defeat became unpredictable.

The Fire Spider, again, started to move with echoing thumps. This time, not attacking, but orbiting around the Armored Dragon Mecha, holding the initiative, leaving the Armored Dragon Mecha to wait.

However, within everyone's view, the Fire Spider gradually ascended while moving around, suddenly climbing to the top of the cave, directly above the Armored Dragon Mecha, evidently still checking his surroundings.

In previous attacks, they mostly came from the sides or behind, utilizing even half-bodied attack strategies.

But this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please behold, the Fire Spider's deadliest move, Dark DJ's fatal rhythm—Heaven Falls!" Fireman spread his arms, calling out in his deep voice...

The Fire Spider's eight legs spread wide, looming from above, ready to harvest!

Boom…

......…

???

The Armored Dragon stood tall, upholding the titanium blade in its left arm. A gigantic Fire Spider was skewered on it, the blade penetrating right through the abdomen of the Fire Spider.

Woosh...Boom…

The titanium blade swung suddenly, splitting the Fire Spider's abdomen open while tossing it out.

Rumbling…

The Fire Spider hit the cave wall, sparks flying off its twisted body…

How is this possible???!!!

Everyone was dumbstruck. Why did this happen? The Fireman's live chats were in chaos. It's impossible. Why?

Fireman's intense narration suddenly stopped, and at this moment, Dark DJ had no time to think, his mecha was about to explode. Damn, he just happened to hit the engine.

But, there is one final chance!

The tilted head of the Fire Spider started to rotate, red lights flashing. Yes, he was going for a double knockout. He didn't need to hit the Armored Dragon, merely firing anywhere would cause an explosion. Then… it would be a draw!

In the VIP room on the Earth side, responses in different languages surfaced. Martian people were continuing their shamelessness. They would accept this?

However, on the Mars side, the audience was cheering for Dark DJ's quick thinking and decisiveness. Clever, decisive!

And at that moment, a flicker passed by.

Whoosh...

A titanium knife was accurately plunged into the head of the Fire Spider, Boom...

The puppet won!

Roar~~~~~~~~~~

Zhuang Zhou, who had been holding back for a while, roared with a wave of his arm, and his roommates behind him also jumped with joy. "We won! We won! We won! Good job, Puppet Master!"

"Awesome, man, I had lost hope, but you managed to turn it around. From now on, the puppet master is my only true god!"

This heartfelt joy completely ignited Zhuang Zhou's live stream room, making it the first time his live stream viewership exceeded one million.

But on Mars, Fireman's live stream peaked at 3.5 million. However, Fireman wasn't happy. A lot of Earthlings flooded in to troll, leaving the Martians a little overwhelmed.

The question is, how the fuck could they lose? Is there no justice left in the world?

No, No, No!

There's something wrong! That attack just now, even if Yoyou noticed the Fire Spider on top, it should be the Fire Spider who landed the blow first. How did Yoyou hit the Fire Spider first?

Also, how could a titanium knife hit the Fire Spider in the head in that situation????

Even if there was a laser, it wouldn't necessarily be that precise, let alone throwing a knife?

It's not just the ordinary audience who are confused, even the military school experts like Robby are baffled.

They don't know either, what the fuck just happened???

It's going to take a while for the replay of the winning blow in slow motion. Both live stream rooms are about to explode. This defies common sense. This is impossible. There must be a bug!

The EMP hall in Tianjing was buzzing again. Occasionally, some people rushed out from the training room.

"What, we won? Who won, the puppet? Fuck, you're bullshitting!"

"What, we won? We really won???"

A crowd rushed out. Yoyou was among them. As a girl and non-combatant, though she had watched several matches, she didn't quite understand. But at this moment, she seemed to get it. It was a miracle amidst despair.

There was no exception, the Dark DJ got kicked.

The replay of the finishing blow was shown.

As the Fire Spider moved towards the top of the cave, it made a distinct sound. Despite the confusion, top players could still make judgments. But that's not the issue. The image suddenly froze, revealing a marked location within a red circle.

As the video continued, it was only then that everyone realized, Yoyou had moved. He moved to a slightly elevated spot, but overall his height didn't increase as Yoyou's legs were bent.

And the Fire Spider did not notice this detail. Besides, who would ever think of this?

Then completely misjudged the attack distance and got finished off by Yoyou's blade.

A screen full of exclamation marks, this detail was heaven-defying.

It could be said that everything the Fire Spider was trying to do was within Yoyou's prediction.

The most brilliant hunters always disguise themselves as the prey.

The battle environment is passive, the mech's performance is passive. Things that cannot be changed, yet the prey walks right into the trap.

It's terrifying.

However, it's not over yet, the game hasn't ended. The Fire Spider tried to drag Yoyou with it to the grave. The camera then switched to Yoyou.

Yoyou casually threw his titanium knife, and it flew out.

...

There was a deadly silence in both live streams. What kind of accuracy was that???

Was he a knife-throwing contestant?

The coolest part was, after the knife was thrown, Yoyou didn't even look at his target.

Highlighted on the giant screen, it was exceptionally cool, and creepy.

The Earth's live stream room had completely exploded. The audience could no longer suppress their enthusiasm. This wasn't a virtual mode, this was real mode. The internet sensation who came out from the virtual mode was now a real god!

There's a lot of howling coming from the EMP halls of various military schools on Earth. After the downfall in the machine weaponry tournament, every Earthling was yearning for a redemption, for someone to save face.

Someone who can truly stand up and fight!

And such a person appeared, but who would have thought it would be a player from the virtual zone.

Li Hao rubbed his face, yawned, it seemed like his scores were still too low. These opponents didn't present much of a challenge, always trying to sneak around. Need to think of a quick scoring method. EMP has various special training ratings, which are quick points. That's how Zuo Xiaotang rid himself of being last, leaving it to him....

Always felt like something was missing...

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!

Li Hao quickly logged out. He got so absorbed in the game, he had left Yoyou waiting outside for an hour. He was acting like an absolute idiot.
