Cheng Konghai's Poking Shockwave was no longer concentrated enough; the power was insufficient. How could a guy who'd haunted internet cafes for five years compare?

The cheers from the audience rose in waves. With the championship at stake, no one dared to be careless or feel superior. Everyone knew Hailong was stronger before the match, but who would dare underestimate Tianjing Mecha? What kind of team was this?

But now, Klein finally had a definitive advantage. Cheng Konghai's signature fist had been severed. How could he fight?

How could he lose?

Klein smiled. "Ant, the Boss is the chosen one! Only by following the Boss can you reach the pinnacle of power!"

"You haven't won yet!" Cheng Konghai said in a deep voice. The mech's power had dropped by ten percent, and the situation was dire.

"Stubborn as a mule!"

Whoosh…

The Phantom instantly vanished, charging towards Ironclad Steel Fist. Having lost its weapon, Ironclad Steel Fist could only evade the scythe of death. With only a left arm remaining, its central defense was open, a highly precarious situation. And if this continued, Ironclad Steel Fist would definitely be the first to crumble.

"Crazy, Cheng Konghai's problem is he's too crazy. Klein had a perfect record coming in, while Cheng Konghai lost two matches. He has style, but not the corresponding strength, making him easily targeted and full of weaknesses. Is that why you ranked Cheng Konghai ahead of Klein?" Huo Nan finally dared to speak. Damn, he'd been scared by Mu Ou and his unreliable group. Klein's speed was advantageous, but he always felt fragile, unreliable. But the result... a total powerhouse!

Lacking a titanium arm, Cheng Konghai's defense was also vulnerable. He could only defend against fatal attacks. The Phantom executed a spinning kick, sending Ironclad Steel Fist tumbling. Thump, thump, thump...

The Phantom hovered and unleashed a series of kicks. Cheng Konghai roared, Ironclad Steel Fist slamming forward in a shoulder charge, but the Phantom nimbly performed a Swallow Flight Cross Slash. Instantly, space seemed to freeze as a massive cross of energy hurtled towards Ironclad Steel Fist.

Boom! Direct hit!

Ironclad Steel Fist was sent flying dozens of meters, crashing into the ruins. But the next second, the Phantom was already overhead, two K23 titanium swords drawing arcs of light in the air. Klein wore that harmless, adorable smile on his face, followed by a barrage of Poking Slashes targeting the point where Ironclad Steel Fist had landed.

Abyssal Mantis – Death Grinder! Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

Streaks of azure light slashed wildly at Ironclad Steel Fist. Within the ruins, Ironclad Steel Fist huddled into a ball, only able to defend.

The Hunters' mood sank. Indeed, both Cheng Konghai and Klein were top-tier warriors, but now they could feel Klein's lead. In the end, Cheng Konghai hadn't reached the pinnacle in these five years. He'd learned a lot in the virtual arena and changed some combat methods, but Klein hadn't been idle either. Failure had made the Shadow Sentinels deeply ashamed. They needed revenge, including Xili An, and also Klein. The Molafis family had given them the best training methods, the most comprehensive team support, and Klein and the others weren't normal either. Klein's Void Ripping was the ultimate in attack speed.

It was very similar to Romero's attack. Of course, Romero's Time Dilation was definitely stronger, but in terms of effect, Klein had at least six or seven tenths of it, without causing excessive strain on the body. That was the scariest part.

"The Ant can't hold on." Basta sighed softly, "Although his body has recovered, his progress can't compare to Klein's."

"This Void Ripping technique, concentrating power to a single point, is specifically designed to deal with Cheng Konghai. He's being targeted a bit too hard." Maxis smiled slightly, "The Shadow Sentinels are better prepared and in better condition. It seems Brother Li isn't paying much attention."

Chao Qinglong chuckled, "Don't be impatient."

"Oh, you think he still has a chance?" Maxis looked at his old rival, Chao Qinglong. Although he couldn't compete on the field anymore, the battle of insight was still interesting.

"There's always gotta be something new. The Ant isn't one to give up easily." Chao Qinglong said. Among the Hunters, it was hard to say who was the strongest after one person, but the bravest was definitely the Ant.

A barrage of attacks…

Under the suppression, Klein could clearly sense Ironclad Steel Fist's condition. Both he and Cheng Konghai were ultimate hunters, possessing extremely strong golden zone perception. Moreover, Klein also possessed stealth abilities, but he was too lazy to use them. They were useless against Cheng Konghai. Right now, Cheng Konghai's momentum hadn't weakened. At their level, if pilots were to fight each other directly, the result would likely be mutual destruction, but the benefit of mecha combat was that the technically superior party could damage the opponent's mech.

Of course, Klein had always been wary of Cheng Konghai's desperate gambit. He'd had the advantage back then, but he'd underestimated the opponent's determination to fight to the death, allowing the opponent to seize an opportunity and almost take him out.

Whoosh…

The Phantom shifted, appearing beside Ironclad Steel Fist. At this moment, Ironclad Steel Fist was facing a storm of Poking Slashes. Everyone's heart skipped a beat. From the initial balance of power, Klein had gradually dominated the battlefield, taking a comprehensive lead. The titanium sword struck out, and Ironclad Steel Fist hadn't even reacted, but the Phantom shifted horizontally, the previous attack merely a feint. An arc flash strike circled around to the right side of Ironclad Steel Fist, where the right arm had been. The Wasp Sting Titanium Sword performed a two-stage slash, one up and one down.

Boom!

A thunderclap erupted on the flat ground. Ironclad Steel Fist completely ignored the opponent's attack, kicking out with its right leg like lightning. Deep Space Ant – Nuke Leg!

Almost simultaneously, the Phantom disappeared with a flash strike, but the speed was still a bit too slow. The terrifying power of the Nuke Leg directly sent the Phantom flying. Boom!

In an instant, with a deafening roar, Ironclad Steel Fist took off from the ground, landing above the Phantom and kicking down. Whack!

The Phantom forcibly stabilized itself mid-air, avoiding the fatal kick. Just as the titanium sword was about to counterattack, Ironclad Steel Fist kicked out again, recklessly trading blow for blow. Even if the titanium sword pierced the mech first, he was confident he could kick the opponent to death.

This was the ultimate reason he had chosen Ironclad Steel Fist! The Ant not only had fists, but also legs!

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump... Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Ironclad Steel Fist, missing an arm, once again seized control of the situation, frantically unleashing a series of kicks at the Phantom. It was a completely suicidal fighting style. This power was even fiercer than the Nuke Fist. The two fought from the sky to the ground, leaving a trail of destruction wherever they went. All the supporters of Tianjing Mecha on the scene cheered wildly, urging him on. Amidst despair, Cheng Konghai had brought out his special move. Although he was on the defensive, he still had a chance to trade blows. If he could manage a draw, that would be the best outcome. Moreover, the mech was damaged after all, and continuous combat could potentially lead to malfunctions.

At the Tianjing Mecha venue, every attack by Cheng Konghai was accompanied by desperate shouts. This was the final, every match was crucial, every match was a glorious battle to create history.

Klein pursed his lips. He wouldn't fight to the death with the Ant. He had the advantage. He would learn from past mistakes, expand his advantage, and then deliver a fatal blow. The Ant was merely struggling in his death throes.

The Phantom rapidly distanced itself, but the Ironclad Steel Fist immediately launched a cannonball-like charge, the instantaneous burst of speed allowing it to pursue the Phantom, giving it no chance.

"Ant, no good, you're too slow to catch me." In terms of straight-line burst speed, Ironclad Steel Fist was indeed skilled, but the Phantom was not only fast, but also agile. Klein had never conceded to anyone when it came to micro-control.

A drifting pull-rod maneuver allowed him to instantly evade Ironclad Steel Fist, turning around and unleashing a storm of Poking Slashes, which Ironclad Steel Fist dodged by crashing to the ground in a Thousand-Jin Drop.

"Cheng Konghai is starting to show signs of fatigue."

"While both are hovering, Ironclad Steel Fist has far too much tonnage. At their level of the Golden Zone, an overly bulky mech has become a burden."

"There's no way around it. If it weren't for the extreme defensive fortress that is Ironclad Steel Fist, he would have been hacked to pieces by Klein long ago."

"Klein is very cautious. If the Ant wants to win, he has to be within sufficient range. As long as he doesn't give him that range, this match is stable."

On the battlefield, Cheng Konghai relentlessly pursued Klein. Klein always felt that Cheng Konghai was plotting something, but the opportunity was too good. Such a huge opening, if he didn't attack, it would be inexcusable. And he also wanted to know what Cheng Konghai's trump card was.

Facing the pursuit of Ironclad Steel Fist, the Abyssal Mantis suddenly counterattacked, meeting him head-on.

Cheng Konghai's Nuke Leg kicked out, but this time the Phantom didn't retreat, directly cutting in, the Wasp Sting Titanium Sword slicing through the Poking Shockwave. In the instant the Nuke Leg kicked in, the mech hovered and leaned back. At the same time, two titanium swords formed a cross-shaped kill.

Whoosh…

Ironclad Steel Fist's right leg snapped, and Ironclad Steel Fist lost control, falling from the air. But Klein in mid-air didn't pursue, instead revealing a cunning smile. The light flames burned, and two Wasp Sting Titanium Swords danced wildly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Streaks of Poking Slashes rained down, bombarding Ironclad Steel Fist with a storm of attacks. Although he had gained a huge advantage, Klein strongly suspected that this guy was deliberately selling openings. It was too easy to gain the upper hand. Although he didn't know what he was planning, how could he fall for it!

"Oh dear, Ant, I'm sorry, I should have given you a chance, but unfortunately you're not good at acting. You only have one leg and one arm left. How about I let you cut me as well? At that time, I'll definitely give you a chance." The Phantom landed beside Ironclad Steel Fist, Klein said happily, but this distance was extremely safe for him.

The Ironclad Steel Fist in the ruins stood up. For a master like Cheng Konghai, even with one leg, plus the Ironclad Steel Fist's quad-axial back-mounted auxiliary thruster, he could still have a fighting chance, but his speed, agility, and explosive power would be greatly reduced.

"Well done, Klein, I'm willing to call you the God of Speed. Be cautious, although the Ironclad Steel Fist is very crippled, the quad-axial auxiliary system theoretically has a certain possibility!" Huo Nan roared, "Continue to reap!"
