Mendoza was two meters tall and weighed one hundred and ninety kilograms. He didn't look very strong, indicating that his bones and muscles were exceptionally dense. His body proportions defied the heavens. He was a power-talent type of player who later awakened the terrifying power of thunder. He was a core figure of the Tianshin Ryu's new generation, skilled in freestyle fighting, with peerless boxing and kicking techniques. The pride of the Galaxy Team, his fighting style was cool. His nickname was Thor. The only shortcoming was that he was a bit of a playboy, a fighter pilot among pilots. Of course, on the unrestrained moon, it was a mutually willing affair. Although he had many girlfriends, none of them spoke ill of him.

On the Tianjing Mecha Martial side, Cheng Konghai appeared. Cheng Konghai, who was just over 1.6 meters tall, was thin and small. Compared to before, his complexion was much better, but he was still lean. Walking on the street, it felt like a slightly stronger wind could blow him over. Yet, he had displayed the most popular tactics in the S-competition, a duel between two fierce warriors.

Both sides were good at strength. Cheng Konghai didn't have any special abilities, while Mendoza had the blessing of thunder power. There was a limit to how much the strength of a pilot's body could be transferred to the operation of the mecha. In terms of fighting skills, there wasn't a better comparison, but Tianshin Ryu was only strong, never weak. On paper, Mendoza was slightly better.

The battle scene was City Combat.

Mendoza had a smile on his face. This battle was for his current female fans and the even more female fans he would have in the future!

Fist Tyrant Zero!

Configuration: 140 tons

Nuclear fission four-engine, titanium gauntlets, dual-chain Thunder Dragon cannons, electromagnetic gravity cannon.

Cheng Konghai didn't hesitate either. The moment Ironclad Steel Fist was revealed, the atmosphere in the entire arena instantly reached its peak. This was one of the most anticipated battles in the S-competition, and they were finally facing off.

Ironclad Steel Fist: 110 tons

Three-core fission engine, Jiabo titanium system

Quad-axis back-mounted auxiliary thruster, dual-arm Thunderfire laser cannons

Both sides entered mecha debugging. The camera focused on Cheng Konghai and Mendoza, both of whom had some excitement and anticipation on their faces.

"The nemesis of the Ant is Klein, but in terms of style, Mendoza is a kindred spirit!"

"Their rivalry back then was very interesting, but it unfortunately turned sour later."

"The number one person in Apocalypse power is about to be decided."

"In terms of pure strength, the Ant is a bit fiercer, but in terms of comprehensive strength, Mendoza is fiercer. If this guy put some of the passion he gives to girls into training, he'd probably be even fiercer."

"Haha, I definitely supported Mendoza before, but now I support the Ant. Li Mo's Hunters are invincible."

The most excited were the contestants. This year's S-competition was incomparable to any previous one. Victory and defeat were temporary. At a certain level of strength, no one was convinced by anyone else. There was always an angle or technical aspect where one was unique, but this year was different. There were two monsters, and a group of top players had all become little fanboys.

"Zhou Naiyi's victory was too crucial. I feel like Galaxy is going down the old road."

"Hard to say. As long as Maxis is calm enough and doesn't make Basta's mistake, it'll be fine."

"Don't say that. I think Basta did even more ruthlessly. He almost made it impossible for the Tianjing Mecha Martial team members to perform in the team battles. That's real targeting. Galaxy hasn't done that."

The Martians were really fighting for their lives when facing Li Hao, pressing down on him until he died. Although Galaxy was powerful, they still maintained a regular competition rhythm and hadn't reached the level of the Martians. Of course, this was also due to Galaxy's personality and confidence.

"Could it be that it's not that Galaxy doesn't want to, but that they can't do it anymore?" Ghost Shadow Milner suddenly said.

Everyone was speechless for a moment. It seemed like it really wasn't that easy anymore.

A warrior who already had a good foundation, resilience, and a firm will, after experiencing so many challenges, then growing, getting up, and standing firm, how terrifying would that be?

On the field, the cheers were deafening. The home stadiums of the two major teams, Galaxy Interstellar Academy and Tianjing Mecha Martial Academy, were now filled with soaring fighting spirit. Zhou Naiyi's sword ignited the soul and fighting spirit of Tianjing Mecha Martial. They saw a familiar scene. In every moment of life and death, someone was able to stand up and bear everything. On the other side, the Galaxy Academy had experienced too many challenges, including crushing victories and逆风翻盘 (ni feng fan pan, comeback against the wind). Their traditions and heritage were deeply ingrained in the bones of every warrior. The great Galaxy Academy never gave up. They could endure everything until the shore of victory.

One of Galaxy's school mottos: You can always trust a Galaxy warrior.

At this moment, the calmness, confidence, and excitement on Mendoza's face fully proved this point.

Two mobile suits landed on the battlefield, a standard G-type space city.

The engines of the two mobile suits roared. At the moment the countdown ended, Fist Tyrant Zero's dual-chain Thunder Dragon cannons were aimed at the Ironclad Steel Fist charging over. Da da da da da…

The Thunder Dragon cannons spewed flames, bombarding the Ironclad Steel Fist. The Ironclad Steel Fist, which was dashing forward, wasn't idle either, and its dual-arm Thunderfire laser cannons fired back at the same time.

The firepower of the dual-chain Thunder Dragon cannons could be called the ceiling of heavy armor. The battlefield was instantly ignited, and the area covered by the firepower instantly turned into ruins. Faced with such fierce firepower, the Ironclad Steel Fist didn't show any sign of being cumbersome, constantly weaving and jumping through the firepower. Each time, under the suppression of the firepower, it made short-range, high-speed突进 (tu jin, breakthroughs), continuously performing strong control and constantly dodging. At the same time, the laser cannons on its arms provided a precise laser cannon matrix coverage.

Faced with the counterattack, the Fist Tyrant, carrying the heavy Thunder Dragon cannons, wasn't flustered at all, making agile rotations in place. The mecha also performed various difficult dodging maneuvers. For those that couldn't be dodged, the titanium arms directly swept out, blocking the laser cannons without fear.

The distance between the two sides continued to close. The Ironclad Steel Fist shook its arms and directly unloaded the Thunderfire laser cannons, while Fist Tyrant Zero also threw away its Thunder Dragon cannons. The ground shook violently, and both fists directly slammed towards the Ironclad Steel Fist.

Boom!

The two mobile suits, one large and one small, exchanged the first unadorned punches. K23 titanium heavy punches directly collided, and a wave of power exploded, causing both pilots' bodies to shake. Immediately following, a feeling of excited satisfaction emerged.

That was the feeling!

With a low roar, the Ironclad Steel Fist took the lead in throwing the second heavy punch, but Fist Tyrant Zero, relying on its size and tonnage, directly smashed up with a low elbow.

Boom, bang!

Spiderweb cracks burst open directly on the ground. The Ironclad Steel Fist was smashed, its body lowered, while Fist Tyrant Zero's left uppercut had already quickly arrived. Boom…

Although slightly smaller in size, the Ironclad Steel Fist, a veritable heavy-armored mecha, was directly sent flying more than thirty meters by this punch, crashing headfirst into a building.

Boom!

The next second, the Ironclad Steel Fist's engine roared, and the three axes exerted force at the same time, rushing towards Fist Tyrant Zero like a rocket. Mendoza licked his lips. Fist Tyrant Zero's four engines ejected flames, and the huge mecha flew out like a cannonball. At the same time, it kicked out a domineering leg in mid-air, a nearly one-hundred-eighty-degree split kick with a full visual impact.

Tianshin Ryu – Twelve Roads Dragon Slaying Thunderbolt Leg!

Miu Ju Che Miu Ju Che Miu Ju Che Miu Ju… Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu Yu

Mendoza was a heavy-armored fighter with medium-sized techniques. Before this S-competition, he had always been a swingman, and mostly played medium-sized mechas. Only in this S-competition did he mainly play heavy armor, but there were no opponents. He couldn't display his superior techniques. Finally, he encountered someone who could withstand it. His leg techniques were wide open and expansive, but the continuity and strength were full, filled with a sense of impact that went straight to the head.

Although Fist Tyrant Zero had been greatly improved compared to Fist Tyrant 100, it was still essentially heavy armor. It couldn't be said to be clumsy, but it wasn't at all related to agility. Mendoza's Fist Tyrant stubbornly displayed cool and domineering leg techniques, directly suppressing the Ironclad Steel Fist. The continuous Thunderbolt Legs were also a specialty in heavy armor.

It had to be said that although the Ironclad Steel Fist was small, it was really short and sturdy, defending to the death. The entire mecha shrunk into a ball, with titanium defense maxed out. All twelve consecutive blows were blocked. The Fist Tyrant's engine roared, and a high-altitude split kick directly targeted the tottering Cheng Konghai.

This was probably the first opponent Cheng Konghai had encountered in the S-competition who was comparable to him in strength and even more comprehensive in technique.

Cheng Konghai's eyes narrowed, and a proud arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. The Ironclad Steel Fist's right arm went horizontal, directly blocking. Boom…

The violent attack only made the Ironclad Steel Fist's right arm shake slightly. The mecha backhanded and circled Fist Tyrant's right leg, suddenly throwing it.

Damn it, Mendoza knew what the Ant wanted to do, and the Ant also knew that he knew. If he was caught and swung around like this, his female fans would be thrown away. Fist Tyrant Zero's four engines directly exerted force, following the Ironclad Steel Fist's swing and directly exerting force. At the same time, his left leg suddenly kicked, and the huge Fist Tyrant Zero instantly broke free and soared into the air.

But the next second, the Ironclad Steel Fist soared into the sky and directly grabbed Fist Tyrant's fighter in the air, suddenly performing a Thousand-Jin Drop, smashing the huge Fist Tyrant Zero towards the ground.

Boom!

Ant Squat!

The huge Fist Tyrant fighter was directly smashed to the ground. Immediately following, the Ironclad Steel Fist's right fist pulled back and slammed down. Fist Tyrant Zero displayed agility completely different from its size. Its legs suddenly kicked, and with a roar of the engine, it instantly slid away, dragging a line along the ground. Boom…

The ground was directly pierced through. The Fist Tyrant fighter had already pulled up with a spin. "Ant, you're being too disrespectful. Half of my female fans have disappeared."

The Ironclad Steel Fist stood up, shook its head, and suddenly shook its arms. "Give me some surprises, otherwise it would be better to let Maxis come."

"Damn it, still so arrogant. I don't need a God of War to beat you. For the sake of my many female fans, I have to sacrifice you!" Mendoza laughed, his pupils bloodshot, and the light and flames burned, instantly covering the entire Fist Tyrant Zero. The golden Zone value didn't stop飙升 (biao sheng, soaring), directly starting with Core Martial.

Cheng Konghai wasn't polite either. His pupils turned red, and the light and flames surged, enveloping the Ironclad Steel Fist.

The momentum of both sides continued to climb, and the two golden Zones directly collided, refusing to give way to each other. Immediately following, waves of roars rang out.

Ant – Deep Space Intimidation!

Ji Shi – Thunderous Roar!

Light and flames exploded in mid-air, and the space between the two mechas was constantly filled with energy bursts, constantly bombarding each other. Cheng Konghai's indiscriminate Deep Space Intimidation was slightly better. The next moment, the two mechas attacked at the same time, with the Ironclad Steel Fist being a little faster.

Gatling Machine Gun Fist!

Da da da da
