Chapter 1 What's Going On

The barrage of comments that had been exploding across the screen suddenly went silent, followed by a tidal wave of question marks.

What's going on?

The moment he said that, anyone with half a brain realized that this was definitely not a simple match. There were emotions, expectations involved!

Dragon Lord likely knew who his opponent was.

Even… more impressive than Li Xiangshan.

Chao Qinglong?

Not qualified. Regardless of experience or any other aspect, Chao Qinglong was definitely a worthy opponent, but it shouldn't be like this.

Who, who is it?

Looking at the solar system, has there been anyone like this in recent competitions? Forget Earth, there's no one in the other federations either. And are there any Earthlings worthy of being considered this way by a Moonling?

Everyone racked their brains trying to figure it out. Everyone saw the anticipation and eagerness in Li Xiangshan's eyes, even stronger than during the S-League competition.

"What's going on? Who exactly is Mu Ou? Is there really such a godlike figure on Earth?"

"My brain is a bit messed up. What's going on? What's wrong with Li Xiangshan?"

"Holy crap, who the hell is this Mu Ou?"

"I think it's just that Mountain Bro is kind. Stop overreacting. It doesn't make any sense. In terms of S-League experience, no one can compare to Mountain Bro. In terms of strength, they're all top players. Victory depends on condition and environment. No one can be sure of winning!"

"I agree. Damn, Earthlings are annoying. Moonlings are more polite. I'm supporting Li Xiangshan! Martians stand with him!"

"I think this Mu Ou is just chickening out."

"Do you think Mu Ou is setting a trap, deliberately messing with Mountain Bro's mentality?"

Those who didn't know were making a fuss, but those who knew were quiet.

After a while, with a *ding-dong* sound, Mu Ou finally came online. This sound was like heavenly music to Zhuang Zhou. Damn it, he was about to be driven to a breakdown by the comments. Every second felt like sitting on pins and needles. His back was soaked in sweat from the pressure.

But no matter what, Mu Ou had arrived.

The number of viewers exceeded eighty million.

This battle was unstoppable.

"Hehe, Mu Ou has finally arrived. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go straight into the competition!" Huo Nan didn't plan to give Mu Ou a chance to breathe. He would try everything to disrupt his rhythm.

Both sides went straight into the combat view. Li Hao was still panting. Damn, thankfully, he had used every ounce of strength to avoid getting his bonus deducted.

At this moment, a graffiti wall in a certain district leading to Tianjing Mecha Combat Academy was pierced by something.

First was the combat environment. Either side could propose one, and if both agreed, there was no problem. If there was disagreement, it would be randomized.

From the perspective of the S-League, countless viewers felt that Mu Ou should be allowed to choose freely, but Li Xiangshan didn't seem to hesitate and actively submitted his own combat environment.

—— Starry Sky Arena.

An arena built in space, it was actually very similar to most arena-type environments. The only difference was that the gravity here was 0.9 times the standard gravity (Earth g).

New humans were much more adaptable and accustomed to high g than low g. Of course, at a certain level, there was actually no difference.

There were still some viewers who hadn't seen Mu Ou fight. Under normal circumstances, Mu Ou should also submit one, but he didn't and simply accepted.

Combat scenario: Starry Sky Arena.

In this kind of formal challenge, the choice of mecha by both pilots was hidden from the opponent. From Li Xiangshan's perspective, it was undoubtedly the Dragon Lord Dignity.

Dragon Lord Dignity super type (NUP)

Heavy mecha, 130 tons

Dual-engine nuclear fission drive, laser shield, chest-mounted embedded laser cannon, laser eyes, K23 titanium dragon spear.

Tita's eyes sparkled with excitement. How handsome! A masterpiece from NUP. Regardless of the type of mecha, they pursued high quality, and in terms of super mecha, they pursued the ultimate. Various weapon settings were reasonable and powerful. In particular, the Dragon Lord fighter introduced a new type of weapon with K23 elements, further enhancing its attack power. Mu Ou had to show off his super mecha. KuaiShuGe

As long as he used the super type, then Mu Ou could be tracked, like the Night Saber!

"Show it, show it, stop pretending!" Although the other party had clumsily hung up on her Skylink, Tita still trusted her intuition. Girls were actually very strange creatures sometimes.

This time, because it was an officially recognized formal duel, there was the excitement of an exhibition match, and the process of the players choosing their mecha would be open to the public.

For example, Li Xiangshan, his interface showed the full range of mecha from the four major federations. Some were limited mecha that only S-League players could have. Obviously, he had used almost all of them and had a certain level of proficiency, but Li Xiangshan directly locked onto the Dragon Lord Dignity. There was a certain soul match between people and mecha. For example, the Dragon Lord mecha was strong, heavy, and carried the dignity and pride of a warrior, which was really like Li Xiangshan.

Commonly known as, natal mecha.

Li Xiangshan's every action didn't seem like entertainment. He took out the strongest mobile suit. The camera switched to Mu Ou's operating interface, and more than eighty million viewers were completely dumbfounded…

This was a cliff-like spiral self-destructive plunge from rich to bumpkin.

There were only three mecha in the mecha inventory.

Kailong, Kaihu, Kaibao. (Armor Dragon, Armor Tiger, Armor Leopard)

Did he plan to conquer the solar system with these three mecha?

In fact, there had been speculation about Mu Ou since his appearance, but honestly, no one thought it was true that he would only use the Armor series, because it was too unbelievable. However, Mu Ou was really good at being unexpected, and he really only prepared three mecha.

The Moonling audience was the most speechless. They had finally convinced themselves to believe that this was a battle of significance, but they actually saw this. This was simply insulting their intelligence. Using the Armor series to fight the Dragon Lord?

The audience from the four major federations were all rioting, filled with excitement. Except for a few die-hard fans of Mu Ou, even many Earth viewers felt that this was a bit… messed up. They didn't know how to describe it. They felt like something was making them look like an idiot.

However, an even more exaggerated scene appeared. The mecha entered the random draw stage. Mu Ou had to randomly draw one of the French Fry Trio?

When you are in a match against the world's top S-League player...

French Fry Trio?

Random?

The pride of the Moonlings exploded again. If the barrage had even 0.0001% lethality, it would be enough to kill Mu Ou a million times.

Li Wu didn't know what was happening outside. He was just doing his routine. He didn't know that such an operation would be broadcast live. Of course, it didn't matter even if he knew. As long as his money wasn't deducted, nothing was a big deal in this world.

Huo Nan and Zhuang Zhou looked at each other. Huo Nan was actually too weak to criticize, because he felt that this was Mu Ou. This jerk had been going against the whole world, especially against him, from the beginning.

Zhuang Zhou wanted to say something, but it seemed like anything he said would be superfluous. This, facing the Dragon Lord, even he felt that he should be serious, such as offering up the captain's Night Saber.

Kaihu (Armor Tiger) fighter confirmed!!

"It's really confirmed, oh my god, there's no need for the Dragon Lord to take action. I can shove the K23 titanium dragon spear into his mouth!"

"Are we really watching this idiot here?"

"Does anyone think Mu Ou can win?"

"At least one arm and one leg Armor Tiger has a chance."

"Even if Chao Qinglong came, he would only kneel down!"

"Chao Qinglong doesn't need heavy armor. You can count the heavy armor experts on Earth with one hand. Using an Armor Tiger to fight the Dragon Lord, he'll beat him until his own mother won't recognize him. Who is he trying to fool here!"

The gorgeous sky arena.

Kaihu vs Dragon Lord Dignity

The two players had entered the preparation countdown.

The two mobile suits entered the starlight-filled sky arena. The transparent dome showed the huge Jupiter and Saturn rings. This was the largest of the arena-type combat environments, and the scenery was especially unique, giving the warriors a feeling of being able to conquer the universe. Of course, it could fully accommodate all the operations of two heavy armors.

Li Xiangshan suddenly opened his eyes.

He could do it, he could definitely defeat this person!

The shimmering silver Dragon Lord Dignity had an imposing aura. The mecha's shoulder shook, *boom*...

The Dragon Lord fighter attacked, charging forward, directly using a low-altitude high-speed knee strike for a violent assassination.

"Whether it's from the operational sensitivity or explosive power, the Dragon Lord is crushing him. In Li Xiangshan's hands, it's like adding fuel to the fire." Huo Nan's voice had just fallen when there was a *boom* at the scene.

The Armor Tiger took half a step forward, raising its left arm, unexpectedly meeting this fierce attack head-on without dodging. It also counter-attacked with a powerful controlled charge, directly slamming a low elbow. The Dragon Lord fighter raised both arms abruptly.

With a loud bang, both trembled violently. The Dragon Lord fighter was bounced back one meter, and at this time, the Armor Tiger launched a ghostly side kick, sweeping towards the Dragon Lord fighter at high speed. The Dragon Lord fighter didn't dodge, bracing with its leg, the strength and defensive judgment of the mecha being extremely precise. At the same time, it launched a heavy punch towards the front, almost simultaneously hitting the opponent. The two mobile suits didn't retreat at all, and in the reaction of the mecha in the confrontation, the Dragon Lord was faster. This had nothing to do with operation; it was just the performance of the mecha. The laser eyes of the Dragon Lord shot out, and with a *boom*, the Armor Tiger dodged with an arc step, directly turning around and sweeping its elbow across the Dragon Lord. The Dragon Lord fighter rotated smoothly, avoiding the turning elbow, while abruptly grabbing the Armor Tiger's arm. The engine roared, and it gave the Armor Tiger fighter a "heavyweight" spiral slam!

If the angle was good under this weight, it would be an absolute suppression of the mecha. This was the top understanding of unlimited free flow, unlimited free fighting.

Before everyone could react, the two mecha fell to the ground at the same time. At the moment of being grabbed, the Armor Tiger used the ancient martial arts technique of "valley drop" almost without any pause, kicking over the Dragon Lord fighter, preventing the opponent's strength from being fully utilized. The two mecha that had fallen to the ground almost simultaneously performed a steel bridge hard pull to bounce up, launching heavy punches.

*Boom boom*... *Clang clang clang*...

Neither of the heavy armors retreated, using delicate operations that only light mecha could perform at close range. A set of combo moves from the Dragon Lord was completely dodged by the Armor Tiger's ghostly steps, one like a tiger descending the mountain, the other like an antelope hanging its horns. The Armor Tiger fighter launched a counter-attack, and the Dragon Lord fighter soared into the air—a swallow return kick.

*Boom*...

The Dragon Lord fighter used the force to bounce away, and the Armor Tiger retreated two steps and stood still. The two heavy armors returned to their original positions.

This was of course just an appetizer. Both sides were sizing up their opponents. Of course, just this sizing up was enough to kill 95% of the heavy armors in the entire league.
