Chapter 132 Nightmare-Level First Clear

The Knight Dragon tilted 45 degrees on one foot, its limbs awkwardly splayed, causing the entire mech to shift and teeter.

Laser fire engulfed it, leaving the central axis empty. The rest of the laser attacks missed due to the Knight Dragon's bizarre pose, as if the lasers were blossoming from the mech's very body in a dazzling display.

The live stream went deathly silent. Some had watched the S-Tournament for years, others were mech warriors from military academies, but none had ever seen anything like this, not even since birth.

What is this? Aaaaargh!

An uncontrollable impulse and emotion seemed to be stuck in their throats. What was happening? Why?

Did it just pass through?

Was that a human movement just now?

The blood-red sky cleared, and the piercing warning sound disappeared. The surroundings suddenly dimmed, and a beam of light shone on the Knight Dragon mech in the center.

In this world, only the serene Knight Dragon mech remained.

What prediction? What dodge calculation? What operation? What mental control and physical control?

The previous stages felt exaggerated and insane, but they paled in comparison to the last five seconds. What did any of it matter before such divine control?

Mu Ou broke the limits of human movement.

Robbie, Ofie, Yan Peng, and Depuya were all dumbfounded. They knew how strong Li Hao was; no one had a deeper understanding. But after so many years, their own growth had been substantial. They believed in Li Hao and respected him, but deep down, they all harbored a desire to challenge him. Just when they thought they had grasped the extent of Li Hao's power, they realized that they could only see so far.

Depuya and the others, especially Ofie, who was one of the top experts in the Apocalypse Youth Class, were looking forward to the mid-season training camp challenge. But now, it seemed they needed to reassess.

As for their teammates, they were completely stunned. Was this warrior from Earth? Unlike the audience, they saw more than just evasion. How did this pilot predict those attacks?

Did such a primeval warrior exist in USE's military academies? If he had been at S10, would Earth have suffered so much?

Could such a person really exist?

At Tian Xing Mech Academy, Feynman, A'erzi, and the others were dumbfounded. This was a sniper's nightmare! How could he survive that?

Tita truly felt threatened. How dangerous would such a person be as an opponent? Could this person be an Earth military academy student?

Who could it be?

Her Skylink rang.

Tita immediately stood up, her expression serious, and answered the call. "Senior, what's up?"

"Did you watch Mu Ou's match?" a deep, resonant voice asked from the other end of the Skylink.

"Yes, Senior. He's quite strong, and he could be an obstacle in our S11 competition."

The other end of the Skylink was silent for a moment. "What you saw is just the tip of the iceberg, Tita. Come to my place this weekend. The captains of the major teams will be there. That person has returned."

Tita was a little confused after hanging up. In NUP, there were many strong individuals, and heroes emerged in droves. If there had to be a leader, it would still be the War God, Maxis. Although she wasn't a member of the Apocalypse Youth Class, she had accidentally overheard a legend during the mid-season training camp. The legend spoke of a super genius from Earth, an unparalleled talent, almost a Demon King. But the funny thing was that he was crippled by the Earthlings themselves.

At the time, the Earth high command knew that Li Hao was strong, but those who held the real power didn't know how strong, or they simply didn't care.

However, the psychological pressure Li Hao had placed on the other three federations' candidates had not completely dissipated over time.

Others might forget or underestimate him, but Maxis, as one of the main combatants in the ROM Youth Class, had faced that person several times and had never forgotten it. Sometimes, he would even wake up from nightmares.

Only he could achieve such inhuman movements.

"Captain, who is it? Showing off?" A'erzi sneered, surprised that his big sister was going to see him.

"Maxis," Tita said softly, realizing the situation was more serious than she thought.

——"Congratulations to pilot Mu Ou for achieving an S+ rating on the Grosso Basic Test (Nightmare)."

An announcement across all EMP four federal systems!

Pilot Mu Ou completed the Grosso Basic Test (Nightmare) first and received the top-tier S+ rating. The Grosso Basic Test (Nightmare) will be fully open. Pilots from the four federations are welcome to try.

Some were training, others were watching live streams, and all were stunned by the news. What was "Nightmare"?

What was "S+"?

In the EMP assessment, S-rank was already a terrifying existence. There was no luck involved; if your strength wasn't up to par, you could grind for tens of thousands of attempts and still fail. The more attempts you made, the more you compromised your chance of getting an S rating.

S+... In other words, whoever achieved S+ in the military academy would essentially gain four years of spousal rights. They'd be practically untouchable.

S ratings existed, but S+ was one in ten thousand of the S ratings. Throughout EMP's history, anyone who had achieved S+ had been a prominent figure in the human mech world, a representative of the major military academies, without exception.

Zhuang Zhou slammed his chest with both arms, making a loud "thump," and struck a pose embracing the world. "Friends from the four federations, welcome! You are witnessing the unprecedented, the unrepeatable, Mu Ou, the God of Mechs!"

The place went wild, utterly insane. The Tianjing EMP hall had turned into an ocean of jubilation. A crowd swarmed Zhuang Zhou, throwing him into the air. While airborne, Zhuang Zhou didn't forget to wave his arms. Unlike others, this wasn't just about Mu Ou; this was their captain, the captain of their Tianjing Mech Academy. At this moment, Tianjing Mech Academy had the most reason to celebrate in the whole world.

The live stream exploded, with viewership directly surpassing 60 million and still climbing. The EMP's full-region announcement, Grosso, S+, Nightmare Difficulty, and Mu Ou Step all instantly trended.

A Space Fortress descended on the live stream, drawing away many viewers. But Huo Nan was upset because no one paid him any attention. A Space Fortress couldn't even stir up a ripple.

Huo Nan hadn't considered finding loopholes or issues, but he figured it was best to shut up at this point. He didn't want to be annihilated. The Martians were tough, not stupid. Could that thing really be inhuman?

Li Hao listened to the cheers outside. The training room was soundproofed, but the noise was too loud this time. Many people had gone to the hall.

Li Hao was busy snatching red envelopes (digital money gifts). With a tap, Jun Lang's mood soared away. Damn it, what kind of luck was that? 3.5 yuan – with change!

S+... He had gone a little overboard. He had cleared it once in the virtual zone before, but the virtual mode didn't calculate rank ratings. He thought getting an S would be good enough.

Suddenly, Li Hao smiled contentedly. Good, he remembered that it came with a bonus. He could take A You You out for something nice. Always eating barbecue didn't feel right.

His Skylink rang. It was Robbie. It had to be him.

"Hey, Second Brother, what's up? You're too awesome. It's insane, unparalleled, no-prediction dodging! Awesome Plus! How did you train?" Robbie asked excitedly from a corner. If he could master this with his skill, the Pumas would definitely move up a level this year.

Li Hao was tapping furiously. The system had also sent out red envelopes. Damn it, even worse. He didn't get a single cent. What kind of hand speed was that? "Huh? Oh, can't you do it?"

Robbie's eyebrows twitched. "Second Brother, can you speak human? I want to learn this inhuman footwork."

"Oh, then don't think of yourself as human. I'm busy." With that, Li Hao hung up the Skylink, widened his eyes. The second wave of system red envelopes was coming. "Damn it, roll up your sleeves and get to work!"

??? 0.16 yuan...

Toxic!

Li Hao was furious. This was blatant targeting. Absolutely unbearable... Complain!

An S+ rating would inevitably be dissected by experts. This analysis video was essential, and making it took a little time, but it was just right for entertaining the audience. The VIP live stream had surpassed 6.5 million, and Martians accounted for half of them. Perhaps those who wanted to understand you the most were your opponents.

The Martians, who usually loved to trash-talk and considered everyone but Martian warriors to be subhuman, were also amazed this time. This was rare in ROM. A warrior from another federation could only gain ROM's approval by demonstrating extraordinary conquering power, and earning their respect was even harder.

Mu Ou's battle had truly overturned the Martians' perception.

The analysis video arrived, and the live stream's popularity continued to rise. Zhuang Zhou and Huo Nan returned to their positions. Zhuang Zhou didn't make any taunts this time; it wasn't his style.

The EMP still greatly respected S+ ratings. Since he had completed the first clear and received the top rating, they arranged various Easter eggs and red envelope showers. They also introduced the requirements for the Grosso Basic Test's Nightmare mode, which was to complete the regular mode in under 59 seconds. But many people thought they had reached their limit at one minute. In fact, it was entirely possible to break through. Grosso himself was a person who pursued the ultimate.

Li Hao rubbed his hands, breathing on them, and prepared to snatch the red envelopes when his Skylink rang again. He reluctantly answered.

"Second Brother, holy crap, you're too awesome! This is awesome, I love it! S+ is out of the question, but I can still try for S. What were you thinking? Sixty seconds is the limit! I tried it several times! If I had known, I would have kept trying, and I would have taken this discovery." Depuya excitedly rambled.

Li Hao stared intently at the screen, determined to unleash a critical strike this time.

"Second Brother, Second Brother, don't ignore me! Is there a trick to 59 seconds? Tell me!" Depuya wanted to be the second person to clear it. What could be more reliable than asking Second Brother?

"Ah, no. I think I just tried it and got fifty-something seconds." Li Hao looked at the red envelope countdown on the screen.

"What? What? Second Brother, are you messing with me?" ... "Beep beep beep beep beep..."

Li Hao hung up on this chatterbox. He used to be like this, but now it felt even worse. Wow, the red envelopes were released. Charge, young man!
