Chereads / Tempest of the Steel Mecha / Chapter 8 - Another Shock

Chapter 8 - Another Shock

The battlefield was intense, and there was no room for complacency, especially when facing someone who could execute Thomas's Twist Shot with the BS001. Although he was just a lieutenant, he had garnered a lot of attention. Nonetheless, he was determined to fight well in this battle.

The spectators included both professional players and experts. However, after looking at the two opponents, they were somewhat disappointed. Li Feng was only famous among players in the middle and lower tiers. Those at the advanced level were not interested in him at all. They only came because of the reports. It was evident that pitting a BS001 user against a Fantasia model user was unfair. After all, the operation level of the Fantasia model was significantly lower than that of the BS001, and piloting a real mobile suit was exhausting. The Fantasia model was more energy-efficient, and the machine itself was advanced, with overwhelming combat power. Generally, in a battle between experts, they would choose similar models or models of the same level. If both had special models, it would be another matter. However, the difference in this battle was too great. Even if one could execute Thomas's Twist Shot, it might not be effective since the opponent was already alert and not easy to be caught.

At the start of the battle, Feng Huo exhibited enough caution. He would rather win in an ugly manner than lose elegantly because there was no need to struggle after that. The Wolf Demon V2's powerful mobility was unleashed, especially in this terrain where he could find cover. In fact, the BS001, which had weak long-range attack capabilities, was overly cautious. The Wolf Demon V2 jumped rapidly, constantly changing its position. With the BS001's mobility, it could barely keep up.

Li Feng sat calmly in the cockpit, unusually composed. He had encountered situations even more exaggerated than this. He stared at the screen without blinking, slowly changing the angle of the BS001. Although he could not match the opponent's speed, he felt that there was some defect in the Wolf Demon V2's jumps. Moreover, despite constantly changing direction, the rhythm was stable, and the error was not high. Usually, mobile suit drivers had their own combat rhythm, and Li Feng had also paid attention to this before. However, it was not as clear as it was now. Although the Wolf Demon kept jumping, it was as if he could predict its landing point, making two rapid judgments in his mind, which were both correct. What was he waiting for?

Some impatient players couldn't help but curse. Feng Huo was too cautious. The BS001 couldn't keep up with his speed, so why wasn't he attacking?

Feng Huo realized this himself, but he still didn't plan to attack up close immediately. Instead, he tried to initiate a laser attack from his mouth. At the moment he had this plan, the BS001 suddenly turned around, and a laser beam shot out.

Feng Huo was about to land, and his head was facing the laser, almost as if he was going to crash into it.

Boom…

Direct hit, but the configuration of BS001 is too low to make a single laser shot fatal. However, as Feng Huo (the player) was preparing to engage in a fierce battle, he suddenly lost track of his opponent, or more precisely, his external visual system was destroyed!

Coincidence?

The heavy voice of BS001 came through his ear. Without hesitation, Feng Huo fired a burst of laser shots. The players held their breaths, and even though it was chaotic, it was enough to keep BS001 busy. Even if the driver had time to react, the machine itself might not have been able to respond in time.

However, everyone soon opened their mouths wide in amazement. Despite the scattered lasers, BS001 managed to dodge with the minimum possible movement and appeared in front of his opponent in the blink of an eye. As an experienced player, Fēng Huǒ sensed that the opponent was already close by the sound. Having been preparing for this moment, he launched a side attack, which would at least take down his opponent with him!

The speed of the Wolf Demon V2 was fully utilized, and at this moment, BS001 had just dodged a laser and was still unstable on the ground when the Wolf Demon rushed over.

Li Feng had encountered this situation before. He had been struggling in the game since he entered, but he remained calm and balanced. With a push of his left leg, BS001 immediately turned around.

Oh my God, a Thomas's Twist Shot on one leg?

The Wolf Demon quickly dodged, but the titanium knife still accurately hit the Wolf Demon's neck.

Swoosh…

The decapitated Wolf Demon V2 flew out, and Li Feng barely managed to maintain his balance. It was completely improvised, but he managed to use half of the Thomas's Twist Shot.

More than one million players fell silent in disbelief until now. Li Feng immediately went offline after winning. It seems that it was not just a coincidence, and he needs to think carefully about the problem at hand.

Li Feng's left immediately sparked a wildfire of comments, and this battle video was quickly placed at the top of the official forum, with millions of clicks, which is terrifying propaganda. Almost all online players are watching these two videos.

If there was any luck involved in the first video, the second video completely showcased the terrifying skills of the Blade Warrior pilot.

The personal physical fitness, driving skills, combat experience, and on-site adaptability are all so terrifyingly impressive that describing him as a genius among geniuses is not an exaggeration.

This battle may seem simple, but if someone else were driving the BS001, they would have been killed several times already.

The driver's composure in the face of unfavorable circumstances shows his mental resilience. The first laser strike, which was quickly followed, represented many things. On one hand, he had already discovered the opponent's movement trajectory through a brief observation, and on the other hand, he calmly made the attack. Understanding and executing are two different things. Making an attack with the clunky BS001 requires a lot of judgement of time difference between oneself and the opponent's movement, which he handled with extreme precision. If he intentionally hit the opponent's video system, that would be frightening!

Furthermore, BS001's laser is weak and not enough to destroy the opponent, so close combat is inevitable. His performance in dodging the laser is textbook-level acting, with lightning-fast movements!

(Lightning-fast movements: dodging the opponent's attack with the smallest possible movement.)

This is not something that anyone can do, and he did it with the BS001. And that's not all. In the face of the opponent's desperate attacks, he was still able to improvise and execute the highly difficult Thomas's Twist Shot.

My goodness, this person must have some sort of special ability!
