Entering ranked mode.

The opponent is from USE. Li Hao still prefers fighting opponents from outside USE. Their styles are unique and interesting, while USE's tactics are too conventional, and they're all about grinding for points, which can be dull.

Things are okay on Earth's side, with over three hundred spectators. Since it's not a livestream and there are no friend slots, it's impossible to set up notifications.

The most lively scene is surprisingly not on Earth, but on Mars. EMP on Mars has given Mu Ou (Puppet) a special column and even attracted the attention of "Fire Man," a top-tier ROM commentator. This person was once a mobile suit pilot in the ROM Federation Army. After retiring, he became a commentator and was among the first to do so, unexpectedly becoming a hit and a veteran figure in the Mars commentary scene.

There's only one reason: Stein lost. Stein isn't exactly a top-tier expert, but he's still somewhat well-known, and he even participated in the Interstellar Mecha Competition, which became a point of relief for many USE fans. Unfortunately, Martians can swallow anything but their pride.

In the words of Martians, they're always the ones bullying others.

Many people in the forum have already said they've issued a challenge to Mu Ou, but that coward doesn't dare to accept. Among them are experts from various Mars military academies, those who participated in the Interstellar Mecha Competition. Because they haven't played EMP for a long time, their scores have dropped a lot, to around 1,000. So, Mu Ou's level isn't very high, but his fighting style is all about "showing off," making it seem like he's winning against the odds. It's all flashy.

But Mu Ou is very popular now, both in USE and ROM, and it is said that he mains the "Kailong (Armored Dragon)" and "Kaihu (Armored Tiger)," which is very retro and gives him a unique online celebrity vibe.

Mu Ou vs. Puma A. Robbie

When the opponent appeared, USE exploded, this time not because of Mu Ou, but because of Robbie.

Generally, those with such direct names are confident military academy students. Puma A-level Military Academy is the number one military academy in South America, and Robbie is a representative figure there. If we define player levels, this is an absolute A-level player in USE, and he has a fierce personality. At the start of the Interstellar Mecha Competition, the various players from USE were a bit stunned, leading to a more conservative overall tactic, which was a big reason for the loss. Robbie was the most daring and aggressive one in USE, so he's now receiving a lot of attention.

But his EMP score is very high, so how could he be matched with Mu Ou?

Mu Ou's estimated score is around 1000, and even if Robbie has played EMP less due to competitions and training camps, his score wouldn't be low. It can only be said that Mu Ou must have hidden points or some outstanding data to be matched with such an excellent warrior.

Li Hao looked at the name, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face... Robbie... long time no see.

Both sides entered the arena. Robbie had just finished a month of special training. The loss in the Interstellar Mecha Competition actually made the entire younger generation of elites in USE hold their breath. It must be said that, on the one hand, it was their own reason, and on the other hand, it was outdated tactics. To really say that they were much worse in terms of physique and fighting, that wasn't really the case. It was just that NUP was a level ahead in terms of understanding mecha, proficiency, and mutual restraint, and this is what Robbie and others needed to catch up on.

Mu Ou... a strange name. Generally speaking, at this level, few people would take such a playful name. It sounds like a name from the virtual zone.

Both sides enter the selection phase.

Mu Ou has already confirmed: Armored Dragon III.

Robbie smiled. In fact, no one would choose first in such a competition. That's like revealing weaknesses to the opponent. USE really didn't pay much attention to this before, but they were really taught a lesson in this Interstellar Mecha Competition. When the strength is equal, the restraint of mecha, especially a lot of training for this restraint, will have a huge effect in actual combat. The more people there are, the greater this probability will be.

Robbie chose Dragon God E-type, which is also an upgraded version of the Armored Dragon series. This mecha is slightly larger, and the mecha materials are also better. More importantly, it strengthens the smoothness of movement, reduces the difficulty of operation and the burden.

The main direction of modern mecha is to improve functions and reduce the load on soldiers, so as to maximize the human's own advantages.

Mu Ou vs. Robbie

Li Hao and Robbie have both confirmed their choices. In this case, the countdown of 30 seconds will begin, but unexpectedly it became three minutes.

In the dormitory, Zhuang Zhou and others had collectively spent money to enter the holographic viewing. Fortunately, it wasn't a professional streamer, otherwise, with this popularity, the price would have to rise. Since the domineering of the last battle, the four brothers abandoned their girlfriends, abandoned their work, and even the activities arranged for the weekend. Zhuang Zhou didn't even have to force them, Mu Ou was worth supporting.

"Damn, how was this matched? Mad Lion Robbie is a real A-level player, and he's considered the best Armored Dragon user at the moment. Is this like provoking a tiger?"

"Zhuang Zhou, Mu Ou is a bit too reckless. The Armored Dragon is also about to be eliminated. I feel like he's going to crash. Did we waste our money?"

"It's a bit impulsive. My girlfriend is going to kill me."

The forum also instantly became popular with the battle between Mad Lion Robbie and the online celebrity Mu Ou from the virtual zone.

Zhuang Zhou is a loyal supporter of Mu Ou. Currently, Mu Ou only has over ten thousand viewers. Compared to Mu Ou, Mad Lion has much higher popularity. They are not on the same dimension. The last time was because he was fighting Mars, and the shared hatred would not be diverted.

"Damn, Zhuang Zhou, what's with that expression? Don't tell me you really think Mu Ou will win?"

The brothers in the dormitory laughed.

Zhuang Zhou smiled faintly, "Let's wait and see. If he wins this battle, I'll start a streamer account."

He had a strange premonition in his heart, he couldn't quite explain it, but it had been getting stronger recently, but he didn't know what this premonition was trying to tell him.

The match began, and two Armored Dragon fighters entered the arena.

Robbie stretched his neck. Regardless of who the opponent was, he wanted to finish it quickly. During the weekend, he wanted to meet someone with weight and test the results of his long special training. When his body entered the driving state, his blood felt a little boiling. He didn't want to waste his time on a rookie.

*Chi...*

The laser sword was unsheathed, pointing at the Armored Dragon on the opposite side, but the Armored Dragon fighter on the opposite side didn't move, just looked at him...

Did he run into a fan?

Robbie grinned. Nothing else mattered. The engine roared, and the Dragon God fighter strode towards the opponent, pushing the movement speed and momentum to the peak. The laser sword slashed straight at the opponent. For the weak, the most direct is the best.

*Chi...*

Empty?

In an instant, Robbie broke out in a cold sweat. Almost instinctively, he leaned his left shoulder to the side and resisted the opponent's punch entirely based on experience. Just as he was about to forcibly pull away, the mecha suffered a heavy blow, a violent shock that directly sent Robbie's Armored Dragon fighter flying. Robbie forcibly controlled the mecha, the engine reversed, and he directly pulled away, but the opponent did not take the opportunity to attack.

After only one round, the entire viewing area was silent. Robbie was almost taken down in one face-off???

Robbie curled his lips. Damn, he met an expert. Why did he take such a dilapidated name to fool people?

He became serious, and the aura of the entire mobile suit pilot changed, like a beast waiting to pounce, staring at the Armored Dragon fighter on the opposite side. His style was to take the initiative to attack, using offense as defense.

The Dragon God fighter roared again and rushed over, the laser sword slashing fiercely. This time, he didn't give the opponent a chance. The laser sword and titanium alloy knife collided violently. The Dragon God fighter was slightly lighter in mass, as it used new materials, and its performance was suppressed. Coupled with Robbie's fighting style, unless the mecha was better than his, or the style was restrained, he would steadily suppress the same type. This was a rare encounter with a congenital disadvantage in terms of mecha.

So what else was there to do? Fight until the opponent exploded!

The laser sword slashed wildly, causing the Armored Dragon fighter to retreat steadily. The battle between experts was not above, but in the steps. Confirming that the opponent had some skill, Robbie paid special attention to step suppression. Attack was to maintain his own posture, but his feet were his own advantage. Suppress, suppress, just waiting for the opponent to show a flaw.

Faced with the Dragon God fighter's storm-like attacks, the Armored Dragon fell into complete passivity and could only defend.

"Damn, what did I say? This is the crushing of the same series of fighters. Robbie himself knows the Armored Dragon extremely well. Why bother showing off?"

"Robbie is a typical example of being both rough and meticulous. He is one of the few in USE who can fight. Mu Ou is a bit too careless. He's going to crash this time."

"The performance of the Armored Dragon is too poor. The Dragon God is a little bigger, but the quality is lighter. In the competition between experts, a slight difference can lead to a huge deviation. I feel like it's over."

Zhuang Zhou didn't believe it. He thought Mu Ou should be able to win, but the battlefield was real, and Robbie wasn't an unknown soldier. His competition experience was extremely rich. Many times, victory or defeat was just a matter of a moment.

The steady blow finally caused the Armored Dragon to lean back violently, indicating that it couldn't hold on any longer. At this time, Robbie, who had been in a state of frenzied attack, instantly felt his blood boil. He liked this feeling, smelling the taste of victory.

With a roar, the mecha roared, the laser sword shone brightly. Maintaining his attacking posture, his physical strength was even more abundant. The laser sword struck heavily, causing the Armored Dragon fighter to stagger. Then, the mecha stepped heavily, the ground exploded, and the laser sword slammed down again.

Titanium alloy knife block... *Boom...*

The mecha retreated again, the Armored Dragon fighter lost its balance, and Robbie took another step forward, the third sword slashed out. This was Robbie's rampant Death God's Three Knocks, a heavy sword kill.

*Chi...*

The Dragon God fighter, almost at full strength, suddenly missed. The Armored Dragon fighter, which had almost lost its ability to operate, suddenly spun around, dodging the third sword with unstoppable momentum. When the mecha crossed, the mecha even leaned against it, and the Dragon God fighter almost lost its balance.

The two mecha instantly distanced themselves.

Robbie calmed his breathing. This was the first time he had been played with so much in a competition. The other party hadn't lost position at all and had been acting all along!

Damn it, who is this guy? He had encountered people with physique, he had encountered people with skills, but this kind of person with physique, skills, and experience, who had been observing him all the time...

"Robbie, you haven't made much progress in recent years."
