A minute later, the buzzer sounded.
Strangely, Youyu, who was adept at seizing the initiative, clearly had the advantage but showed no intent to attack proactively, and instead stood there in a momentary daze.
Indeed, she couldn't find any flaw, which was secondary. The greater issue was the pressure; she distinctly sensed the oppressive presence around Revenge Shadow Rider during the confrontation, as heavy as a mountain.
As a pilot, challenging Revenge Shadow Rider was the goal of every mech pilot, and a barrier to self-assessment. She hadn't expected to stand on the stage in such a manner.
However, when truly facing Revenge Shadow Rider, Youyu suddenly realized that this seemingly ordinary mecha seemed to contain immense power. What she was facing was no longer a warrior, but a mountain, an insurmountable peak.
Yes, she was thoroughly intimidated by the oppressive presence of Revenge Shadow Rider. As cold sweat streamed down her cheeks, drop by drop, the chilling murderous aura made her feel even more horrified. She had never encountered such a reaction before.
Youyu's breathing became increasingly rapid...
At present, forget about operating the mecha; she couldn't even move a finger. Her body inexplicably weakened, a kind of unwarranted weakness akin to the sensation at the brink of death.
Her chest heaved more and more violently; Youyu attempted to break this fear with pain and pinched herself hard! But it was completely useless; this kind of pain couldn't alleviate the inner fear, and instead, as time passed, even her senses seemed numb.
Revenge Shadow Rider slowly drew his laser, aimed at Zaku 7th Generation, but never pulled the trigger.
Outside the chaotic arena, the audience gasped in amazement...
"Hey, Rekart's white pilot, are you going to fight or not? What's with the daze?"
A young junior also felt puzzled in her heart: "What's happening to Youyu, the senior?"
Heinous shook her head; she too was unclear, having not reached this level and only heard some rumors within the army.
It was a story told by a retired white pilot, who once said that when facing a warrior stronger than oneself, the higher your rank, the more you will feel an insurmountable pressure. This pressure isn't so-called murderous aura, but the presence, the aura of a warrior, which intimidates you.
There's usually no way to break the situation unless you're a veteran who has repeatedly faced life and death, slowly adapting to such an environment.
Coincidentally, Youyu is at a fairly high rank but encounters this kind of ultimate warrior like Revenge Shadow Rider; if she dropped one or two levels lower, she wouldn't exhibit this kind of response.
In other words, if Youyu had reached the level of a super warrior or truly at the 12-star rank, she shouldn't have had this reaction. Hence, Heinous deduced that Youyu's current situation is quite similar to what the predecessor described.
Feng Yi controlled the mech, lowered the laser; he vaguely guessed the opponent's current situation because this situation was not unprecedented.
It could be said that it was just his casual aura that intimidated the opponent, and if the opponent was really so vulnerable, then there was no point in this battle continuing.
Boom!
With a heavy muffled sound, Zaku 7th Generation finally reached its limit, lacking the steadiness of a pilot, it lost balance and fell to one knee...
An uproar erupted inside and outside the venue!
"What's wrong with that person, isn't the mecha malfunctioning?"
As a professional commentator, Hot-blooded Warcart offered an explanation: "Zi Yu perhaps couldn't withstand the pressure from Revenge Shadow Rider, temporarily losing combat capability."
This... Why did this happen?
Yes, why? That's also the answer Youyu wanted, but no matter how she resisted, it was useless, knowing inside that something was wrong, yet...
"I concede."
The next second, Youyu directly announced her concession in public, choosing to abandon the match.
Under the incomprehensible gazes of the audience, she logged off like that, caught in an unresolved personal contradiction...
It shouldn't be; she is the 12-star Chaotic Flower Arrow Rain, should not respond like this even facing top warriors, but...
No buts; the moment she chose to concede, the Rekart viewing area erupted in disbelief... That excellent student from the top-tier military school, hailed as the most promising 12-star newbie Youyu, couldn't even lift her weapon against Revenge Shadow Rider.
How could such a person call themselves a new generation 12-star, isn't it too overrated?
People took time amidst their busy lives to watch the battle; it's safe to say without Revenge Shadow Rider, who would think of Star Wars, but here came this one, even a regular person wouldn't be so miserable.
Of course, it wasn't as people thought, ordinary people couldn't sense the aura, yet faced with criticism from worldwide netizens, at this moment in the Rekart viewing area, the faces of many were unpleasant, especially the top-tier military school students feeling utterly humiliated after hearing Hot-blooded Warcart's explanation.
Senior Youyu was indeed excellent, undefeated save for the match against the fatty two years ago; irrespective of who she faced, she could put up a good fight, and she was hailed as Rekart's pride.
However, confronted with Revenge Shadow Rider, everyone suddenly realized that their pride shattered, utterly broken, becoming worthless as Revenge Shadow Rider hadn't even made a move.
Top-tier military school students, each face scorched with discomfort, the reality far different from their prior expectations.
Zhang Xiaobo shook his head...
What's going on, he teamed with Feng Yi, then got forcibly ejected from the team, and somehow became a spectator. Yet, he couldn't comprehend Youyu, truly not knowing where she got the confidence to challenge Revenge Shadow Rider; doesn't she know her own limits?
Truthfully, even he could easily defeat Youyu, but went to challenge an opponent difficult for himself, wasn't it less a challenge and more a gap between an adult and child?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaobo's eyes lit up; why shouldn't he challenge Revenge Shadow Rider, making some money, get indirect publicity, and use part of the earnings to comfort former teammates' families—a win-win situation.
Unfortunately, at this time, another challenger already appeared on screen, the central screen displaying various battle records.
Weibang, Reiko, an absolute defense at 12 stars, defense with readiness, readiness with offense, once drove Raymond to near collapse, hailed as the strongest shield among white pilots.
Perhaps, Reiko was the most underestimated white pilot; though her battle records weren't outstanding, she remained undefeated, clearly in her active era, was a battlefield dominated by Revenge Shadow Rider.
Back then, the only one who could go toe to toe with Revenge Shadow Rider was Kexiao, and Reiko's ability to remain undefeated among these monsters already indicated her hidden prowess.
Of course, Reiko recognizes Revenge Shadow Rider, these deep memories wouldn't be erased by time.
