At this moment, Shadow Rider merely dodged two attacks, with stronger offensives awaiting him. Feng Yi was like being trapped in the center of a web, surrounded and manuevered by the Black Panther, left with only defensive capabilities and utterly lacking the strength to counterattack.

This was the true Hugo, the one who pushed his maximal outbreak to its limits. Even Revenge Shadow Rider was suppressed. There might have been factors related to the mecha models, but the pilot's ability could not be overlooked. Hugo truly did it. He remained himself, a man who would never back down, no matter the adversity he faced.

In that instant, the federal viewing zone went crazy because of him. The standing crowd was not just limited to the federation; audiences from all the major competition zones, and even many warriors, were struck by Hugo's indomitable will. Clenching their fists and leaning forward, they couldn't stop chanting one name—Hugo.

Yet Hugo's onslaught did not end there. On the contrary, when the third attack was made, Shadow Rider was left with no room to dodge. Feng Yi's body was completely in a suspended state, without any space to evade—akin to an immobile target.

As Hugo launched his third attack, Shadow Rider, still not touching the ground, triggered the auxiliary propulsion device, blasting a burst of air. His tumbling body suddenly rolled in mid-air with a gravity-defying motion, narrowly evading Hugo's third strike.

The audience, although hoping that Hugo would hold on till the end, also did not want to see Revenge Shadow Rider fail. Many were conflicted by these sentiments.

However, the propulsion device's brief emission had a cooldown. How could Revenge Shadow Rider dodge after this attack elapsed?

Rumor had it that rapid advancements could continue up to three times in succession, but that was relative to ordinary people. Considering the agility advantage of beast-type mechas, Hugo could easily perform 4, 5, or even more consecutive maneuvers. After all, his beast-type mecha excelled in power, speed, and torque over humanoid mechas.

In the federal viewing platform's family area, friends and relatives were sweating bullets. Then came the beast's fourth roar—Revenge Shadow Rider was in danger. At that moment, Shadow Rider's body had no leverage point to rely on.

Boom!

The beast's steel claws harshly struck Revenge Shadow Rider's crossed arms in defense, and the 0001 was immediately sent flying by the massive force.

It was evident that Hugo considered angles as he zigzagged back and forth, charging from positions that were difficult for Revenge Shadow Rider to strike. Even wielding a titanium alloy blade, Revenge Shadow Rider struggled to leverage his weapon's advantage under such angle constraints.

Then came the fifth strike, faster and more direct than any before. Before Shadow Rider's flung body could hit the ground, the Black Panther, with a sound tearing through the air, was already howling towards him.

One could say that the fifth strike had already pushed the mecha to its limit. Continuing the attack, even the resilient beast-type mecha could barely withstand the load caused by the torque.

It's over, completely over. Revenge Shadow Rider had probably not given his all in the battle against Hugo. Instead, he might have suppressed his skills to the level of Red Cloak and fought on equal terms, which ironically led to his downfall.

Let it be known, when the rhythm is in the hands of a warrior who specializes in maximal outbreak, once completely dominated by the opponent, all other talents become useless. That's why even top-tier fighters exercise caution and give respect when facing an opponent capable of an extreme output to avoid falling into their pace.

At this moment, Revenge Shadow Rider was falling through the void with his back toward the sky, entering free-fall with no defensive capabilities, and within that short moment, even imaging equipment couldn't capture the opponent's movements, let alone mount an effective counterattack.

Then, as the beast closed in on Shadow Rider, Feng Yi had only one thought remaining... is this the end? Perhaps it was. His body could no longer sustain such intense battles.

The so-called heroes come from my generation; as they enter the fray, time hastens. Amidst grand dreams of conquest spoken with a smile, one succumbs to life's intoxication. Sword in hand, astride my steed, I slash through ghostly rains, while bleached bones pile like mountains, startling birds into flight. Worldly matters flood like tides, people flow like water, only to lament — how few return from this river of life.

The era of Shadow Rider was bound to end. Both Hugo and he would age with time. Perhaps this was his last mecha battle in his life. He did not stick to the black mecha but chose the earliest 0001, hoping his original intentions would not change.

Yes, after countless battles, he had changed much, changed also for others, cast aside those unfounded obsessions. Only the belief in relentlessly seeking battle and challenging himself remained unchanged.

A smile suddenly flitted across Feng Yi's lips at that instant. Wasn't this the very battle he craved? Bearing his overburdened body, Revenge Shadow Rider suddenly burst forth in a defensive stance.

"Ha!"

With a roar that burst by his ears, there was suddenly a fierce storm emanating outward from Shadow Rider... Impossible to imagine the astonishing force of that battle cry, even the beast mecha itself, under the shock, came to an abrupt halt as if hitting a tangible, yet invisible, wall of air, forcibly stopping its movement.

My God, Revenge Shadow Rider actually used a single surge of combat spirit to repel the fiercely advancing beast mecha. Looking across the world, who else possesses such a spirit?

Whoosh... Boom!

Before the crowd's minds could react, the titanium alloy blade was precisely plunged into the abdomen of the beast. Amid a series of sparks, the battle was declared over— the victor, Revenge Shadow Rider.
