The Stubborn Supersonic

Snow drifted through the air, covering the surrounding land in a thick, white blanket.

Xiao Zhen found it hard to understand why the Blizzard Warriors had chosen to build a city in such a godforsaken place instead of anywhere else. Was it because they were robots and simply did not fear the cold, or had they deliberately sought out a place with heavy snow to match their name?

The blizzard around them was fierce. Xiao Zhen wore only a tight-fitting layer and naturally shivered from the cold, but fortunately, he had plenty of clothes in his ring that he could put on to ward off some of the chill.

At the top of Blizzard City, two figures had already taken opposing positions: Tornado and Supersonic.

Tornado silently drew the two cleavers from his back and stared intently at the opponent before him, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Supersonic gripped a massive sword and watched Tornado. Though he had absolute confidence in himself against this opponent whose strength he did not know, his combat instincts kept him highly alert.

As time passed, the two continued staring at each other without showing any intention of attacking. Watching from outside the arena, Xiao Zhen was starting to get bored.

"You are the guest, so you should make the first move," Supersonic suggested.

"In that case, I won't hold back! Take this—Lightning Cyclone Slash!" Tornado did not stand on ceremony and immediately unleashed his ultimate move.

Supersonic gathered a great deal of energy as well and met the attack with his Sky-Rending Ice Chop.

Soon, their ultimate moves collided, their power affecting the air around them and creating strange currents one after another.

Xiao Zhen activated his detection goggles and discovered that although the two appeared evenly matched, Tornado's energy was ultimately slightly inferior to Supersonic's.

If nothing unexpected happened, once Tornado's energy ran out after a while, that would be the moment of his defeat.

Tornado on the field had noticed this as well, but there was nothing he could do. He had originally thought that since they were only two levels apart, the difference in combat strength would not be too great, and that he still had some chance of winning. Now it seemed that he had underestimated this guy.

As time ticked away, Supersonic began exerting more force, pushing Tornado back step by step. Before long, the winner would likely be decided.

Seeing that Supersonic was about to win, the warriors of Blizzard City began cheering and celebrating.

"Go, Supersonic!"

"Supersonic will win!"

"Long live Supersonic..."

Seeing Tornado beginning to lose ground amid the deafening cheers, Xiao Zhen could only encourage him. After all, he was the only person here who knew Tornado.

"Tornado, keep it up! I'm rooting for you."

Xiao Zhen's encouragement was the only help he could offer as a friend. He could hardly take Tornado's place in the battle!

After struggling for a while longer, Tornado still fell in defeat and was sent flying onto the freezing ground. Xiao Zhen nervously checked on him and found that Tornado's energy had been exhausted, while his health was down to 23%. He was seriously injured.

Supersonic said arrogantly, "Is that all Energy City is capable of?"

"You're strong. I lost!" Tornado said unwillingly. Though he was competitive by nature, a loss was a loss, and he would not deny it.

Supersonic asked directly, "Enough talk. What exactly did you come to Blizzard City for?"

"We came to form an alliance. The Fierce Beast Clan is stirring, and we hope to unite more forces to defeat them," Xiao Zhen stepped forward and said.

"An alliance? Then you came for nothing. Go back. We will never form an alliance with you!" Supersonic said firmly. His tone still carried a clear disgust toward Energy City.

Xiao Zhen asked in confusion, "As far as I know, your master Blizzard was killed by Tyrannosaurus God and Blue Poison Beast of the Fierce Beast Clan. Don't you want revenge?"

Supersonic said proudly, "Revenge? Hmph! If I wanted revenge, why would I need to join forces with you? I could do it myself."

Xiao Zhen asked again, "Can't you at least consider it? Are you really planning to spend the rest of your lives in this place where birds don't even shit?"

Supersonic flew into a rage upon hearing that. "The reason we came here was because of those bastards from Energy City!"

As he spoke, Supersonic pointed at Tornado, who was resting nearby.

Xiao Zhen waved his hand and said mildly, "You can't put it that way. It was only a misunderstanding back then. Your master should have told you that. If you return to Energy City now, I believe Lightning City Lord will welcome you warmly."

Supersonic asked impatiently, "We live very comfortably here. Go back and tell Lightning that he needn't concern himself with our affairs."

"Hey, can you show my master some respect? No matter what, he's your martial uncle," Tornado said unhappily.

Supersonic stared at Tornado and said disdainfully, "Oh? I never expected you to be Lightning's disciple. You're really weak."

"What did you say, bastard?!" Tornado clenched his twin blades, preparing to use the little energy he had just recovered to fight Supersonic again.

"Supersonic, is there really no room for discussion?" Xiao Zhen asked seriously once more.

"Hmph, kid, who do you think you are? Why should I cooperate with you?" Supersonic said contemptuously.

Xiao Zhen smiled faintly. "Since you refuse to show me any respect, don't blame me for using force."

After saying that, Xiao Zhen directly tore the Motorcycle Clan insignia from his waist and forcibly took control of the Blizzard City warriors, including Supersonic.

In an instant, all the Blizzard City warriors around them reverted to aircraft form and lay on the ground, completely unable to move.

"Damn it! I can't control my body! Who the hell are you?!" Supersonic asked in panic.

The corners of Xiao Zhen's mouth rose into a standard arrogant grin as he said proudly, "Who am I? I am the omnipotent incarnation of wisdom and strength, the cute and charming Mecha King, Xiao Zhen!"

"What? You're the Mecha King?!" Supersonic was shocked, then said resolutely, "Hmph! So what if you are the Mecha King? If you want us to cooperate with Energy City, don't even think about it."

Xiao Zhen felt rather helpless. Before this, whenever he revealed his identity as the Mecha King, which member of the Motorcycle Clan had not submitted to him? Even City Lords were no exception. Yet this Supersonic actually showed the Mecha King so little respect.

Xiao Zhen asked helplessly, "Why? You and Energy City used to be family, after all. There is no need for such deep hatred."

Supersonic said furiously, "Before my master died, he left his final words: no one from Energy City was to step into Blizzard City, not even half a step.

"Even if you are the Mecha King and can control us at will, even take our lives, I will never submit to you. If you've got the guts, then kill me."

Xiao Zhen could not stop the corner of his mouth from twitching. Did he have to be this stubborn? Then he began recalling the plot of the anime.

Something felt off to him. Before Blizzard died, hadn't he told Supersonic to lead the warriors back to Energy City? Had Xiao Zhen remembered it wrong?

Xiao Zhen asked uncertainly, "Supersonic, as far as I know, before your master died, didn't he tell you to bring everyone back to Energy City?"

The scene fell silent for a moment. Every Blizzard City warrior present focused their attention on Supersonic, because he had been the only one at the City Lord's side when he died.

Supersonic was utterly shocked. He could not help shouting, "How did you know that? I was clearly the only one there!"

Seeing Supersonic's reaction, Xiao Zhen finally understood. This guy had likely never told anyone else about Blizzard's final words.

The surrounding warriors began discussing it among themselves. If they had known that the City Lord had left such final words, quite a few of them would have returned to Energy City. After all, that was their true home.

Later on, many of Blizzard City's veteran warriors, homesick for Energy City, began persuading Supersonic not to defy the Mecha King's orders and to return to Energy City with everyone.

But unexpectedly, Supersonic was just that stubborn. No matter how everyone tried to persuade him, he remained unmoved.
