Good luck?

Chi Feng felt a burning sensation on his face.

Not real pain, but the pain of being slapped in the face.

The words he had just spoken now seemed so ironic.

This middle-aged uncle beside him must be doing it on purpose, right?

Chi Feng couldn't keep his composure and said in a deep voice:

"Pull up the detailed data for me. I want to check Ronan's hand speed during that operation just now!"

Before the intelligent computer in the database center could respond, the middle-aged uncle had already said lightly, "It must be over 400."

Chi Feng's eyes widened.

The next second, the intelligent computer extracted the data.

[427a]

"This kid's hand speed... how is that possible..." Chi Feng felt parched, as if he had encountered something unbelievable. Since Ronan entered the manor, he had never paid attention to this child. In his opinion, Ronan was very likely the product of his old comrade's youthful charm.

The act of sacrificing himself to save Wei Wei that night made Chi Feng feel a little more favorable towards him, but he thought it was only right. Wei Wei was the apple of Yi Lin Manor's eye, and it was normal for Ronan to protect her. On the contrary, Ronan's repeated conflicts with Xiang Feihu over Su Xiao made Chi Feng very unhappy.

Because of the ambush, the relationship between Yi Lin Manor and the Li Family was already tense.

Provoking Su Xiao at this critical juncture, wasn't that slapping Li Nanbei in the face? If the Li Family was truly pushed too far, no one would benefit. Therefore, Chi Feng had never shown Ronan a good face, believing that this young man from the countryside was just getting by on the stubbornness unique to country folk. Perhaps some people would find him interesting at first, but over time, everyone would surely see through his rotten core.

He had heard about the Martial Hall incident today, so he specifically rushed over to keep things under control.

After all, the Earl was not here, and Xiang Feihu openly barged into the Martial Hall, so there had to be a master sitting in charge, right?

Regarding the match between Ronan and Xiang Feihu, he had never been optimistic about Ronan.

He didn't even think Ronan could win a single round.

However, reality had severely slapped him in the face.

"Sixteen years old, 400a+ hand speed... Earl, what kind of monster have you brought to Yi Lin Manor!" Chi Feng muttered, suddenly reacting and commanding, "Right, after the match ends later, delete all the simulation combat data from today!"

[Deleting data requires Level 7 authority!]

The intelligent computer responded.

"I'm Level 9!" Chi Feng said disdainfully.

The middle-aged uncle beside him said cheerfully, "I thought you would lose your composure. You've adjusted back so quickly? As expected of Chi Feng, who has the name of God of War."

Chi Feng said self-deprecatingly, "God of War is just a false name. In a small place like this, I can naturally do as I please, but when I encounter a true master, Xiao Long and I are actually nothing!"

"Not to mention the distant past, just look at Li Nanbei, who rose a few years ago. After all this time, Xiao Long and I are probably no longer his match."

Speaking of this, a rare trace of vicissitude appeared on his resolute face.

"Getting old, getting old... The future belongs to the younger generation."

With that, he walked out of the Main Data Room alone.

The middle-aged uncle was surprised, "Not going to watch anymore? There's still the fifth round?"

Chi Feng cursed as he walked, "With 400a+ hand speed, what's there to watch? Xiang Feihu..."

"He's just humiliating himself!"

Inside the 1st Pod, Xiang Feihu was covered in cold sweat.

The plot twist was too exaggerated.

He believed he hadn't been careless. In every round, he had given his all.

But he still lost, and he lost so completely!

Light Mech combat was actually quite monotonous, like two ancient swordsmen engaged in close combat. There wasn't much technical content or room for maneuver. It was purely a test of awareness and proficiency.

If the first round loss was due to Ronan's opportunistic tactics and luck, then in the second round, Xiang Feihu had nothing more to say.

He was sweating profusely. Thinking of the bet he had made with Ronan earlier, his mindset was a bit explosive.

If he lost...

The Li Family would be disgraced!

They would no longer have any reason to control Su Xiao's social life and actions.

And Yi Lin Manor's arrogance would run rampant in a short time!

"No! I can't lose!"

Xiang Feihu gritted his teeth and encouraged himself.

Clang!

In the arena, Ronan in the 2nd Pod had already drawn his sword first!

Xiang Feihu took a deep breath and also drew his sword!

The fifth match, a life-and-death showdown, officially began!

Everyone held their breath.

They knew that this match, having reached this point, held a different significance. It was no longer just a clash of egos between two individuals, nor was it solely about Su Xiao's freedom; it had escalated into a direct confrontation between the Li Family and Yi Lin Manor.

No one had expected that the young man, rumored to be from a farm, could shine so brightly in the virtual mecha combat pod. Being able to draw with Xiang Feihu in the previous four matches was already enough for an ordinary person to be proud of.

Wei Wei's expression was complex. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Logically and emotionally, she naturally wanted Ronan to win, yet—she didn't want him to win for another girl.

This was a very contradictory feeling.

On the other side, Su Xiao was much calmer. Su Xiao was a very intelligent woman, insightful about human nature and worldly affairs. After gradually getting to know Ronan, she had actually vaguely seen that this guy was definitely not an ordinary character.

That side kick earlier was probably just a prelude to this somewhat naive young man making his mark in Bo Ning District. Without absolute confidence, how could he dare to challenge Xiang Feihu?

"But, is it all because of a friend? Or is it just pure dislike?"

Regarding this point, Su Xiao hadn't quite figured it out yet.

Regardless of what the girls on the fourth floor were thinking, how shocked the surrounding Bo Ning District nobles were, or how unwilling and resentful Su Jie was, practically stomping his feet and cursing; the fifth match finally began!

Ding dong!

The signal announcing the start of the match sounded, and the two White Generals unexpectedly charged towards each other simultaneously!

Both sides had their engines pushed to the maximum!

Mecha collision!

And it was such a short-range, explosive head-on collision!

Everyone felt their adrenaline surge uncontrollably. They stared intently at the two moving behemoths in the arena!

Some girls gripped their skirts tightly, even holding their breath.

This was the charm of mecha!

Even with just one mecha, when it began to charge, when the beast-like engine started to turn, when the explosive power of the Primal Stone flowed through every inch of the mecha, people would be shocked and awed by it!

Even though it was just a simulated battle, because the special effects were astonishingly realistic, it was almost indistinguishable from a real battle. People felt as if they were on a battlefield.

The two White Generals collided in the blink of an eye!

In an instant, the 2nd Mech suddenly performed three incredible movements in quick succession!

The first movement: while sprinting at high speed, it suddenly took a step to the left without losing balance. This was almost impossible to do, but Ronan did it!

The second movement: its left mechanical arm reached out towards the opposing Laser Sword, grabbing the opponent's weapon with incredible precision!

The third movement: the Light Sword in its hand, at an extremely tricky angle, suddenly stabbed towards the 1st Mech's chest!

Because both sides were moving at super high speed, facing Ronan's abnormal hand speed, Xiang Feihu had no room to react at all!

Boom!

A huge noise erupted as the two mecha collided!

A shocking scene appeared—Ronan's Light Sword directly pierced through Xiang Feihu's chest!

If this were a real battle, Xiang Feihu would already be dead!

1st Mech destroyed! 2nd Pod wins! 2nd Pod achieved 'One-Hit Armor Break'! Score: 2 to 3!

The entire venue fell into dead silence.

Even when Ronan walked out of the combat pod with some reluctance, they hadn't reacted yet; the match was already over.

Ronan won.

One-Hit Armor Break!

He stood in front of the combat pod, looked at the girls on the fourth floor, and smiled.

The next second, on the fourth floor, thunderous applause erupted!

"Ronan! Ronan!"

"One-Hit Armor Break!"

"Oh my god! I actually saw a One-Hit Armor Break!"

"This is the real genius... a true mecha genius!"

"That was... a One-Hit Armor Break!"
