The Nether River Returns to the World
Leng Feng knew he couldn't delay any longer; he had to fight with all his might.
Leng Feng of this, Thunderbolt Blade Mecha crackled with electricity, turning half the battlefield purple.
Then his Magic Power and health points rapidly decreased, and he entered an invincible state. At the same time, his equipped weapon began to change, and a huge Pulse Weapon gradually appeared in front of him.
Old Wang knew he had gone too far; he sensed a strong threat emanating from the opponent's Pulse Cannon.
But he laughed, a very excited laugh.
His laughter was so loud that the audience thought he had gone crazy from the pressure.
However, after Old Wang took out a button and pressed it, they realized they had underestimated this freak.
Three Magic Array enveloped Old Wang, and a red fighter jet tore through space in the sky, changed shape, and merged with Old Wang.
When the River Styx Armor made its debut, the entire audience stood up, witnessing this breathtaking scene.
The River Styx Armor, hundreds of meters long, exuded an aura of destruction, giving off an invincible feeling.
Leng Feng, Old Wang's opponent, also saw it. Suppressing his shock, he aimed his fully charged Pulse Weapon at Old Wang and shouted:
"Thunderbolt Burst!"
With a roar, a purple Pulse Beam straight toward Old Wang.
Seeing this, Old Wang roared:
"Well done! The Red Lotus Bloom!"
The hundreds-of-meters-long River Styx Armor responded to the call, and a Red Lotus appeared in the sky. From within the Red Lotus, a crimson ray burst forth, meeting Leng Feng's Thunderbolt.
In people's minds, such a clash of waves should be evenly matched, until one side can no longer hold on and is overwhelmed by the other.
However, the clash between Old Wang and Leng Feng did not go as they had imagined. The Thunderbolt Burst and the Red Lotus Ray were crushed by the Red Lotus Ray the moment they touched.
Thunderbolt Burst, Pulse Energy Cannon, and Thunderbolt Blade Mecha were all instantly destroyed and vaporized; this was by no means an evenly matched battle.
The River Styx Armor is Legendary, Cheat Equipment, and given the difference in their attributes, this situation is perfectly normal.
Leng Feng's defeat was expected by some, but the speed of his financial loss was unexpected.
They had initially thought that Leng Feng, having pushed himself to his limits, would cause this person a lot of trouble, but now they realized they were naive; the opponent hadn't even lost any health.
"Let's call him on that mission. That guy said Leng Feng had no chance of winning at all, and it seems he wasn't wrong!"
"Okay, I'll contact him after the competition is over!"
After Old Wang and Leng Feng's match ended, there were actually a few more matches, but after watching this match, Player found the other matches rather uninteresting.
Even Wang Xinghe's Blazing Wyvern failed to interest them any further.
The River Styx Armor is truly amazing; it's practically the Superweapon that Player have always dreamed of!
As Player inquired about what it was, the NPCs in the stands fell silent.
Player hadn't heard of the River Styx Armor, but how could they not have?
However, the only River Styx Armor whose owner is currently unknown was manufactured using the one-time blueprint requested by General Huang, who betrayed the Alliance; the other aircraft are all registered.
A single blueprint could produce a finished product so quickly; there's no way he could have done it without factional support.
The radicals, the conservatives, and the people Xun Min knew each other very well, but none of them had ever heard of this person.
This person is definitely worth studying; he must be a representative of the Neutral Faction.
But what is his relationship with General Huang? And what attitude does his appearance represent for the Neutral Faction?
Is it dissatisfaction with the Xun Min's behavior, or is it that the long-dormant Neutral Faction is about to emerge? Is the once all-powerful Sky-Covering Wings of the Stars returning?
They had to consider these things. The power struggle at the top of the Alliance had already begun, and one wrong step could lead to utter ruin. They didn't want to end up dead without knowing why.
"Sir, the men we sent to investigate him have returned!"
"What was the result?"
"His information was taken away by Elder Zhang and classified as top secret; they couldn't find anything!"
"Hmph, this old codger is over 900 years old. Instead of researching his Millennium Tribulation, he's meddling in these things. Isn't he afraid of passing away in a flash?"
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the man spoke angrily.
But all he could do was rage impotently. Not to mention that General Zhang held a higher Position than him and was an absolute core figure of the Neutral Faction, just considering the level of their Mecha, he was no match for the other.
"Report this news to Xun Min, and don't worry about anything else!"
The person next to that man looked at his companion venting his anger, thought for a moment, and then spoke to the person who was reporting.
"Don't say things like that again. If that old man finds out at a time like this, even Xun Min can't save you," the man said to the impotently furious man after his subordinate left.
"Can he convict me based on my words?"
"He can't convict you, but he can fight you to the Deathmatch. Are you his match?"
Upon hearing this, the man fell completely silent. Indeed, if the man shamelessly insisted on Deathmatch, then he would truly be doomed.
He was Legendary hundreds of years ago, while I am not even Legendary.
What a load of rubbish!
After the first day of competition, everyone had already predicted the final result.
Old Wang is definitely number one; he should lead the pack with a perfect record.
The moment his River Styx Armor appeared, everyone knew he was invincible.
Every single one of these people is his match.
Then it should be Leng Feng; he should only lose to Old Wang, and no one else should be able to do anything about him.
Next should be Wang Xinghe; he's quite strong.
Some people initially thought it was just wishful thinking, wondering if Old Wang's River Styx Armor was just a one-time ultimate move, but the system directly revealed the attributes of the River Styx Armor.
When everyone realized that this monstrous thing was actually equipment, its exaggerated 5x attribute boost made it impossible for anyone to even think of fighting it.
"This..."
"Wow!"
"So, besides the equipment they're wearing, Player can also equip this kind of Special Equipment?"
"I'm begging you Thousand King Gambler, to tell me where I can get this equipment."
"My roommate is dying. Before he dies, he wants a piece of equipment like this. Can someone please give me a way?"
"Me too!"
"Stop messing around, this is Legendary Equipment. If it were easy to obtain, it would have already taken off in the Future. Even if he told you, you still wouldn't be able to get it."
"I want to know who this 'Thousand King' really is? How did he manage to acquire such Rare equipment?"
The system's announcement of the River Styx Armor reignited the game's excitement, and the Future Guild's Reputation soared once again.
After washing up in the evening, Lin Qimeng looked at these comments online and frowned.
"What's wrong? Something on your mind?"
Old Wang hugged Lin Qimeng from behind as she watched the virtual world and asked, "This screen is huge."
After finally managing to control his unruly hands, Lin Qimeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "How come I never noticed you had this talent before?"
"If I had just casually displayed my talent back then, wouldn't I have been arrested?"
"You're quite proud of yourself!"
"That's right, of course!"
Ah~
It started raining tonight, and the raindrops, driven by the wind, pattered against the window, a very rhythmic sound.
After the rain, the moon peeked out from behind the clouds, perhaps a little shy, and even veiled itself in a thin mist.
Old Wang, lying on the bed, gently kneaded a bowl in his hands and asked Lin Qimeng, who was leaning against his chest with her eyes closed, "So why were you unhappy just now?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I always feel that the Future has reached a level that doesn't belong to him because of you, and I'm a little worried..."
"Are you worried I'll collapse?"
"On one hand, and on the other hand, you're ultimately alone. If you always rely on yourself, one day you'll get tired!"
"I'm not alone, I still have you, don't I?"
"You have such a sweet tongue! Mua~"
"You started it!"
"Ah~ no, I was wrong~"
The two started fighting again, and the moon hid once more.
Old Wang understood Lin Qimeng's concerns. He was actually training her and other Future teammates, and the results were already visible.
Old Wang can now confidently say that even if he falls from grace now, his Future will simply not be as prosperous as it is now, but he will not fall from the ranks of a top-tier organization.
However, he believed he would not fall, and his lead had already created a significant gap between him and the other Player.
