Chapter 59

**Instant Kill, an identical instant kill.**

The audience fell silent, Dr. Han Jin's face as black as the bottom of a pot, his mouth twitching, yet unable to speak. After a moment of shock, Brother Ma seized the opportunity to speak, "Very exciting, the match is over. Ladies and gentlemen, this match might be due to General Lin Zhongying not being well-prepared. Perhaps, if we give him some time to prepare properly, we believe the next match will be even more..."

At this moment, Lin Zhongying logged off in a flash.

Brother Ma's mouth twitched, facing such a program guest, he was momentarily speechless. The beautiful female host, seeing the cold atmosphere, quickly clapped her hands and spoke, "Alright, a very exciting match. Ladies and gentlemen, are you all satisfied? Today, we thank Dr. Han Jin for coming to our live show, taking the first step in cracking the invincibility of the Traveler. We believe that in the near future, someone will definitely crack the secret of the Traveler. Now, let's watch a pleasant advertisement, and the show will be even more exciting."

The camera switched.

Brother Ma's face turned black, slamming the script on the table, "What the hell is this? We are doing a live show, do you understand? Who brought this fool? Lost and just logged off, not even a word, treating us like fools? Do you know how many people are watching this show? Are you deliberately embarrassing us?"

Everyone was speechless, letting Brother Ma vent his anger.

They also knew in their hearts that the one who would be the happiest if the Traveler's invincibility wasn't cracked would be Brother Ma himself. But... in a live show, the worst thing is to invite such an uncooperative guest. Such capricious behavior would definitely make the organizers lose face. According to their thinking: there are countless three-star warriors who have been instantly killed by the Traveler. If this were to lose face, would the ten thousand red steel armor masters of Great Azure dare to go out?

"We will communicate with the military and handle it properly. We guarantee that this won't happen again in the future." The new station manager, meekly obeying Brother Ma.

He had no presence at all as a station manager.

At this moment, he already knew how his predecessor was ousted. Behind Brother Ma, there was now a large group of wealthy merchants ready to make money.

Who would dare to offend him?

Three days later.

Brother Ma welcomed a new cracking expert.

"Welcome, Dr. Sang Yi, thank you for coming to the live show of 'The Invincible Path of the Traveler.' We also thank the joint sponsorship of Steel Dragon Mecha Company and Jing Clan Weapon Company, which has created a better environment and more ample time for our show. Ladies and gentlemen, we are honored to have Dr. Sang Yi here today to attempt a new crack at the invincibility."

"Thank you all for your support, thank you, Brother Ma, and thank you to the production team. Before I begin, I must clarify that this crack is not guaranteed to succeed. Based on my research, I have about a 70% chance of success. I have also invited General Dongteng from our federation to personally battle the Traveler to ensure authenticity." Dr. Sang Yi, having learned from the previous failure, did not speak too confidently.

His expression, however, seemed to indicate complete confidence.

Brother Ma cooperated, "Then, may I ask, Dr. Sang Yi, can you explain your research results?"

"Of course." Dr. Sang Yi was very cooperative, saying, "Regarding this self-destruct attack, after extensive research, we found that the 'Rushing Stream Core' and the 'Still Water Core' have this effect. Due to General Dongteng's lack of familiarity, we conducted a similar trial match, which took a bit longer."

The camera switched.

The three-star General Dongteng exploded a white iron armor master within two to three seconds.

From the situation... it seemed the opponent had no defense.

"Oh, the exact same result, thank you, General Dongteng, for the wonderful performance." Brother Ma was very cooperative, but there was disdain in his eyes, "Ladies and gentlemen, did you hear that? The Rushing Stream Core and the Still Water Core can produce this explosive effect. Could the Traveler's technique be the effect of these two cores? Let's connect with General Dongteng... General Dongteng, do you have the confidence to withstand the Traveler's attack?"

"Yes." General Dongteng was very confident, "My Still Water technique can neutralize most energy surges. The Rushing Stream technique also has strong neutralizing effects. I believe that today I can battle the Traveler, but I cannot guarantee victory. The Traveler has never formally engaged in combat, so I cannot speak lightly."

"Very good, then we wish General Dongteng success in his challenge, and we wish Dr. Sang Yi success in his crack, contributing a new force to the Azure Star Alliance." Brother Ma didn't say much more, switching the show to the match site.

On the stage.

General Dongteng saluted, indicating he was ready.

Du Nan nodded slightly.

With a wave of his hand.

General Dongteng's mecha exploded into pieces, without even a scream. This result made the camera freeze for ten seconds, until Du Nan logged off, and the camera switched back to the show. At this moment, Dr. Sang Yi still had a smile on his face, but it was more painful than crying.

"I'm sorry, I failed." General Dongteng apologized to the camera and quickly logged off.

He did not accept any interviews.

Brother Ma's face was very ugly, but he quickly adjusted his attitude, explaining to everyone. Although General Dongteng was uncooperative, at least he didn't make him lose face. Lost is lost, as long as the mecha fans are happy.

Next.

Over ten days passed, and the ratings of 'The Invincible Path of the Traveler' soared, even attracting people who were not mecha fans. The military conducted multiple experiments on the effects of the Vortex and Reverse Current Cores, the Still Water and Rushing Stream Cores, and later, the Ice Point and Ice Burst Cores, the Freezing and Flood Cores, and so on.

The result was the same: meaningless.

These special combination techniques indeed had the means to slaughter low-level warriors. However, for warriors of the same level or one level lower, they were almost useless. Even to overwhelm the lowest-level warriors, it required a long time to charge or the opponent not resisting to succeed.

For the various forces of Azure, the Traveler's instant kill remained an unsolved mystery.

A month passed.

More and more supplies were sent to Scrap Star, attracting the attention of some people. However, since it involved the Traveler, they had no choice but to let them pass. The military of each federation was constantly challenging the Traveler, trying to crack and utilize this supreme power. If he 'stopped playing,' how many people would be enraged?

Offending one or two federations was fine, but dozens, a hundred people working together, that was courting death!

The calls they received were all the same: let them pass, you must let them pass. Even if they throw weapons to Scrap Star, don't stop them. The Azure Star Alliance has several large star systems, countless abandoned mining planets, any of which could be a garbage planet. Let them pass, all of them!

Compared to an invincible instant killer at the three-star level, a mere garbage planet was nothing.

On Scrap Star.

The major cities also set up video networks, downloading and broadcasting the public matches of the Traveler from the Magic Net. When some children didn't understand why, the older people would tell them: those spaceships in the sky, which keep dropping food and clothes, are mostly called by this magic hero. We don't know who this benefactor is, but remember his nickname, don't forget his kindness.

Recently, the hunters' lives have not been easy.

The thugs no longer needed to rob food; now they were chasing the hunters to the death. With sufficient resources, the cities also began researching and distributing weapons.

The hunters hated the Traveler to the core.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." Brother Ma, whose status had risen, continued to broadcast live, "Today, we bring you a special program. After my hard work and persuasion, the Traveler has finally agreed to a one-on-two match today. On-site, we have also invited three military observers from the Tianyang military. Let's give them the warmest welcome."

Brother Ma's move also revealed his teeth.

This indicated: I have military support, don't play any tricks, I won't back down. Want to dig for information from me? First, you have to get past the military.

One-on-two.

This was not a regular match. The military of each federation also wanted to see the limits of the Traveler. Everyone realized that this instant kill must have limits. If it could be used infinitely, he could instantly kill an entire army, or defeat a swarm of insectoids on the battlefield.

The match began.

Du Nan immediately killed one of them.

Next.

He did not wave a second time, evading and fleeing under the pursuit of the other sword-wielding mecha. The mecha fans in the audience were not displeased; they did not see this as cowardice but as a tactical move. A mecha with a super-energy cannon dodging a melee attack was also an excellent ability, wasn't it?

Two minutes and thirty seconds later.

Du Nan stopped, waved his hand, and the sword-wielding mecha exploded.

The two losers were not upset, naturally accepting interviews. Their answers were similar to the previous armor masters: "We don't understand, can't figure it out. It felt like a force invaded our bodies, and our magic power suddenly lost control, then we self-destructed. No other feeling, lost in a very short moment. The Traveler is very powerful, we are not his match."

In the production team.

The three military observers silently noted the two minutes and thirty seconds.

At this moment, they calculated that if two people combined to attack the Traveler, if they couldn't defeat him within this time, they would definitely lose. The time might vary slightly when the Traveler faced different warriors, but not by much. The second instant kill happened around three minutes. They now understood the conditions and limitations of this invincible power.

A day later.

A special guest arrived at the production team.

"I believe this should be called 'High-Energy Explosion.'" One of the veteran guardians of the Tianyang Federation, Old Master Hong Zhen, opened his mouth, ignoring Brother Ma, and continued, "There is no such thing as an invincible technique in this world. The Traveler's unique skill is likely a technique similar to a high-energy explosion. I have conducted several video experiments, let's take a look."

The camera switched.

Under Old Master Hong's gestures, a one-star white iron and a two-star bronze warrior were instantly killed. At the three-star level, he needed some time to explode and kill. At the four-star and five-star levels, he could not successfully explode, only causing some damage.

Although the videos were similar, the levels were different.

"I believe the Traveler has a 'Complete Resonance' technique that can achieve this instant explosion effect. If you don't understand, let me explain with numbers. For example, if I have 1000, I can use my magic power to forcibly explode the mechas of these 10, 20, or even 100 warriors. Similarly, I can instantly kill them. But once it exceeds 100, I can no longer instantly kill."

Old Master Hong's explanation made people understand a bit.

A child can instantly kill an ant, but not necessarily a cat or a dog. An adult can do it, but not a tiger or a wolf.

"The Traveler's unique aspect lies in the 'Complete Resonance.' I'll use a number example, not the real numbers, so don't misunderstand. For example, if I have 1000, I can instantly kill all warriors below 100. The Traveler has 200, and he can instantly kill all those below 199. Of course, this is only for the first time; the second time requires new conditions." When Old Master Hong said this, the production team was stunned.

In front of the TV, the audience erupted in shouts.
