Chapter 65

In the program, Brother Ma was at a loss for words. At this moment, Old Hong unexpectedly burst into the scene, ignoring everyone as he adjusted the camera and slowly said, "This is very normal, there's nothing unreasonable. Xiao Zhuo, you don't need to keep shouting. Our military has already analyzed it; this isn't an accident."

"Old Hong..." Seeing the elderly man speaking, Zhuo Renjie wanted to react but didn't dare to: "Old Hong, please forgive me, there must be something wrong with this. I am a four-star magic energy warrior; it's impossible for me to be affected by this high-energy explosion, Old Hong, you must see this clearly."

"Hmph, ignorance." Old Hong angrily shouted, loudly lecturing: "Zhuo Renjie, you've been through battles, don't you even understand such a simple principle? Let's not talk about the traveler for now. I'll ask you, in a battlefield, can a genetic military dog defeat a hunting knife bug?"

"Impossible," Zhuo Renjie affirmed.

"What if the hunting knife bug's front pair of blade limbs are cut off?" Old Hong asked again.

"In that case, there might be a chance, but it probably still can't win."

"What if the hunting knife bug's sharp teeth and legs are also cut off?" Old Hong asked again.

"In that case, even a soldier without a gun could stomp it to death, let alone a genetically modified military dog," Zhuo Renjie laughed, indicating that this question was too simple. The hunting knife bug is strong, but once it loses its claws and teeth, it's just a big lump of flesh with a shell.

Old Hong also laughed.

At this moment, the audience also reacted.

A three-star warrior defeating a four-star warrior is unreasonable and impossible... but if Zhuo Renjie overused his magic energy and was nearly depleted, he would become a hunting knife bug without claws and teeth. The traveler's unique skills definitely don't have the attribute of 'I'm afraid of you if you're one level higher.' Regardless of the opponent, it must be 'I can defeat you if you're weaker than me.'

Zhuo Renjie still had a look of not quite understanding.

Old Hong shook his head and ignored him.

These young brats who haven't experienced setbacks are always immature warriors. Once they encounter any abnormal situation, they become dazed and crazy. Now, they can't even figure out such a simple principle. In the future, if they really have to fight against insectoids and star beasts, facing enemies that are a hundred times more bizarre... such people would be a burden on the battlefield.

"The match is over, dear viewers, now it's time for the lucky audience Q&A session."

Brother Ma switched the camera, completely ignoring Zhuo Renjie's shouts of "Wait, wait." At this moment, Brother Ma's status had soared, and he no longer needed to give these strong people face.

Besides, Zhuo Renjie wasn't a warrior of the Tianyang Federation.

He didn't need to care about him at all.

"During the random selection time, we'll read a few audience comments first." Brother Ma opened the camera page and randomly selected a comment, saying: "The first comment says, 'I heard that Zhuo Fan has over a hundred sons. How many are normal? Are any of them not silly?' Haha, this is just a joke, dear viewers. As far as I know, General Zhuo is a hero of the Red Dragon Federation, and having many wives and concubines is quite normal. As for his sons, I won't comment. I heard that only two have become magic energy warriors, so the genetic inheritance is still quite good."

The audience wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Over a hundred sons, and only two inherited the magic energy bloodline... this is still considered good genetics, and not a complete failure.

"The second comment says, 'Are the two unique skills of the traveler from the same source? The high-energy explosion and the suffocation effect are one, is this a major unique skill?' This question, I need to communicate with the traveler, I can't reveal the inside information on my own."

Brother Ma switched the camera, and on the other side, Du Nan had already nodded in agreement.

Oh oh oh!

The mech enthusiasts in the audience excitedly shouted.

"Okay, it seems the traveler has admitted it, it's definitely a major unique skill." Brother Ma smiled and continued, "Let me give a brief explanation for those who don't understand magic energy. Essentially, each seed core has different unique effects, except for pure water cores, which are 'pure type.' For example, the turbid flow core has a slight vision interference effect, and the slow flow core has a slight hindrance effect."

When these words were spoken,

The mech enthusiasts weren't interested, but some people who didn't understand magic energy listened very carefully.

"These unique effects are generally called 'unique skills,' and their effects can be big or small. I've already mentioned the small effects. For the big effects, the traveler's high-energy explosion is one of them, and it's the most terrifying one I've heard of. I believe it's hard to find another equally powerful effect in history. I must clarify that the effects of unique skills come from the core and are not limited to a single effect."

At this moment,

All the audience was captivated. They knew that the next part would be a secret.

"The unique skills of the core can be several effects of one core, or a combination of effects from two or more cores. Unique skills are divided into five types: small unique skills, which have one effect; major unique skills, which have two effects; super unique skills, which have three effects, and are said to be exclusive to nobles, with ordinary people unable to obtain them. Above that, the most prestigious royal unique skills, which have four effects, are super abilities. As for the final holy unique skills, which have five effects, are said to be extremely rare in the entire starry sky."

When mentioning nobles and royals, Brother Ma didn't dare to speak too much.

However, the audience was very satisfied. The traveler having a major unique skill with two effects was enough to satisfy them. Compared to small unique skills with one effect, their hero was already 'outstanding.' In their memory, even historical heroes rarely had major unique skills with two effects.

"Alright, the explanation ends here, and the lucky audience member has been selected."

After Brother Ma spoke, a round-faced girl with a face full of paint entered the camera, excitedly waving a small flag.

The paint on her face was clearly the mech that Du Nan often used. Before Brother Ma could speak, the girl had already asked a series of questions: "What color mech do you like? Have you been to the battlefield? Do you admire any magic energy warriors? What kind of food do you like? What kind of girls do you like? Are you married? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you have children?"

One question after another.

Non-stop.

Brother Ma waved his hand, feigning helplessness, and deliberately let this 'lucky audience member' have her way.

Du Nan was speechless.

So many questions, which one should I answer?

Finally, when the girl's excitement subsided a bit, Brother Ma took over and said, "Alright, you've asked so many questions, how can the traveler answer them all? Why don't you introduce yourself first? Or tell us your birthday, and I'll risk being instantly defeated to ask the traveler to bring you a gift, okay?"

The girl nodded frantically, too excited to speak.

Du Nan smiled.

These media people indeed knew how to attract attention. Following Brother Ma's lead, Du Nan agreed to give the girl a small, hand-carved mech model, made according to his own mech's form. The girl was so excited she almost fainted, and now she couldn't even speak.

After the trivial matters were settled,

A new challenge continued, this time from an unnamed challenger.

This silver mech master was very cautious, even further reducing the mech's defensive components, turning it into a simple outfit similar to winter clothing. After selecting a pair of long swords, he didn't waste time and immediately charged forward. The agile movements made it clear to everyone: this was an assassin from a federation's military, and a very professional old assassin.

At this moment, Du Nan switched to a long sword to fight.

The two swords clashed.

As a silver assassin, the mech master, due to not daring to waste too much magic energy, couldn't gain the upper hand for a while.

After a fierce battle for over ten minutes,

The assassin felt things weren't going well, the suffocation effect intensified, and his movements slowed... thinking that if he continued, he would surely lose. After a small flash grenade, the assassin activated the stealth component and disappeared from the arena. This high-magic-consuming device, he originally didn't want to use.

After exerting so much effort, he had no choice but to use it.

Du Nan gathered his strength with the long sword, observing the surroundings.

Slowly, with a single hand, he swung. Everyone thought there would be an explosion, but unexpectedly, no explosion occurred. In a corner of the arena, a frost spread, instantly freezing a human-shaped ice sculpture. Seeing the traveler charge forward, the long sword like a spear... the audience laughed.

"Finished," Old Hong also said softly.

Indicating that the assassin was now doomed, even if he could shatter the ice, he had lost the opportunity to dodge or block.

Crack.

The long sword pierced through the chest, and the assassin didn't react much. In this situation, he didn't even bother to shatter the ice. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the traveler was an ice-type warrior, and trying to assassinate him while being trapped in the 'suffocation water ball' was simply courting death.

"I lost, let's have another match if we have the chance," the assassin said calmly.

A four-star silver mech master losing to a three-star warrior, he didn't feel any frustration. As an 'inferior' assassin on the stage, he was used to such things. He was a strong fighter in the jungle, in adverse conditions, and in the dark. In a hundred-meter arena for direct confrontation, he was much weaker than melee and gun warriors.

Du Nan bowed in respect and didn't say much.

The third match of the day was against a silver warrior with an axe.

Heavy slashes, heavy chops, powerful and swift... he had several chances to almost kill Du Nan, but the ice-type warrior's delaying tactics were simply divine. Often at the most critical moments, just a little bit off, the axe warrior's slashes and chops couldn't seriously injure Du Nan.

After twenty minutes,

The axe warrior threw down his axe and surrendered, saying, "I give up, if I continue, I'll explode."

The audience was not surprised.

After such a long battle, this was the expected result.

For the fourth match, the opponent immediately chose several gun and cannon components. From the start, he tried to keep his distance and use guns and cannons to defeat the traveler. When Brother Ma and the audience saw Du Nan choose the stealth assassination component to counter, they all had strange expressions.

Sure enough,

The experienced gunner, once he saw his opponent disappear, couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

He fired a few random shots into the air.

Finally, when Du Nan reappeared right in front of him, he pressed the short gun with his left hand and thrust a dagger through his chest with his right hand. This move didn't immediately win, but the gunner surrendered. Such a fatal injury was incurable, and death was just a matter of seconds.

For the fifth match,

A mech with bombs all over its body.

He failed even faster. When he threw the most powerful bomb, Du Nan instantly used the strongest ice power to freeze his arm, trapping the bomb in his right hand. Although the bomber reacted quickly and cut off his arm with a dagger, the explosion still damaged his mech.

"I lost, I'll come back when I think of a way," the bomber surrendered, vowing to fight again.

Five matches in one day.

The audience was satisfied but also puzzled: Is this really a three-star versus four-star match?

How does it feel

That the silver mech masters are being dominated, and not the three-star warrior?
