The EMP battle zone was bustling like never before. Apart from the S-rank matches, no unofficial battle had ever attracted such widespread attention. At this moment, tens of thousands of hosts from the four major battle zones of the alliance were discussing the upcoming battle.
The Mars faction and the Earth faction, the virtual faction and the real faction, were all engaged in heated debates. The EMP official was pushing out updates across all four battle zones. This was a battle that no mecha enthusiast could afford to miss. Even in the S-rank matches, Luo Meiluo was a formidable contender capable of winning the solo championship. Facing such an opponent, could Puppet still pretend to be weak?... What pretense? The question was whether he could win at all.
In the official live broadcast room, Zhuang Zhou was hosting. There were three people in the broadcast room this time. Zhuang Zhou had returned to his major, responsible for the off-site interaction and connection of this live broadcast. A new professional commentator, "Mad Warrior", was added to spar with Fireman.
Mad Warrior was selected due to the support of USE fans, with applications reaching millions. The official complied with public opinion and gave Mad Warrior this opportunity. His previous battle with Ant No.2 had won him countless fans. He had vision, magnanimity, and considerable professional quality. Plus, he had some connection with Puppet, so his participation in this commentary received a lot of fan support. His professional background in ancient martial arts was valued by the official.
Fireman didn't care. Little Zhuang was not enough to fight anyway.
The official had consulted Zhuang Zhou's opinion. Zhuang Zhou raised both hands in agreement. His current situation was more suitable for hosting and connecting. Although he had been cramming mecha professional knowledge during this period, he was not a professional fighter. This gap could not be filled in a short time. As for the intrinsic things in the battle, he couldn't make up for it. He would delay Puppet's performance. Mad Warrior's level was absolutely up to par.
"Mecha enthusiasts from the solar system, the battle of the year in EMP is about to be presented to you. The contenders are Puppet and Lone Wolf Luo Meiluo. Today, my duty is to interact with you, submit hot questions to the two professional commentators. Let me introduce to you, Fireman, my former partner, you all know him, he's quite stubborn," Zhuang Zhou said, returning to his familiar position, he seemed particularly relaxed. "The other one, I need to introduce in detail, Mad Warrior, a professional commentator from USE, also a professional player, born in an ancient martial arts family. Today, they will provide professional match analysis for you."
In an instant, the search volume for Mad Warrior skyrocketed. Not just anyone could appear in such a place. It was not an exaggeration to say that he became famous overnight. And although Zhuang Zhou was a bit lacking in professional knowledge, he was popular and a die-hard fan of Puppet, with countless supporters. What was the background of this Mad Warrior that he and his fans agreed on?
Soon, the amateur competition held in the Greater Bay City was dug up. It turned out that Puppet had taken the time to participate in such an amateur competition. Although it was in the virtual zone, the two Armored Leopards were a bit too exaggerated. It turned out that someone could manually accelerate the cross wheel. The virtual zone of the US had some stuff.
Of course, the key point was that after the match with Ant No.2, Mad Warrior's accurate judgment and responsibility. Despite the audience's doubts, he still firmly recognized Ant No.2's strength. He was willing to take the risk of a significant drop in popularity to bear the loss and stick to his views. Until Puppet parachuted in and challenged Ant No.2, this indicated that Ant No.2 was definitely not a nobody. Then there was the cross wheel duel, which fully verified Mad Warrior's judgment.
As a professional host, Mad Warrior possessed the most important qualities. No wonder the official would give him such an opportunity. The audience was also full of expectations.
Fireman sneered. He, of course, knew about his opponent. He could only say that the guy was lucky. There were plenty of such people on Mars. People still needed some luck.
"Gentlemen, there's still some time before the match begins. How do you see the outcome of this duel?" Zhuang Zhou asked with a smile, changing his task and immediately becoming adept.
Fireman glanced at Mad Warrior, "You go first."
Mad Warrior didn't stand on ceremony, "As a former mecha fighter, Lone Wolf is a top-notch master that I can't match. I really like his tearing-style fighting style. And I can be sure that player Luo Meiluo has reached a very high level on the golden zone road."
"Of course, Luo Meiluo is the pride of our Mars!" Fireman nodded, indeed, he was a seasoned player, very cooperative, unlike some greenhorn.
Mad Warrior smiled slightly, "We are using the real mode. At this level, for player Luo Meiluo, the operation is already surplus. Simply put, it's like a professional player playing in the virtual zone, it will be more relaxed. Similarly, Puppet must have also reached this level. The choice of mecha and comprehensive technology will determine the outcome."The man known as Fire nodded, seemingly impressed by the young man. "That's right, the physical burden can be completely ignored. Puppet has been showing off with his armor-type mecha, but I wonder if he would dare to do so when facing a real fighter of the same level."
"I'm not sure what Puppet will choose, but if he continues with the armor-type mecha and Luo Meiluo chooses a super mecha, the balance of victory will tilt. From a rational perspective, the odds are probably 40 to 60," said the expert in martial arts earnestly.
Fire laughed, "Good, it's refreshing to meet someone who dares to speak the truth. Be careful though, you might not be able to go back."
Looking at the barrage of comments, Puppet's fans on Earth were exploding.
"Mad Martial Arts, why don't you go be a dog on Mars!"
"Refund his ticket, let him float back from space!"
"I misjudged this traitor, what a coward, why did I ever support him."
The martial arts expert was not affected, "There's another factor. In choosing the combat environment, Puppet always leaves it to his opponent. Everyone knows how important the combat environment is. It involves proficiency, mecha compatibility, and so on. It's almost a must-contest area for the contestants. If Puppet still lets Luo Meiluo choose freely under these circumstances, the odds of winning the match would be theoretically only 10%."

As soon as he finished speaking, the barrage of comments became unreadable. Zhuang Zhou initially tried to explain and calm the fans' emotions, but it was beyond his control now.
Meanwhile, countless live streamers were also paying attention, immediately commenting on the martial arts expert's statement.
At this time, the official live broadcast room had over 130 million online viewers.
The match hadn't even started yet.
The EMP centers of almost all military academies on Earth and Mars were already full. Holographic images were projected outside the buildings, attracting countless students. This battle was destined to be the center of attention. Could Puppet truly defeat a top-tier contestant, a terrifying warrior who had humiliated Earth's fighters in the S competition?
The martial arts expert's statement caused a wave of cheers among the Martian audience. This was the Lone Wolf Luo Meiluo, a super warrior capable of conquering other federations. He was definitely not comparable to the attention-seeking Puppet.
As long as he dared to show off, the Martian warriors could turn him into firewood!
This kind of competition was a festival for men.
The same was true for the Tianjing Mecha Academy. Whether it was the mecha department or other departments, everyone was at the EMP center. It was already crowded. Only because of the status of Zhou Naiyi and Wu Zang, they could still get in after dinner. Otherwise, it would be a dream.
But when they arrived, the crowded crowd squeezed out a gap for them, accompanied by applause and cheers. This was the support and endorsement of the students of Tianjing Mecha Academy for their own team.
Tan Ziyuan, Sheng Man, and Lu Lingxiao also enjoyed this supreme treatment. However, everyone felt a sense of "familiar family greeting" when they heard the analysis of the martial arts expert.
As a commentator, one cannot be completely rational. There are positions involved. If his curse really came true, the martial arts expert might not want to return to Earth. He would really be beaten.
Fire laughed. In fact, all kinds of experts had analyzed the match countless times before the competition. It's just that no one would say such a conclusion in a live broadcast. They needed to leave some suspense.
"It seems that the outcome of this match should not be a problem. It's just a matter of how exciting the process can be. I didn't expect to meet a knowledgeable partner in Puppet's final match." Fire laughed heartily, even winking at Zhuang Zhou.
The live broadcast had already reached 150 million viewers. It was predicted before the match that it would be very popular and might break 100 million, but the exponential effect was still underestimated. Plus, it was the weekend, attracting a large number of viewers. All the bars in various places were showing this match, and the actual number of viewers was even higher.
At the same time, it also aroused the anger of a large number of Earth viewers. This so-called martial arts expert was not as good as Zhuang Zhou. Although Zhuang Zhou's professionalism was a bit lacking, he was never cowardly. What was this guy doing up there? Even if... the fact was like this, he should have a position!
Especially on the Mars side, the director gave the martial arts expert a close-up, and even wrote the post-match headline, "A clear-headed person conquered by Martian warriors."
The martial arts expert shook his head, looking seriously at Fire, "The conventional analysis I just mentioned, for this match, my personal view is that Puppet's winning rate is over 90%."
"Oh, 90%, although a bit conservative..." Fire paused, his face slightly changed, but he did not panic, "Hehe, I would like to hear your reasons, Mad Martial Arts. This is your first time participating in such a big scene, with countless viewers watching, so you need to be careful with your words. You can eat recklessly, but don't speak recklessly, and don't try to attract attention."Zhuang Zhou, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh. Teacher Huo was off on a tangent again.
The mecha expert nodded, "I'm extremely nervous, actually. I've been pinching my thigh non-stop and I dare not look at the comments. Ahem, I'm a loyal fan of Puppet. I've watched all his battles. I saw the shadow of ancient martial arts in them, but that's just a small part. My judgement is this: if Puppet chooses a super mecha at the start of the match, the odds of winning are fifty-fifty. If Puppet continues with his usual style, then the odds of winning should be one hundred percent."
Huo Nan's mouth twitched. He thought he had found someone reliable, but it turned out to be someone who was even more pretentious!
