Counterfeit Hero

Under Torick's lead, the Federation Mechas quickly disengaged from the enemy, though it cost them two comrades. However, they did not give the [Demon Tigers] any chance for close contact afterwards.

The so-called Mecha Hunter, often described as the most despicable, shameless, cunning, and unscrupulous, was trembling.

"Damn, we've met experts this time!"

Seeing the movements of these [Demon Tigers], Tian Xingjian was sure that these soldiers from the Mythical Army were at least ten times more dangerous than ordinary Special Soldiers. Their Mecha operation skills were extraordinarily refined and ferocious, honed through life-and-death combat on the battlefield, and aimed solely at killing, exuding a chilling murderous aura. Ordinary Mechas couldn't compare in terms of speed and strength when these [Demon Tigers] closed in. In the midst of gunfire and artillery, they relied purely on maneuvering to dodge long-range attacks, a level of training that even the Federation Special Soldier training program had never considered. No wonder legends said that Energy Cannons and missiles were ineffective against these Mechas. If not for tricking them initially and having [Antenna] disable their Mechanical Computers, forcing them to manually control their Mechas, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Originally confident in his skills after six months of harsh training in the gravity room, Tian Xingjian now felt only half as confident after witnessing the combat of these ordinary Mythical Army [Demon Tigers].

This remaining confidence stemmed from Tian Xingjian's unique combat techniques. His skills had helped him repeatedly defeat powerful enemies in the war simulation network. During training in the gravity room, his speed greatly improved, leading him to believe that he could outpace even the [Demon Tigers] due to his naturally quick hands.

However, his own Mecha combat had a major flaw compared to the enemy: he hadn't undergone the trials of blood and fire. The calmness, precision, and accurate judgment needed in life-and-death battles under gunfire usually require countless battles to develop. He was essentially a novice who had fought only a few times in the war simulation network.

"Damn it, don't think about it! I'm fighting with all I've got today, whether horizontally or vertically. If I die, I'll just sleep; if I kill one, it's worth it. If I kill two, it's a profit." Tian Xingjian began to imagine himself as a ruthless villain, being cruel to both enemies and himself.

During recent battles, he noticed an inexplicable part of his nature. Normally timid, he would dodge danger whenever possible. But when he couldn't, he would turn reckless, becoming more excited the more intense and dangerous the battle became, almost hysterical like a stimulated madman, with thoughts only of killing. He felt like he didn't fear anything, breaking rules and going all out, even suspecting he might have a split personality.
