Chapter 52.1 - Peak Showdown
In the quarter-finals, Luo Fei met his senior from St. Romia Military Academy, and won 2:1. Then, he continued his performance and directly beat Bolt 2:0. Immediately afterwards, Mo Han played against his opponent in the quarter-finals, and also won 2:0 like Luo Fei.
Half of the top eight were eliminated. Among the remaining top four contestants, Mo Han and Luo Fei were in a group, while Iman faced off against Xiao Weiming from St. Romia Military Academy.
Not only is Xiao Weiming good at basketball, but he is also very good at driving mechs. He participates in the mech competition every year and won the championship last year. Iman is a rookie who’s participating for the first time. The audience was very optimistic that Xiao Weiming would win, but what surprised everyone was that Iman operated the spider mech at a tricky angle and win the against Xiao Weiming. In the second round, Xiao Weiming relied on his rich combat experience to make a thrilling comeback. But in the third game, Iman moved flexibly, taking advantage of the opponent’s inattention to decisively counterattack and kill him again with one blow.
2:1, Iman entered the finals.
In previous years’ Mech Contest, there were also Omega players among the participants, but only a handful of them made it to the finals.
Brian sat on the spectator stand and said with a smile: “My son is amazing!”
Lin Yuan also praised: “Iman has indeed inherited your talent in mechs. If Luo Fei meets him in the finals, who do you think will win?”
Brian thought for a while, and said, “Luo Fei and Iman have played together since they were young, and they often fought in mechs back then. The winning rate seems to be 50-50, right? It depends on their on the spot performance.”
Ling An heard their conversation from the side, and added, “Luo Fei may not necessarily make it to the finals.”
Startled, Lin Yuan turned to look at his younger brother. “His next opponent is Mo Han. Do you think Mo Han can beat him?”
Ling An smiled slightly and said, “Brother, there is one thing you don’t know. Luo Fei taught Mo Han all the skills of driving a mecha. Luo Fei can beat other masters, and has a high chance of beating a mecha genius like Iman, but he may not be able to beat Mo Han, because Mo Han knows Luo Fei very well, and even Luo Fei’s little habits of controlling mechas are well known to him. When Luo Fei taught Mo Han, he taught him everything he could without any reservations.”
Lin Yuan touched his chin thoughtfully: “You mean, Luo Fei taught Mo Han everything he learned without reservation, so Mo Han is likely to seize some of these small details and loopholes to fight back, and rely on his understanding of Luo Fei to win?” He didn’t quite understand and wondered out loud, “Since they’re both participating in the contest, why did Luo Fei teach Mo Han without reservation? Isn’t he setting up the most terrifying opponent for himself?”
Ling An shrugged. “The first-place prize is a combat mech personally built by Brian. Luo Fei already has the S-class mech Chongming, so he definitely has no interest in the prize. As for the so-called “First Place”, I don’t think Luo Fei cares about it. The reason why he taught Mo Han is because…”
It’s because he likes Mo Han, so he doesn’t mind teaching him everything.
Ling An remembered that Luo Fei said to keep it a secret, so he coughed immediately, and changed his words: “Because Luo Fei is more generous, Mo Han wants to learn, so he taught everything.”
“This is indeed like Luo Fei,” Lin Yuan sighed lightly. “He has had a big heart since he was a child, and is very sincere to others. I always feel that he will suffer if he continues like this.”
Ling An said with a smile: “Born in such an environment like the royal family, it is actually very rare for him to retain this sincerity. His sincerity will definitely win others to treat him with sincerity.”
Lin Yuan thought for a while, and felt that what his brother said made sense, so he nodded with a smile. “That’s true. It seems that he and Mo Han will become very good friends.”
Ling An said, not only as a friend, but if Mo Han becomes his consort in the future, he will have to follow Luo Fei and call you Dad.

The Mech Contest, which was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, was packed. When the list of matches was displayed on the big screen, immediate applause sounded from the scene.
Luo Fei from St. Romia Military Academy vs. Mo Han from Hermann University.
These two are participating in the mech competition for the first time this year. Mo Han has long been a celebrity among the younger generation. Everyone knows that he is a computer programming genius. He was born in the wealthy Mo family and owns shares in the Fengyang Group. He’s the most powerful and richest person in his generation, and countless omegas dream of marrying him.
They were relatively unfamiliar with Luo Fei. They know that the First Prince of the Empire is called Luo Fei, but few know what he looks like, because the royal family always pays attention to the privacy of their children. Before Luo Fei was 18 years old, there was no photo or video of him disseminated online.
But now that he is an adult, Xize feels that it is okay for him to show his face in front of the public, so His Majesty Xize was very supportive of Luo Fei’s participation in the Mech Contest.
Rich second generation versus Royal second generation, this showdown is really interesting.
In a blink of an eye, there were a lot of betting posts on major forums. People were betting like crazy, and the odds were fairly split with reasons for either side winning.
Some people say that Mo Han’s family is so rich, so he must have learned combat mechs since he was young, but chose not to participate before. Others said that Luo Fei was the son of Queen Lin Yuan, who piloted the legendary Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, a SS-class mech. Luo Fei must have inherited the genes of his parents, and his mech skills are definitely not bad.
The forums were full of chatter
In the arena, Luo Fei and Mo Han greeted the audience, and then entered the cockpits of their respective mechs.
While everyone knows that Mo Han looks good, this was their first time seeing Luo Fei’s appearance. They found that the appearance of this First Prince is also at the peak level of the younger generation, not inferior to his father, His Majesty Xize. With his handsome and tough features and slightly raised corners of his lips, the First Prince instantly captured a large number of face-cons.
Many people posted on the forum: “What should I do? Originally I thought Mo Han is the most handsome, but now I think it’s the First Prince!” “I also think the First Prince is very handsome! The style is different from Mo Han who looks cold. Luo Fei’s smile is very kind! He has no airs of being a prince at all!” “I vote for the First Prince!” “I vote for Mo Han!”
Ling An who was browsing casually couldn’t help laughing when he read those discussions — if those nympho boys and girls knew that their male gods would be together in the future, would their hearts be broken into pieces?

After doing final checks and adjustments in the cockpit, Luo Fei and Mo Han turned on the lights of their mechs to indicate that they were ready.
With one order from the system referee, the match officially began.
Luo Fei is driving a black humanoid mech, and Mo Han’s is white. They both use combat mechs provided by the competition organizing committee, and their shapes are very similar.
One black and one white, the two combat mechs started at the same time. Without any buffer or delay, Mo Han unceremoniously drew out the electromagnetic knife and attacked the black mecha’s neck!
The attack was too violent, and Luo Fei’s reaction was also extremely fast. He immediately controlled his mech to retreat and dodge. There was a collective exclamation from the crowd—
In previous games, contestants would test each other at the beginning.
But Mo Han didn’t even try to test, he fought with real strength from the very beginning!
Seeing that Luo Fei successfully dodged his attack, Mo Han was not discouraged, and immediately chased after him. This time, he directly activated the ion cannon, aimed precisely, and blasted at the opponent’s cockpit!
Luo Fei quickly rolled sideways to avoid the ion cannon, and in the next second, Mo Han’s mech raised his left arm, and fired another ion cannon, which actually hit the opponent’s mech exactly where it landed after the roll – only to hear “Boom!”
Luo Fei’s mech cockpit was actually hit.
The system popped up an alert, and the score 1:0 appeared on the big screen.
The audience was collectively stunned. Did the First Prince get beaten to the ground in less than half a minute of the first game?
A new round of discussions started on the forum: “The First Prince is terrible!” “Is Mo Han so good?” I’m a little confused!” “Don’t worry, just keep watching, our First Prince can’t be so weak!”
Lin Yuan, who was sitting on the high platform, saw this and couldn’t help saying: “Luo Fei couldn’t keep up with the rhythm. Mo Han knows him too well, the time difference is very clever.”
Ling An smiled and said, “It’s probably the first time Luo Fei has been beaten so badly since he was a child. He was beaten in less than half a minute.”
Seeing his gloating expression, Lin Yuan couldn’t help wondering: “You seem very happy that Luo Fei was blown up by Mo Han?”
Ling An rubbed his nose and said, “No, I just think that Luo Fei himself is happy.”
At this moment, in the cockpit, Luo Fei is really very happy, because Mo Han is smarter than he thought. Using the difference of these few seconds, he suddenly attacked and caught him off guard. Luo Fei himself is tired of parrying. In those few seconds, Mo Han predicted how he would evade and preempted a shot neatly at his landing point.
Such a calm Mo Han made Luo Fei admire him from the bottom of his heart.
Thinking that this is the apprentice he taught, Luo Fei felt even more proud.
As for being blown up and losing face in front of the people…
Is face so important? He doesn’t care at all.
Natural breakpoint in the chapter.
