Chapter 52.2 - Peak Showdown

In order to avoid injury to the players during the competition, the organizing committee created special combat mechs for the competition. Weapons such as ion cannons or the electromagnetic knife are controlled in how powerful they are. After a player is hit on a key part, the system will sound the alarm and the mechs will not be destroyed.

Therefore, after Luo Fei lost the first round, he could continue to use this combat mech in the second round.

After a short break, the second match started up.

The painting style changed suddenly. This time, Luo Fei made a sudden move. Before Mo Han had time to react, Luo Fei suddenly raised the arms of the mech, and the left and right ion cannons bombarded the opponent’s retreat at the same time. Mo Han couldn’t avoid it at all. He remembered what Luo Fei taught before – when you can’t dodge, you can use the defensive cover to take on the opponent’s attack, and try to find a chance to counterattack.

Therefore, Mo Han decisively opened the defensive cover, and with a “boom”, the ion cannon was successfully intercepted by the defensive cover!

Mo Han’s eyes were fixed on the holographic screen in front of him. Not far away, the electromagnetic knife in the hand of Luo Fei’s black mech flickered with a threatening aura. Under his control, the cold machine seemed to have life force, able to act according to his will. Wielding the electromagnetic knife, the black combat mech fiercely slashed at Mo Han’s white mech fiercely, forcing Mo Han to move sideways to dodge, but his mech’s knees were still pierced!

The mech’s joints were instantly destroyed, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

In the second game, Luo Fei won, and the battle time still did not exceed half a minute. The score was tied at 1:1.

Most viewers didn’t understand what was happening, but some experts commented on the forum: “Seize the opponent’s loopholes and kill them with one blow. Only opponents who know each other very well can play this kind of fast-paced game.” “Their level is about the same. Whoever seizes the opportunity first wins. It seems that they are very familiar with each other’s operating habits, shooting time and attack angle!” “I’m a little surprised, their offensive methods are very similar – do they have the same teacher?”

As an expert in mechs, Brian couldn’t help but smile when he saw this: “The apprentice Luo Fei taught is quite powerful.”

Ling An added: “Mo Han is very smart. If he were an ordinary person, even if Luo Fei taught him everything, he might not be able to achieve such a high level of mastery.”

Brian nodded in agreement.

Mo Han caught Luo Fei off guard in the first round, and Luo Fei fought back neatly and handsomely in the second round. The two are tied at 1:1, and the third round became the key.

The audience thought that the third round was still the fast-paced mode of “whoever attacks first wins”. However, to everyone’s surprise, the third round suddenly slowed down.

After the start, Mo Han didn’t make a move, and neither did Luo Fei.

Both of them seemed to have calmed down. It was like their usual training match, one moved first and tried to attack, but the angle and ferocity was nowhere like before.

Mo Han slashed at Luo Fei, Luo Fei dodged and seized the opportunity to fight back. Mo Han managed to dodge again, and then fought back…

The two fought back and forth for five minutes, but there was still no winner.

The two combat mechs, one black and one white, each held an electromagnetic knife in their hands. As long as the shining cold blade hits a key part, it can definitely cut off the power grid and paralyze the opponent.

But the strange thing is that Mo Han can avoid each and every of Luo Fei’s attacks, as if highly familiar with it. Similarly, Mo Han’s attack will also be quickly resisted by Luo Fei, it seems that Luo Fei is also aware of Mo Han’s style.

Although the two were rivals, their tacit understanding startled the audience.

The two people who knew each other so well played more and more excitingly in the final game.

The audience held their breath, for fear that if they blinked, they would miss out on the excitement.

The frequency of the two people’s movements became faster and faster, and exclamations burst out from the audience!

Despite Mo Han speeding up his attacks, Luo Fei continued to resist and seize the opportunity to fight back. The battle became more and more fierce, and for a while, the scene was full of dazzling lights from the ion cannon and the edge of the electromagnetic knife. The audience was dazzled and could only see two huge black and white mechs run, jump, attack, and dodge – like two human beings fighting in close combat!

The fierce battle lasted for ten minutes, but there was still no winner.

The commentator of the live broadcast channel couldn’t help exclaiming: “It’s really rare to see such a match between opponents! They know each other too well, so they can avoid each other’s attack. It doesn’t matter who wins or loses. This kind of wonderful duel is a kind of visual feast for all of us!”

Brian couldn’t help squinting his eyes slightly when he saw this – because he could see that the game could have been decided long ago, but Luo Fei guided Mo Han to keep up with his own rhythm. For ten minutes, it seemed that he was reluctant to end the match and wanted to fight Mo Han for a while, and Mo Han seemed to be addicted to it.

Brian even wondered whether these two were playing a game – were they amicably discussing with each other and communicating harmoniously?

Eleven minutes into the game, Luo Fei made a sudden shot!

The light of the ion cannon rushed towards the opponent, headed for the cockpit.

This angle is particularly tricky, and it is difficult for Mo Han to dodge. At the moment when the audience thought that the white mech would be hit, Mo Han suddenly manipulated the mech to turn over and lie on the ground. At the same time, it slid rapidly on the ground. In a blink of an eye, it slid behind the black mech, the electromagnetic knife in his hand suddenly appeared, and it slashed at the back of the waist of the black mech.

This reversal came so fast that the audience didn’t see it clearly.

It wasn’t until the score of 2:1 appeared on the big screen and the screen was replayed in slow motion that everyone realized how fast Mo Han reacted at the critical moment just now.

There was deafening applause at the arena.

Mo Han was almost out of breath. Just now, he thought he was doomed, but he remembered that in a previous training, Luo Fei had demonstrated this kind of operation of sliding and counterattacking, so he imitated it in a hurry. He never expected such an effect of lucking out and hitting a key part to knock Luo Fei out.

Mo Han took a deep breath, calmed down, and stepped out from the cockpit.

Today’s duel really made him very happy. Whether it was the fast-paced instant kill in the first two rounds, or the match-up in the third round, he felt that it was very lucky to meet an opponent like Luo Fei. Besides, his skills were all taught by Luo Fei.

I know him, and he understands me. This kind of duel is really great.

Luo Fei got down from the cockpit and walked up to Mo Han.

He didn’t seem to mind the loss at all. Instead, he smiled and said softly, “Congratulations, you’ve made it to the finals.”

Mo Han looked at him, and tried to keep a calm voice: “Beating you, I can only say that I am lucky.”

Luo Fei smiled and said, “Don’t be modest, you’re very good. As your teacher, I’m also very pleased.”

Facing Luo Fei’s gentle gaze, Mo Han felt his heart beating faster and faster. He was fascinated by Luo Fei’s grandeur in winning and losing, as well as the gentleness he treated him.

The next moment, Luo Fei stretched out his arms and said, “A friendly hug?”

Mo Han naturally did not object, and stretched out his hand to hug him gently.

He was actually reluctant to let go from the warm embrace.

The audience didn’t think too much about the courtesy hug after the game, they just felt that the picture of these two good-looking young people embracing was very beautiful.

The two hugged for more than ten seconds before letting go. Mo Han pretended to be calm, but Luo Fei’s eyes changed slightly.

Because at the moment when they hugged and parted, he suddenly saw a small red mole behind Mo Han’s left earlobe.

The three high intensity matches made Mo Han break out in a thin layer of sweat. The red mole was particularly noticeable against the sweat-soaked hair, and the round outline was particularly distinct in his eyes.

Previously, whenever he had close contact with Mo Han, he always stood on the right side, so he didn’t notice this feature. It happened to be on the left today, and it also happened that Mo Han’s hair was damp which is how Luo Fei discovered the red mole that was covered by his hair before.

Luo Fei clearly remembered the evening when Mo Lin was crying and complaining when he bumped into him at Mo’s house. He saw a red mole on the back of Mo Lin’s earlobe. It is the same as the one he just saw, with a particularly regular round shape and red color, contrasting sharply against fair skin.

But today, he saw an identical round mole on Mo Han, which was also behind the left earlobe?

Twins looking alike can be explained by genetic similarity.

But even the mole behind the ear is exactly the same, how is this possible?

When Luo Fei was a child, there was a small black mole on the back of his hand. He curiously asked Uncle Snow what it was. Moles can be congenital, but some are acquired. Medically, they are benign skin tumors, and nothing to worry about. There is less than a one-in-a-million probability that skin moles will become malignant.

Because they are benign tumors, no mole on one person will be exactly the same as another person. Even if it’s a pair of twins, it is impossible for their cells to undergo the exact same changes on the exact same spot, and for a mole to grow in the same place.

The more Luo Fei thought about it, the more shocked he became. A ridiculous idea suddenly popped up—

Are Mo Han and Mo Lin not twins, but the same person?!

Luo Fei finally learns (or guesses) the truth!
