Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"You're only telling us this now? How can you face us, your longtime fans who have supported you, Shuojin?!"

In an instant, the fans in the audience felt as if they had been utterly deceived and began to protest.

"Shuojin, get out! Shuojin, get out! Shuojin, get out!"

"Fermented rotten eggs that have been fermenting for 500 years can now be bought for only 100,000 credits each! Everyone come and buy them...!" Yan Huan held up her basket of eggs, enthusiastically promoting the rotten eggs she bought online for 50 cents.

"Damn it, buy it!!"

Enraged, many audience members bought Yan Huan's rotten eggs, grabbed them, and angrily threw them at Shuo Jin on the stage.

In an instant, a torrent of eggs rained down, filling the entire stage with a foul stench.

Shuojin smiled slightly and opened his arms:

"Everyone, let me now demonstrate the functions of this power armor!"

In an instant, the power armor glowed red and quickly deployed a transparent protective shield in front of Shuojin, blocking out all the foul-smelling black egg liquid.

Jimi, who had already run offstage to hide, saw this scene and still grabbed the microphone to praise it:

"As expected of the company's latest power armor, it can actively deploy a field for defense even when the pilot is outside the cockpit!"

"Go to hell!!"

As soon as Jimi shouted, several eggs flew towards it.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't hit me!" Jimi quickly started running around the field on his puppet legs.

Shuojin, who was still standing on the stage, smiled and said:

"Please hold your anger!"

"To prove that what I said is true, I will put on this suit of armor today and demonstrate it to you all, so that you can see whether my every move is perfectly matched with this company's armor!"

He looked at Luca standing to the side, a smile spreading across his face.

"Everyone!"

"In the previous martial arts ceremony, I narrowly lost to Luca from Beloberg by one move!"

"Since he happens to be visiting today, I, Shuo, will venture to challenge him again. I wonder if Luca would be willing to give me some pointers once more?"

Luca looked completely bewildered, then pointed to himself.

"I?"

"But I'm just here to participate in the event, why should I fight you?"

Shuo Jin stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly:

"Luca, stop pretending."

“Yesterday, a kind person sent me some historical materials.”

"You're not actually a native of Belloberg, are you?"

Upon hearing this, the room immediately fell silent again.

Is there a reversal?

The audience looked at each other, stopped throwing eggs, and listened attentively, not wanting to miss a single piece of information.

Could it be... that Shuojin is still the Shuojin they know?

"Humph."

Shuojin smiled confidently.

“Thousands of years ago, you were a member of the Void Army and a capable lieutenant under the Commander of Destruction.”

"You have invaded countless planets, assisted the people of abundance in oppressing the good, and participated in the assassination plot of the star god Akivili, which has led to the Star Train's current predicament."

"Now, they want to point the finger at the immortal ship!"

"And I, Shuojin, will naturally not let someone as wicked as you go unpunished."

"Let's have another match. If you lose, admit your crimes and get off the Immortal Ship."

The audience listened in a daze, some still in shock.

He meant that... Luca was a spy for the Antimatter Legion, who not only invaded planets and tried to seize the Celestial Ship, but also assassinated the pioneer Akivili.

After only 2.5 seconds of silence, someone raised a question.

"I am a fictional historian, and I declare that this is history."

"Shuojin, do you think we're idiots? If he were that capable, would you still dare to challenge him?"

"I think those comments online before were all paid trolls you hired, right? Just to get him to withdraw from the competition and generate buzz for you!"

"They really treat people like idiots."

Shuojin ignored the voices from below the stage and stared intently at Luca.

"Luca, do you dare to challenge me?"

"..."

After only a moment's thought, Luca agreed:

"Alright, I accept your challenge."

The audience was in an uproar.

"Huh? Why! That's power armor!"

"I understand. Luca is determined to defeat Shuojin again and defend his honor!"

"Go! Teach this two-faced bastard a lesson!"

Jimi then ran back, hid behind Luca, and grabbed the microphone, saying:

"Can the champion, Shuojin, finally avenge his previous defeat? Wearing the company-provided power armor, will he be able to take down the rising star from Belloberg and use his unique martial arts to turn the tide?"

"let us wait and see!"

Chapter 995 Earned the Young Master?

"Is someone washing Luca?" some viewers noticed.

Yan Huan, who was carrying a basket of eggs, quickly stepped forward and stuffed an egg into his mouth.

"What were you talking about just now?"

The audience member who raised the question paused for two breaths, then spat out the egg and angrily said:

"Hmph, I knew this molten gold was no good!"

"Are there any more eggs? Give me a few more, I want to smash them to my heart's content!"

……

on the stage.

Shuojin donned power armor, controlling his massive form as he battled Luca.

At first, he had the upper hand, but the more he played, the more troublesome Luca became. Soon, the roles of attacker and defender were reversed.

Under Luca's relentless onslaught, the mech was paralyzed, and Shuojin had no choice but to retreat.

He slunk out of his power armor, his face full of panic.

"...Ugh, how is this possible?"

"The company's latest power armor shouldn't be inferior to your country bumpkin's primitive technology..."

After catching his breath, Shuojin suddenly looked up.

"No. This must be a conspiracy, no doubt about it! It's a conspiracy! It's a conspiracy within the company!"

"Dear viewers, Luca must have colluded with the company and used some underhanded means to defeat me like this!"

At this moment, the audience, who had all been brainwashed by Yan Huan, suddenly burst into laughter in anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you the one colluding with the company?"

As he spoke, he smashed a rotten egg on Shuojin's head.

Without the force field protection of the power armor, the eggshell shattered, and foul-smelling liquid gushed down from the golden head.

"Ugh!"

Shuojin was so disgusted that he couldn't help but gag.

Seeing that the rotten egg attack was finally effective, they launched another fierce and relentless attack.

The stage, which was originally covered with red cloth, was a mess, with eggshells and black, smelly egg liquid everywhere.

“Mr. Shuojin, it seems that this time, you are the one who will be ruined.” Luca stood calmly to the side with his arms crossed.

Jimi immediately announced:

"It seems the outcome of the competition is decided! The winner of this competition is none other than the much-anticipated superstar, the champion of Rockclimb Town—[Iron Arm] Luca!"

"Next."

Jimi slowly dragged a box out from under the stage and opened it.

"We will also be revealing a brand new product that Interstellar Peace Corporation will be launching at this press conference – the [Mamitu 17ProPlus Combat Exoskeleton]!"

"That's right, the one that Luca is wearing right now is the product we developed!"

"Luca, raise your victorious arm and show it to everyone!"

Upon hearing this, Luca silently removed the iron arm, revealing the metal prosthetic he was currently using.

"Wait... how did this turn into a press conference for my prosthetic leg?"

"Really?!" Shuojin, who had been scrambling around after being hit, wiped the eggshell off his head and shouted as he asked:

"Miss Topa? Topa! Where have you been?! How did this turn into his press conference? Isn't this my press conference?"

"Miss Topa, this isn't what we agreed on!"
