Resurrection Empire

At this very moment, at least tens of millions of people worldwide are watching the live broadcast.

Xiao Xingyue, a well-known chief reporter from Source Star TV, is responsible for the outdoor commentary of this broadcast.

Dressed in a white casual outfit, Xiao Xingyue stands on the lookout tower of the high wall in Starfire Town.

In the camera, in the distant wilderness behind Xiao Xingyue, Ren Zhong and the Cold-blooded Butcher are confronting each other from afar.

"Hello, viewers, I am Xiao Xingyue. Welcome to the live broadcast on Channel One of the Professionals Channel, where I will provide live commentary on this focused duel. The two sides are…"

"More than half a month ago, Second Level Citizen Ren Zhong made a bold statement, saying he would participate in the Starfire Town Pu Cha and battle the Cold-blooded Butcher, who had already been confirmed to serve as the Combat Power Assessment Officer."

"After analysis by psychology experts, it was believed that successive successes in a short period made him lose himself, resulting in a delusion of omnipotence. At that time, I and my colleagues thought Ren Zhong was just joking, but later he indeed completed the hunt for the Descending Demon Baby unscathed."

"After the hunt, I interviewed him for the first time. When exchanging views with me, other colleagues still thought his challenge to the Butcher was just a joke, but I held a different opinion."

"As I expected, he really appeared in the Pu Cha today. As for the outcome, I will not comment, let's wait and see. Oh, it's starting!"

As Xiao Xingyue was introducing, Ren Zhong and the Cold-blooded Butcher had already started moving, lunging forward and battling fiercely.

In the last duel, Ren Zhong used a large number of tracking missiles and medium-range shotguns in an attempt to suppress his opponent with fierce firepower and close the gap between them.

Later facts proved that these flashy things were useless.

The Butcher's mobility was too high, and his sense of crisis was too strong. Such weapons were meaningless; those that could hurt him couldn't hit, and those that could hit only tickled him.

This time, Ren Zhong learned his lesson and changed his strategy during his preparation.

He carried almost no live ammunition but instead enhanced the performance of beam weapons to the extreme of Fifth Level equipment.

He wanted stronger, but spending more money was not a problem; however, the market could only offer parts of this standard.

The truly hardcore items were in the lab of Source Star Military Industry, or directly in the army, not for sale, and not available on the black market.

Even if he could get more extreme items, he couldn't complete the coordination with the exoskeleton suit, with a high risk of self-detonation, similar to using a death potion.

However, his adjustments were extremely effective.

The reduced ammunition load significantly lightened his armor weight, greatly enhancing his mobility. Although still unable to match the Butcher, the gap visibly shrank significantly.

Additionally, Ren Zhong filled the empty ammo slots with reactor batteries.

In the previous timeline, the fundamental reason he had to use frenzy potions and stimulants was that the armor's energy was running out, and dragging on held no hope for victory, forcing him to risk it all.

This time, Ren Zhong increased his energy reserves by three times.

Energy was no longer his shortcoming affecting his sustained combat capabilities.

Thanks to experience from the last encounter and a large amount of targeted training, Ren Zhong had the upper hand in the initial engagement.

Especially the Corrosive Blade, one of his Double Sabers, posed a significant threat to the stability of the fusion gene in the Armored Soldier, causing great caution from the Cold-blooded Butcher. In the initial confrontation, the Butcher dared only use his mobility advantage to keep his distance, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The Butcher abandoned his usual arrogant and wild combat style and unexpectedly used a rope-like weapon, swinging it from a distance, only using the ball tip to strike at Ren Zhong.

But Ren Zhong's defense was impenetrable, and his automatic tracking system firmly locked onto the Butcher's eyes. The energy weapons distributed around his body continuously "shone" on the Butcher's eyes, causing significant trouble for the opponent.

This back-and-forth exchange made it seem on the surface as if Ren Zhong had the higher professional level.

This continued until a full hour later when the situation slightly changed.

The material strength of Ren Zhong's Corrosive Blade was inferior to the Butcher's long rope and finally got shredded, forcing him to pull out his backup weapon, the Ice Flame Giant Blade.

Seizing the moment when Ren Zhong was switching weapons, the Butcher took the opportunity to attack, pursuing and launching a dizzying series of continuous strikes, all landing on Ren Zhong.
