The Seventh Base Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Chapter 52: Devil Training

Chuanxing City, countless citizens were glued to their screens, awaiting the announcement from Mayor Liu Feng of Chuanxing City.

Not only the citizens of Chuanxing City but also numerous alien races from Lancelot Star and Byron Star were paying close attention, curious as to how Chuanxing City would handle the situation.

In Chuanxing City, perhaps no one other than Xu Mo could generate such fervor now.

They all realized that the announcement to be made by Mayor Liu Feng might well concern the fate of Xu Mo.

If it was to appease the fury of the Lancelot Star People by sacrificing Xu Mo, they would never agree to it.

Amidst the anticipation of countless people, Mayor Liu Feng of Chuanxing City appeared on the screen.

Wearing glasses, dressed formally, his sharp features betrayed no emotion, and no one knew what he was thinking. The people of Chuanxing City always thought their mayor very shrewd, facing calls for his resignation daily without a change in expression, pleasing the alien races without a hint of shame.

They were indeed eager to see what decision he had made this time, hoping it wouldn't be one they did not wish to hear.

Mayor Liu Feng looked up ahead; countless media outlets were focused on him, including media from Byron Star as well as alien media.

“In light of a controversial incident that occurred during the Transcendent Competition, where Xu Mo killed Lancelot Star Robut during the top four battle,” Mayor Liu Feng began, “according to the investigation of Chuanxing City Government, Xu Mo did not violate the rules of the Transcendent Competition and killed his opponent within the permissible constraints of the rules.”

As Mayor Liu Feng spoke, the expressions of the people relaxed a bit. It seemed their mayor did indeed know where to draw the line.

“However…” Just then, Mayor Liu Feng continued, causing everyone in front of the screen to tense up again.

“The incident of Xu Mo killing Robut has still caused a negative impact, and I can understand the anger of Lancelot Star.” Mayor Liu Feng hadn't finished speaking, and the people of Chuanxing City were already enraged, hurling insults like mad.

This bastard…

“However, Mr. Amanda from Lancelot Star, who led the attack on the hospital and committed murder, has violated the laws of Byron Star.” Mayor Liu Feng shifted his tone again and went on, “Given these conflicts, Xu Mo has made a decision. He will, in his capacity as a member of the Divine Sword Bureau of Byron Star, officially challenge Mr. Amanda of the Star Lord Knight Order of Lancelot Star to a duel to the death to conclude this vendetta, scheduled three months from now, with the means of duel to be determined by Mr. Amanda. Xu Mo hopes that Mr. Amanda, a member of the Star Lord Knight Order of Lancelot Star, will not tarnish the noble status of a Star Lord Knight.”

Upon these words, Chuanxing City erupted into turmoil.

The statement from Mayor Liu Feng was indeed bombshell news.

Xu Mo had joined the strongest Extraordinary Agency of Byron Star, the Divine Sword Bureau.

Indeed, his talent had been recognized by the Divine Sword Bureau, and he had been recruited.

Secondly, Xu Mo was actually challenging Amanda to an open duel!

According to the available information, Amanda's Source Power Level was A Minus, while Xu Mo's was only at Level B. There was a great disparity between them. Even though Xu Mo had exceptional talent and his Combat Power was extraordinary, as he had proven in the Transcendent Competition and by killing Robut.

But Amanda was at A Minus, and such a gap was impossible to overcome. Xu Mo challenging Amanda under these circumstances was sheer madness.

Xu Mo, was he driven into a corner?

With this thought, the people's resentment towards Lancelot Star intensified, pushing Xu Mo to the point of initiating a duel.

Then, Mayor Liu Feng continued, “If Lancelot Star and Mr. Amanda refuse the request for a duel, then the matter shall be put to rest, and Chuanxing City will not respond further.”

With that, the image faded away.

Xu Mo, facing inferior levels, had issued a challenge to Amanda; what's more, he had done so publicly–Amanda had no reason to refuse, it was highly unlikely he would.

Unless, Amanda were to disregard his own dignity.

If Amanda rejected the duel while still demanding a person's life under such circumstances, it wouldn't just be embarrassing on Byron Star but also on Lancelot Star–his reputation would be at stake.

The status of a noble Knight of Lancelot Star would then become a joke.

Upon hearing Mayor Liu Feng's statement, people across various planets also took an interest. Xu Mo's decision undoubtedly seemed the most appropriate course of action; Byron Star would be relieved of pressure, and regardless of the outcome, the matter would be considered settled.

Of course, Xu Mo might very well pay with his life.

They also understood that Amanda was highly unlikely to refuse.

Upon learning of the news, Amanda only uttered two words, “Seeking death!”

Three months was somewhat long, but since he could decide the manner of the duel, the timeline proposed by Xu Mo wasn't unreasonable.

Soon, Lancelot Star responded, accepting Xu Mo's challenge to a duel.

The time would be as Xu Mo said, three months later.

As for the manner of the duel, since Amanda's Source Power Level was A Minus, he would use equipment of the A Minus level for the battle, and Xu Mo was permitted to do the same.

Amanda, having fought Xu Mo's Mecha before, knew that if he were to use higher class equipment, his Source Power Level advantage would be minimized to its weakest extent.

Therefore, he suggested the duel be conducted with equipment corresponding to his Source Power Level. Although this allowed Xu Mo to use the same level of equipment, it was within a controllable range.

The duel method proposed by Amanda was anticipated; it was the method most advantageous to him.

In reality, Amanda could have also suggested not to use any weapons or equipment which would have increased the risk for him significantly, considering that Lancelot Star People excel in Mechanical Body combat, and Amanda was well aware Xu Mo possessed Object Manipulation abilities.
