Chapter 343: Chapter 343: The Overbearing Immortal Tie Niu (Additional update with 50 monthly votes)
“It really is a small world.” Li Yao smiled as he sat down.
“Do you know this guy?” Unparalleled Enchantress asked.
Li Yao nodded and said, “Do you?”
“I’ve fought with him once. His elite profession looks flashy but ultimately useless. However, in reality, he is exceptionally strong. He almost took advantage of me. This guy is strong, lewd, and crafty; definitely not a friend to reckon with.”
Unparalleled Enchantress seemed a bit angry when she said this. It was evident that she still harbored some grudge towards that face-off.
“I’ve met him too. He talked sweet and flirted around. The last time he saw me, he bragged about his skills and wanted to help me level up. But when I was live streaming, he pretended to go offline.” Feng Yi covered her mouth and giggled, “Then later he logged back on and said it was his cousin messing around. It was pretty hilarious. I didn’t expect him to be so good, he’s won twenty-three rounds consecutively.”
“Tie Niu does seem lewd, but his strategies and awareness are on point. He’s capable as a competitive player. His elite profession is impressive too. It’s a pity that he is a part of a guild, which doesn’t seem to be reliable. Otherwise, I’d really hope to recruit him for the team. We could have gained another strong teammate.” Li Yao seemed a bit regretful when he said this.
According to his memory, Dragon Martial Monk was a rare elite profession that only a handful of players had obtained. The power of this profession was beyond doubt.
However, this elite profession required very specific attributes – the innate characteristics that were inherited. In other words, a unique qualification and physique.
Such players were rare. The Dragon Martial Monk was particularly dominant in the arena. Unfortunately, Tie Niu had never competed in tournaments, not even individual matches.
The other Dragon Martial Monks were significantly lacking in skills and awareness. Skills could be practiced, but not awareness. Given their great professions but underwhelming personal abilities, they could not get far in a crowd of strong players.
“I’ve signed up. I’m going to play with him,” Unparalleled Enchantress gritted her teeth and said.
“Suit yourself. But I don’t think it’ll be your turn. My match is coming up soon,” Li Yao made his judgment.
Sister Li said, “Since it’s so popular, you should queue up too. The one-hour deadline you mentioned isn’t far off now.”
Li Yao smiled, “Don’t worry about it. The current temporary rule in the arena is based on the performance against the Sand Dragon King. The higher you are rated by the system, the higher your priority will be in the queue for the main arena. Based on my Platinum medal, theoretically, I should be up for the next round as soon as I’m in the queue.”
“So that’s how it works,” Dazed Tong Ton nodded, “I’ve remembered all the tactics and skills big brother mentioned. I’ll try to earn a Gold medal too. It will make queuing easier.”
“Tong Tong, your skills are good, no doubt,” Li Yao nodded.
In less than ten minutes, Tie Niu had overcome two battles, making it twenty-five consecutive victories.
“Hahaha, is there anyone else?” Tie Niu laughed out loud.
Li Yao stood up and said loudly, “Old Niu, my time is almost up. Could you speed it up a bit?”
“Oh, it’s you, the freak. Come on; you want the arena? Come down and taste my new tricks.” Tie Niu’s eyes glinted when he saw Li Yao. He had learned new skills recently and believed his own skills had substantially improved through these competitions.
“You want to battle with me? Sure, I’ll be going up in 15 minutes. If you’re still there, we’ll compare our skills. I initially felt a little embarrassed for bullying you twice, but since you insist, I won’t be courteous anymore.”
“In a bit, I’ll deal with you,” Tie Niu raised his middle finger at Li Yao, then continued to prepare for his next opponent.
Tie Niu was still standing firm, taking down three more challengers in fifteen minutes.
“I guess I won’t have a chance to challenge him. I still need to wait for over ten matches. I think I should try the Sand Dragon King again.” Unparalleled Enchantress said regrettably.
“Prairie Fire, your time’s up. Why are you still not going up?”
“Exactly, are you trying to delay the time? It’s already been two minutes.”
“Are you guys pigs? He’s still battling, how could big brother take his turn,” Dazed Tong Ton retorted discontentedly.
“Tong Ton, let me tell you something.” Li Yao intentionally raised his voice, “Never bother to argue with mad dogs. Otherwise, you’ll only degrade yourself.”
“Oh, I see,” Dazed Tong Ton responded earnestly.
“Still denying the truth.”
“We’ll see how you dominate a hundred matches.”
“Exactly, he’s truly overestimating himself.”
Guardian Angel sneered, “You bunch is so bothersome. Don’t think that I don’t know. You only qualified to enter by utilizing Prairie Fire’s skills to defeat the Sand Dragon King. Yet after entering, all you do is bark. Just shut up. I’ve never seen such shameless people.”
Upon hearing Guardian Angel’s words, quite a few people’s faces turned red. It was a fact that their skills were not enough to defeat the Sand Dragon King. They had only made it by following Li Yao’s guide. Also, they were sent by their guild to harass Li Yao.
“Prairie Fire, your time’s up and I’m still here,” Tie Niu pointed at Li Yao, “Even though I’m very tired now, dealing with you should be enough.”
With Tie Niu’s words, the successive spectators all cheered for him and voiced their support one after another.
Li Yao, who had just signed up, was transported down, “I thought you were confident, but you mentioned being tired. Clearly, you’re just giving yourself an excuse to lose. You should quit if you can’t.”
“You’re kidding. Would I retreat? Everyone knows that I’m valiant. Look at those cheers for me, while the crowd is jeering you.”
Li Yao shook his head, “They’re all my enemies. Of course, they won’t praise me. This time, they’re all here for me. Well, do you need to rest? If not, let’s start.
“Let’s begin, let’s begin. Watch how my weary body crushes you.” Although Tie Niu’s strength had improved substantially, when he faced Li Yao, he felt a little nervous about his elusive archery.
“Alright then, you’re tired and I don’t want to take advantage of that. I won’t attack this match. I’ll let my pet battle with you. It’s fair that way, right?” Li Yao laughed.
“Freak, you underestimate me too much.” Just when everyone thought Tie Niu would be furious or refuse, he continued, “But, I am indeed tired today. So I’ll just play with your pet. When I kill your pet, don’t you deny your loss.”
“How could I? Hydra, accompany him,” Li Yao whistled, and the oppressive figure of Hydra appeared.
Tie Niu…
