Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Master
The entire arena echoed with Li Yao’s arrogantly confident voice, and those who had come to trouble Li Yao suddenly couldn’t help feeling extremely low.
This is too outrageous, it truly was arrogance pushed to its limits.
“What’s so great about that, I’ll challenge you.” A player stood up, having already registered.
Because they wanted to challenge Li Yao, everyone in the queue cancelled their spot when Li Yao entered the stage.
Many casual players saw that things were not that simple, and most of them did not want to get involved in the grudge between Li Yao and various guilds.
Mainly the casual players were sensible, especially those who were able to kill the Sand Dragon King before watching Li Yao’s strategy video, they would never act as cannon fodder for those guilds.
There were plenty of opportunities to compete in the main arena, there was no need to rush at this time.
More importantly, although Li Yao was not exactly famous among ordinary players, at most they knew of such a player’s existence. As for whether he is powerful or not, they just heard rumors and most of them did not believe or take them seriously.
But Li Yao was very famous among the top players. They all have studied Li Yao’s skills to some extent, absorbing the essence from them.
Especially his specialty in breaking attacks and positioning tactics, these universally applied techniques combined with his stunning operations, no one dared to underestimate him as an opponent.
Not to mention anything else, in the current era when capturing an elite silver creature is already seen as signs of a great hunter, having a hydra, which is a medium-level boss, as a pet is simply terrifying to the extreme.
Seeing the performance of the hydra, they all knew that Li Yao was already a top player among the top players just based on this pet, let alone that Li Yao’s own strength is even stronger.
Because there was only one person in the queue, this player was quickly transferred to the main arena.
Looking at his equipment, it was a Mage Robe, clearly a remote Mage.
“Prairie Fire, you’re too arrogant, don’t think you can boast just because you have a medium-level boss pet,” said the Undead Necromancer in a cold voice: “Remember my ID, Law Dominates the World, this name will be your nightmare.”
Li Yao cupped his ear, blew a light breath, and said in a light tone: “Sorry, my memory is not good. I really can’t remember random names like cats and dogs.”
“Prairie Fire, you’re too arrogant.” Law Dominates the World was irate, his face flushed with embarrassment from being humiliated in front of so many people.
While those who came to trouble Li Yao held in their laughter, many idle top players who were unconcerned with the major guilds, directly laughed out loud, making Law Dominates the World blush all the way to his neck.
Li Yao hit confirm, saying: “Whether I am arrogant or not, you will know soon. Is it just because you have some special ability, I’m too lazy to guess your little scheme. If you can hold on for a minute under me, I will remember your name, otherwise it’s really a waste of my brain cells.”
“Damn you.” Law Dominates the World was furious, and as soon as the countdown ended after clicking confirm, he began to Blink.
His Blink was similar to Tie Niu’s Hidden Dragon Flash, also a chain Blink profession.
Of course, chain Blink means that Blink can be used continuously in a short time after being cast, not that Blink no longer has a cooling time.
His target was clear, it was Li Yao at the edge of the arena.
“A minor bug like you wants to attack my master, you are dreaming.” The Ice Snake started to strafe a lot of snowflakes around its body as it spoke.
“Hmph, this trick is of no use to me, my frost resistance is already intermediate.”
Law Dominates the World revealed a smirk, not avoiding those snowflakes, he directly Blinked through the snowflakes. The players noticed that he didn’t get covered in frost like other players would when entering Floating Snow’s range. It was just some snowflakes falling on his mage robe, but in reality it didn’t affect him much.
Law Dominates the World was still blinking quickly. The hydra’s two attacks were easily dodged by him. He was truly formidable. The hydra’s bite attack was of no use against his elusive blinking and could not cause any damage.
“There’s still me.” A glint flared in the eyes of the Dark Snake.
Mental Control!
“I was just waiting for you to use this move.” Law Dominates the World instantly turned into a block of ice.
Under everyone’s gaze, he did not move and remained an ice block. Obviously, he was not affected by Mental Control.
A round of cheers and whistles rang out from the arena, this was undoubtedly a powerful predictive operation.
Using the invincibility of the Ice Barrier to resist Mental Control required superb control of timing.
This was a seemingly simple operation, but in essence, it was impressively back to basics.
Everyone knows that the Ice Barrier is invincible.
But to cast it well is not easy, especially since they all know that the hydra is highly intelligent.
If the Ice Barrier is casted earlier, the hydra naturally would not cast Mental Control. If it’s casted later, then Law Dominates the World would have been controlled and could not break the skills at all.
If he was controlled, then the outcome would be the same: like Tie Niu, to be instantly killed by the two heads of the hydra.
To break this move, one could only predict, it is precisely when the hydra casts Mental Control, that the Ice Barrier is released. Only with timing this precise can he avoid being affected.
All the master-level players present understood once they thought about it, Law Dominates the World may seem reckless but he was really treacherously cunning.
He deliberately provoked Li Yao just to let down Li Yao’s guard, and what happened afterwards was all within his plan.
Using intermediate frost resistance to ignore Floating Snow, and him getting closer to Li Yao, Dark Snake naturally would release Mental Control, thus predicting this was relatively simple.
To design such a situation, everyone had to admire Law Dominates the World’s clever use of his intelligence.
As for calculating others, using dirty tricks and similar thoughts, no one considered it that way.
All the experts agreed on one principle, clever tactics were just as important as skills. Sometimes, when equal in power, why one side won was because they had a superior strategy and tactics.
In their eyes, clever tactics were also part of one’s strength. If you can’t compete with others and get killed, don’t say things like I have better equipment, higher skills, I momentarily lapsed, I will surely strike back next time, etc. Getting killed is getting killed, no matter what the reasons may be, they can’t cover up the fact of being killed.
There was a wave of cheering from the arena, even those who came to watch the game cheered.
Ice Blast!
As soon as Law Dominates the World canceled the ice box, the Ice Snake launched an Ice Blast.
-356
“Haha, you can’t hurt me that much, and this trick will not make me lose much blood either.” Law Dominates the World laughed loudly as he again closed the distance with Li Yao.
“Damn ice resistance.” The Ice Snake spat out an Ice Breath.
However, Law Dominates the World’s Blink was erratic, seemingly disorderly, but Ice Snake’s Ice Breath missed once again and did not hit him…
