Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Illusion God
“Illusion God.”
Seeing the man who stood up, everyone let out a gasp.
“I didn’t expect Illusion God to make a move at this time.”
“It’s really unbelievable, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen Illusion God in action.”
“Illusion God, he hasn’t really been active since his retirement, and I didn’t expect him to make a move now.”
“He has already retired. Who could have persuaded him to make a move? I am overly curious because I am an avid fan of Illusion God, hoping someone with inside info can enlighten us.”
“I think he saw Prairie Fire’s skill and wanted to challenge him.”
“Are you kidding? Given Illusion God’s character, even if he wanted to challenge someone, it would definitely be done in private. He wouldn’t do this publicly. Furthermore, it is clear that these major guilds want to give Prairie Fire a hard time. He didn’t like causing trouble even before he retired, let alone now after retiring. He’s been away from the competitive esports world for a long time.”
“Then why is he doing this?”
“Don’t think too hard, Illusion God owed a favor to his old club, now he is just repaying it.”
“Ah, damn these big guilds, even though I also enjoy seeing Illusion God in action, I don’t want to see it happening under these circumstances.”
“Illusion God, I hope you don’t become sworn enemies with Prairie Fire.”
“Prairie Fire has truly met a formidable opponent this time around. A god-level player like this, even if his spiritual power isn’t as strong as Prairie Fire’s, his skill alone should be enough to compete against Prairie Fire, right?”
“I hope so. Although I don’t want to see Illusion God appearing in this way, I am looking forward to this match.”
Compared to the complex emotions of the regular players, the people from the major guilds were cheering enthusiastically, as Illusion God is one of the esports legends who influenced a generation.
Years ago, the Chinese competitive scene was in an unprecedented slump.
It was a handful of god-level players from different clubs who led the struggling and embarrassed esports scene back to world-class status.
At that time, the Chinese esports system was collapsing. If it weren’t for the hard work of these individuals, the Chinese esports scene would have been extremely chaotic in this tough environment.
They didn’t have much income, but they still persisted.
Eventually, they brought a brief period of glory to Chinese esports. But due to contractual issues back then, even though this group of players had many fans, they didn’t receive the treatment they deserved.
A few years ago, when Chinese esports started to get back on track, they resolutely paid a hefty contract break fee and announced their retirements one after another.
And Illusion God was one of the leaders among them. His peak-level operation and god-like mentality could enter the rankings of the world’s top players.
Illusion God, one of the founding members of the Proud Sun team.
The current Proud Sun team and guild are even more superior than the Prosperous Era. They are a super-guild, and their lineups are still made up of seed players in world-class esports competitions.
Back then, Illusion God, with his godly consciousness and operation, rose from a small game addict to a world-class player who could lead a team to the world stage.
“Why would Illusion God make a move now?” asked a player from a major guild area.
“Originally, he was scheduled to go last, but Illusion God insisted on not agreeing, he even wanted to go first.”
“First? Why?”
“Because he sees Prairie Fire as an opponent, so he wants a fair fight with Prairie Fire.”
“Is Prairie Fire really that strong, even Illusion God values him so much?”
“If Prairie Fire wasn’t so monstrous, would our club use Illusion God’s favor for such an opportunity?”
Everyone remained silent. At certain times, Illusion God’s favor could be extremely precious. In the esports circle, even though they have been quiet for a long time, their influence is still enormous.
“Illusion God must win.”
The entire spectator stand was filled with coordinated cheers, and it started in waves, and then the entire competition venue started to bubble up, as if the sky was about to completely collapse.
The elders of the Starfire Guild were looking very grim.
“What should we do?” Dumpling was dumbfounded and asked, “Can big brother be an opponent to Illusion God?”
Dumpling has always believed in Li Yao’s strength. Anything Li Yao said he could accomplish, she always responded without hesitation, always the first to jump into action.
However, Dumpling looked very conflicted this time. On one hand, she was looking forward to this roaring match. On the other, she was worried that Li Yao would lose the match.
“Illusion God has been retired for many years now and has kept a low profile. His skills must have deteriorated, right?” Guardian Angel asked uncertainly.
Lisa’s brows furrowed. “I really don’t know what the outcome will be right now. I really can’t understand why these people hold such a strong grudge toward Li, to the point that they even invited Illusion God out. They are really scheming diligently, and the price is hefty enough.”
Unparalleled Seductress, who had been silent, said, “I do know Illusion God’s wife. From what I understand, although Illusion God doesn’t participate in esports anymore, he never gave up his love for the game and still maintains the training regimen from his professional playing days.”
The worried crowd gasped. This news was really shocking.
The training regimen for professional players is multi-faceted. In this day and age, professional players mainly exercise and maintain the vitality of their bodies. Secondly, they train their spiritual power, which, although very painful. Then they read a large amount of various information every day to maintain knowledge reserves.
It can be said that the hardship of esports players is not weaker than that of traditional athletes.
Most professional players give up this painful training after retirement, but Illusion God still insists on it, which is simply terrifying.
“And his current strength?” Fruit Knight couldn’t help but ask.
Unparalleled Seductress sighed and said, “Strong, very strong, at least in ten rounds of a duel, he can beat me seven times.”
The crowd worriedly turned their gaze back to Li Yao, who had lost his smile and became serious.
Now, Li Yao’s match not only impacts whether he fails his personal mission, but is also related to the development and stability of the Starfire Guild.
They are all too aware of Unparalleled Seductress’s strength. Unparalleled Seductress is also a powerful player who has climbed onto the world top players’ list.
When the elders duel with her, they mostly lose. Now, Unparalleled Seductress can only achieve a thirty percent win rate against Illusion God. How horrifying is this?
“Actually, you guys don’t need to worry too much. As far as I know, Prairie Fire’s spiritual power is much stronger than Illusion God’s, and as for technique, Prairie Fire is also hard to pin down. I would say it’s fifty-fifty against Illusion God.”
“Fifty-fifty?” Feng Yi sighed. She looked worriedly at the two who were about to start.
Illusion God looked at Li Yao, his eyes filled with a mixture of emotions. He sighed and said, “I was really looking forward to our duel, but now I really don’t want to fight you here. Never mind, you won’t understand.”
However, Li Yao replied in a slightly serious tone, “I get it. You are very strong and you used to be my idol, but you really are no match for me now.”
The arena was in an uproar…
ps: I’m so tired today that I’m about to pee my pants. Struggling to type words in the hotel while I’m sleepy and weary.
