Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Moving Towards Legend
Everyone’s mind was blank. No one had expected that the fierce battle they had just witnessed would be over in an instant.
More importantly, they could never imagine the outcome.
“It’s not over yet, they might both be eliminated.” the commentator exclaimed excitedly, “Look at those two arrows.”
Everyone’s attention snapped back in time to see the life force of Illusion God drained, and his summoned creatures showing signs of intense turmoil, filled with confusion and resistance against inevitability.
Meanwhile, two of Li Yao’s arrows hit the ground, causing a ringing sound due to their ricocheting nature.
The arrows bounced up abruptly. Everyone prayed that the two arrows would miss their target.
If the two arrows missed, Li Yao would be recoiled by the Blue Moon Bow, which would result in a draw if both competitors were eliminated.
They would prefer it to be a draw rather than accept the defeat of their idol in their hearts.
However, after bouncing, the two arrows embedded themselves in two skeletons, and shortly after, all the summoned creatures called forth by the Illusion God vanished.
In just a blink of an eye, everyone had once again experienced a roller-coaster of emotions.
“Such good luck, Prairie Fire has.” That was the thought that most people had.
However, only the master players who looked at Li Yao, who remained calm, suddenly realized, Prairie Fire was not Illusion God’s match. He even calculated the two missed arrows too clearly.
The audience in the arena and those watching the live broadcast were still in shock, an eerie silence descended upon the arena.
“Emerging talents keep coming to the forefront. It appears that our Chinese gaming circle no longer needs us.” The resurrected Illusion God said with mixed feelings.
Illusion God…” His friend wanted to comfort him, but he didn’t know where to begin.
You don’t need to say anything, I understand.” Illusion God started using his Hearthstone, “this time, I concede without any reservations.”
“Sigh!” Countless people sighed in response to his words, as though it symbolized the end of an era.
“I’ll start training as soon as I get back. Prairie Fire, even though I won’t be competing anymore, don’t let your guard down, wait for me. I’ll improve and defeat you.” The Illusion God disappeared from where he stood without waiting for Li Yao’s response.
“You’re always welcome. As I’ve said, I’m eager to experience defeat,” Li Yao spoke lightly.
Li Yao had always been saying this, but back then everyone thought he was being arrogant and ignorant.
However, after a fair match with Illusion God, Li Yao’s victory with overwhelming power left many people without the ability to retort, even though they did not like Li Yao much.
There was no doubt about the strength of Illusion God, but the fact that Li Yao was able to turn the tides in a short amount of time and kill him while Illusion God had the upper hand was very startling.
They once thought Li Yao was strong, but for most people, Li Yao was just an ordinary master.
Even if he had killed many, any master could easily take down ordinary players.
Thus, many people believed that Li Yao was strong, but only on par with them at most. They thought that Li Yao’s previous opponents were just too weak.
But only through comparison can one distinguish the strong from the weak. After the battle with Illusion God, Li Yao was finally recognized by many as a top-notch master, rather than the type who simply copied Li Yao’s techniques and criticized him constantly.
Li Yao remained as calm as before, there was no trace of exhilaration in his victory over Illusion God. It was as though it was just an ordinary challenge with no special significance to him.
However, in reality, this battle will undoubtedly be remembered by the Chinese competitive circle. This battle has changed so much.
All the guilds that wanted to deal with Li Yao were furious, and the other guild players also had complex expressions. Even though Li Yao has not entered the professional path yet, many people seemed to see the rise of another Illusion God.
And this is a wild and ferocious beast, brutal and strong.
“What, have you lost your fighting spirit? That’s boring.” Li Yao sighed, “This match was slightly interesting, bring me another one on the same level as Illusion God, I’m not satisfied yet.”
They almost spat out their drinks, such arrogance! But after witnessing his victory over Illusion God, although they were resentful, they had no way of refuting him.
After a while, a player finally stood up, speaking in a somewhat helpless tone, “I’ll challenge you.”
The fight with Illusion God had completely deflated the spirit of those present who had wanted to challenge Li Yao.
Despite that, Li Yao carried on his winning streak. Despite multiple attacks from Multi-headed Serpent, Arrow Tower, Mechanical Sheep, and other combo skills, no opponent had been able to stop Li Yao.
The spectators had also become listless; it seemed like a given that Li Yao would win. The commentators quickly changed their stance and started explaining Li Yao’s brilliant maneuvers very seriously.
Because Li Yao had defeated Illusion God, many high-level players who had initially been watching just for fun started studying Li Yao seriously.
They used to chat and joke around while watching, but now their faces were solemn and thoughtful. In the arena, Li Yao was oblivious to the fact that after today, he would be recognized as one of the top masters in China by many players.
Compared to others, those who were the most shocked were the elders of the Spark Guild.
“Oh my God, I must be dreaming.” Guardian Angel was the first to regain her senses.
“Big brother can actually defeat Illusion God.” Sweet Dumbbells gasped with her mouth wide open in shock.
“Where the hell did this monster come from?” Unparalleled Enchantress flashed a peculiar gleam in her eyes. “Feng Yi, your boyfriend is so strong, how could you keep this from me? That’s not kind.”
Qin Feng Yi chuckled bitterly, her face still a picture of shock. She hadn’t expected Li Yao to change this much in just a year.
“In any case, this is good news. After today, although our Spark Guild will face attacks from all guilds, we won’t have to worry about attracting strong recruits.” Sister Li took a deep breath, “Don’t disturb me, I need to prepare a new recruitment notice.”
“I knew he was strong, but I didn’t expect him to be this strong. The formation of the Spark Team is definitely not a dream.” Fruit Knight was also overjoyed.
Sister Li thought about it instantly, many people would surely join because of their admiration for Li Yao, so raising the standards was inevitable.
“Perhaps the Spark Guild will fulfill the dream that I didn’t.” Unparalleled Enchantress stared intensely at Li Yao, who was winning one duel after another, as if making some sort of determination.
Li Yao continued to win victoriously, and as his winning streak slowly approached one hundred, those guild players who wanted to sabotage Li Yao’s mission became increasingly frustrated and restless.
If Li Yao completed a hundred consecutive victories, he would undoubtedly become a legend that night, and they would just be a bunch of clowns that no one remembered.
Li Yao, on the other hand, seemed a bit preoccupied, not because he was tired, but because he was contemplating an important issue: what mount he should choose.
PS: The day after tomorrow, I will start my return trip and will have time to write the book again.
Continuing to work for the monthly ticket, thank you to all the supportive friends…
