Chapter 459: Chapter 459: The Three-Headed Snake
After all, Li Yao’s commentary tonight made a deep impression on them, and the number of contestants was overwhelming, with a multitude of strong players showing up instantly.
Except for those familiar with the players from their own administrative regions, players from other regions didn’t know much about them.
But Li Yao was different. He commentated each battle in in-depth detail, much to the audience’s satisfaction. They truly experienced the thrill of top player showdowns, which wasn’t the case before.
Even if they didn’t understand, the action looked impressive.
Now upon hearing Edward asking Li Yao to step up, they realized, “Oh, Li Yao is also competing”, and their anticipation surged.
“You take over from here.” Li Yao said to White.
“I will naturally do well in commentary.” White was frustrated. He believed that he should have been tonight’s star commentator and deserved the audience’s cheers.
All because of this guy, who’s not even a commentator, ended up stealing his spotlight.
But he didn’t realize that his skill level was high, but not enough to provide in-depth commentary on unfamiliar professions and equipment.
Li Yao got himself ready, focusing on his opponent, Borna, a top Hunter from the African administrative region.
“White, what’s your take on this battle?” Serena asked.
White coughed lightly, saying, “I favor Borna in this round.”
Oz continued, “I still think the King Hunter can win.”
“Seems you still remember our just made bet. Willing to continue?” Serena asked with a smile.
“The bet is on. We can’t go back on our words before so many viewers.” White, looking at Oz, said, “What do you think, Oz?”
“Of course.” Oz’s smile was sweet, but her voice was resolute, “No matter what you want to bet today, I’ll ride it out.”
“Such bravery. Since that’s the case, if the King Hunter loses to Borna, I will commentate in my underwear. If he wins, I won’t ask you to broadcast in a bikini, as it’ll be ungentlemanly of me. Instead, you’ll record a video of you in a T-shirt, taking off your bra and post it online, how’s that?” White laughed, “Originally, I didn’t want to make such a bet, but since Oz said she’s up for anything, I couldn’t not oblige.”
“White…” Serena’s face changed at his words, as the bet was crossing the line.
A spark of anger flashed in Oz’s eyes, and stopping Serena, who was attempting to mediate, Oz said, “Alright, even though I’m a woman, I stand by my words, I accept your wager.”
“Good, it’s a deal.” White said coldly.
With the commentators’ dialogue, the entire arena was ablaze. This gamble was too outrageous.
Many women scorned his act, yet many men were eager. After all, Oz was a famous beauty, and if there really was such a video, my my.
“Prairie Fire, you can’t lose.” Oz said.
Li Yao waved his hand, saying, “I haven’t lost yet, but don’t play like this next time, I might lose.”
Borna was immediately displeased, saying, “They say the King Hunter is incredibly arrogant, today I see that it’s true. He simply doesn’t take everyone else seriously.”
“Wrong, I simply take no notice of you. You have to be careful with your words. Even though you asked for it, there’s no need to involve others.” Li Yao shrugged.
Borna said, “You’re too arrogant. You have to understand, just because you’re known as the King Hunter, it doesn’t mean you’re the strongest among the hunters. I’ve been looking forward to a match with you, it’s a wish come true.”
Li Yao waved his hand, saying, “I never thought I was the strongest, but I’m at least stronger than you. There’s always someone better, but not you. The one who’s arrogant should be you. You’ve boasted about your skills while looking down on me. Can you swear you have not learned from my techniques posted online?”
Borna froze for a moment, then said, “Ridiculous, are you suggesting that your tutorials were unique creations, unattainable by others? You’re overestimating yourself and underestimating others.”
“You changed the subject, nevermind, I can’t be bothered arguing with you. Let’s start, there are still a dozen people I have to deal with after you.” Li Yao initiated the duel.
Borna accepted it and said proudly, “Don’t think you’re the only one who has had special encounters.”
Li Yao didn’t bother with him, just closed his eyes, signaling his disdain, fuming Borna.
“The King Hunter is indeed the most arrogant. Ha, does he think everyone wants to learn his so-called unique techniques?” White said, “You’ve all seen the previous matches. This octopus Pokémon is too strong, as powerful as his Hydra. I can’t see how the so-called King Hunter could win. King Hunter, what a grand title.”
“You’re not suited to be a commentator anymore.” Oz ignored White after speaking her piece.
On the field, everyone started paying attention to this battle. After Borna’s powerful showdowns, even top-level elites were no match for him, and he won each round effortlessly.
With only a few seconds left in the countdown, Li Yao opened his eyes and said, “I’ll just stand here unmoved, and take you down.”
“You are too arrogant.” Borna’s eyes were filled with fury; it was a complete insult to his dignity.
He wanted to say that he would also stand still and fight against Li Yao, but when he thought of the videos he had watched of Li Yao, he lost all his confidence. He could only win primarily through his leader-level Octopus, not his personal skills, despite his arrogant claims.
3-2-1…
As the countdown ended, Borna ordered his octopus Pokémon to charge at Li Yao. Li Yao then blew a whistle, and the Hydra stood by his side.
The moment they saw the Hydra, everyone gasped.
The Hydra has greatly changed from before. Its three-headed form was even larger now, and its scales reflected various lights. You could tell at a glance that the Hydra was extraordinarily strong.
“Advanced Leader, Hydra.”
Several capable of appraisal-grade Player exclaimed, stunning everyone. An advanced leader! At this stage, capturing a Silver British Pet was considered skillful, owning a Boss Pet made one dominant. But the Hydra was now an Advanced Leader.
“I was wondering who was being so disrespectful to my master, turns out it was just a small octopus. Since when was it your turn to show off in the place of the Hydra?” The Ice Snake said coldly.
“I hoped my first fight would be a bit of a challenge, didn’t expect it to be against this little thing, so boring.” The Poison Snake looked disappointed.
“Master, this opponent is a real joke. The octopus on dry land is like a retard. Let me catch and roast it.” The Dark Snake suggested.
The originally aggressive Octopus leader was now as though it had encountered its natural enemy… completely stripping it of its earlier dominance…
