Chapter 466: Chapter 466: End of the Rotation Battle
Li Yao laughed bitterly, “Bro, we’re supposed to be delving into a new instance. Why bother explaining this? Let’s just move on to the next round.”
Hai Kuo Tian Kong continued, “Brother, how much time do you think an explanation would take?”
“Big bro, you should just tell us. I also want to know what’s going on. How did you detect that thief? They’re so annoying out in the wild. I want to learn too.” Dumby Dumby tilted her head and continued, “Of course, if it’s a secret technique of yours, don’t tell everyone. Just tell us, and forget the rest.”
“If it’s really your secret, don’t share it,” Hai Kuo Tian Kong said.
Li Yao laughed bitterly, “Secret or not, since you all want to know, I’ll just tell you. Still, it probably won’t be of much use to you.”
“As long as it’s not a secret, just share it. It’s not like we don’t have time.” Xiao Ze said, “Lionheart has always been modest and doesn’t keep secrets. There must be another useful technique he’s about to reveal.”
“Alright, stop flattering me. I’ve already said I’d tell you.” Li Yao pointed to where Laurent originally stood and said, “I actually discovered him because he slipped up.”
Laurent was startled, his face changed, “Impossible, I was certain I didn’t make a sound. There’s no chance I would have.”
Li Yao shook his head, saying, “It wasn’t a sound.”
Laurent was taken aback and asked, “If it wasn’t a sound, then what was it?”
Li Yao patiently said, “The environment.”
“That’s even more unlikely. I was extremely careful not to disturb the foliage, plus the wind is blowing strongly now, creating chaotic airflows. How could I have slipped up?” Laurent retorted.
“You have to understand, all the so-called stealth is simply blending in with the environment, seeming invisible, but not truly transparent. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Li Yao joked, “If you still don’t get it, your thief skills will probably just remain at the current level.”
“What do you mean?” Laurent’s face changed, “You mean, you discovered my slip through observation?”
Li Yao said, “Of course, there’s video of today. You can take your time to study and compare. There’s also another slip up — you standing still. Anyway, I’ve said all that needs to be said. If you understand, you do; if you don’t, my further explanation won’t help. If you’re a thief, you should study this. Otherwise, ordinary players shouldn’t waste their time.”
Many were left baffled after his explanation. After Li Yao’s extended description, they still didn’t understand.
However, many skilled thieves seemed to have an epiphany, though they were still confused.
“Like I said, explanation is futile; if you don’t get it, then you just don’t.” Li Yao pointed to the Devil Alliance’s side, “Next round, hurry up.”
The Devil Alliance was incredibly frustrated. Their morale was soaring just moments ago, convinced they’d win the duel.
After all, there were only five opponents remaining by then. In their eyes, even if Prairie Fire was up next, he’d still get crushed. Prairie Fire is tough, but how far can they go?
But here’s the reality: none of their players, who could even defeat top-tier fighters, were qualified to duke it out directly with Li Yao. All were mostly killed in seconds, cluelessly. Their frustration reached a boiling point.
After several rounds, the initially high morale was depleted and dipped to a low ebb— the latest round was particularly depressing, leading to fill them with a sense of despair and inertia.
“Morren, you’re up next,” said Romeo.
Morren was bitter; he had also eagerly anticipated competing with Li Yao to gain fame. But now all he anticipated was a beating.
However, he had to proceed once Romeo named him. Otherwise, he’d look like a coward; that’s unacceptable.
So, with a grimace, he stepped forward, launched a deathmatch challenge to Li Yao.
Li Yao accepted the challenge, and their fight immediately kicked off.
Morren was a Mage who could Blink indefinitely thanks to his Magic Wand.
Right at the start of their match, Morren commenced a frenzied series of Blinks, his body flitting here and there unpredictably.
And he began launching spells, repeatedly assailing Li Yao. His attack range was quite long, allowing him to commence the assault on Li Yao from a distance greater than the reach of the multi-headed serpent, Floating Snow.
Because he was an Ice Mage, the Ice Serpent never turned away ice spells; it bit at them intently. Regardless of how he attacked, he couldn’t harm a hair on Li Yao’s head.
Many once again realized the terror of the multi-headed serpent— a head always passively immune to a specific spell, with an exceptionally high resistance. Morren’s spells were hardly causing any damage on the serpent.
A glimmer of hope appeared on the faces of numerous Devil Alliance players. They thought Li Yao was unable to track the Mage and didn’t dare to shoot aimlessly because of the Blue Moon Bow.
Many other players thought so too. As time passed, they began to reveal their disappointment, thinking that Li Yao’s Achilles’ heel had been unearthed.
“I gave you twenty seconds to kill me, but all you did was Blink and launch such feeble attacks. Seems like your skills hadn’t improved much. It’s time to end this.”
Li Yao announced it while launching a four-stage Charged Arrow. The Mage had just Blinked out, and the arrow immediately followed, plunging into his throat.
The Mage’s eyes were filled with disbelief. This time the replay wasn’t necessary, many saw it clearly. It was as if the Mage himself crashed into the arrow.
Because if the Mage hadn’t Blinked, the arrow wouldn’t have hit him either.
Now, no one would question anymore if Li Yao’s previous hit on Laurent was luck-based, as this situation was identical to the previous one.
Li Yao pointed in the direction of the Devil Alliance, “Next round.”
The Devil Alliance kept sending challengers, but only a few genuinely wanted to face Li Yao.
Facing this kind of freak, they felt powerless; it was too suffocating.
At least against top-tier fighters, they could exchange blows and cause damage, but till now, Li Yao hasn’t lost a drop of blood, which was demoralizing.
“Without any hope of winning, is there any point in fighting?” A player remarked before heading into battle.
Romeo said, “We at the Devil Alliance may lose games, but we won’t lose spirit; we need to fight to the end, regardless of the outcome.”
Continuing to lose incited no fine words, but everyone knew that the Devil Alliance was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
In this live broadcast to so many people, if they didn’t continue, they’d become the laughing stock. Even if they scored the first kill this time, it would be meaningless…
