Chapter 666: Chapter 666: Scanning Eye
With the arrival of the designated time, all the completed teams were assigned to the platforms representing their respective rankings.
The most prominent and eye-catching position was on the square of the top hundred rankings, with stone columns lifting each team high above the ground.
No matter how far away from the first square, one could clearly see the first platform.
The top hundred teams attracted the most attention. Apart from Starfire, all the positions in the top hundred were taken by top-tier guilds and clubs.
As a guild only established during ancient god era, and having secured the first place in it, Starfire had undoubtedly become the center of attention.
Countless eyes filled with various emotions were directed at Li Yao and his team. Although Li Yao was somewhat famous, it was only within a small circle. His leading the team to their current position still made many people unconvinced.
They believed that Li Yao had taken the mainline quest and received benefits that helped secure the first place.
In reality, the strength of the top three large guilds in each administrative region was similar, and it was not surprising who got the first place. However, the rapid rise of Starfire was indeed unexpected.
Among the top hundred teams, there were less than ten guild teams from the Huaxia region, including Starfire. Apart from Starfire, the top ranking Huaxia guild, the Piaomiao Guild, only held the 38th position.
The other guilds like Brilliance, Prosperous Era, Qionghua and others were beyond the fiftieth place. One top-tier guild even ranked at hundredth place, just barely hanging on by a thread.
The most powerful administrative region even had twenty-six guilds enter the top hundred. That would be the European Administrative Region.
Of course, some powerful guilds from minor administrative regions under large administrative regions also made strong entries.
For example, two guild teams from the Japan Minor Administrative Region, one team from the Tri-Korea Minor Administrative Region, and one team from the Vietnam Minor Administrative Region made it to the rankings.
These were all administrative regions under the Huaxia Administrative Region, and their rankings were even higher than many top-notch Huaxia guilds.
This made countless Huaxia spectators very angry and dissatisfied.
As the saying goes, it’s not that they don’t know the value, but it’s hard to compare. Only the competition and duel on a global scale can make ordinary people recognize the gap between other administrative regions.
Luckily, Starfire saved face by the taking the first place, leaving no excuses for other administrative region guilds to pick faults.
In the forum, many posts were mocking Huaxia. Huaxia players simply said, our Huaxia guild took the first place, what about you guys?
Players from other administrative regions said, it was just luck. Huaxia players still said, we took the first place.
Players from other administrative regions continued, Huaxia will show its true colors in the second round. Huaxia players still said, anyway, we took the first place, feel free to envy us, if you dare, take the first place yourselves.
No matter what, Starfire took the first place in the first round, and that’s a fact.
Countless Huaxia players, whether willingly or not, congratulated Starfire on taking the first place.
At the same time, countless players wanted to join Starfire, a new and promising guild. The earlier they join, the better.
Though many strong teams were eliminated due to bad luck, such as running into Starfire or other powerful teams.
They were strong, but they encountered stronger ones and were directly eliminated.
This resulted in the unlucky ones being eliminated. However, every team in the top hundred had merit.
After the end of the competition, Li Yao and his team began to enjoy the sight of the lights descending onto the stage.
Especially near their stone platform, golden light was everywhere, obviously other teams were also choosing their ranking rewards.
Li Yao saw an orange-red flaming ring descending near them. His eyes immediately turned pure blue and shone slightly.
Edward, on the No. 2 stone platform, was observing Li Yao in secret. She had been paying attention to him since his rise to fame, and took the information about Li Yao very seriously.
Seeing where Li Yao was looking, Edward gave a slight smile and said, “What is Chairman Liaoyuan looking at, let me guess. I heard that Chairman Liaoyuan has acquired quite a few special equipments, and each one has its unique power. They say you have something similar to the Eye of Truth, but even more powerful. Could it be that you have seen the properties of my new ring?”
Li Yao gave a slight smile and said, “Congratulations to Chairman Edward on acquiring the Fire Amplification Ring. This is a small gift prepared by the Demon God of Hell’s Magic Fire for his descendants. I didn’t expect you to draw it.”
Dongdong asked curiously, “What is the Fire Amplification Ring?”
Li Yao explained: “I shouldn’t disclose the properties of other people’s equipment too much. Can I talk about one of its special effects? You won’t mind, will you, Chairman Edward?”
“Feel free to say it, Chairman Liaoyuan. After all, they are just equipments and would eventually be revealed.” Edward said with a grin.
“The best special effect is to convert the released fire into Hell’s Magic Fire. Although it’s only the lowest level Magic Fire, its power and characteristics are at least twice as powerful as ordinary elemental fire.” Li Yao said nonchalantly.
Li Yao spoke lightly, but the people of Starfire gasped. The fire-series elite classes were all incredibly powerful.
Just look at the newbie, Mu Zi, in our guild. His output was explosive. Apart from Li Yao, no one could compete with him in terms of output.
Double the effect, oh my god, what concept is this? This is basically an instant kill.
Edward suddenly realized: “So the rumor is true. Your special equipment is indeed related to Titan. I heard you also have another piece of the Creator’s Equipment, and the wings you acquired are fragments of the Justice Angel’s wings. These wings contain godhood powers. If my guess is correct, you initiated this activity in order to acquire the wing fragments. Do you want to achieve godhood with the Wings of Justice? You are indeed Liaoyuan, always a step ahead of everyone else. We just found out about the possibility of Divine Enthronement, and are still at a loss, while you’re already on the path towards it. Not to mention your Touch of Darkness. This is something of the ancient gods, tsk tsk.”
They were the first and second, naturally attracting attention. Countless people looked at Li Yao, their eyes full of passion.
The official promotion showed more possibilities of the game, and what people look forward to the most is becoming a god.
The spells of destructing heaven and earth as a god made countless players boil with excitement. They’re all exploring the path to becoming a god.
It turned out that Li Yao had already embarked on the journey. Now, many players suddenly realized how important the wing reward from that trial was.
They originally thought it was a special equipment, but they didn’t expect it to be related to becoming a god. One by one, they wished they could skin Li Yao alive and explode his equipment.
“You sure know how to draw hate.” Sister Li said in the team channel.
However, Li Yao didn’t care. He continued to smile and said, “No, not at all. Chairman Edward also has many good things. The vermilion mark on your forehead should be the Phoenix Mark of the God Empress, the wife of Emperor Shaohao of the Panda People. The spider tattoo on your left chest should be the special construct of the Queen of Pain. Each piece is related to a god. Why be so modest?”
As Li Yao spoke, everyone’s eyes turned to Edward, flickering, and obviously, most of them meant no good.
The two unconsciously began to confront each other.
Edward felt a chill down her spine as she saw Li Yao’s blue eyes scanning her body. It felt as if Li Yao could see through her equipment, making her feel naked and uncomfortable…
