Chapter 336: Raging like Fire and Blossoming like Flower
Li Yao spent nearly a day pouring out all the Water of Blue Moon Lake from the bottle, supervised by the Undead holding a bucket. Though he didn’t need to hold the bottle himself, the bottle was his property, so he had to stay nearby.
After the queen left, Li Yao directly pulled up a chair and began watching the live broadcast of the Central Arena.
Due to an ongoing event, players could earn fixed experience by participating in arena ranking matches. Coupled with the incentivizing package rewards, many commentators and players were drawn to participate and analyze the event.
At least during the event, other than Li Yao, who could collectively grind and kill bosses, the profits gained in the Arena surpassed those in the wild.
In this situation, the Arena became extremely popular, and every town’s Arena was bustling with people.
This also further ignited the popularity of PK skills, and Li Yao’s previous videos saw a significant increase in views.
All commentators and streamers started live-streaming, seeking valuable experts or guilds to broadcast with their resources. They leveraged their reputation and that of the selected contestants to elevate their own popularity.
Apart from other streamers and commentators, Feng Yi also started streaming to boost the reputation of the Starfire Guild.
And it had a considerable impact; many players realized that the Starfire Guild had many experts besides Prairie Fire.
The sturdy defensive prowess of the Guardian Angel was famously unbreakable. As he leveled up, he gradually mastered the essence of the opposing player.
Regardless of its low attack ability, the role seemed invincible, gradually forcing his opponents into retreat. No matter whether his opponents won or lost, facing this character was exasperating. Many players muttered complaints under their breath and hoped never to encounter it again.
Every match with the Guardian Angel became a contest of endurance. Eventually, several players, regardless of their ability to beat him, conceded rather than wasting time. This held true even when surrendering resulted in doubled point deductions.
As a result, Guardian Angel successfully achieved thirty consecutive victories before even he couldn’t keep up anymore.
Subsequently, various veterans and experts from the Starfire Guild hit the field, most of whom recorded thirty consecutive wins.
Especially, the popular teenager, adorably clueless yet surprisingly adept at PK. Along with her constant deployment of totems, she thrashed the opponents relentlessly, making the audience demand more even after thirty victories.
She won most of her games, losing only to formidable opponents who intentionally countered her role.
Shadow Dance’s performance was equally impressive. His consistently calm and silent demeanor was akin to the Death God — this made the audience realize the essence of the Sharp Thief.
New player Mu Zi was among the most standout newbies. His high-damage attacks, unpredictable skills, and dramatic flair made it feel like the players were watching an artistic performance that reduced their opponents to dust.
Then came the high-beauty combination from the Starfire Guild — all of them were of the beauty level.
The only gloomy one was Da Vinci, who played a support role — her low attack power made PK impossible for her.
As the deputy president of the Guild, Ms Li was an Ice Mage known for her cold temperament. Her skill set, coupled with her icy personality, lent her an aura of an Ice Goddess. As the vice-president, she gained significant attention.
Unlike Ms Li, Fruit Knight wasn’t aloof. She was more like the Valley Orchid – quiet. But her combat style was distinct from her personality — she was ferocious in battle, demonstrating a unique sense of contrasting beauty.
There was no need to mention Feng Yi. Most viewers were drawn to the live broadcast because of her. Her summoning of elite Undead was notoriously formidable.
Stone Demon made a great protective shield with high health, high defense and high damage reflection. Her ability to summon various types of ranged magic Skeletons for attack, while she hid amongst them casting various curses and Bone Spears, made it impossible for most players to approach her.
The new addition was Unparalleled Beautiful Lady. She was arguably the most noticed member of the Starfire Guild. Although she wore a face cloth, her voluptuous figure and seductive charm made viewers’ hearts race – her appeal brought in a large audience.
Just her looks were intoxicating enough to allure a vast number of players. This was the power of her personal charm.
Of course, her skills were beyond question. She had always been among the top players in PK and was the only player from the Starfire Guild to make it to the top hundred ladder players.
Leaf Thief’s skills flowed smoothly and stylishly. His equipment gave him a distinctly classical Chinese look. His poetic skills often left opponents in shambles.
Given the current scarcity of skills to break control and faction tokens, once Leaf Thief found a flaw, he could generally charge and take away the opponent in one go.
Unparalleled Beautiful Lady was the only Starfire Guild player who had a record of eighty-eight consecutive wins. According to the site statistics, no player had yet claimed a hundred consecutive wins.
There were many reasons for this situation. Skillful players found it easy to win initially as many common players participating in the ranking event during the activities didn’t care for high ranks.
They just wanted to gain experience and gift packages, which made it easier for the skilled players to win initially. However, as their points increased, they started encountering more and more skilled opponents.
Eighty plus consecutive victories were already quite astounding.
After all, there were no invincible professions at this point. Even the so-called unshakeable fortress, the Enduring Shepherd, had professions that could counter him and beat him. The same was true for Leaf Thief.
In Old Gods, there were no unbeatable professions — every profession had its predator. What this meant was that anyone could kill a large number of professionals who countered them. This led to players, originally drawn by her beauty, to change their perception and appreciate her skills.
Of course, there’s nothing better than appreciating beauty while watching intensely exciting matches and stunning maneuvers. That’s why Unparalleled Beautiful lady had the highest popularity among members of the Starfire Guild.
During the day, when Li Yao was watching, elders from the Starfire Guild gathered in one of the Arena mirrors to study the Sand Dragon King’s strategy. Li Yao didn’t offer any advice but let them explore on their own.
By the time night fell, though the elders couldn’t achieve high accomplishments, they were able to enter the Central Arena.
Starting from the afternoon, the Central Arena began teeming with life. Due to their skills and profession, they could defeat the Sand Dragon King, but couldn’t gain higher accomplishments or medals.
The Central Arena competition for the colorful gift package was in full swing.
By the time Li Yao reached the Arena, it had fully descended into darkness. Being a main city, the Arena here was even more crowded.
“Big brother, you finally showed up. Did you see the forum? Many posts are tarnishing your name because you haven’t shown up for so long,” the adorable teenager complained as she saw Li Yao entering the landscape arena they had previously booked.
Li Yao opened the forum with surprise, indeed finding numerous posts about him…
PS: At the beginning of the month, we’re seeking votes for rankings. I hope friends who book and have votes will cast their votes and join me in this battle. Mario thanks you.
