Chapter 1209 - Chapter 1209 Chapter 1209 Pointing the Way

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Pointing the Way Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Pointing the Way In the arena, Kure raised an eyebrow and said, “Not bad, not as useless as the two weaklings before, but that was just for fun. Now the real battle begins, and I won’t give you a chance to catch your breath.”

“Bring it on,” sneered Cracked Tooth with a cold laugh.

“Very well,” replied Kure, his body shrouded in a faint glow as if cloaked in a semi-transparent blood-red whirlwind: “Prepare to die.”

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…

Kure fired rapidly, his shooting speed many times faster than before.

Pff…

Cracked Tooth’s body was blasted away, landing on the ground, never to stand up again.

Kure shook his head slightly: “Still too weak, next.”

The spectators were in an uproar; they were too fast, and the majority had not seen clearly what had happened.

The two commentators also looked to Li Yao, who spoke as the footage replayed.

“The principle is simple. Kure’s rapid attacks exceeded Cracked Tooth’s limits. In terms of both speed and strength, the two were on wholly different levels. But this Cracked Tooth was also quite impressive to have been able to block the first four shots by perceiving the danger. Look here, at the first shot, Cracked Tooth definitely had the upper hand, correctly predicting the bullet’s path and blocking it just like last time. The second shot he managed to cope with, quickly reacting to catch the second. But by the third shot, his defensive posture was nearly breaking down, with the force exceeding his limits.”

“Yet, he still managed to block that shot before completely breaking down, though his arms were already shaking noticeably from the strain. By the time of the fourth shot, his defensive stance had completely collapsed, his body had lost its balance, and the powerful force sent him flying. Still, relying on his instinctive awareness of danger, he blocked the fourth shot. But his arms were at the end of their endurance–look here, the unnatural bending of his arms clearly indicates the dramatic difference in strength, leaving him temporarily disabled.”

“And this fifth shot, the most crucial and brilliant of them all, he still managed, without any defense left, to instinctively dodge and protect his head. His ability to make such judgments is quite dominant. It’s just unfortunate that the bullet’s damage was too high; a hit to the chest instantly killed him. If they were on the same level, perhaps he could have lasted longer. Such a pity.”

The crowd had not expected there to be so much intricacy in the replayed footage, and listened with a feeling of awe and excitement as if they were experiencing it themselves.

It was Li Yao’s excellent skills and insight that allowed for such commentary. Otherwise, the current stage of commentary, although high quality, is limited by technique and vision. Many things were not understood and therefore couldn’t be explained, leading to that itchy, unsatisfying feeling when something is just out of reach.

This was also why the officials had paid a high price to have Li Yao commentate. At least the company executives were very satisfied, feeling that the money was well spent. You see, for official live commentaries like this, commentators would clamor to participate even without being paid. But the fee for Li Yao was a whopping hundred thousand credit points per hour, an astronomical sum.

The fourth challenger was a master from the Dark Camp, but obviously not as capable as the alien player, and was defeated.

In this manner, the cycle continued for an entire day, with countless masters attempting and even some spending military honors to try again, but still no hope of victory was seen.

Kure’s marksmanship was simply too good, as if he was on a divine mission to slaughter gods and buddhas alike.

The players tried every method imaginable–resisting like a tank, infinite dodging, weird and wonderful combinations of skills and gadgets, but no one managed to endure more than ten bullets before being killed.

Li Yao’s commentary resonated deeply with the audience. No matter what tactics or props players used, Li Yao was always able to analyze the viability, strengths, and weaknesses of various setups and tactics from different angles in a simple and straightforward manner, greatly benefiting countless players.

He also illuminated the path for many players who were previously filled with doubt and confusion about their own development. With just a few words, Li Yao could clearly define the direction for certain playstyles and tactics.

Not just the audience, but also the players nearby, and even alien players, started to see Li Yao differently.

While many alien players still wouldn’t admit how strong Li Yao’s skills were, at least in theory, they respected him and had gained much from his insights.

In one day, Li Yao had garnered countless fans, and not just within the administrative district; even many alien players had come to see Li Yao as a guiding light.

On the second day, The Ancient God World opened the Kure challenge dungeon, a challenge for players between levels 40 to 50 to participate in. Countless players joined in the challenge, and although they wouldn’t receive military achievements, they could earn the glory of a first kill.

Many top players used their connections to send their impressive challenge videos to the officials, hoping to get Li Yao’s commentary. The official team carefully selected some of these videos for Li Yao to review.

Players discovered that Li Yao seemed to have an intimate understanding of everything in The Ancient God World, with deep knowledge of various professions, skills, and tactics. He often provided them with unique and different perspectives.

More importantly, even for new props that appeared for the first time and were learned by the public, Li Yao was able to offer some unique insights.

Kure, this powerful boss, had firmly trapped the great army. For an entire week, no one could last more than a minute in either the challenge dungeon or in front of the boss. It was an event that seemed impossible to survive.

Players called Kure a boss that currently seemed unbeatable, and even the alien players admitted defeat, as their own champions fell.

And Li Yao’s fan base grew even more, with a massive increase in those wanting to join Starfire.

On the forums, Li Yao was being referred to by countless people as a mentor on the path forward and an encyclopedia of The Ancient God World.

However, after a week, not only defeating the boss, but even lasting a minute became difficult, and everyone was completely in despair.

Someone started the rumor that Li Yao was just talking nonsense, and although most people rebutted this, Li Yao had not yet entered the fray. As time passed, many people also began to suspect that Li Yao might not have the confidence to defeat the boss, which was why he hadn’t taken to the field.

On the eighth day, when the people gathered once more, the Array in the capital shone even more brilliantly as countless players died.

“Chairman Liaoyuan, aren’t you going to take the stage?” Xiao Ze asked with a bitter smile, growing weary of watching numerous experts die miserably.

“The Demon Queen also said, “Could it be true, as those petty people maliciously speculate, that you also aren’t confident?”

After a week of collaboration, the Demon Queen had come to admire Li Yao immensely.

Li Yao laughed, “I wanted everyone to try it out slowly, that’s more interesting. If I were to kill the boss right off the bat, what fun would there be left? How would everyone improve their skills? Now that the time is right, I’ll personally take the stage to demonstrate, lest anyone say I’m all talk and no action.”

Everyone immediately boiled with excitement, knowing Li Yao was about to go on stage. No one else signed up anymore; they all waited for Li Yao to make his move…
