Chapter 857 -857: Battle of the Top Four
The Countess frowned slightly, “As a warrior, shouldn’t one fight to the bitter end? Moreover, you won’t die.”
In a world dominated by martial strength like the Ancient God’s, surrendering without a fight was simply disgraceful, it made everyone feel looked down upon.
The Priest said helplessly, “Do you think I want to surrender? But with the freakish attacks from the other side, a hundred life-saving skills wouldn’t be enough for me. You saw the archery in the morning, my lord Countess. Do you think I could dodge them? With his attacks, it’s simply impossible for me to wage a war of attrition.”
The Countess thought about Li Yao’s combat strength and was left speechless.
Many in the audience came to the same realization and offered silent condolences to the Priest.
If it weren’t for facing Li Yao, he might have truly advanced to the top eight, but Li Yao’s archery skills were too otherworldly, and his attacks were terrifying, just as the Priest said, even with a hundred life-saving skills, he could only ensure he wouldn’t die from a hundred arrows.
Combined with overwhelming strength, he didn’t even have the chance to counterattack.
Though understanding, the outcome left everyone dissatisfied; they wanted to see more of Li Yao’s matches.
“Although fleeing without a fight is despicable, such behavior can also be considered an assessment of one’s limits. Do you have anything else to say?” The Countess raised her hand, ready to teleport the deserter away.
“Wait,” the Priest quickly asked, “Chairman Liaoyuan, I just want to know, if I switch factions or choose again, could Starfire take me in?”
Li Yao was taken aback and then surprised again. Such an expert joining Starfire? He quickly said, “Of course, if you start over, Starfire would be willing to cultivate you with resources.”
The Countess directly waved her hand and teleported the two away.
The arena exploded with noise once again. A player who entered the top sixteen was willing to recreate his character just to join Starfire—this was simply outrageous.
Guilds everywhere were green with envy.
The semi-finals were only four matches, which proceeded quickly. Edward claimed victory in the first match.
Edward’s opponent was a Pain Warlock, extremely sneaky, moving around while casting various striking skills, often effortlessly crushing his opponents.
However, against Edward’s high burst Fire Mage, after the badge was used, Edward froze him with an ice ring, followed by a series of Heavenly Fire Meteors—over a dozen Fireballs took the opponent down instantly, securing a magnificent victory.
That match made Unparalleled Beauty known as the Child of the Fire God, like a fire seed sprite, explosive yet agile, forceful yet delicate, matchless in elegance. She was the only female player to reach the top four, and in fact, in the top eight, only she and Unparalleled Beauty were female participants.
The second match was won by Jackson from the North American administrative region, a formidable Berserker.
Wielding two battle axes burning with ice and flame, his attacks were like a gale storm. His opponent was an Enhanced Shaman.
In close combat, Jackson’s advantages weren’t just agility and attack speed; but also a chance of inflicting a one-second freezing effect with the axe’s strikes.
In reality, the Enhanced Shaman wasn’t weak; with the support of totems, he took quite an advantage, at one point pushing the Berserker’s health below half.
But after being frozen by the axe’s effect three times, interrupting three skills, in such high-level duels, missing three skills and being frozen for three seconds was enough to decide the outcome of the fight.
Only after the match did everyone learn that Jackson was considered a hybrid of magic and martial arts, capable of using some auxiliary magic, and was known as the Ice Axe Lunatic.
The third match featured Gale from the Three Korean States, a Turtle Shell Rider, who doggedly wore down Unparalleled Beauty to death.
The Unparalleled Beauty’s attack was slightly lacking, and against such high-defense classes, she was at a disadvantage. The Unparalleled Beauty took her chances and landed two full combos on her opponent, but failed to kill them.
Later, the opponent seized an opportunity to stun the Unparalleled Beauty and then finished her off with one combo.
The Unparalleled Beauty’s only consolation was reaching the quarterfinals, which left many Huaxia viewers slightly disappointed.
Disappointment aside, there was no harsh criticism, partly because no one had the heart to criticize such a stunning beauty, but more importantly,
just as the Priest came across Li Yao, it was a matter of running into a class counter.
The Unparalleled Beauty had already performed exceptionally well. Not being able to kill the opponent with two combos left all viewers feeling helpless.
With high defense, numerous life-saving skills, and the ability to heal, the Unparalleled Beauty could at best only maintain a stalemate without making any mistakes. Once the opponent found an opportunity, she was killed.
It was an unavoidable outcome, just bad luck.
And this player from Korea named Gale was dubbed the number one Turtle Shell.
In response, Angel wasn’t convinced. Although his Immovable Bastion was also strong, it was too skewed towards defense, and his Immovable Bastion was a group defense Magic Shield, more suited for dungeons and group battles. In one-on-one fights, it was at a disadvantage.
However, this Turtle Shell was extremely flexible. He only had single-target defenses, plus his deliberately enhanced gear of +7, which was just incredibly strong.
Many were puzzled as to why not enhance to +10. The reality is, except for tycoon gamers that have nothing left but money, nobody would enhance all their gear to +10. +7 and +10 may seem only three levels apart, but the cost of enhancement grows exponentially, and the attribute boosts become increasingly outrageous. The further one goes, the higher the cost of enhancement, and the better the attribute boosts from the enhancement.
The last semi-final battle featured Li Yao against a Druid, a very strong foe with various transformations and an excellent grasp of timing.
Lady Earl announced the start of the match and the ten-second countdown to the fight began.
The Druid called Shepherd Tree Man looked towards Li Yao, who was only holding a bow, and frowned slightly, “Is this how you plan to fight me?”
Li Yao nodded and said, “Just like this.”
The Shepherd Tree Man said discontentedly, “I heard that Prairie Fire is very arrogant. Seeing it today proves it. As a Beast Mastery Hunter, you’re not even summoning your pet for a top-four battle. Is this confidence in your own abilities, or are you simply looking down on me?”
“With all due respect, for this fight, whether I summon a pet or not really makes no difference,” Li Yao waved his hand. “I truly didn’t mean to belittle you. But since you’ve mentioned it, I’ll summon my pet.”
As he spoke, Li Yao began to whistle.
At the first whistle, accompanied by the cry of an eagle, the giant silhouette of a Firebird appeared, circling the arena like a small sun. Even though it was in the air, people could feel the heatwave, as if they had entered midsummer.
At the second whistle, Death God 4000 appeared behind and slightly to the side of Li Yao. It was lean and nothing but a cold killing machine; the cold muzzle of its gun glinted with a chilling light, and with several Rocket Bombs strapped to its waist, no one doubted their attack power.
With the third whistle, the massive figure of the Spider Tank appeared, lifting Li Yao onto its back.
The Spider’s compound eyes emitted soul-shaking murderous intent and various negative emotions. Just one glance at it was enough to make people uncomfortable.

Its arrival seemed to make the entire arena tremble. The colossal Eye of the Ancient God on its cannon aimed at the Druid while its legs, covered with steel, shone like gleaming Blades. The creature’s feet had already pierced the arena’s magically-enchanced stone…
