The live broadcast room was also enveloped in darkness. After Feng Yi logged off, the live broadcast function was shut down as well. In this instance, the soul doesn’t directly go back to the graveyard after death.

Hence, whether Li Yao and his team were wiped out or had moved on was something the audience in the live broadcast room didn’t know.

This anxiety was unbearable. If Li Yao’s team was wiped out, it’d be regrettable. If they moved on, it would warrant cheers. But in this situation, the suspense was too intense to handle.

Soon, members of Li Yao’s team were gradually resurrected.

The first thing they did upon resurrection was to ask, “So, did we make it?”

Then, seeing Li Yao pointing at the burnt corpse, they immediately let out a gasp of surprise.

“Damn, this worked?”

“We really made it, oh my God.”

“Seems like a few teams just got through the Corpse King Shield in the elite version of this event.”

“There are indeed teams that made it, but it felt like they cleared a different instance, okay? Looking at the elite version, the Corpse King Shield seems quite strong. It’s only when you see the master level that you realize just how weak the elite version really is.”

“Looks like Prairie Fire really has a chance at scoring the first kill at the master level, poor thing.”

“Indeed, poor thing. They can’t communicate with outsiders because of the competition rules. It’s quite a tragedy, but why do I look forward to it so much?”

“Similarly looking forward, you can see that although those great guilds can’t communicate with outsiders, they’re aware of the team progress rankings. Look at those teams that cleared the elite level Corpse King Shield, they are on top of the world, discussing their experience.”

“Yes, and their guild leaders and managers are anxiously burning up outside the competition area. They are just short of breaking into the competition grounds.”

“I’m eager to see them barge into the competition area before the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people.”

Actually, not just the managers and guild leaders, the person in charge from the guild with the big logo was even more frightened. He didn’t know how his decision to stop Li Yao from participating in the competition was leaked, but he was currently as pale as death.

The purpose of this competition was to promote the game and the e-sports guilds and clubs.

The official opened up such a long registration period and set up such generous prizes to gather all teams capable of clearing instances for a grand debut without restrictions.

The concept that these big guilds were not able to match a wild-card team who excelled in the master version of the instance as much as they did in the elite level on the first day was indeed alarming.

What’s worse, they drove away a team that was eager to sign up. Moreover, this was a key target for the company, the owner of the first new mech. The senior executives of Ancient Gods Company were furious.

If Li Yao successfully cleared the instance, their competition would become a laughing stock.

Feng Yi said helplessly, “The official already contacted me, hoping that I can persuade you to add the person in charge as a friend.”

Li Yao casually replied, “Who’s the person in charge, the dimwit who received us?”

“Yes, that guy, and also the head of the China district’s carnival. They want to apologize to you in person,” Feng Yi said.

“You tell him, we’re busy clearing the instance. Apologies can wait until we’re done. All team members, shut down your communication devices. I suspect you’re all being bombarded with messages. Hurry up,” Li Yao urged.

The team members looked at each other and shut down their private chats.

“I’m screwed because of you, you pig,” a man who looked sharp and competent threw off his virtual glasses and glared at the manager with the big face before swiftly leaving the room.

The manager with the big face was like a man who’d lost his soul. He knew the company’s system too well, he knew he was finished.

Li Yao is great, he admitted, but in his view, that was individual skill, and had nothing to do with clearing instances.

Rounding up a ragtag team to clear the instance was too far-fetched. The great guilds might as well not exist if it was that easy.

However, reality delivered a heavy blow. He didn’t really care when he heard Li Yao was clearing the instance. But when he heard that Li Yao had passed the Corpse King Shield on the master difficulty, he was completely terrorized.

He knew he was done for, finally messed up for real…

Li Yao didn’t care about all those things. This time he was genuinely intending to hit back hard. He assumed the Wild and Free team too must have been pleaded with, but now that he had made up his mind, he was going to see it through. Either don’t do it, or do it thoroughly.

If he backed down now, he wouldn’t be grateful to the guilds and the people in charge. Instead, they would resent him for being soft and easy to bully. Given that, it’s better to give them a harsh beating. Let them understand that they have to prepare for losing teeth before trying to bite him.

“Tonton, why are you still standing there? Loot the corpse,” Li Yao said when he saw Tonton standing there blankly.

“Oh, oh,” Tonton replied with a beaming smile. She was still the best at looting corpses and quite content, “Here we go, first item, be prepared everyone.”

Art of Arrow: Ricochet: The fired arrow can ricochet until it hits a target.

“This skill, how come it’s so weird? It has no attack power. Is the master level boss just giving us trash?” Da Vinci frowned.

“I won’t stand on ceremony then.” Li Yao couldn’t wait to assign the skill to himself, and then learn it right away.

“Watching Li Yao so happy, could it be that this skill is very powerful?” Tonton asked curiously.

Li Yao took a deep breath and said, “To be precise, it’s a kind of effect. It doesn’t add to attack power, but if you ask me to estimate its value, it exceeds a level 10 purple weapon.”

Li Yao knew all too well that this passive effect was very rare and was only dropped in dungeons. However, the drop rate was only one in ten million. Li Yao only managed to buy this skill after playing Hunter for three to four years with a huge sum of Gold Coins, proving its valuable degree.

Its actual worth even exceeded gold weapons, nevermind low-level purple weapons.

However, the rest of the players were still confused. To them, it was at most an effect of ricochet, which didn’t seem special and didn’t increase attack power.

“Alright, next item,” Li Yao said, no longer explaining, although he also couldn’t explain properly.

The first loot was already a valuable item, which made him even more excited. The drop from a dungeon boss, especially the first kill, was obviously going to be generous.

“Okay, the next item,” Tonton agreed and continued to loot the corpse.
