Would Li Yi have given away the second round if he was not a hundred percent confident in winning the third round?
The only reason Li Yi had dared to throw the prior match was because he was a hundred percent sure about winning the third match. Otherwise, he would have never done such a thing like throwing a round.
Li Yi’s golden light barrier was called Chrono Territory. It was not a Territory Skill, but rather, an effect of his Territory Release. His actual Territory Skill was one that allowed him to stack his skill infinitely, Infinite Burst.
Due to the restrictions imposed on Infinite Burst, Li Yi could only stack his Powered-up Arrow and Hunt Target initially to deal large amounts of damage. None of his other skills could enjoy the benefits of Infinite Burst, but as he continued to improve his Territory Power, his Territory Skill had begun to evolve as well.
Chrono Burst!
That was the new name of the upgraded Infinite Burst.
[Chrono Burst: Compresses Chrono Territory, allowing the user to override the limits of their skill usage within a short period of time and resulting in a hundred instances of the same skill being used at the same time. With Chrono Burst, a single arrow shot was equal to a hundred arrows fired!]
Due to the heavy compression of Chrono Territory during Chrono Burst’s activation, time effectively stood still during this moment. As such, all attacks launched during this period on the user were effectively nullified.
The battle was over. Li Yi’s activation of Chrono Burst had exhausted all of his Territory Power. Although Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was still lying on the ground, the Stinger Arrow that was pinned on his body continued to take effect.
Only after the system had declared the end of the match did Tyrant Sword King rise with a sullen expression.
He stared at Li Yi with lifeless eyes, and he did utter a single word.
He had originally thought that his skill level was equal to Li Yi’s. However, the events that transpired had left him severely despondent. He could not even think of anything to find solace in.
After all, the gap was just too huge. What was there to console himself about?
“We had a deal. So, do you admit defeat?”
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth shrugged his shoulders and walked down the stage.
“You want me to kneel to you? Keep f*cking dreaming then. Our bet was not made within the game, so you have nothing to tie me down! You’d better transfer one billion to me within three days, otherwise, I’ll immediately post the video!”
His mask of confidence shattered, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth no longer upheld the end of his bargain.
Li Yi walked down the stage and was welcomed by Qian’er.
“So, what did King Fifth say?” Qian’er was extremely anxious. Had Li Yi not been by his side these past few days, she would have already broken down.
Although Liu Yun was not her birth mother, she had treated Qian’er even better than an actual mother would. Had it not been due to this incident, Qian’er would have already participated in the Arena Championships as a finalist.
Li Yi did not sugar-coat his words. He bluntly stated the truth. “He isn’t going to uphold his end of the deal. We have three days to transfer a billion yuan to his account, or else he’ll post the video.”
As if she was struck by lightning, Qian’er’s avatar quickly faded away.
She had gone offline.
Li Yi furrowed his brows, took off his VR goggles, and rushed out of his room.
Qian’er was downstairs. She was about to leave the house, and she had a terrible complexion. It was as if her spirit had been chased out of her.
“Hold it right there!”
Li Yi shouted, holding Qian’er in place.
“What’re you trying to do?”
“I… I’m going to withdraw some money.”
“Why? Do you think that King Fifth would stop threatening you if you sent him the money?”
Qian’er’s eyes began to redden. “I…I don’t know what else to do.”
She was really panicking this time. In her heart, Liu Yun was her mother, and she would never let anyone harm her.
Li Yi patted Qian’er’s shoulder. “Believe me, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth cannot threaten us.”
Qian’er bawled, “Then what should I do? What should I do?”
“Just sit here and continue gaming.”
Qian’er stared at Li Yi with wide-eyed shock. Her expression immediately sank.
“Let go of me!”
Qian’er thrust Li Yi aside and quickly ran down the stairs.
So, how did Li Yi stop her? Well, he ran after her, grabbed her by the waist, and brutishly carried her back up.
“I don’t know you! Let go of me! Someone, help!”
“Keep shouting and I’ll strip you naked right this instant. Could you at least let me finish?”
“Someone, help me! Let go of me! I’m going to save my aunty, boohoohoo…”
Leaving no chance for Qian’er to refute, Li Yi carried Qian’er back into his house, tossed her onto the sofa, and shut her up with a single sentence.
“The video in King Fifth’s hand is fake.”
“Say what?”
Li Yi shook his head and sighed, “I’ve never seen your aunty before, and I almost got looped into Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s plot because of you.”
Qian’er probed, “You say the video’s fake? How’d you know?”
“Go through the video carefully one more time. I’ll show you the proof later.”
After finishing his sentence, Li Yi headed off to take out his proof. A moment later, Li Yi returned with Jiaojiao’s notebook in hand.
At that moment, Qian’er still had her eyes glued on the clip.
The video that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had sent over had average clarity, and due to the way it was filmed, the male’s face was never seen. As for the female, there were very little front shots of her, and most of it were side shots.
The first time Qian’er had watched the video, she immediately recognized the female as Liu Yun. However, she did not pay much attention to the male in the video. Since she had no interest in males, could you blame her for not paying attention to the naked male in the video?
While Qian’er watched, she muttered to herself, “This person looks like my aunt from the back, but this guy… He doesn’t really look like King Fifth.”
“I finally see it! This guy really, really, really, really isn’t King Fifth. King Fifth has an obvious birthmark on his arm, but this person doesn’t. Also, also, also, I don’t think my aunty is that tall.”
Sometime later, Qian’er began to rejoice.
Qian’er nervously grabbed onto Li Yi, and in a shaky voice, she asked, “Brother Yi, is the video really fake?”
Her little hands were icy cold, and they were dripping with perspiration. It was obvious that she had been frightened out of her wits…
“Look at the proof.”
Li Yi opened up Queen Jiao’s notebook, clicked in the local disk D:, and clicked on the folder titled ‘I like Drinking Coke’.
“What’s this?” Qian’er was confused, and she gripped Li Yi’s hand even tighter.
“This is Jiaojiao’s hobby.”
Within the folder, was several r*pe tapes, and when Li Yi clicked on one of them, it displayed the full version of the Liu Yun video.
“This…this…this…” Qian’er was so moved that she began to quiver.
The male and female’s faces were clearly shown within the video, and from it, it as clear that they were not Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Liu Yun.
Li Yi scratched his head, “These videos are extremely precious, and it’s hard to find them online. Queen Jiao had a hard time collecting them…”
“Qianqian, do you believe me… umph…”
Before Li Yi had completed his sentence, Qian’er extended both arms and hugged Li Yi. Using her small mouth, she clamped it onto Li Yi’s mouth.
Li Yi noticed that Qian’er’s lips were a bit salty…
The tears from Qian’er’s beautiful eyes had dripped into her mouth.
