Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Astonishing Skills
Seeing the situation in front of them, everyone was dumbfounded, besides Li Yao. It was simply too unexpected.
They saw the arrows flying in a direction that was not towards Laurent, so they instinctively thought the arrows had missed the mark.
Everyone thought that Li Yao was too arrogant and confident. They all wanted to see if he would feel embarrassed after missing the shot and how he would get out of the situation.
But no one saw, exactly how Laurent was taken out.
“Replay!”
This time nobody called for a replay, but Serena immediately started the replay. Facing Li Yao’s abnormalities, she could only give a wry smile. If everyone were like Li Yao, their jobs as commentators would surely be at stake.
Everyone watched the re-emerging screen with total concentration, experiencing an absurd sensation.
They suddenly remembered that when Li Yao was commenting, he could basically explain everything. Nothing could be hidden from him. Naturally, the audience was satisfied watching, and there was no need for replays.
But after Li Yao joined the fray, the three commentators were as good as useless, only able to present basic information about the contestants.
Especially in the latter matches, none of them dared to make predictions anymore. Even Whyte stopped underestimating Li Yao, having been proven wrong too many times. He had learned his lesson by now.
As the replay started, they saw the arrow hitting a tree, ricocheting off it.
Many had a moment of realization. That Li Yao could ricochet was no secret. Though the Hunter’s Ricochet Skill Book was rare, it was not exclusive to him. However, those who knew how to use ricocheting, only Li Yao came to mind.
Just as they presumed the arrow would ricochet towards Laurent, they found that wasn’t the case. The arrow had, in fact, ricocheted into the woods.
Thanks to the slow-motion replay, everyone could clearly see the path of the ricocheting arrow. The arrow was lost as it ricocheted off tree after tree. Whether they were paying attention or not, Laurent certainly wouldn’t have seen the arrow.
Serena said, “No wonder Laurent was hit, that’s just so wicked. The arrow ricocheted over a dozen times before hitting Laurent from a completely different direction. Even if he had his guard up, he wouldn’t have expected the arrow to hit after so many ricochets.”
All the spectators were gasping in astonishment. The spectacle was simply too shocking. If it had ricocheted once or twice, they might still accept it. But a dozen times? That would require incredibly powerful spiritual power and computational ability.
“What a monster, I can’t believe he pulled something like that off. No wonder Laurent died so miserably.”
“If not for the Hunter’s monstrous skills, who else could ever be worthy of the title?”
“Sure enough! That octopus guy only got strong because of his pet. Once you compare him to the Hunter, the difference is too obvious.”
“One’s in the sky while the other’s on the ground. Facing the Hunter, he got killed instantly. The Hunter really is a terrifying class to deal with. It’s a pity I can’t play it.”
“The Hunter really is a magical class. If you are skilled, it feels invincible like the Hunter. But for an ordinary Hunter, it’s hard to even form a group. Really, as a Hunter player, I thought I was good. I had seen videos of the Hunter, but I thought he was just bullying the weak. Only when I saw him today did I realize what monstrous really means.”
“Monstrous? More like a divine shot, absolutely stunning.”
Watching Laurent collapse, unaware of his own death, everyone was abuzz with chatter. It was a tragic scene, much like the previous one. Both times, he thought he had won, only for him to drop dead before he could react.
Laurent was revived. Upon seeing the screen, his face darkened with embarrassment. He had always known that there was a gap between him and the world’s top players. But he believed that with the suppression of his equipment, he could bring down any top player. He considered himself a top-class professional. But to be killed in such a vague manner was infuriating.
At the same time, it was a close call. This was his first time facing a completely unpredictable opponent. It was terrifying to think that just when you think you’re about to win, you lose instead. The feeling was simply overwhelming.
Just as Serena was about to remove the screen, Ozawa suddenly said, “Wait, replay it again.”
Though Serena was confused, she replayed the scene. The audience was puzzled and didn’t know what was happening.
“Look at the screen. Notice, when the arrow flew over, Laurent was already standing up and ready to leave. Look.” Ozawa highlighted and continued, “If Laurent didn’t move, the arrow couldn’t hit him.”
Seeing the highlight, everyone gasped. Just as Ozawa said, if Laurent didn’t move, the arrow couldn’t hit him.
The next question is, was this arrow actually off-target? Was Prairie Fire just lucky to land that shot?
But if it wasn’t off target, that’s terrifying. If Li Yao even calculated Laurent’s movement, they couldn’t imagine. Just the thought sent chills down their spines.
“Let’s ask Prairie Fire himself.” Serena said, “Prairie Fire, the audience is puzzled by this. Can you explain this?”
Li Yao shrugged indifferently, saying, “Just think of it as good luck. A blind cat ran into a dead rat.”
“Doesn’t look like luck, this is truly a divine shot. So stunning. This clip is definitely going to make the top ten.”
Most people also thought so. If they attributed it to luck, it wouldn’t make sense. But if it wasn’t luck, that also didn’t add up. Taking everything into account, they didn’t believe in the idea of luck.
Especially top players, they wouldn’t believe that it was merely good luck. Because high difficulty maneuvers don’t appear like strength.
Ozawa continued, “Then, another question. How did you know that Laurent was in that position?”
Hearing Ozawa’s question, everyone finally realized. Of course, they could see Laurent since this is a match mode.
But in reality, Laurent was invisible. He was hiding motionlessly behind a large tree. So, how did Prairie Fire achieve it?
Now, when they thought about it, Li Yao used fifteen seconds to find his invisible opponent and hit him. The more they thought, the more they felt that this match was breathtaking. It was short, but left a profound and lingering impact.
Li Yao laughed and said, “I have my methods. Let’s continue to the next match. I want to end the battles quickly.” ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Ozawa said, “Stop keeping us in suspense. If you don’t clear this up, who can concentrate on the next match?”
“Right, right, right, Hunter, please tell us.”
“Prairie Fire bro, you better explain quickly, my heart’s like being scratched by a cat.” Sky and Sea also smiled wryly…
