“You’re being condemned, tsk tsk.” Zhao Lei said gloatingly, “Hundreds of rich people have already placed bets in gold, but alas, not one of them thinks you’ll win.”

Li Yao blinked in surprise, then quickly regained his composure, saying, “This is the perfect chance to win big. If you trust me, place your bet on me. Can’t you even figure that out? Are you dumb?”

“Oh yeah, why didn’t I think of that?” An enlightened look washed over Zhao Lei’s face.

“I also placed a bet of ten gold. If you lose, you’ll have to pay me,” said Guardian Angel gleefully.

“I’ll spill the beans, he has a small stash of money tucked away in his bedside table drawer.” Zhao Lei informed the Fruit Knight.

The Fruit Knight gave Guardian Angel a sharp look, causing her to wilt instantly, “Cough cough, this is the salary I just received.”

“It’s mid-month, ” the Fruit Knight said indifferently.

“I’ll definitely hand it over, after winning of course.” Now the Fruit Knight regretted drawing attention to his bet. Now his half-year savings would dry up too.

“Hmm, I also placed several dozen gold as a bet,” chimed in Fruit Knight. “You better not let me go broke.”

Li Yao chimed in, “Hold on a second, I’ll place a bet on myself to win. The odds are quite high, it’s not often that Xiao Ze is this generous with the stakes.” Ah, pfffff…

Dark Grape was about to explode in anger. Never had he been so blatantly disregarded. This was a barefaced provocation. His opponent didn’t even seem to take him seriously. It felt like Li Yao was assured of his victory. It was infuriating.

“Damnit, I can’t handle it, they’re too arrogant.”

“I can’t resist the urge to obliterate him, what do we do?”

“I can’t hold back either.”

“I’ll place a bet too.”

“Count me in.”

Both the live stream viewers and the elites from the Holy Fire Guild were outraged. They started placing fervent bets amidst their towering anger.

If they didn’t retaliate in some way, how could they live with themselves? This was simply unbearable!

“Deputy Head, annihilate him! He’s so infuriating.”

“If it weren’t for our upcoming duel, I would have lost my restraint ages ago.”

“He’s clueless and daring at the same time, challenging our boss to an archery match. He’ll cry later, wait and see.”

“Ignorance is fearlessness.”

“The second duel is going to be intense, hasn’t even started yet and there’s already so much contention. Looks like it’s going to be another extraordinary battle,” laughed Xiao Ze. “Anything else either of you want to say? If not, can we get started?”

“I’m the true King of Hunters.” Dark Grape declared with an air of utmost seriousness mingled with arrogance.

Eyeing Li Yao’s smirk in return, and Dark Grape’s lack of any response, Xiao Ze curiously inquired, “Any reaction from you, Prairie Fire?”

“First off, I’m not the King of Hunters, so it’s none of my business,” Li Yao shrugged. In reality he thought, ‘king of hunters? That means nothing. If it were the hunting god, maybe, but the king of hunters, that’s so outmoded. I’m embarrassed to be associated with someone so unambitious. And can you keep me off the camera?”

“I am a certified journalist, you know.” Xiao Ze gave a teasing wink.

“Then nothing needs to be said. I really do want to kill someone.”

“Although I’m not weak, I know I won’t be able to take you down. If you want to kill me, go ahead, I promise not to fight back. Plus, the law doesn’t prohibit killing journalists in the game,” Xiao Ze said with a smile.

Truly, for a moment there, Li Yao wanted to strike. All she needed was to show the slightest bit of stubbornness.

But he found it awkward to harm someone who wouldn’t retaliate, even in the face of insults and assaults.

“Then, let’s get started. I was worried that I wouldn’t have a decent grade ten bow on hand.” Li Yao casually dropped a piece of blue equipment. He didn’t make it explicit that if his opponent was staking purple gear, he would do the same.

Xiao Ze’s laughter brightened even more. She looked extraordinarily beautiful, causing a flood of salivating emoticons to flood the live chat.

A battle flag appeared between the two as a countdown began to display.

“May the best man win,” Dark Grape said, bowing.

“Don’t worry, you will learn,” Li Yao replied, returning the bow. Despite the abrasive words, he still maintained the courtesies usually reserved for a sporting competition, “Seems like you like using a bow; I’ll use one, too.”

“I’m ready.” The rage in Dark Grape had built up to volcanic proportions. As the countdown was nearing its end, he already had an arrow notched onto his bow.

Thirty yards away, Li Yao did not make any movement; he even kept his bow on his back without taking it down.

“Such an arrogant person.” Even Ozawa couldn’t help commenting on Li Yao’s posture.

“Mew, showing off again.” Zhao Lei grumbled.

“You’re just jealous. If you’re capable, you should do the same.” The Guardian Angel is still upset about the private money issue.

“Huh, a single ‘handsome’ is enough to describe my life, do I need to be jealous?” Zhao Lei scoffed.

3-2-1-0, start!

Whosh…

The instant the countdown finished, Dark Grape abruptly loosened his grip, sending the arrow from his hand flying out.

Swoosh…

Everyone watched as the arrow flew past Li Yao’s neck. Li Yao didn’t even flinch, not receiving any harm.

“You had a chance to hit me, but you didn’t take it. Soon, you won’t be able to hit me with a single arrow. However, since you’ve paid your tuition in full, I’ll teach you three basic moves that every hunter must master. The first one is evasive awareness.”

“You’re crossing the line.”

Dark Grape’s grip tightened on his longbow, his veins visible due to his anger: “Well, then I won’t hold back.”

No room for niceties now, his only desire was to turn his opponent into a porcupine.

Dark Grape once again expertly nocked his bow.

Arcane shot!

All everyone saw was Li Yao’s neck jerk, his body not moving at all.

It looked as if the arrow illuminated by arcane glow had passed right through

Li Yao’s head.

Missed!

Dark Grape quickly drew another arrow.

Swoosh…

This time, Li Yao slowly took a step.

Yes, the arrow was very fast, but in the audience’s view, Li Yao had taken a step and Dark Grape’s arrow had just passed through where his leg was originally. Dark Grape was also full of disbelief, but he nocked another arrow and shot it out fiercely.

However, everyone saw Li Yao do a bridge pose, and the arrow flew past the tip of his nose.

“This is impossible.”

Dark Grape looked at his hands, finding it hard to believe that he was the one who had shot these arrows, and he was someone who could hit a willow leaf a hundred steps away…

“****, it’s all an act.”

“What the hell, no wonder he is so arrogant, he’s just acting.”

“Damn, don’t tell me these two duelists are putting on a show and deliberately scamming us out of our coins.”

For a moment, the live broadcast chat was filled with heated discussions, and the expressions on Dark Grape’s subordinates were also full of disbelief, as if they had seen something incredible.

Ozawa took a deep breath and said, “No, this is not an act, it’s Prairie Fire accurately predicting Grape’s attack points.”

“That’s impossible, the distance between them is more than thirty yards, how could he predict it?” Dark Fire continued, “And even if he did predict it, why didn’t the boss change the attack point?”

Everyone nodded because in their view, Li Yao clearly made the evasive move first. Why didn’t the Vice President change the attack point?

“You’re not looking closely enough. Because Prairie Fire began his evasive action the moment Dark Grape released his finger, it’s not that Grape didn’t want to change, but he couldn’t.” Ozawa’s comment was startling.

“Impossible, how could he possibly know where I was going to attack before I released my hand?” Dark Grape was full of disbelief.

Because he was an archery expert, he knew that it was simply impossible…
