Chapter 1 The PK

The spectating players thought that Tang Yao was dead after taking three Flame Bursts, even if he was only affected by the shockwaves.

After the flames swept through, Tang Yao's body was nowhere to be seen.

Divine King was slightly stunned. The Flame Burst missed?

"He's over there!" A soft exclamation came from the crowd. They shouldn't have interrupted this PK, but the Flame Burst had attracted everyone's attention. Their minds were completely captivated. Suddenly seeing this change, they couldn't help but cry out. However, this voice didn't have much impact on the battle. Divine King reacted even faster!

Without anyone noticing, Tang Yao had already appeared to the right rear of Divine King. With a wave of his staff, a Qi Burst Technique sent a strong gust of energy outwards, centered on Tang Yao.

Seeing that he was about to be hit by the Qi Burst Technique, Divine King reacted quickly, preparing to use Blink to dodge it. A mere Qi Burst Technique couldn't hit him! Divine King appeared calm and composed.

Magic Imprisonment!

Tang Yao waved his staff, the nebula at the top swirling around it.

Divine King was just about to use Blink when he suddenly realized that the Blink spell had dimmed and couldn't be used. It was too late to switch to another spell. With a muffled thud, he took a heavy hit from the Qi Burst Technique. The powerful shockwave pierced through Divine King's body, causing over 20,000 damage and leaving him crippled.

Tang Yao's spell connections were as smooth as flowing water. Although they were just a few of the simplest skills, when combined, they managed to restrain a peak powerhouse like Divine King!

If Divine King hadn't been so eager to know the result of the Flame Burst, he wouldn't have lost his focus for that split second. If Tang Yao had released Imprisonment first, Divine King could have reacted in time and escaped with another skill, even without Blink.

Tang Yao had accurately predicted this. He first used a Qi Burst Technique, and seeing this, Divine King naturally thought of using Blink. This was almost a subconscious reaction. Every expert developed a kind of conditioned reflex during PK. Just as Divine King was about to use Blink, he was suddenly imprisoned and unable to use it. Switching to another spell was too late, and he was hit by the sweeping Qi Burst Technique.

Divine King was, after all, a long-established expert. The fact that he was restrained by two very ordinary spells stunned the outside players. When they carefully recalled the battle scene just now, they understood the key and were shocked. Who could dodge such a combination of Qi Burst Technique + Imprisonment? In a first encounter, 99 out of 100 people would be hit, even peak-level players were no exception!

Divine King would probably be crippled for about two seconds. How could Tang Yao let this hard-won opportunity pass? An Arcane Burst Fireball was launched. The fireball, about the size of a ball, flew towards Divine King. With a loud bang, the exploding flames splashed in all directions. Divine King was sent flying by the powerful shockwave, thrown out of the arena, causing over 30,000 damage, and fell to the ground.

Angel Corps lost again. The players of the two major factions were already used to it. They couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "The Nirvanic Flame's bunch of freaks!" For Angel Corps to provoke Nirvanic Flame was simply asking for trouble!

Even an expert like Divine King had been defeated. Angel Corps still had one more chance. Almost everyone focused their attention on Duo Duo.

Would the president of Angel Corps take the field?

At this moment, Duo Duo only had two choices. First, to enter the arena and face Tang Yao and the others. Facing a gauntlet of nine opponents, the odds were probably against him. Second, to become a laughingstock. If he didn't enter the arena at this time, he would definitely be considered a coward by the players, and Angel Corps could forget about raising its head in the future!

Everyone looked at Duo Duo, waiting for his decision. Duo Duo was a Spellbinder, and the Spellbinder class was very niche, not a mainstream powerful class. Did Duo Duo really think he could turn the tide alone? Everyone felt it was very unlikely.

Tang Yao and the others also focused their attention on Duo Duo. This was their ultimate goal. The previous matches were just appetizers!

The atmosphere in the arena was a bit strange. The players were discussing privately. At this time, probably no one was optimistic about Duo Duo. No matter how powerful the Dark Parliament Speaker was, he had to face nine top-level experts from Nirvanic Flame. Although it was one-on-one, playing nine consecutive matches, the possibility of losing one was very high.

This PK touched the hearts of countless players from the two major factions. Having fought to this point, everyone thought that Angel Corps had no chance. The players on the side of the Light Faction were all elated. They originally felt that the talents of the Dark Faction were slightly higher than those of the Light Faction, which was a bit unfair, but now, they had no complaints at all. It turned out that the Light Faction was so much stronger than the Dark Faction! As for the Dark Faction, especially Angel Corps, they were almost cursing. The number one undead warrior, the number one undead mage, the number one swordsman, had all been defeated so miserably. What hope did they have?

Just then, the focus of the entire arena, Duo Duo, said something to the people around him. Those few people nodded and went to do something.

Duo Duo understood that if he relied on his existing skills and equipment to fight this group of people from Nirvanic Flame, he should be able to win the first two easily. By the third, the Nirvanic Flame group would basically have figured out his tactics. At that time, it would be hard to say who would win or lose. He estimated that he could win at most five matches, which would be very impressive. So he sent someone to bring all the equipment from the Angel Corps guild warehouse and all the top Spellbinders in the guild. He would change a set of equipment after a few matches. Maybe there was still a glimmer of hope!

Duo Duo walked into the PK arena and stood at one end. He had a calm expression, and didn't seem to have the imposing manner of an expert.

The people of the two major factions were in an uproar. The president of Angel Corps had finally been forced to take the field!

Tang Yao and the others were discussing something offstage.

"This guy is finally down here. Who should we send up first?" Tang Yao asked. Although he didn't know how strong Duo Duo was, the title of Dark Parliament Speaker was extraordinary. They should strategically underestimate the enemy, but tactically take the enemy seriously, so they were very cautious.

"Let's send someone up to probe first, to find out his details!" Radiant Glow said, glancing at everyone around him. The nine of them were evenly matched. It seemed that it was about the same no matter who went up.

"I'll go first. Anyway, it's about the same no matter who goes. Let me test this guy's strength." Water Color Smoker smiled slightly.

"Alright." Radiant Glow said. Water Color Smoker ranked among the top five in their group. It probably wouldn't be easy for Duo Duo to beat him. Maybe Water Color Smoker would suddenly erupt and kill Duo Duo, and Angel Corps would really be embarrassed.

Water Color Smoker walked towards the PK arena.

Duo Duo was very mysterious and rarely appeared in front of players. No one knew how strong he really was. This was his first battle, and the players were naturally very concerned.

Could Water Color Smoker win against Duo Duo? The players discussed among themselves.

Seeing Water Color Smoker enter the arena, Duo Duo said, "The person I admire most in my life is the former Mad Rogue Nie Yan. The Mad Rogue Nie Yan was indeed impressive back then. If he hadn't been offline for three years, I would definitely have lost if I had fought him. I didn't expect that three years later, the group of people he brought out would still be so amazing. I deeply admire them. I won't be holding back today. If Mad Rogue Nie Yan ever returns to his peak, please tell him for me that I'm always waiting and willing to fight him!"

Hearing Duo Duo's words, the players of the two major factions couldn't help but start talking. They didn't expect Duo Duo, as the president of the Angel Corps, to say that the person he admired most was Mad Rogue Nie Yan. This was a bit surprising. But thinking back to that time, it was indeed true. Mad Rogue Nie Yan was an immortal legend!

Water Color Smoker heard the hint of arrogance in Duo Duo's words, but didn't take it to heart. He smiled faintly and said, "If you want to challenge Mad Rogue Nie Yan, you have to get past us first. If you can defeat us, Mad Rogue Nie Yan will naturally come looking for you!"

"I will naturally make you convinced!" Duo Duo said, with a black Phoebe zhennan staff in his right hand. It wasn't the scepter he usually used.

Nie Yan watched the video, lost in thought. Water Color Smoker, Radiant Glow, and the others had basically fought one match. Duo Duo should have a general understanding of their strength. Now he had replaced the scepter of the Dark Parliament Speaker with an unseen Chaos-grade Phoebe zhennan staff. He was probably trying to hide some of his strength.

Nie Yan understood Duo Duo. With a personality like his, he would never do anything he wasn't sure of. Since he had replaced the scepter, it proved that Duo Duo didn't intend to go all out in the first few matches. It looked like he was confident in winning!

Nie Yan frowned. Unfortunately, his level was so low that he couldn't participate in that level of combat at all. He couldn't help but feel a little worried and depressed.

"The match begins."

Hearing this voice, Water Color Smoker and Duo Duo moved at the same time.

Duo Duo cast a shield on himself. Streaks of black lightning swirled and danced around him, forming an oval shield.

Judgment Triple Slash!

Water Color Smoker didn't hold back either. He used his strongest skill right away. Three giant sword energies, carrying an overwhelming aura, slashed down towards Duo Duo.

Seeing Water Color Smoker's Judgment Triple Slash coming down, Duo Duo didn't panic. He took a few steps back, moved his staff, and a dark aura surged from the ground. A Dark Succubus appeared in everyone's sight.

A Dark Succubus was one of the intermediate summoning creatures. It had no lethality to a player of Water Color Smoker's level.

The Dark Succubus had decent movement speed and defense, but its attack wasn't great. Even if an intermediate summoning creature had a strong defense and a lot of health, it might not be able to withstand Water Color Smoker's powerful blow. Moreover, Water Color Smoker had a mental shock effect that completely suppressed pets. What was Duo Duo doing summoning a Dark Succubus at this time?
