Chapter 455 - 180: The Atmosphere Has Come to This, You Say You’re Joking with Me?_2
In that instant, Li Yuan’s eyes erupted with an astonishing brilliance, his expression one of pure disbelief.
The two highland towers Qi Siyu had built were massive, round, and splendidly white. It was obvious a vast amount of resources had gone into their maintenance. They felt completely different from the highland towers of Xia Zhijin, Bai Weixi, and Zhong Tingyue.
Suddenly, he understood there was some merit to the sayings ’bigger is better’ and ’size is king.’
Without experiencing it firsthand, one simply could not appreciate that special "D++" flavor...
Controlling Han Xin, Li Yuan’s fingers flew. In a flash, he executed three consecutive displacements, his hero transforming into a spear that reaped lives like grass. In a heartbeat, he had effortlessly slaughtered all the minions and jungle creeps guarding the two highland towers.
With no jungle creeps or minions to block him, it was as if he had broken through some kind of restraint. In an instant, the two magnificent highland towers were completely exposed, revealing their sturdiness, purity, fullness, and grandeur to the outside world.
Seeing such imposing highland towers, Li Yuan felt immense pressure. His fingers flew across the screen as he immediately began his forceful assault on them. These were the last line of defense before the crystal. Only by taking them down could he achieve ultimate victory by shattering the opponent’s Nexus and conquering the source of their life.
I’ve got to personally try these rare highland towers and see how they’re different from the others...
When Li Yuan moved in, intending to taste the highland towers for himself...
Qi Siyu suddenly trembled, her face turning crimson as her whole body began to burn.
Overwhelmed by Li Yuan’s exceptional solo skills, she had been slaughtered and left in disarray. Now, her bewildered brain abruptly regained a trace of clarity.
"Li Yuan, don’t..." Qi Siyu murmured softly, trying to turn the tide.
Facing impending defeat in this solo match, she frantically mustered her remaining heroes and minions, even using shattered equipment hidden in the bushes to block Li Yuan’s advance.
Li Yuan paid her no mind, refusing to let up his fiery assault. He continued to use powerful offensive skills to attack Qi Siyu’s highland towers. He understood the logic: you press your advantage against a cornered enemy; you don’t hesitate for the sake of reputation. With victory in sight, poised to seize the crystal and claim another win, how could he possibly pull back now? A solo match was like that—all or nothing. The battle would only end when one side’s crystal was shattered, granting ultimate victory.
Soon, one of the towering, snow-white, magnificent highland towers was forcefully conquered by Li Yuan, and the bright red flag of victory was planted upon its peak.
Freeing up his forces, he immediately divided his attention. One hand continued commanding Han Tiaotiao to assault the other highland tower, while the other took control of his ace hero, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong.
He wielded his As You Wish, Sea-Calming Needle Jingu Bang, leaping past the highland tower and over the endless jungle wilderness. He went straight for the final crystal, attempting to reclaim the Fairyland known as the Water Curtain Cave in Heaven, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Grottoes.
"Halt, fiend! Taste my cudgel!"
With a shout, Li Yuan unleashed his Ace Skill, Monkey Three Sticks, instantly breaking through the layers of resistance and arriving before the final boss.
When the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Sun Wukong arrived at the entrance of her Shuilian Cave, Qi Siyu grew flustered. She abandoned the defense of her last highland tower to hastily gather her remaining forces to protect her crystal. Once the crystal was shattered, the solo match would be utterly lost.
"Li Yuan, wait, I’m not ready! Just give me another chance."
"Li Yuan, you’re playing dirty! That was a sneak attack! I don’t accept this loss."
"Uhh, stop! I was just teasing you, making a joke. Take your hand off, quickly!"
Seeing the match slipping away, Qi Siyu quickly begged for mercy, trying to disrupt Li Yuan’s strategic decisions.
Li Yuan was speechless. I’m about to assault the crystal, and now you’re telling me you were just teasing? That it was all a joke? You wanted a practice match? Who even lies like that?
"AHEM. Qi Siyu, stop talking and focus!" Li Yuan said lightly.
We’re in the middle of an intense solo match. What kind of hero backs out at the last second?
Qi Siyu was truly panicked. She could feel her crystal being relentlessly attacked. This was the first time since she was a child, even after completing her post-graduate studies, that an opponent had managed to lay siege to her crystal.
"Li Yuan, please, stop it!"
Qi Siyu’s voice held a hint of a sob. She was genuinely scared, her beautiful face pale and colorless, all of her earlier sexy, bold spirit gone.
She really had just wanted to test the waters, to see what this university-renowned playboy and wealthy, second-generation genius was made of. Who knew she’d end up getting in so far over her head?
Li Yuan also felt something was off. Qi Siyu’s crystal seemed untouched by others. The entrance to the Water Curtain Cave in Heaven was tightly sealed, as if a thin protective shield was stopping the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, the Monkey King... He had felt this same sensation with Xia Zhijin, Bai Weixi, and Zhong Tingyue.
A chill ran through Li Yuan. He immediately stopped his attack, a terrible thought dawning on him.
Li Yuan looked at Qi Siyu in disbelief. "Mrs. Qi, you... you’ve never been in a relationship before?"
