Chapter 1578 Fighting the Fiery Garden of Hell
"I was really hoping you didn’t show up so we could have some fun," Wang Ming remarked as Yuan and his group arrived.
"Sorry, but I really need to do this alone," Yuan said with an apologetic smile.
"It’s fine, but we have the next one!"
"Of course."
As they made their way to the arena, their group drew the attention of everyone they passed, like a group of celebrities.
"Look! The Demon Sealing Faction is finally here!"
"It looks like their entire faction will be present for this Faction War!"
"That’s only natural. They’re against the Fiery Garden of Hell, after all. Even Player Yuan won’t be able to fight so many players alone." "Who knows? With the new changes, anything’s possible."
"No, it’ll definitely be much more difficult for Player Yuan if everyone can use deadly techniques."
"I’m sure Player Yuan has some ridiculously powerful attacks that can wipe out thousands of players in the blink of an eye."
"Even if that’s the case, I doubt he would be able to use those techniques too much before running out of Qi."
The people speculated and debated on their Faction War, unaware that Yuan was planning to fight the Fiery Garden of Hell alone.
Meanwhile, the Fiery Garden of Hell was already gathering inside the new and improved arena.
The arena was expanded several times its original size, and hazardous areas, such as a river of real lava and deadly traps, were spread throughout it.
The arena itself could easily accommodate ten million players at once, so there was plenty of room for even the largest factions to go wild.
Due to the formation that prevents death and serious injuries, the technique evaluation was no longer required, making Faction Wars more accessible and exciting.
A record number of people showed up to spectate the Faction War between the Demon Sealing Faction and the Fiery Garden of Hell, not to mention the number of people watching from home and other places.
At this moment, more than half of the world tuned in to watch the Faction Warto see how the Demon Sealing Faction would deal with the Fiery Garden of Hell and its impressive number of players.
"I’ve been waiting for you, Yuan!" Chairman Lee’s face brightened like a lightbulb after seeing Yuan and the rest of the Demon Sealing Faction.
"Do I have to do anything before we can start the Faction War?" Yuan asked.
"No, we can start once it’s time." Yuan nodded and said, "Then I’ll make my way to the arena."
"Good luck, brother." Yu Rou said to him.
The others followed, but Chairman Lee’s eyebrows raised when the Demon Sealing Faction also started saying it.
Seeing Chairman Lee’s puzzled face, Wang Ming said, "Only Yuan will be participating in the Faction War. We’re just here as spectators."
"W-what?! You intend on fighting the Fiery Garden of Hell alone?! All 600,000 of them?!" Chairman Lee’s eyes widened with shock as he asked Yuan.
"Yes, I do." Yuan calmly acknowledged.
"B-but... that’s..." Chairman Lee was at a loss for words. He couldn’t imagine how someone could fight so many people at oncenot even someone like Yuan.
Yuan smiled and said, "There’s a reason I created the formation. Of course, I wanted to make Faction Wars safer for everyone, but it’s also so I can fight with fewer restrictions."
"..."
Chairman Lee still couldn’t find any words.
Yuan continued walking to the exit, quickly disappearing from the waiting room. Meifeng followed him since she had to be the ruler.
"He’s serious?" Chairman Lee uttered in a dazed voice.
"He never jokes around in these sorts of situations." Wang Ming chuckled.
Sometime later, Yuan appeared in the arena. When the spectators saw this, the entire stadium erupted with cheering.
However, the cheering quickly quieted once the spectators realized only two members from the Demon Sealing Faction were present.
"Huh? Where’s the rest of the members?" Someone asked out loud.
"Maybe they couldn’t show up, just like the last Faction War?"
"That’s impossible. I saw the entire Demon Sealing Faction at the airport. They’re definitely here."
"So where the hell are they? The match’s about to begin in ten minutes."
"L-look over there! The rest of the Demon Sealing Faction members are in the spectator’s area!" Someone suddenly shouted, his arm pointed at a specific location in the stadium meant for VIPs.
"No way... they’re here as spectators? Does this mean Player Yuan wants to fight the Fiery Garden of Hell alone?! That’s crazy!"
"Hahaha! His arrogance knows no bounds!"
"Are the Fiery Garden of Hell aware of this?"
"We’ll find out soon."
Yuan, who showed up alone in the arena to face the Fiery Garden of Hell, shocked every spectator watching. Nobody knew what he was trying to achieve or what his thought process was, but many people were mad.
"Fuck! I can’t believe I woke up early for this shit!"
"I can’t believe I actually bet money on the Demon Sealing Faction’s victory! What was I thinking?!"
After realizing that Yuan planned to fight the Fiery Garden of Hell alone, many people became desperate. They gambled the rest of their money on the Fiery Garden of Hell’s victory, hoping to recoup some of their losses.
Meanwhile, Fiery Queen had someone scout the arena using a scouting technique. "What? Only Player Yuan is on the field, excluding the ruler?" Fiery Queen couldn’t believe what she was hearing and had the scouter do it again.
Yet, the scout reconfirmed that Yuan was alone.
"That bastard actually dares to face us alone? How much does he intend to look down on me?!" Fiery Queen gritted her teeth in anger instead of feeling relieved that he was alone.
Five minutes before the match, a familiar voice resounded through the broadcasting speakers.
"Hello, everyone! It’s me, Yan Xiaoxiao, and I will be the commentator for this Faction War!"
"Before we start, I would like to announce that the highly anticipated ’Demon Sealing Faction Interview’ will be released after this Faction War is concluded, so stay tuned for that!"
