Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 285 Yun Kai vs. Xie Yixiao

Yun Kai's challenge has always been one of the most anticipated challenges by the audience.

The professional players he might challenge are also a hot topic among fans.

There were many possible outcomes from the discussion, but no one expected that Yun Kai would choose Xie Yixiao.

Xie Yixiao is not only one of the top ten All-Stars, but also the strongest Thunder Mage in the league.

Xie Yixiao's refined demon spirit was a ninth-tier lightning demon. Although a ninth-tier demon spirit was of a high level, in the Glory Alliance, where geniuses were everywhere, it was only considered decent, far less powerful and precious than the earth-ranked demon spirits refined by Ye Xing and others. However, he became one of the top ten all-stars thanks to his lightning control technique, a skill possessed by all lightning mages.

Xie Yixiao, who loves to joke and is always smiling, may seem a bit unserious, but he is a recognized talent.

Today, thirty-five rookies are challenging professional players. Four of them, including Ye Qiu, have challenged the top ten All-Stars, but none of them dare to challenge Xie Yixiao.

The title of the strongest lightning mage is no joke.

Yun Kai is the most anticipated rookie among the thirteen teams, according to fan votes.

Yun Kai may not have as much attention or popularity as Lin Feng, but he is the most beloved by fans.

Lin Feng's fans are somewhat polarized; those who like him really like him, and those who hate him really hate him.

But Yun Kai is different. From three-year-old children to eighty-year-old grandfathers, young and old, men and women, few people dislike this tall man who is exceptionally talented and has a bright future, but whose childhood was tragic.

As the possessor of the ancestral demonic transformation, Yun Kai's information is familiar even to ordinary people who are not martial artists.

Yun Kai possesses the talent of ancestral demonic transformation, having refined the Golden Lion King from the Earth Ranking, and possesses two innate abilities: "Golden Transformation" and "Sword Control Technique." This gives Yun Kai multiple combat styles, but his fighting style primarily leans towards that of a warrior.

Warriors are at a disadvantage when challenging mages, and it's rare for newcomers to do so. It's almost always warriors challenging warriors or mages challenging warriors. Moreover, a warrior with the metal element is easily countered when challenging a lightning mage.

If Yun Kai wants to demonstrate his strength, the last person he should challenge is a lightning mage.

It's even more inappropriate to challenge Xie Yixiao.

Many people believe that even if Yun Kai is exceptionally talented, he doesn't have much room to showcase his abilities.

"Why did A-Kai challenge Xie Yixiao?"

Dong Yunan looked at Lin Feng and asked with some surprise.

"Hehe, do you even need to ask? It's definitely to avenge the captain!"

Yu Qiao smiled.

Yun Kai and Xie Yixiao have no conflict, but that doesn't mean Xie Yixiao and Lin Feng have no conflict.

All the team members were well aware of Yun Kai's support and admiration for Lin Feng. When Lin Feng made decisions, the others might hesitate or ask for reasons, but Yun Kai would execute them without hesitation, without asking any questions or considering any consequences.

Yu Qiao found Yun Kai's protection of Lin Feng somewhat unbelievable.

This feeling has far surpassed brotherly affection, rising to the level of kinship, and even faith.

Although she looked down on this kind of bromance, Yu Qiao was still envious deep down.

After all, who wouldn't want a brother like that?

In Yu Qiao's view, it was precisely because of his protection of Lin Feng that Yun Kai chose to challenge Xie Yixiao, hoping to defeat him.

"That kid, Ah Kai."

Lin Feng had guessed as well, and was moved, but it was clear that Yun Kai was no match for Xie Yixiao.

When challenging other opponents, even with professional players suppressing their strength and soul skills, Yun Kai might still have a chance to win. However, choosing Xie Yixiao is unlikely to result in a victory unless it's a miracle or Xie Yixiao deliberately holds back.

They might even lose miserably.

This is not only a difference in strength and experience, but also a clash between attributes and professions.

"Yes."

Under Yun Kai's battle-ready gaze, Xie Yixiao was slightly taken aback. He was also surprised that Yun Kai had chosen to challenge him, but soon a smile appeared on his lips.

"Do I even need to make an appearance now?"

Standing to the side, Xu Luofei of the Feng Huo team was also surprised to hear Yun Kai choose to challenge Xie Yixiao, but he breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for repaying a favor, he really wouldn't want to offend Lin Feng.

Although Lin Feng is no match for him, his talent is extraordinary, and he might catch up in a few years. Offending a future powerhouse is obviously not a good thing.

"No need then, the favor will remain."

He said something to his friend beside him, and amidst the cheers of the fans, Xie Yixiao suddenly appeared in the center of the stage, less than five meters away from Yun Kai. At that moment, his figure in the previous position slowly disappeared like a phantom.

His instantaneous entrance demonstrated the power of the First Thunder Mage, and also made the cheers even more enthusiastic.

"Yun Kai, there are thirty professional players here. Why did you choose to challenge Xie Yixiao? You should know that Xie Yixiao is one of the top ten all-stars and is recognized as the number one Thunder Mage."

As is customary, host Chen Xiaodi asked the question.

This is also a question that viewers want to know.

As is customary, the host asks questions, and the rookie usually explains the reason while also expressing admiration and respect for the challenger. Then, the older, more experienced professional players will give the rookie some affirmation and encouragement.

The previous challenges were all the same. As expected, just when everyone thought Yun Kai would say something humble but polite, Yun Kai stood still and didn't say a word.

"broken!"

The host, Chen Xiaodi, looked at Yun Kai, waiting for his reply, but there was no response for a long time.

Yun Kai remained silent!

I won't tell!

But Yun Kai's eyes conveyed his emotions.

It doesn't seem very friendly.

At least, it wasn't a sign of respect. Yun Kai's silence made the atmosphere on stage suddenly awkward. The host, Chen Xiaodi, had hosted three opening ceremonies before, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Usually, newcomers would exchange a few polite words. She looked at Yun Kai and gave him a slight nod, but Yun Kai seemed not to see it and showed no intention of speaking.

At this moment, not only the host, but also the audience sensed something unusual.

There seems to be a hint of gunpowder in the air.

"Has Yun Kai gone mad? Why isn't he saying anything?"

"Something's off about that look in his eyes."

"Yun Kai seems to be dissatisfied. Why is he going after Xie Yixiao?"

"Even with the talent of reverting to ancestral demonic transformation, isn't he a bit too arrogant? He doesn't even put Xie Yixiao in his eyes."

"Something's not right. Maybe there's some conflict, otherwise Yun Kai wouldn't be so disrespectful," the audience murmured.

Chen Xiaodi's eyes changed slightly, but his expression remained largely the same. He quickly smiled and said:
"It seems that the audience's cheers were too enthusiastic, making Yun Kai a little nervous. Okay, let's let Yun Kai calm down for a while."

At this point, Chen Xiaodi looked at Xie Yixiao. Xie Yixiao's smile had vanished, his face expressionless. Chen Xiaodi inwardly cursed, but he could only bite the bullet and ask:

"Let's first ask Xie Yixiao, as a senior, what he wants to say about Yun Kai challenging him?"

silence!

Silence again.

Xie Yixiao seemed not to hear the host's question and retaliated against Yun Kai in the same way.

Furthermore, compared to Yun Kai's emotionless gaze, Xie Yixiao's disdain was not overtly concealed on the high-definition screen.

Everything is self-evident.

At this moment, Chen Xiaodi smiled bitterly to herself. The conflict between the two was already very obvious. She did not try to explain anything further and directly announced, "The competition begins."

The tension between Yun Kai and Xie Yixiao did not froze the atmosphere; instead, it made the audience even more excited, and the atmosphere even more heated and restless.

While the previous matches were exciting, they were all rather superficial and lacked a certain passion.

Conflict is what makes something interesting.

Although they didn't know what conflict Yun Kai and Xie Yixiao had, they could foresee that this match would be even more exciting.

As the competition was announced to begin, accompanied by a roar, Yun Kai was the first to enter his demonic transformation state, his hair growing wildly, his hair was very thick and hard, like a lion's mane.

With a series of crackling sounds, Yun Kai's height broke through 2.3 meters. His granite-like muscles expanded and grew larger again, as if cast in gold. Dark gold patterns, like veins, flowed all over his body, which was extremely shocking. His original brown eyes turned dark gold.

At this moment, Yun Kai was like a golden war god, his originally calm eyes filled with a hint of wildness and savagery.

Yun Kai in his demonic transformation state was so domineering that the audience went wild. The unprecedented cheers, like a landslide and a tsunami, seemed to break through the roof.

After Yun Kai transformed into a demon, Xie Yixiao remained motionless, standing in place without entering the demon transformation state, his eyes calmly fixed on Yun Kai.

It was as if they didn't care at all.

A fierce glint flashed in Yun Kai's eyes. He stepped onto the ground and appeared in front of Xie Yixiao. His dark golden hair danced in the air, and his fists and shoulders shimmered with golden light. He slightly retracted, and then thrust out like a spear in an instant, unstoppable!
Faced with this attack, lightning flashed beneath Xie Yixiao's feet, his body trembled, and he suddenly appeared behind Yun Kai. Yun Kai's swift and seemingly unstoppable attack failed to reach Xie Yixiao at all.

Xie Yixiao remained calm, yet exuded a condescending air, allowing Yun Kai to attack while he merely dodged, constantly appearing around Yun Kai at a distance of no more than two meters.

In the eyes of the audience, Yun Kai not only couldn't touch Xie Yixiao's clothes, but sometimes couldn't even find Xie Yixiao's location, like a headless fly.

Xie Yixiao seemed to be deliberately toying with Yun Kai, only dodging instead of attacking, playing a cat-and-mouse game.

"Yi Xiao really doesn't give me any face at all."

Ye Xing frowned slightly in the audience.

In rookie challenge matches, professional players, as seniors, will deliberately go easy on rookies, giving them ample opportunity to perform. This is a well-known unspoken rule.

Just like now, he could have easily entered a berserk state and defeated Ye Qiu in a short time, but he didn't do so.

He would even cooperate in order to give Ye Qiu a chance to showcase his abilities.

It's rare for professional players to deny rookies a chance to perform, let alone toy with them at this point.

Even if Xie Yixiao wins the game, no one will cheer because of his current performance.

Yun Kai's fans will be furious.

Xie Yixiao's fans also felt that their idol was not generous enough and was petty.

Not only Ye Xing, but even Hua Jun, the coach, frowned.

If Yun Kai were replaced by Lin Feng, he wouldn't have any objections. Lin Feng had tricked Ju Xing, and teaching him a lesson was part of his plan.

Yun Kai is not only exceptionally talented and widely recognized as the future Glory Child, but also the audience's favorite rookie. Even though Xie Yixiao is one of the top ten All-Stars, it is clearly not a good thing for him to play tricks on Yun Kai like this.

It does not benefit their image at all.

Yun Kai might also harbor resentment towards Ju Xing because of this. Ultimately, Ju Xing still hopes that Yun Kai can join in the future.

"Damn Xie Yixiao, I'll fuck his ass one day."

Seeing Yun Kai being so thoroughly mocked, Yu Qiao cursed and swore.

Yu Qiao felt both fear and some displeasure towards the domineering Lin Feng, but few people disliked the easygoing and good-natured Yun Kai.

Seeing Yun Kai being so thoroughly mocked, Yu Qiao became extremely angry.

Not only Yu Qiao, but also Yue Mingming and Dong Xiaomei are the same.

Lin Feng, however, remained calm, simply watching Xie Yixiao with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
