Fiery Queen stared at her destroyed badge with a dazed face. Although she sustained almost no physical damage during the Faction War, the damage dealt to her mentally was immense and profound.
This overwhelming sense of defeat and helplessness made her recall their previous confrontation and how he slaughtered all of the exiles. Tears began flowing from Fiery Queen's eyes, but Yuan did not linger to watch her weep and was already walking away.
Despite the Demon Sealing Faction—Yuan's overwhelming victory, nobody in the crowd cheered, and the place was so silent that a pin drop could be heard from miles away.
Eventually, Yan Xiaoxiao broke the silence by announcing the winner, "T-the winner of this Faction War is Demon Sealing Faction! Or should I say Player Yuan, who single-handedly defeated 600,000 players by himself!" Yan Xiaoxiao quickly appeared in the arena and sprinted to Yuan, fearing that he might leave before she could interview him.
"Congratulations on the Demon Sealing Faction's second victory! With this momentous victory, the Demon Sealing Faction is now ranked 5th in the world! I'm sure the speed of your rise broke several records, but we can talk about that later. Right now, I want to know what you have to say!"
Yuan grabbed the microphone and spoke calmly, "I see a lot of disappointed people in the audience. Were you expecting something else? I'm sorry if I disappointed you, but I warned you the last time—never bet against me." "Anyway, I've had enough fun of Faction Wars for now, so I will no longer be participating in them. With that said, if you wish to challenge the Demon Sealing Faction, I'm sure the other members will be more than willing to entertain you."
Yuan returned the microphone to Yan Xiaoxiao before walking out of the arena.
The spectators remained silent, trying to comprehend what they had just witnessed. Given the absurdity of everything, many wondered if they had somehow logged into Cultivation Online without realizing it. Although the members of the Demon Sealing Faction tried to look calm, they were also inwardly shocked. They had never seen Yuan fight so fiercely, even during their training.
"I knew there was a wide gap between us, but I didn't think it was this ridiculous…" Shi Lang muttered in a dazed voice. "Forget about the Faction War. He can probably conquer the world with those techniques."
"I wouldn't doubt it." Wang Ming smiled.
After the Faction War concluded, topics on the subject began spreading online like wildfire.
[Even though the Faction War ended already, I still cannot believe it ended so fast.]
[I waited an entire month for this Faction War, and the Fiery Garden of Hell was defeated in less than half an hour—only because Player Yuan waited 20 minutes for them to reach him!]
Controversies on whether Yuan should be allowed to participate in future Faction Wars also began filling up the internet.
[Player Yuan is too powerful! He needs to be banned from future Faction Wars to keep things entertaining and fair!]
[Player Yuan is too much! He's too arrogant! Fiery Queen did not deserve to be bullied like that!]
Most spectators who watched Yuan's Faction War felt an indescribable sensation after the match. It was a feeling they were not familiar with. Gradually, they began to recognize that feeling as existential fear.
