Chapter 373: Chapter 185: Explosive Popularity, Return of the King
For a moment, the entire stream’s barrage of comments came to a standstill.
Then, an absolute tsunami of messages flooded the screen!
"Holy shit!?"
"It really is him! Didn’t this guy fall off the face of the earth?"
"I heard he couldn’t climb the ranks anymore—that he’d hit a bottleneck and stopped playing."
"Hold on, newbie here. Who is this guy? Is he famous? Why is everyone talking about him?"
"Goblin Soldiers? What kind of name is that? Sounds totally lame!"
In the stream, some of Dong Dongchen’s longtime fans immediately became lore masters, beginning to tell the new viewers about the glorious deeds behind that ID.
"The newbies don’t know? This guy is a monster! Chen got absolutely thrashed by him back in the day, and that’s why he willingly became his number one talent scout!"
"A month ago, he burst onto the scene. The moment he joined the New Star Sequence, he went on a crazy winning streak."
"And the most classic moment is that ’Goblin sends your goddess flying’ meme—it came from him!"
"You know Ye Qingxuan, right? He ran her through from behind with his spear, leaving her dangling in mid-air. The sight of it... tsk tsk!"
At these words, the chat exploded once more.
"Holy shit! So he’s the star of that legendary scene?!"
"I only ever saw a clip of it and never knew the ID. So that was him!"
Dong Dongchen watched the scrolling comments, cleared his throat, and pulled the audience’s attention back.
"You guys guessed right. The reason my man disappeared for a month was because he went to participate in the Qiming General Star Training Camp!"
As he spoke, he directly opened Lin Ye’s match history.
On the screen, a perfectly straight column of the word [VICTORY] in bright green ran down the page, dazzling countless viewers.
"Wait a second! I’m not seeing things, am I? He was online yesterday? And... all wins?!"
"More than twenty matches! My god, this guy is still on a winning streak! Wasn’t his previous streak over 120? At this rate, isn’t he about to hit 150?"
"Terrifying!"
Dong Dongchen’s lips curled into a smirk, his unique brand of confidence and flamboyance returning in full force.
"My friends, that’s not even the scariest part."
He lowered his voice, his tone laced with a mysterious, showboating air.
"I’m telling you, for all twenty-something of his matches yesterday, no matter who he was matched with—from rank six thousand-something to rank three thousand-something—every single one..."
He paused, raising a single finger.
"One punch!!"
"He ended the fight in a single punch!!"
The chat was instantly buried under a dense wall of question marks.
"????"
"Are you still asleep, streamer? You telling stories now?"
"One punch? This isn’t a normal ranked match; this is the New Star Sequence! The only ones who can smurf here are those freaks in the top 100, right?"
"Cut the crap. Those prodigies in the top 100 can’t even get matched with players ranked that low. Smurfing is impossible in this sequence!"
"There’s a limit to bluffing, Chen!"
Just then, the online status for [Goblin Soldiers] on the screen suddenly changed to [Matching...].
A sharp glint flashed in Dong Dongchen’s eyes, and he gave a meaningful smile.
"You don’t believe me, huh? Alright! Then let’s make a little wager!"
"This fight ends in under ten seconds! If I lose, I’ll raffle off my prized, personal, autographed fan jersey from the superstar Ye Qingxuan to one of you guys in the stream!"
"But! If I win, I don’t want anything else. For those of you who haven’t followed, smash that follow button. And for any rich dudes out there with the means, a membership subscription would be great!"
As soon as he said that, the mood in the chat instantly changed.
"What the fuck! You perv! You actually collect that kind of thing!"
"You sicko! I suggest you raffle it off immediately! Know what’s good for you!"
"Raffle it now! I’ll trade ten years of my roommate being single for a win!"
The atmosphere in the stream was completely ignited.
Soon, the match was found, and the spectator view popped up.
The comments gradually thinned out as everyone began to watch the match in silence.
[Goblin Soldiers (Rank 4086) VS HungerBuster (Rank 2927)]
"HungerBuster? I know that guy. He’s a genius at the Early Stage of the Gang Condensation Realm, really strong!"
"He’s almost broken into the top three thousand. That’s already the top 30% in the New Star Sequence. There are no weaklings here!"
"A Gang Condensation Realm Martial Artist has Gang Sha Body Protection, and you’re telling me this guy can one-shot him with a punch, without a weapon?"
"I’m putting it out there! If he really one-shots a high-level opponent like that with a single punch, I’ll eat this computer screen right here and now!"
An endless torrent of comments flooded in. Almost no one believed Dong Dongchen.
Dong Dongchen looked at the comments, just sneering silently.
’Fools. You have no idea what true power is!’
Onscreen, the countdown hit zero.
The fight began!
His opponent, "HungerBuster," was clearly a hothead. With a furious roar, his long staff became a blur of afterimages, lunging toward Lin Ye with unstoppable momentum!
However, at the very same moment he launched his attack...
The figure with the Goblin Soldiers ID above his head vanished into thin air before everyone’s eyes!
The next second, the Gang Sha that had just formed around HungerBuster’s body dissipated in an instant, like a popped balloon.
Immediately after, a terrifying hole appeared on his chest, going clean through from front to back.
The expression on his face froze in that instant of shock and disbelief.
Then, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished.
[Winner: Goblin Soldiers!]
The notification announcing the end of the match sounded.
From start to finish, not even two seconds had passed.
The entire stream, with its more than one hundred thousand viewers, fell into a deathly silence.
