Chapter 375: Chapter 186: High-Speed Point Rush, He Is Making History
Dong Dongchen had the look of a petty villain who’d gotten his way.
The live chat in the stream absolutely exploded.
"I was wrong, I was wrong! Bro, I was so wrong!"
"Chen’s still the sharpest judge of talent! I’m sold!"
"Okay, you’re right, you’re right! But why are you yelling so loud?! You scared the crap out of me!"
"Chen, stop shouting! Your neighbors are gonna call management! We get it, you’re awesome!"
Dong Dongchen sat back down. Looking at the screen full of comments, he felt all the frustration that had built up over the past month or so melt away.
He switched back to Lin Ye’s perspective, ready to continue watching the match.
And just then, he happened to glance at the stream’s backend data out of the corner of his eye.
The next second, he froze completely.
Concurrent viewers... 500,000!
Dong Dongchen felt his breathing become erratic.
Sure, he had over six hundred thousand followers.
But the follower count was one thing. The number of concurrent viewers was a completely different concept!
For a streamer, having just one-tenth of their followers watching concurrently during a normal stream was already an incredible conversion rate.
But now, that number was nearly equal to his total follower count!
This was a peak in popularity he had never before reached in his streaming career!
As his mind reeled with excitement, he noticed that Lin Ye’s matchmaking time was taking much longer than ever before.
On the screen, the word "Matching..." flashed for over thirty seconds with no result.
Dong Dongchen’s keen instincts immediately kicked in. His expression turned serious as he spoke into the microphone in a low voice, "Alright guys, no more jokes."
"When the queue time for a ranked match suddenly gets this long, it only means one thing."
He lowered his voice, creating a sense of suspense, as if something big was about to happen.
"It means the system has determined that your skill level far exceeds your current rank. It’s digging through its database, racking its brains to find an opponent who can put you in your place!"
"I think this damn system is about to personally step in and target him!"
The moment Dong Dongchen finished speaking...
DING!
The words "Match Found" appeared.
The next moment, the matchup screen appeared in the center of the display.
The instant he saw the opponent’s ID and rank, even Dong Dongchen, who had prepared himself for a tough match, found it a bit absurd.
[Goblin Soldiers (Rank 2582) VS AllTheGoodNamesAreTaken (Rank 1329)]
The gap in their rankings was huge—one player’s rank number was almost double the other’s.
"This ID... AllTheGoodNamesAreTaken..."
Dong Dongchen frowned, rapidly searching his memory, but came up with nothing.
"I don’t recognize this ID. It must be a newcomer who just shot up the ranks, or someone changed their name."
The chat exploded again.
"Holy shit! That rank difference is insane! The system really is out to get him!"
"Rank 1300-something! That’s already one of the top players in the Martial Arts New Star Sequence, right?!"
"There’s no way he can one-shot this guy, right? If he gets another one-shot kill, I’m going to start questioning my reality!"
The battle began.
The map was a gloomy, ancient tomb. Narrow corridors and stone coffins were everywhere, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
Lin Ye’s opponent was a young man wielding two daggers. His figure flickered in and out of sight in the dim passageway, as if he had merged with the surrounding shadows.
The moment the countdown ended, the young man vanished on the spot without the slightest hesitation, transforming into a wisp of black smoke.
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.
’Interesting.’
He could sense that his opponent’s Martial Arts Spirituality seemed related to shadows and speed. It was somewhat similar to Ye Qi, specializing in stealth and assassination.
Just as Lin Ye was pondering this, a cold blade suddenly stabbed out from the shadows beside him, aiming straight for his temple!
Lin Ye didn’t even turn his head. He simply tilted it back slightly.
The deadly strike grazed the tips of his hair, severing a few strands.
His attack having missed, the young man merged back into the shadows and vanished once more.
Immediately after, dozens of flashing blades lit up from all directions, cutting off all of Lin Ye’s escape routes from bizarre and treacherous angles.
Every flash of the blades carried the incredibly condensed Gang Sha of a Martial Artist at the Mid-stage of the Condensing Gang Realm, making them sharp to the extreme.
For the first time, a flicker of change appeared on Lin Ye’s expression.
He realized that once the rankings broke into the top 1,500, the strength of his opponents increased dramatically.
They were on a completely different level from his previous opponents.
’Although, in my eyes, he’s still not much. He’s not even as good as that buffoon Lu Jiuxiao from before.’
But it was clear that these opponents were at least qualified to exchange a few moves with him. They were no longer the kind of fodder that could be obliterated with a single casual punch.
Faced with the sky full of flashing blades, Lin Ye finally stopped being overconfident.
His right hand reached back.
CLANG!
The clear ring of a spear echoed through the dark tomb.
The spear that countless viewers had been longing to see was finally in Lin Ye’s hand!
The instant he drew the Star-Piercing Spear, Lin Ye flicked his wrist.
There were no flashy moves, no burst of Qi and Blood.
He simply thrust the spear forward.
A plain and simple straight thrust.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The sky full of flashing blades, the opponent moving at maximum speed, who had become almost an afterimage—all of it shattered like a soap bubble before this single spear thrust.
The young man named "AllTheGoodNamesAreTaken" stumbled out of the shadows. A tiny, bloody hole had appeared between his eyebrows.
The expression on his face was frozen in disbelief.
The next second, his body dissolved into a stream of light.
This time, although Lin Ye had used his weapon, it was still a one-hit kill!
In the stream, the audience was stunned for a moment, then erupted with an even more ferocious wave of comments.
