Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 187 Rapid Score Accumulation: He's Making History!
Dong Dongchen had a smug look on his face.

The chat room exploded with comments.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, brother!"

"Brother Chen's judgment of people is definitely more accurate! I'm impressed!"

"If you're right, then you're right. Why are you yelling so loudly? You scared me!"

"Brother Chen, stop yelling! If you keep yelling, the neighbors will call the property management! We know you're awesome!"

Dong Dongchen sat down again, looking at the screen full of comments, and felt all the frustration he had accumulated over the past month vanish.

He switched back to Lin Ye's perspective, ready to continue watching the battle.

Just then, he glanced at the data in the live stream's backend out of the corner of his eye.

The next second, he froze.

Online viewership... 50!
Dong Dongchen felt his breathing becoming somewhat disordered.

He does have over 600,000 followers, that's good.

But the number of fans is one thing, while the number of people watching online at the same time is a completely different concept!

For a streamer, having one-tenth of their fans watching online at the same time during a live stream is already an incredibly impressive conversion rate.

And now, this number is almost equal to his total number of fans!

This is the peak of popularity he has never reached in his live streaming career!
Just as he was feeling excited, he noticed that Lin Ye's matching time this time seemed to be longer than ever before.

The words "Matching" flashed on the screen for a full half minute, but nothing happened.

Dong Dongchen's keen senses were immediately triggered. He turned serious and said in a deep voice into the microphone, "Brothers, this is no joke."

"A sudden increase in the ranking time usually only means one thing."

He lowered his voice, creating an atmosphere that something big was about to happen.

"That means the system has determined that your strength far exceeds your current rank. It's racking its brains in the background database to find an opponent who can defeat you!"

"It feels like this lousy system is really going to get involved against him!"

Dong Dongchen had just finished speaking.

Ding!
The message "Match successful" appeared.

The next moment, the match schedule appeared in the center of the screen.

The moment Dong Dongchen saw his opponent's ID and ranking, even though he had prepared himself mentally, he felt it was a bit outrageous.

[Goblin Minion (2582nd place) VS All the good names have been taken by dogs (1329th place)]

The ranking gap between the two is now almost double!
"This ID... all the good names have been taken by dogs..."

Dong Dongchen frowned, frantically searching his memory, but to no avail.

"I don't recognize this ID. It must be a newcomer who just joined recently, or someone changed their name."

The live chat exploded with comments.

"Holy crap! This ranking difference is huge! The system is really punishing him!"

"Over 1300! These are already among the best of the rising stars in martial arts, right?!"

"I can't kill him with one punch now, can I? If I get killed again, I'll really start to question my existence!"

The battle begins.

The map depicts a gloomy ancient tomb, with narrow passageways and stone coffins scattered throughout, creating a somber atmosphere.

Lin Ye's opponent was a young man wielding two swords. His figure appeared and disappeared in the dimly lit passageway, as if he had blended into the surrounding shadows.

The moment the countdown ended, the young man did not hesitate at all; he turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared from the spot.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.

interesting.

He could sense that the other party's martial arts acumen seemed to be related to shadows and speed, somewhat like Ye Qi, who was skilled in concealment and assassination.

Just as Lin Ye was pondering.

The next moment, a cold blade suddenly emerged from the shadows beside him, aiming straight for his temple!

Lin Ye didn't even turn his head; he simply tilted his head back slightly.

The fatal stab grazed his hair, tearing off a few strands.

Having missed his target, the youth once again merged into the shadows and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of sword lights appeared simultaneously from all directions, blocking all of Lin Ye's escape routes from various tricky and bizarre angles.

Each blade of light carried the incredibly refined aura of a mid-stage Condensation Realm martial artist, making it extremely sharp.

For the first time, Lin Ye's expression changed slightly.

He discovered that once he entered the top 1,500, the strength of these opponents suddenly increased dramatically.

They are not even in the same league as their previous opponents.

Although in Lin Ye's opinion, it was still not enough, not even as good as that clown Lu Jiuxiao back then.

But it's clear that these people have become capable of exchanging a few blows with him; they're no longer the kind of people who can be easily beaten to a pulp with a single punch.

Faced with the dazzling array of sword lights, Lin Ye finally stopped being overconfident.

He reached his right hand behind him.

Clang!
A clear gunshot rang out, echoing through the dark tomb.

The spear that countless viewers had been longing for was finally in Lin Ye's hands!

The moment the Piercing Star Spear was drawn, Lin Ye's wrist twitched.

There were no flashy moves, nor any bursts of energy.

He simply thrust the spear forward.

A simple, unadorned thrust.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

The sky full of sword light, the opponent whose speed reached its limit and who was almost a blur, all shattered like bubbles before this one shot.

The young man, whose name was "Good Names Are All Taken by Dogs," stumbled out of the shadows, a tiny bloody hole appearing between his eyebrows.

His expression was still one of disbelief.

The next second, his body turned into a stream of light and vanished.

Although Lin Ye used a weapon this time, it was still a one-hit kill!

In the live stream, the viewers were stunned for a moment, and then erupted in an even more intense round of cheers.

"Holy crap! He drew his gun! He finally drew his gun!"

"That shot looked so ordinary, just a simple stab forward? How did the opponent die?"

"Yeah, it feels too easy. It's no different from the basic shooting techniques we usually practice."

Dong Dongchen looked at the comments and shook his head slightly.

He replayed the footage, then slowed it down again.

"Brothers, do you think this shot was easy?"

He sneered.

"Let me tell you, this good name has been wasted by a dog. He is at least a top genius in the mid-stage of the Condensation Realm. The martial arts spirituality he awakened should be some kind of shadow-type spirituality. It would be difficult for ordinary people to hit him!"

"And do you know what this shot represents?"

"This means his marksmanship has undergone a qualitative change!"

"All martial arts have four realms: resemblance, unity of intent, killing intent, and returning to the true essence!" "Previously, his spear technique should have been at the third realm, the killing intent realm."

"But now, he has reached the final stage—returning to simplicity!"

"The so-called return to simplicity is to return to one's true nature! His every move is no longer bound by any fixed form; all his skills and techniques have been integrated into every single gun-drawing action!"

"What appears to you as an ordinary thrust is, in the eyes of a true master, a spear that has sealed off all of the opponent's options; it is an unavoidable and unstoppable fatal strike!"

Dong Chen's explanation deeply impressed all the viewers in the live broadcast room, giving rise to a feeling of awe and wonder.

In the following half hour...

Lin Ye's ranking journey seemed to confirm Dong Dongchen's statement.

The opponents he was matched with were all stronger and ranked higher than the last.

From 1,300th to 1,100th, and then to over 900th...

Lin Ye also began to use weapons and martial arts techniques frequently, much to the delight of all the audience.

But from beginning to end, there was no sign of any burst of qi or blood on his body, nor was there any external release of the qi and aura characteristic of the Condensation Realm.

He's like a bottomless abyss; just when you think you've reached his limit, he always manages to pull out something even more astonishing.

Until the very last game.

Lin Ye was matched with a swordsmanship genius ranked 877th.

This genius actually lasted for more than ten moves against Lin Ye before his protective aura was shattered by a single spear thrust, resulting in a regrettable defeat.

After winning the match, Dong Dongchen subconsciously glanced at the viewership of the live stream.

70 million!
He forcibly suppressed his inner elation and then opened Lin Ye's personal battle record page.

Those rows of pure, unblemished "Victory" signs.

Behind each defeated opponent's ID was an astonishing ranking.

All of this completely proves Lin Ye's high level of expertise!

This also proves the value of Dong Dongchen's judgment!

The live stream chat was now filled with nothing but amazement and awe.

Just then, Dong Dongchen suddenly realized something.

He lunged at the screen as if he had discovered a new continent, staring intently at Lin Ye's win rate and winning streak!

[ID: Goblin Minion]

Current Rank: 876th in the Martial Arts Rising Star Ranks

Head-to-head record: 170 wins - 2 losses - 0 draws

[Win rate: 98.84%]

[Maximum winning streak: 165]

These two data points...

Has the record already been broken?!
Dong Dongchen was afraid that he had misremembered the data.

Amidst countless questions and inquiries from viewers in the live chat, Dong Dongchen quickly pulled up a statistical list he had compiled long ago and displayed it directly to everyone.

The title of that list was—

[Rankings of overall win rates across all regions worldwide since the launch of Martial Arts Peak]

1. [ID: Samael, Region: North America, Win Rate: 98.71%]

2. [ID: Vishnu, Region: India, Win Rate: 98.68%]

3. [ID: Ling Canglan, Region: Daxia, Win Rate: 98.67%]

Dong Dongchen gasped, his voice trembling.

"Brothers, this is a list I made last year. I think I even released a video about it. In that video, I gave a detailed overview of the astonishing data on the list and the geniuses behind these extreme records."

"But just today, just now, the all-time record for win rate has been broken!"

"And look again! Samael, who previously achieved the highest win rate, only had a maximum winning streak of 112 games! That's nothing compared to the goblin minions!"

At that moment, all the comments in the live stream chat converged into four words.

Witness history!!
However, Dong Dongchen's explanation was not over yet!

He switched the list again and brought up another, even more astonishing ranking.

"Brothers! Don't blink! It's nothing that one piece of history has been broken! Today, we may very well witness the birth of another, even more significant piece of history!"

[Rankings of the longest winning streaks in the history of each division of Martial Arts Peak since its launch]

1. [ID: Ling Canglan, Region: Daxia, Maximum Winning Streak: 166]

2. [ID: Ning Youzhonghu, Region: Daxia, Maximum Winning Streak: 164]

3. [ID: Ares, Region: Europa League, Longest Winning Streak: 162]

"see it!"

"The previous record holder for the longest winning streak in history was our Great Xia's Martial God, Senior Ling Canglan! His record was 166 games!"

"And now! The goblin minions' winning streak has reached 165 games! It's now the second longest in history!"

"He is just two wins away from breaking this legendary record that has stood for decades!"

Dong Dongchen felt a slight numbness in his hands and feet, and a surge of electricity shot from his spine to the top of his head.

"Brothers, we may very well be witnessing the birth of a record that has never been set before, and may even never be set again!"

"Whether it's Samael, who's number one on the win rate list, or Ling Canglan, the Martial Saint, who's number one on the winning streak list, they're only at one end of the spectrum."

"No one has ever been able to achieve both of these records before!"

"Those who maintain the highest win rate have played fewer games, and are destined not to have a higher winning streak."

"And those geniuses who had previously maintained longer winning streaks will inevitably encounter sanctioners once they truly enter the deep waters, causing their winning streaks to be interrupted."

"If the Goblin Soldier can break the winning streak record again today, then he will be the undisputed number one player in the history of Martial Arts Peak since its launch!"

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was brought to its peak by Dong Dongchen's hoarse shouts.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final two thrilling matches.

however.

When Dong Dongchen finished his passionate speech and turned his attention back to his friends list, he was deeply moved.

The ID named "Goblin Soldier" has turned gray.

Two cold words followed—

[Offline]

“F---!”

A heart-wrenching wail erupted from Dong Dongchen's throat.

"He's logged off! No way!!!"

Dong Dongchen felt like he was about to cry.

No, brother, we've come this far, just two more games to go, it's the final push!
Why did you log off?
In the live stream, 700,000 viewers also broke down at this moment, with cries of despair filling the air.

"Holy crap, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body! I can't take it!"

"Gaia—!!"

"Is this some kind of ultimate 'inch-stop' challenge? Streamer, don't you know him? Please, let him come up and finish these two matches!!!"
