Chapter 592 - 245: To the Peak Again, The World’s Elite
Chapter 592: Chapter 245: To the Peak Again, The World’s Elite
From rank 256 to rank 1, over ten battle records were listed on the screen.
And the details of every single battle were surprisingly identical.
[Time: 1.9 seconds. Opponent’s Spirit collapsed, lost the will to fight.]
[Time: 2.7 seconds. Opponent’s Spirit collapsed, lost the will to fight.]
[Time: 3.6 seconds. Opponent’s Spirit collapsed, lost the will to fight.]
...
Dong Dongchen swallowed and randomly clicked on a match recording.
Once the loading bar finished, he and the tens of millions of viewers in his stream held their breath and stared at the screen.
The instant the countdown ended,
all they saw was the figure of "Goblin Soldiers" seem to twitch slightly, as if an invisible ripple was spreading out from him.
But before anyone could see what it was,
the screen went black.
[Battle Over]
The huge letters for "VICTORY" were plastered right in everyone’s faces.
"???"
"That’s it?"
"I was all hyped up for this?"
"Is there something wrong with the recording? You can’t see anything at all!"
Unwilling to give up, Dong Dongchen clicked on several more recordings, but the result was the same every time.
Just then, his personal terminal buzzed urgently.
The caller ID read: Long Bohan.
Dong Dongchen immediately muted his stream’s microphone and answered the voice call.
"Hello?"
"Dongchen, do you know anyone from the *Martial Arts Peak* operations team? Especially the higher-ups!"
"Lin Ye just contacted me!"
"He said the New Star Sequence is boring. He wants to know if it’s possible to make an exception and move him up to the adult division—preferably a group with Divine Realm or even Celestial Human Realm experts in it!"
Listening to the call, Dong Dongchen’s eyes grew wider and wider.
The expression on his face shifted from surprise to shock, finally morphing into excitement.
After hanging up,
Dong Dongchen’s hands flew across his keyboard with a CLACK-CLACK-CLACK, sending messages to several key contacts in his address book.
At the same time, he dialed another number.
Long Bohan was already using his father’s connections to contact the person in charge of *Martial Arts Peak*.
Meanwhile, Dong Dongchen was mobilizing all of his own contacts.
A little over ten minutes later, after a period of tense waiting and communication, Dong Dongchen let out a long sigh of relief.
’Done!’
Driven by Lin Ye’s frankly terrifying social influence and the combined push from multiple parties,
the top brass at *Martial Arts Peak* replied almost instantly.
The reply was concise.
[A trivial matter. The technical department will handle it immediately.]
Dong Dongchen unmuted his stream’s microphone, cleared his throat, and put on a mysterious smile.
"Alright folks, everything you just saw was just a warm-up."
"Now, the real show is about to begin!"
The chat was already going wild with insults, demanding to know what he was doing on the sly.
Dong Dongchen quickly explained the whole situation.
When they heard that Lin Ye found the New Star Sequence too easy and had actively requested to be moved to the adult division—a division teeming with Divine Realm experts—the entire stream erupted.
"Holy shit! That’s so ballsy! I love it!"
"Now that’s the kind of spirit our top champion should have!"
"He beat the tutorial village and now he wants to challenge the final boss, is that it?"
Just as Dong Dongchen was passionately hyping up the atmosphere, he caught a change on the game screen out of the corner of his eye.
Behind the ID "Goblin Soldiers," the text indicating his matchmaking status lit up again.
[Matchmaking...]
Dong Dongchen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked on the details of Lin Ye’s matchmaking sequence.
The next second, when he saw the line of text on the screen, the smile on his face froze.
[Current Matchmaking Sequence: Youth Elite Division (World)]
[Current Sequence Ranking: Unranked (0/5)]
Dong Dongchen’s jaw slowly dropped, wide enough to fit an egg.
He let out a "Holy shit!", his voice cracking.
He had thought it was already absurd enough for the 18-year-old Lin Ye to make an exception and enter the youth division, which was normally restricted to those 22 and older.
But the "Elite," and especially the "World" suffix at the end, left him completely dumbfounded.
In the stream, tens of millions of viewers also fell into a dead silence.
A moment later, the chat absolutely exploded.
"Holy hell... a global sequence?!"
"That’s terrifying! Have the admins gone insane? They put him straight into the global matchmaking pool!"
"When you think about it, it kinda makes sense... Our Great Xia’s number one rookie Martial Artist taking on the global Youth Elite Division. The hype from that alone is fucking explosive!"
Dong Dongchen snapped out of his shock, took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, and switched into professional commentator mode.
"Folks, some of you might not know what this ’Youth Elite Division (World)’ really means."
"Let me break it down for you."
"This division is one of the most prestigious sequences in *Martial Arts Peak*! There are two strict requirements to enter this group!"
"First, you can’t be over 35 years old!"
"Second, you must have your realm officially certified, with strength at the Divine Realm or higher!"
"There are hundreds of millions of young Martial Artists in the world, but the total number who meet this standard and enter this division is less than a hundred thousand! Every single one of them is a true pillar of their respective nation’s young Martial Artists!"
Just as the atmosphere in the stream reached its peak,
the swirling vortex in the center of the screen, which signified matchmaking, came to a sudden halt.
[Match Found!]
