OFR – Chapter 333 Who Has Spoken (part 3)!

This barrage was from Guan Zong!

Ranked seventh among the Top Ten Tycoons in the Live Streaming Industry, Guan Zong is the key decision-maker of the elite Hongmen team!

In the eyes of many industry insiders, whether in terms of ranking or influence, Guan Zong is in no way inferior to “A Bit Cold”—he is a super tycoon in his own right.

Though his past achievements may not shine as brightly as A Bit Cold’s, his prestige within the industry—especially on the Douyu platform—is undeniably on par. The Top Ten Tycoons Ranking clearly reflects this:

• A Bit Cold is ranked eighth.
• Guan Zong is ranked seventh.

So, when Guan Zong’s barrage appeared on the live stream page, delivered in a tone that was almost a declaration of war, it immediately captured the attention of the vast majority of users.

[Douyu Supreme User: Guan Zong] @ [Douyu Supreme User: A Bit Cold]:

A Bit Cold, I know you’re watching. Come out and face me.
I’ve heard your words—about how your Dusty Vanity team will one day become a name we all look up to.
Very well. Then allow me, even if I overestimate myself, to witness the true weight of this team you claim is so awe-inspiring.

And I have to ask: Where did you find the nerve, the boldness, to say such arrogant things?
No matter what your reputation is among the common fans, right here, before the entire network, I want to do one thing:

To help you—and your Dusty Vanity team—recognize your place.

Make A Bit Cold “recognize his place”?

Many Douyu users reading this flamboyant barrage couldn’t help but recall the past.

It seemed like it was just on New Year’s Day, the first time A Bit Cold came to Douyu.

That day, another tycoon from Huajiao Live, named Lonely Chill, had similarly challenged A Bit Cold on the Douyu platform with near-identical arrogance:

“Right here, on Douyu, I’ll help you recognize who you really are.”

The words of Lonely Chill were almost a mirror of what Guan Zong said today.

But everyone knows the outcome of that confrontation: the victor who shocked the entire industry that day—was A Bit Cold!

With nothing but his own strength, he crushed six of Dingding Clan’s tycoons, and his overwhelming dominance temporarily overshadowed both Douyu and Huajiao.

So now, Guan Zong’s words, while eerily familiar, don’t make people think he’ll repeat the same failure.

After all, Guan Zong’s prestige, power, and the strength of his Hongmen faction far surpass that of Lonely Chill and the Dingding Clan.

Even if Hongmen and Dusty Vanity were to compete under entirely fair conditions, no one could confidently predict the winner.

What’s more, behind Guan Zong stands the massive Tycoon Alliance—a force so powerful that every live-streaming platform must take it seriously.

This alliance gathers almost all of Douyu’s most elite nobles. How could the Dusty Vanity team possibly compare?

Even though A Bit Cold has peerless wealth and boldness in the live-streaming world—he is, in the end, just one man.

And apart from him, there’s no one else in Dusty Vanity who commands serious attention from rival teams.

By contrast, the Tycoon Alliance behind Guan Zong includes not just emperors and nobles, but over a hundred Supreme users!

There are also other Top Ten Tycoons like Yuanyang Army, Luotian Shen, the Esports Goddess Xiaoxi, and Qian Nanshen, whose fame and resources rival even Guan Zong’s.

This year’s Tycoon Alliance on Douyu is without question the strongest in history.

They’ve occupied four of the ten spots on the Tycoon Power List. Their allied factions—Hongmen, Junwei, etc.—are among the most elite in the entire industry.

Such an extravagant, elite-level lineup is not only overwhelming to A Bit Cold—it would be intimidating even for alliances from other platforms.

Simply put, no known alliance today can match the one led by Guan Zong, Yuanyang Army, and Luotian Shen.

Thus, in the minds of many, A Bit Cold is facing certain defeat.

However, those who have witnessed A Bit Cold on Douyu before know—he is the kind of tycoon who shines brighter the more dire the situation becomes.

He’s never conceded, and he never will.

Even if there were a giant blocking his path, the A Bit Cold in everyone’s memory would still launch a counterattack powerful enough to make the world itself tremble.

That’s why many Douyu users who had been preparing to switch into the individual competition rooms now stopped dead in their tracks after seeing Guan Zong directly provoke Coldhao (A Bit Cold’s fan name).

Because to them, no matter when, as long as the Coldhao ID shows up, the excitement, passion, and sheer thrill it brings surpasses that of any anchor in the entire industry.

This is also why, as of now, Coldhao’s Douyu account has over 50 million followers, more than any anchor on the platform—by far.

Even Douyu’s No.1 female streamer “Xiao Leng”, has less than a third of his followers.

So when the Annual Tycoon Awards were announced yesterday, many Douyu fans jokingly said:

“If Coldhao ever decided to become a real streamer, one of the Top 10 seats would instantly be his.”

With 50 million+ followers, that’s a number rarely seen across the entire internet, not just in streaming—but also in short video platforms and even the broader entertainment industry.

Now, many longtime Coldhao fans, watching as Guan Zong brazenly called out their idol in front of the entire internet, couldn’t help but clench their fists tightly at their screens—be it phone or PC.

There was worry for Coldhao, and disdain for Guan Zong’s choice to incite internal conflict during a time that should’ve united them against outside rivals.

But no matter what they felt, these fans knew—they couldn’t participate in a battle of this level.

All they could do was post a few encouraging barrages, cheering Coldhao on.

They knew full well he probably wouldn’t see these messages, but they were still offering the truest form of silent support.

They wanted the whole internet to know:

No matter how desperate the situation becomes, Coldhao will always have a legion of loyal fans standing with him.

Yet just as many people were posting support messages, a few flaming red system barrages suddenly erupted across the live-stream interface, catching everyone’s attention once again…
