At that moment, almost everyone was stunned.
Hearing Zhang Yuyan’s words, it felt like their minds were buzzing blank.
Right then, it was as if this seemingly delicate girl had, in that very instant, shouted out the strongest cry—not just for Leng Hao, but for herself, and for the entire Dusty Splendor team!
“Actually, I didn’t want to say anything at first. I’m just a newcomer. I have no right, no strength to speak to you all. I don’t even know why you’ve been suppressing us all this time, nor why you refuse to leave us even a single way out.
You might say it’s all aimed at Leng Hao. But right now, I just want to speak one sentence for him and for myself: Ask yourselves honestly—when have we ever deliberately provoked any person or any team? Hasn’t it always been you who drove us to the brink, forcing Leng Hao to fight back?
But why won’t you let go? Why must you chase us to the ends of the earth?
If that’s the case, then I have nothing else to say. There’s only one last thing I can do now, and that is… I’m sorry. I choose to withdraw from the rookie competition.”
Those words, especially the declaration of abandoning the rookie contest, made many feel that facing such a desperate, overwhelming oppression, Zhang Yuyan’s refusal to bow her head—and instead walking away with determination—was truly rare.
But that was not the thunderclap that exploded in everyone’s mind!
What really shook them to their core was her final sentence!
On screen, the beautiful Zhang Yuyan—under the gaze of tens of thousands—suddenly lifted her head. Calmly, she looked at Xiao Leng, Xiaoyuan, Xiaoxiao—the three veteran top-tier Douyu streamers—and then raised her voice:
“Thanks to you all, I forfeit the rookie competition. But in this afternoon’s Battle for the Seats of Legends… I, Zhang Yuyan, humbly request your guidance, seniors!”
This afternoon’s Battle for the Seats of Legends… I, Zhang Yuyan, humbly request your guidance, seniors!
When that line dropped, every single person stared in disbelief at Zhang Yuyan on the stream page.
No one expected that this fragile rookie streamer, who only rose thanks to the Dusty Splendor team’s support, would—before the entire network—so boldly face the towering accusations and criticisms of Xiao Leng, Xiaoyuan, Xiaoxiao, the veteran titans of Douyu.
Even more shocking, she had, in an unprecedented move, issued a direct, razor-sharp challenge to those veteran titans who were like untouchable mountains towering above her!
A mere rookie streamer daring to challenge three of the platform’s most powerful veterans for the Seats of Legends?
And those veterans weren’t alone—they stood backed by Douyu’s near-invincible God-Tier Alliance and the full weight of the official Douyu platform itself!
How could she? How dared she?
For a moment, everyone felt this was nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree—arrogant beyond measure.
Yet it was precisely this kind of challenge—knowing it was impossible, and still choosing to fight—that made the fans from Douyu, those who had once witnessed Leng Hao’s brilliance, feel: Yes. This is exactly the spirit a streamer under Leng Hao should have!
And soon, without even a pause, in Warm Baby and Han Xiaoxiao’s rooms, the same fearless voices rang out in unison:
“I’m truly sorry. I, Warm Baby, forfeit the rookie competition. But this afternoon’s Battle for the Seats of Legends—seniors, please guide me!”
“My apologies. By Leng Hao’s command, I, Han Xiaoxiao, forfeit the rookie competition. This afternoon’s Battle for the Seats of Legends—seniors, it would be my greatest honor to receive your guidance!”
With that, all three Dusty Splendor rookies announced, at the most prominent spots on the live page, their withdrawal from the rookie contest—turning straight toward the most brutal, cutthroat battlefield: the all-network Battle for the Seats of Legends!
This move left the two commentators, who were just about to explain the three streams, completely dumbfounded. Their mouths opened, but they had no idea how to comment on a scene that had never once happened in the history of the industry!
And it left the entire audience watching this event staring blankly at their screens, unable to recover.
In that stunned silence, many who had never seen Leng Hao in action felt, for the first time, the weight of his presence!
Deliberately suppress his streamers? Force him into a corner with no way out? Make him taste despair firsthand?
It certainly looked that way. But Leng Hao hadn’t backed down an inch. He took it all—and instead of letting himself be slaughtered, he flipped the script and launched a counterattack right from the depths of helplessness!
For many who had only ever heard of him in rumors, this was their first true glimpse of the ID called Yidian Leng.
Now they understood—this wasn’t just some rich “god-tier” spender. This was someone who had never yielded, who would never yield!
Even under such crushing odds, even facing both the God-Tier Alliance and the Douyu officials at once, he had never retreated!
A mix of emotions swelled in countless hearts: hot-blooded excitement, sympathy, heartbreak, admiration—all tangled together.
And just as that storm of feeling spread, a long-awaited ID suddenly appeared in a blazing golden bullet comment across the live page—one bearing the unique golden dragon pattern reserved for Douyu’s absolute highest-tier account:
【Douyu Supreme User Yidian Leng】 @【Douyu Supreme User Guan Zong】 @【Douyu Supreme User Qian God】 @【Douyu Supreme User Yuanyang Jun】 @【Douyu Supreme User Luo Tian Shen】 @【Douyu Supreme User Esports Goddess Xiao Xi】 @【Douyu Official】:
“I came out at Guan Zong’s invitation. I just saw everything he said. It seems what everyone really wants is nothing more than to sweep me and my team completely out of this grand event—even off the Douyu platform itself. Fine. Since that’s your wish, I have nothing else to say. Now, I just want to see how Guan Zong and all of you will make me ‘see the truth’ about myself!”
That golden dragon-patterned bullet message instantly took the most prominent spot on the entire live page. And it didn’t just @ Guan Zong—it tagged almost every top-tier powerhouse name visible in Douyu’s hierarchy in one go.
At that moment, everyone felt it: Yidian Leng and his Dusty Splendor team might not have the raw power of the God-Tier Alliance or the official platform, but the sheer force of their presence and spirit was not one bit weaker!
