OFR – Chapter 336 Don’t worry.

Before today, no one—no individual, no team—could have imagined that someone like Leng Hao, with no powerful allies, no god-tier supporters of the same level, practically a lone wolf, could stand with such an unyielding aura and face head-on the alliance that had gathered almost all of Douyu’s top forces!

What kind of strength was this? What kind of courage?
For a moment, no one could even find words to describe it!

Among the viewers, a few boys barely eighteen or nineteen couldn’t help but blurt out one word as they stared at the screen:
“Legendary…”

Yes—in their eyes, Leng Hao was a single man standing against nearly the entire Douyu platform!

They couldn’t fully understand what kind of arrogance this was, but they could feel their blood boiling inside.

Even many within the Douyu Alliance and the official Douyu staff looked at that blazing bullet message and that ID on the live page and were at a loss for words.

Especially Xiao Leng.
The last time she had seen this “Yidian Leng” ID, he had been in a desperate corner and still carried that same wild arrogance.

But she hadn’t expected that even now, facing a situation where Douyu’s official stance had shifted from protecting him to openly opposing him, he would still appear exactly the same.

She had thought that this time, the person behind that ID would finally retreat—that he would learn what “impossible” really meant, what a true dead-end was.

But now she realized: maybe Yidian Leng did understand all of that.
And yet, his aura was unchanged—as if this man had never once known fear.

“He’s fought, he’s won, he’s shined in glory… maybe he’s even tasted defeat.
But tell me—when has Leng Hao ever been afraid?”

At that moment, Xiao Leng finally understood the weight of that bullet comment the Douyu audience had once spammed in frenzy.

What kind of strength did this ID carry to make him so utterly confident?
She truly couldn’t comprehend what kind of person was behind this blinding name.

On the live page, even Timo, Da Xian, Xiaoyuan, and the others who had just appeared were all shocked into silence by this sudden turn.

None of them quite knew how to respond.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yuyan, Warm Baby, and Han Xiaoxiao from the Dusty Splendor team didn’t hesitate at all. After speaking their piece, they calmly and decisively shut off their streams.

Not only did they close their streams and withdraw from the rookie competition, they immediately used the qualification tags Leng Hao had given them to enter the most high-stakes battlefield of the event—the Battle for the Seats of Legends.
And on the entry form, they deliberately filled in the names of Xiao Leng, Xiaoyuan, and the others as their chosen opponents!

It was the clearest declaration: the counterattack belonging to Leng Hao and the Dusty Splendor team had officially begun!

Right after they made that move, everyone noticed that the striking Leng Hao ID on the page lingered for only a moment longer. Before Guan Zong or anyone else could recover their momentum to speak, a small notification appeared in the corner of the feed:

Leng Hao has left the room.

Yes, he had left. But no one thought for a second that this meant surrender.

Because now that the Dusty Splendor streamers had withdrawn from the rookie competition, it meant that the relatively mild morning event had nothing to do with Leng Hao anymore.

Him leaving, not wanting to watch the rest of the rookies compete, was completely normal. There wasn’t a single reason anyone could criticize.

But everyone knew one thing: with Leng Hao stepping out, the already-intense Battle for the Seats of Legends that afternoon was about to become something far beyond intense.

That thought filled the live chat with waves of bullet messages—anticipation, hype, and shouts of challenge exploding everywhere.

At noon, after logging off the Quanmin TV stream page, Mu Bai calmly glanced at the flood of private messages he had just received.

Most were from users expressing admiration, excitement, or stirring up the hype. Of course, there were also a few threats from fans of the God-Tier Alliance members.

Whether it was worship, envy, hype, or threats, Mu Bai skimmed them all with indifference and ignored them.

Truth was, the world would never lack people who just wanted to watch drama or inflate their own importance. There was no need to care about them. And honestly, even if he did care, he couldn’t possibly respond to all of them anyway.

With that thought, he blocked strangers in his settings, ignored the messages, and switched back to the QQ link on his phone.

Now that the Dusty Splendor team had completely pulled out of the rookie competition, most of the team had lost interest in continuing to watch the event and had returned to QQ.

In an instant, the team’s usually quiet group chat had exploded with messages—almost as many as they normally sent in an entire day.

Many of them had tagged him directly.

Opening the chat, Mu Bai saw the flood of messages.

The group was lively: some were blaming Haiqing for pushing Zhang Yuyan and the others to join the rookie contest in the first place; some were comforting each other, saying they shouldn’t lose hope; and many were praising Zhang Yuyan and Han Xiaoxiao’s moves, saying how cool they were—and that Leng Hao was even cooler.

All in all, while the God-Tier Alliance and Douyu’s official suppression had left a bitter taste, no one in the group had lost the will to fight like their opponents had expected.

Seeing this, Mu Bai smiled faintly and typed a few words to reassure everyone.

Perhaps because the team was under such crushing external pressure, the moment Mu Bai’s name appeared in the chat, almost every member @’d him immediately.

Haiqing @Yidian Leng: Leng Hao, it’s my fault. I was wrong. I dragged you and the team into this kind of suppression. From now on, I’ll think everything through. Leng Hao, I really feel sorry.

Jingbao @Yidian Leng: Ahh, Leng Hao, hug please. I’ve missed you so much!

Zhang Yuyan @Yidian Leng: Leng Hao, thank you. This afternoon, I’ll fight with everything I have. I won’t let you down.

Warm Baby @Yidian Leng: Leng Hao, sob sob… I was so scared just now. Hug me. Please comfort me!

Han Xiaoxiao @Yidian Leng: Leng Hao, with you here, I fear no one. Guan Zong? So what? Queen Xiao Leng? So what? Douyu officials? So what? Life or death—we fight if we’re not convinced!

Awen @Yidian Leng: Leng Hao, I miss you too.

Xiaoyue @Yidian Leng: Leng Hao, I miss you.

These messages were all filled with determination, and a warm sense of family within the team.

But as Mu Bai read them one by one, he could also clearly feel the unease buried deep in their words.

Of course. No matter which team it was, facing such an overwhelmingly powerful enemy—the combined might of the Douyu officials and the God-Tier Alliance—they would all feel the same gnawing fear inside.

And all those “I miss you” messages… Mu Bai understood.
What they really wanted was just a sliver of security, some tiny spark of reassurance they could hold onto.

They were scared.
They had no confidence.
They didn’t even know if their team could win.

Because this wasn’t just a fight in the grand event anymore. With Douyu’s officials involved, losing wouldn’t just mean losing the competition. It could mean losing their entire future in the streaming industry.

The Dusty Splendor team, which had just begun to rise to fame, might become nothing more than a fleeting name in history.

And the streamers who had built up their reputations might face relentless suppression from Douyu and the God-Tier Alliance. Even if they switched platforms, they would likely face predators waiting to crush them.

At this moment, the truth was that none of them felt even an ounce of safety.

And yet, despite their fear and uncertainty, none of them spoke of leaving. None of them wanted to walk away. Otherwise, the chat wouldn’t have been filled with such unity.

Thinking of that, Mu Bai paused for a few seconds. Then, he typed a single short message into the group.

“Don’t worry. I’m here.”

Maybe it was because those simple words hit exactly where they all needed.

The chat fell silent for just a heartbeat.

And then, like a dam breaking, the group exploded in replies.
