OFR – Chapter 350 Industry Earthquake (Part 3)!

At this moment, the entire livestream platform’s audience had their eyes fixed on the duel between Xiao Leng and Zhang Yuyan.

After all, this was the final battleground between the God-Tier Alliance and “A Bit Cold.”

But contrary to what everyone originally believed—that the God-Tier Alliance could crush “A Bit Cold” in one decisive strike—they had already collapsed. Even the four most dominant, powerful teams, once unstoppable forces, now scattered like frightened birds and beasts, fleeing in panic.

At this point, the massive livestream page seemed as though not a single person, not a single team, not even an alliance, dared to challenge or blunt the sharp edge of “A Bit Cold.”

It was as if everyone could only look up in awe at this dazzling, radiant ID. No one wanted to—nor dared to—provoke even the slightest hostility.

Even Xiao Leng, who hadn’t yet been defeated, felt unbearably distressed watching Money God and Guan Zong—her two closest allies, people she had once admired the most—struggling desperately to hold out.

Back when she was just a small streamer on another platform, Xiao Leng had already met them.

At that time, she had personally witnessed their overwhelming dominance as God-tier patrons of the streaming industry. From then on, she firmly believed deep in her heart that the two of them were absolutely invincible.

Perhaps because her chatting style matched their tastes so well, the three became very good friends even before they joined Douyu.

As a new streamer back then, being favored by two super God-tier supporters, Xiao Leng’s popularity skyrocketed, and before she realized it, she had grown into the top female streamer of that platform. Soon after, Douyu signed her with a lavish contract, bringing her into their world—the true domain of Guan Zong and Money God.

She had been overjoyed.

But because she grew so close to Guan Zong and Money God, Douyu’s management grew dissatisfied, and often withheld support from her despite her superstar status.

Though nominally a contracted official streamer, the higher-ups knew perfectly well that, when push came to shove, Xiao Leng would always side with Guan Zong and Money God.

This was exactly why, until now, only those two were still fighting to protect her—while the legendary Yu Huang (“Fish King”) never intervened.

Known as the Guardian of Douyu, Yu Huang would never shield or sympathize with an official streamer who wavered in loyalty.

For over two hours, this legendary figure watched the clash between the God-Tier Alliance and “A Bit Cold” with detached superiority.

During that time, he never lifted a hand, allowing his supposed allies in the God-Tier Alliance to suffer a brutal defeat.

To every keen observer, Yu Huang’s stance suggested not only that he was letting “A Bit Cold” deliberately weaken Douyu’s God-tier teams, but also that he was judging whether “A Bit Cold” was worthy of his own intervention.

Of course, as one directly involved, Xiao Leng understood this even more clearly.

But she had never expected Yu Huang to save her.

Now, watching Guan Zong and Money God—just like Zhang Yuyan before them—gritting their teeth in a hopeless last stand against “A Bit Cold,” her heart ached unbearably.

She truly loved and admired Guan Zong and Money God, just as they were stubbornly standing by her now, refusing to abandon her.

Up until today—even just two hours earlier—Xiao Leng had believed them to be unbeatable.

But in this frenzied battle, she had seen too many impossibilities become reality.

She had seen Luo Tianshen, Yuan Yangjun, Goddess Xiaoxi, and other God-tier patrons fall one by one; she had seen the once-mighty God-Tier Alliance shatter under “A Bit Cold,” its members fleeing in chaos.

So now, even if she disliked “A Bit Cold,” she couldn’t deny the truth: the supposedly invincible Guan Zong and Money God were no match.

In fact, even just resisting “A Bit Cold’s” assault was proving nearly impossible.

But knowing how proud Guan Zong and Money God were—how unwilling they were to surrender—Xiao Leng broke into tears and began begging “A Bit Cold” on their behalf.

She might once have criticized him arrogantly, but now, she cast aside her dignity, convinced that if sacrificing her pride could spare them, it was worth it.

“Leng Hao, I surrender. I admit defeat in my duel with Zhang Yuyan. Please, I beg you—don’t keep hammering Guan Zong and Money God. Please don’t wipe me out completely either—just let me keep a shred of dignity for their sake. Please, spare us. Whatever grudges you’ve had with them, from now on take it out on me. It was all my fault for instigating things. Blame me. Even if it means I leave this industry forever, I’ll accept it. Just, please, don’t punish them anymore.”

Crying miserably, her tears streamed down before the entire internet as she pleaded in the humblest way possible.

This scene—Douyu’s number one female streamer begging so pathetically—stirred something in many viewers’ hearts. Few expected that in such a shallow, chaotic, money-driven industry, two streamers like Zhang Yuyan and Xiao Leng could prove so loyal and heartfelt in one day.

But no matter how moving, everyone knew: Guan Zong and Money God’s defeat was inevitable.

That inevitability, combined with Leng Hao’s latest on-screen message, shattered the last hope of even the God-Tier Alliance’s remaining members.

[Douyu Platform’s Apex User A Bit Cold] @ [Top 100 Streamer Xiao Leng]:
“I’ve never targeted anyone in particular. But have you considered—if I lose today, what will become of you?
If Leng Hao falls, what will happen to the God-Tier Alliance?”

When this rhetorical message appeared, everyone reflected on it. Especially the Alliance’s members who had already lost but still lingered in the chat. But the answer came easily:

If Leng Hao had lost today, given the Alliance’s hostility, not only would Dusty Splendor’s team be annihilated, but even “A Bit Cold” would be ridiculed industry-wide as the biggest joke ever.

So everyone instantly grasped the meaning behind Leng Hao’s words.

Xiao Leng, too, understood—and wept even harder, her sobs wrenching hearts.

Meanwhile, in their lavish mansions, Guan Zong and Money God felt burning humiliation, stinging so badly it was hard to breathe.

Once hailed as emperors of the streaming world, they now realized they had been utterly defeated, without a shred of dignity left.

For them, this day had come far too suddenly.

Memories of their past glory—when they basked in endless radiance—flashed before their eyes. They had never imagined they would one day fall so low.

Nor had they imagined that this newly-emerged ID on Douyu, around for only a few short months, would rise to such terrifying heights—powerful enough to single-handedly crush the God-Tier Alliance, something only Nalan Yunshao and Yu Huang had ever accomplished before.

It was the kind of legendary dominance that, years from now, people would still speak of with awe.

Finally, after agonizing seconds of hesitation, Guan Zong and Money God could endure no more. With forced composure, they congratulated him—“So Leng Hao truly is invincible”—and prepared to withdraw.

But they realized, in such humiliation, whatever dignity they thought they had was already long gone.

Worse still, many God-tier patrons and small-time streamers they had once offended were now flocking into the chat, gleefully mocking them, showering their beloved Xiao Leng with humiliating dark gifts.

Even minor second-rate teams they had never acknowledged now brazenly appeared, recruiting away their top talents right before their eyes.

When Guan Zong’s prized streamer, Xiao Yuan, was poached, he unexpectedly laughed—laughed until tears streamed down his face.

Money God, however, could only watch as Xiao Leng was humiliated, his heart twisting in agony.

He regretted deeply: why had he ever provoked “A Bit Cold,” a God-tier so unfathomable, leaving himself so powerless that he couldn’t even protect the streamer he loved?

Once, they had risen to glory, revered as emperors of the scene. But now, they were utterly fallen.

One wrong step led to another, and now, once at the pinnacle of the industry, he and Guan Zong had fallen into ruin.
