The battle invitation for Under the Heavens happened to be posted on the eve of Celestial Bane's release. It could be said that the timing was perfect.
Celestial Bane's reader group was jointly established by several leaders. Dugu Seeker of Defeat was the group leader and Long Aotian was the deputy group leader. Apart from that, there were many rich readers.
Although Ye Lingchen had never mentioned the establishment of a reader group, those people had spontaneously formed the strongest backing for Celestial Bane, becoming Celestial Bane's grand alliance!
"F * ck! That 3Logs was just too f * cking shameless! How can a veteran author like him go against Celestial Bane?! "
"Motherf * cker, fighting for monthly votes? He has the nerve to say that! Under the Heavens is almost three million words. Coupled with his appeal, the monthly votes are at the top every month! Celestial Bane only has around two hundred thousand words and has just been published! "
"Moreover, I am Y doesn't usually communicate with the readers. He'll be at a disadvantage in a battle."
"The key is that Under the Heavens released a chapter. The battle is imminent. I'm afraid the monthly votes ranking will be extremely tragic on the first day!"
"There are many rich readers of Celestial Bane. All of us have to do our part and suppress Under the Heavens' arrogance!"
"Come on, let's go warn I am Y!"
…
Those who were able to enter the group were all hardcore fans of Celestial Bane. Each of them rubbed their palms together and wanted to do their part for Celestial Bane no matter what.
As Ye Lingchen did not join the group, they immediately went to Celestial Bane's chapters and comments section to leave a message.
[The author will definitely respond once he sees it.]
[Let's see what I am Y has to say. He must fight to the death with Under the Heavens!]
Lingchen was at 12 pm!
Due to the change to charging, some time was needed. Ye Lingchen waited for the backend debugging to finish before he could upload the chapter.
Since he had nothing to do, he clicked on the comments section.
[Wow, the great author is finally going to be published! Let's subscribe!]
[Support the great author. Subscriptions aren't a problem. Hurry up and release more chapters!]
[Keep it up, great author. Although I don't have much pocket money, it's enough for subscriptions!]
There were many comments and they were all supportive voices. Ye Lingchen scrolled through them bit by bit and could not help but reveal a smile on his face.
Although his original intention was to collect popularity points, who would not like to be recognized by the public?
To have so many fans was something to be happy about.
However, he soon furrowed his brows.
[Great author, hurry up and take a look. "Under the Heavens" has issued a challenge to you!]
[How shameless of 3Logs to send a single needle against Celestial Bane!]
[Great author, you can do it! My monthly votes have already been prepared. I'm just waiting for you to be published. I'll do my part!]
Those comments immediately attracted Ye Lingchen's attention. He clicked on the single chapter of "Under the Heavens" and read the content. His eyes turned even colder.
You want to teach me how to behave? You want to suppress me with monthly votes?
He still had some impression of 3Logs. Last time, he was the one who had ridiculed him on Tieba, saying that his data was a fake. Who would've thought that he would appear again when he went on sale today.
Hehe, if you want to fight, then let's fight!
Ye Lingchen immediately began typing. He was also prepared to respond to 3Logs with a single chapter.
His typing speed was very fast, and the single chapter was not long. Upload it immediately!
At that moment, many readers were waiting for Celestial Bane to be published. Long Aotian was already charging his QQ Reading account for book coins, ready to go all out.
It should be about time for the update.
Long Aotian tried to refresh the chapter, and a new chapter appeared!
It was not a chapter, but a single chapter in response.
Title: [If you want to fight, then let's fight!]
The winds and clouds of the world arise from my generation, and once in the pugilistic world, time vanishes.
Imperial hegemony is in the midst of laughter, and tonight's drunken night!
You want to fight, then let's fight!
What do I have to fear?
The single chapter could be considered to be very short, with only six sentences.
However, when Long Aotian saw it, his pupils constricted. He could feel the blood coursing through his body, as though it was about to boil!
F * ck!
F * ck!
Was that a poem?
'I am Y actually wrote a poem?!'
Long Aotian was not very cultured, but he could feel the sentiment behind the poem just from the literal meaning alone!
It was majestic, making one's blood boil!
Good poem!
Good poem!
[The winds and clouds of the world arise from my generation, and once in the pugilistic world, time vanishes. Imperial hegemony is in the midst of laughter, and tonight's drunken night!] He read the poem over and over again, his face turning redder and redder, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
At that moment, a feeling of the pugilistic world filled his entire body. He felt as though he was in a land of heroes, watching the rise of heroes one after another!
Asking for votes for a single chapter was something every author would do. It was not uncommon.
However, a single chapter like Ye Lingchen's was the first time in his life!
Generally speaking, a single chapter asking for votes would either be a pathetic attempt to gain the sympathy of the readers, or it would be like 3Logs, finding a gimmick to invite a battle. However, Ye Lingchen was much more impressive. He came up with a poem right away!
That poem alone was enough to be considered a classic, let alone a single chapter!
What a talent!
At the same time, countless readers noticed that. When they saw that single chapter, they were completely stunned.
At that moment, an old professor from Huaqing University was wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, looking at an IPA and opening QQ Read.
He learned about Celestial Bane from one of his students, Hao Jian. At the same time, he was also interested in it because of a passage in Celestial Bane.
To this day, he still remembered those words in his heart. 'Set your heart for the heavens and earth, set your life for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past, and establish peace for all ages.'
Those words, in the old professor's opinion, could be considered the words of a saint.
When he heard those words, he was shocked to the core, feeling as though his mind was buzzing. Those words could be said to have encompassed countless thoughts since ancient times. At that moment, he seemed to have heard the voice of the great Dao!
Due to his shock, he started reading Celestial Bane.
Although Celestial Bane was not as profound as traditional literature, the world within it made him feel as though he had returned to the past, finding the feeling he had when he read Journey to the West. It was a fantasy world of Xianxia.
From then on, reading Celestial Bane became one of the few pleasures in his life.
However, on that day, he heard that Celestial Bane was going to be published and was asking for monthly votes.
Naturally, he did not care about that. However, when he opened the single chapter, his entire body trembled.
'That's … a poem?'
As a literature professor, one look and he was certain that the poem was an original work! It had never happened before!
For someone to be able to write such a poem in the current era, that person must be a literary genius!
"Good, very good!"
He was so excited that his face was flushed, and his eyes were a little moist. He initially thought that true Chinese literature no longer existed in the current era, but on that day, he saw it. That poem had surpassed some of the ancient poems, and could be passed down for generations to come!
