Chapter 439: Hoolay: 'If Anyone Ever Reminds Me 30% of You, I'm Going to Panic!
In the ward.
Yanqing was practically standing on his hospital bed!
He wished he could press himself right against the screen.
He stared in shock at his own performance in Honkai: Star Rail.
He muttered, "I… I won?"
"I wasn't defeated by Hoolay…"
"And I even used that sword strike, successfully sealing Hoolay's movements?!"
Yanqing himself could hardly believe it!
Simply because he had suffered far too many defeats in the past!
Ever since Version 1.2.
He had been constantly taking Ls in the storyline!
He hadn't won a single battle!
He had always been the power-scaling benchmark used to highlight how cool other characters were.
But now…
He,
Finally!
Won once!
He had finally welcomed his own moment of glory in Honkai: Star Rail!
"Feathered Spirit, you really made me wait so long!"
However.
The astonishment in the livestream room was only the beginning.
[ Yanqing's Sword Strike ] quickly rushed onto the Galactic Hot Search!
Under the related hot topics.
Many players who had just finished watching the story left comments one after another.
[ As a Yanqing fan, I'm seriously crying tears of joy. When the livestream preview came out, everyone saw Jingliu and said "It's in the bag!", but who would have thought this strike would be delivered by our little Lieutenant. Thank you, Grandmaster! ]
[ Yanqing has finally stood up! ]
[ Hoolay: Except for Jingliu, I've never feared anyone! Yanqing: Easy, I'll just become Jingliu (doge) ]
[ It's not the first time Yanqing has had a flash of inspiration in his swordsmanship. He mostly plays high-tier matches in the story, and he makes obvious progress every time. ]
[ This is a true peerless master, a rare genius! Just by watching it once, he can look ninety percent similar to Jingliu! ]
[ Yanqing here is not just a genius who comprehends the sword in the heat of battle, but also someone who dares to wager everything on a move he has never tried before in the face of a formidable enemy! This is indeed a captivating display of youthful spirit! ]
[ Invincible among his peers, fighting above his level! ]
[ Doesn't this warrant an SP Yanqing? ]
[ Yanqing isn't even an adult yet, and he can already comprehend Jingliu's powerful strike. We can boldly guess that by the time Jingyuan is gone, Yanqing will have the caliber of the Sword Champion Jingliu in just a few decades, and the master and disciple will have a duel in the imperial city. ]
[ We were chatting so nicely, why did you suddenly start throwing glass shards at me? ]
However.
This was not the end.
Right after.
The second hot topic also rushed into the top three!
This time, it was a video made by an enthusiastic player.
[ Hoolay: Later, someone looked thirty percent like you, and I panicked. ]
As soon as this title came out.
It quickly attracted a large crowd of players to watch!
And the content of the video.
Was exactly Yanqing defeating Hoolay with that similar strike.
The memories of Jingliu's past were spliced in between.
"Little brother, do you want to… take a strike from me?"
"Good courage."
Right after.
Blade's voice rang out.
"This strike, it looks so familiar!"
"Did that woman teach you?"
Finally.
It was Yanqing unleashing that strike.
Accompanied by the voice of Jingliu using her Ultimate—
"Let this round of moonlight illuminate all rivers!"
[ ??? ]
[ Damn it, before I clicked in, I thought it was some abstract fan creation, but in the end, you pulled this on me! ]
[ This title looks wrong at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it's actually quite right. ]
[ Hoolay: Let me see what these netizens are cooking up again? ]
[ No matter how much damage it dealt, this strike really scared Hoolay out of his mind! ]
[ You can't flame him for this, he was genuinely panicked. ]
[ Hoolay: Why is Jingliu still chasing me? ]
[ Cultivated ice resistance for 700 years, yet he couldn't even withstand the youthful version of "illuminate all rivers." ]
[ The episode that fits the title best! ]
[ Jingliu is truly everyone's dark moonlight! ]
…
The third hot topic.
This time, it was a post published by the enthusiastic player [ Emanator of Cat-Patting ].
[ Jingyuan: I taught you for so many years, and in the end, you only learned "illuminate all rivers" from her? ]
It was paired with a meme of Jingyuan covering his face.
Soon.
Many players also left comments.
[ Summary: Jingyuan taught nothing [facepalm] ]
[ Jingyuan taught him mentality. Yanqing is so young, yet he acts like an old man~ ]
[ Jingyuan: I teach you military strategy to make you a strategist, will you learn?
Yanqing: No, no, military strategy is so boring.
Jingyuan: Then I teach you to summon the Lightning-Lord to crush ten thousand armies, will you learn?
Yanqing: No, no, the Lightning-Lord takes too long to cast, and gets crowd-controlled easily.
Jingliu: Grandmaster teaches you "illuminate all rivers" so you can go stab people, and even defy your master. Will you learn?
Yanqing: I'll learn! ]
[ You naughty Yanqing, you won't learn this, and you won't learn that. Master will let you taste the discipline of the ruler! ]
[ Jingyuan: You mean… after all these years, you haven't learned a single one of my lightning techniques? Your Grandmaster only met you once, and you've already copied more than half of her Ultimate? ]
[ Yanqing: Master, you are too weak. Grandmaster is on a much higher level. You should leave quickly, or you won't make it to the Line 2 Starskiff in a bit… ]
…
At the same time.
The story in Guinaifen's livestream room was still continuing.
After sealing Hoolay.
Following a brief silence.
Hoolay seemed to go completely mad!
Although his body couldn't move.
He still swung the blade in his right hand!
He slashed down at the exhausted Yanqing below!
Just then!
A flash of light appeared!
Instantly sending Hoolay's blade flying!
Blocking right in front of Yanqing!
It was none other than the Feixiao, the Merlin's Claw!
And!
From the looks of it!
She only used two fingers, and it was her left hand!
To make Hoolay's weapon fly out of his hand!
…
"Nice, nice, nice!"
"The Merlin's Claw is here!"
"It's in the bag, it's in the bag!"
"Feixiao is so cool!"
"YANQING FINALLY HAD HIS MOMENT OF GLORY!!!"
"How is this Hoolay going to fight now?"
"Hahaha, I see it has already rushed into the top three on the real-time hot search list!"
"It's bound to take off!"
…
Beside them.
March 7th and Yunli finally reacted.
They quickly gathered around.
"You scared me to death! I thought you were almost finished by Hoolay. Thank goodness the General arrived in time," March 7th sighed.
Yunli, on the other hand, looked very pleasantly surprised. "Little brother Yanqing, you did great! That last strike that knocked Hoolay down, how come I've never seen you use it before?"
"Do you want to learn? I can teach you. But you'll have to wait until I recover from these injuries…"
Yunli said with a bit of embarrassment, "Although I'm a bit unwilling, if you can teach me, I can reluctantly admit that your level is just a tiny bit higher than mine…"
Feixiao said with a smile, "I didn't expect that for the first time in my life, I would be late to the battlefield. No, perhaps I should say the swords of you young people were just a bit too fast."
"I thought the best-case scenario would be for you young ones to join forces to hold back this beast and keep yourselves safe. But… you defeated Hoolay together. The youth are indeed to be feared."
"Come on, to avoid any more trouble, it's time to imprison Hoolay again."
Not far away.
Hoolay crawled on the ground.
He had already lost his ability to attack.
"What an impressive strike… so similar to when I was defeated by that woman [ Jingliu ] back then."
"More than seven hundred years have passed, and I thought I would have a way to crack it. But in the end… my fangs and claws have grown blunt. You won, kid."
"No need to struggle anymore, Hoolay. Back in the Shackling Prison, you will have plenty of time to be tortured by regret," Feixiao said calmly.
"I indeed lost, but this was not out of my expectation. But you still showed up, Feixiao."
In the bottom right corner.
Two options appeared.
[ (Deal with Hoolay) ]
[ (Wait for a moment) ]
Dealing with Hoolay was a matter of course.
But here, an option to exit suddenly appeared!
A flash of lightning went through Guinaifen's mind!
She suddenly woke up!
"Guys! There's a big battle coming!"
"According to the convention of Star Rail, before a big battle, there must be an option to leave!"
"Just like this!"
"And Hoolay said to Feixiao, 'But you still showed up.' This sentence seems to have a deep meaning!"
"There's something big coming up next!"
