A short while after Qin Feng's 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' went online, it exploded instantly.
Because Qin Feng had advertised it beforehand, and coupled with his massive fan base,
people were refreshing Qin Feng's homepage at every moment.
Thus, the moment 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' went online, it was spotted by many.
Then... hundreds of comments appeared instantly below.
Trumpet Blower: Hahaha, I'm here! First floor, I'm on the first floor!
Crazy Bookworm: What trumpet are you blowing? Your hand speed is way too slow, I'm the genuine first floor!
Great Emperor Fan Club Leader: Stop arguing, you two upstairs. Look, it's been less than a minute and the comments have already broken a hundred! The Great Emperor's popularity is truly terrifying!
A Wuxia Fan: I've been waiting for so long, finally 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' is online! Great Emperor, please update more, please update!
Xiao Erlang: Wait, with the Great Emperor's update speed, you're still asking for more? Looking at the word count, it's already a million... wait, over a million? Is this damn thing already finished?
Plot Deduction Emperor: I suspect 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' must be related to 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' and 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'. After all, the author said so before. And I bet the protagonist is Zhang Wuji!
Jianghu Newbie: The person upstairs is amazing, even guessing the protagonist. I just hope the Jianghu under the author's pen is as wonderful as the previous two works!
...It wasn't just the comments; the data for 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' was also soaring continuously.
In less than a minute, the collection count directly broke a million.
One must know that some Divine Creators cannot achieve this data in their entire lives.
Even some Great God-level Divine Creators would need to write over half of their book
to reach these numbers.
But Qin Feng's new book only took a short minute
to reach this data.
It could be said to be truly terrifying!
Moreover, this data was only the beginning.
At two minutes, one and a half million.
Three minutes, two point two million.
...At twenty-seven minutes, the collections directly broke eight million,
instantly setting a record for Two-Star Divine Creators!
This record was already close to the top-tier existence in history,
not to mention the speed of these collections,
which was simply astonishing.
From this, one could see how high the Red-Haired Emperor's popularity had become.
Although there was still a large gap compared to top-tier Divine Creators,
most of those who liked Wuxia had become fans of the Red-Haired Emperor.
This caused many to cry out, 'Great Emperor, please stop,
leave some room for the Divine Creators behind you to survive!'
As time passed, more and more people added it to their collections and subscribed.
Soon, the book rushed to the top of the Two-Star Divine Creator subscription rankings!
However, a few minutes later, it disappeared from the top spot.
This left many people bewildered for a moment.
"Did the System detect a problem with the Great Emperor's new book?"
This was everyone's first thought.
But soon, someone discovered they were wrong,
terribly wrong!
The Great Emperor's new book wasn't flagged for an anomaly,
it was finished!
In just a few short hours, the Red-Haired Emperor's 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' was declared complete; this speed was simply jaw-dropping.
Even the Great Emperor's previous new books weren't this fast!
Midnight White: Holy crap, am I seeing this right? The new book hasn't been out for half an hour and it's already finished? Great Emperor, others come here to create, you're just here to play, right?
Xuanhuan Little Prince: Hahaha, White, you're being funny again. The Great Emperor isn't here to play, he's here to break records! Finishing a new book in half an hour, this speed is just insane!
Pepper: I have to say, the Red-Haired Emperor is truly a god-like existence, bringing us surprises every time. 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' is finished as soon as it's online, letting people enjoy it all at once!
Your Love: But honestly, I didn't expect the protagonist of the new book to appear so late. But it's really good; I hope it can be made into a TV show!
...At this moment, Tang Ya also let out a cry of surprise.
At first, she thought the protagonist was Zhang Cuishan, but in the blink of an eye, it became Zhang Wuji.
This situation where the protagonist appears so late was simply astonishing.
One must know that the three elements of web novels nowadays
are: a Golden Finger at the start, a shining Plot Armor, and leveling up like drinking water.
These three elements have almost become standard for web novels; many Divine Creators follow this formula.
Furthermore, the protagonist must be fast; in the first three chapters, or even the first chapter,
there must be a climax, a face-slapping moment, and power-fantasy elements,
only then can readers be hooked.
After all, in today's society, the pace is too fast,
and not many people can stay calm
and have the patience to keep reading!
Otherwise, it's very easy for a book to fail miserably.
But the Red-Haired Emperor was different; he completely broke these conventions.
His stories never followed the usual rules, yet they gave readers endless surprises and expectations.
In this 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber', the protagonist Zhang Wuji didn't appear until very late, and he went through so many hardships and trials as soon as he debuted.
This style of writing not only tested the Divine Creator's skill but also the readers' patience.
"The protagonist only appears after hundreds of thousands of words."
"Only the Great Emperor can pull off something like this."
"But it's still so good!"
Tang Ya's eyes were full of hearts as she continued reading.
Soon, Tang Ya was completely immersed in the story.
Tears flickered in her eyes from time to time.
This state lasted for most of the day,
and only after she finished the entire story
did she return to normal.
At this point, Tang Ya realized a problem.
"Wait, it's... finished?"
"Finished again?"
Tang Ya looked bewildered.
Yesterday she was happy because she could read a new book for several days,
but in just over half a day, it was finished?
Tang Ya could hardly believe her eyes.
She quickly refreshed the page and confirmed that 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' indeed showed as completed.
A complex mix of emotions welled up in her heart, both loss and joy.
The loss was because she hadn't properly enjoyed the pleasure of following the updates before the book ended.
The joy was that she could finally finish the whole story without the agony of waiting for updates.
Tang Ya took a deep breath, clicked on the final chapter again, and began to read carefully.
She wanted to feel that Jianghu world once more and accompany Zhang Wuji through those winding paths again.
Of course, the culprit behind all this, Qin Feng, was completely unaware.
At this moment, he was in the middle of intense filming work.
"Yes, just like that, very good."
"Alright, let's stop here for today. Everyone take a break, have some dinner, and then we'll continue."
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
There was sweat on Qin Feng's face.
He had been busy here for most of the day.
And the results were quite good.
