Chapter 685: 685
Chapter 685: One Punch Man!
When a grenade that had been thrown returned to its sender, only two things could have been the cause of it . The first was that it had ricocheted because it had struck an object, and the second was that someone had struck it with a pan .
The first scenario could not have taken place because both of them had seen the grenade fly out the window .
The second scenario was somewhat plausible .
However, if that was the case, why wasn’t there a clank?
The sound of a pan striking a frag grenade was rather crisp and loud!
Hence, as they watched the frag grenade fly back toward them, many questions and doubts began to creep in their hearts .
However, the next moment!
All their thoughts converged into a single expression!
SH*T!
It has to be said that Kinguin had cooked the grenade before throwing it, and it would explode once it hit the ground .
It would have been great if the grenade was flying toward their enemy .
However, the grenade was flying straight toward them . They were in a scenario certainly worth panicking over!
Their immediate reflexes caused them to spring away on both sides like cats that had their tails stomped on!
However, it was too late…
On the big screen of the tournament, the grenade was seen detonating above their heads before it landed on the ground . It turned into a giant ball of fire in an instant .
A shockwave crushed the top of their heads like a tsunami .
Mxey and Kinguin stumbled on their feet and then fell head-first to the ground .
The next moment…
Two kill notifications appeared on the top right corner of the screen .
“Kinguin killed himself with frag grenade!”
“Kinguin killed Mxey with frag grenade!”
Two kills with one grenade!
The live audience members and live stream viewers were dumbfounded when they saw the scene .
Prior to this, the caster had set the camera to mimic Kinguin’s first-person perspective . They did not know what had caused the scene they were left with .
What was clear to them was that the grenade had not been returned by a pan . The sound of a pan striking something was too recognizable .
The three commentators on the platform looked at each other .
“What… happened?”
“I’m pretty sure it happened because of a pan . A sound bug may have ensued, causing the system to not play the sound clip . ”
“I think that’s a plausible explanation as well . ”
“Oh! The caster is replaying the scene . Let’s take a look . ”
The live audience members and live stream viewers had their eyes wide open . They watched the tournament screen eagerly, curious to know the truth .
The replay was not shown from Kinguin’s viewpoint . Instead, it was shown from God’s perspective which allowed the viewers to clearly see the players’ actions .
On the screen, an arc appeared from Kinguin’s hand as he aimed at the second-floor window while cooking a grenade . At that moment, Liu Zilang abruptly walked toward the window .
There was nothing in his hands . He had a hunch that something was amiss, and he thought of taking a peek from the window .
At that time, the grenade had just left Kinguin’s hand .
It flew past the iron bars of the grill .
At that instant of life and death
It was too late for Liu Zilang to take out his pan .
The live audience members had confusion written all over their faces . However, the next moment, their faces turned pale as though they had seen a ghost!

Liu Zilang was seen assuming a fighting stance . After focusing his concentration and slowing down his breathing rate, he threw out a punch!
It has to be said that the punch was extremely accurate!
It struck the grenade that was flying toward him precisely and caused it to change in direction .
A flash of fire!
The frag grenade exploded!
Everyone’s jaw dropped when they saw the incredible scene!
‘You can… play like that?’
‘It’s already hard enough to hit a grenade with a pan . How did Liu Zilang manage to hit it with his bare fists?’
‘It’s too fake… No wonder there was no sound earlier…”
In the game, Misaka Mikoto stood behind Liu Zilang like a tree stump .
This time, she dared not say, “Shifu, I want to learn that . ”
She had finally realized that in terms of skill, she was a small streamer compared to Liu Zilang who was like the vast ocean . No matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to follow his footsteps…
‘Shifu is too amazing!’
While Misaka Mikoto was reflecting on her abilities, a flurry of exclamations came from the commentary platform .
“Hiss~! Oh my god! Vic’s reaction speed does give people goosebumps!”
“Hm… It’s not so much about his reaction speed but more about his courage!”
“Yup, Boss Su is right . I mean, if you talk about us mortals, if we noticed a grenade flying directly toward us, even if we had a pan in our hands, our first reflex would be to dodge, right?”
“On the other hand, Vic daringly threw a punch at the grenade… Tsk tsk, I can’t imagine how bold he is . ”
“Heheh, it’s not so much about how bold he is, it’s about his heart as a professional esports player . ”

The praises from the commentary platform kept coming!
Meanwhile, Liu Zilang, as the first party involved in the scene, was trying to calm his heart that was beating hard . It was as if two elephants were running into each other in his heart .
‘That was a little too f*cking over the top!’
When he saw the grenade flying toward him, something in his brain sent the wrong signal . Hence, his first reaction was to throw a punch at it .
He only realized that he had done something stupid after his senses had returned… He turned his head to see his silly disciple looking at him with a face full of admiration, stars shining in her eyes .
Liu Zilang stilled his emotions . His face was expressionless, and he exuded the demeanor of a true pro .
‘Heheh…
‘Do you want to learn this?
‘Then say the words!’
‘I won’t teach you even if you say them!’
Peace resumed at the guard tower after the death of the two people .
Vivian who was on the first floor felt somewhat regretful .
She had been in a standoff with the two people outside, but they had self-destructed . If only she had known that they were such monkeys, she would have rushed into their faces while shooting .
What she did not hear, or know, was that their grenade had been returned with a bare punch . One would have never guessed that something other than the crisp sound of a pan could perform such a feat .
A minute and a half passed .
The circle refreshed .
There were seven teams and twelve people left on the battlefield . All of them were in the safe zone, so the shrinking circle did not cause too much friction between the teams .

Even so, the players left in the match could feel the mounting tension . Everyone was focused on the minimap on the lower right corner of their screens .
They were waiting for the second last circle to refresh!
Finally, the radioactive blue circle coincided with the boundary of the safe zone . Everyone’s heart began to beat a little faster .
Who has destiny chosen?
“Oh! It’s Vic! Vic has gotten the final destiny circle!”
“Oh my god! Vic received four consecutive destiny circles throughout the second half of the match!”
“Even with the mascot Menherchan boosting his luck, I think he has used up the rest of his luck for the rest of his life!”
“Their greatest enemy should be Vivian’s team now . ”
While the commentators were busy talking, the few teams at Factory were preparing to make their move .
The situation on the battlefield had become tense once more .
