Hake's elimination skyrocketed Guding's points to over eight million, taking over the thirteenth place previously held by Hake on the Points Leaderboard.
Discovering the sudden surge in Guding's points, many in the Fiery Flame Zone started to panic.
In fact, aside from the people in the Fiery Flame Zone, there were also many strong players from other areas who noticed the change in Guding's points. Many of them had taken notice of Hake's presence; and although they did not know how strong Hake was, just seeing his points skyrocket to thirteenth place on the leaderboard in a short time was enough to judge his strength—at least being among the top contenders. With Hake's name disappearing from the leaderboard and Guding taking his place, it was not difficult to imagine what had just happened.
Of course, not everyone had this level of self-awareness.
