Starforce Warriors

Chapter 165: Fan Of Your Talent

Red Flag High School won team mode with a 2 to 0 score. However, unlike Longteng High School, who had accepted defeat when the outcome was decided, Hongye High School chose to continue fighting.

In the third match, Hongye High School gave their all once again. They challenged Li Xiaofei one by one on the battlefield. Although it seemed like they were taking advantage of a wheel battle, in reality, it was more like they were offering themselves up to the demon king.

Li Xiaofei accepted their challenges with the Great Strength Vajra Fist. After reaching the tenth stage of the Qi Refining Realm, his starforce qi and physical state allowed him to fully utilize this martial technique. It had reached its pinnacle in his hands.

He refrained from lethal strikes as he won each duel. Then, the other four members of Red Flag High School also issued one-on-one challenges to Hongye High School.

These battles were nearly devoid of killing intent, as both sides were more focused on sparring and validating their skills. Occasionally, they would stop to discuss and clarify their understanding of medicine, pharmacology, beast mastery, summoning beasts, and other areas.

In a situation where the outcome was already decided, such practices were permitted by the rules of the light core world. The Education Department even encouraged this approach. The purpose of the league was to promote the growth of the students, not to foster hatred.

Finally, after forty minutes, the match came to an end. The five members of Hongye High School all cupped their fists and saluted Li Xiaofei. The members of Red Flag High School returned the gesture. It was the highest form of etiquette in the martial world.

The reason for the one-on-one challenges was to feel the pressure Li Xiaofei could exert and to seek opportunities to break through their own bottlenecks. It proved to be the right choice as Huang Yueyu, Liu Yao, and others experienced breakthroughs in their starforce cultivation after the battle.

The members of Hongye High School simultaneously sent a concession command to the system.

"The winner of this match is Red Flag High School..."

The final verdict of the light core system echoed both inside and outside the arena. All matches had concluded. Hongye High School had won solo mode, while Red Flag High School continued their undefeated streak in team mode.

Wang Siyu led his teammates on a lap around the field, thanking the more than 100,000 spectators. They were met with a tidal wave of applause. Hongye fans continued to support their idols. Despite their loss, they had fought this match with honor.

"Peaks give birth to false supporters, but twilight witnesses the true apostles," Shen Yan remarked in his livestream. "However, this defeat does not signify the arrival of twilight for Hongye High School. On the contrary, they remain highly competitive in the league. The most sincere applause from Hongye fans is given to those they support. Hongye's fans and players are both worthy of respect, even from Red Flag High School."

On the other side. Qin Quan, in his live commentary, also offered his congratulations to Red Flag High School.

"After this battle, it's clear that another top-tier team has emerged in the league. And this achievement came even without their key player, Yan Chiyu. Once Yan Chiyu returns, they have the potential to reach even greater heights."

Other commentators and streamers also gave high praise to both teams' performances.

"Hongye High School, though defeated, remains honorable."

"Red Flag High School is on the verge of a breakthrough."

"Amidst the recent wave of New Martial Arts surgeries, Hongye High School and Red Flag High School are among the few that have not adopted Jiepeng’s new surgery. They still uphold their own traditional martial arts."

"A fierce debate has erupted online about whether to embrace the new era or stick to traditional martial arts."

"This debate is likely to continue extensively in the near future."

"Regardless, with star beasts surrounding humanity, breakthroughs are necessary."

The commentators continued to discuss and debate the implications.

On the field, both teams exchanged contact information. They agreed to spar with each other on the light-network in the future.

"Li Xiaofei, can I add you on LightChat?" Liu Yao asked with a bright smile.

The young man before her exuded an unprecedented strength, and his handsome appearance was exactly her type. Faced with a friend request from a beautiful girl, Li Xiaofei agreed without hesitation.

"Li Xiaofei, let's spar more when you have time," Huang Yueyu also approached with a smile. "Just try not to be so ruthless next time."

She too had developed a favorable impression of Li Xiaofei and added him on LightChat.

Damn it. Why does this guy have such luck with women?

Bai Longfei watched from the side, feeling a mix of envy and resentment.

Clearly, we’re all good-looking... Never mind. Li Xiaofei is indeed tougher.

He realized he needed to be diligent about his own cultivation.

Meanwhile, Gu Haochen had completely turned into a Li Xiaofei fanboy. "Li Xiaofei, what's your light core super account? Let's add each other as friends so we can spar online."

Li Xiaofei replied, "I'll add you when I get back."

He wasn't ready to reveal his account, Your Grandpa, just yet.

An official from the Education Department reminded both teams to go for their post-match interviews. Reporters from dozens of different websites, TV stations, and livestream platforms divided up the ten players, each throwing out carefully prepared questions.

On the other side, Principal Chen Fei was chatting and laughing with the beautiful Xiao Hongye. The interviews concluded quickly as the spectators in the stands had already left. The stadium staff began cleaning up.

Principal Xiao Hongye invited the entire Red Flag High School team to stay for the post-match banquet. As a school known for its wealth in Liuhe Base City, Hongye High School provided high-quality hospitality.

Eight main dishes, four vegetable dishes, two soups and energy drinks. The Red Flag High School team and their cheering squad ate heartily without hesitation.

Additionally, some media members with close ties to Hongye High School also attended the banquet.

"Li Xiaofei." A clean and scholarly young man approached Li Xiaofei and politely said, "Can we get acquainted? My name is..."

Li Xiaofei stood up and interrupted, "Little White Dragon in the Waves, Shen Yan, the big streamer! Haha, I know you. Thanks for speaking up for me recently. I didn't know you were here; otherwise, I would have greeted you first."

Shen Yan was overjoyed. The seemingly arrogant Li Xiaofei on and off the field was surprisingly approachable in person.

"You are my idol," Shen Yan said excitedly. "I've followed all your performances since your first match. I hope my videos and livestreams haven't caused you any trouble."

Li Xiaofei replied, "I'm grateful; how could it be trouble?"

"Can I add you on LightChat?" asked Shen Yan, seizing the opportunity.

"Of course, I'll add you," Li Xiaofei said, taking out his mini light core and adding Shen Yan as a friend.

“Me too, me too.” A big-breasted, long-legged beauty came over and spoke around a mouthful of braised pork elbow, “Add me, add me, add me.”

“Little You,” said Li Xiaofei. He immediately recognized the naturally naive beauty.

Little You, struggling to swallow the meat in her mouth, excitedly said, “Brother Xiaofei, you know me?”

Li Xiaofei replied, “Of course, I'm a fan of your talent.”

Shen Yan was speechless.

Little You has talent?

“Really?” Little You excitedly asked, “Idol, what talent of mine do you like?”

Li Xiaofei smiled lightly and said, “Your talent for wearing black stockings.”

Little You was stunned. Then she pumped her fist and vowed, “From now on, I'll only wear black stockings during my livestreams.”

Everyone enjoyed themselves until the banquet ended.

Before leaving, the beautiful principal Xiao Hongye suddenly appeared in front of Li Xiaofei and said, “Li Xiaofei, please stay for a bit. I have something to discuss with you. I’ll personally see you off later.”

"Huh?"

Li Xiaofei was taken aback. He turned to look at the peach-blossom-eyed principal.

The principal didn’t miss a beat. "You stay."

He patted Li Xiaofei on the shoulder, grabbed Fang Buyi and the others, and left. When he saw Xiao Hongye’s triumphant smile, Li Xiaofei suddenly felt like a lamb walking into a lion's den.

Did I just get... sold out?
