Starforce Warriors

Chapter 207: Crushing Dry Weeds

Bai Longfei’s sword light flashed like lightning.

Shhhick.

The Grade One star beast in the lead, the Red-Eyed Spotted Dove, was cleaved in two. Grade One star beasts were roughly equivalent to human warriors at the Qi Refining Realm, with varying degrees of strength. For Bai Longfei, a small Grade One star beast like this was now easy to handle.

As Red Flag High School’s league performance improved, they had received more and more valuable resource rewards from the Education Department. Bai Longfei was one of the beneficiaries.

Thanks to a sufficient supply of Starforce Reagents, his long-built potential had finally been unleashed, and he had reached the tenth stage of the Qi Refining Realm. His combat strength had soared as he unleashed the Cross Lightning Sword technique Mr. Qin had taught him.

Beside him, Ren Dong scattered a wide spray of pale green medicinal powder. Bai Qiqi wielded a long whip, snapping it like a serpent. The three of them charged forward recklessly.

Soon, they were deep within the horde of beasts. Danger loomed all around.

But just then...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Sword qi tore through the air. Pale golden sword light streaked through the battlefield as star beasts fell like wheat under a scythe.

In the distance, Li Xiaofei strode forward confidently. His steps were almost leisurely, as if he were taking a casual stroll. Sword qi shot out with a simple flick of his fingers and sliced through dozens of meters of empty space. The whistling sword qi turned star beasts into lifeless husks.

On the other side, Yan Chiyu moved with an ethereal grace as she flickered from one position to another. The elegant, slender sword in her hand became a tool of death as each strike caused a star beast to stiffen and fall dead.

These two main combatants were working together for the first time and revealing their ferocious fangs. If one looked from above, they left nothing but ruins behind them as they advanced. The beast horde fell like grass in a storm.

Bai Longfei, Bai Qiqi, and Ren Dong were greatly encouraged by the sight. Star beasts continued to surge toward them, but they had been deliberately left by Li Xiaofei and Yan Chiyu to serve as grindstones for their comrades to hone their skills. Even so, the advance of the Red Flag High School team was astonishingly fast.

The scene stunned the spectators. It also shocked the Lanshan High School team on the battlefield.

How can this be happening? These are hundreds of Grade One star beasts, not hundreds of pigs. They are about to be completely slaughtered.

The confident expression on Zhou Yunong’s face was replaced with one of disbelief. He could feel the looming shadow of defeat. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him in a situation where he controlled so many star beasts and believed the battle to be in his favor. He couldn’t afford to hesitate and immediately activated a secret technique.

His hands formed a mysterious shape as if he was holding an ancient, mystical instrument. He brought it to his lips and began to play. A long, ancient melody drifted through the air.

At the same time, medic Dong Bao, in sync with Zhou Yunong, unstrapped the beast hide bag from his back and tossed it into the air. The wind blew a large amount of specially formulated berserk powder onto the beast horde.

When they heard the ancient melody and inhaled the powder, the beasts fell into a frenzied rage. Several Grade Two star beasts roared ferociously, their bloodshot eyes seeming to overflow with blood as they went berserk. Their massive bodies trampled their own kind into the ground as they charged toward Li Xiaofei and his team.

Grade Two star beasts were equivalent to experts at the Limit Breaking Realm. In their berserk state, they couldn’t distinguish between friend and foe. These star beasts were capable of causing immense destruction.

But even that was futile. They couldn’t withstand a single strike from Li Xiaofei’s Six Meridian Divine Sword. On the other side, Yan Chiyu’s thin sword thrusts also exhibited a terrifying lethality. Her form shifted and flickered as she weaved through the beast horde like a dancer on the edge of a blade. It didn’t matter if the star beast was Grade One or Grade Two, a single elegant sword strike would fell them.

Ultimately, the beast horde was completely decimated. Even the berserk star beasts, overwhelmed by the one-sided slaughter, began to experience a primal fear.

Bai Longfei, Bai Qiqi, and Ren Dong, covered in blood, along with the pristine Li Xiaofei and Yan Chiyu, finally stood before the Lanshan High School team.

Zhou Yunong suppressed his shock and took a deep breath.

"Attack!" He shouted as he launched an attack at Li Xiaofei.

The other four members of his team, without hesitation, bit down on the pills hidden in their mouths. These pills were similar to Certain Death Pills that could temporarily boost one’s strength. They were common in this era, and almost every team and medic possessed the knowledge to concoct such substances.

Facing overwhelming odds, Lanshan High School chose to fight to the death. It was their first time using these pills this season.

But, it was all in vain. Ten minutes later, all the members of Lanshan High School vanished into streams of data, while Red Flag High School remained at full strength.

Although Bai Longfei, Bai Qiqi, and Ren Dong looked a bit battered, they had won! The three of them wiped the blood from their faces, exchanged glances, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. They realized one thing from this battle.

The championship was no longer an unattainable dream.

Li Xiaofei and Yan Chiyu also exchanged looks. The boy was amazed by the girl's miraculously precise swordsmanship. The girl, in turn, was astonished by the sheer dominance the boy had displayed.

Their teamwork had been incredibly smooth during the battle. Even though it was their first time fighting side by side, there was an almost instinctive harmony between them. Perhaps this was the unspoken connection between true geniuses.

Outside the arena, the various livestreams were in an uproar. No one had anticipated such a strategy or outcome. It was unbelievable.

Even in the worst-case scenario where someone had predicted that Lanshan High School might lose, no one would have expected them to lose like this. They had been utterly crushed in a head-on battle.

It was evident in the expressions of Zhou Yunong and his team members as they stepped out of the light core cockpit. The members of Lanshan High School's team looked like they had lost their souls. The battle had completely shattered them.

Head coach Zhou Yan tried various methods to comfort and motivate them, but it was all in vain. The team members seemed like their spirits had been broken, They couldn’t focus at all.

Even their core member, Zhou Yunong, had lost his usual confidence and swagger as he remained uncharacteristically silent. He seemed to be trapped in a state of depression as his aura strained like an old man in the twilight of his life.

The outcome of the next two team battles was all but decided.

Red Flag High School secured a clean and decisive victory. Their 3-0 sweep of Lanshan High School not only ended their opponent's undefeated streak but also officially announced Red Flag High School's powerful rise.

"This was a match of great significance," said Shen Yan, the top Li Xiaofei fan, with absolute certainty during the livestream.

"Li Xiaofei shouted the slogan to win the championship during the match, and they backed it up by completely overpowering Lanshan High School. They’ve proved that they absolutely deserve to be champions. The sentence “the wolf is coming” has been heard for years for the five prestigious schools, but this year, Red Flag High School, that wolf, has truly arrived."

"The crushing defeat of Lanshan High School has made everyone realize the terrifying strength of Red Flag High School. If the undefeated kings can fall, who can stand in the way of Red Flag High School?"

"Li Xiaofei, the league’s big boss."

Commentators and streamers across the board praised Red Flag High School and Li Xiaofei.

This battle made one thing clear to everyone, Li Xiaofei's strength had now exceeded his peers. He alone could carry an entire team. He has descended like a dark overlord, casting a shadow over the other teams in the league. This was the beginning of Li Xiaofei’s reign of terror.

At the same time, shocking results were coming in from another match in this round of the league.
