Starforce Warriors

Chapter 93: RUSH Tactic Again?

"The second round of the team mode is about to begin. Neither team has changed their starting players. After the crushing defeat in the first round, the Longteng High School team seems to have recovered from the shadow of their loss and are filled with fighting spirit."

"I must admit, Li Xiaofei's performance in the first match was truly terrifying."

"Indeed, Li Xiaofei's display was undoubtedly the most heroic and spectacular performance since the season opener."

"I'm very curious, what is the cultivation level of this prodigy from Red Flag High School?"

"Could he be at the Limit Breaking Realm?"

"No, his starforce qi hasn't undergone a qualitative change."

"Everyone thought today's match would be a one-sided slaughter, but Fist King Li Xiaofei single-handedly changed everything. The match's outcome is now uncertain again."

"Yes, there's uncertainty now."

"Uncertainty? Coach Song, do you think Longteng High School still has a chance?"

"They still have a chance. After all, they are a veteran strong team with deep foundations. As long as they play steadily and follow their strategy to coordinate the four professions, they still have a chance to defeat Li Xiaofei."

In the media area, the commentators were analyzing the previous match, which had left them all in awe. Such a miraculous comeback, which was rare even in an entire season, had touched everyone's hearts.

In the livestream, Little White Dragon in the Waves Shen Yan shouted, "Uncertainty? That's a joke. Li Xiaofei can crush Longteng High School by himself. I'm not worried about Red Flag High School at all. Friends, let's look forward to another high-level display of individual heroism."

At some point, the little assistant Little You had disappeared from the live stream.

Uh-oh, the assistant might have fainted from hunger.

What a cute little assistant, stuck with a stingy boss.

Does anyone know which area of the stadium the assistant is in? I can go feed her some milk.

Is that really your intention? I won't even bother to expose you.

In the livestream, some seasoned viewers were starting to make inappropriate jokes again. Overall, the atmosphere in the chat was positive. The number of online viewers had surpassed 100,000. This was the highest peak Little White Dragon in the Waves Shen Yan had ever reached since starting his streams. Several super moderators were lurking among the viewers, ready to handle any sudden issues.

Initially, they were there to warn Shen Yan. They were there to remind him to watch his language, not insult the audience or bash his teammates, and to avoid doing that cringe-inducing hip dance. But when they saw the skyrocketing number of viewers and the soaring ratings, the super moderators quickly changed their stance. Now, they just wanted to support Little White Dragon in the Waves as best as they could.

Li Xiaofei and his team approached the light core mainframe cockpit. The on-site referees and officials began to inspect their equipment and confirm that the cockpit was functioning correctly.

Five pairs of eyes filled with hatred were fixed on Li Xiaofei. He turned his head and saw Zheng Shou, Guan Guan, Jia Yiyu, Xing Yuantao, and Feng Yuzhen glaring at him as if they wanted to tear him apart.

Even Fang Buyi and the other three could feel the immense pressure from facing such a well-established strong team. But not Li Xiaofei.

"They're just a bunch of losers," he said with a light laugh.

He met their gazes and drew his hand over his throat. It was the same gesture Zheng Shou had used to taunt him before the first match. Now, Li Xiaofei was returning the favor.

"Just wait," Zheng Shou sneered. "I won't give you any chances this time. I'll knock you back down to the ground."

"The barking of a defeated dog is meaningless," Li Xiaofei sneered back, walking towards his light core cockpit. "I hope your performance matches even a tenth of your trash talk."

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The light core main cockpit started up. Neural bundles with delicate suction tips attached themselves to the players' bodies.

A moment later, Li Xiaofei entered the light core virtual world. The players were not immediately transferred to the battlefield map. There was a countdown for adjustments and preparations before the match officially began.

The countdown was three minutes. After the three minutes passed, the system displayed the randomly selected map information.

It's Sky City again?

Li Xiaofei was quite surprised. Getting Sky City twice in a row was indeed a low probability.

Swoosh.

A beam of light flashed. Li Xiaofei was transported to the east district of Sky City. This time, the visiting team, Red Flag High School, had their base in the east city. The system had swapped the districts for both teams.

Li Xiaofei leaped onto a tall building and looked over the city. He quickly found his bearings. This time, he didn’t choose to head to the tactical meeting point. Instead, he sprinted directly toward the central dividing river of Sky City.

"Oh? Li Xiaofei is on the move. He's charging toward the west district. Is he planning to use a RUSH tactic to single-handedly break through Longteng High School's defenses?"

"Not a wise move."

"Indeed, it takes at least thirty minutes to reach Longteng's gathering point."

"In those thirty minutes, the Longteng team will have created weapons, armor, and various traps..."

"Exactly. We see that Longteng High School was prepared. They anticipated Li Xiaofei's solo RUSH tactic and are quickly gathering resources... "

"A very smart choice."

The commentators professionally and swiftly analyzed the battlefield situation.

But Li Xiaofei only rushed to the central dividing river of Sky City and then stopped.

There were 100-meter-high watchtowers on the east and west banks of the river. Li Xiaofei climbed up the eastern watchtower, observing the movements on the other side from a high vantage point.

He didn't plan to single-handedly rush the opponent. Instead, he was preparing for a possible rush from the other side. Perhaps Li Xiaofei alone could wipe out the Longteng team even if they were prepared. But this match had a goal more important than winning for Li Xiaofei.

He wanted to help his teammates rebuild their confidence in the competition. He wanted them to realize that they were not useless burdens but valuable members who could contribute significantly to the team.

So Li Xiaofei positioned himself on the front lines like a sentinel. This allowed his teammates to gather resources, hunt and tame star beasts, and craft weapons with full confidence. They were preparing thoroughly for the final showdown. This was the proper way to play the game.

Time passed. The broadcast showed both teams searching the ancient city for resources. After watching from the watchtower for a while, Li Xiaofei made his move.
