Starforce Warriors-Chapter 369: Master Is Above

"Big brother?" Zhang Zhihong was startled and looked at Li Xiaofei. But when he saw Li Xiaofei's calm expression, he knew there was no need to worry about the situation.

Soon, someone connected to the line. Li Xiaofei answered the call without hesitation.

Swish.

A flash of light appeared as a burly man with a square face suddenly materialized inside the ancient martial arts hall. This man had a resolute face, bright eyes, bulging muscles, and exuded a powerful aura.

What stood out the most were his fists, which were twice the size of an average person's. His knuckles were prominent, and the skin of his hands was slightly darker, making them look like a pair of massive iron hammers.

Isn't this the martial technique streamer Three Fists Shaking the Heavens?

One of the viewers immediately recognized him. It turned out that this towering man was also a streamer on the Longya Group platform. Moreover, he was a somewhat well-known martial technique streamer. His name was Guo Zong'ao, and was famous for his mastery of martial techniques.

It was clear now that this was a planned challenge. Many of the experienced viewers instantly understood what was going on. This Kuang Henzilao was undoubtedly a fan of Three Fists Shaking the Heavens Guo Zong'ao. He had deliberately stirred up trouble, and now he had brought the main man himself. This was very common in the live-streaming world.

The entire live-streaming pie was only so big. Every time a new streamer emerged, they were inevitably trying to snatch a share of that pie from the older streamers, and they would certainly face suppression from many of those veterans.

Newcomers who wanted to make a name for themselves had to pass through numerous challenges. The competition was especially fierce between new and old streamers of the same genre.

Li Xiaofei was teaching martial techniques on his first day of streaming. How could he not attract the attention of other martial technique streamers?

This Three Fists Shaking the Heavens Guo Zong'ao was clearly the first to jump out and try to suppress Li Xiaofei.

This is my big brother. He is the true successor of the Great Strength Vajra Fist.

Today, my big brother can't take it anymore and is here to teach this fraud streamer a harsh lesson.

It’s time to let this fraud know that the light-network is not a lawless place; deceiving others under someone else's banner won't be tolerated.

Kuang Henzilao continuously spammed the chat with these messages.

Li Xiaofei looked at Guo Zong'ao and said, "Do you admit to what he's saying?"

Guo Zong'ao puffed out his chest proudly and laughed, "Of course, Little Kuang is my loyal fan. He's been tirelessly supporting me all these years. He knows me best, so what he says is what I say... Heh, kid, if you admit defeat now and leave the Longya Group site, it's not too late. Otherwise, you're going to be embarrassed."

"And if I don't leave?" Li Xiaofei asked calmly.

Guo Zong'ao sneered, "Then I'll beat you until you do... Haha, since you dared to title your stream Ascend to Sainthood, you wouldn't be afraid to fight me, would you?"

"Fight you?" Zhang Zhihong, the streaming assistant, seized the opportunity to make his presence known.

He sneered, "My big brother is a busy man; he's only streaming for fun. He's not someone some random nobody can challenge. If you want to challenge him, you'll need to put something on the line first."

"What stakes?" Guo Zong'ao asked.

Zhang Zhihong smiled faintly and said, "Start by paying a challenge fee. Send a Little Dragon gift."

Guo Zong'ao immediately sent a Little Dragon gift in the livestream. In an instant, a dazzling visual effect appeared as a silver dragon soared through the sky with claws extended, resembling a magnificent creature from creation myths. It was stunningly beautiful before it slowly faded away.

The viewers in the livestream erupted in excitement.

10,000 star coins dropped just like that.

"I’ve sent it. What’s next?" Guo Zong'ao pressed aggressively.

Zhang Zhihong sneered, "Simple. If you lose, you'll send ten more Little Dragons. Do you dare?"

"Ten?" Guo Zong'ao sneered coldly. "You really have the nerve to ask for that much."

"If you don't dare to bet, then get lost," Zhang Zhihong retorted disdainfully.

Infuriated, Guo Zong'ao declared on the spot, "Ten it is, I—"

"No need for such trouble." Suddenly, Li Xiaofei interrupted, "If you win, I'll return the Little Dragon, shut down my stream and never appear again. But if you lose, you’ll become my disciple and train under me. How about that?"

"You... You dare insult me like this?" Guo Zong'ao was enraged.

A newcomer in the livestreaming world dared to be this arrogant? He wanted to make a well-known streamer like him take on the role of a student? The audacity!

"There's been a misunderstanding; I didn't mean to insult you." Li Xiaofei's voice remained calm as he continued, "On the path of martial arts, the strong are the teachers. If you lose to me, it just proves my martial technique is superior, so becoming your master wouldn’t be an insult, would it?"

Guo Zong'ao froze for a moment. It did seem to make sense.

Zhang Zhihong sneered, "Just say whether you dare or not. If you're afraid, then leave. How can you come here to challenge someone when you're so hesitant?"

Guo Zong'ao gritted his teeth. "Fine, I agree."

Immediately, the two signed a light-core electronic agreement and the duel began.

Guo Zong'ao activated his inner qi. Ten vortices appeared around his body, symbolizing the completion of the tenth stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Ten points on his body started to glow like small suns, representing the breaking of ten shackles.

Then, one hundred and twenty star-like points of light manifested, rotating around him, signifying the perfection of his one hundred and twenty meridian points. Next, ten star-river-like beams of light surged within his body, symbolizing the Ten Meridian Stage of the Meridian Expanding Realm.

An overwhelming aura radiated from him. He assumed his stance. His opening move was none other than the first technique of the Great Strength Vajra Fist, the Vajra Thunderous Strike.

It was executed flawlessly. Many viewers in the livestream immediately widened their eyes in astonishment.

Huh?

Three Fists Shaking the Heavens Guo Zong'ao actually knew this move?

Not only that, but he appeared to be quite skilled at it. It’s not something hastily cultivated.

Even Zhang Zhihong was slightly taken aback. However, Li Xiaofei remained calm, a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

Guo Zong'ao's Great Strength Vajra Fist seemed impressive, full of energy and vigor, but in reality, it was all for show. It reminded Li Xiaofei of how Jiumozhi, in the novels, used Little Formless Technique to simulate the Shaolin Temple’s seventy-two ultimate techniques, creating an effect that fooled most people. But it couldn’t fool him.

"Make your move," Li Xiaofei beckoned him with a gesture.

"Die!" Guo Zong'ao shouted coldly as he unleashed a punch.

His fist moved like lightning. It seemed so powerful that it felt like it could split the sky and shatter the earth. The sound of the energy explosion was deafening.

The viewers who entered the virtual livestream room felt as if everything had gone black in front of them as the force hit them in the face. It was like a mountain had collapsed on top of them. Even those watching through their screens could feel the terrifying force of the punch.

However, Li Xiaofei, who was directly in the line of attack, didn’t dodge. He simply raised his hand and extended a single finger that shattered the explosive force. It dispersed the energy until it landed on Guo Zong’ao’s fist like a gentle spring breeze.

In an instant, everything went silent. Guo Zong'ao's earth-shattering punch was arrested right at the finger. It didn’t move an inch further. The expression on Guo Zong'ao's face also froze. Everyone in the livestream held their breath.

"Your punch is all form and lacks true essence." Li Xiaofei's voice was calm as he said, "Let me show you the real power of the Great Strength Vajra Fist, activated by the Meridian Expanding Realm at the Ten Meridian Stage."

He retracted his finger, clenched his fist, and threw a punch. A streak of energy shot past Guo Zong'ao’s temple with a deafening roar.

Far behind him, a hundred-meter-high rock face was instantly pierced by the punch, leaving a ten meter diameter hole. The rock peak a hundred meters beyond the rock face also shattered, leaving a fan-shaped valley in its wake.

Only then did the sound of the explosion, the crumbling rocks, and the collapsing peak reverberate across the land. The viewers in the livestream were utterly dumbfounded.

Guo Zong'ao's eyes widened in disbelief. He stood motionless, unable to move an inch. Large beads of cold sweat rolled down his temple.

This...This is the power of the Five Spirits Realm! That punch was supersonic! So this is the true strength of the Great Strength Vajra Fist?

Li Xiaofei withdrew his fist and smiled faintly. "Well? Do you admit defeat?"

As the fist pulled away from his temple, Guo Zong'ao felt an overwhelming sense of relief, as if the blade of death that had been hovering over his neck had finally been taken away. He regained control of his body, gasping for breath uncontrollably.

Then...

Thud!

Guo Zong'ao dropped to his knees, gritting his teeth. "I accept my loss. Master, please accept my bow as your disciple."

He completed the formal apprenticeship ceremony without hesitation.

Zhang Zhihong chuckled from the side, "You’re a man of your word, I'll give you that. For someone as big as you... shouldn't you call me Uncle?"

Guo Zong'ao stood up and glared at him. "Who do you think you are?"

Zhang Zhihong was speechless.

Li Xiaofei turned to Guo Zong'ao and said, "Do you know why your punch earlier was far weaker than mine?"

Guo Zong'ao remained silent.

Li Xiaofei continued, "It’s because your qi flow frequency and conversion rhythm were off. Although your technique was flawless, you couldn’t achieve inner-outer unity, nor could you harmonize form and spirit. That’s why you couldn't unleash the true power of the Vajra Thunderous Strike."

He then continued to provide a detailed explanation. Initially, Guo Zong'ao was ready to leave. But to his surprise, Li Xiaofei genuinely offered guidance on his martial technique. Guo Zong'ao gradually went from agitated and restless to deeply engrossed. It took him a mere ten minutes to fully grasp the essence of the martial technique.

Boom!

He threw another punch. The force shot out like a pillar of light, breaking the sound barrier and tearing through the air. Although it didn’t come close to competing with Li Xiaofei’s punch, it was several times stronger than any of his previous strikes.

"This..." Guo Zong'ao was stunned.

It had only been half an hour. Yet his combat strength had increased as much as it had from years of hard training. He stood frozen, his mind a whirlwind of emotions.

Finally, as if awakening to a profound realization, he dropped to his knees once more before Li Xiaofei.

With deep respect, Guo Zong'ao said, "Master, please accept three bows from your disciple, Guo Zong'ao."

The sound of his kowtows echoed like thunder. This time, it was with genuine sincerity and complete submission. Meanwhile, the viewers in the livestream exploded in excitement once again.

This was miraculous!
