Starforce Warriors-Chapter 378: Who’s The Little Red Riding Hood

Brother Dao decided to take a different approach to strike back this time as he made several phone calls.

“Sorry, I really can’t help you this time. That guy’s information is highly confidential.”

“I can only tell you one thing; the son of the big boss has spoken. He thinks highly of Grandmaster of Heaven.”

“Brother, I have a family to support. I really can’t afford to help you this time, but next time, for sure.”

“To be honest, you won’t win any respect by using underhanded tactics like this, even if you win the fight. Why not challenge him directly and defeat him using the methods of the martial arts world? That way, the company can’t touch you, and your fans will admire you again.”

Several people politely declined to help. But the information they revealed was substantial. Brother Dao hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

Longya Group was one of the few corporate giants in the Great Xia country. Its big boss was a legendary figure who had built the company from the ground up and was renowned both domestically and internationally. Rumor had it that his strength was unfathomable, and he had close personal connections with several high-ranking officials in the country.

This was a man who truly had the strength that could reach the heavens. But the one person this big boss cherished most was his only son. This mysterious young man was an elusive figure even among the circles of the rich second generation. Brother Dao hadn’t expected that this young heir had taken a liking to Grandmaster of Heaven.

Wait a second?

Could this Grandmaster of Heaven actually be the alter ego of Longya Group's big boss’ son?

The thought flashed through Brother Dao's mind, and he suddenly became excited. This was a golden opportunity. If he could defeat Grandmaster of Heaven in a legitimate, open fight, his status in the rich second-generation circles would undoubtedly skyrocket.

At that point, all those people who mocked him for live-streaming like an entertainer, calling it a waste of time, would be forced to kneel and acknowledge his victory.

That settled it!

Brother Dao felt like he had finally found the right plan. Defeating that kid head-on shouldn’t be too difficult, right? Still, to be cautious, he decided to add an extra layer of security. So, he dialed the number of a classmate from Beixia University.

"Hey, I’ve got a job for you. Same deal as usual: 10,000 for showing up, and if you need to take action, I’ll add another 40,000 star coins." Brother Dao spoke boldly.

"Deal." The reply came without hesitation.

Brother Dao’s classmate was from Beixia University. He was also one of the top students in the Cold Weapons Close Combat major at Beixia University’s Ancient Martial Arts Academy.

However, the guy came from a poor family and had to take care of a younger sibling. He relied on scholarships to get by and was usually tight on money. That’s why Brother Dao had targeted him and established a long-term partnership.

Whenever Brother Dao ran into problems in the light-network virtual world that he couldn’t handle alone, he would call on this classmate for help.

The next day, it was time for the live stream once again. When Li Xiaofei entered the stream on time, Zhang Zhihong and the three disciples were already there, waiting for him ahead of schedule.

Within mere seconds of starting the stream, the number of viewers had already surpassed the 500,000 mark. The stream's heat index exceeded ten million. Subscriber numbers had reached over 480,000.

Even though Li Xiaofei had mentally prepared himself, he was still astonished. The growth was too fast. It was like a cow being launched into space. It was beyond amazing.

Most streamers had to work hard and put on a show during their live broadcasts to gain followers. But for him, the numbers exploded after he went offline. This gave Li Xiaofei a newfound confidence in the idea of popularizing and promoting the martial lineage of Great Xia.

It was clear that no matter how far things had declined, ancient martial arts still held an almost sacred place in the hearts of the people of Great Xia, even after 5,500 years of civilization. The hearts of the people could still be rallied.

"Master."

"Greetings, Master."

The two male disciples bowed respectfully.

"Master, you were incredible!" Su Qianni’s pure and elegant face was filled with admiration. "You were amazing last night, Master. I almost couldn’t hold on anymore."

Li Xiaofei was speechless.

Why does my female disciple speak so strangely?*

It almost felt deliberate. Sure enough, the next moment, the chat was flooded with comments from viewers whose imaginations had run wild.

“Master, something big happened last night.” The eldest disciple, Guo Zong'ao, also known as Three Fists Shaking the Heavens, quickly recounted everything that had happened the previous day.

“Oh.” Li Xiaofei reacted calmly, “Since it’s all sorted, let’s begin the lesson.”

Truly worthy of being called Master. He’s unfazed by any storm.

The disciples’ admiration only grew stronger.

Li Xiaofei proceeded with the regular stream schedule. As usual, he selected two hundred lucky viewers from those who applied to join the live call and conducted spot checks on their cultivation progress with the Great Strength Vajra Fist technique.

After a round of explanation, all the fans in the live stream found that their cultivation challenges with the Threefold Divine Strength move had been resolved.

“This is incredible! My strength has skyrocketed, and there are no side effects!”

“This technique is a lifesaver. If I run into high-level star beasts in the wilderness, I can fight back using Threefold Divine Strength.”

“I never thought our Great Xia martial arts could be this miraculous.”

“Yeah, I’ve been practicing Great Strength Vajra Fist for the past few days, and my strength has improved so much that I canceled a New Martial Arts surgery scheduled for three days from now.”

“What a coincidence, I did the same.”

“The reason Great Xia’s ancient martial arts declined was because those selfish aristocratic families hoarded the true legacies and kept them hidden from the public. Disgraceful!”

“Thank goodness for the Grandmaster of Heaven.”

The fans were fired up with excitement.

In just three short days, everyone practicing the Great Strength Vajra Fist had experienced significant progress. This progress was something they could feel in their bodies, and it could also be measured by various instruments. More and more people were realizing that Grandmaster of Heaven wasn’t just all talk. His lessons were genuinely effective. As a result, more viewers flocked to his stream.

After just one hour, the number of people in Li Xiaofei’s live stream exceeded the 700,000 mark. This number had Zhang Zhihong and the three disciples bursting with excitement, as if they’d been injected with adrenaline. It was unbelievable!

After instructing the two hundred lucky participants, Li Xiaofei moved on to explaining the fourth move, Vajra Wrathful Mountain Split.

As he explained, he used Zhang Zhihong as a live demonstration, treating him as a human punching bag.

"Ahhh..."

"Yes, that's exactly the feeling."

"Brothers, I'm going to die."

"I'm back again."

Zhang Zhihong had gotten used to it and could even crack jokes in the middle of taking hits, delivering a one-man comedy routine as he endured the blows.

Once the demonstration was complete, Li Xiaofei moved on to the third stage of the live stream. He checked the martial arts cultivation progress of Zhou Yidao and Su Qianni, offering corrections and guidance where needed.

Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. But just then, a VIP paid duel request popped up on the screen.

Li Xiaofei was about to decline it; however, when he saw the applicant’s name, something stirred in his mind.

He turned and asked, "Was the streamer who bombed your streams yesterday named Invincible Below the Dao?"

Su Qianni immediately responded, "Yes, it was him."

Li Xiaofei nodded and accepted the duel request.

With a flash of light, Brother Dao and his group of over ten people appeared in the ancient martial arts arena, surrounded by shimmering teleportation halos.

Li Xiaofei’s gaze fell on Brother Dao, the leader of the group.

Invincible Below the Dao?

In all his time participating in the online Martial God tournaments in the light-network, Li Xiaofei had never encountered anyone daring enough to claim they were invincible below the Dao. Could it be that he was finally about to face a true master today?

The thought stirred excitement within Li Xiaofei. His gaze toward Brother Dao became fiery with anticipation. However, this reaction left Brother Dao utterly baffled.

What is going on?

He had come in with the intent to cause trouble, fully expecting to intimidate people with his fierce presence. But now, why did it feel like he was Little Red Riding Hood, and Li Xiaofei was the Big Bad Wolf?
