Starforce Warriors

Chapter 84: Trickster

"Admit defeat and say three times that you\'re weak, and I\'ll give you a quick end," Zheng Shou sneered, intending to humiliate Fang Buyi further.

"Fine, I\'ll say it," Fang Buyi gritted his teeth. "You are weak, you are weak, you are weak..."

Then, he immediately plunged his rapier into his own heart. He chose to die by his own hand rather than endure further humiliation. His body dissolved into a stream of data, vanishing from the arena.

Zheng Shou didn\'t have time to stop him and spat angrily, "Bastard."

In the next moment, a deafening cheer erupted in the arena. The Longteng High School students and the spectators who came to watch the match went wild, cheering loudly.

Unlike the modest home environment of Red Flag High School, Longteng High School\'s matches attracted a large number of paying spectators from outside the school. Teams ranked high in the league had a well-developed commercial appeal. Various commentators were also fervently praising Zheng Shou, the Beast as the atmosphere in the venue reached a fever pitch.

As the designated commentator for Red Flag High School, Shen Yan said helplessly in the livestream, "Fang Buyi adopted the most suitable strategy, chose the most effective weapon, and showed the greatest courage... Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great. He lost, but Zheng Shou humiliating his opponent like that was truly disgraceful."

In the livestream, many viewers who saw Fang Buyi being trampled began to curse as well. Most people still despised such bullying behavior. However, a flood of new viewers quickly joined, hurling insults at Shen Yan.

If you lose and you deserve to be stepped on.

Red Flag High School chickened out at the opening ceremony, lost their spot, and let Jiepeng strut around. Don\'t they deserve to be stepped on?

These trash from Red Flag High School should feel honored to be trampled by Senior Zheng Shou.

What kind of trash commentator is this? Does he even know how to commentate?

Brothers, let\'s team up and report him.

Judging by their comments, it was clear who these new viewers were. At first, Shen Yan tried to respond patiently. But he soon realized that this group wouldn\'t listen no matter how he defended himself or explained. They weren\'t interested in debating; they were only interested in spewing insults and curses.

Damn...

Shen Yan was furious and started cursing directly in the livestream.

"Do you even know what martial spirit is? The country invests heavily in education resources to cultivate martial artists with a sense of chivalry and the spirit to defend the nation, not a bunch of bullies who humiliate others just because they\'re stronger."

"Who is this Zheng Shou you all are praising? Do you expect this kind of person to protect you against the fangs and claws of star beasts? Stop living off dog food and do something worthwhile. I\'m putting it out here today, if this kind of atmosphere continues, Longteng High School will definitely fall!"

Filled with pent-up anger, Little White Dragon in the Waves Shen Yan transformed into Little Raging Dragon. He started an unrestrained rant, engaging in a fierce verbal battle with the trolls in the live stream. This could be considered a broadcast accident. But somehow, someone took screenshots of the live stream and posted them on the leaderboard forum.

Shocking! Official Host Rages at Viewers.

This Host Really Knows How to Curse.

Betting His Streaming Career on a Rant.

He Curses, I Support.

Various posts flooded the ranking points forum, spreading like a virus to other major forums and video sites. As a result, Shen Yan\'s livestream started gaining a massive influx of viewers. He was still cursing when his assistant softly tugged at him.

"Don\'t pull me! Even if I lose this hosting job today, I’m gonna... huh?"

Shen Yan was stunned as he followed his assistant’s finger to the viewership number. His livestream actually had fifty-six thousand people. He instinctively rubbed his eyes. There was no mistake, it was really fifty-six thousand. Shen Yan suddenly felt a bit parched.

Clearing his throat, he said, "What I was saying earlier was actually to convey an important message. Cursing is wrong, cursing is very bad... Many new viewers might not know me. I\'m usually a very kind person and never use foul language—"

Before he could finish his sentence.

666...

If I hadn\'t heard you cursing Longteng High School for five minutes straight, I might have believed you.

Gentleman Li Xiaofei, never curses, Little White Dragon.

This host is such a trickster.

The live chat was flooded with comments. Many new viewers found this host extremely entertaining.

This is interesting.

Worth watching.

And what\'s up with the big-chested assistant in white stockings who looks like she can barely stand?

Adorable, but not saying a word.

She occasionally cast a resentful glance at Shen Yan.

She looked like she was malnourished or something.

This combination was odd yet entertaining, like an addictive poison, and it was very captivating.

As the number of viewers continued to increase, Shen Yan could hardly believe that his outburst had attracted even more viewers.

At that moment, the second match of solo mode was about to begin. Red Flag High School\'s beastmaster Liu Xiao was set to face Longteng High School\'s beastmaster Guan Guan. Both participants received their special keys from the match officials and entered their respective light core mainframes.

In the next instant, the light core system randomly selected the map, Miaojiang Hidden Valley. That was a high-difficulty map for the beastmaster solo mode. There were over a hundred different types of star beasts in the valley, including some formidable Grade Two star beasts.

The two contestants were placed at the southern and northern ends of the valley, three kilometers apart. Since they had chosen combat mode, they needed to find and successfully tame star beasts as quickly as possible. They then had to control these star beasts to traverse the valley, avoiding the territories of the Grade Two star beasts, and advance toward the center of the valley.

The ultimate goal was to defeat the opponent. Since he had lost to Qingye High School\'s beastmaster He Ye in the first round, Liu Xiao was determined to do his utmost to win back honor for Red Flag High School and prove himself. He advanced swiftly through the valley, exerting great effort to tame an adult Green Monkey.

"Got it," said Liu Xiao, overjoyed.

An adult Green Monkey was a top Grade One star beast with decent combat strength. He brought the star beast Green Monkey to the center of the valley. But when he saw what awaited him, his heart sank.

Longteng High School\'s beastmaster Guan Guan was lazily lying on a stone platform covered with soft reeds. Six Green Monkeys surrounded Guan Guan like servants.

"Ah, you\'re here." Guan Guan stretched lazily. "Too slow, I got bored and took a nap."

Liu Xiao\'s face turned pale. Gritting his teeth, he commanded his tamed beast to charge forward. In just a few breaths, the poor Green Monkey was torn apart by its own kind. Liu Xiao was also shredded. The immense gap between them left him no chance to resist.

"How boring," yawned Guan Guan.

Standing in the lush valley, he looked up, knowing that all the broadcasting cameras were focused on him.

Guan Guan smiled faintly and said, "Fighting such trash is really a waste of my nap time."

With that, the match ended. In Longteng Stadium, the crowd erupted in cheers like a volcanic explosion.

"So strong."

"No wonder they\'re ranked ninth in the league last season."

"Classmate Guan Guan is also a star student from last season, ranked seventeenth among the Top Twenty High School Beastmasters by the media. His individual stats are impressive, and Red Flag High School\'s Liu Xiao was no match for him, collapsing at the first touch."

"Although many media outlets had high hopes for Red Flag High School before the match, expecting them to continue their dark horse run, it appears now that they are nothing but pretenders."

In the media section, various commentators continuously analyzed the match.

Shen Yan also let out a helpless sigh in his livestream. The ideal was grand but reality was harsh.

He tried to salvage the stream, saying, "I can only say, never judge Red Flag High School before Li Xiaofei steps into the arena."

All hopes were now pinned on Li Xiaofei.
