Starforce Warriors

Chapter 83: One Move

"We received feedback from the on-site staff that Red Flag High School had some technical difficulties, which delayed their warm-up. Now, they have finally arrived! Leading the way is Li Xiaofei, the main player for Red Flag High School. The MVP of the first round of the league seems to be very angry."

"No wonder, Longteng Stadium is known as the devil\'s home ground for a reason. The crowd is extremely hostile to the visiting team. Viewers in the live stream might not hear it, but I can clearly hear the curses and see people throwing objects from the stands!"

Little White Dragon in the Waves described the scene objectively.

He, too, felt a pang of frustration. As the regular broadcaster for Red Flag High School, he had also been treated unfairly over the past few hours. There was no water or hospitality meals. Even the broadcasting position was at the farthest corner. It was far less comfortable than the last match at Red Flag High School\'s rundown stadium.

However, due to Red Flag High School\'s outstanding performance in the last game and since Longteng High School was an established strong team, the excitement for this match was high. Many media outlets were on-site to cover the match, so there were twenty to thirty commentators and broadcasters present. Most were bigger names than Shen Yan.

Placed in the most isolated broadcasting position, Shen Yan wished he could use the head of Longteng High School\'s principal as a chamber pot. Naturally, he wouldn\'t say anything favorable about Longteng High School.

In the arena, the staff had already set up the light core mainframes. The teams from both schools were fifty meters apart, making their final preparations in their respective zones. Just like the first round of the league, the solo matches would take place first.

"Today\'s first match is crucial," Chen Fei said, his gaze sweeping over the two main players of the school team. "We need to do our utmost to win this match, so..."

Li Xiaofei stepped forward and volunteered, "Principal, let me take the first match."

However, Chen Fei\'s eyes ultimately settled on Fang Buyi.

"Fang Buyi will take this match," he decided.

Li Xiaofei was left speechless.

Damn. Does Chen Fei have a passive skill that makes him ignore whoever volunteers first?

In the first round, Fang Buyi had volunteered, only to be replaced by this stubborn principal with Li Xiaofei. Now, when Li Xiaofei volunteered, the principal chose Fang Buyi instead.

"Go for it, Old Fang."

"Good luck."

"Senior Fang, give it your all."

The members of the school team all cheered for Fang Buyi.

As the second main player of Red Flag High School, Fang Buyi had always been seen as a reliable older brother. He was cheerful, generous, and always willing to help. No matter who needed his assistance, he never turned them down. He often acted like a protective mother hen, shielding every member of the school team under his wings.

He wasn’t particularly strong, but he had diligently fought in the High School War God League for two years with the cultivation of the eighth stage without much acclaim. But no matter what difficulties he faced, he never complained or backed down. So Fang Buyi was beloved by every student at Red Flag High School. The teachers also valued him highly.

"Go for it," Li Xiaofei said, giving Fang Buyi a light high-five.

On the stands behind the preparation area, dozens of Red Flag High School students who had come along with the team shouted themselves hoarse, loudly cheering for Fang Buyi.

Yan Chiyu walked up to Fang Buyi. She gently straightened his school uniform and said, "Good luck."

Fang Buyi smiled. He turned and strode towards the light core mainframe. At the same time, Longteng High School\'s first-round player was revealed.

"The match-up for the first round of solo mode has been announced. The home team is sending out their star student, Zheng Shou. It seems they are determined to win this first match."

"Zheng Shou, nicknamed Beast, is eighteen years old, stands at 2.1 meters tall, weighs 140 kilograms, and has a cultivation level of the tenth stage. He has undergone the new martial arts surgery, with six First Grade peak star beast Gray-Haired Bear Ape’s Inscribed Treasure Bones implanted in his body, making him renowned for his immense strength."

"This guy is an unstoppable beast."

"Indeed, in last season\'s league, he won 18 MVPs in victories and 12 MVPs in defeats..."

"Red Flag High School\'s first-round player is Fang Buyi."

"Fang Buyi, eighteen years old, stands at 1.83 meters tall, weighs 84 kilograms, and has a cultivation level of the eighth stage. Last season, he participated in 61 matches, winning 8. His solo mode win rate in his career is less than 14%."

"The data comparison between the two is not even in the same league."

"Fang Buyi is bound to lose."

In the Media Section, almost all the commentators favored Zheng Shou.

Even Shen Yan, who was typically unyielding, admitted, "This is an asymmetrical match, with a huge disparity in strength between the two players. We hope Fang Buyi can showcase his skills, display his level, and maintain his dignity..."

The match officially began. The system randomly selected the map, the Ancient Roman Colosseum. A giant arena made of white stone appeared on the big screen. It was a scene repaired and enlarged by the light core system.

The teleportation lights flashed. Fang Buyi and Zheng Shou simultaneously appeared in the arena. Fang Buyi chose the most durable leather armor, and his weapon was a slender sword suitable for thrusting. Zheng Shou, on the other hand, didn\'t choose any of the system\'s armor. He was bare-chested, showcasing his massive muscles.

"One move," Zheng Shou taunted, beckoning Fang Buyi with his hand.

Fang Buyi\'s face remained calm, not losing his composure from his opponent\'s contemptuous provocation. He knew he was at a significant disadvantage. Therefore, he needed to be patient, stay calm, and try to find a fleeting opportunity, no matter how slim the chances were.

"The match has begun."

"The Ancient Roman Colosseum map is highly disadvantageous for Fang Buyi. He\'s like a fish in a barrel, with no chance to dodge or create distance... It seems even the system\'s random algorithm is favoring Longteng High School. After all, this is Longteng High School\'s home ground."

"Fang Buyi chose a rapier, capable of instant bursts and piercing through defenses. It\'s a smart choice... He\'s moving. Fang Buyi\'s footwork is clever, and his speed is impressive. He isn\'t rushing to attack but circling around Zheng Shou, looking for an opening."

"Zheng Shou remains motionless. The star student of Longteng High School doesn\'t even bother to take a stance, leaving himself open. But Fang Buyi dares not attack easily. He knows he has only one chance."

"The audience is booing. Fang Buyi remains unmoved... Wait, Zheng Shou is moving. He\'s attacking..."

"One move, true to his nickname. He has caught Fang Buyi with just a light punch... The disparity between them is too great. Fang Buyi is severely injured, pinned under Zheng Shou\'s foot..."

The commentators and media were in an uproar.

In the arena, Fang Buyi was on the ground, heavily injured and coughing up blood.

Zheng Shou pressed his foot on Fang Buyi\'s chest, looking down at him. "You\'re so weak. Why do you even bother to come out and embarrass yourself?"
