Starforce Warriors

Chapter 205: The Power Of Yan Chiyu

Once again, it was the moment everyone had been eagerly waiting for. A duel to be decided by a single strike! Both sides were sure to unleash their ultimate techniques.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, not wanting to miss a single frame of what was about to happen. Even Li Xiaofei was intently watching.

Yan Chiyu, known as the first genius of Red Flag High School, had once been sought after by countless high schools. More than one person had praised her unparalleled talent. Li Xiaofei was very curious what level Yan Chiyu had truly reached.

On the battlefield, Zhou Mi gripped his massive sword with both hands and kicked it up with his foot. When the sword was in the air, he used the momentum of its descent and exerted force from his waist.

The sword’s momentum fueled his strength, and his strength amplified the sword’s motion. The heaviest sword in the high school league spun like the wind. Both Zhou Mi and his sword transformed into a whirlwind. Simultaneously, the blade of Zhou Mi's sword ignited. Flames engulfed the air around him. In an instant, a massive, burning sword-blade storm took shape around Zhou Mi.

Everyone felt a suffocating pressure. The fully controlled sword momentum, combined with the completion of his forbidden technique, created a terrifying sensation. It felt like it could tear the sky apart and devour everything.

On the opposite side, Yan Chiyu's cracked sword trembled slightly in her hand. Then, she took a step forward. Her movement was graceful. One step, two steps, three steps...

She accelerated toward the fiery sword-blade storm like a moth drawn to a flame until she transformed into a streak of crimson light, cutting through the air toward Zhou Mi.

Whoosh!

The crimson light sliced through the air as Yan Chiyu's figure appeared behind the fiery sword-blade storm. She landed gracefully.

She tossed the cracked sword in her hand to the side with a casual flick. It embedded itself three feet deep into the ground. Her school uniform fluttered sharply in the wind. Her short hair was neatly styled. She was not a sword immortal, but a living, breathing person of the modern world. Yet there was an indescribable elegance to her.

Without looking back, she walked deeper into Blazing Chang'an Street. A teleportation beam descended, transporting her away. She had done what needed to be done, leaving without a trace, her deeds hidden along with her name.

"What just happened?"

"Wait... why did the teleportation beam activate?"

"Is the battle over?"

The over 100,000 spectators in the stands exchanged confused glances. Then, in the broadcast feed, the scene shifted. The massive, fiery sword-blade storm, which had seemed capable of devouring the heavens, began to slow down. The intense flames gradually dimmed, and the fierce sword energy weakened and then scattered...

Zhou Mi’s figure became visible. He was gripping his massive sword with both hands, but he was staggering.

Clang!

The giant sword plunged into the ground. He leaned against the sword, his body slowly stiffening. It was only then that the crowd noticed a thin trickle of crimson blood seeping from his chest, right where his heart was. He was defeated!

The outcome was decided. Yan Chiyu from Red Flag High School had won the fifth match.

"She won!"

"Yan Chiyu, in her second battle after returning, defeated Zhou Mi with a single strike."

"How did she do it?"

"Zhou Mi's Flaming Sword Storm is a lethal Limit Breaking Realm technique! Once the sword has enough momentum, it's an all-encompassing offensive and defensive technique. How could she possibly harm him without overpowering the fiery sword momentum?"

"What exactly did Yan Chiyu do?"

Many commentators repeatedly replayed the footage in slow motion, but they still couldn’t uncover the truth.

In the Little White Dragon in the Waves livestream...

Shen Yan was breathless. "It’s said that Yan Chiyu is called a genius not just because of her exceptional talent in swordsmanship but also due to another incredible ability, Flaw Detection. She only needs a few moments to detect the flaws in her opponent’s techniques. She then delivers a fatal blow precisely targeting those flaws. If I’m not mistaken, there must have been a flaw in Zhou Mi’s Flaming Sword Storm secret technique that Yan Chiyu detected, allowing her to end the battle with a single strike."

He continued, "How terrifying. Li Xiaofei dominated with a beautiful level of violence, but Yan Chiyu wins with finesse. Her battles are filled with suspense from start to finish. In this match, Yan Chiyu's performance was unexpectedly brilliant."

"And all of this can be credited to Li Xiaofei. Once again, the catfish effect—Li Xiaofei's overwhelming strength has sparked Yan Chiyu’s fighting spirit..."

As expected, Shen Yan concluded with another round of praise for Li Xiaofei.

The black-stockinged assistant stood tall and pumped her fist. "Exactly, that’s right."

In the livestream, the viewers, known for their quick wit and playful banter, were simultaneously criticizing and enjoying Shen Yan’s unabashed flattery.

As the stronghold for the Fist King fans, this place was filled with Li Xiaofei supporters. To them, praising Li Xiaofei was like praising themselves. They were more than happy to bask in it.

Li Xiaofei, watching the ultra-slow-motion replay of the battle on the big screen, was also deeply surprised. Yan Chiyu’s strength was deeply shrouded in mystery. He could confirm that she had not displayed the strength of the Limit Breaking Realm. Yet she had defeated Zhou Mi, who had broken through four barriers, with a single strike.

Could it be that she has also unlocked a Hidden Realm within the Qi Refining stage?

Yan Chiyu’s strength caught Li Xiaofei off guard. It also piqued his curiosity.

"The glory of Lanshan, never extinguished, we forge the Great Wall of the new era with our blood and courage. For the honor of the Republic, Lanshan students press forward..."

The stadium resounded with the school song of Lanshan High School. The supporters in the stands stood up, singing the school anthem with pride. The solemn and majestic melody echoed through the vast cavernous space of the mountain, creating an atmosphere of determination and enthusiasm. They were rallying behind their team.

Lanshan High School, among the five prestigious noble high schools, had a relatively good reputation among the public. They were known for rarely resorting to underhanded tactics.

In the preparation area, head coach Zhou Yan was using the time to strategize.

"The responsibility lies with me. I didn’t fully assess the opponent’s strength." He admitted to the team.

His most pessimistic prediction before the match was losing one round in solo mode. The biggest uncertainty had been Li Xiaofei. But he hadn't anticipated that Yan Chiyu and Ren Dong would also deliver such powerful performances. Lanshan High School's undefeated record had been shattered.

"Even though they won the individual matches, the victory in team mode will definitely be ours," Zhou Yan said, rallying the team's morale. "Don’t lose heart. Even a powerhouse like Duxing High School has lost in solo mode before. The BO1 format is highly unpredictable, but in team battles, even ten Red Flag High Schools wouldn’t be a match for us."

Zhou Yunong and the others had a renewed fire in their eyes. After all, they were just seventeen or eighteen years old. How could they be willing to give up so easily?

On the other side, in the Red Flag High School preparation area, Chen Fei was also using the time to finalize the strategy against their formidable opponents.

"Lanshan High School’s core is Zhou Yunong, the top beastmaster. His strength is not to be underestimated. We absolutely cannot allow him time to develop. If the system matches us with a map favorable to a beastmaster, we’ll employ a RUSH strategy. The goal is to take him down as quickly as possible."

Both teams were racing against the clock as they fine-tuned their plans. Ten minutes later, the first match of team mode was about to begin. The players from both sides approached the light core mainframe.

"You won’t win another match," Zhou Yunong taunted as he locked eyes with Li Xiaofei. "I’m going to completely destroy you, end your so-called legend, and make you realize that the main fighters are nothing but brainless brutes. In the era of star beasts, only beastmasters are the true rulers of this planet."
