Chapter 206:The Ambition Of A Champion
Indeed. Over a hundred Grade One star beasts were standing before the Red Flag High School team. They advanced like a well-trained army with an overwhelming presence. In the distance, Zhou Yunong stood on the shoulder of a twenty-meter-tall Grade Two star beast, the Gray Fur Explosion Ape. He looked imposing, with a cold and detached gaze. He gazed down at Li Xiaofei and the others like a king surveying his subjects from above.
Meanwhile, Zhou Mi, Zhou Heng, Dong Bao, and Lao Shen stood closely around Zhou Yunong, forming a tight defensive formation.
Four Protect One! This was Lanshan High School’s ace strategy that allowed them to dominate the high school league. There was nothing particularly special about this tactic. But not every team could replicate it. The ‘one’ in this Four Protect One strategy had to be exceptionally powerful.
As the league\'s top beastmaster, Zhou Yunong was clearly up to the task. As long as he remained alive, a relentless wave of star beasts would continue attacking the opponents.
The only way they would lose was if the opposing team could wipe out every star beast in the entire map. But was that even possible? No, it was not. In all their past battles, no matter what kind of formidable enemy they faced, Lanshan High School always emerged victorious in team mode thanks to this foolproof strategy.
In the current match, the system had matched them with the team battle map Sky City, a classic team battle scenario.
Sky City spanned over 300 square kilometers, and had over ten thousand star beasts. But to Zhou Yunong, these fearsome star beasts were an endless, inexhaustible resource. At that moment, Zhou Yunong\'s heart was filled with an unshakable belief in his invincibility. He was the king of the battlefield.
"Red Flag High School attempted a RUSH tactic, but it\'s too late."
"They can no longer stop Zhou Yunong..."
"Incredible, Zhou Yunong has managed to control over a hundred star beasts in such a short time. Truly deserving of his title as the number one beastmaster in the high school league."
"Five hundred Grade One star beasts, equivalent to nearly a hundred Qi Refining Realm experts—Red Flag High School\'s five members have no chance."
"This is the power of the beastmaster king in the Liuhe Base City high school league."
"In specific environments, the power a beastmaster can wield far surpasses that of any main combatant."
"Indeed, in many ways, beastmasters are humanity\'s hope in the fight against star beasts."
Commentators and streamers who favored Lanshan High School were fervently building up hype. The crowd in the stadium responded with wild cheers and shouts as they fervently supported their team.
On the battlefield, Bai Longfei, Ren Dong, and Bai Qiqi looked pale. This wasn’t about lacking courage. Anyone surrounded by such a massive number of star beasts would feel despair.
"Captain, Li Xiaofei, what do we do?" Bai Longfei asked, looking at Yan Chiyu and Li Xiaofei.
Ren Dong and Bai Qiqi also turned their hopeful eyes toward the two.
Yan Chiyu suggested, "We break through the encirclement, then figure out a way to assassinate Zhou Yunong."
After speaking, she glanced at Li Xiaofei instinctively, "What do you think?"
For some reason, Li Xiaofei sensed that the hostility the Soul of Red Flag had once harbored toward him had gradually faded over the past few weeks.
Li Xiaofei thought for a moment and then said, "My suggestion is... we charge straight through them."
"Hmm?"
All four were puzzled.
Li Xiaofei continued, "The league is a third of the way done. But I want to ask everyone. What do you want our final result to be? What’s our goal for this season?"
The question caught all four off guard.
The goal for this season?
Even the principal had never brought it up. Everyone felt the drive that they had been suppressing forever. They itched with the desire to push forward. But they had never said how far they wanted to go, or what rank they wanted to achieve. Maybe they had a dream in their hearts, but it felt too far to be spoken aloud.
Li Xiaofei filled the silence. "I want to win the championship."
The other four were stunned again. Championship! The word seemed to carry a certain magic, causing their eyes to light up.
Bai Longfei suddenly snapped out of it and said, "Wait, Li Xiaofei, we’re still in the middle of a match. If you say that out loud... doesn’t that mean... everyone heard it?"
Li Xiaofei burst into laughter. "Winning the championship isn’t something to be ashamed of."
He grinned at them all. "This is our final year in high school and our last chance. Don’t we want to leave Red Flag High School with its most glorious moment? To win the championship? I want to win the championship!"
He shouted his last line loudly, causing his voice to echo far and wide.
Whoa! This is getting serious.
Bai Longfei nearly rushed over to cover Li Xiaofei’s mouth. Even if they wanted to win the championship, shouting it out loud in front of so many people wasn’t the smartest move. If they ended up empty-handed, wouldn’t they just become a laughingstock?
Declaring it so boldly would also make them a target and draw the ire of the five prestigious schools. It could possibly even invite underhanded tactics.
"If we want to win the championship, we need to transform." Li Xiaofei looked at Bai Longfei, Bai Qiqi, and Ren Dong, and said, "Transformation starts with this battle. Are you up for it?"
"What’s there to be afraid of?" Ren Dong licked her lips as she replied, "As the successor of the self-sacrifice technique, I fear nothing."
Bai Qiqi doubled down with a stammering but determined, "D-d-dare... dare... dare..."
Bai Longfei gritted his teeth as he said, "As a high-caliber person, my courage has always matched my looks... Let’s do this!"
He brandished his two swords and was the first to charge. Bai Qiqi and Ren Dong followed hot on his heels. Their target was Zhou Yunong in the distance. Their mission was to break through the star beast horde. Their goal was to take down Zhou Yunong.
The three of them charged into the beast horde like madmen, as if brainwashed into reckless abandon.
Li Xiaofei glanced at Yan Chiyu. She responded by drawing a slender, flexible sword from her waist. She didn’t say a word as she also launched herself into the charge.
Li Xiaofei stood still for a moment, a smile forming on his face. He realized that in this instant, the last trace of doubt within the team had completely vanished. Yan Chiyu, just like the other three, had chosen to trust him.
Since they were all united, he resolved to give them the ultimate gift in this final year—a championship trophy.
Li Xiaofei unleashed his starforce qi. Countless golden dragon shadows materialized and started to swirl around him. The sky filled with a dragon’s roar as Li Xiaofei made his move.
The Six Meridian Divine Sword technique thundered into existence as sword qi slashed through the battlefield with an unparalleled ferocity.
