Starforce Warriors - Chapter 95: Up And Down
Chapter 95: Up And Down
The match scene became strange. Both sides adopted a defensive stance, waiting for the other to make a move.
“Li Xiaofei has given Longteng High School so much trauma that they’re even afraid to take the initiative to attack,” Shen Yan exclaimed in the livestream, completely letting loose with his comments. The site’s super moderators turned a blind eye because his style attracted a lot of viewers.
The audience in the stands wore embarrassed expressions. The team they were fanatical about had been so frightened by one person that they had lost the courage to take the initiative. Yet they couldn’t say anything. They had witnessed the brutality of that monster firsthand. Many in the audience secretly felt that the team’s cautious approach was justified.
“This is the deterrent power of a star player.” One commentator remarked with a touch of admiration.
On the battlefield, both sides continued to face off. Neither Longteng High School nor Red Flag High School showed any intention of launching an attack. Gradually, both teams realized the situation.
“Is Longteng actually taking a defensive stance?” Bai Longfei said in utter shock, “Do we actually have that kind of deterrence?”
Only weaker teams would choose to defend against stronger opponents.
Li Xiaofei corrected, “To be precise, it’s my deterrence. You all still need to work harder.”
Bai Longfei rolled his eyes. The more Li Xiaofei spoke this way, the lighter the burden felt in their hearts, and their condition improved.
“Little Li, what should we do next?” Fang Buyi asked.
“Let’s wait and see,” Li Xiaofei suggested after a moment’s thought. “We’ll see who can outlast the other.”
Liu Xiao also laughed and said, “Yeah, I doubt a team that ranked ninth last season can be more shameless than us.”
The other four immediately focused their gazes on him.
“Who are you calling shameless?” Ren Dong, the freckled loli, wrinkled her nose.
Liu Xiao instantly backed down and said, “I’m shameless.”
“Hahahaha.”
Everyone laughed.
Chen Fei, Grandpa Qin, and Yan Chiyu relaxed when they saw this in the preparation area. The team members’ mentality had completely returned to normal.
“We can’t just keep stalling,” Fang Buyi said. “If there’s no battle for over an hour, the light core system will shrink the circle and force us into combat.”
“Shrink the circle?” Li Xiaofei was intrigued.
“Yes, from the outer regions of the map, a beast tide will continuously shrink the safe zone, pushing both teams closer together until they have to fight in a smaller area,” Fang Buyi explained. “The shrinking zone is unpredictable. If we’re lucky, the final safe zone might be around our camp, giving us an advantage. If not, it could be disastrous.”
Li Xiaofei rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
We can’t rely on luck to determine the outcome of the match.
He seemed to have made a decision and said, “I’ll go lure them out. You all stay here and prepare for battle.”
He turned and set off immediately.

“Oh? Li Xiaofei finally couldn’t hold back.”
“He’s making a move.”
“He’s charging straight towards Longteng High School’s camp alone.”
“He’s brave. But this time, it won’t be as easy as the last match because Longteng High School is fully prepared.”
“The battle has begun. Li Xiaofei repelled Zheng Shou, but couldn’t achieve a one-hit kill. Zheng Shou’s armor played a crucial role.”
“Impressive, the ancient armor crafted by weapons specialist Jia Yiyu can blunt the attack power of a tenth stage master, reducing it by up to 40 percent… This shows the importance of a weapons specialist in team battles.”
“Xing Yuantao and Zheng Shou have teamed up and are relying on the ancient armor to withstand Li Xiaofei’s first wave of attacks.”
“A pale yellow poisonous mist is spreading across the battlefield… This is the work of medic Feng Yuzhen. She’s using the Absolute Root Heavenly Star Grass to create a colored, odorless poison mist that blends with the dust of the battlefield. Once inhaled, it slows the circulation of starforce qi and paralyzes the body.”
“The Longteng team members all have detoxifying leaves in their mouths. But Li Xiaofei doesn’t. He inhaled the poison mist.”
“Oh oh oh, it looks like he realized it, but it’s too late! Li Xiaofei’s gauntlets have been shattered. He’s injured.”
“My god, Xing Yuantao’s sword almost decapitated Li Xiaofei… What a pity. But Li Xiaofei’s left shoulder was pierced. Such an injury will decrease muscle tension, significantly reducing his punching speed and power.”
“The sword is coated with poison. The more Li Xiaofei moves, the faster the poison spreads as his blood circulation accelerates. Longteng High School sees hope.”
“Li Xiaofei has been struck again… He landed a punch on Zheng Shou, causing him to cough up blood and retreat. He’s still incredibly strong. Li Xiaofei, covered in blood, fights on relentlessly.”
“Yes, he has his pride. The entire Longteng High School team is besieging Li Xiaofei, yet they still can’t take him down immediately.”
“A terrifying monster. Truly awe-inspiring.”
“Zheng Shou, Xing Yuantao, Guan Guan, Feng Yuzhen, and Jia Yiyu are all injured.”
“Yes, the cornered beast that is Li Xiaofei is fighting back ferociously. None of the five dare to face him head-on.”
“Li Xiaofei has been struck again! Guan Guan’s bone dagger stabbed into Li Xiaofei’s back shoulder… He’s lost so much blood, yet he still hasn’t fallen.”
“A miscalculation indeed. Li Xiaofei, this is ultimately a team mode. It’s not always possible to turn the tide alone.”
“He started to run. Is he finally going to escape?”
“Zheng Shou and the others are in hot pursuit. Oh no, Li Xiaofei has been intercepted again… ”
“He turned and fought desperately. Li Xiaofei fell.”
“He got up again. Fell again.”
“Got up again… ”
“Jia Yiyu was ambushed by Li Xiaofei pretending to be dead… Li Xiaofei started to run again.”
“His vitality is truly astonishing. Tension, tension, tension, suspense, suspense, suspense—can Li Xiaofei escape with his life?”
“Longteng’s team is relentlessly pursuing. The two sides have crossed the central dividing river and entered the eastern district.”
“Li Xiaofei is fleeing towards Red Flag High School’s camp. He finally remembered he has teammates. Unfortunately, this move is like inviting wolves into the house, dragging his teammates into the abyss.”
“The only threat to Longteng’s team from Red Flag High School is Li Xiaofei. The others can’t withstand the bloodthirsty Zheng Shou and his team… ”
“Li Xiaofei actually managed to reach their temporary camp alive. Zheng Shou and his team, without hesitation, charged in as well… ”
The commentators’ mouths moved like machine guns as they rapidly described the unfolding situation.
Li Xiaofei’s desperate escape and Zheng Shou’s relentless hunt captivated countless eyes. The spectators all held their breath. Never before had a battle so thoroughly gripped their hearts. At that moment, the battle finally reached its decisive, life-or-death stage.
