Starforce Warriors-Chapter 372: Bursting Popularity

Li Xiaofei was visibly impatient as he was summoned to the VIP conference room at Longya Group Tower again.

"Get to the point." He said. "I’m busy."

Liao Qixing was now aware of Li Xiaofei’s temper and wasn’t offended. He smiled as he quickly explained the internal team decision and presented a Class C contract, eagerly expecting some excitement from Li Xiaofei. However...

"Oh." Li Xiaofei glanced through the contract, expressionless, signed it, and said, "If that’s all, I’m leaving."

Liao Qixing was speechless. That was definitely not the reaction he had expected.

Shouldn't there be at least some joy?

He hurriedly pulled out an electronic document and displayed it. "Also, based on the assessment from our professionals, we’ve come up with some suggestions for your streaming career. For instance, changing your stream room name and streamer name could benefit your future growth. Right now, your name Your Grandpa is a bit... awkward."

His phrasing was quite tactful. In truth, it wasn’t just awkward. It was downright unpresentable.

Li Xiaofei was completely unfazed. "You’re the professionals. I’ll listen to you."

After some discussion, his streamer name was changed from Your Grandpa to Grandmaster of Heaven, symbolizing lofty ambition and boundless potential.

With that, Li Xiaofei hurriedly left the meeting and went straight into his stream room to begin his livestream. But he was taken aback as soon as he glanced up. The number of viewers in his livestream room had reached 35,340. It was even higher than the peak viewership from his previous stream.

What is going on?

"Boss, you’re finally here!" Zhang Zhihong, who had been waiting in the livestream room, immediately piped up, "The fans have been getting restless. If you hadn’t come, they might have called the police!"

As his streaming assistant, Zhang Zhihong was displaying exceptional dedication. He had been maintaining order in the livestream room the entire time, keeping the audience engaged, and warming up the atmosphere.

The practical effectiveness of the Vajra Thunderous Strike Li Xiaofei taught during the previous stream had been astonishing. Even martial artists who watched the replay had experienced significant improvements in their cultivation. As a result, the number of people attracted to the stream had been steadily growing. Many fans had already been waiting in the room, eager for him to start.

Li Xiaofei nodded. He opened the system interface. There were already countless fans applying to connect with him.

In the virtual world, the livestream room was divided into three tiers.

First, there were the guests: viewers without fan badges. When they entered the stream, it was like watching a high-quality 4D movie from a distance, offering better clarity than ordinary viewers on the light-network.

Second, there were the subscribed fans. They could be closer to the virtual dojo, experiencing clearer visuals and better immersion. They also had various basic privileges when it came to interacting with the streamer.

Lastly, there were the fans who successfully connected to the stream. They could appear in the virtual dojo as avatars, just like in the real world, and engage in direct interactions with the streamer.

At this moment, nearly 40,000 fans in the livestream room were equipped with subscription badges. Many of them had been waiting in the room, just like early attendees at a nightclub event, hoping to be among the first to connect with Li Xiaofei.

During the previous stream, viewers like Liu Yang and two others had successfully connected with Li Xiaofei and received his personal guidance. Their martial techniques improved so rapidly and their combat strength increased so significantly that it left many fans envious and eager for the same opportunity.

Li Xiaofei glanced at the long list of connection requests that seemingly had no end and randomly selected two hundred fans from the list.

A beam of white light flashed across the sky as two hundred figures appeared in the ancient martial arts dojo of the livestream room.

When so many people arrived at once, the previously spacious dojo was suddenly crowded. Zhang Zhihong skillfully managed the situation, organizing positions and maintaining order. He made sure the fans who hadn’t successfully connected still had excellent viewing angles for the stream.

"Master," Guo Zong'ao, also known as Three Fists Shaking the Heavens, was the first to bow respectfully.

Li Xiaofei nodded. He didn’t waste time as he officially began the livestream.

"The training methods and secrets of the first move of the Great Strength Vajra Fist, the Vajra Thunderous Strike, were covered in detail in the last stream. Does anyone have any further questions?" He addressed the two hundred people before him.

As expected, several fans quickly raised their hands with questions. These fans were martial arts enthusiasts who had varying levels of skill and comprehension. The issues they encountered while practicing the Vajra Thunderous Strike were common challenges others might face.

Li Xiaofei patiently spent the next hour answering each question in great detail. By the end, he had thoroughly addressed all the potential challenges people might encounter while cultivating the Vajra Thunderous Strike.

Even those who hadn’t connected were able to understand their own issues and find solutions just by watching this part of the stream.

Impressive, straight to the point.

I get it now, so that’s how it works...

Haha, I found the problem! The streamer explains it even better than my own master.

This streamer is the real deal. If you have a problem, he actually helps you solve it.

The comments in the livestream room exploded. It was overwhelming as the number of messages flooding the screen literally blocked out the virtual sky. Li Xiaofei frowned and promptly disabled the chat feature for everyone as they were interrupting his lecture.

The reason he was streaming was to use the platform to spread the martial cultivation model of Red Flag High School. At the same time, seeing the dedication of Chen Fei and Qin Dewei over the past few decades made Li Xiaofei realize that cultivating in isolation wasn’t enough if he wanted to revive Great Xia’s ancient martial arts and promote its lineage.

One person’s strength was always limited. Moreover, many of the martial techniques he had drawn from the Moonlight Treasure Box weren’t suited to him. Holding on to them was a waste. It was better to share them with Great Xia’s martial artists for them to cultivate.

In this era, many valuable techniques were held by powerful families. The Saint families in particular hoarded high-level martial arts techniques and refused to share them with the public. They used these techniques to manipulate the country and monopolize resources, while doing little for the greater good. They were like someone sitting on a toilet, refusing to use it, and then not allowing anyone else to use it either.

It was truly infuriating. It was even more irritating than the old martial traditions that passed down techniques only to men and not to women, or only within the family.

The government had made many efforts to counter this, such as building numerous schools to train martial talent. However, since powerful families were firmly entrenched in cities and base areas, many of these schools had become little more than private assets for these families.

Take Liuhe Base City, for example. At one time, the Ye family had ruled unchallenged. Together with the other four major families, they turned most of the city’s schools into their personal training grounds. As a result, all the talent produced by these schools ended up serving the five families, leaving the local military and government under their control.

This was precisely why so many people flocked to his livestream after Li Xiaofei publicly shared the cultivation secrets of the Vajra Thunderous Strike. They finally had the chance to learn something real.

Li Xiaofei had secretly wondered about the dog that had given him the Moonlight Treasure Box and allowed him to draw so many martial arts techniques. Perhaps it wasn’t solely for the purpose of helping him cultivate and enhance his strength. It was likely also meant to help promote and revive Great Xia’s ancient martial lineage. He couldn’t be selfish and hoard these techniques. He had to pass them on.

There were countless talented individuals in the vast land of Great Xia. Many hidden heroes and geniuses were living ordinary lives and were just waiting for an opportunity. They just lacked proper techniques. Once they obtained martial skills, they could compete for resources and grow stronger. It was only when the whole nation became stronger that Great Xia could have hope. It was only then that ancient martial arts could rise again.

However, by publicly sharing the true legacy techniques of martial arts, Li Xiaofei was essentially undermining the foundations that powerful families stood on. While these techniques were not their exclusive secrets, if everyone had access to true legacy skills, how could these families maintain their competitive edge and continue exploiting the country and its people?

For now, Li Xiaofei's influence was still small. He had only shared one true legacy technique, the Great Strength Vajra Fist, so the powerful families had yet to take notice.

But even so, the explosive popularity of his second livestream had already made many people feel threatened. Just an hour into the stream, a martial arts streamer challenged him to a fight.

"If you don’t dare accept, then admit you’re a fraud, and get off Longya Live Stream. Don’t disgrace Great Xia’s ancient martial lineage."

The challenger’s name was Zhou Yidao. He was well-known in the martial arts section of Longya Live Streaming. He was infamous for crushing newcomers, leeching off their popularity, and stepping on others to climb the ranks.
