Starforce Warriors-Chapter 380: New Breaking Record

Though the Dog Beating Staff Technique was not a pleasant name to hear, it was the Beggar Sect's ultimate martial art. It was no less formidable than the Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms.

It was said that during the first Sword Discussion on Mount Hua, Hong Qigong did not use the Dog Beating Staff Technique to compete for the title of the best in the world because he had not yet mastered it. His proficiency was insufficient, and he had intentionally held back, which is how Wang Chongyang became the number one in the world.

This staff technique was even more powerful when used in conjunction with the Beggar Sect’s token, the Dog Beating Staff. The Dog Beating Staff could be considered the strongest staff technique in the world of Jin Yong’s martial arts.

Everyone was in awe after Li Xiaofei performed the Dog Beating Staff Technique. The astonishment lingered in their minds for a long time. Even Ding Mingya, the rebellious genius from Beixia University, knelt down immediately.

"Master, please forgive my previous foolishness. I want to learn the Dog Beating Staff Technique," Ding Mingya said, his expression full of determination and sincerity.

Li Xiaofei nodded without putting on any airs and said kindly, "Alright, once you've fully mastered the Wulang Bagua Staff, I will teach you the Dog Beating Staff."

"Thank you, Master," Ding Mingya responded, overjoyed.

For a martial arts fanatic like him, nothing was more thrilling than the chance to learn a skill he had always dreamed of. There was no longer any trace of his former arrogance. The way he looked at Li Xiaofei now was like a loyal admirer gazing at a goddess.

Li Xiaofei deactivated the protective shield from the duel mode and glanced at Brother Dao. The latter's face was filled with humiliation, as if he had been slapped repeatedly with a shoe covered in dog filth.

"Hey, do you have anything left to say?" Zhang Zhihong pressed his advantage relentlessly. "It's best two out of three, and you've lost two rounds. Isn't it time you came over and acknowledged your master?"

Brother Dao gritted his teeth. "I haven't fought yet, I—"

Zhang Zhihong sneered coldly. "What? Are you trying to cheat? Look at how many people are watching the livestream right now."

Brother Dao instinctively raised his head to check.

What the—!

He was completely stunned.

4.5 million viewers online? That can’t be real! How can there be so many people watching?

Even Li Xiaofei was taken aback. The stream's popularity had exceeded 90 million! It was now ranked in the top ten across the entire platform, coming in at eighth place.

It was terrifying how they had made such a massive impact in just three days of streaming. Could this be a record for the Longya Group’s website?

"Are you really going to deny it with so many people watching?" Zhang Zhihong said smugly, "Come on, get over here and obediently call me Master Uncle."

Brother Dao's throat tightened, and after a long moment, he finally said, "I... I'll offer twenty million star coins—no, thirty million. Can we skip the apprenticeship?"

Before Li Xiaofei could respond, Zhang Zhihong immediately and mercilessly rejected him. "That amount of money is barely enough for a beggar. Now kneel down and call him Master."

Brother Dao's face twitched. But with so many eyes on him, he couldn’t really back out and deny the outcome. In the end, he reluctantly walked over, knelt down, and performed the ancient martial arts ceremony of apprenticeship.

"Disciple greets the Master."

The thought of being unable to hold his head high in the martial arts community and becoming a laughingstock for those despicable people made Brother Dao feel as if he had lost everything dear to him.

"Stand up," Li Xiaofei said. "Go greet your senior brothers and sisters."

"I... Yes, Master," Brother Dao replied, his teeth grinding in frustration, but he had no other choice.

Reluctantly, he went over to bow before Guo Zong'ao, Zhou Yidao, Su Qianni, and Ding Mingya.

When they saw the once arrogant and domineering leader of the ancient martial arts category bowing before them, Guo Zong'ao and Zhou Yidao felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. It was as refreshing as eating ice-cold watermelon on a sweltering summer day. It was all thanks to their teacher's brilliance.

Brother Dao returned to Li Xiaofei, resigned to his fate, and asked, "Master, what martial arts do you plan to teach me?"

Li Xiaofei countered with a question, "What do you want to learn?"

Brother Dao replied instantly, "Footwork."

Mastering a good movement technique meant he wouldn’t have to fear even falling into a beast's lair. Survival came first. At the same time, this was meant to stump Li Xiaofei. He refused to believe that after martial techniques, palm techniques, sword techniques, and staff techniques, Li Xiaofei could still produce a movement technique.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

As a direct descendant of the Ding Family in Xiajing, Brother Dao knew all too well how rare it was to find a true legacy movement technique in the ancient martial arts world.

"Footwork, is it?" Li Xiaofei smiled slightly and said, "Watch closely."

As soon as he finished speaking, something incredible happened. Li Xiaofei’s figure began to flicker wildly in place. Each flicker and disappearance was a seamless transformation between reality and illusion. His movements were graceful as a dancer as they constantly shifted between the real and the unreal.

Some viewers who weren’t strong enough felt dizzy after watching for just a few moments and didn’t dare to continue looking. At first, Brother Dao had a slight sneer on his face. But, before he realized it, his smile completely froze.

Just like Ding Mingya earlier when he had seen the Dog Beating Staff Technique, Brother Dao was utterly stunned.

The livestream chat exploded with comments.

What the hell, what kind of footwork is this?

I can’t make sense of it at all. Is this really not a transplanted Inscribed Treasure Bone from the Lightning Beast King?

No way, with footwork like that, even a mech's electromagnetic targeting system wouldn’t be able to lock onto him, right?

The viewers couldn’t believe what they were seeing and shouted in amazement.

"Master, please stop this divine ability!" Brother Dao shouted, kneeling without hesitation and bowing deeply. "I want to learn it. I absolutely must learn it."

As a direct descendant of a prominent family, Brother Dao’s judgment far exceeded that of ordinary people. He was one hundred percent sure that this footwork was no less formidable than the legendary Dog Beating Staff Technique.

Considering how rare movement techniques were, he was certain that this technique’s value surpassed even that of the Dog Beating Staff. Forget about pride—he couldn’t care less about that anymore.

"Haha, I actually prefer the defiant version of you," Zhang Zhihong laughed loudly, deliberately teasing him, "How about you bring that back?"

Brother Dao immediately jumped to his feet, retorting, "Damn, you’re just a little sidekick. Who are you pretending to be, a big shot?"

Li Xiaofei glanced at him, "Hmm?"

Brother Dao’s face twitched, and he forced a smile, turning to Zhang Zhihong, "Master Uncle, is this the kind of attitude you were looking for?"

Zhang Zhihong burst into laughter, "Yes, yes, exactly like that! Keep it up. You really are quite the character!"

Brother Dao didn’t mind the teasing and turned his attention back to Li Xiaofei. "Master, what was the name of that footwork technique you just used?"

Li Xiaofei replied, "Graceful Step of the Waves."

"The name is befitting of an ethereal technique like that," Brother Dao quickly flattered.

Li Xiaofei responded with a faint smile. There were many martial arts techniques that he had drawn from the mysterious dog box, including Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms, One Yang Finger, and Six Meridian Divine Sword. He was prepared to teach all of them.

At a time when humanity's survival was at stake, these martial arts belonged to all of humankind. If he hoarded such treasures for himself, like the so-called Saints and noble families, how would he be any different from them?

Besides, the dog box could supply him with even more advanced techniques. Li Xiaofei wasn’t worried about betrayal or someone surpassing him.

At that moment, the livestream chat was exploding with gift animations. Numerous wealthy fans who had heard the news flooded in, sending all kinds of virtual dragons and supreme gifts like they cost nothing. The sky above the livestream was filled with a constant barrage of extravagant gift effects.

"Brother, you're going to be famous," Zhang Zhihong said excitedly. "After tonight, you’ll break into the top ten of the Longya Group's live streaming platform."

A smile also appeared on Li Xiaofei’s face. The more fans he had, the greater his influence, and the better he could promote ancient martial arts and the Red Flag High School model.

"Friends, welcome to the livestream, and thank you all for your generous gifts," Li Xiaofei began. "As I’ve always said, any true legacy of ancient martial arts that I demonstrate or mention in the livestream will be taught for free. Anyone who wants to learn is welcome."

"I will pass down all these true legacies to my disciples. They will teach them on my behalf in their own livestreams. Soon, I will establish a complete tiered system for these techniques."

"For example, the Great Strength Vajra Fist is suitable for those at or above the third stage of the Qi Refining Realm. The Five Tigers Door-Cutting Blade requires mastery at the Limit Breaking Realm to be fully executed. Techniques like the Falling Blossom Divine Sword Palm and the Dog Beating Staff Technique require at least the sixth stage of the Meridian Expanding Realm to begin cultivation."

"If your level isn’t sufficient and you force the training, it will result in physical damage. When cultivating ancient martial arts, it is essential to progress step by step and avoid rushing. Otherwise, it could lead to hidden injuries in the body. Additionally, I have a prescription for a traditional Chinese medicine formula. By preparing it, boiling it, and using it for herbal baths, it can heal hidden injuries and also act as a supplement for cultivation, helping to strengthen qi and improve physical strength."

Taking advantage of the large audience, Li Xiaofei once again elaborated on his philosophy and publicly shared the prescription. This formula had been created by Little Aunt, and was specifically designed to heal the hidden injuries left behind by forced training of the Great Strength Vajra Fist. It also worked to replenish qi, enrich the blood, and strengthen the body.

Li Xiaofei posted the prescription directly in the chat for everyone to see. He then continued the livestream, offering guidance to Guo Zong'ao on martial techniques, to Zhou Yidao on sword techniques, and to Su Qianni on palm techniques.

"Master, should I start a livestream as well?" Ding Mingya asked.

Li Xiaofei replied, "If you want to, go ahead. If not, that's up to you. Just make sure to pass on the staff technique I've taught you and promote ancient martial arts. Promoting the art doesn’t have to be limited by form. If you have the heart, every place can be a classroom. But there's one thing you must remember: if you teach, make sure it's the true legacy. Never hold back, never give half-truths, and never teach falsely. Otherwise, you'll only harm others."

Ding Mingya nodded seriously, "I understand, Master. You can trust me."

He sensed the same authoritative presence in Li Xiaofei that only the most respected senior professors at Beixia University possessed.

"I’ll start a livestream and teach the staff technique you’ve passed on to me to more people," Ding Mingya said, determined.

We want to become disciples too!

We want to follow the Patriarch and learn!

Patriarch, take me as a disciple!

Patriarch, your powers are boundless!

Countless fans were clamoring to become disciples in the livestream chat.

Li Xiaofei responded, "Thank you all for your support. However, I only have limited time and energy, so I cannot teach everyone one-on-one. I will apply to the Longya Group to expand the livestream room's capacity and restructure the training ground to accommodate more fans, allowing them to connect and join the training sessions."

The audience erupted in cheers. The light-network virtual world was nearly identical to the real world. Expanding the livestream room required money to buy virtual land, much like purchasing real estate in the physical world.

By expanding the training ground, more people could join the sessions in the space as if they were physically present and train alongside the Patriarch. Although the inner qi cultivated in the light-network couldn’t be brought back to the real world, the experiences, sensations, and insights gained during the training were entirely one’s own.

Moreover, users in the light-network could adjust their physical state to its optimal level, speeding up their cultivation progress. It was the best form of preview for real-world practice.

"That's it for today's livestream."

As soon as the time came, Li Xiaofei ended the stream with lightning speed.

Yet, the number of people in the livestream room kept growing. Clearly, the impact of this session was spreading rapidly. The online viewer count had exceeded 5 million, and the subscriber count was nearing 4 million.

Guo Zong'ao, Zhou Yidao, and Su Qianni were so excited that they felt like they were walking on air. But there was a nagging feeling, as if they had forgotten something important.

"I have a suggestion," Zhang Zhihong suddenly said, stroking his chin. "I'm sure you all will be very interested."
