Chapter 66: Tone It Down A Bit

We won? How did we win?

They had no idea what had happened. One moment they were worried about the match, and the next moment they had already won.

Could it be?

The four of them looked at each other, instantly considering one possibility. But it was too absurd. This was the Blizzard Polar Region map. This was the least likely map for a RUSH tactic.

How did Li Xiaofei single-handedly annihilate the entire Qingye High School team?

As they stood there, bewildered, a transmission beam descended from the sky. The four were then transported away by the light core system.

Meanwhile, the competition arena had transformed into a sea of frenzied cheers.

"Fist King!"

"Fist King!"

On the stands, the students and teachers of Red Flag High School were shouting themselves hoarse. Their voices were strained and their throats were bloody, but they didn’t care. What had just happened in the match was more unbelievable than any reality. Li Xiaofei had annihilated the entire opponent team single-handedly. He had secured a pentakill. A pentakill!

This was a feat worthy of being immortalized in the season’s highlight reel. Even the most ardent Red Flag High School fans wouldn\'t have dared to dream of such an outcome.

At that moment, they felt as if they were in a dream.

Is that boy who single-handedly defeated five opponents really a student of Red Flag High School?

In stark contrast, the supporters from Qingye High School were utterly silent. Their seating area was dead quiet. The young Qingye students had blank expressions on their faces. They looked at the replay on the central screen in the arena, then at their companions. Their minds were completely blank. Their vocal cords seemed frozen solid.

This was not the outcome they had hoped for. Even the most pessimistic among them hadn’t imagined such a scenario. Achieving a pentakill in the High School War God League was already a monumental feat. But to do it alone, one against five, was nearly impossible.

The students of Qingye High School had never thought that such a humiliating defeat would happen to their own team.

In the arena, Qingye High School principal Wei Dayong stood there, stupefied. The teachers and other substitute players beside him were in shock. After being crushed in individual mode, they desperately needed to save their honor in team mode. But they suffered an even greater humiliation in the first match of the BO3 series. It was a one-sided massacre.

The Qingye High School team, who had built a camp and crafted armor and weapons, had been utterly destroyed by a single, unarmed opponent from Red Flag High School.

This wasn’t a matter of tactics. Nor was it a matter of courage. It was simply a case of being outclassed. The gap in strength was like an insurmountable chasm.

With two more matches to go, what should we do?

As the principal, Wei Dayong was at a complete loss. The match had not only shattered the confidence of the team members but also deeply affected the main commander, Wei Dayong.

In this critical moment, he knew he had to hold firm. Clearing his throat, he took the initiative to step forward, meeting the dejected faces of Gao Shen and the others as they returned to the waiting area.

"Don\'t be discouraged. You didn\'t do anything wrong. Victory and defeat are common for a warrior. Hold your heads up," said Wei Dayong, hugging each of his students one by one.

Facing their downcast eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "We still have two more matches. I believe in you. You must prove yourselves. If you lose your fighting spirit now, you will indeed be forever nailed to the pillar of shame."

He mustered a smile and said, "Even if we lose the remaining two matches, don\'t worry too much. The other side clearly has a monstrous prodigy. What you need to do is to prove your courage in the last two opportunities."

In the southern preparation area, Li Xiaofei was being lifted and tossed into the air by his excited teammates. The usually boisterous peach blossom eyes principal, who had witnessed the entire match, now had a surprisingly serene demeanor. He wore a smile and was more composed than ever. Grandpa Qin, the gatekeeper, wiped his glasses and also smiled gently.

Standing beside the two teachers, Yan Chiyu watched with a calm expression as Li Xiaofei was thrown into the air repeatedly. However, the other team members were far from calm. When Li Xiaofei had showcased his absolute strength in the first individual match, they began to imagine that Red Flag High School might win the team mode. But they had not expected the victory to come so easily.

Single handedly annihilating the whole team. Such feats were once only witnessed when prodigies from top noble high schools faced the lowest-ranked teams in the league. But this time, Red Flag High School had become the protagonist of the miracle.

"Hey, that\'s enough... Damn, I\'m afraid of heights!" Li Xiaofei shouted, "Put me down!"

It took a while for Bai Longfei and the others to relent. As the vice-captain, Fang Buyi stood on the outskirts of the crowd, smiling. But as he smiled, his eyes suddenly became a bit moist. He turned to look beside him. Yan Chiyu was quietly watching beside him. When he saw the calm expression on her beautiful face, Fang Buyi was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn\'t help but wipe away his tears.

He had fought side by side with Yan Chiyu for the past two years. Only he knew what kind of pressure the once absolute genius, who had once captured the attention of the entire Liuhe Base City, had been enduring all these years. She had carried the weight of Red Flag High School\'s progress alone. She had only been able to move slowly with this burden. The once stunningly beautiful face, which had captivated countless people, was not incapable of smiling, nor was it always cold and unfeeling.

She had once smiled like others her age, singing and skipping through the campus, letting the breeze play with her long black hair, and eagerly joining her classmates in games.

The Yan Chiyu of the past, with long hair down to her waist, had been ethereal. She was also a sweet and gentle girl. But then, why had her long hair become short, and her smiling face turn into ice?

It was through Red Flag High School\'s repeated league failures, the school’s declining ranking, the departure of old friends transferring to other schools, and the resignation of once-respected teachers... She had been transformed into who she was now.

Fang Buyi knew clearly how fervent and passionate Yan Chiyu’s desire was to win the league for Red Flag High School. But this fervor and passion had seemed like a lone struggle over the past two years. One person couldn’t support an entire team. This was Yan Chiyu’s greatest sorrow. Fang Buyi had once pushed himself to his limits in cultivation. However, his talent was ultimately limited, and he couldn’t truly help Yan Chiyu. But now, everything was different. They had Li Xiaofei.

Li Xiaofei had arrived. Li Xiaofei had proven himself with just this one match. He proved he was worthy of fighting alongside the most outstanding genius of Red Flag High School. With Li Xiaofei, Yan Chiyu no longer had to fight alone. Red Flag High School finally had some glimmer of hope.

Fang Buyi wiped away his tears and began to laugh loudly. Everyone looked at him.

Li Xiaofei walked over and patted his shoulder. "Though my performance just now was indeed incredible, Old Fang, your laughter is a bit too exaggerated and over the top. Tone it down a bit."

"You brat," replied Fang Buyi, punching him heavily on the shoulder.

He called the team members to temporarily suppress their excitement and not get too carried away, preparing for the next two matches. But in truth, the next two team matches were no contest.

Despite Principal Wei Dayong\'s efforts to encourage morale, it was in vain. Gao Shen and the other youths were, after all, just high school students. Being wiped out by Li Xiaofei’s pentakill had completely shattered their mental state.

Red Flag High School won the following two matches effortlessly. The first round of Season 251 concluded with a decisive victory for Red Flag High School .
