Starforce Warriors

Chapter 128: I Am Not Afraid Of You

The Jiepeng medical exchange delegation insisted on an impromptu challenge match during the evening event to prove the effectiveness of the surgery. Many people supported the decision. After all, the results of the surgery indeed appeared quite remarkable.

However, it was necessary to verify whether the martial artists who underwent the surgery could genuinely fight and whether their realms were authentic. Two of the most advanced light core mainframe cabins were quickly moved to the main stage. After a thorough inspection by the notary staff, the municipal government, and the Jiepeng medical exchange delegation, they were deemed ready for use.

The young man named Shan Bing was the first to enter the light core cabin. He connected to the network and entered the virtual light-network world. The giant screen at the venue began broadcasting live.

Shan Bing entered the level one trial, Stormy Snow Mountain, to challenge the Snow Winged Eagle. Although he had not cultivated any martial arts, the inscription of the Earthquake Dragon treasure bone that had been implanted in him allowed him to activate the Stomping Earth Thorn secret technique. Heeffortlessly killed dozens of Snow Winged Eagles. In the end, he failed to pass only due to his lack of combat experience.

However, this performance had already proven everything. The light core's data scan of the human body could not be erroneous. The combat strength exhibited in the light-network world reflected one’s true combat strength in the real world.

Shan Bing had transformed from a nobody into a martial artist capable of slaying star beasts. The change was truly monumental. Moreover, many could see that as long as he underwent some training to master his combat skills, Shan Bing's success in Stormy Snow Mountain was inevitable. Next, Qi Zhi's performance in the light-network world was also excellent.

Finally, it was Xiong Zhigang's turn to take the stage. He was a dominant force in the advanced level trial of the light-network world. The superstar high school league student demonstrated a level of skill and experience in the trial that left many in awe. Watching his battle was like witnessing a grand performance.

"No wonder he's the top student at Liuhe Base City High School."

"A true elite student."

"Such a talented individual, it's a shame Red Flag High School didn't retain him."

"Genius!"

The venue was filled with voices of admiration. Even the city leader Tan Zhenwei and commander Ding Longao nodded slightly. In a way, Xiong Zhigang represented the educational level of Liuhe Base City and brought honor to its name.

Gao Changlin, the head of the Education Department, was particularly overjoyed. Based on his experience, Xiong Zhigang undoubtedly had the capability to represent Liuhe Base City in the Northwest Regional League finals. After this new martial arts surgery, he would undoubtedly become even more formidable and have the potential to shine in the Northwest Regional League finals.

This was also a significant achievement for Gao Changlin. When Gao Changlin noticed that even Inspector Li Zhoumin was pleased with Xiong Zhigang's performance, nodding frequently, he felt even more elated.

Soon, the three 'lucky ones' completed their demonstrations.

Jiepeng’s Kuramaki Kazuki proudly said, "I believe everyone present is very satisfied with the results of the surgery. However, I must tell you that this is merely the third-level surgery currently mastered by the Sanshang Group. There are also second and first-level surgeries with even more potent effects, capable of elevating martial artists to the Acupoint Opening Realm, Meridian Expanding Realm, and even the Five Spirits Realm... "

The hall was filled with exclamations of surprise. If this were true, then this new martial arts surgery was indeed groundbreaking. It suggested not only the mass production of martial artists but also the mass production of high-level martial artists.

Could it be that humanity's counterattack against the star beasts will truly be based on this new martial arts surgery?

"And I can responsibly assure you all that these surgeries have absolutely no side effects," Kuramaki Kazuki continued. "There will be no residual star beast energy, and no mental pollution. Moreover, we can even reserve upgrade potential during the surgery process. Once better and more suitable Inscribed Treasure Bones become available, a second surgery can be performed to replace the implanted bones, allowing the recipient's strength to continue to improve!"

Kuramaki Kazuki's words were full of temptation. Everyone seemed to see a shortcut to the pinnacle of power.

To prove his point, Kuramaki Kazuki turned to Xiong Zhigang and said, "Xiong Zhigang, as one of the first martial artists to undergo the surgery, could you share your experience?"

Xiong Zhigang's eyes sparkled with intense determination.

"I feel great." He said confidently. "I feel like I can defeat any opponent, including... "

He suddenly pointed at Li Xiaofei.

"Li Xiaofei, do you dare accept my challenge?" He said as he looked down from the stage. "As a dual badge bearer, do you dare to fight me openly and fairly?"

The hall erupted. No one had expected Xiong Zhigang to challenge Li Xiaofei at that moment. Even Kuramaki Kazuki was taken aback. He felt quite displeased with Xiong Zhigang's disobedience. However, just as he was about to say something, he noticed Tsukiha Yaiba gently shaking his head in the audience, signaling him not to intervene.

"You're shameless!" Tan Qingying was the first to slam the table and jump to her feet. "You are at the fourth stage of the Limit Breaking Realm, while Li Xiaofei is in the Qi Refining Realm. You're a whole realm apart, and you call this fair?"

Xiong Zhigang ignored Tan Qingying as he stared at Li Xiaofei and said calmly, "One must bear the weight of a crown... Do you dare or not?"

Li Xiaofei replied indifferently, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, I'm sure." Xiong Zhigang curled his finger aggressively, "You haven't answered me yet, do you dare to fight or not?"

Countless eyes landed on Li Xiaofei. Everyone realized that this boy’s first challenge after being in the limelight all evening had arrived like a bolt of lightning. If he refused to fight, the glory he had earned earlier would be significantly diminished. Xiong Zhigang could easily step on Li Xiaofei to rise to the top, becoming the first in Liuhe Base City's high school scene to intimidate a dual badge bearer. At least it made for a great media headline.

If he accepted the challenge, the Limit Breaking Realm could easily crush the Qi Refining Realm. Li Xiaofei had no chance of winning. Meanwhile, Xiong Zhigang would undoubtedly become the first in Liuhe Base City's high school scene to brutally defeat a dual badge bearer. An even more sensational headline. No matter what, he stood in an invincible position.

Li Xiaofei slowly stood up.

Tan Qingying panicked. "Don't fall for it... "

Li Xiaofei smiled at her. "Trust me."

He looked toward the main stage and said clearly, "If you want to fight, then we shall fight."

I am not afraid of you!
