Chapter 62: You Really Know How To Flaunt

The duel rules for this map were pre-set. The two contestants needed to stay alive while using the resources available in the research facility to capture the escaped star beasts and lock them back in their cages. The contestant who managed to cage the most star beasts within the allotted time would win.

This time, Qingye High School\'s beastmaster, He Ye, demonstrated superior skills. He Ye managed to cage six star beasts within half an hour, two more than Red Flag High School\'s beastmaster, Liu Xiao. Qingye High School finally pulled one back.

However, the mood in Qingye High School’s preparation area and among their students was far from celebratory. They were still trailing one to two. The situation was not looking good. The fourth match was the duel between the weapons mechanics.

“Haha, finally it’s my turn,” said Bai Longfei, eagerly taking the match key and walking towards the central light core mainframe. As he left, he winked at Li Xiaofei, signaling for President Li to watch closely.

Li Xiaofei\'s interest was piqued. To be honest, after cramming various basic knowledge into his head recently, he finally had some understanding of the role of each profession in the school battle team. But the league matches gave him a new level of insight.

The previous medic duel and beastmaster duel had left Li Xiaofei feeling like his eyes had been opened to new experiences. He could clearly see that the structure of these matches had deep significance. For over a hundred years, human warriors, whether hunting and clearing nearby areas or going deep into the wilderness to eliminate threats, adopted this five-person team approach according to the guidelines set by the Star Council.

This kind of small team combat, involving different professions working together, was highly efficient and didn’t trigger beast swarms. Thus, each high school battle team was trained and tested according to this standard.

As Bai Longfei prepared for his turn, Li Xiaofei was eager to see how the weapons mechanic would perform in this crucial fourth round. Five teammates, four professions. It was only by working closely together that they could achieve synergy where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

Li Xiaofei focused intently, eager to see the duel between weapons specialists. Chen Fei and the others were confident in Bai Longfei. This cocky guy was at the eighth stage of the Qi Refining Realm, second only to Yan Chiyu in terms of combat power within the Red Flag High School team. Moreover, Bai Longfei had a natural talent for weapons and mechanics. His achievements in this area even surpassed his personal combat skills. Thus, he was considered one of Red Flag High School’s aces.

In addition, his tall stature, handsome looks, and wealth made him very popular not only within the school but also somewhat known outside. On the other hand, Qingye High School’s weapons specialist was named Zhou Peng. He was an ordinary-looking, average-height boy.

Then, they both entered the light core mainframe. The system began randomly selecting a weapons specialist battle map.

“Oh? This time, the system randomly selected the Wang Mazi’s Blacksmith Shop map. This map is one of the three smallest scenes in the high school league’s map pool.”

As the match started, Shen Yan immediately began his commentary.

Bai Longfei and Zhou Peng appeared in a small smithy of just fifty square meters.

"We can see the walls of the blacksmith shop are covered with broken swords and blades," Shen Yan commented.

"Yes, both students need to quickly light the forge and start repairing these broken weapons. The contestant who repairs the most weapons in thirty minutes wins."

"Undoubtedly, this scenario is very favorable for Bai Longfei from Red Flag High School. Since Red Flag High School consistently adheres to ancient martial cultivation, Bai Longfei\'s primary focus as a weapons specialist is the repair of cold weapons."

"Qingye High School, being a proponent of the new martial arts, trained their weapons specialist Zhou Peng to be more skilled in the repair of firearms. Repairing cold weapons presents a significant challenge for him."

Shen Yan and his assistant were quick to explain the duel’s intricacies. Li Xiaofei also understood. Unlike the main fighter duels, which were focused on direct combat, the other professions\' contests seemed much more refined. Li Xiaofei now had a better understanding of the War God League\'s rules.

There were thousands of map scenes in the light network virtual world. When entering a specific match, the light core system would randomly assign a map based on the participants\' professions.

This particular map, Wang Mazi’s Blacksmith Shop, was said to replicate the famous workshop of blacksmith Wang Mazi [1] from ancient China, eight hundred years ago. The small size of this map only made it suitable for weapons specialist duels.

For Zhou Peng, who was proficient in firearm repairs, being assigned such a map was just bad luck. But luck was also part of the competition. However, this scenario was perfect for Bai Longfei, giving him a significant advantage.

“Haha, I humbly accept this victory in advance,” Bai Longfei laughed as he tore off his outer clothing, revealing his sculpted upper body muscles.

Even Li Xiaofei had to admit, this guy was well-built. His well-defined pectoral muscles, distinct abs, bright shoulder and arm lines, and broad chest and back formed the classic v-shaped physique of an attractive man.

At the same time, Li Xiaofei couldn\'t help but acknowledge how much of a show-off Bai Longfei was.

Damn it, even smithing had to involve flaunting his muscles.

Li Xiaofei was at a loss for words. The sound of hammering iron filled the air in the livestream. Both contestants had lit their respective forges and began the process of reforging the weapons.

Bai Longfei\'s expertise in this area was clearly superior. He wielded a 55 kg hammer with ease, each swing creating elegant arcs. Combined with his well-defined muscles, the entire scene had a peculiar beauty to it.

Every strike sent a shower of sparks into the air. What was a simple act of smithing became a dazzling and captivating performance under Bai Longfei\'s hands.

Many female viewers flooded into the livestream.

He\'s so handsome.

Those muscles... I want to squeeze them.

Ah, young bodies, I can handle that.

The comments started to become increasingly inappropriate. The match had no suspense. After thirty minutes, Bai Longfei emerged victorious, having repaired ten more swords and blades than his opponent. The score was now three to one. Red Flag High School had secured the victory.

The fifth round had yet to begin, but Red Flag High School had already secured the victory in the individual mode of Season 251 of the High School War God League’s opening match.

The arena erupted in cheers and screams. The teachers and students of Red Flag High School roared with all their might, releasing their pent-up emotions. They had endured so much during this period—online abuse, rumors, and constant humiliation.

The resounding victory in the individual mode finally gave them an outlet to vent their grievances. The overwhelming waves of cheers nearly blew the roof off.

"Who would have thought? Though they are ranked twenty-first, Qingye High School swallowed defeat in the individual mode."

"It\'s over. The final main fighter match no longer matters."

"Let\'s congratulate Red Flag High School; they performed better."

"Especially Li Xiaofei, who fought in the first match and took down Qingye High School\'s star player, Gao Shen, with one punch, setting a strong tone and stunning Qingye High School."

"Yes, Qingye High School was too complacent and proud. After losing the first match, they fell into disarray."

"Indeed, the main credit goes to Li Xiaofei."
