Chapter 157: Let’s Call Him King King

Li Xiaofei stood still, a trace of puzzlement on his face. Wang Siyu\'s injuries weren\'t severe; he still had the strength to continue fighting, yet he had voluntarily conceded. This was not in line with the usual style of the Soul of Hongye.

A light core transmission beam enveloped Li Xiaofei as he too left the battlefield. When he exited the light core virtual world, Li Xiaofei slowly opened his eyes in the mainframe cabin.

His physical state was good. He felt a bit mentally fatigued, almost like he had fought a real battle. He stepped out of the light core cabin and saw that Wang Siyu had already exited but had not left; instead, he was standing by, smiling and waiting for him.

"Will you steadfastly follow the path of traditional martial arts?" Wang Siyu looked at him and asked.

Li Xiaofei nodded without hesitation, "The Great Xia martial lineage is my lifelong pursuit. If there comes a day when the Great Xia martial lineage no longer exists in this world, then neither will I."

"Magnificent." Wang Siyu laughed heartily.

He slowly extended his hand, "We share the same ideals."

Li Xiaofei stepped forward and shook his hand. Since coming to this era five hundred years into the future, Li Xiaofei had met many people. But Wang Siyu was undoubtedly a true gentleman. Someone who could genuinely resonate with Li Xiaofei on the martial path.

"What is the name of your palm technique?" Wang Siyu asked curiously.

Li Xiaofei did not hide it, "Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms."

"Great name." Wang Siyu repeated the name several times, "Li Xiaofei, let\'s add each other on light core after the match. We should keep in touch and exchange ideas more often."

"Nothing would please me more," Li Xiaofei replied.

Being able to spar and compete with a top league star like Wang Siyu would undoubtedly have a tremendous effect on improving his own skills. This was the companionship part of the resources needed for cultivation.

Wang Siyu turned and walked towards the preparation area of Hongye High School. The entire venue was incredibly quiet. The fans in the stands continued to look at the young man with reverence.

Wang Siyu arrived at the edge of the preparation area and first bowed deeply to the fans in the stands, thanking them for their support. Instantly, the arena erupted in thunderous applause.

The fans were paying tribute to their idol even though he had lost the match. No one blamed him. No one criticized him. There would always be highs and lows in martial arts competitions. There would always be winners. But no one would always win.

Wang Siyu had given enough for Hongye High School. Losing an inconsequential solo mode match was nothing. No one would blame him even if he lost a crucial elimination match. The title Soul of Hongye was not built on an undefeated record. It was built on persistent dedication and an unyielding determination. It was built on a heart loyal and unchanging even when burned by a hundred fires.

The scene made Li Xiaofei feel a pang of envy. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who was capable of garnering such unconditional admiration and respect from so many people must possess immense personal charm. He couldn\'t help but join in the applause. The broadcast cameras keenly captured this moment.

"Wang Siyu truly deserves to be a superstar in the league. His charisma is boundless, even conquering someone as arrogant as the Fist King Li Xiaofei."

"Fist King? After today, we should call him the Palm King."

"Palm King? That sounds a bit awkward."

"Fist King, Palm King—why not just call him King King?"

"Come to think of it, this is the first time the rebel Li Xiaofei has shown respect to an opponent."

"That\'s right, even the other star student, The Beast Zheng Shou, didn\'t earn a shred of respect from him. He just taunted him relentlessly."

"Rebel? Actually, that nickname isn\'t bad."

"Two words feel like something\'s missing."

"Oh, I got it! How about calling him the Outlaw Rebel?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don\'t you know? Li Xiaofei comes from the slum, a place beyond the reach of government laws and a lawless area. So calling him the Outlaw Rebel makes perfect sense."

"Brilliant."

The streamers started creating a frenzy with their commentary.

The viewers in the livestream rooms were immediately captivated by the nickname Outlaw Rebel. It was fitting. As soon as they heard it, they could imagine a lawless, wildly unrestrained individual. It matched the persona Li Xiaofei had consistently displayed.

So, the mischievous viewers began flooding various livestreams, spamming comments.

The Soul of Hongye remains honorable in defeat, bow to the Outlaw Rebel.

Soon, the nickname Outlaw Rebel spread across the light-network. Of course, that included the livestream of Little White Dragon in the Waves Shen Yan.

"What? Outlaw Rebel?"

When he understood the origin of the nickname, Shen Yan couldn\'t help but laugh and cry.

"It sounds quite powerful." Little You, who was still cosplaying the Goddess, chimed in, "It has the fierce aura of an apocalyptic bandit, as if no one in this world can subdue him. Paired with that captivating look... I accept this nickname."

Shen Yan didn’t know what to say about that. He felt a bit jealous inside.

Is it appropriate for you to be fanboying over another man while drawing a salary from me?

"You can always count on Li Xiaofei. This time, the one he defeated was the league\'s superstar Wang Siyu. A victory that was unexpected yet perfectly reasonable!"

"Li Xiaofei continues his streak as an unbeatable dark horse! This victory also proves one thing: even against the league\'s top stars, Li Xiaofei remains a formidable competitor."

Shen Yan praised Li Xiaofei in his livestream. His statements gained the agreement of countless people. The victory in this battle was of immense significance. It indicated that Li Xiaofei was no longer an ordinary dark horse. He had truly become a top competitor in the league. He possessed the strength to defeat any opponent in solo mode.

Meanwhile, Wang Siyu returned to his team\'s preparation area where the other team members came forward to embrace him. The atmosphere in the Hongye High School team remained very relaxed, with smiles unhidden on the faces of the team members.

It was evident that they had absolute confidence in the upcoming team mode match. In fact, their confidence was well-founded. Hardly anyone believed that Red Flag High School could defeat Hongye High School in team mode.

Besides Li Xiaofei, the other Red Flag High School team members were significantly weaker. It was impossible for Li Xiaofei to single-handedly defeat the entire team with league superstars like Wang Siyu and Gu Haochen in the same way he defeated Longteng High School.

At the same time, the other matches in the current round also had startling results.

"Oh my God, I can\'t believe this is real."

"Oh wow, the league just got a lot more interesting."

"Another case of the underdog winning! Quanye High School\'s Tsukiha Yaiba has created a miracle."

"Li Xiaofei isn\'t alone on his path of miracles; he has company."

The commentators were stunned as they received real-time updates on the matches.
