<h4>Chapter 371: He Is Ignorant</h4>
"What about Su Qianni?" Yang Hui reminded, "Her first stream was quite sessful as well. Shouldn''t we give her a push too?"
Liao Qixing thought for a moment and replied, "Let’s wait and see. Su Qianni is different from Your Grandpa; her appeal relies on her looks, and her first stream was heavily promoted. That’s why it had the impact it did. We need to observe the results in theing days before deciding if it''s worth doubling down. Right now, we should focus our efforts on boosting Your Grandpa."
The team members realized just howmitted the team leader was to supporting Your Grandpa. Yang Hui sighed quietly to herself. That’s the nature of the livestreaming world; resources are always limited.
The resources that were originally intended for Su Qianni were now, inevitably, going to be redirected toward Your Grandpa. She would have to figure out how to exin this to Su Qianni. After all, Su Qianni was someone she had worked hard to sign.

At the same time, a discussion was taking ce in a LightChat group called the Longya Group Martial Arts Streamer Group.
This group had been created by Longya Group’s top martial arts streamer, Invincible Below the Dao, and had over four hundred members. All the members were well-known martial arts streamers on the tform, and you needed at least 10,000 viewers during your stream to qualify for entry.
<i>Brothers, the wolf is at the door. This new streamer is something else.</i>
A streamer called Martial Arts You Ba sent a video link to the video of Li Xiaofei’s first stream, the one that had gone viral, which was now officially published by Longya Group’s main ount.
<i>Hmph, just another clueless neer. He’ll burn out as quickly as he’s appeared.</i>
<i>My fans have been talking about this new streamer like they’ve been hypnotized, and they’ve been pushing his content like crazy. I’ve already kicked several out, but I can’t stop it. Even a few of my top-ranking fans are saying this new guy has something that they’re going to check out.</i>
Wind Thunder Sword God was quick to add.
<i>I checked out his stream. Man, even the recording is pulling in about 10,000 viewers, and people are still sending gifts. This guy’s staying power is pretty scary.</i>
The topic quickly caught the attention of many streamers. Everyone in the industry kept a close eye on trends. The rise of a new streamer inevitably meant they would take some of the existing streamers'' resources, leading to tension, exclusion, and even hostility.
At that point, Martial Arts You Ba tagged the group owner, Invincible Below the Dao.
<i>Boss, the tform seems to be backing this kid pretty hard. I think he’s going tost a while. Maybe we should reach out and bring him into the group?</i>
Finally, Invincible Below the Dao appeared.
<i>If he knows what’s good for him, he shoulde visit us, the senior streamers, himself.</i>
This was typical of Invincible Below the Dao. He was arrogant and domineering, but he had earned the right to be. With over ten million subscribers, more than three million live viewers per stream, countless endorsements, and sponsorships, he was one of the top twenty streamers on the Longya tform. Just a word from him could make a small streamer famous, and he often appeared on trending topics on social media. He was at the height of his fame.
After his statement, most of the other streamers fell silent.

At that moment, Three Fists Shaking the Heavens Guo Zong''ao finally couldn’t hold back.
<i>Actually, Your Grandpa has a lot of charisma, and his skills are strong. I think we should reach out to him and bring him into the group. If we build a good rtionship with him, our martial arts streaming section might explode in poprity.</i>
But just after Guo Zong''ao spoke, everyone noticed a system message appear in the chat:
<i>Group member ''Guo Zong''ao'' has been removed by the group owner.</i>
He had been kicked out. Invincible Below the Dao sent a message to the group.
<i>A disgrace like him, kneeling before a neer to call him master, doesn’t deserve to be in our group.</i>
The other streamers, seeing this, couldn’t help but shiver. It was clear that the top streamer was very unhappy with Your Grandpa. Everyone realized they’d need to tread carefully from now on.

<i>At the Cloudy Sky Gang headquarters. </i>
After finishing his livestream, Li Xiaofei returned home for dinner. Without his aunt who used to quietly sit with them, even the simple act of eating felt dull to him.
Li Jie chattered endlessly about her school. She had transferred back to Cloudy Sky Youth Academy, the school for the children of the Cloudy Sky Gang, and every day was filled with new and exciting events. She had so much to talk about.
But she no longer remembered their aunt. Zhong Ling quietly ate, asionally stealing nces at Li Xiaofei. It seemed as if nothing had changed. But Li Xiaofei knew better; things could never go back to the way they were.
After dinner, Li Xiaofei received a call from Xiao Hongye.
"I’ve asked around, and none of the prestigious schools in Xiajing, including the 211 and 985 universities, are willing to ept you," Xiao Hongye said helplessly. "The education world is full of powerful factions, and strange things happen all the time. But this time, it seems the president of Beixia University personally intervened, which is why all the prestigious schools are taking the same stance."
Li Xiaofei fell silent. He was disappointed to see that the martial arts education system in Great Xia had be like this.
"I don’t believe that Beixia University can control all of Xiajing," he said firmly. "I don’t need to go to a prestigious school. Any school with proper reditation will do. Thank you for your efforts, Sister Xiao."
Xiao Hongye replied, "Alright then. I’ve already contacted some regr schools, and most of them are very interested in you, but they’re afraid of Beixia University’s threats. I’ll keep asking around."
"Thank you for your help, Sister Xiao."
Li Xiaofei then added, "By the way, I need a batch of fifth-generation pure Starforce Reagents. Do you have any resources on your end?"
He was now fully focused on advancing his cultivation. He had the techniques and time, butcked the necessary resources. Starforce Reagents were essential for providing continuous energy, which would help him speed up his progress.
Xiao Hongye hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can find them, but the price has doubledpared to before."
Li Xiaofei was shocked and asked, "How did the price increase so much in such a short time?"
Xiao Hongye sighed over the phone. "You might not know this, but the global situation has been unstable ever since the Spring Festival. The Beast Kings in the ten forbidden zones have been showing signs of activity, and beast tides are happening more frequently. The Star Council has reduced the civilian distribution of strategic weapons and resources, which has caused the price of Starforce Reagents to skyrocket. Many major families are stockpiling their supplies."
Li Xiaofei replied resolutely, "No choice. Even if it’s expensive, I need to buy them. I have to grow stronger as soon as possible."
After hanging up, Li Xiaofei exhaled slowly. They might try to keep him out of Xiajing, but he was determined to go. When the time came, he would crush all those so-called prestigious schools beneath his feet.
"I''m full," Li Xiaofei said as he set down his bowl and turned to leave.
He headed straight to the training room at Cloudy Sky Gang headquarters, where he trained relentlessly, making the most of every second.
Before he knew it, it was time for his next livestream. He entered the light core virtual world, only to unexpectedlye across Liao Qixing, who seemed to have been waiting for him.
