Upon witnessing this scene,
the several hundred thousand spectators on the spectator platform were all stunned and shocked.
Fang Kui, who had previously performed so fiercely, was beaten down by Li Yuan with just two or three thrusts of his spear.
But after a moment of stunned silence, the spectator platform erupted with deafening cheers.
“Li Yuan!”
“Li Yuan!” Nearly three hundred thousand students from various Martial Arts Universities in Xia Country shouted out in a tsunami of voices that echoed in the entire combat space.
So domineering!
Fang Kui? The top genius from Sicheng Martial Arts University? He still got swept away easily by Li Yuan.
“Li Yuan!”
“Big brother,” the several thousand students gathered from Kunlun Martial University were completely boiling with excitement.
“Li Yuan,” even Sister Qiu Jing was waving her fists and shouting excitedly.
For a moment, the voices of students from other countries and schools were completely drowned out by the cheers of Xia Country students.
There’s no helping it!
In this kind of Martial Path duel arena, everything speaks through strength.
Just like during the first match, when Garava’s strong outbreak made the over one hundred thousand students from Tianzhu Country excited.
Now, in this third match, Li Yuan’s display was even more fierce and domineering than Garava’s.
The true king of the arena.
…
In another spectator space, over a hundred elderly Prime Warriors from various schools kept their eyes glued to the clash on the platform.
When they saw Li Yuan defeat Fang Kui with two thrusts, these teachers couldn’t help but let out exclamations of amazement.
“Excellent spear technique!”
“Fourth Level high-rank, executing Stellar Spear Technique moves, truly fluent.”
“He must have broken through quite a while ago.”
“Worthy of being the number one freshman from Kunlun Martial University, impressive!!” These teachers, with their exceptional eyesight, praised one after another.
“Morita, now you know about this Li Yuan,” said the robed elder Ba Qiang with a chuckle, patting Morita Daiku on the shoulder: “Better advise Kimura Tatsuo to steer clear this afternoon.”
Morita Daiku frowned, glancing subconsciously towards Li Yang and Dean Xu not far away.
He happened to see Li Yang looking at him, a trace of ridicule and provocation on his face.
“Damn it,” Morita Daiku cursed under his breath, feeling a headache coming on.
Of course, he understood, trouble was brewing.
Li Yang’s character seemed gentle, but that was towards his younger peers.
Towards many strong people of his own generation, Li Yang was famous for holding grudges.
If this afternoon, Li Yuan really targets Kimura Tatsuo, it’s more likely to go badly.
However,
Backing down? Morita Daiku didn’t have this habit.
“Hmph! With the points Kimura has accumulated, it’s not difficult for him to get into the top 136. Just consider it a kind of tempering,” Morita Daiku thought to himself.
Anyway, it isn’t he who’s getting hit! What’s there to fear!
…
On the platform, after slaying Fang Kui in a single encounter,
Boom! Li Yuan sprang into action, continuing to slay the other contestants on the platform.
“Delayed by eight seconds, I should have been able to get two or three points. Lost two points,” Li Yuan muttered to himself.
Fang Kui? From the very beginning, Li Yuan had never taken him seriously.
A cage battle royale, in Li Yuan’s eyes, posed no difficulty.
The only difference was the overall points ranking. Li Yuan aimed for the top spot.
Boom! Spear lights danced as all the people on the platform recognized him, Li Yuan simply took off his mask.
He charged into the crowd like a whirlwind,
once again stirring up a bloody storm.
Li Yuan’s points kept rising, his overall ranking climbing rapidly, quickly closing in on Garava.
“Kill!”
Li Yuan didn’t specifically help fellow Kunlun Martial University students, but he did clean out students from other schools first.
After a good two minutes,
only Li Yuan and seven other students from Kunlun Martial University remained on the platform.
They all looked at Li Yuan.
“What’s the hesitation?” said Li Yuan seriously, “In a cage battle royale, the victor stands alone.
“I’ll give you all a chance, come at me together.”
The seven Kunlun Martial University students exchanged glances.
After only a second’s hesitation, they all charged at Li Yuan with howls.
Thirty seconds later, only Li Yuan stood alone on the entire platform.
“Not bad, the bluster worked, got the last seven points,” Li Yuan murmured to himself, “Finally in first place.”
Killing one nets 1 point!
Surviving till the end gets an extra 10 points.
If those seven Kunlun Martial University students had fought each other just now, Li Yuan would have lost at least two points.
Thus, the third cage battle royale ended.
Li Yuan stood at the top with ’74 points’.
It could be said, nearly one-third of the participants on the platform were slain by Li Yuan.
How fierce.
…
As Li Yuan disappeared from the platform, the entire spectator platform once again erupted with an unprecedentedly fervent roar.
“Li Yuan!”
“First place! Take the championship!”
“Li Yuan,” the several hundred thousand students from Xia Country shouted excitedly.
At that moment, students from all the Martial Arts Universities in Xia Country all remembered the name ‘Li Yuan.’
…”This Li Yuan, so strong.”
“Indeed, fierce.”
“Kunlun Martial University, truly deserving of being Xia Country’s number one Martial Arts University,” students from other countries’ Martial Arts Universities were also discussing.
“This afternoon, it seems like Kimura will be facing Li Yuan.”
“What?”
“Kimura and Li Yuan? Can Kimura win?”
“It’s doubtful!”
“Nonsense, Kimura is the strongest, he will definitely defeat this man from Xia Country,” tens of thousands of students from Sakura Country were the most worried.
According to the schedule, in this afternoon’s second round of the cage battle royale, Li Yuan would be up against Kimura Tatsuo.
…
“Li Yuan? Just as teacher said, he will be one of the biggest obstacles to reaching the top four,” Garava’s eyes were filled with seriousness: “His battle against Fang Kui, that couldn’t have been his full strength.”
“Hopefully.”
“This afternoon, hopefully, Kimura Tatsuo can push him to reveal his true strength,” Garava thought to himself.
…
“This afternoon, I’ll be facing Li Yuan?” Kimura Tatsuo thought to himself.
At the same time, he was browsing the comments on the spectator screen, his brows slightly furrowed, “They all say I’m no match for Li Yuan?”
“Hmph!”
“Just by defeating a Fang Kui, all these people from Xia Country have gained so much confidence?” Kimura Tatsuo braced himself, “Believe in yourself.”
“I am the strongest.”
…
“Li Yuan, impressive.” In a nondescript area of the Jiangbei Martial Arts University’s Spectator Space, Lǐ Tianyou revealed a slight smile.
He was pleased for Li Yuan.
…
A nondescript area in the Spectator Platform.
Two girls in casual clothes were sitting here.
“Sis, Li Yuan is really much more formidable now.” Wu Dongdong, who had her hair tied in a ponytail, exclaimed, “During the Jiangbei invitation event, I thought I could beat him, but now? Definitely not his match anymore.”
Lin Lanyue smiled slightly, “Keep it up, he’s just a step ahead.”
“What do you mean ‘just a step ahead’?”
Wu Dongdong corrected her, “He’s gone from being two steps behind me to two steps ahead! The teacher said he might reach Subtlety before his sophomore year.”
Lin Lanyue just smiled without replying.
“Ah, Sis, take a quick look,” Wu Dongdong suddenly said with a smirk, pointing at the Spectator Screen.
Lin Lanyue looked over.
“Li Yuan is so cool.”
“I wonder if Li Yuan has a girlfriend.”
“So handsome! Why don’t we have such handsome guys at our East Sea Martial University?”
“Li Yuan 666.” A vast number of barrage comments were rolling across the screen.
“Dongdong, I won’t watch the remaining matches,” Lin Lanyue said with a smile, “I’m going to train.”
“Yue Yue sis, stop grinding, take a break for a day,” Wu Dongdong exclaimed with wide eyes, “Watching the matches is so much better.”
“I’ll come back for Li Yuan’s match in the 17th fight this afternoon,” Lin Lanyue said with a smile.
Without a sound, Lin Lanyue’s figure disappeared from the spectators’ seats.
…
In another inconspicuous area of the Spectator Platform.
“This Li Yuan.”
“So fierce!”
“I feel he’s much fiercer than Tian Dazhuang, the sense of pressure Garava gave me doesn’t seem as strong as his.” Guan Ying and Yu Ming exchanged glances, their eyes filled with seriousness.
The records only showed that Li Yuan had reached the Bright Moon Stage, but how strong exactly?
It required real combat to analyze.
One look, and Guan Ying and Yu Ming understood that the opponent was indeed not easy to handle.
“And Dantai Feng?” Yu Ming wondered out loud.
“His battle rounds are 10 and 12,” Guan Ying shook his head, “He’ll come later.”
“He’s not watching Li Yuan and Garava fight?” Yu Ming widened his eyes in surprise.
“He said it was pointless,” Guan Ying spread his hands, “And he told me, only the weak seek information.”
“This pretentious sicko! Can’t he live without boasting?” Yu Ming ground his teeth.
…
At Starfire University, in a villa, in the underground Martial Arts Room.
“Li Yuan’s Spear Technique is indeed sharp.” The young man in black watched the battle scene on the screen intently.
Dantai Feng was repeatedly watching the battle between Li Yuan and Fang Kui.
“Yu Ming, those two idiots.”
“Probably don’t know I have the privilege to project and watch the battles,” Dantai Feng closed his eyes and pondered silently.
Show off? He indeed liked to show off, but he wasn’t blindly arrogant.
…
After finishing the fight, Li Yuan didn’t exit the virtual network but returned to the Spectator Platform.
“Senior Brother.”
“Li Yuan.” Hundreds of students from Kunlun Martial University around him got excited at once.
“Quiet, everyone quiet down and watch the upcoming matches,” Li Yuan said with a smile, gesturing with his hand.
The area in the Spectator Space finally fell silent.
As time passed, one after another, the cage battles proceeded rapidly, and one after another, the Fourth Level experts erupted.
In the fourth match, the most dazzling was a freshman girl from the Capital Martial Arts University named ‘Shi Ruo,’ but like Kimura Tatsuo, she did not possess the power to dominate the entire arena.
In the fifth match, the first wildcard entrant ‘Yu Ming’ made his debut.
Similar to Li Yuan, he demonstrated dominating strength, almost sweeping the arena and finally scoring 51 points.
In the sixth match, the second wildcard entrant ‘Guan Ying’ appeared, ultimately scoring 47 points.
The seventh match…
…
The tenth cage battle, the last one of the morning session.
At this moment, the number of spectators had exceeded 600,000, even more than last year.
In the limelight, the last wildcard entrant ‘Dantai Feng’ finally made his appearance.
“Dantai Feng.” Li Yuan sat in the spectator seats, his gaze fixed on the figure clad in black.
At that moment, not just Li Yuan.
Each of the Fourth Level experts from the ten famous universities were staring at that figure.
All the elite students who had entered the battle knew that Dantai Feng was the biggest obstacle on their road to the championship.
Even more so.
In several areas of the Spectator Platform, some inconspicuous figures had appeared.
They were elite students from Starfire University, Starry Sky University, and even Black Stone University, who had not participated in the ten-school freshman battle.
But they all wanted to see for themselves what level of skill Starfire University’s top genius ‘Dantai Feng’ possessed.
The battle erupted swiftly.
To everyone’s surprise, Dantai Feng’s weapon was not a sword and shield, but a pair of swords.
This!
It was the first time Dantai Feng showed the art of dual swords.
On the platform.
“Sword and shield?” Dantai Feng looked casually at the other contestants surrounding him and muttered to himself with a smirk, “Who is worthy of making me use a shield? Let’s end this boring battle quickly.”
The battle began.
“Boom!” Dantai Feng exploded into action the instant the fight started; his form shifting dozens of meters at once, with his swords whipping through the sky.
“Not good.”
“This sword technique.” The participants along his path panicked, trying to wield their own weapons in defense.
“Whoosh!”
The long swords chopped down, swift as lightning, unstoppable! Contestants were sent sprawling to the ground one after another.
Some had their heads flung off, others had their throats sliced open with a giant gash.
Some were even cleaved face-on, sent flying, their armors nearly split open by the horrifying impact, leaving them coughing up blood, powerless to resist.
In no time, the platform turned into a river of blood, becoming a solo performance by Dantai Feng.
No one was his match in a single exchange.
Advanced Third Stage skills? Initial Fourth Stage skills? They seemed to make no difference before him.
All were dispatched with a single strike!
In the end, the tenth cage battle concluded, Dantai Feng alone scored 76 points, surpassing Li Yuan’s 74 points.
A comeback to become the total score leader.
“76 points should be enough to make it into the top eight,” said Dantai Feng with a smirk, “I can skip the second cage battle this afternoon.”
His figure disappeared from the platform directly.
