“Li Yuan is good at defense.”
“If it were a tournament with a need to determine a winner, then Hoffman would undoubtedly lose… But this is a melee battle, while Li Yuan can easily defend, he can’t force Hoffman into a fight to the death,” observed those Flying Heaven Warriors in the higher-level Spectator Space easily identifying this fact.
Their realms were too high, at least at the Fifth Stage Perfection skill level.
They could tell that Li Yuan’s realm was somewhat superior, but his strength lay in defense, without a fundamental difference from Hoffman.
“This battle looks like it’s going to end in a draw,” Dean Xu murmured quietly.
“That’s enough,” Li Yang was extremely satisfied, smiling and saying, “How long has Li Yuan just stepped into the Fifth Stage? In less than two months, he’s already reached the limit of the Initial Rank of the Fifth Stage.”
“With such strong defense, he can already aim for the top ten, or even top five,” Li Yang’s eyes shone brightly.
The power Li Yuan revealed was stronger than he had expected.
“Hmm, strong defense gives a significant advantage during the final tournament battles,” Dean Xu couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
…
In the continuous mountain forests of the Seventh Star Realm battlefield.
Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and Hoffman were still fighting fiercely.
The terrifying aftershocks of their battle resonated for several kilometers around, even attracting other still-alive contestants on the battlefield, but upon seeing the combatants, no one dared to approach.
They all stayed at least seven or eight hundred meters away to watch the battle.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!” Hoffman’s Sword Technique flowed like water, tilting onto Li Yuan’s Spear Technique defense circle time after time, but each time it was in vain.
Yet, he continued his fierce attacks.
Meanwhile, Li Yuan was fully defending, interpreting the core mystery of the Stellar Spear Technique, ‘Stellar Illumination,’ to its utmost extent.
As if he were a star himself!
He stood unshakable on the earth.
Gradually, Li Yuan felt a strange fluctuation.
“Stellar Illumination, Illumination!”
“The Meaning of the Stellar, like faint rays of light that blossom, when the glow congregates, it’s like the stars.” Li Yuan executed his Spear Technique time after time, clashing madly with Hoffman,
and such a fierce battle with a high-level opponent of the same rank was something Li Yuan hadn’t experienced in a long time.
Hoffman’s Sword Technique provoked thought after thought about past practices of Li Yuan’s Spear Technique.
“Starlight!”
“Brightness!” Li Yuan finally caught the fleeting inspiration in his heart, fully understanding the key to the third layer of the ‘Meaning of the Stellar’: ‘Galactic Convergence.’
Suddenly,
“Boom!” The Long Spear in Li Yuan’s hand suddenly transformed, the Spear Light flickered, becoming even more dazzling, like streaks of galaxies crossing the sky, from one wisp of starlight to the next.
The Meaning of the Stellar—Galaxy!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The terrible Spear Technique burst forth, one thrust after another, like a reversing galaxy, with boundless might, instantly switching from defense to offense, fiercely assaulting Hoffman.
“Clang!”
The first clash changed Hoffman’s expression; he could clearly feel that Li Yuan’s Spear Technique had changed, become faster, and contained greater might… This was a clear Transformation.
Followed by the second thrust, the third, the fourth… The terrifying might within the Spear Technique completely crushed him.
The two were no longer on the same level.
“Retreat!”
“Escape!” The thought flashed through Hoffman’s mind as he tried to flee far away.
He had already abandoned the idea of killing Li Yuan.

Boom!
But as he retreated, Li Yuan’s Burst Speed was even faster, his figure darting forward, speed soaring past 80 meters per second, as the Long Spear whooshed in for another Straight Thrust.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! After several lightning-fast collisions,
“Rip!” A thrust passed by, Hoffman’s arm was blown off, blood splattered.
Whoosh~
Another thrust came like lightning.
“Pfft!”
The spear tip directly passed through Hoffman’s neck, gone in a flash before blood even had time to flow.
Phew!
Li Yuan had already darted dozens of meters away, stopping briefly before directly heading into the distance.
The outcome was decided!
Meanwhile, Hoffman tried to grasp his own neck, but blood spilled, his mouth opened, but no sound came out.
Clang~ Clang~ The last knife fell to the ground.
Thump~
Hoffman’s body fell heavily to the ground!
This battle ended with Li Yuan’s victory, and also announced the birth of the strongest in the Seventh Star Realm.
…
“A spear as grand as the galaxy!”
“This! This is unbelievable!”
“He’s just a freshman, right? And probably only eighteen and a half years old? His Spear Technique has already reached this level?”
“Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage!! A freshman has achieved this level?” Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors and thousands of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists from around the globe in that higher-level Spectator Space were astonished.
