“Champion!”
“Big brother, seize the first place.” The students of Kunlun Martial University were even more excited; this thrilling duel made them truly see the possibility of Li Yuan winning the championship.
Compared to Jin Huguo’s “stumbling,” Li Yuan was indeed overpowering and invincible, sweeping through the melee to the top twenty, and then to the top ten, all the way.
This feeling of domineering and powerful progression in the Blue Star competition was something all students of Kunlun Martial University had never experienced before.
…
“Li Yuan.”
“Once he bursts forth, his attack is so terrifying, but what about defense? The Meaning of the Stellar is best known for defense.”
“Bai Chuanming definitely did not force him into his strongest defensive state.” Yin Man, Nevsky, Harmon, and other martial arts geniuses aspiring for first place felt the pressure and silently considered what to do if they faced Li Yuan.
…
In a higher Spectator Space.
“His progress is really too fast.”
“Does he look like someone who just broke through to the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage a week ago? It’s more like he has been at it for a year.”
“His Spear Technique operates at will, his spear art has reached the Subtlety realm.”
“Looking at his information, at the beginning of last October, he had just entered Subtlety? And he reached the Intermediate Rank of the Fifth Stage during this melee? With such a performance now?”
“Amazing!”
“Truly monstrous, no wonder the Star Master values him so much.” The hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors who came to watch the battle were initially not very familiar with Li Yuan.
But after being ‘educated’ by other Flying Heaven Warriors and looking up some information on Li Yuan, they were one after another shocked.
“Star Master.”
“In terms of talent, he is even more terrifying than Yu Jinghe, definitely one of the top geniuses in human history.”
“In the history of Xia Country, he could rank within the top three.” This nearly became a consensus among these Flying Heaven Warriors.
Perhaps, Li Yuan’s real strength was still very weak.
But the speed of his skill improvement was exaggerated to the extreme.
“The Star Master hasn’t arrived.”
“It seems the Star Master won’t come, but let’s still watch and see how far Li Yuan can go.”
“See if he can seize the championship.” Some Flying Heaven Warriors didn’t care about any new talents emerging; they were there for the Star Master.
This was also the mentality of most powerhouses: a genius? Let’s talk when they’re strong.
However, after seeing Li Yuan, many Flying Heaven Warriors changed their minds, became interested, and wanted to stay and watch a while longer.
After all.
Like the regular top ten in the virtual battles of the Blue Star competition, even if they grow, most eventually are about the same level as these Flying Heaven Warriors.
Li Yuan? Once he grows up, he is destined to become one of the most terrifying existences among the Flying Heaven Warriors.
Even a… Demigod!!
…
Amidst these exchanges among the Flying Heaven Warriors, the other four battles of the top ten warriors were successively held.
The second round’s second battle, Yin Man versus Raja.
This battle, with Yin Man still wielding just one sword, nevertheless bulldozed over Tianzhu Country’s supreme talent ‘Raja.’
After trading over a hundred moves.
A flash of swordlight swept across Raja’s head, accompanied by a splash of fresh blood, ending the battle.
“Yin Man!”
“The second name in the top five still belongs to our Xia Country.” The Xia Country spectators grew increasingly excited.
The participants from Xia Country won both of the first two matches.
“It seems that Raja is really no match for this woman from Xia Country.”
“Raja is done for.” Nearly a million spectators from Tianzhu Country were somewhat disappointed.
No matter how confident they were, facing such an overwhelming victory, they could no longer claim Raja lost due to carelessness.
After all, Yin Man had only drawn one sword.
“Won.”
“Top five.” But not a trace of a smile could be seen on Yin Man’s face; her mind was locked onto one goal: “First place! Take down the first place!”
Li Yuan was very powerful.
But Yin Man still had ample confidence in her own strength.
…
The third match, Nevsky against Jin Huguo.
Anyone who had made it into the top ten had defeated at least one Fifth Stage master; Jin Huguo’s strength was beyond question.
However, facing the powerful Nevsky, Jin Huguo still lost the fight without question.
One axe blow followed another, his speed in no way inferior to Jin Huguo’s Sword Technique.
But the explosive strength was even more terrifying.
In the end, in a head-on battle, Jin Huguo withstood eighteen axe strikes before dying in battle.
“Lost.”
“Lost in a head-to-head clash.” Jin Huguo accepted his defeat wholeheartedly: “Even if I hadn’t fought Nevsky, in the end, I couldn’t have won against brother Li Yuan or Yin Man… I ultimately wouldn’t make it into the top three.”
“Top ten, top five, it doesn’t make much difference.”
“Top ten, that’s good enough.” Jin Huguo returned to the Spectator Platform with a smile on his face.
What welcomed him was cheering from tens of thousands of Kunlun Martial University students.
Making it into the top ten in the virtual battle was enough to leave one’s name in the annals of Kunlun Martial University’s history.
Even without Li Yuan, just with Jin Huguo’s performance alone, it was enough to dramatically boost Kunlun Martial University’s prestige in Xia Country once again.
“Brother Li Yuan.”
“It’s up to you now.” Jin Huguo looked over at Li Yuan, who still remained in the ‘waiting area’ of the arena.
…
The fourth match, Harmon versus Dantai Feng.
This was also a highly anticipated fight, as Dantai Feng, being a first-year student, had a great reputation, and even Li Yuan couldn’t overshadow his radiance.
As for Harmon? He was the only remaining super expert from the United States.
The two quickly erupted into a clash.
Dantai Feng used a sword and shield combo, whereas Harmon wielded a pure heavy saber, somewhat similar to Tian Dazhuang.
For the first dozens of strikes, Dantai Feng was able to resist using his Shield Technique, but Harmon also took note of this.
“If I gave you another year, I definitely wouldn’t be your match.” Harmon revealed a grin, “But this year’s protagonist is not destined to be you.”
“However, you are worthy of experiencing my utmost strength.”‘
Whoosh!
Harmon fully erupted, his Combat Saber suddenly bursting forth, its blade light streaking across the Vast Sky like lightning, cleaving towards Dantai Feng.
