Chapter 20

"Congratulations on winning the duel, Defender·Source, your account received 2,000 Blue Star coins, can be transferred..." Li Yuan had already received the reminder from the Starry Sky Fighting Network.

The bet was agreed upon before the match, and Lin Luanyue had transferred the funds in advance.

Therefore, as soon as he won, the money was in Li Yuan’s name.

"Combat close to actual combat, no need to worry about damage, it’s really more enjoyable than bitter cultivation in reality." Li Yuan grinned: "It’s a pity, it’s not 100% realism after all, not that exciting."

In this era, why do martial arts masters emerge one after another?

The virtual network plays an irreplaceable role.

Like the Starry Sky Fighting Network, although it has many flaws, such as being unable to fully simulate real moves, a small amount of data will be distorted.

Also, it cannot scan everyone’s real body data, the data of the consciousness body and the real body have a gap, and cannot achieve 100% fit.

But!

Through consciousness connection, participants can still engage in a large number of battles and moves that are difficult to experiment with continuously in reality.

In real actual combat, one mistake means death or injury.

How many actual combats could martial artists of the past experience in a lifetime? Most of them were independent practice; it was good enough to have a few sparring partners.

But in this era, every martial artist, before engaging in actual combat with star realm creatures, can experience thousands of virtual battles, not only will the cultivation efficiency increase tenfold or hundredfold.

It can also exercise mentality, courage, and skills.

Like the battle between Li Yuan and Lin Luanyue, both sides had reached 16 years old, so the blood, severed limbs, etc., in the battle were realistically simulated.

It’s just that because they were minors, the pain was only 10%.

If it were an adult competition, the minimum pain would be 20%, and the maximum could be adjusted to a staggering 80%, infinitely close to a life-and-death battle.

"Starry Sky Fighting Network."

"In essence, it is a real combat training camp for martial artists." Li Yuan sighed to himself.

The entire human civilization is now operating around "war."

...Li Yuan and Lin Luanyue fought very fiercely.

In less than a minute, the battle ended.

After all, the impact of any spear or sword they used was over a thousand kilograms; as long as they caught a slight flaw in the other party, it was basically a one-hit kill.

Before Li Yuan’s spear burst out, except for Teacher Xu Bo who saw the clues in advance, many students still felt that Lin Luanyue had the upper hand.

"Li Yuan has been retreating, long defense will lose! Can he hold on like this?" A boy asked suspiciously.

"You know nothing!" Zhou Qi sneered: "Brother Yuan is the strongest."

Zhou Qi didn't understand, but he knew Li Yuan had the highest martial arts skill score.

"Lin Luanyue’s attack is very fierce, Brother Yuan will lose if he has a slight omission." Wan Xiao’s eye for detail was stronger: "But Brother Yuan’s defense is impeccable... I feel Brother Yuan’s spear techniques are stronger than the last test."

"Who should I support to win?" Li Tianyou watched, feeling very contradictory in his heart.

Suddenly.

"Brother Yuan is awesome!" Zhou Qi, wearing leather pants, jumped up suddenly, waving his fists frantically, extremely excited: "Won!"

"This?"

"Spear burst? Luanyue lost?" Li Tianyou widened his eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief.

"Holy crap!"

"Too ruthless, how can you stab the chest?"

"Sister actually lost?" Gu Qianghan held his breath: "This Li Yuan, really doesn't show any mercy."

"So fast, Li Yuan is so fierce." A burst of exclamations on the spectator stand, these students were all amazed.

They had thought that even if Li Yuan won by defensive counterattack, he would have to fight for dozens more moves.

How could they have imagined that when Lin Luanyue’s offensive reached its peak, there would be a sudden reversal.

Straight thrust burst out.

Lin Luanyue’s body was pierced, even the armor was pierced, showing how domineering this spear was.

Fierce to the extreme.

"Li Yuan won!"

"So what if it’s the elite class? Still got beaten down!"

"Brother Yuan, skill number one." The students of Class 2, Third Year were all quite excited, feeling honored.

So what if it’s the elite class? So what if you awakened martial arts spirituality?

Counterattack, stabbing the so-called proud son of heaven under the horse, this is the blood and tradition engraved in the bones of the Xia Kingdom people.

It is also the story that people love to hear most.

"This Li Yuan, doesn't show any mercy to the fair sex at all, that’s Lin Luanyue!" A few boys were quite indignant.

"Are you kidding?"

"SB!"

"Idiot, life-and-death combat, and you want others to show mercy? Not enough of a lick-dog?"

"In heat at this time?"

"If you have the ability, go and fight Li Yuan."

"If you like someone, you should respect her." It attracted more students' refutation: "Fighting with star realm creatures, if you meet a beautiful one, do you also have to show mercy?"

Most boys came here to support Lin Luanyue.

But they basically didn't think Li Yuan’s actions were ruthless, at most they felt Li Yuan was fierce and domineering.

When Li Yuan won, they would also cheer.

Combat should be done with all one’s strength; carelessness and underestimating the enemy is being irresponsible to oneself.

The purpose of combat is victory!

This is the first lesson all students receive when taking martial arts classes.

"The greatest respect for the enemy is to kill the other party with all your strength; only those who win and survive are qualified to talk about spirit and honor." This is the famous quote of the world’s second powerhouse, "Lant."

At this time.

The system broadcast had already echoed over the duel ring: "The glorious moment has arrived, victory belongs to 'Defender·Source', his long spear is like an insurmountable barrier, successfully defending his honor and becoming the final winner."

"The duel space is about to close, 60, 59..." Text appeared on the screen above the ring.

Many people quickly began to leave.

Whoosh! Lin Luanyue, who had just been eliminated, reappeared on the ring, but she wasn't wearing battle armor.

She had returned to her original attire.

The injury on Li Yuan’s shoulder had also recovered, and the weapons and armor had disappeared.

In a non-combat state and non-combat space, it is impossible to hurt others.

"Lin Luanyue, I concede." Li Yuan laughed.

Lin Luanyue frowned slightly and said: "Your spear techniques are indeed powerful, I am not as good as you."

Ten seconds after the battle ended.

Lin Luanyue reviewed it for the first time and understood that Li Yuan’s skill level was indeed higher.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to attack with dozens of swords and be blocked by the other party with ease, and finally be killed by the other party with one spear counterattack.

It only shows that there is indeed a gap between them.

"But there is one thing, I hope you explain it clearly to other classmates." Lin Luanyue stared at Li Yuan.

"Explain?" Li Yuan was stunned, instantly thinking of the hostility the other party had initially revealed.

"Are you talking about what others said?" Li Yuan shook his head, just wanting to explain: "It has nothing to do with me, it’s them themselves..."

Bang!!

A figure rushed onto the ring.

"Brother Yuan, you won today, what should we do next?" Zhou Qi ran onto the ring excitedly.

Li Yuan was stunned: "..."

"It has nothing to do with you?" Lin Luanyue swept a glance at Li Yuan, then at Zhou Qi, frowning slightly, but didn't say anything more.

She left this virtual space directly.

"Huh? Why did Lin Luanyue leave?" Zhou Qi realized later: "Brother Yuan, did I ruin your atmosphere? Wasn't I just too excited?"

Li Yuan was silent for three seconds and said slowly: "Old Zhou, I want you to do one thing."

"What thing? Brother Yuan, just say it." Zhou Qi swore.

"Be my sparring partner."

"Fight me ten times." Li Yuan had a trace of a smile on his face: "Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable."

"Sparring partner?" Zhou Qi turned and was about to slip away.

..."So handsome!"

"Why didn't I notice it before at school?"

"I kind of want to make Li Yuan my third boyfriend, I’ll go ask him tomorrow at school."

"Let him to me, I only have one." A few girls were still discussing in low voices, seemingly worried about others hearing.

The 60-second countdown ended, and the combat space closed.

After sparring (slaughtering) with Zhou Qi and Wan Xiao for three rounds each, Li Yuan let them go.

Returned to the personal combat space.

Everything became quiet.

"Next, it’s time to charge points." Li Yuan’s consciousness moved, and a light screen appeared before his eyes:

Rank Match: Gold rank.

Points: 112 (1000 points required to participate in the promotion match)

Rank win rate: 52%

Historical total win rate: 57%

"According to regulations, minor players, as long as they reach Gold rank with 500 points, there is a 50,000 Blue Star coin reward." Li Yuan thought to himself: "If you can reach the Meteorite rank, you will be rewarded with 500,000 Blue Star coins."

"My birthday is in August, wanting to reach the Meteorite rank in the next year is too difficult."

"However, I have two major ultimate moves, charging to 500 points in Gold rank, there is still hope." Li Yuan reached out and clicked.

Rank match matching.

"Win one game, get 1-12 points, lose one game lose 1-12 points." Li Yuan recited silently: "If the opponent’s rank is higher than your own, you get more points for winning."

"If the opponent’s rank points are lower than your own, once you lose, the points will also be deducted sharply."

"I hope I can go up in one go today." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Drip—matching successful.

"About to enter the rank match, the opponent is Gold rank (322 points), please prepare for battle." The system issued a reminder.

"About to enter the combat space, countdown 10, 9..."
