Chapter 133: The Focus of All Attention (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Virtual network.

The Ten-School Freshman Battle is held on the Starry Sky Fighting Network. After entering the second round, a special battle space was opened to allow observers from all schools to enter and watch.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Li Yuan enters the Starry Sky Fighting Network. Because his identity was already registered, he can directly enter the 'Ten-School Freshman Battle Space'.

Whoosh!

A flash of light passes before his eyes, and Li Yuan finds himself in a super-large arena space.

In the center is a circular melee arena with a diameter of over 200 meters.

All around are dense crowds of observers, which can be called a sea of people. Looking around, it is probably over 100,000.

Li Yuan is sitting in the observation area very close to the arena.

"Brother Yuan, you finally came." Gu Qianghan is sitting in front, laughing excitedly: "The competition is about to start, and you, a seeded player, didn't come early."

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother." The people sitting around densely are all freshmen from the Sixth Academy.

Further away? Li Yuan scans, and finds many familiar figures; they are freshmen from other academies.

There are many people.

"Li Yuan, work hard." A shout suddenly comes from behind Li Yuan.

Li Yuan turns to look and can't help but show a smile. The one shouting is Senior Sister Qiu Jing.

She is gathered with many sophomore students.

"Why are there so many people?" Li Yuan turns back and sits down, can't help but ask.

"Big Brother, didn't you watch the battle yesterday?" An Nong on the side smiles.

Li Yuan shakes his head.

With a super expert like Dantai Feng, it is extremely difficult to take first place, so he dare not relax.

Yesterday, he was still devoting himself to cultivation.

"Only students from our ten schools participate, plus a few wildcard students." Gu Qianghan explains: "But those watching, in addition to students from our ten schools, students from the three top martial arts universities also have observation permissions."

Li Yuan understands instantly.

No wonder Lin Lanyue said the night before last that she would come to watch when he rushed into the finals.

"In addition, participating countries, like the Xia Nation, Sakura Nation, ASEAN, Tianzhu Nation... will also allow students from ordinary martial arts universities in their respective countries to watch and learn." An Nong smiles: "Like students from the twenty-nine ordinary martial arts universities in our country, they can come to watch."

"Only freshmen participate, but sophomore to senior students can also watch."

"Therefore."

"The theoretical number of observers can fully exceed 3 million." An Nong sighs: "Of course, it's just theoretical. Junior students and above basically won't pay attention."

"The main ones watching are freshmen plus a few sophomores."

"But just yesterday, the peak number of observers exceeded 200,000."

"Today is cage melee, which is more exciting. According to data from previous years, it shouldn't be difficult for the number of observers to exceed 500,000." An Nong smiles.

Li Yuan nods slightly, his gaze scanning further away in the observation area, where more 'observation seats' seem to be appearing.

500,000 people watching? Terrifying!

You must know that this kind of virtual observation is not watching in front of a screen, but truly simulating 'arena observation'. Every time one more person comes, one more observation seat will be added.

Fortunately, this is a virtual network, and it is very easy to build a virtual battle platform.

If it were in reality, it would be impossible to find a competition venue that could accommodate a million spectators.

"Cage melee, ten matches in the morning, ten matches in the afternoon." Gu Qianghan can't help but say: "Brother Yuan, which match are you in?"

"3 and 17." Li Yuan smiles.

After the first round ended yesterday, all students who entered the second round received the battle order.

"I am in the 6th and 12th match." An Nong on the side says helplessly.

"Being able to enter the second round is not bad." Li Yuan smiles: "Better than Gu Qiang."

"Damn! Brother Yuan, don't be like that. My first round ranking was three thousand something, and I was just a little bit away from entering the second round." Gu Qianghan can't help but say.

A group of people nearby laughed.

Li Yuan also laughed.

"Our Sixth Academy has 67 people who entered the second round, ranking second in the eight academies." An Nong introduces to Li Yuan: "The whole school has a total of 453 people who entered the second round, ranking first among the ten schools."

"Hmm." Li Yuan nods slightly.

Looking at the world, Kunlun Martial University is considered a martial arts university second only to the three top martial arts universities.

Considered top five.

Of course, the gap between this global top five martial arts university and the global top three is a bit huge.

Time passes.

As the time for the official match gets closer, the number of observers is increasing, and when the time reaches 8:30, the number of observers has exceeded 400,000, constantly advancing towards 500,000.

400,000 people gathered in an observation arena? What is this concept?

It is truly dense with heads, and the atmosphere of the entire battle space is extremely enthusiastic.

Students from major martial arts universities are discussing fiercely.

Finally, 8:30 AM.

Although the time zones of various countries are slightly different, because they are not far apart in reality, the impact is not very large.

Whoosh!

A huge colorful light flashes across the sky of several hundred meters, and then, on the observation platform, huge light screens appear, all aimed at every part of the central arena.

Allowing observers sitting anywhere in the battle arena to see everything on the arena clearly.

Even, in front of each observer, there is an 'observation light screen' that can be adjusted manually.

Each audience member, in addition to watching through the observation light screen, can also send 'bullet comments' in real time.

"Welcome students from major prestigious martial arts schools." A low voice sounds.

A burly man wearing a black robe appears on the arena, with the character 'Martial' carved on his chest.

His voice also spreads throughout the entire battle space.

"Today is the second round of our Ten-School Freshman Battle, and also the most exciting 'cage melee'." The burly man's voice is high-pitched: "1997 elite students from the ten prestigious schools, together with three martial arts geniuses from Starfire University, will compete for 136 elimination tournament spots."

"The rules are as follows:"

"Okay, the participants just need to know the above rules." The burly man host smiles: "Our audience here just needs to know one thing."

"Cage melee, the winner lives alone!"

"This is the cruelest duel, this is the most iron-blooded test." The burly man's voice is passionate: "Only the strongest can live to the end."

"Now, I announce that the second round of the Ten-School Freshman Battle 'cage melee' officially begins."

Boom! Music resounds through the sky.

The observation space with more than 500,000 observers also erupts with thunderous shouts in an instant, deafening.

"So enthusiastic." Li Yuan can't help but sigh. It is his first time feeling so many people watching.

"When people exceed ten thousand, it's a sea of people." Gu Qianghan smiles: "Brother Yuan, you have to know that most of these observers come from students of various ordinary martial arts universities. They are basically watching the fun, and they will be happy as long as students from their own country win."

Li Yuan nods involuntarily.

Observers have positions. Those from the school hope that people from their school win.

But like students from Jiangbei Martial University coming to watch? As long as Xia Nation people win, they will support them.

Gradually, the shouts decrease.

"First match." The burly man's voice erupts suddenly, like a thunderclap: "Preparation begins."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Some students who were originally watching on the arena have already disappeared instantly and entered the 'preparation space'.

Of course, 200 students disappearing is insignificant to an observation arena with more than 500,000 people.

Only 15 seconds later.

Whoosh! 200 participants holding weapons and armor appear on the arena at the same time, all standing on the edge of the arena, presenting a huge circle.

At the same time, on the huge light screen above the arena, the names of 200 people appear.

As well as the 'total points ranking'.

The top 8 and top 136 in total points are marked with special colors.

Top 8 in total points, directly enter the fourth round.

Top 136 in total points, can enter the third round.

All participants appear instantly.

Suddenly, shouts of encouragement rise one after another on the arena, coming from various schools, like waves.

"Yang Hong!"

"Yang Hong! Work hard!" Some students from Kunlun Martial University erupt with shouts.

In the first match, Kunlun Martial University has dozens of students on the field, but the strongest is Yang Hong.

However, there is no separate introduction segment for players.

Therefore, the shouts for any single student are not particularly high, and countless sounds echo over the observation platform, quite noisy.

"Garava." Li Yuan scans and sees that inconspicuous figure.

Dark skin, height over 1.7 meters, ordinary face, very inconspicuous.

Holding a long spear.

"Yang Hong is in trouble."

"Not good." It is not just Li Yuan who discovered Garava; many elite students from Kunlun Martial University also recognized him.

Yang Hong himself also discovered it.

On the arena, the ten-second countdown ends quickly.

"Start." The burly man roars, then flies into the high sky, not affecting the participants' battle.

At the same time, 200 participants feel the shackles on their bodies released at the same time.

"Boom!" The cage melee erupts in an instant.

It is as if there is a tacit understanding, whoosh! Whoosh! More than a dozen participants beside Garava are like streaks of afterimages, rushing directly to the distance.

Like a tiger entering a flock of wolves, no one dares to take the initiative to fight Garava.

Students who can enter the second round are no fools.

For the top few experts, most people are aware of them.

Boom!

That dark-skinned young man seems to have expected it, his figure like lightning, instantly rushing to the place with the most people.

"Puff!" "Puff!" The spear shadows change, and in an instant, one expert after another falls to the ground.

"Avoiding battle?"

"My goal is to directly get the first place in points in the second round." Garava thinks very thoroughly, his eyes calm: "The experts from the Xia Nation are not here, no one will be my opponent."

"Slaughter them all!"

Siege? Hundreds of people joining forces might be swept away by him alone.

Fierce melee.

And Garava's score rises rapidly, directly soaring to 'Total Points First Place', and far leaving the second place behind.

"Garava!"

"Garava!" This scene makes the more than 100,000 students from the Tianzhu Nation watching completely boil, erupting with unprecedented shouts, instantly suppressing all sounds on the observation platform.

Garava's performance is too strong.

At the same time, on the observation light screen, it has also been swiped by countless Tianzhu students.

"Tianzhu is the strongest!"

"Garava is the strongest!"

"We Tianzhu are the first! Defeat the Xia Nation people! Take first place!"

"Garava!" Countless comments roll, obviously the Tianzhu students are extremely excited at this moment.

In the first match, Garava undoubtedly lived to the end.

The fiercest battle took place between him and Yang Hong.

However, the so-called fiercest battle did not exceed ten moves, and Yang Hong was killed.

In the end, Garava got 52 points! Temporarily ranked first in total points!

Yang Hong got 14 points, temporarily ranked second in total points.

The scores of most participants are 0.

The second match, there is no expert who can completely crush others. The most dazzling is 'Kimura Tatsuo' from the Sakura Nation, who also uses a long spear.

In the end, he got 31 points, temporarily ranked second in total points.

The observation platform accommodating hundreds of thousands of people instantly rang with cheers from tens of thousands of students from the Sakura Nation.

"Kimura-kun!"

"Kimura is too powerful, I think he is not weaker than Garava in the first match at all, maybe he is the strongest."

"The strongest Kimura."

"Kimura-kun will definitely be able to take the final first place." Countless comments roll on the observation light screen.

The third match, accompanied by the 'Start' of the burly man host.

200 participants have already appeared on the arena from the preparation space.

Immediately, hundreds of thousands of audience members looked over.

"Big Brother."

"Where is Li Yuan?"

"Huh? Why don't I see Big Brother!" Thousands of students from Kunlun Martial University are looking for Li Yuan's figure.

But for a while, they couldn't find him.

"Damn! Big Brother is wearing a mask, is he afraid of being recognized? Big Brother is so insidious."

"It's not just Li Yuan who is wearing one, others in the school are also wearing them."

"This seems to be An Nong's idea just now, urgently contacting other people from the academy participating in the third match."

"Without name reminders, and more than a dozen people wearing masks, people from other schools can't recognize Big Brother at all in a short time."

"An Nong 666!"

"The battle has begun."
