Chapter 139

Inside the underground martial arts room.

Eight o'clock in the morning, Li Yuan had not yet entered the virtual network and was video chatting with Lin Lanyue.

"So early?" Li Yuan smiled: "You guys aren't participating, so classes shouldn't be suspended, right? No general education classes in the morning?"

Any martial arts university will have general education classes, teaching various knowledge about history and humanities, star realm alien races, technological weapons, etc.

"Did you practice the spear so much that you forgot the time? It's one o'clock in the afternoon here," Lin Lanyue smiled; she was wearing a white casual outfit today.

"Forgot." Li Yuan smiled and shook his head.

There is a time difference between Lantis Continent and Xia Nation.

"How is it? Any certainty of beating Tantai Feng?" Lin Lanyue smiled.

"The video you gave is very helpful," Li Yuan nodded and said: "However, according to my teacher's description of his strength... at most a 30% chance of winning."

"30%?" Lin Lanyue's eyes brightened slightly, and she smiled: "A 30% chance is already very high."

"You have to know, when we just started our third year of high school, at that time you had only been at the Third Stage of skill for a short time, and he was already at the Fourth Stage of skill."

"On the Blue Star Youth Ranking of our batch, he has always been far ahead and is the absolute first."

"In just one year, your skill level has almost caught up to his, which is already incredible," Lin Lanyue said.

"Still a bit short after all," Li Yuan smiled.

"Between a hair's breadth, victory or defeat can only be known after fighting; if you lose, no one will laugh at you, maybe you'll win? On the contrary, it's Tantai Feng who is under huge pressure," Lin Lanyue smiled: "Go online, the competition is about to start."

"Okay."

……

After hanging up the video with Lin Lanyue, Li Yuan's peripheral vision subconsciously scanned his Divine Palace panel.

【Life Layer: 13.9 (First Rank)】

Fist Strength: 7629 kg

Speed: 41.3 m/s

Spiritual Power: 23.0

Spiritual Awakening Degree: 25% (Current upper limit 25%, physical fitness is not strong enough, difficult to bear spiritual guidance)

Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fourth Stage 83%), Movement Technique (Fourth Stage 73%), Fist Technique (Fourth Stage 83%)

……

"Fourth Stage 83% spear technique."

"In two days, my spear technique has improved by a full 3%," Li Yuan thought secretly: "The mind's control over the whole body is becoming more and more exquisite, and I can already trigger some of the most subtle forces."

This rate of improvement in spear technique is terrifying.

"Star artistic conception, after the battle with Kimura Tatsuo, I have already figured out some fur; if I were given more time, my spear technique would definitely be stronger, but it's a pity there's no time left," Li Yuan thought silently in his heart.

"According to the teacher, he is only one line away from comprehending the flowing light artistic conception, and his skill level should be higher than mine."

"Let's fight."

"As long as he hasn't reached spiritual subtlety, I have hope of holding on," Li Yuan's eyes had light in them: "Hold on, and there is hope of victory."

Closing his eyes, Li Yuan stood in place for a full minute.

Making his heart completely calm.

Afterward, he logged into the virtual network directly and entered the Starry Sky Fighting Network.

…… Combat space.

Even though there were still twenty minutes before the start of the fourth round of duels, the viewing platform was already crowded with people, with hundreds of thousands gathered.

"Swish!" Li Yuan appeared out of thin air, and then he found that he did not appear on the viewing platform.

But in the 'preparation area' very close to the combat arena.

Single seat.

"Li Yuan!"

"Li Yuan is here."

"Li Yuan." Just seconds after Li Yuan appeared, bursts of cheers erupted from the viewing platform behind him.

If at the beginning of the second round, students from various martial arts universities in Xia Nation basically didn't know who Li Yuan was, then by the start of the fourth round, Li Yuan already had quite a reputation.

The vast majority of students publicly recognized that among the experts who rushed into the 'top sixteen' in Xia Nation this time, Tantai Feng was the strongest, followed by Li Yuan, Yu Ming, Guan Ying and the others.

"Senior Brother! Take the championship."

"Li Yuan, keep it up."

"First place!" The students of Kunlun Martial Arts University were the most excited; their viewing seats were exactly behind Li Yuan, not far away.

Li Yuan's gaze swept over, and he found many acquaintances, such as Qiu Jing, Gu Qianghan, Dong Haifeng and others, all sitting in the audience seats.

"Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan, you finally came." Two voices also sounded beside him.

"Yang Hong, Wu Luo? You both made it to the top sixteen?" Li Yuan looked at the two acquaintances sitting not far away with slight surprise.

Does that mean Kunlun Martial Arts University has three people who rushed into the top sixteen this time? This proportion is very high.

Yang Hong and Wu Luo were both stunned.

"No way, Li Yuan," Wu Luo couldn't help but say: "Are we that insignificant? We are at least top sixteen."

"My fault," Li Yuan smiled and explained: "From the end of the second round the day before yesterday until today, I have been practicing the spear; I really didn't pay attention to who made it into the top sixteen in yesterday's competition."

Li Yuan really didn't know.

Top sixteen? Are they very strong?

"Oh, I see," Wu Luo realized that Li Yuan was not targeting him, and couldn't help but smile: "Then let me introduce the others to you."

"That one is Li Jiao from Donghai Martial Arts University," Wu Luo smiled: "She specializes in..."

……

When Wu Luo, Li Yuan, and Yang Hong were chatting, other top sixteen participants appeared one after another.

At the same time.

In many areas of the viewing platform, some very quiet and low-key spectator students appeared.

"Gong Mi, you came too?" A burly white youth with a beard smiled; his pupils were blue, and he was very handsome.

"Salvatore, didn't you come too?" The black-clad youth smiled; his appearance was very ordinary.

Gong Mi!

Born in a small country in the East Alliance, but his talent was top-notch; in terms of skill alone, he was about the same as Tantai Feng.

The three of them are the three top geniuses publicly recognized in this batch of Starfire University.

……

"Sister, look, Scarlet is here," Wu Dongdong pointed to an inconspicuous black youth not far away.

"Mm."

Lin Lanyue nodded and smiled: "Tantai Feng participated in the ten-school freshman battle, and there are top experts like Li Yuan and Garava, which is almost a preview of the Global Martial Arts Competition in February next year, so naturally many people interested in watching the battle came."

……

The higher viewing space is the gathering place for teachers to watch the battle.

"Old Tie, you actually came?"

"I remember you didn't come to the ten-school freshman battle in previous years."

"This year's competition is unusual, so I came to take a look."

"That's true, the gold content this year is much higher." As the final day, the number of teachers from various schools who came to watch the battle today far exceeded the previous two days.

The number of people has exceeded four hundred.

You must know that every teacher is at least a high-level Source Martial Artist, and many are top-level Source Martial Artists.

Many teachers belong to different schools but have excellent private relationships and are hard to see each other even if they are thousands of miles apart on weekdays.

It can be said that today is a rare grand event, gathering so many powerful Source Martial Artists in one place.

……

Time passed.

Perhaps due to the fermentation and publicity of the previous two days.

As the competition time gradually approached, the number of spectators on the viewing platform quickly exceeded 600,000, gradually approaching 700,000, which is a new high for the number of spectators for the ten-school freshman battle.

After all, this is an internal competition, not a competition open to the general public.

Finally, the time reached 8:30.

"After three days of competition, our ten-school freshman battle has finally reached the final day," the burly host appeared above the combat arena, his voice passionate: "The number of spectators today has created a new historical high in ten years, reaching a staggering 640,000 people."

"I believe that today, sixteen martial arts geniuses from different schools will definitely present everyone with wonderful genius duels," the burly man's voice resounded throughout the entire combat space.

Accompanied by the music, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more high.

"Good!"

"First to start is today's first match of the 'top sixteen to top eight'," the burly man's voice was agitated: "The first one is 'Ono Satoshi' from the East Japan Martial Arts University."

Swish!

Holding dual sabers, the Sakura Nation youth, 1.7 meters tall with an ordinary face, appeared in the arena.

"Ono Satoshi!"

"Ono Satoshi." Nearly 100,000 Sakura Nation spectator students were cheering excitedly.

Ono Satoshi is another expert who emerged after Kimura Tatsuo in the Sakura Nation; he is strong and fought his way into the top sixteen in the third round yesterday.

"The other one is the martial arts genius from Starfire Martial Arts University—Tan! Tai! Feng!" The burly host's voice became more and more high-pitched, as if he had become excited.

"Tantai Feng!"

"Tantai Feng!"

"Tantai Feng!" The entire viewing platform instantly erupted with mountain-shaking shouts, the sound deafening, echoing in the viewing arena.

Not only the hundreds of thousands of Xia Nation spectators, but even spectators from other countries were shouting Tantai Feng's name.

No way!

Strength represents everything.

Tantai Feng's act of sweeping the cage melee with dual sabers and withdrawing in the second round, that kind of strength, confidence, and composure, easily attracts the worship of many students.

Whoosh!

Tantai Feng was also teleported to the arena; he also held dual sabers, glanced at Ono Satoshi sideways, and closed his eyes, as if he didn't care about Ono Satoshi at all.

"Baka," Ono Satoshi cursed in his heart: "Actually didn't even bring a shield, too contemptuous of me."

Most of those who can fight their way into the top sixteen are martial arts geniuses highly valued by their schools, and they naturally understand the strength and information of the opponents they are about to face.

…… Under the arena.

"So arrogant," Yang Hong couldn't help but say: "Li Yuan, Wu Luo, Tantai Feng's posture of looking at people sideways is a bit handsome."

"It's handsome, but it's quite hateful; I suggest not learning it," Li Yuan smiled.

He suddenly understood why Tian Dazhuang would be unhappy with Tantai Feng.

Watching the other party act cool and handsome every day, and being unable to beat him.

Anyone would be annoyed.

……

In the arena, accompanied by the end of the final ten-second countdown, Tantai Feng and Ono Satoshi had already instantly erupted into battle.

It was indeed instant.

Because!

Ono Satoshi rushed toward Tantai Feng at the first moment, and both sides used dual sabers.

But just one encounter.

Tantai Feng's dual sabers whistled, the blade lights of both sides collided only a few times, and a dazzling blade light suddenly lit up, having already swept across Ono Satoshi's head.

Dead!

Until defeating the opponent, Tantai Feng stood in the arena, still slightly raising his head, his face indifferent, appearing so composed.

"This time, it should be handsome enough," Tantai Feng muttered in his heart.

……

Seeing the battle scene, the entire viewing platform was quiet for a moment; lost in one encounter?

He is at least a top sixteen expert.

But it was only quiet for a moment.

But in just a few months, she has improved to the fourth-stage mid-tier?

Only the tens of thousands of Sakura Nation spectators looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

In fact, they knew that Ono Satoshi had a high probability of losing, but who would have thought he would lose so miserably?

……

"So strong!"

"Such a fast saber!" Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway.

The expressions of the dozen or so participants watching the battle at close range under the stage changed.

……

"Second battle," the burly host's eyes seemed to brighten, excitedly: "Let us invite 'Garava' from the Tianzhu Nation."

"And."

"The martial arts genius from Kunlun Martial Arts University of Xia Nation—Li! Yuan!"
