Chapter 142

The hundreds of thousands of spectators on the spectator stands, limited by their eyesight, could not see Tantai Feng's instantaneous explosion just now.

They only felt that Tantai Feng's strength was powerful, as even Vikram was killed by him within ten blade strikes.

But in the higher-level spectator space, the Source Martial Artist teachers from various schools could analyze the mystery from Tantai Feng's sudden explosion.

"Virtual duel, physical fitness is the same, Vikram is also Fourth-Stage High-Tier; logically, even if Tantai Feng has an advantage, it shouldn't be such a crushing defeat."

"There is only one possibility! Mind Micro-Perception! An extreme excavation of the body's most minute force."

"Making his instantaneous explosive speed and power no less than a Level 12 martial artist."

"Mind Micro-Perception."

"And his blade, terrifyingly fast; that kind of ultimate light is definitely Flowing Light Intent." Many teachers exchanged views and quickly reached a conclusion.

"Incredible!"

"He's only a freshman, in October."

"Xia Nation number one? No! Global number one." These teachers were all sighing in shock.

Mind Micro-Perception, if placed on a 20-something-year-old senior, could be called a 'martial arts genius', but looking globally, there is a large group of them.

But placed on a freshman who had just entered university for a few months? It was too rare.

Among all martial arts universities globally, among freshmen, this is likely the only case.

You have to know, it's only October now.

Since the freshmen enrolled, only three months have passed.

"Just a freshman, his physical fitness definitely isn't high, and his mental power can't be that strong either." Dean Liu of East Sea Martial University couldn't help but say: "And he can already achieve Mind Micro-Perception? Even if he can't break through in the short term, by the time he becomes a Source Martial Artist in his junior year, he will definitely be able to enter the Fifth-Stage skill realm."

"Hmm, the Fifth-Stage threshold definitely won't be able to stop him."

"Truly a genius." Many teachers couldn't help but nod in emotion.

For skill to go from Fourth-Stage Perfection to Fifth-Stage is extremely difficult!

Even in Starfire University, Starry Sky University, and Black Stone University, there are very few students with Fifth-Stage skill.

Ordinary martial arts universities? It's hard to have even one among all the students.

But at this moment, almost all teachers concluded that Tantai Feng would enter the Fifth-Stage during his university years.

Why? Foundation!

Weak physical fitness, insufficient mental power, lack of experience, etc., will all lead to much poorer comprehension.

Especially mental power.

Whether it is Mind Micro-Perception or the higher-level 'Fifth-Stage Heavenly Human', the requirements for mental power are very high.

Normally, if mental power isn't strong enough, it's almost impossible to break through to the Fifth-Stage.

Then, a genius like Tantai Feng, who has already achieved Mind Micro-Perception, as long as he normally cultivates to become a Source Martial Artist, his foundation will be a large margin stronger than it is now.

With his comprehension, entering the Fifth-Stage is almost a certainty.

"Li Yuan can't win."

"It's not that Li Yuan isn't strong enough; it's that Tantai Feng is too monstrous." Teachers who originally favored Li Yuan now almost all unanimously concluded that Tantai Feng could win.

They couldn't imagine a possibility where Tantai Feng loses.

"What should we do?" Xu Yuanzhang looked at Li Yang, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes: "Should we notify Li Yuan?"

"No need."

Li Yang shook his head gently: "Consider it a honing for him."

"Since entering university, he has been advancing triumphantly; perhaps this is a very good opportunity to make him much more alert."

"Hmm."

Xu Yuanzhang also calmed down: "The rewards for champion and runner-up aren't much different; polishing his sharp edge isn't a bad thing."

"Vikram was defeated in one encounter?"

"Tantai Feng, has he become this strong?" The expressions of the palace fans and the white youth 'Salvatore' on the spectator stands also changed.

"Instant-killing Vikram, I can't do that." Salvatore's eyes narrowed slightly.

In terms of strength, he was previously vaguely the number one freshman at Starfire University.

But looking at it now, Tantai Feng is the strongest!

"Li Yuan, this is really troublesome." Tian Dazhuang frowned; he had also come to watch the battle.

Not just the three of them, the expressions of many top-tier geniuses from Starry Sky University and Black Stone University who came to watch also changed.

With the Fourth-Stage High-Tier realm and eye for detail of these top-tier geniuses.

Even if they couldn't judge it immediately, they could feel Tantai Feng's terror.

... "Sister, you said he has already realized Flowing Light Intent? Mind Micro-Perception?" Wu Dongdong opened her small mouth, unable to believe it.

She couldn't see it at all.

"I can't be completely sure, but judging from the results, Vikram would never be careless facing Tantai Feng, yet he was still instant-killed... 90% probability." Lin Lanyue shook her head gently.

"Then isn't Li Yuan doomed to lose?" Wu Dongdong couldn't help but say.

"Winning or losing doesn't matter anymore." Lin Lanyue smiled.

Wu Dongdong was stunned; winning or losing doesn't matter? Then what matters?

"What matters is seeing how much Li Yuan can harvest."

"It's just a virtual battle."

Tantai Feng had already been teleported off the arena.

"Mind Micro-Perception?" But in Li Yuan's mind, the blade strike that had suddenly exploded just now still echoed.

Li Yuan had watched the video Lin Lanyue sent dozens of times and clearly remembered the scene where that expert displayed Flowing Light Intent.

Blade like flowing light!

Brilliant like a river!

It was truly similar to the blade light Tantai Feng had just displayed.

The opponent's strength had already reached a terrifying extreme.

Far exceeding what Li Yuan had previously anticipated.

"The probability of me winning..." Li Yuan suddenly revealed a smile: "That's fine, then let's have a battle without any burden."

Li Yuan's mindset was excellent.

If he had been worried about gains and losses before, then now, after recognizing reality, he had become calm instead.

"What's next."

"Is the final of this 'Ten-School Freshman Tournament', which will decide the final champion and runner-up." The burly host's voice was passionate: "Their strength, if placed in the previous ten Ten-School Freshman Tournaments, would have had a very high probability of taking the championship."

"But today, they are destined for only one person to stand on the arena."

"Let's welcome—Tantai Feng! Li Yuan!"

Swish! Swish!

Tantai Feng and Li Yuan had already chosen their weapons and then teleported from the preparation area onto the arena, standing fifty meters apart in a standoff.

The ten-second countdown began.

"You're using a blade and shield? Why not continue using dual blades?" Li Yuan looked at the weapon Tantai Feng was holding.

One hand holding a blade, the other holding a shield. You have to know, his previous opponents were all solved by Tantai Feng directly using dual blades.

This was the first conversation between Li Yuan and Tantai Feng since the Ten-School Freshman Tournament began.

The conversation could only be heard by the two parties.

"Dual blades have a stronger attack, but the defense is much weaker." Tantai Feng rarely smiled and said: "Your defense is very strong, and I can see that you are very, very close to Mind Micro-Perception."

"Using dual blades is cooler, but there's a 1% probability that I won't be able to break through your defense, and once I can't break through, it'll be troublesome..." Tantai Feng said indifferently: "Pretending to be cool, the thing I fear most is stumbling at the end."

"As the challenger, if you lose, it's not shameful."

"If I lose, it'll be a huge loss of face."

"Using a blade and shield."

"You don't have a glimmer of hope of winning." Tantai Feng smiled: "Although it's not as cool, at least I won't lose face; when I pretend to be cool, I only pretend to be cool when I have absolute certainty."

Li Yuan laughed in spite of himself, but he had to admit that this Tantai Feng had a lot of character.

Seemingly liking to be in the limelight, but deep down, he exuded the word 'steady'.

!.

Too cautious.

Clearly his skill far exceeded his own, yet he even brought a shield at the end.

"Fine." Li Yuan nodded and smiled: "Then let me experience just how strong our Xia Nation number one of this generation is."

"Wrong!"

Tantai Feng shook his head gently, his head raised slightly: "I am not the Xia Nation number one of this generation."

"But—the global number one of this generation!"

After saying that.

Tantai Feng adjusted his stance slightly, quietly looking at Li Yuan with great poise.

One second, two seconds... the countdown to the start of the battle had long since ended.

The spectator stands were already boiling; all the spectators were staring at the two people on the arena, watching their final decisive battle.

"Why aren't you attacking?" Tantai Feng finally couldn't hold back.

"I'm waiting for you."

Li Yuan also set up his defensive spear stance and shook his head: "If I take the initiative to attack you, wouldn't that be seeking death?"

Tantai Feng was stunned; he had met his match.

In Tantai Feng's view, whoever strikes first represents who is weaker.

But he only hesitated for a second.

"If I keep waiting, others will think I'm afraid of Li Yuan, which will damage my image as an expert even more." Tantai Feng finally moved.

Boom! He darted dozens of meters in a flash, charging at Li Yuan like lightning.

"Kill!" Li Yuan gripped his long spear, staring fixedly at Tantai Feng, and thrust his spear out violently.

The decisive battle erupted.

... When they saw the battle finally erupt.

"Li Yuan!"

"Tantai Feng!!"

"Go!" On the spectator stands, nearly 800,000 spectators were completely boiling, cheering excitedly and incredibly passionately, their voices high-pitched.

Especially the hundreds of thousands of Xia Nation spectators; for them, it didn't make much difference who won or lost, what mattered was that the duel was exciting enough.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Tantai Feng held his blade with one hand, the blade light sharp and continuous, slashing at Li Yuan again and again.

"Clang!"

"Bang~ Bang~" The spear shadows of the long spear in Li Yuan's hand changed, doing his utmost to mobilize all the strength in his body.

While blocking the attacks of the blade light, he dodged and retreated violently, not letting Tantai Feng get close.

By common sense, in a duel between a spear and a blade, the long spear usually takes the initiative to attack and occupies an absolute advantage.

One inch longer, one inch stronger.

But after truly engaging, Li Yuan discovered that Tantai Feng's blade light was truly too fast, fast enough to make his scalp tingle.

Most importantly, Tantai Feng's blade light seemed to have anticipated all of Li Yuan's moves, easily blocking all of Li Yuan's counterattacks.

Li Yuan was completely suppressed.

"Mind Micro-Perception, force like silk." Li Yuan knew very well that this wasn't Tantai Feng truly being able to predict.

It was purely that his realm was higher, his speed and power were faster, and every blade strike could achieve striking after the opponent.

"Clang~"

Another collision between blade and spear, and Li Yuan was forced to retreat again.

"Can't block it! I'm indeed no match for him." Li Yuan had completely given up attacking; he sensed the terror of the blade like flowing light.

A single blade forced him to defend with all his might.

Even, from beginning to end, Tantai Feng hadn't even used the shield in his left hand.

"If Tantai Feng had used dual blades in this match, I'm afraid I would have already lost." Li Yuan gritted his teeth, staring fixedly at the terrifying blade lights slashing over one after another.

Li Yuan understood that the outcome of today didn't have much meaning anymore; the opponent's realm was a large margin stronger than his own.

If Tantai Feng had purely sought to defeat him, in the dozens of moves they had just exchanged, he would have already lost.

Then, let's treat it as a honing.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! The two sides fought like lightning, but for some reason, Tantai Feng kept suppressing Li Yuan without completely erupting.

It was as if he was consciously suppressing and honing Li Yuan.

Gradually.

Li Yuan, who had only been a little bit away from breaking through, found that in his mind, the scene of the two experts fighting in Lin Lanyue's video appeared involuntarily.

"Tip arcs light, spear shaft like a path."

"Stars vast." Li Yuan was completely immersed in this battle; he was enjoying the battle, and unknowingly, the spear technique he displayed underwent some special changes.

"That's it." Li Yuan vaguely finally grasped that glimmer of opportunity.

That indescribable intent.

At this moment, Li Yuan's mind completely sensed every corner of his body, sensing every bit of force hidden in the most minute parts of his body.

"Boom!" Li Yuan only felt that the strength in his whole body was completely excavated, countless minute forces integrated into one, and his speed and power began to continuously improve, continuously surpassing the past.

The power he erupted with became stronger and stronger.

The speed of the long spear in his hand became faster and faster.

"Mind Micro-Perception! Spear like stars." Li Yuan had already realized in his heart; the spear technique in his hand had completely changed, and the Five Star Styles were displayed, already having a completely different charm.

"Clang!"

"Clang!" "Clang!" Li Yuan, who had previously been blocking extremely difficultly, was actually gradually able to truly block Tantai Feng's blade technique.

"Really broke through? Broke through in battle?" Tantai Feng's eyes brightened slightly: "Interesting!"
