Chapter 22: Global Rank [4684]

In the rank matching mode, under continuous victories, Li Yuan would occasionally match with those Gold rank masters with over 500 points,

But in the end, it was a minority, most of the time, it was prioritizing those with close rank points.

"After creating 'Dragon Hidden in the Rock Ravine', my spear technique strength increased greatly, and dueling with Gold low-rank martial arts masters again, the win rate increased significantly." Li Yuan's spirit was a bit tired, but still full of fighting spirit.

His points soared all the way, until now.

"Ordinary adults, mental power is not strong enough, estimate they have to rest for a while after fighting six or seven matches, fighting at most twenty or thirty matches a day, otherwise it will hurt the spirit and affect reality practice." Li Yuan's eyes flashed with light: "And me, experiencing two hundred virtual battles in one day, can still maintain a peak state."

Over the past year, why has Li Yuan's martial arts skill soared?

Besides his aptitude in spear technique, it is inseparable from his constantly strengthening mental power.

The stronger the mental power, the stronger his control over his body during daily practice, and the faster his spear technique progress.

Similarly, it allows him to fight more matches in virtual network battles.

The virtual battles he experienced in one year are worth the virtual battle honing of many people for three or even five years.

In this way, how could Li Yuan's martial arts skill progress not be fast?

"The last battle, must win."

"50,000 coins, are mine." Li Yuan moved his consciousness and clicked the option box—start matching.

Beep—matching successful.

"About to enter the ranking match, opponent is Gold rank (499 points)... countdown 10, 9..."

In a live-stream room on the Starry Sky Fighting Network, the live-stream title is 'Martial Arts Top Graduate Road, Angry Rush Gold 500 Points'.

Inside the live-stream room, there is a girl in elf attire who is about seventeen or eighteen years old and... a middle-aged commentator.

"Brothers."

"Xiu'er is determined to be the martial arts top graduate of Nanming City, last time in the school martial arts test, her martial arts skill score exceeded 360 points... today trying to rush to Gold rank 500 points."

The girl shook her head from time to time, looking very cute, waiting for matching.

And the middle-aged commentator was very excited.

"Gold rank 500 points, let alone Nanming City, even in the entire Jiangbei Province, there are less than 50 people under 18 who can reach this rank... let's see if Xiu'er can succeed in her third attempt." The middle-aged commentator said quickly.

"Oh! Matching successful!"

"The opponent's points are 496 points, looks like another martial arts master rushing to Gold rank."

"Today's first two attempts, the opponents encountered all exceeded 600 points, this time the opponent only has 496 points... let us wait and see... 5, 4..." The middle-aged man was excited.

Gold rank martial arts anchors are as numerous as ox hair.

But minor anchors who can reach Gold rank are quite rare, and gimmicks like rushing to be the college entrance exam top graduate, elf girl, pretty... attract even more eyeballs.

This girl anchor named 'Xiu'er' has high popularity on the Starry Sky Fighting Network.

At this moment, the number of viewers has exceeded two thousand.

Of course, as a minor, she cannot live-stream alone, must be over 16, must be accompanied by a guardian, and there is a time limit for live-streaming every week... this is clearly stipulated by law.

"This time it should work."

"The opponent has 496 points, looks much weaker than the previous two opponents."

"Stab him to death."

"Xiu'er has fought over 30 matches today, today's win rate is 56.6%, very good, reward one."

"Watched Xiu'er's live stream for two years."

"Cultivation! Cultivate a martial arts top graduate, I'm waiting for the day Xiu'er becomes the martial arts top graduate."

"Definitely can win." A large number of text barrages, voice barrages, image barrages flashed by... and various rewards.

Suddenly.

Swish! The live-stream scene changed, a ring scene had already formed, and a boy holding a long spear appeared on the other side of the ring.

"Boy?"

"The opponent looks so young, maybe also a minor."

"Definitely an adult, this is just a virtual image, if he is also a minor, wouldn't he also be able to rush to be the college entrance exam top graduate?" The audience discussed.

On the duel ring.

"Hmm? So many people?" Li Yuan just stood on the ring and found that the originally empty spectator stand had many more spectators, dense and numerous.

Looking around, there were probably thousands of people.

"Anchor?"

"Seems to be a minor girl anchor?" Li Yuan heard some voices from the audience: "Try to see how strong she can be."

Normally Gold rank matching, even if you encounter an anchor, it's good to have over a hundred spectators.

A big anchor with thousands of people watching? It was the first time Li Yuan encountered one today.

Li Yuan didn't choose to shield the spectator stand sound or shield the audience outside the field... he didn't choose any of them.

"Xiu'er?" Li Yuan looked at the elf girl's name, vaguely having some impression, seemingly having brushed past live-stream videos.

But the impression wasn't deep, shouldn't be that kind of top anchor.

"Hello."

"This round, can you let me win?" The elf girl held a silver long spear, laughing, looking quite cute.

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

Swish!

The elf girl moved suddenly, level 8.0 physical fitness, making her speed extremely fast, rushing toward Li Yuan like lightning.

"Xiu'er started not talking about martial arts again."

"Stab him!"

"This kid must have been deceived too, guess he hasn't watched Xiu'er's live stream." A large number of voices emerged from the spectator stand.

"Pfft!" Silver long spear straight stab!

"Straight stab?"

Li Yuan didn't hesitate at all, left hand gripping the handle, right hand supporting the spear, also straight stabbing with the middle-flat style.

It was as if it were a move to die together.

But the long spear Li Yuan chose, the spear body was close to three meters, exceeding the other party by about half a meter... and Li Yuan's character model body was taller, arm span longer.

It was destined that Li Yuan's spear would stab the other party first.

One inch longer, one inch stronger.

"Boom~"

At the moment the spear tips crossed, the elf girl's silver spear suddenly shook, bursting out terrifying power trying to knock Li Yuan's long spear away... obviously she also sensed her own weapon disadvantage.

"Boom~"

Li Yuan, however, was as if he had known beforehand, also shaking the large spear, hard against hard.

Then, Li Yuan glanced sideways, his whole body moved and retreated violently, landing, unloading the impact of this force.

"Hu!" The violent spear wind whistled.

The elf girl's following spear missed, the spear tip only an inch away from Li Yuan's head.

"In continuous collisions, she can still maintain spear body stability, continuous attack... this should be a set of killing moves." Li Yuan avoided this spear and made a judgment: "Must be vigilant."

In normal fighting, under continuous collisions, the rebound impact force will affect oneself through the spear body, many actions are difficult to make, must be readjusted.

The other party could continuously attack, showing the combo was very special.

The so-called killing move is to perfectly mobilize the force, able to do defense and attack combos that ordinary people can't do.

"Such fast reaction ability, such strong movement technique." The elf girl's pretty face was also quite surprised.

This combo was one of her killing moves, often used to surprise the other party, able to solve the battle in two or three moves.

... "So powerful movement technique."

"Very steady!"

"There are masters in the folk."

"Xiu'er was shown." On the spectator stand, a large number of audience laughed, they actually didn't care that much about winning or losing.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

Collisions again and again, both sides could be considered spear technique masters, bodies were moving at high speed, constantly testing.

Trying to catch the other party's loopholes, looking for opportunities.

But Li Yuan was very steady, basically didn't take the initiative to attack, didn't seek merit but sought no mistakes, blocking the elf girl's silver spear again and again with defense.

"Virtual battle is to hone spear technique, fighting one more match or one less match makes no difference." Li Yuan's heart was as still as water, not in a hurry.

But the elf girl became more and more anxious in her heart.

She had already heard the sighs from the audience around, many were teasing her 'a bit boring', 'still not fighting', 'rush up!', 'keep circling', 'these two people are singing a play', 'can't show off, still call Xiu'er?', 'didn't you blow the cowhide before?', 'said she can't'...

The elf girl both wanted victory, rushing to 500 points to get the reward, and even more wanted live-stream effects.

"This guy, just like a turtle."

"Fighting like this, won't end in five minutes, estimate the audience will have to leave half, waiting no more." The elf girl bit the bullet and took the initiative to attack.

"Clang!" "Boom~"

Spear rod, spear tip collisions several times, Li Yuan kept retreating while holding the spear, the elf girl stepped forward continuously.

"Have a chance." The elf girl's eyes brightened slightly.

After less than ten collisions, Li Yuan was almost forced to the edge of the ring, and when the elf girl thought she was going to win.

"Hu!" Li Yuan, who had been defending for the whole match, suddenly burst out, the long spear in his hand suddenly stabbed out

"Tear~"

The long spear pierced the air, bursting out a sharp whistling sound!

"Not good." The elf girl 'Xiu'er' pupils shrank, just wanted to retreat, but the spear head had already pierced through her throat.

Too fast!

Fighting for nearly two minutes, for more than 90% of the time, she occupied the scene advantage.

But when she continuously attacked, the moment the old force was exhausted and the new force had not yet been born, she was caught by Li Yuan, and she was defeated in one round.

"Martial arts live stream, viewing effect is good, audience will reward gifts, can profit."

"Audience, sometimes can also stimulate one's own fighting enthusiasm." Li Yuan silently withdrew his spear, glancing at the noisy spectator stand not far away: "But rising because of the situation, often will also be trapped by the situation, disturbed by the situation."

"Life-and-death battle, should be pure."

"Battle, is not for viewing, but for life and death."

"Your martial arts skill is not below mine, but your mind is not completely placed on the battle." Li Yuan stared at the elf girl whose body had already disappeared: "So, you lost."

Life-and-death battle, never determined by simple physical fitness, martial arts skill level.

There is also mentality.

Li Yuan, who practices 《Rock Cultivation Method》, has a terrifyingly stable mentality.

"Congratulations on winning this Gold rank match, Defender·Yuan, points +10."

"Congratulations on reaching Gold rank 500 points, Defender·Yuan, you are qualified to claim the 50,000 Blue Star coin reward."

"Congratulations on entering the 'Blue Star Youth List', Defender·Yuan, ranked global 【4684】, Xia Nation area 【1224】, Jiangbei sub-area 【47】, specific list details can be queried through the following methods..."

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 23 =====

"The audience can sometimes ignite one's own passion for battle." Li Yuan silently sheathed his spear and glanced at the bustling spectator stands not far away: "But rising because of the momentum often means being trapped or disturbed by that same momentum."

"A life-and-death battle should be pure."

"Combat is not for show; it is to determine life and death."

"Your martial arts technique is not inferior to mine, but your mind was not entirely focused on the fight." Li Yuan stared at the elf girl whose body was already fading away: "Therefore, you lost."

A life-and-death battle is never decided solely by physical fitness or the level of martial arts technique.

There is also the mindset.

Li Yuan, who cultivates the "Rock Cultivation Method," has a terrifyingly stable mindset.

"Congratulations, Guardian Yuan. You have won this Gold-tier match. Points +10."

"Congratulations, Guardian Yuan. You have reached 500 points in the Gold tier and are eligible to claim a reward of 50,000 Blue Star Coins."

"Congratulations, Guardian Yuan. You have entered the 'Blue Star Youth Ranking,' currently ranked 【4684】 globally, 【1224】 in the Xia Nation region, and 【47】 in the Jiangbei sub-region. Detailed ranking information can be queried via the following methods..."
