Chapter 226: Finals! Top Ten (Extra Chapter 23)

After the melee and eight rounds of elimination, martial arts geniuses emerged one after another.

Plus the spread of the promotional videos of Li Yuan and Tantai Feng along the way.

It can be said that the popularity of this Global University Martial Arts Tournament virtual battle has reached an extreme point.

Whoosh!

When Li Yuan slowly practiced his spear technique, adjusted his state of mind, and went online at 7:40 PM sharp.

He just entered the tournament space and appeared in the viewing area belonging to "Kunlun Martial University students."

Immediately.

Swish! The "broadcast light screen" high above the battle space instantly aimed at him, and Li Yuan's face appeared on the big screen.

Boom!

"Li Yuan!"

"It's Li Yuan!!"

"Li Yuan!" The tournament space, which gathered more than 6 million spectators, instantly erupted with mountain-shaking sounds.

Not only the Xia Nation spectators, but most other countries' spectators were also shouting his name.

Millions of people cheering together, what kind of concept is this?

The momentum was earth-shattering, echoing in the vast tournament space, startling Li Yuan who had just gone online.

"So many people?" Li Yuan listened to the earth-shattering shouts and was a bit confused.

It was fine for Xia Nation spectators, why were spectators from other countries so excited?

"Haha, Brother Yuan, didn't expect it, right? Your popularity is terrifyingly high now." Gu Qianghan on the side laughed excitedly: "Simply world-famous."

"Didn't expect it." Li Yuan shook his head.

"Senior Brother, you and Tantai Feng are now popular all over the world, didn't you check your Weibo followers? It has already exceeded 40 million, this is global attention." An Nong said excitedly.

Li Yuan was stunned.

40 million followers? Is it that exaggerated?

Li Yuan had been focusing on cultivation for the past two days and hadn't gone online to the virtual network, so he really didn't know about these things.

You must know, the virtual network is absolutely real-name, under full network monitoring, there are basically no "zombie fans," this is real follower count... looking at the world, he can be considered a top-tier star.

"No way."

"The previous short video was certified by the Starfire Martial Hall and praised to the extreme." An Nong sighed with emotion: "Blue Star's contemporary number one genius! The pillar of the human civilization's future surpassing the Heaven-Flying level!"

Li Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

The principal and Star Lord Baishan and the others were indeed blowing it too much in order to attract the lurking alien Heaven-Flying level...

However, the result was good.

More than ten seconds later, the broadcast video changed to other finalists, and the shouts for Li Yuan fell a lot.

Only in the Kunlun Martial University area, a large number of spectators were still looking at Li Yuan's location, waving excitedly.

"A bit too crazy."

Li Yuan sat down and shook his head with emotion: "Shouldn't everyone be shouting for Senior Brother Jin? Senior Brother Jin also rushed into the top 20 of the finals."

"How can that be the same." A magnetic and vigorous voice sounded from behind Li Yuan: "You are absolutely dominant, defeating Hoffman and killing your way into the finals, I stumbled into the top 20, can it be the same?"

"Senior Brother Jin?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he turned to look.

Don't know when.

Jin Huguo had already sat in the row behind Li Yuan, he had a square face, not handsome, but very tough-guy style.

The two communicated, and suddenly Gu Qianghan, An Nong and the others next to them didn't dare to speak.

Among the nearly ten thousand students of Kunlun Martial University today, the status of Li Yuan and Jin Huguo is transcendent.

After all, just in terms of skill level, ordinary teachers are not as good as them.

"Senior Brother is joking." Li Yuan smiled: "With Senior Brother's strength, maybe you can also kill your way into the top three."

Li Yuan had studied his main competitors.

Like Harmon's real move, which was the battle with Jin Huguo, Li Yuan had watched it repeatedly.

In Li Yuan's view, Jin Huguo's skill level should be about the same as Hoffman's, even if weaker, not much weaker.

"Stop flattering me." Jin Huguo shook his head and smiled: "Whether I can enter the top ten depends on some luck... as for the top three, there is no hope at all."

"It's you, Junior Brother."

"Work hard! Strive to take first place." Jin Huguo smiled: "Our school has never taken first place in the Blue Star Tournament virtual battle."

"Or rather, since the virtual battle, looking at the world, every session has been taken by the three top martial arts schools in turn." Jin Huguo said solemnly: "Without exception."

"No exception?" Li Yuan was stunned.

He only knew that Kunlun Martial University hadn't taken the virtual battle championship, but listening to Jin Huguo's meaning... if he could take the championship, it wouldn't just be creating Kunlun Martial University's history.

In a sense, it was also creating the new history of the tournament, breaking the monopoly of the three top martial arts schools on the virtual battle championship.

"Li Yuan." Jin Huguo sighed: "Didn't you notice that among the masters who rushed into the top 20, except for you and me, and a martial arts genius 'Alicia' from Europe, the other 17 are all from the three top martial arts schools."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, calculating this way, it was indeed exaggerated.

But thinking about it, it was normal.

Even if it's a famous school like the five major schools of Xia Nation, maybe junior or senior students can occasionally give birth to a fifth-stage student.

But wanting a fifth-stage student before junior year? Too difficult.

Like Jin Huguo, he was a rare genius in Kunlun Martial University in recent decades.

"That Alicia is actually a bit like you." Jin Huguo smiled: "She also didn't awaken martial arts spirituality, so she didn't get into Black Stone University... her comprehension can't catch up to yours, but it's also extremely astonishing."

"Breaking through to the fifth stage in junior year is already very rare." Jin Huguo said solemnly.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Looking at the world, if you don't awaken martial arts spirituality, but if your comprehension is high enough, there are also many ways to gradually rise.

In the chat between Li Yuan and Jin Huguo, time passed, and finally it was 7:58.

Getting closer and closer to the start time of the tournament.

Suddenly, hum~ hum~ two fluctuations were born out of thin air, sweeping across Li Yuan and Jin Huguo at the same time.

Both disappeared at the same time.

When they appeared again, they were already in the center of the tournament space, around that huge battle arena.

Not just the two of them, peerless geniuses like Yin Man, Zhu Tong, Tantai Feng, Hoffman, Kunale, Nevsky, etc., appeared around the arena at the same time.

"Alicia." Li Yuan couldn't help but look at the blonde, blue-eyed woman.

She was like him, also didn't awaken martial arts spirituality.

... When the twenty peerless geniuses who killed their way into the finals appeared, the entire tournament space immediately boiled over, and countless spectators from all over the world were crazily shouting the names of the contestants one by one.

"Raja!!"

"Kunale, we in India are the strongest."

"Nevsky, kill Harmon!"

"Li Yuan! Yin Man! Take first place." Countless sounds rang out, everyone was shouting for the finalists of their own country.

But without a doubt, Li Yuan's shouts were the highest, this was determined by popularity.

"All audience friends, after ten days of cruel competition, this Global..." The black-clothed burly host appeared again, his voice resounding through heaven and earth: "After fierce competition among more than 6 million contestants, finally, we have selected twenty martial arts geniuses."

"They are the twenty strongest skill geniuses on Blue Star this year!!"

"And today's finals, we are going to decide the top ten, top five, and even the final first place in one go!!"

"First place, is the Blue Star number one!!"

"The top three geniuses decided, in the near future, will also represent our Blue Star to go to the distant Flying Star and duel with a group of the most monstrous geniuses from the other six major planets!!" The host's voice was passionate.

Constantly mobilizing the voices of all spectators.

Appropriately, the music was also playing.

"Wow! The number of spectators has exceeded 6 million!! Haha, it's absolutely unprecedented."

"Okay."

"Below I will introduce the twenty finalists in order, they are Yin Man, Li Yuan, Baichuan Ming..." Every time the host read a name.

It would cause the entire tournament space to erupt with earth-shattering roars.

Shouting the names of the contestants one by one.

Finally.

Finished reading the name of the last contestant.

"The time has passed eight o'clock." The host's voice was low: "First, the finals' first round 'Top 20 to Top 10' begins, battle rules, according to the total points ranking of the melee, the first battles the twentieth, the second battles the nineteenth..."

"Therefore, the first match of the first round, Yin Man battles Hades!" The host's voice increased again.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The twenty peerless geniuses who were originally around the battle arena were instantly teleported in.

"Yin Man." Li Yuan immediately looked over, this was one of the opponents he was most concerned about.

As for Hades? Li Yuan didn't have a deep impression.

Other contestants were also watching seriously, this was a good opportunity for them to understand the opponents in the next two rounds.

Because the physical fitness setting for both sides was Level 18, the battle arena diameter was 300 meters.

More than 6 million people watching.

On the battle arena, Yin Man and Hades had no nonsense, and directly erupted into battle.

This battle ended very quickly, but it also shocked the spectators and contestants.

Because!

Yin Man was truly terrifying, she used only one sword, and killed "Hades," who had shone brilliantly in the elimination round, in a crushing defeat.

From beginning to end, Hades had almost no power to fight back, and was completely crushed by Yin Man.

Finally.

Yin Man got the first spot in the top ten.

"Yin Man!"

"Invincible!"

"The most beautiful Yin Man!" More than a million Xia Nation spectators cheered excitedly.

"What a terrifying Yin Man!" Peerless geniuses like Harmon, Nevsky, etc., were all amazed by Yin Man's sword technique, and also felt pressure.

After all, according to the data, what Yin Man is best at is dual swords.

Using one sword to easily defeat "Hades," who is also fifth-stage, once two swords erupt, what kind of terror will it be?

"Fifth-stage mid-tier."

"It is indeed fifth-stage mid-tier, another one, counting Li Yuan and Nevsky, this is the third one." In the higher-level viewing space, many Heaven-Flying warriors discussed with each other.

Today, there were still more than 100,000 source warriors watching, but there were more than 100 Heaven-Flying warriors watching.

"Today is the finals, the Star Lord didn't come?"

"Not clear."

"Wait a bit longer, maybe when the final battle comes, the Star Lord will come." Many Heaven-Flying warriors watching were actually here to see the Star Lord.

It's just a pity, the Star Lord didn't come today.

While these Heaven-Flying warriors were discussing, the second battle had already erupted.

The second battle erupted between Nevsky and Hoffman, both were super geniuses of their respective countries.

But only for a moment, this battle ended.

When Nevsky's axe technique fully erupted, axe lights were continuous, directly crushing Hoffman.

Finally, Nevsky got the second top ten spot.

The third battle, Tantai Feng battled "Yu Mingwei," also a Xia Nation genius.

This was a Xia Nation civil war.

No way, the rules were like this, Xia Nation occupied six spots in the top 20, it was normal for a civil war to erupt.

This battle, both sides fought incomparably tragically.

Finally, contrary to the expectations of most spectators, it was Tantai Feng who was more skilled, risking his own serious injury to win against Yu Mingwei.

"Haha, won! Won!" Tantai Feng's eyes were full of light, one of his arms was broken, and blood was flowing.

But Tantai Feng didn't care at all.

"Killed into the top ten!"

"Killing into the top ten as a freshman, it can be considered creating Xia Nation's history, Yu Jinghe only rushed to the top 20 as a freshman." Tantai Feng laughed.

He even couldn't help but look at Li Yuan, grinning: "Li Yuan, I rushed into the top ten earlier than you."

Tantai Feng knew clearly that the probability of him rushing into the top five was very, very low, being able to kill into the top ten was already a miracle.

"Senior Baishan, worthy of being more powerful and older than Great-Grandfather." Tantai Feng thought to himself: "One guidance actually made me improve so much."

Li Yuan, received help from the Xia Nation high echelon.

Similarly, Tantai Feng also received gifts from the Xia Nation high echelon.

Every genius has their own opportunities during their growth.

"Tantai Feng's knife and shield coordination is stronger."

"Yu Mingwei actually lost?" Other contestants were secretly surprised, most of them judged that Tantai Feng would lose.

The fourth match, the fifth match... one peak duel after another, the ones eliminated were all fifth-stage masters.

And the remaining fifth-stage masters, their strength would only be more terrifying.

In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh match—Li Yuan battles Kunale!!

When both were teleported into the battle arena, earth-shattering roars instantly rang out, this was a duel that attracted worldwide attention.

"Li Yuan!"

"Li Yuan!!" More than a million Xia Nation spectators were shouting.

"Kunale!"

"Kunale." Nearly a million spectators from India were also not showing any weakness.

Spectators from other countries were a bit emotional... these were the cheers of spectators from two populous countries, far exceeding other countries.

On the battle arena.

"Li Yuan, everyone says you are Blue Star's contemporary number one genius, and have hope of taking the championship, but I don't believe it." Kunale had a high nose bridge, pale skin, and stared at Li Yuan: "I will prove to everyone that I am the strongest."

"Take out your full strength, so that you won't have excuses after losing."

"After defeating you, I will kill into the top five, until I take the championship." Kunale was full of confidence.

As India's "number one genius," his fame was still very big.

"Okay." Li Yuan smiled slightly: "To express my respect for you, I will take out my full strength."

Boom! Boom!

Both sides erupted at the same time, rushing towards each other, colliding and fighting like lightning.

Kunale cultivated the knife and shield technique, his knife technique was extremely exquisite, and his shield technique was even more unique.

This was also the reason why many people, although not optimistic about him winning, determined that he could hold off Li Yuan for a long time.

It's just...

When the two of them truly collided, Kunale was crushed... only ten or so moves of lightning-fast collision.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by a spear that traversed the sky, the spear in Li Yuan's hand had already directly pierced Kunale's throat.

Killed!

Kunale, defeated!

"I thought how strong he was." Li Yuan suddenly retracted his spear and shook his head slightly: "So famous... but to me, I'm afraid he's even worse than Hoffman."

Thud~ Kunale's corpse fell heavily to the ground.

"Let me go all out? Too weak."

However, Li Yuan also understood in his heart that it wasn't that Kunale was really weak, but that his own strength was stronger.

"What?"

"How is it possible!"

"Kunale lost so quickly?"

"Li Yuan!!" Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky and other peerless geniuses all changed their faces, their eyes full of shock.

Too strong!!

Before the finals, most of them had analyzed Li Yuan, especially Li Yuan's duel with Hoffman, these martial arts geniuses had all concluded—Li Yuan is good at defense, not attack.

But now?

Kunale defended with all his might, and under Li Yuan's fierce attack, he only held on for ten or so spear moves?

This level of spear attack was much stronger than when Li Yuan defeated Hoffman.

"Really perverted." Tantai Feng muttered to himself.

He was quite shocked in his heart: "Just broke through to fifth-stage mid-tier during the melee... and became so much stronger in less than ten days?"

Tantai Feng felt that his progress was fast enough.

But compared to Li Yuan? The gap seemed even bigger.

"Could it be that Li Yuan has a spear technique progress system written in novels?" Tantai Feng couldn't help but think: "Why don't I have a show-off system? That way my progress would definitely be this fast."

During cultivation, occasionally, Tantai Feng would read some web novels.

"What a powerful spear technique."

"Really beautiful."

"Stellar intent, attack power can also be this strong? His spear technique skills must have made great progress." Heaven-Flying warriors in the higher-level viewing space were also quite amazed.

Most of them expected Li Yuan to win.

But winning so easily? It was also beyond their imagination!

"Haha, I felt Yin Man was stronger than Li Yuan before, now I'm not sure."

"Me too."

"Li Yuan won!"

"Li Yuan is awesome." Xia Nation's millions of spectators were excited, shouting crazily.

Because, adding Li Yuan, among the six major geniuses of Xia Nation, three had already killed into the top ten.

Zhu Tong and Jin Huguo hadn't competed yet.

The only one eliminated, Yu Mingwei, was because of the civil war... this winning rate was indeed astonishing.

Quickly, the last three matches of the first round of the finals ended one by one.

Zhu Tong lost, losing to the Sakura Nation's number one genius "Baichuan Ming."

"Baichuan Ming's sword technique."

"So fast."

"What a powerful sword technique." Many people were amazed, even Tantai Feng, Raja and other geniuses who had already won the top ten seats showed solemn expressions.

Just in terms of sword technique power, it seemed Yin Man's sword technique was faster and fiercer.

But in terms of speed, Baichuan Ming's sword technique was faster... it was absolutely the fastest weapon speed among all the martial arts geniuses participating in the finals so far.

Martial arts in the world, only speed cannot be broken.

Absolute speed itself represents absolute power.

The tenth match of the first round of the finals.

Jin Huguo won!

He and another martial arts genius "Alvis" had a tragic fight, fighting for more than ten minutes.

It was the longest battle among the ten great battles.

You must know, most of the previous duels ended within three minutes, after all, all contestants had no source power battle suit protection, and it was close-quarters fighting, as long as a slight flaw was revealed, it was the price of death.

The great battle reached an astonishing ten minutes, indicating that the strength of both sides was incomparably close.

Finally, Jin Huguo won narrowly... in the final stage of the fight, the madness revealed in the calmness shocked countless spectators.

"Senior Brother Jin, really powerful."

"In terms of strength, he and Alvis are about the same." Li Yuan sighed secretly: "Maybe Senior Brother Jin's hard strength is weaker, but the decision-making between life and death is far better than the other party."

This kind of decisiveness, Li Yuan asked himself, if it were him, he might not be able to do better.

Li Yuan couldn't help but think of the battle between Jin Huguo and Harmon.

Clearly weaker in strength, but relying on terrifying combat consciousness, he almost ended up with Harmon.

Up to this point.

The top ten of the virtual battle, all selected!

Under the watch of more than 6 million people.

Time had reached 9:00 PM.

"Yin Man, Tantai Feng, Li Yuan, Jin Huguo, Baichuan Ming, Harmon, Raja, Nevsky, Alicia, Amos." The host's voice was passionate: "Let us congratulate the above ten geniuses, they are the top ten of this virtual battle."

"Li Yuan!"

"Yin Man!"

"Harmon." Millions of spectators were excited, many even waving their arms.

Especially the millions of Xia Nation spectators, they were even more excited!!

"Haha, top ten geniuses, our Xia Nation occupies four."

"It's a pity, if Tantai Feng and Yu Mingwei weren't in a civil war, maybe we could occupy five spots."

Occupying four spots in the top ten was indeed very conspicuous.

However, the most excited and crazy ones were the students and teachers of Kunlun Martial University.

Because, among the top ten spots, Kunlun Martial University occupied a full two—Li Yuan, Jin Huguo.

In the higher-level viewing space.

"Haha, top ten geniuses, two of them are from our Kunlun Martial University." Dean Li Yuan proudly showed off to the surrounding top-tier source warriors: "Old Liu, look at your school, how many years has it been since a top ten came out."

"Look at how proud you are."

"This little thing."

"This Li Yuan, whatever happens, he likes to show off." The vice deans of the other four major schools in Xia Nation couldn't help but complain.

"What's called showing off." Li Yuan stared: "This is called confidence! If you had such powerful students, you would be even more confident than me."

"Don't think I don't know you guys."

The top ten geniuses of the virtual battle were selected.

After only a ten-minute rest, the second round of the finals—top ten to top five—was about to begin.

The duel would be freely matched by the virtual network system.

"Okay!"

"The matching is over." The host looked at the duel order list that had just been released, and said solemnly: "Top ten to top five, the winner of each match will kill into the top five, and then conduct the final round to decide the first place."

"I announce, the first match of the second round."

"Li Yuan battles Baichuan Ming!!" The host's voice was high.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan and Baichuan Ming were instantly teleported to the arena, immediately attracting countless people's attention.

The two of them.

One was hailed as Blue Star's contemporary number one genius.

The other just showed extremely strong strength, and was considered by many to have hope of rushing into the top five.

Now they collided together.

"Li Yuan."

"Baichuan Ming! You are the strongest."

"Baichuan will definitely be able to take the championship." On the viewing platform, earth-shattering cheers from countless spectators from Sakura Nation and Xia Nation rang out.

... On the arena.

"Li Yuan-kun, your strength is indeed powerful, but I will never give up." Baichuan Ming held his sword with both hands, staring at Li Yuan.

"Your sword is fast." Li Yuan was very calm, holding the spear, smiling slightly: "Come, let me see how fast your sword can be."
