Chapter 270: Seven Star Battle (Bonus 7)
"Rudnev? Wuma Nong? They actually evaluated Li Yuan like that?"
"No wonder Li Yuan's fame is so great."
"In the past few days, when I was cultivating at the Mental Pillar, I often heard many old members mention Li Yuan, and I was a bit strange about how Li Yuan's attention could be so high."
"So that's how it is." Jin Jin Huguo, Tian Tian Dazhuang, Yin Man, and the others were all quite emotional when they heard this.
Members of the Martial God Hall have a 'Seven Star Ranking,' which only includes the twenty most powerful and dazzling geniuses of Mount Qixing, and Rudnev is ranked first.
Wuma Nong, Yu Jinghe, and the others are also listed among them, so Jin Jin Huguo and the others knew very well how powerful the strength of the few people mentioned by Tantai Feng was.
They were all the top geniuses of the Seven Star Civilization's generation.
"Li Yuan, do you know them?" Yin He, who rarely spoke, couldn't help but ask.
Also from the Xia Nation, in terms of cultivation years, Yin He was the longest among this group, and among the fifth-year students of Blue Star Starfire Martial Arts University, his strength was also the strongest.
Compared to Boris, he was much more low-key.
"I met them in the Lieyu Star Realm." Alicia smiled. "The Captain's strength made people like Wuma Nong and Rudnev quite admire him."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"Bateman is here." Alicia said in a low voice, and everyone couldn't help but look over.
Li Yuan couldn't help but look over too.
Only to see several figures getting off another aircraft not far away. The leader was a man wearing blue robes, with short purple hair, looking to be in his early twenties, with a cold expression.
A group of people surrounded him and walked inside.
Bateman glanced at Li Yuan and the others with his peripheral vision, especially sweeping Li Yuan, without any emotional fluctuation on his face.
"29.6? Seems to be 0.1 higher than last time." Li Yuan murmured in his heart.
He had already activated the Divine Palace probe to confirm the other party's life layer.
In fact, on the first day of arriving in the Martial God Star Realm, Li Yuan and Bateman had already met. Bateman was the one with the highest life layer among the newcomers in this batch.
It was just that at that time, Li Yuan didn't know that the other party was Bateman.
"Quite arrogant." Tantai Feng muttered. "Actually getting so many people to follow him, all like little brothers."
"If your strength were as strong as his, I'm afraid you'd be even more arrogant than him." Tian Tian Dazhuang smiled. "I checked Bateman's information; he comes from Tianhai Star, and those people around him should also be newcomers from Tianhai Star this year."
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
The Seven Star Civilization has seven major planets.
Just in terms of population, Flying Star is first with 50 billion, followed by Tianhai Star with over 30 billion, and then Blue Star with over 10 billion people.
With a large population, the number of martial arts geniuses selected will naturally be much larger.
Population is the foundation for the birth of top geniuses.
"Almost all the old members are saying he has hope of winning the newcomer number one. I checked several gambling pools organized by old members, and they all bet on him for newcomer number one, and the performance evaluation will be the highest." Tian Tian Dazhuang smiled.
Clearly, people like Tian Tian Dazhuang and Tantai Feng didn't have the pressure to participate in the Seven Star Battle, so in the past half month, they had the most exchanges with other old members and understood the most types of information.
"Number one? Relying on him? If he were really amazing, he would have been selected into the Martial God Hall long ago." Alicia frowned, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.
Her heart was very much looking forward to Li Yuan winning newcomer number one.
"Alicia, don't underestimate anyone." Li Yuan smiled. "He is a top-tier Source Martial Artist. In the Seven Star Battle for newcomers, being older is actually an advantage."
"Besides, being so old and yet being directly confirmed as a second-class Martial God inheritor also proves from the side that he has extraordinary aspects." Li Yuan smiled.
"Hmm." Alicia nodded without refuting.
Just as everyone was preparing to enter.
"Li Yuan, Alicia, you actually arrived before me." Suddenly, a pleasant surprise came from behind them, followed by a figure with full golden hair striding forward, showing a smile he thought was handsome.
Alicia frowned.
The smiles on everyone's faces also converged.
"Boris." Li Yuan instead showed a ritualistic smile. "Long time no see."
"It's been a long time." Boris grinned. "How about we go in together?"
"Good."
The entire Seven Star Battlefield was very vast.
The group entered along the corridor, stepped over the steps, and quickly saw a quite vast battlefield, with a maximum diameter of absolutely over 3 kilometers.
"Quite big." Li Yuan's gaze swept across.
The ground of the entire battlefield was not completely flat, but rather quite complex in terrain, and it was not completely cast from metal; at a glance, it looked like soil, clearly made of very special materials.
"I heard that the building materials of the entire Seven Star ground are very special, traded by Demigods from some alien civilization." Tantai Feng said excitedly. "It's similar to memory metal. Even if the battle is fierce and the terrain changes, after a great battle, the entire battlefield will quickly return to its original state."
"That's quite special." Li Yuan smiled.
The group walked toward the spectator area.
Compared to the huge combat area, the spectator area was built very small, limited to one side of the combat space.
There were only 3,000 spectator seats.
After all, how many members are there in the Martial God Hall? It has never exceeded two thousand people in decades.
Therefore, 3,000 spectator seats were enough.
"Bateman is here."
"Li Yuan is here too."
"Rudnev and the others seem to be very optimistic about Li Yuan, but I look at those gambling pools, they seem to be more optimistic about Bateman."
"Isn't this nonsense? How long has Bateman cultivated? How long has Li Yuan cultivated? Rudnev and the others are optimistic that Li Yuan will be strong in the future, which doesn't mean Li Yuan is strong now."
"He is too small."
"I estimate he will win four rounds at most." Many old members in the spectator area discussed among themselves.
At this moment, Li Yuan, Alicia, Tian Tian Dazhuang, and the others had already sat down in the third row of the spectator area.
Every seat was very spacious.
All newcomers were sitting in the bottom few rows, making it convenient to participate in the battle quickly.
"It sounds like all the old members are optimistic about Bateman." Yin He sighed in a low voice.
"Wait until the Captain makes a move, they will naturally wake up." Alicia said softly.
She now looked forward to Li Yuan, besides trusting Li Yuan, there were other factors.
"Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe and the others are up there, do you want to go see them?" Jin Jin Huguo said in a low voice.
"No need, let's talk after the battle." Li Yuan shook his head. "Senior Brother, calm down and prepare to participate in the battle."
"Li Yuan is in."
At the very top of the spectator area, over a dozen figures were sitting, their auras were exceptionally powerful, like Yu Jinghe, Tavares, An Yongya, etc., were all among them.
Those ordinary old members below didn't dare to approach them at all.
Because these ten or so people were the most top-tier group of old students on Mount Qixing.
"Yu Jinghe, you said this little fellow countryman of yours can pass the sixth level? But I look at the gambling pool opened by An Yongya, it seems that Bateman is listed as number one." A black-haired woman with an extremely amazing appearance asked curiously.
She was in purple, quite heroic.
"Pei Yun, just watch." Yu Jinghe smiled. "You don't believe me, don't you believe the eyes of a Demigod?"
Pei Yun was a super genius from Flying Star, and she had Xia Nation blood.
Back then, after Flying Star suffered a great extinction due to the invasion of alien civilizations, the major planets immigrated a large number of people to Flying Star to fill various places.
Among them, the number of immigrants from the Xia Nation was the largest.
The current Flying Star people, ancestors from major planets and countries, were very numerous, and those with Xia Nation blood descendants were in the top three.
"Oh?"
"The Master is here." Tavares looked at the high sky and smiled. Eight figures were flying down from the high sky to the rostrum on the other side.
All were Flying Heaven martial artists responsible for guarding the Martial God Star Realm, at least peak Flying Heaven powerhouses.
The leader was the Mount Qixing Master Duanmu Hong in white.
Time passed.
One by one, members of the Martial God Hall arrived and sat down in the spectator area. They also found that Master Duanmu had arrived, and no one dared to make a loud noise.
Successively, newcomers like Chu Chen and Nevsky also arrived, and the number of people in the spectator area had exceeded seven hundred.
It didn't look like many people, but compared to the number of Martial God Hall members, it was already very astonishing.
"So many people! Last year's Seven Star Battle newcomer battle, less than a hundred old members came to watch." The soft and beautiful woman sitting next to Yan Jing swept across the four directions and couldn't help but say.
"The situation this year is different." Yan Jing smiled.
"I look at all the gambling pools and discussions, they all list Bateman as number one." The soft and beautiful woman said in a low voice. "Do you have confidence?"
"Wait and see." Yan Jing smiled. "Don't worry, this wave might earn back everything I lost before."
"You are absolutely crazy, a lunatic."
The soft and beautiful woman shook her head. "You, besides what you need for your own cultivation, how many Seven Star Points have you saved up in total?"
"What I'm betting on is that others don't know Li Yuan's true strength." Yan Jing said.
Li Yuan passing Kunlun Nine Mountains had caused a huge disturbance within Kunlun Martial Arts University, and was regarded as a legend by many students in the school.
But in the Martial God Hall, except for Yan Jing and Jin Jin Huguo, almost no one knew about this.
This was the information gap.
"Li Yuan?" Bateman murmured to himself, staring at Li Yuan without blinking.
Just now, he was the focus of everyone's attention.
Now? Li Yuan had just won the sixth round, but the shock brought to all the spectators exceeded the shock he brought when he won the seventh round just now.
After all, Li Yuan's age was much smaller than his.
"Li Yuan's spear technique is really amazing!" Tantai Feng, Alicia, Tian Tian Dazhuang, and the others were both excited and shocked.
Even Alicia didn't expect Li Yuan to be able to erupt to this extent.
"Perverted!"
"A big pervert! He should have cultivated a very introverted star technique. I even suspect he cultivated a supreme auxiliary star technique." Xiaoxing's voice sounded in Alicia's mind. "In a few months, he went from Fifth-Stage intermediate skill to Fifth-Stage limit. I really don't know how he cultivated."
Not long after, the discussion in the spectator area quickly became smaller.
The entire Star Realm battlefield became quiet, completely silent, and the eyes of all spectators were fixed on Li Yuan in the center of the battlefield.
Because, from the other end of the battlefield, a black-clothed figure was walking out, emitting a powerful aura, a Flying Heaven martial artist.
The seventh round was about to erupt.
At this moment, from the Demigods high above to the new members of the Martial God Hall, everyone wanted to know.
Could Li Yuan win the seventh round?
If he completed it, it would mean that Li Yuan would complete the feat of 'climbing the mountain in one battle' before the age of 19, which was absolutely the first time in the history of the Seven Star Civilization.
"Is it here?" Li Yuan looked at the black-clothed man who had gradually walked into the distance, quite looking forward to it in his heart.
Flying Heaven martial artist?
Back then, that ordinary teenager who practiced the spear hard in the martial arts classroom.
One day, he could actually fight with a Flying Heaven martial artist?
Finally, the black-clothed man stopped, holding a battle knife, staring at Li Yuan quite solemnly.
"Li Yuan."
"You should know the rules." The black-clothed man's voice was low. "Have you condensed the true meaning of heaven and earth? If you have already condensed the true meaning, then there is no need to fight this battle."
"I will admit defeat directly."
Just now, when Li Yuan won the sixth round, the black-clothed man was also watching from a very far distance.
Whether the true meaning of heaven and earth is condensed will be an essential transformation.
"I haven't." Li Yuan shook his head.
If only talking about skill level, the 'Star Return to Ruins' spear he just unleashed was not much stronger than the knife technique Bateman finally unleashed...
But the Black Star Spear in his hand was a semi-divine artifact.
Once the 'Earth Star Pulse True Explanation' was operated, as an auxiliary supreme star technique, it was enough to make the power of heaven and earth he drew upon soar... thus forming a terrifying spear.
"Good, then I won't hold back, be careful yourself." The black-clothed man said softly.
Except for not erupting star techniques and not flying, the black-clothed man had already decided to go all out.
Because Li Yuan's strength indeed made him feel a great threat.
Boom!
The black-clothed man moved directly, his speed almost exceeding the speed of sound in an instant, rushing toward Li Yuan.
The two sides were about one kilometer apart.
"So fast." Li Yuan's eyes narrowed. "At most two seconds, he will kill his way in front of me."
"If it were still the strength just now, I would definitely lose."
Just in terms of physical fitness, Li Yuan was still far from the limit of a Source Martial Artist, let alone compared to a Flying Heaven martial artist.
If he condensed the true meaning of heaven and earth, he could make up for this gap, but only a prototype of true meaning?
Not enough!
Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind, and he directly activated the five-layer star pulse in his body.
The surging source power poured in.
Hum~ Hum~ Hum~ Tens of thousands of life stars instantly lit up layer by layer, drawing the wonderful changes in Li Yuan's muscles and bones.
"Boom~" Li Yuan's figure instantly soared, from the original one meter eight, directly becoming about three meters tall, and at the same time, a layer of earthy yellow divine radiance was vaguely diffused on his body, making people dazzled.
The terrifying life aura diffused in all directions.
"Demigod Sanye." Fang Hai rarely revealed a hint of a smile.
In his sensing, Li Yuan's aura erupted suddenly, as if he had become a giant beast.
"Could it be that he has cultivated this star technique to the Tier-2 limit? Level 6? Or Level 8 star technique?" The black-clothed man's mind flashed with many thoughts. "Isn't it said that he is only 19 years old? How could he have time to cultivate such a powerful star technique."
The more powerful the star technique, the higher the requirements for star pulses.
And awakening star pulses requires a lot of time... so subconsciously, the black-clothed man thought that Li Yuan's star technique was probably only a three-layer star pulse or four-layer star pulse.
"Powerful strength!"
"The Tier-2 limit of 'Starry Sky Profound Body' is a Level 10 star technique, and the increase in my strength is too terrifying." Even though he had experimented more than once, when he truly erupted with all his might, Li Yuan was still a bit excited.
A powerful body refining divine technique bestows terrifying strength and speed!
It sounds slow, but in fact, the black-clothed man's killing, Li Yuan's subsequent eruption of star techniques, were all completed in the blink of an eye.
"Wow!"
Although the black-clothed man was shocked, he did not retreat at all. Source power gathered at the blade, and a dazzling knife light had already torn through the long sky, slashing toward Li Yuan.
"Kill!" Li Yuan's thick palm gripped the long spear, and the Black Star Spear had also reached five meters long with his heart, combined with his physical strength and source power, terrifying strength erupted.
Level 10 star technique, or body refining divine technique, the improvement to physical strength is terrifying, making the strength Li Yuan erupted exceed the Source Martial Artist level, reaching the threshold of a Flying Heaven martial artist in one fell swoop.
Stabbed out with one spear!
The spear tip drew upon the vast power of heaven and earth, directly unleashing the 'Star Return to Ruins' move.
This was Li Yuan's strongest eruption.
"Boom!"
It was like a meteor collision, and a visible air wave impact rushed in all directions.
The ground where Li Yuan was located shook violently, collapsing layer by layer for over ten meters, and he sank half a meter deep, but never retreated half a step from beginning to end.
Pow~
The black-clothed man flew backward with a bang, flew over a hundred meters before landing on the ground, and retreated more than ten steps before stopping.
"Ah~ Pfft!" This Flying Heaven martial artist could no longer bear it, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
At this moment, from the Demigods to the countless Martial God Hall members, everyone looked at this scene in shock.
A head-on confrontation in just one encounter, and the guard was already injured?
This shows that the gap in their head-on combat strength is very astonishing.
"I admit defeat."
This Flying Heaven martial artist smiled bitterly. "If I don't erupt star techniques, even if I fly, I'm afraid I can't do anything to you."
"Thank you, Senior." Li Yuan bowed, his figure quickly converged, and he lifted the star technique. 【270-
"Difficult, don't overestimate him too much." The chubby old man laughed, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
"Dead fat old man, so he came to show off in front of me." Fang Hai muttered in his heart.
How could he not understand the purpose of the Hun Tian Demigod.
Star Master Demigods, facing ordinary Source Martial Artists and Heaven-Flying martial artists, mostly keep a high profile and maintain their demeanor.
But they are also human.
In front of powerhouses of the same level, they are instead much more unrestrained, and laughing and scolding are the norm.
"The first match has started."
Demigod Demigod Sanye suddenly pointed to the light screen and said: "Let's pay attention to the Seven Stars Battle first."
"Hmm."
"It's started, it's a little guy who just turned 20." Fang Hai and the Hun Tian Demigod stopped communicating and looked at the light screen.
Just as Mountain Master Duanmu said.
These Demigods came to watch the battle; some had juniors they were optimistic about, and some indeed wanted to select excellent disciples.
Only.
Even if they were members of the Martial God Hall, if they weren't excellent enough, it would be extremely difficult to catch a Demigod's eye.
……
Martial God Star Realm, inside the Seven Stars Battlefield.
According to the battle order, the first newcomer, "Queliar", had already flown into the battlefield.
Whether it was Mountain Master Duanmu and his group of Heaven-Flying martial artists, or Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe, and the others, they were all watching the battle seriously.
Queliar's first opponent was a figure wearing black armor all over, whose face could not be seen clearly, holding a sword and shield, and the aura emitted was very fierce and terrifying.
The two figures stood facing each other from nearly a kilometer away, and immediately after, they erupted at the same time.
"Boom!" Queliar held a large axe, his figure moved, his whole body emitting bursts of blue radiance, turning into a stream of light and shooting out.
Killing towards that black figure.
Every step, hundreds of thousands of jin of force erupted, causing the earth to tremble faintly.
"Boom! Boom!" The two figures had already clashed together, fighting extremely fiercely.
……
"So weak, much weaker than I expected."
Boles questioned: "This Queliar, his physical fitness should only be around Level 23, right? How can he fight so evenly?"
"Boles, you don't understand this." Tantai Feng glanced at him: "In this Seven Stars Battle, the difficulty of the first three matches is not fixed; it will be determined according to the physical fitness of the participants. If the physical fitness is high, the guardian's strength will be stronger, and vice versa... It's also to give newcomers some confidence."
"So, most newcomers can at least pass the first match, and the third match is more difficult."
"Starting from the fourth match, the guardian's strength will be completely fixed... Only absolutely powerful strength can pass... From the fourth match to the seventh match, the guardian's strength will soar continuously." Tantai Feng said seriously.
Boles stopped talking immediately.
Alicia shook her head slightly, a hint of an inexplicable smile appearing on her face.
"Queliar is going to win." Li Yuan suddenly opened his mouth, and everyone looked seriously.
Boom!
Queliar suddenly slashed angrily with his axe, and the black figure was careless and was suddenly slashed flying backward.
"Queliar, win!" A low voice echoed above the battlefield.
"Won." Queliar's face was quite excited, and he waved his hand fiercely.
Quickly.
The second match erupted. This time, the opponent was not human, but a huge "Black Earth Dragon" that looked like an enlarged lizard.
It was also not a living being, but its strength was much stronger than the black armored figure in the first match.
In the first battle, Queliar won very arduously.
In the second match, he was defeated cleanly and neatly.
……
Time passed.
Newcomers went on stage to fight one after another, and most could only win the first match, and would lose in the second match.
Like Jin Jin Huguo and Nevsky, both fell in the second match.
Only about one-third could win the second match, such as Yin Man and Cross.
However.
What really exceeded everyone's expectations was Alicia. She was the 29th to go on stage, and originally the Blue Star group didn't think highly of her.
After all, she didn't even make it into the top three of Blue Star in the virtual battle a few months ago, and in terms of age, she was about the same as Yin Man and Nevsky.
Nevsky lost the second match, let alone her?
But the fact was, Alicia won! And she won the second match quite easily!
In the end, she lost to the guardian of the third match.
"Fifth-Stage Mid-Tier?"
"Alicia's sword technique is definitely at the Fifth-Stage Mid-Tier level."
"Progress is so fast." Jin Jin Huguo, Yin Man, and Nevsky were all surprised by this.
They felt the terror of Alicia's sword technique.
In the virtual battle, Alicia barely rushed into the top five, eventually ranking fifth.
But now, coming again, with the sword technique level Alicia displayed, I'm afraid Hamon and Nevsky couldn't beat her anymore, and she could definitely challenge the top three.
"Captain, how is it? I didn't lose face for you, right?" Alicia smiled and returned to the spectator stand.
"Powerful." Li Yuan laughed; he had long noticed the other party's extraordinary nature.
……
"This little girl, not bad."
"Only 21 years old, I've read her data, and she has made rapid progress in the last year." In that spectator space, many Demigods and Star Masters were communicating.
With their strength, they could easily memorize the data of hundreds of Martial God Hall newcomers.
With a Demigod's vision, they never look at someone's current strength, but look at them comprehensively.
"This one called Alicia, not bad." Demigod Demigod Sanye suddenly opened his mouth: "Her sword technique, I'm afraid, has already stepped onto the path of 'Cold Ice True Meaning', which is very compatible with my method."
"Why, you've taken a fancy to her?" Fang Hai laughed.
"Let's observe a bit more." Demigod Demigod Sanye's voice was gentle.
But Fang Hai knew Demigod Demigod Sanye's character clearly; saying this meant he liked her very much.
Without hesitation, Fang Hai directly sent a message to Duanmu Hong: "Duanmu, Demigod Demigod Sanye has the idea of taking Alicia as a disciple. After the Seven Stars Battle ends, you communicate with Alicia."
