Chapter 271

Inside the Seven Stars Battlefield.

Watching one participant after another stop at the second match was like basins of cold water being poured down, making many newcomers calm down.

The Seven Stars Battle was not as easy to win as they had imagined.

The thirty-third match.

Finally, the first newcomer to pass the third match appeared—Chu Chen!

He was one of the three Second-Rank Martial God inheritors this year.

This Second-Rank Martial God inheritor only had a physical fitness of Level 21, but he revealed his extraordinary side.

Winning three matches in a row.

Finally stopping at the fourth match.

His saber technique was impressive, and many could see... if it weren't for the huge disadvantage in physical fitness, he would definitely have had a chance to win the fourth match.

……

"This Chu Chen just graduated from sophomore year, but in terms of skill, he is much stronger than me," Tantai Feng's eyes had light.

"His skill should be Fifth-Stage Mid-Tier," Tian Dazhuang judged: "Not yet Fifth-Stage High-Tier."

"This Chu Chen might not be worthy of being a Second-Rank Martial God inheritor," Yin Man rarely spoke, her voice indifferent: "It's just that he comes from Senior Lante's hometown country."

Everyone suddenly realized.

In the Seven Stars civilization, two powerhouses were the most special: one was Dongfang Ji, and the other was Lante.

Both of their hometown countries had the privilege of having one Second-Rank Martial God inheritor every year.

"Still very amazing," Li Yuan smiled.

……

Starting from the fiftieth match, newcomers occasionally began to win the fourth match, or even the fifth... It wasn't that their talent potential was higher than Chu Chen's.

It was that they were older.

In the Martial God Hall's battle ordering, older newcomers were deliberately arranged in the second half.

For example—Yin He!

As the "Number One Senior" of Blue Star Space University, his strength was very terrifying. He revealed his powerful strength from the first match, and finally erupted with two Star Techniques... winning the fifth match with great difficulty!

In the sixth match, he lost.

"Enough."

Yin He was extremely satisfied, even quite excited: "Winning the fifth match means being an Elite member. The various cultivation resources I will get next will be much more."

Yin He was the second person to win five matches.

……

The fifty-eighth match, it was finally Bo Lei Si's turn to go on stage.

"Bo Lei Si, he is the oldest newcomer in this batch. I wonder if he can win the seventh match."

"Win the seventh match? Difficult! The seventh match requires the combat power threshold of a Heaven-Flying martial artist. He should have a chance to win six matches," on the spectator stand, many old members were extremely concerned about Bo Lei Si.

Many people had placed bets on him.

In the eyes of many old members, as the oldest newcomer, Bo Lei Si's talent potential was definitely not the highest.

But his current strength should be in the top three among all newcomers.

"Yin He won the fifth match. With my strength, I must win six matches," Bo Lei Si stood in the center of the battlefield, full of ambition: "Then, once I work hard to cultivate for a few more years, I will have a chance to challenge Seven Stars Mountain."

"Once I become a Seven Stars Mountain member, just the 200 extra Seven Stars points every year is a rare big benefit."

The battle erupted quickly.

In the end, Bo Lei Si did not live up to the high hopes of many "gamblers," erupting with amazing strength and winning six matches in a row.

However, facing the gatekeeper of the seventh match, he lost miserably, defeated in just two moves.

Without suspense.

……

"It really is Fifth-Stage Perfection level skill," Li Yuan smiled: "Bo Lei Si is indeed quite amazing."

"Fifth-Stage Perfection?"

"Nothing amazing," Alicia shook her head: "Just cultivated for a few more years."

"Strength is number one," Li Yuan smiled: "Alicia, I know you don't like him, but you have to admit his strength. He can cultivate to this level and be selected into the Martial God Hall; clearly, he is not a mediocre person."

"Hmm," Alicia nodded.

……

Bo Lei Si became the first newcomer to win six matches.

"Stable."

"Even if it's Bateman, he might not be able to win seven matches. Maybe he'll only win six like me, then we'll be tied for first," Bo Lei Si returned to the spectator stand quite excitedly.

He couldn't help but look at the golden-haired Alicia.

Only!

Even though he had just shone brilliantly, Alicia was still communicating with Li Yuan at this moment, not even looking at him directly.

This made Bo Lei Si feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"Am I really that bad?" Bo Lei Si doubted life for a moment.

However, as time passed.

Bo Lei Si quickly regained his confidence.

Because, after him, more than forty newcomers went on stage to fight... except for two who won five matches, no one else could win six matches.

Now, the "Newcomer Battle" of this year's Seven Stars Battle had come to an end.

Of the more than one hundred newcomers, except for a few like Tantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang who had not yet become Source martial artists and were not qualified to participate.

Only the last two newcomers remained—Li Yuan and Bateman.

This also made Bo Lei Si increasingly confident.

"Older?"

"So what if I'm older? My strength is the strongest," Bo Lei Si thought to himself: "Others were selected when they were young. By the time they reach my age, their strength might not be as strong as mine."

His thinking was not wrong; most Martial God Hall members would stop at Fifth-Stage Perfection skill in their lifetime.

"Li Yuan's strength is definitely not as good as mine," Bo Lei Si thought: "Bateman? He might be stronger than me, but it's impossible for him to control True Meaning!!"

"Maybe I can tie for first."

"At most, my evaluation score will be lower," Bo Lei Si's eyes had light.

From the fifth stage to the sixth stage is a natural chasm.

Once you control the Heaven and Earth True Meaning, if you cultivate to a very high level, theoretically, there is a glimmer of hope to become a Demigod.

In the entire human civilization, very, very few can control the Heaven and Earth True Meaning before the age of 30.

Like Wuma Nong, Yu Jinghe, and other martial arts geniuses, they only broke through to control the Heaven and Earth True Meaning after the age of 30.

……

"Only two people left."

"Bateman and Li Yuan, they are the two most famous, and they were deliberately left for last."

"I'm afraid it was deliberately arranged by Mountain Master Duanmu."

"To keep the suspense for the end."

"However, arranging Bateman for last is fine, but arranging Li Yuan for last too?" Many old members communicated with each other.

The large number of newcomer battles before had made them a bit bored.

Only the battles of a few newcomers like Yin He and Bo Lei Si could make people's eyes light up.

"Bateman is on stage," someone said suddenly.

Whoosh!

That blue-clothed, short-haired youth had already flown into the battlefield.

At this moment.

Whether it was the Demigod Star Masters watching the battle on the virtual network, or geniuses like Li Yuan, Alicia, and Yu Jinghe, they all watched the battle seriously.

Because Bateman was indeed excellent, and his attention was also extremely high; he was the biggest favorite for first place.

The battle erupted!

First match, one slash!

Second match, one slash!

……

Fourth match, one slash!

For four consecutive matches, the gatekeepers of the four matches were all defeated by him in one slash.

Bateman hadn't even unleashed his Star Technique yet.

The terrifying strength he erupted with shocked most of the spectators; it was indeed fierce.

"This saber technique is amazing," Tantai Feng was extremely shocked, staring fixedly.

"Much more amazing than mine," Tian Dazhuang also muttered to himself.

Both of them were practicing saber techniques, and in the few days they had been watching the battle, they had never seen such an amazing saber technique.

The few Martial God Hall members who successfully challenged Seven Stars Mountain this year did not use saber techniques.

"Captain, what do you think of his saber technique?" Alicia whispered, looking at Li Yuan.

"Not bad," Li Yuan smiled: "It should have reached the Fifth-Stage extreme."

……

"This Bateman is indeed amazing."

"With this kind of saber technique, he should be close to condensing True Meaning," Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and the others all saw this point.

……

"So fierce? Trouble," Yan Jing's face changed slightly: "With this kind of strength, Bateman probably has a chance to challenge the seventh checkpoint."

Originally, he was full of confidence in Li Yuan.

Especially seeing that no one else won six matches except Bo Lei Si, his confidence was even stronger.

He hadn't expected that Bateman, who was much younger than Bo Lei Si, would have such terrifying strength.

"Going to lose again."

The beautiful woman beside him frowned, saying with hatred for his lack of success: "Gambler! If you lose this time, don't gamble again."

"There's still a chance," Yan Jing was still stubborn.

"Chance my ass," the beautiful woman snorted: "I know Li Yuan has high talent, but no matter how strong his skill is, can it be stronger than Bateman's? Can he condense Heaven and Earth True Meaning?"

"His physical fitness is a big chunk lower," the beautiful woman shook her head: "With Bateman's strength, there is a high probability of him killing his way into Seven Stars Mountain directly."

"No matter how strong Li Yuan is, he can't be stronger than Bateman," the beautiful woman said.

She was also an Elite disciple of the Martial God Hall, having been in the Martial God Star Realm for many years, and her vision and knowledge were extremely high.

Yan Jing opened his mouth and said nothing.

……

"Truly a good seedling."

"This saber technique truly has a hint of the 'Hundred Rivers True Meaning' style. This True Meaning killing move definitely exhausts the extreme of the fifth stage."

"Give him another two years, and he will definitely have hope of condensing True Meaning," in the spectator space, seeing Bateman's eruption, this group of Demigods did not skimp on words of praise.

Such a martial arts genius was also very rare for the Seven Stars civilization.

……

Bateman's fifth match had already begun. This time he directly unleashed his Star Technique.

His body instantly became huge.

"God Body Technique!"

"It's actually a body-refining Star Technique," bursts of exclamations sounded, and the faces of many old members watching the battle changed. Yu Jinghe, Tavares, and the others all revealed a hint of solemnity.

Body-refining Star Techniques are definitely the most terrifying among many Star Techniques, and they are also a type of Star Technique that requires extremely high physical fitness and skill level.

Even these top geniuses might not have cultivated God Body Star Techniques.

No way.

First, Source martial artists can cultivate at most two Star Techniques.

Secondly, in the entire Seven Stars civilization, there are very few God Body Star Techniques that can be cultivated relatively completely to the Heaven-Flying level or even the Demigod level.

And many God Body Star Techniques have extremely high requirements.

For example, the very famous "Ten Thousand Gold God Body" is a seven-fold Star Technique, but it must be cultivated by the Gold lineage.

Secondly, for Source martial artists, wanting to awaken a certain Star Pulse into a seven-fold Star Pulse is really too difficult.

As powerful as Rudnev, he has not yet been able to cultivate a seven-fold Star Technique.

In short, for many reasons, God Body Star Techniques are quite rare among Source martial artists.

But once practiced, one will possess amazing strength.

Inside the Seven Stars Battlefield.

"Whoosh!"

Bateman, who unleashed the body-refining Star Technique, saw his strength soar by a large chunk, and he still angrily slashed the gatekeeper of the fifth checkpoint away with one slash.

Winning the fifth match.

In the sixth match, Bateman fought the gatekeeper for more than ten moves, finally seizing a flaw to defeat him.

……

"Seventh match." "Can he win?" All the spectators, including Mountain Master Duanmu and many Demigods, were watching extremely seriously, and a hint of expectation faintly rose in their hearts.

Seventh match!!

If Bateman could win, he would climb the mountain in one battle and directly become a Seven Stars Mountain member.

Such things, even in the history of the Martial God Hall, are extremely rare and require satisfying many conditions.

The first is that the age must be old enough, because physical fitness is often extremely strong only when the age is old, so one can cultivate extremely strong Star Techniques.

The second is that the skill is clever enough, at least Fifth-Stage extreme.

But these two are often paradoxes, because if one can reach Fifth-Stage extreme skill before the age of 30... under normal circumstances, one would have been selected into the Martial God Hall long ago.

Precisely because of this, the number of Martial God Hall newcomers who can climb the mountain in one battle is countable on one's fingers in history.

On average, there can be one every seven or eight years.

……

"Captain, do you think he can win the seventh match?" Alicia couldn't help but ask.

!.

"Maybe," Li Yuan smiled: "Winning is a good thing, it shows our civilization is more powerful."

Many people were looking forward to it.

"Must win the seventh match and take first place without controversy," many old members who bet on Bateman were quite excited.

"Don't win."

"Definitely don't win, spare me a way to live."

"As long as I don't lose this time, in the future, in the future I will definitely not gamble," Yan Jing silently expected in his heart.

Seeing the terrifying strength Bateman erupted with, Yan Jing didn't dare to hope that Li Yuan could be strong.

Even if Li Yuan's skill could rival him, what about physical fitness? What about Star Techniques? These often require time to accumulate.

……

On the Seven Stars Battlefield.

The gatekeeper of the seventh match did not appear as quickly as the first six matches, but waited for a long time, as if waiting for Bateman to adjust his breathing.

Finally, the gatekeeper of the seventh checkpoint appeared.

It was a human wearing silver battle armor, emitting a powerful aura.

The gatekeeper of the seventh checkpoint was a true Heaven-Flying martial artist!

"Heaven-Flying martial artist." Bateman's expression was also extremely solemn; he had known before that the other party was a true Heaven-Flying martial artist.

"Bateman."

"Like Bo Lei Si," the man in silver battle armor smiled: "I won't fly, and I won't unleash Source Power. My body is only Level 30, and my skill is only Fifth-Stage Perfection... as long as you can defeat me, you are a Seven Stars Mountain member."

"Understood," Bateman nodded.

Such a Heaven-Flying martial artist can be said to be the weakest Heaven-Flying martial artist, and he even gave up the biggest advantage of a Heaven-Flying martial artist—flying.

Under these circumstances, if he still couldn't win, it proved that he hadn't even reached the threshold of the Heaven-Flying level.

Naturally, he was not qualified to enter Seven Stars Mountain.

Boom!

The two sides finally engaged in battle. Bateman erupted with his strongest strength as soon as he came up. Besides the body-refining Star Technique, he actually erupted with another Star Technique... making his strength increasingly terrifying.

But the man in silver clothes, as a Heaven-Flying martial artist, had extremely terrifying strength. The long sword in his hand stabbed out, sword light danced, Source Power became silk, spitting like electricity, crazily ravaging.

The two sides fought for a full thousand moves.

In the end, Bateman laughed until the end. When he angrily slashed out his last slash, the man in silver clothes finally couldn't block it, and his whole body was thrown out. Blood was already faintly overflowing from his whole body.

"You won," the man in silver clothes got up, blood at the corner of his mouth, but there was a smile on his face: "Congratulations, you have climbed Seven Stars Mountain."

"Thank you, Senior," Bateman bowed, restraining his Star Technique, and his whole body returned to normal.

……

"Won!"

"Haha, Bateman won!! Won!"

"Climbed the mountain in one battle." The entire spectator stand was completely boiling, and many old members and new members were quite excited.

Climbing the mountain in one battle, such a feat had not appeared for many years.

Being able to witness it once is very rare.

"Actually won."

"Climbed the mountain in one battle, this Bateman is indeed amazing."

"When I was the same age as Bateman, I'm afraid I wasn't as good as him," Tavares and An Yongya sighed with emotion. These super geniuses only recognized those with strong strength.

Clearly, Bateman's strength had gained their recognition.

"Haha, Yu Jinghe, it seems you were wrong," Pei Yun smiled: "Bateman climbed the mountain in one battle, do you still think Li Yuan is stronger?"

"I was wrong," Yu Jinghe was also frank, sighing with emotion: "It's not that Li Yuan isn't strong enough. If he cultivates for another year, I'm afraid he will be stronger than Bateman, but unfortunately..."

No matter how confident Yu Jinghe was in Li Yuan, facing Bateman who climbed the mountain in one battle, he had to be convinced.

At least.

Today, Bateman was the most dazzling.

……

"Finished," Yan Jing's face was ashen: "There's really no hope now."

Yan Jing thought highly of Li Yuan, but he didn't think he could climb the mountain in one battle.

"Let you gamble!"

"Lost another 1000 Seven Stars points!!" The beautiful woman beside him said hatefully: "Don't gamble next time."

Yan Jing was completely silent.

……

"Climbed the mountain in one battle."

"Indeed not bad."

"No wonder he was taken as a personal disciple by Xue Bu."

"The strength he erupted with in the end was stronger than I expected." In that spectator space on the virtual network, a group of Demigods were also quite emotional.

The strength Bateman erupted with was not very shocking to them, after all, Bateman was already very old.

These Demigods were all very dazzling when they were young, and many were no less than Rudnev.

And they all knew that Bateman was the personal disciple of "Demigod Xue Bu."

……

Bateman, who had never been defeated, exited the Seven Stars Battlefield, and suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was the last one on the battle list to go on stage.

Once he finished the battle, this year's newcomer battle would be declared over.

At the same time, he was also the most famous in this year's newcomer battle, so he was naturally highly anticipated.

"Captain," Alicia's eyes flashed with a hint of worry, and she whispered: "Don't have pressure."

"Li Yuan."

Jin Huguo also couldn't help but say: "Perform well, passing five matches is a victory, don't be affected."

Other friends also looked at Li Yuan, seemingly a bit worried.

"Why, are you all worried that I'll be scared by Bateman?" Li Yuan smiled; he naturally knew what these friends were worried about.

No way.

The scene where Bateman erupted with two major Star Techniques and fought head-on with a Heaven-Flying martial artist was indeed shocking.

"Rest assured," Li Yuan smiled and got up, his figure moving as he entered the Seven Stars Battlefield.

"Xiaoxing," Alicia couldn't help but ask in her heart: "How many matches do you think Li Yuan can win?"

"Six matches."

"I have a feeling that his life aura should not yet be at the top-level Source martial artist level," a childish voice sounded: "There is hope to hold on for a while in the seventh match, but there is basically no hope of winning."

"The seventh match set by your civilization is still a bit difficult."

……

A group of friends from Blue Star had high hopes for Li Yuan, but the highest expectation was only winning six matches.

"Li Yuan? I estimate he will only win four matches."

"The hope of winning five matches is not great." In fact, most old members and other newcomers didn't have high hopes for him.

……

In the virtual spectator space.

"Fang Hai, how many matches do you think your student can win?" Demigod Sanye said softly.

Other Demigods also looked over.

"What do you all think?" Fang Hai smiled; he didn't have any thoughts about Bateman's eruption.

"Six matches?"

"Difficult!"

"If he wins five matches, his actual performance will be stronger than Bateman's."

"Hmm, he is too young, can't ask for too much."

"I estimate he will win five matches."

"Look at Fang Hai's appearance, he's just waiting to mock your poor judgment. I bet Li Yuan can win six matches," many Demigods communicated casually. Their vision was extremely high, and their opinions were clearly very unified—a high probability of winning five matches, a small probability of winning six matches.

"Oh?"

"It seems everyone doesn't have high hopes for Li Yuan," Fang Hai smiled; he still had a certain understanding of Li Yuan's strength.

"The battle has begun," Demigod Sanye said suddenly.

Suddenly.

Many Demigods and Star Masters looked at the light screen; Li Yuan's Seven Stars Battle had already begun.

The first battle had just erupted.

Facing the black armored figure, Li Yuan held a long spear and fought with him for several moves before blasting him away with one shot.

Winning the first match.

……

Second match, the two sides fought for several more moves before Li Yuan defeated the opponent.

Third battle, Li Yuan fought with the gatekeeper for a longer time, a full dozens of moves, before defeating him.

"Li Yuan's spear technique is indeed not bad, it should have crossed into the Fifth-Stage High-Tier," a Demigod gave an evaluation: "He should be able to win the fourth match, but winning the fifth match is probably difficult."

"At this age, this kind of skill is already monstrous," another Demigod said.

Other Demigods did not object.

But soon, all the Demigods were quiet.

……

Fourth match, Li Yuan was still "slowly" fighting the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper's strength was a big chunk stronger than the third checkpoint, but he still couldn't suppress Li Yuan.

After the two sides fought for dozens of moves, Li Yuan won.

……

Fifth match.

The power of Li Yuan's spear technique suddenly changed, increasing by a big chunk, just enough to rival the gatekeeper, and the two sides fought for hundreds of moves.

Finally defeated!

"Fifth-Stage Perfection spear technique."

"Is he really only 19 years old?" This group of Demigods was a bit surprised. From Fifth-Stage High-Tier to Fifth-Stage Perfection, this is an absolute qualitative change.

How many top Source martial artists are trapped for a lifetime.

Just like that, Li Yuan broke through?

"If he can control a more powerful Star Technique, he can win the sixth match," Demigod Hun Tian gave an evaluation again.

……

Sixth match, the gatekeeper's strength soared again compared to the fifth checkpoint, already close to a limit of the Source martial artist level.

Li Yuan's physical fitness was already at an absolute disadvantage, whether it was strength or speed, both were a big chunk slower than the gatekeeper.

But!

Li Yuan still didn't unleash his Star Technique, and his spear technique erupted with another transformation compared to the fifth match.

After fighting for more than two hundred moves.

He finally unleashed the newly realized True Meaning killing move "Star Return to Ruins." When that dazzling spear light crossed the heavens and earth, he defeated the gatekeeper of the sixth checkpoint without suspense.

Won!

"Sure enough!"

"With the 'Earth Star Pulse True Explanation' as an auxiliary, the power of my spear technique is a big chunk stronger than the ordinary Fifth-Stage extreme," Li Yuan was very satisfied with the power of his spear technique.

"Only the last match left."

……

In the virtual spectator network.

When they saw Li Yuan suddenly erupt with a spear and defeat the gatekeeper of the sixth checkpoint, that group of Demigod Star Masters was completely stunned.

Not unleashing a Star Technique?

Directly defeating the gatekeeper of the sixth checkpoint? Li Yuan's spear technique level exceeded their imagination!

"Has he already condensed True Meaning? How can the power of his spear technique be so strong?" A Demigod asked a soul-searching question.
