Virtual network.
The new student war of the ten schools was held on the Starry Sky Net, and after entering the second round, a special battle space was opened to allow all school spectators to enter and watch.
8 o'clock in the morning.
Li Yuan entered the Starry Sky Battle Network because his identity had already been registered, so he could directly enter the 'Ten Schools New Student War Space'.
Whoosh!
A flash of light before his eyes, and Li Yuan found himself in a huge arena space.
In the very center is a circular arena with a diameter of over 200 meters.
All around were dense crowds of onlookers, a sea of people that probably exceeded 100,000.
Li Yuan was sitting in the spectator area very close to the ring.
"Yuan Ge, you've finally arrived." Gu Qianghan was sitting in front, excitedly laughing and saying: "The competition is about to start, and yet you, a seeded player, didn't arrive early."
"Big Brother!"
"Big Brother Master." The densely packed seats around them were all new students of the Sixth Institute.
Further away? Li Yuan's gaze swept across and found many familiar figures, who were freshmen from other colleges.
There are many people.
"Li Yuan, jiayou!" A shout suddenly came from behind Li Yuan.
Li Yuan turned his head and looked over, unable to help but reveal a hint of a smile. The one calling out to him was Qiu Jing, his senior sister.
She is gathering with many sophomores.
"How come there are so many people?" Li Yuan turned around and sat back down, unable to help but ask.
"Master brother, didn't you come to watch the battle yesterday?" An Nong asked with a smile.
Li Yuan shook his head.
With the presence of Lang Tai Feng, this super expert, it's extremely difficult to take down the first place, so I don't dare to relax.
Yesterday, I was still fully devoted to self-cultivation.
"The ones participating in the war are just students from our ten schools, plus a few external card students." Gu Jian explained: "But those who are watching, apart from students from our ten schools, also have permission to watch are students from the three top-level martial arts schools."
Li Yuan suddenly understood.
No wonder Lin Lan Yue said two nights ago that she would come and watch after making it to the finals.
"In addition, the countries participating in the war, such as Xia Guo, Sakura Guo, Dongmeng, Tianzhu Guo... will also allow students from ordinary martial arts universities of their respective countries to observe and learn. An Nong smiled: "Like our country's twenty-nine ordinary martial arts universities, students can come to observe."
"Only freshmen can participate in the war, but sophomores to seniors can also watch."
"So."
"Theoretically, the number of onlookers could exceed 3 million people." An Nong sighed and lamented: "Of course, it's just theoretical. Students above junior level basically won't pay attention."
"Mostly freshmen and some sophomores."
But just yesterday, the number of spectators at the highest peak also exceeded 200,000.
"Today is a chaotic battle in the cage, even more wonderful. According to past data, it shouldn't be difficult for the number of spectators to exceed 500,000." An Nong smiled and said.
Li Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes scanning further away on the spectator's stand, as if more 'spectator seats' were appearing.
500,000 people watching? How terrifying!
To know that this virtual watch is not in front of the screen, but truly simulates 'arena watching', with one more person, there will be one more spectator seat.
Fortunately, this is a virtual network, and building a virtual combat platform is easy.
If it were in reality, there would be no venue that could accommodate an audience of one million.
"The cage is chaotic, with ten matches in the morning and ten matches in the afternoon." Gu Qiang couldn't help but ask: "Yuan Ge, which match are you in?"
"Three and seventeen." Li Yuan said with a smile.
After the first round ended yesterday, all students who entered the second round received their battle order.
"I'm sixth and twelfth." An Nong said helplessly beside him.
"Being able to advance to the second round is not bad." Li Yuan smiled and said: "Better than Gu Yong."
"Damn it! Yuan Ge, don't say that, I was ranked over 3,000 in the first round and just missed advancing to the second round by a hair." Gu Qiang couldn't help but say.
A group of people next to them all laughed.
Li Yuan also smiled.
"Our school has 6 departments, with 67 people entering the second round, ranking second among the eight departments in terms of number of people." An Nong introduced to Li Yuan: "The entire school, a total of 453 people entered the second round, ranking first among the ten schools."
"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Looking globally, Kunlun Wu is considered one of the top martial arts universities, second only to the three major top-tier martial arts schools.
Considered one of the top five.
Of course, this world's top five martial arts university is a bit far from the world's top three.
Time flies.
As the regular season time is getting closer and closer, the number of spectators is also increasing. When the time comes to 8:30, the number of spectators has exceeded 4 million people, and it is constantly approaching 5 million people.
400,000 people gathered on a spectator platform? What concept is this?
It was truly packed with people, and the atmosphere of the entire arena was extremely intense.
Students from various universities were engaged in heated discussions.
Finally, 8:30
Although the time zones of various countries are slightly different, they are not far apart in reality, so the impact is not great.
Wow!
A gigantic ray of light flashed across the sky hundreds of meters high, followed by a huge light screen appearing in the air above the spectator stands, all aimed at every corner of the central arena.
Allow spectators sitting in any position around the arena to see everything on the arena clearly.
Even in front of each spectator, there is a manually adjustable 'spectator screen'.
Each audience can watch through the light curtain and send 'bullet screen' in real time.
"A warm welcome to students from various prestigious martial arts schools." A low, solemn voice sounded.
A burly man in a black robe appeared on the stage, with a 'Wu' character engraved on his chest.
His voice also spread throughout the entire battlefield.
"Today is the second round of our Ten Schools Newcomer War, and also the most exciting 'Cage Battle'. A loud voice boomed: "The 1997 elite students from the top ten schools will compete with three martial arts geniuses from Xinghuo University for 136 spots in the elimination tournament."
"The rules are as follows:"
……
"Alright, that's all the rules, participants just need to know them." The host, a robust and tall man, smiled and said: "For our live audience, there is only one thing you need to know."
"Cage match, winner takes all!"
"This is the cruelest showdown, this is the most brutal test." The burly man's voice was fervent: "Only the strongest can survive to the end."
"Now, I declare that the second round of 'Cage Match' for new students in ten schools has officially begun."
Boom! The music resounded through the sky.
The spectator area, which had already exceeded 500,000 people, suddenly erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.
"What enthusiasm!" Li Yuan couldn't help but feel moved, it was still his first time experiencing so many people watching.
"When the crowd exceeds ten thousand, it's a sea of people." Gu Jian Xiao smiled and said: "Yuan Ge, you should know that most of these spectators are ordinary students from various martial arts universities. They're basically just here to watch the excitement, as long as their country's student wins, they'll be happy."
Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.
Spectators all have their own stance, hoping for their own school's people to win.
But like students from Jiangbei Wuda coming to watch the battle? As long as Xia Guoren wins, they will all support him.
The shouting gradually subsided.
"The first round." The burly man's voice burst forth like thunder: "The battle begins."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The students who were originally watching from the arena had instantly disappeared and entered the 'Preparation Space'.
Of course, the disappearance of 200 students is negligible compared to an audience of over 500,000 people.
Just 15 seconds later.
Suddenly! Two hundred people holding weapons and armor appeared on the stage at the same time, all standing at the edge of the stage, forming a huge circle.
At the same time, on the huge light screen above the arena, the names of 200 people appeared.
Total Points Ranking
The top 8 and top 136 are marked with special colors.
Total score in the top 8, directly into the fourth round.
Total score of 136 or more can enter the third round.
……
All participants appear instantly.
Suddenly, the stage was filled with cheers and shouts of "Come on!" from various schools, like waves.
"Yang Hong!"
"Yang Hong! Jiayou!" Some students of Kunlun Wu Da shouted out in unison.
In the first round, Kunlun Wu had dozens of students on stage, but the strongest was Yang Hong.
However, there is no separate introduction of contestants segment.
So, no single student's voice was particularly loud, with countless voices echoing in the empty stands, making quite a racket.
"Galawa." Li Yuan's gaze swept over and saw that unremarkable figure.
Dark complexion, over 1.7 meters tall, ordinary face, extremely inconspicuous.
Holding a long spear in hand.
Yang Hong is in trouble.
"Not good." It wasn't just Li Yuan who discovered Galawa, many of the elite students at Kunlun Wu Da also recognized him.
Yang Hong himself also discovered it.
……
On the stage, the countdown ended in just ten seconds.
"It begins." The burly man let out a low roar and flew up into the air, not affecting the combatants' battle.
At the same time, 200 participants felt their physical restraints being released simultaneously.
"Boom!" The cage erupted into chaos in an instant.
It was as if they had a great tacit understanding, whoosh! The more than ten warriors beside Galawa all rushed towards the distance like residual shadows.
Like a tiger entering a pack of wolves, no one dares to take the initiative to fight with Galawa.
Students who can enter the second round are no fools.
For the top few masters, most people are aware of them.
Boom!
That dark-skinned young man seemed to have anticipated it, his body flashed like lightning and rushed towards the place with the most people in an instant.
"Pffft!" "Pffft!" The gun shadow changed and in an instant a famous expert fell to the ground.
"Retreat?"
"My goal is to directly get the first place in the second round's points." Galawa thought very clearly, his eyes calm: "None of Xia Guo's top players are here, no one will be my opponent."
"Kill them all!"
Surround him? With over a hundred people joining forces, it's more likely that he'll single-handedly sweep them all away.
Fierce fighting is going on.
Galava's score also surged rapidly, directly soaring to 'total score first', and far surpassed the second place.
"Galava!"
"Galava!" This scene made the more than 100,000 students from Tenjiku who were watching the game completely erupt, bursting out a deafening cheer that instantly drowned out all other sounds on the spectator stands.
Garawa is too dominant.
At the same time, on the spectator screen, it has also been brushed by countless Tianzhong students.
"India is the strongest!"
"Garawa is the strongest!"
"We Tianzhu are the first! Defeat Xia Guo people! Take down the first!"
"Galava!" Countless comments rolled in, and it was clear that the Tianzhu students were more excited than ever at this moment.
……
The first round, Galava undoubtedly lived until the end.
The fiercest battle was unfolding between him and Yang Hong.
However, what was said to be the most intense fight did not last more than ten moves before Yang Hong was killed.
Gallinari scored 52 points! Temporarily ranked first in total score!
Yang Hong 14 points, temporarily ranked second in total score.
The vast majority of participants' scores were 0.
……
The second match did not have a particularly strong and crushing high hand, the most dazzling one was 'Tatsuhiro Kimura' from Sakura Country, who also used a long spear.
Finally got 31 points, temporarily ranked second in total score.
A spectator stand capable of holding hundreds of thousands of people erupted in cheers from tens of thousands of students from Sakura.
"Kimura-kun!"
"Kimura is too strong, I think he's no weaker than Galahad in the first game, maybe even the strongest."
"The Strongest Kimura."
"Kimura will definitely take first place in the end." A large number of comments rolled across the spectator screen.
……
The third round, accompanied by the majestic host's "start".
200 warriors have emerged from the standby space and appeared on the arena.
Immediately, tens of thousands of spectators looked back.
"Big Brother Master."
"Where is Li Yuan?"
"Huh? Why can't I see Senior Brother?" The thousands of students at Kunlun Wu Dadao were all searching for Li Yuan's figure.
But for a while, it was nowhere to be found.
"What the...! Master Brother is wearing a mask, afraid of being recognized? Master Brother is so sinister."
"Not just Li Yuan wore it, others in school also wore it."
"This seems to be Annon's idea from earlier, urgently contacting other colleges that participated in the third round."
"No names were mentioned, and more than a dozen people wore masks. People from other schools couldn't recognize Master Brother in such a short time."
"An Nong 666!"
"The battle has begun."
