Those who can make it to the top 16 are all extraordinary, and most of them have a high probability of becoming high-level or even top-level source warriors in the future.
For example, Yang Hong and Wu Luo, if not overshadowed by Li Yuan's brilliance, would be enough to stage a "Twin Star Rivalry" legend among the freshmen of Kunlun Wuda.
But undoubtedly, among the sixteen strong teams, there are also extremely dazzling ones. Dingtaifeng is a uniquely strong team, and the first match of the top 16 to top 8 further verified this point.
Li Yuan, Galawa, Yu Ming and Guan Ying were considered by the public to be the four strongest contenders.
This can be seen from the total score of the four in the second round, all of whom scored more than 90 points.
But most of the onlookers did not expect that just being in the top 16 would make Li Yuan and Galavati meet ahead of time.
"What's going on?"
"With their two strengths, they should have met at least in the quarterfinals, but they actually met in the first match of the fourth round. Are they targeting each other?"
The host is Xia Guo.
"Is it against Galava?" The tens of thousands of spectators in the stands were suddenly abuzz with discussion, most of whom had not paid attention to the match beforehand.
Or put it another way, the 136 elite students who made it into the third round, even if they knew their own "route", would not leak it out.
"Galava!"
"Defeat that Xia Guo person."
"Li Yuan!!" On the vast observation deck, a wave of earth-shaking cheers erupted, with both the Xia Kingdom's spectators and the Tianzhu Kingdom's spectators cheering with all their might.
"Garawa is the strongest."
"Li Yuan beats crippled Zhang San to death."
"Li Yuan!!" On the spectator screen, there were a huge number of barrage comments crazily popping up, with both sides' support quantities momentarily almost even.
No choice, in terms of the number of spectators, the only one that can rival Xia Guo is Tianzhu Guo.
One side had nearly 300,000 spectators, while the other had over 200,000, and more than half of the entire spectator stand came from these two countries.
No matter what the reason is, the duel between the two has brought the atmosphere of the battlefield to its peak.
Yu Ming and Guan Ying, among others, had their eyes wide open, staring at the two people on the stage.
Even Han Taiyue, who seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed, had actually opened a slit in the corner of his eye and was secretly watching.
Everyone knows.
Li Yuan VS Galawa, this battle will absolutely be a peak showdown of the new student war in Xue Yu.
……
The atmosphere outside the ring was explosive, but the two people on the ring were surprisingly calm.
"Li Yuan, didn't expect to run into you so soon."
"You're strong, but I'm definitely going to win." Galava had dark skin and looked very ordinary.
He had a smile on his face, but in his eyes there was a strong conviction.
"Will you definitely win?"
Li Yuan smiled and said: "I think so too, I don't want to miss a heavenly talent."
Advance into the top 16 and get a reward of 20 million Blue Star Coins.
According to the schedule, as long as they can win against their opponents, the next opponent in the quarterfinals is very weak and it's almost impossible to stop them.
Once you break into the top four, you can get a reward of heavenly material and earthly treasure.
For these martial arts geniuses, this is absolutely a stunning temptation.
Both of them were filled with longing for victory.
Both of them could feel each other's strong will to fight, and neither of them said another word.
The next moment, the battle broke out thoroughly!
"Boom!" Galawa suddenly charged, his speed bursting to the extreme, wearing dark black armor, he was like a dark shadow, ferociously pouncing on Li Yuan.
Wow!
Li Yuan held a gun in each hand, his legs spread apart, and his body slightly leaning forward, his entire person already in a defensive posture.
"Hah!"
Kalava suddenly burst into a violent drink, finally approaching, the long gun in his hand was like a poisonous snake, like a whirlpool splashing out of the water, whizzing and stabbing.
The gun shadow changed and transformed, mysterious and unpredictable, as if it had turned into dozens of residual shadows, making it difficult for people to distinguish which one was the real gun tip for a while.
Completely surrounded Li Yuan.
This move alone is enough to instantly kill all opponents below 4th rank.
Many Xia Kingdom's spectators couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this scene.
Garawa launched a surprise attack and performed too fiercely.
"Whoa! Whoa whoa!" Li Yuan's footwork changed rapidly, retreating like lightning while his long spear danced in his hand. The spearhead drew astonishing arcs of light around him, forming a huge spear circle that completely enveloped himself.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Two long spears clashed in mid-air like lightning, countless spear shadows intersecting, the exchange was too fast, and in the eyes of many onlookers, it seemed as if five or six long spears were clashing.
"The stars seem round."
"The spearhead draws a circle." Li Yuan was extremely calm, his long spear repeatedly striking out, seemingly busy and flurried as he parried Galava's attacks.
But in fact, whether it's a straight thrust or a gun rack, or a spear, a split gun, a pressure gun... Li Yuan's attack range has always been maintained within an arc-shaped range.
Within this range, no matter how fiercely Galawa attacked, he found it difficult to advance even an inch.
"As expected."
"Just as I expected, as long as I defend with all my might, this Galava won't be able to shake me in the slightest." Li Yuanfeng was calm and serene, his heart at peace.
He had thought it out beforehand and would probably win against Galava with a counterattack.
But this is not Li Yuan's goal, his true goal in mind is Langfeng Island.
What's Gala? In Li Yuan's eyes, it was just another whetstone.
If even a single Galava cannot be kept safe, how can one expect to keep the sharp blade of Dantai Feng at bay?
"Bang! Bang!" Garawa repeatedly thrust and chopped in anger, his fighting style was completely different from Kimura Tetsuo's.
He pursued a fierce and violent attack, crushing his opponents with absolute power and speed.
In the past, when facing strong opponents from the same school, his set of moves was unbeatable.
But against Li Yuan, all his attacks were in vain.
"It is said that prolonged defense will eventually lead to loss."
"How could he have fallen to this point?" Galawa was incredulous, his heart sinking to the bottom.
Attack! He has attacked to the extreme, but still can't defeat Li Yuan.
"Comfortable!" Li Yuan felt more and more at ease.
At this moment, amidst the cheers of hundreds of thousands of spectators, in this special environment, Li Yuan vaguely felt that he was getting closer and closer to thoroughly grasping that unique charm.
On the spectator platform, hundreds of thousands of students from various major martial arts universities had all been shocked by the duel between the two.
Previously, whether it was Galawa or Li Yuan, they were both unstoppable in the second round, and no one could withstand their two guns. Now that the two have met, they can actually kill each other to this extent.
One gun was fierce and violent, truly interpreting the reputation of guns as the king of the battlefield.
Another was all-defense, like an immovable great mountain, blocking the opponent's wave after wave of crazy bombing.
"Galava!!"
"Ryūjin's defense is all he can do, it's over!" The crowd in Tenjiku cheered excitedly.
"Li Yuan!"
"Li Yuan!"
"In every battle, as long as Li Yuan could hold his ground, once he counterattacked, he would easily crush the enemy." The spectators from Xia Guo firmly believed this.
……
"Galawa is going to lose." A top-tier martial arts instructor on the observation deck said in a low voice, "A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. In a gun fu showdown, the attacker should have an absolute advantage, but he can't even shake Li Yuan's defense."
"Li Yuan's skill level is obviously much higher." More teachers commented.
"The stars seem round."
"Li Yuan's marksmanship has truly captured a few points of the Starlight Gun Technique's true essence, this progress is terrifying."
"Genius!"
"His marksmanship is defensive, giving me an illusion that it's impossible to break through. According to the data, he just entered the fourth stage of technique this March? That's too ridiculous." These teachers are at least in the subtle technique stage, and many are even in the fifth stage of technique.
And how many shooting methods have you seen? Their vision is too high, and they quickly see the actual situation on the stage.
"Li Yuan's gun."
"Starlight flavor?" Li Yang as Li Yuan's teacher felt somewhat unbelievable: "His marksmanship has improved by a huge margin compared to before?"
He had previously determined that Li Yuan could not win, just because on September 30th, he had just finished teaching Li Yuan and felt that Li Yuan was still far from being meticulous.
It's been how long? A week!
"He is a true combat genius, the more battles and pressure he faces, the more his potential will be unleashed." Dean Xu said in a low voice: "Li Yang, you have really picked up a treasure, your student is a truly unbelievable shooting genius,"
"He has grasped the true meaning of the celestial realm, give him time and he will absolutely be able to enter the subtleties of the mind."
"If I said there was no hope of winning against Lang Feng before, then now...there's a 30% chance." Director Xu said affirmatively.
"Is it three o'clock?" Li Yang nodded slightly.
He was well aware that Dean Xu was a high-ranking master of the fifth rank, and was very close to becoming a flying martial artist.
The accuracy of visual judgment is beyond one's own.
"We're almost there." Principal Xu suddenly said.
Not far away.
"Galawa." The old man in black robes, 'Ba Qiang', looked at the intense battle on the stage and sighed: "What a pity, to have actually encountered Li Yuan."
As Galava's teacher and a top-ranked Genwakusou, he can see how terrifying Li Yuan is.
That unshakeable defense.
The spear was as round as a circle, steady as Mount Tai, it was really too stable, completely controlling Galava.
The conversion of offense and defense often depends on who is strong and who is weak.
"It's going to lose." The old man in black, Ba Qiang, felt a bit helpless in his heart. He thought that if Jialawa met Yu Ming or Guan Ying, he would have a chance of winning.
Only met Li Yuan.
"This Li Yuan, and Lang Taifeng have a chance of winning in one battle." Ba Qiang sighed.
……
"Garawa is going to lose." Some of the contestants in the waiting area also sensed this.
"What's with this marksmanship?" Ding Tai Feng had unknowingly opened his eyes, and his pupils shone with a hint of light: "The Starry Sky Realm?"
"How interesting!"
"Kunlun Wu Da, a master of such high caliber has actually emerged? It seems I haven't wasted my time after all."
As for Li Yuan's appearance, Dan Tai Feng did not feel worried, but rather excited.
Expectations for a showdown between strong players.
……
On the stage of the arena, Galava became more and more flustered, more and more frightened, because he found that Li Yuan's movements were becoming more and more composed.
Has already started counterattacking!
No! To be exact, it's not Li Yuan counterattacking, but rather an instinctive change in the midst of Li Yuan's gun movement.
The core of Xingchen Gun Fa is not rigid defense, but using defense as offense.
But Li Yuan's casual defensive counterattack made Galava more and more embarrassed.
"I'm going to win." Galawa gritted his teeth, still desperately attacking, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.
As time went by, his physical strength began to decline.
As the attacker, his physical strength consumption would always be greater, and his shooting speed had begun to slow down unknowingly.
Suddenly.
"Pffft!" As if it were a subconscious movement, or perhaps an intuitive connection, after blocking Galava's attack once again, Li Yuan's long spear suddenly shifted in momentum and burst forth in a swift thrust.
From defense to offense!
Seemingly perfect!
This shot, Li Yuan's mobilization of strength was much stronger than any previous one, and he had already mobilized the most subtle forces in his body.
The situation changed in an instant.
The speed of this shot suddenly soared to a terrifying level.
"Pffft!"
A gunshot pierced through the sky, and in the next second, Galava's figure had become illusory.
"Awesome." Galawa opened his mouth and his figure completely disappeared.
One shot!
Galava, defeated!
"The will of the stars." Li Yuan held his long spear, standing quietly on the spot, muttering to himself: "Guarding time is unshakeable, like the vast earth."
"Attack like stars bursting, unstoppable momentum."
After this battle with Galawa, Li Yuan's understanding of Xingchen Yijing had taken another step forward.
His gaze swept over one of the panels on the temple's facade:
Martial Arts Boundary: Gun Technique (4th stage 85%), Body Technique (4th stage 73%), Fist Technique (4th stage 86%)
Li Yuan took down the second seat in the top eight.
