Time flies, it's 11:30 in the evening now.
Each stellar frontier's combat zone has gradually shrunk to the smallest area, with a maximum diameter of 10 kilometers, and the combat range is only one percent of the original.
The entire melee match has entered its final climax stage, with intense battles erupting continuously.
In fact, nowadays on each battlefield there are less than a thousand people still alive, or some extremely powerful high-level experts, such as the Mind-Reader.
Even he is a five-segment expert.
Or, on the contrary, some teams with low strength and low ranking have been struggling all the way to the final stage.
In this kind of real-life showdown, compromise is not necessarily wrong.
Maybe they can pick up leaks and kill some injured masters. If they're lucky, they might even be able to rush into the top 100 on the battlefield.
Similarly, this is also a choice for those top geniuses to take risks and fight to the death with other super masters, competing for the first place on the battlefield.
Still stable until the end, in the knockout match to compete for another ten places in the final.
From a civilized point of view, such a course seems not entirely fair, but the different results brought about by each participant's autonomous choices are also a sharpening of their souls.
Undoubtedly, some of the most top-notch geniuses are still invincible.
Another five-set thriller erupted quickly.
"Good luck to Tong and Kunar as they face off, Kunar is the number one prodigy of Tianzhu Country, Tong's reputation also precedes him, both are third-year students at Xinghuo University."
"They were classmates, but also rivals."
"The fight is so intense."
"Not good!"
"Lost, unexpectedly lost, Kunar's hammer method is really good."
"Haha, Kunalar is really formidable, actually able to defeat the five-segment strong player of Xia Guo." The spectator stands of Tianzhu Guo's nearly ten million spectators erupted in cheers, extremely excited.
Correspondingly, there were tens of millions of spectators in Xia Guo, and the atmosphere was much more depressing.
Many onlookers were very displeased.
In an extremely short period of time, five battles between top five experts have erupted on the Ten Great Starry Sky Battlefields. Three of these battles had a genius from the Xia Nation participating, but they lost every single one of them.
Jin Huoguo, Han Tai Feng and Zhu Tong all lost their five-game matches in a row.
"Three consecutive top-level clashes, and yet can't win a single one?" Many Xia Guo spectators felt stifled.
"Is this year's championship going to be lost?"
"From another perspective, it's already quite impressive that Ding Tai Fung, as a freshman, can compete with top-level juniors from other countries."
"Our country has the most fifth-dan players in Go."
"Like Huā Qí Guó, Luō Sī Guó and Tiān Zhú Guó, so far only two five-segment experts have emerged."
"And us? Adding the yet-to-fully-explode Li Yuan, Yin Man, and Yu Mingwei, we have a total of six fifth-grade masters, accounting for nearly one-third."
"We were the strongest country on Blue Star to begin with, isn't it only right that we take up one-third of the ratio?" Many Xia Country spectators were whispering among themselves, each with a hint of discontent in their hearts.
"In the Star Boundary Battlefield where Yin Man is located, no new five-segment masters have emerged yet, and it's estimated that a five-segment war won't break out."
"Li Yuan and Yu Mingwei may also engage in fierce battles with other top five players." As time passed, the ranking became more stable, and the expectations of many spectators had changed.
I hope to see top-notch masters competing against each other.
Like summer national observers, almost all of them followed Li Yuan and Yu Mingwei.
The onlookers from other countries are also like this, and Li Yuan's followers have unknowingly broken through 3 million.
……
"Tong Qingshi's senior brother lost and died in battle directly."
"Guanshu Yun's sister didn't die, but she was injured in this chaotic battle. Her points have gradually dropped out of the top ten, but stabilizing in the top hundred shouldn't be a problem." In the Kunlun Wu University student spectator area, everyone was discussing this.
Along with Kunlun Wu's one by one genius being eliminated.
Li Yuan has unknowingly become the most dazzling genius among the living in the Kunlun Wu Da mixed battle, and also the only one still in the top ten on the battlefield.
Suddenly.
"It's a collision! It's a collision! Li Yuan and Hoffman have met, the big battle is about to begin!"
"Both sides have seen each other." Many students of Kunlun Wu University noticed this scene and their hearts were all in their throats.
Another five-set battle is about to erupt.
One of them is Kunlun Wu's most dazzling genius in decades, 'Li Yuan'.
"Brother Jin, who do you think will win?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Win?" Jin Hu Guo had returned to the spectator's platform, looking at the two figures on the giant light screen in mid-air: "Hofmann is famous for being one of the strongest in Huaxia, second only to Hamon. He broke through early and should be stronger than Li Yuan, who only broke through three months ago... But Li Yuan is best at creating miracles, perhaps this time he can create another miracle."
……
"Da Zhuang, who do you think will win?" asked Ding Tai Feng, also seated in the spectator's seat, looking at the two about to engage.
"I hope Li Yuan can win." Tian Da Zhuang said reasonably: "But judging from common sense, Hoffmann should be stronger."
"Hoffman is done for." said Dantai Feng with a smile.
"Why?" Tian Dazhuang was puzzled, and he didn't know that Li Yuan had already been confirmed as the second-class Martial God inheritance quota.
"Because Li Yuan lost to me before." Ding Tai Feng said matter-of-factly, "So, as long as Li Yuan can beat Hoffmann, it's equivalent to me beating Hoffmann."
"Hoffman is a dead man." said Taito with a cold tone.
"My god, what logic."
……
"Encountered, both sides began to get close, this is our Xia Guo's fourth five-game showdown in the mixed team competition."
"Can we win?"
"Li Yuan's performance showed great strength, previously he had easily swept aside other top players."
"Li Yuan's last battle against the newcomer, Lan Tai Feng, ended in defeat... and even Lan Tai Feng himself has fallen. I always felt that something was off, but it seems that Yin Man is still the most stable." The many spectators from Xia Guo looked up at the massive light screen, their breaths somewhat short.
No choice, Li Yuan's reputation wasn't big enough to begin with, and he was so young.
……
"Hoffman should be able to win."
"Hoffman broke through a long time ago, Li Yuan only had his epiphany three months ago and probably just entered the fifth stage, he's already very talented."
"Li Yuan's chances of winning are very slim." This is the common thought among the vast majority of participants from all over the world.
"Li Yuan beats other four players easily, but he will definitely lose when facing the strong Hoffman."
"Hoffman is a match for Harmon, and if Harmon can beat Kim, Hoffman can beat Lee." The crowd from the US and Europe went wild.
Hammon previously defeated Kim Hyeon-woo.
Now they naturally hope Hoffmann will continue this victory!
……
In a higher-dimensional space for observation and combat.
"Li Yuan, it's time to take on Hoffman."
"This is Li Yuan's first five-game match." More than 100,000 yuan martial artists are staring at this game.
Dozens of flying warriors were also concerned and wanted to figure out why Xingzhu was so concerned about Li Yuan.
Perhaps the answer can be found in this five-set battle.
……
The outside world is already in the spotlight.
But in the Seventh Starfield Battlefield, Li Yuan and Hoffman apparently didn't have this awareness.
They met early on, but were still a hundred meters apart, observing each other and trying to find the other's weakness.
Five rounds of confrontation, naturally cautious.
"Li Yuan, I didn't expect my first five-set opponent to be you." Hoffman smiled and said: "Your breakthrough time is probably very short, you won't be my opponent."
"What's so great about being older? If I were as old as you, I would have gone to Fei Xing long ago and wouldn't be back to participate in the Blue Star Competition." Li Yuan shrugged, nonchalantly.
Hoffman's expression changed slightly.
The Global High School Martial Arts Tournament, also commonly known as the "Blue Star Tournament", is limited to within Blue Star.
In fact, once selected into the Martial God lineage, they will no longer participate in the Blue Star Tournament, mostly only participating in the Human Martial Arts Elite War, which is a multi-venue showdown of top geniuses from the seven major planets.
"Hmph, let me see just how strong this genius from the Xia Country is." Hofmann's eyes were icy cold: "I hope you don't disappoint me."
"This sentence should be said by you and me." Li Yuan smiled: "After all, I am the first on the battlefield, and you are only the second on the battlefield."
"I hope you're not too weak." Li Yuan said calmly.
Hoffman was just about to continue speaking.
"Enough of this nonsense!" Li Yuan suddenly let out a loud roar and transformed into a streak of light that shot towards him with killing intent.
Li Yuan's speed soared to nearly 80m/s in the blink of an eye.
Go all out.
"Too fast." Hoffman's face was solemn. They had similar physical qualities, the difference in power and speed was entirely due to their realm.
The higher the boundary, the stronger the physical strength excavation.
After the fifth stage of skill, the body gradually merges with the heavens and the earth. The power seems to be no stronger, but the air resistance received will decrease dramatically, so the displayed speed will also be more exaggerated.
"Whoosh!"
The long spear was like a dragon, Li Yuan burst out and shot over with a single spear that flashed like lightning.
Horizontal thrust! The simplest spear technique, yet it contains the most terrifying power.
Simplicity is strength.
"Whoa!" Hoffman instantly drew his sword, the blade flashing extremely fast, and suddenly touched the long gun, a terrifying force bursting out from the long knife, causing the gun tip to shift instantly.
"Ah!"
Li Yuan seemed to have anticipated this, and as the gun moved, his long spear shook, transforming into a vast array of spear shadows that descended upon Hoffman, who swiftly retreated backwards with an eerie agility.
"Boom!" Li Yuan took advantage of the momentum and advanced again, his long spear whistling as he pursued and killed.
The terrifying force burst forth, causing rocks along the way to shatter into pieces, and even the ground cracked open.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
"Boom! Boom!" One after another, the terrifying clashes, Li Yuan completely occupied the upper hand, his long spear dancing like rolling stars crushing down, either with a straight thrust, or with an angry slash, or with a horizontal sweep, completely overwhelming Hoffman.
For a time, the two men's battle was extremely fierce.
"Too violent."
"His gun and the other marksmen I've seen are completely different, layer upon layer of overwhelming force, truly overbearing, not at all like a beginner in the fifth stage." Hoffman tried to struggle back.
He had to admit that in just a few dozen exchanges, he was being beaten by Li Yuan in a head-on confrontation.
Li Yuan's gun is very overbearing.
……
"Wow! Li Yuan is so powerful."
"I'm going to change my attitude, this year's freshman class, the most dazzling one is not Han Tingfeng, but Li Yuan!!"
"Hoffman's reputation is well-known, but he was actually beaten by Li Yuan? What a villain!"
"Li Yuan's marksmanship is fierce, is this his true strength? I love it!" The hundreds of millions of spectators in Xia Guo were excited beyond measure, and many people couldn't help but stand up.
"What a tyrannical shooting technique, the will of the stars! It's truly 'the gun is like the stars.' There was a glint in Jin Hu Guo's eyes: "Li Yuan's strength has indeed surpassed mine."
"Haha, I said Hoffman is no match for Li Yuan." Ding Tai's expression was calm as he said, "It's just a bit of a pity."
"What a pity?" Tian Dazhuang was stunned for a moment.
"At this moment when everyone's attention is focused, it wasn't me who completed it." said Dantai Feng with a hint of regret.
……
"How can Hoffman be so weak?"
"Or is Li Yuan too strong?" The spectators from Huajing felt uncomfortable and full of worry.
Hoffman blows so hard, how can he be so useless?
……
"With just one sword, I couldn't defeat him, and my strength was getting weaker and weaker." Hoffman's eyes were icy cold.
A master's duel is extremely important for momentum, sometimes it's all about a single surge of energy.
This is what it means to use one's power to oppress others.
"If things go on like this, I will undoubtedly lose."
"No way, I can only explode." Hoffman's eyes flashed with ferocity: "Originally wanted to stay in the final and explode, but I'll take you down first."
He didn't take Li Yuan seriously before, thinking that Li Yuan had just broken through five dan and could be easily dealt with.
After all, normally speaking, for martial arts geniuses like them, even if they have an astonishing understanding, after entering the fifth stage, being able to break through from the initial stage of the fifth stage to the middle stage within a year is already pretty good.
What about a newly promoted 5-dan master?
But Li Yuan burst out with all his might, and his strength far exceeded Hoffmann's imagination, giving him a feeling that was not inferior to Hamon at all, but even more fierce and violent.
Wow!
Hoffman jumped high again, and the war knife in his hand suddenly flew out, like a huge hidden projectile shooting towards Li Yuan at an astonishing speed that was almost close to the speed of sound.
"Clang!" Li Yuan's long spear shook, and with a single move, he sent the flying knife flying off to one side.
Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt in his heart.
What's wrong with Hoffman? He even lost his gun?
"Haha, Li Yuan, very good." Hoffman retreated violently at the same time, and had already pulled out two curved knives from behind his back again, even more compact, even more agile.
The whole person fell on a huge rock.
"I originally wanted to explode in the final, but your strength is worth my all-out effort." Hoffman's eyes shone brightly: "I will use my strongest power to defeat you."
Boom!
Hoffman was like a flash of lightning, and in an instant he appeared before Li Yuan, two silver lights flashing towards him.
"Clang!" "Clang!"
"Clang!" Li Yuan countered with a fierce attack, his long spear transforming and flashing like lightning to deflect the opponent's curved knife attacks.
The knife method is continuous and fast, shocking people.
If Hoffmann's previous single sword was just simply ferocious, then his current two curved knives... Individually, the power of one knife is not as strong as before, but when combined, the power is explosively increased.
And his movements have also undergone significant changes, becoming more agile and varied, completely surpassing Li Yuan's movements.
"Quite a ghostly movement."
"This is absolutely his most skilled way of fighting with the double-curved knife." Li Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable, and for a moment was completely suppressed.
A five-dan expert can quickly reach a five-dan level with any weapon, so they don't have any obvious weaknesses.
But also just no weakness.
Each of the five top masters has their own strongest point and most suitable weapon... When using these weapons, they can fully explode their strength, making the harmony between moves and heaven and earth higher, and the power more terrifying.
Hoffman, it's like this right now.
At this time, Li Yuan was completely suppressed by his opponent. Although Li Yuan's gun was longer, it was much slower than Hoffmann's in terms of speed.
"Clang!"
A curved knife hooked onto the long spear, a ghostly figure closed in, another curved knife whizzed by, attempting to sweep across Li Yuan's neck.
Boom!
Li Yuan flashed back like lightning, suddenly drawing his gun and retreating, but this curved knife still cut across his shoulder.
"A slash ~" flashed across a shocking blood mark, and fresh blood splattered.
Li Yuan's mind stirred, his muscles locked in place, and immediately the fresh blood stopped flowing.
"Li Yuan, admit defeat." Hoffman's eyes were filled with excitement: "You can't withstand my attack."
"Is that so?" Li Yuan was injured, but he didn't show any panic, his fighting spirit still soared to the sky, and his eyes were filled with excitement: "Before I participated in the tournament, I always thought about who could bring out my strongest state. Hoffman, you are the first one."
"It's really good."
"The purpose of the tournament is to converse with the strong and hone oneself." Li Yuan smiled, his long gun slanted: "Come on, let me try your attack again."
"Hogwash." Hoffman snorted, and naturally wouldn't be intimidated by Li Yuan's words.
Boom!
The two sides were only tens of meters apart, Hoffman's body flashed, in less than a second, he was already rushing towards Li Yuan again.
Two dazzling knife lights flashed across the sky.
"Clang!" "Clang!" The gun muzzle burst forth, whizzing as it arrived, easily blocking the two knife lights' attack.
"Hah!" Hoffman let out a loud shout, his body twisting and turning, the light from his knife becoming blurry, as if he had merged with the heavens and earth. With a curved knife, he struck at Li Yuan with all his might.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Clang!" The two clashed repeatedly, but the situation had completely changed. No matter how fiercely Hoffman attacked, Li Yuan's body only burst out with dazzling gun flashes.
Gun muzzle like starlight, again and again blocked Hoffman's attack, motionless as a mountain.
Invincible
"How can his defense suddenly become so strong?" Hoffman was incredulous, he had already gone all out to the extreme, but still couldn't shake Li Yuan.
Of course, Li Yuan's shooting technique has changed greatly. In a state of all-out defense, he is also unable to pose a threat to Hofmann.
……
"Too wonderful."
"This great war is much more intense than the previous five wars."
"It's evenly matched!" The hundreds of millions of spectators in the arena held their breath.
At the beginning of the game, both sides attacked each other, and Li Yuan had the upper hand. When Hoffmann burst out, Li Yuan fell into a disadvantage.
Finally, Li Yuan revealed his strongest defensive stance and easily blocked Hoffmann's attack.
However, Li Yuan seems to be able to defend against Hoffmann but has difficulty in killing him.
……
"Li Yuan's realm should be higher."
"Hmm, to be able to comprehend the will of the stars to this extent, he's only one step away from reaching the middle stage of the fifth rank. Li Yuan is stronger than Ding Taifeng, Jin Hongguo and Ha Meng, impressive!"
"Li Yuan is good at defense."
"If it were a one-on-one match, Hoffman would undoubtedly lose... but this is a melee, and although Li Yuan can easily defend himself, he has no way to force Hoffman into a desperate fight." Those flying warriors in the higher-level spectator space could see this point clearly.
Their boundary is too high, at least they are all five-stage perfect skills.
They can see that Li Yuan is slightly better in terms of realm, but he excels at defense and doesn't have a fundamental difference with Hofmann.
"It seems like this battle is going to end in a draw." Dean Xu said in a low voice.
"That's enough." Li Yang was more than satisfied, and smiled: "How long has Li Yuan been in the fifth stage? Less than two months, he has already reached the limit of the early stages of the fifth stage."
"With this super strong defense, I can already charge into the top ten or even top five." Li Yang's eyes shone brightly.
Li Yuan's revealed strength is even stronger than he previously expected.
"Yes, strong defense, very dominant in the final match." Dean Xu also nodded in agreement.
……
The Seventh Star Boundary Battlefield, in the endless mountain forest.
Boom! Boom! Li Yuan and Hoffman are still fighting fiercely.
The terrifying aftermath of their battle echoed, transmitting to several kilometers around, even attracting other surviving participants on the battlefield, but when they saw the two parties clearly, no one dared to approach.
At least seven or eight hundred meters away from the battlefield.
"Hua hua hua!" Hoffman's knife flashed like flowing water, repeatedly tilting against Li Yuan's gun defense circle, repeatedly returning without success.
But he continued to attack fiercely.
Li Yuan, on the other hand, was fully defensive, interpreting the core of Xingchen Gun Method's 'Xingchen Qiming' to the extreme.
Her body is like the stars!
Standing firmly on the earth, unshakeable.
Gradually, Li Yuan felt a strange and inexplicable fluctuation.
"Stars shine bright, shine!"
"Stardust is fine, bursting forth in threads of faint light, when the rays gather it's like a star. Li Yuan repeatedly displayed his gun techniques, and crazily exchanged blows with Hoffman."
This kind of fierce and intense battle with a high-level master was something that Li Yuan had not experienced in a long time.
Hoffman's knife skills were inspired by Li Yuan's repeated polishing of his shooting techniques.
"Sparkle!"
"Eureka!" Li Yuan finally grasped the fleeting insight in his mind, thoroughly understanding the key to the third layer of "Starry Intent" - "River of Stars Convergence".
Suddenly.
"Boom!" Li Yuan's long spear suddenly changed, its tip flashing and becoming even more dazzling. It transformed into a trail of starlight, as if it was a river of stars streaking across the sky.
The Will of the Stars - Star River!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Fearsome marksmanship burst forth, shot after shot, like a starry river flowing backwards, with boundless power, instantly turning from defense to offense, fiercely charging towards Hoffman.
"Clang!"
At the first shot, Hoffman's face changed color. He could clearly feel that Li Yuan's shooting skills had changed, becoming faster and more powerful... This was a clear transformation.
Then came the second shot, the third shot, the fourth shot... The terrible power contained in the shooting technique completely crushed him.
The two sides are no longer on the same level.
"Fall back!"
"Escape!" Hoffman's mind flashed with this thought, and his body suddenly retreated in an attempt to flee far away.
He no longer had the idea of killing Li Yuan.
Boom!
But he flashed back, Li Yuan's explosive speed was even faster, his body shape rapidly accelerated to over 80m/s, the long gun whizzed and stabbed again.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Another series of lightning-fast collisions.
"Rip!" A gunshot rang out, and Hoffman's arm flew off with a loud crash, blood splattering everywhere.
Wow!
Another shot flashed out like lightning.
"Hmph!"
The tip of the sword flashed across Hoffman's neck, and in an instant, it was gone, without even a drop of blood flowing out.
Wow!
Li Yuan had already drifted tens of meters away before stopping for a moment and then directly walking towards the distance.
The outcome is already decided!
On this side, Hoffman tried to clutch his throat, but blood gushed out, he opened his mouth, but couldn't make any sound.
Clang... Clang... The last sword fell to the ground.
Pom-poms
Hoffman's body crashes heavily to the ground!
This war ultimately ended with Li Yuan's victory, and also announced the birth of the strongest in the Seventh Star Realm.
……
"Rifles like starry rivers!"
"This! This! Unbelievable!"
"He's just a freshman, probably only eighteen and a half years old, and his marksmanship has already reached this level?"
"Mid-tier of the fifth stage!! A freshman can reach this level?" The dozens of flying warriors and thousands of top-level Yuanwu practitioners from all over the world in the higher spectator space were all amazed.
