If we say that Li Yuan and Hoffman's first encounter was just a flash in the eyes of these flying warriors and top-level Yuan Wu Zhe, it can't be said to be too surprising.

  Then, when he saw Li Yuan's true meaning of 'Starry River Gathering' gun technique easily defeat Hoffman.

  Including dozens of flying warriors, everyone in this higher-level spectator space was amazed and even shocked.

  The more advanced the skill is, the harder it gets.

  Like Yin Man, Ha Mon, Hoffman, Jin Huguo, Kunare and others, each one can be considered a top genius on Blue Star. Normally, Blue Star only produces ten to twenty such geniuses in a year.

  They go from beginner to advanced in just over a year.

  From spiritual subtlety to the five elements of the initial stage?

  In the case where their physical quality is higher and their spiritual power generally reaches above level 20, it usually takes more than a year.

  From 5 dan beginner to breaking through 5 dan intermediate? The progress will be slower.

  After all, having five initial stage techniques is already enough to become a top-level Yuan Wu practitioner.

  Then comes the fifth stage of high-level and fifth stage of perfection... Every step forward is a breakthrough, and the difficulty increases exponentially.

  Under normal circumstances, geniuses like these Blue Star top talents can reach the Five Elemental Complete Technique within the next decade (before they turn 30) and become a Flying Heavens martial artist... even if they are extremely successful.

  Even many people will be stuck in five-tier high-level skills.

  Improvement of skills is never a matter of just spending time, it's about making breakthroughs.

  Many so-called martial arts geniuses, after reaching a certain limit, often get stuck in a bottleneck that is hard to break through, because this bottleneck is also their innate bottleneck.

  From five paragraphs to six? It's even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

  Many flying warriors, when they were young, shone with a brilliance that was in no way inferior to Hamon's. At the time of their source martial arts, they had already reached the fifth rank of perfection, but after entering the realm of flight, they transformed into flying-level spirits... and still couldn't break through the sixth rank of skills.

  Many flying warriors in human civilization have skills that haven't reached the sixth level.

  Li Yuan, how old is he?

  "Yin Man and Ha Mon were able to enter the fifth grade in their sophomore year, which is already extremely rare. In the Blue Star competition, there are only one or two such cases each year, and some years not even one."

  "It's already very rare for a planet like ours to produce someone like Langtai Feng every few years."

  "Li Yuan is even more freakish, his age is younger than Han Tingfeng's, but his progress is faster. Calculating it, he only had a spiritual epiphany three months ago? That's too fast."

  "Could he be another Fang Hai, a genius of that level?"

  "I think he's stronger than Yu Jinghe!"

  "Yu Jinghe's performance in the Blue Star Competition that year was slightly better than Han Tingfeng's, but not by much."

  " Xia Guo, is another star master about to be born?"

  "Cheng Xingzhu? I think it's difficult!" Many flying warriors couldn't help but discuss and even argue about it.

  Facing Ding Tai Feng, they can still barely maintain a condescending attitude, at least very calmly.

  But Li Yuan? Too demonic.

  He crossed into the fifth stage in his freshman year. Since the establishment of the Wudao College Entrance Examination on Blue Star, there are only a handful of people who have achieved such achievements.

  "No wonder the stars mainly came to watch Li Yuan."

  "The Star Master indeed has foresight." Many flying warriors couldn't help but look towards the black-robed figure.

  Suddenly.

  The mysterious black-clad figure sitting in the chair suddenly vanished into thin air.

  Apparently, in this melee match, he has seen what he wanted to see.

  "Heh heh."

  "Gentlemen." Dean Hai smiled faintly: "This is a student I taught myself."

  "Old Hai, you've made another big profit!"

  "What a crappy luck."

  "I'll go back and check, how come our Starry Sky University didn't recruit him before?" The other flying swordsmen couldn't help but laugh and scold.

  They are all the backbone of human civilization. Although they belong to different countries and forces in name, most of them have a good relationship with each other, and many are even bound by life and death.

  These flying warriors are very clear that when facing an alien civilization, there is only one label on their bodies - the Seven-Star Human Civilization.

  ……

  "Good dog."

  Liyang listened to Hai's boasting and couldn't help but whisper, "He taught? What did he teach? Weren't we the ones who practiced hard?"

  "He just fishes by the lake every day." Li Yang complained nonstop.

  "You have such a big opinion, or should I go and respond to Dean Hai?" Dean Xu revealed a smile.

  "That's enough, sister." Li Yang smiled and said: "Let's just talk and laugh, don't joke about our future prospects."

  Director Xu shook her head and smiled wryly, she understood Li Yang's personality.

  "Li Yuan's marksmanship is indeed terrifying." Dean Xu looked at Li Yuan on the light screen and couldn't help but sigh: "A fifth-level intermediate, even if it's a flying heaven-level soul, this progress is too fast."

  "It's indeed too fast." Li Yang couldn't help but say.

  Flying Soul Level? Just an auxiliary.

  The key lies in Li Yuan's own transformation of his understanding.

  "At this rate of progress, I believe we'll be surpassed by them next year." said Li Yang.

  Director Xu nodded slightly.

  They both have fifth-degree black belts in high-level skills.

  In terms of technical skills, compared to Li Yuan now, there is no overwhelming advantage.

  "Can we make a breakthrough first?" Dean Xu's eyes had a hint of light.

  "It's hard to say." Li Yang shook his head slightly: "So far, the Nevskey of Russia has burst out with five mid-tier powers... Hamon, Yin Man and a few others may have broken through, or maybe they haven't."

  "All I can say is that Li Yuan has a good chance." Lei Yang said: "After all, there are still ten days before the final."

  "At Li Yuan's rate of progress, in ten days he'll probably catch up with what others take several months to achieve."

  They both had a glimmer of expectation in their hearts.

  Virtual Battle Champion?

  Since 2009, when the virtual battles of the Global High School Martial Arts Tournament were held, the championship has been circulating among the three top martial arts schools: Starry Sky University, Starfire University, and Blackstone University.

  If Kunlun Wu Da can win this year, it will be the first time in school history.

  ……

  In the arena, those hundreds of millions of spectators had thoroughly boiled over.

  "We won!"

  "Li Yuan not only blocked Hoffman's attack but also counter-killed him? His final burst of gunfire was so strong!"

  "When both sides were attacking each other earlier, Hoffmann was still able to suppress him, and Li Yuan just barely held on, but suddenly burst out and killed Hoffmann."

  "With Hoffmann's strength, even if he couldn't defeat him, it shouldn't be difficult to escape, but Li Yuan's final burst of speed was over 80m/s, which is almost as fast as a normal 18th-level martial artist."

  Fierce.

  "Hoffman, he's a five-segment master on par with Harmon." The countless spectators were fiercely debating.

  In previous five-set matches, there were winners and losers.

  But mostly barely won.

  The only one that can be compared with Li Yuan's game is Neffsky defeating Han Tian Feng, and Neffsky also won very easily.

  But in the end, Da Tongfeng is still a freshman, his reputation seems big, but in the hearts of most participants, he is still not as good as Hoffman.

  It was expected beforehand that Hoffmann would at least make the top ten, possibly even the top three or first place.

  But was easily beheaded by Li Yuan now.

  How strong is Li Yuan's strength?

  ……

  "Li Yuan, you have the hope of being the first to break through!" Jin Hu Guo's eyes shone with light: "Awesome! You can achieve this in just your freshman year!"

  Jin Huguo had always admired Li Yuan deeply.

  ……

  "Is he the strongest of the first impact? Is Li Yuan that powerful?" Tian Da Zhuang was shocked by Ding Tai Feng's words: "Is he even stronger than Master Yan Man?"

  Yin Man is very famous in Xinghuo University.

  "It's hard to say."

  "Yin Man is quite strong, but she may not have reached the middle of the fifth stage." Lang Tai said: "Besides, even if she was in the middle of the fifth stage, what's the big deal?"

  Dantai Feng shrugged: "From the fifth stage of the middle stage to the fifth stage of the high stage, it normally takes several years, what's the point of breaking through a few months early?"

  "With ten days left until the finals, who knows how much progress Li Yuan will make?" said Ding Tai Feng.

  Tian Dazhuang nodded involuntarily.

  Li Yuan's most astonishing aspect is his shocking rate of progress.

  Others become slower and slower as they go along, often getting bogged down.

  Li Yuan? He is becoming more and more exaggerated, progressing faster and faster, shining brighter and brighter.

  Suddenly.

  "I suddenly kind of hope I won't be drafted by Flying Star this year." Lan Tai Feng sighed.

  "What's wrong with you?" Tian Dasong was taken aback.

  "I'm not going to Flying Star this year, Li Yuan went to Flying Star, he won't be able to participate in the Blue Star Competition next year." Dantai Fengmouzi had a gleam: "And I will continue to fight."

  "When the time comes, I'll be a sophomore champion, and it will probably be dazzling too."

  Tian Dazhuang was stunned.

  ……

  "Is he Li Yuan?"

  "No wonder he can directly get a second-class Martial God inheritance quota." The tall and sturdy Zhu Tong stared at the figure in the light screen: "Indeed very strong."

  "You're stronger than me!"

  ……

  "Are we leaving now? Isn't there still ten minutes left?" Wu Dongdong asked in puzzlement.

  "It's meaningless now."

  "On the Seventh Star Battlefield, no one can shake Li Yuan." Lin Lanyue smiled and said: "I should go see my brother, to prepare for going to Lieyu Star Boundary."

  "Are we getting ready to go? Isn't it a bit early?" Wu Dongdong couldn't help but say.

  "My physical quality has reached level 15, meeting the standard." Lin Lan Yue said: "The earlier you go, the better."

  "Be careful." Wu Dongdong sighed.

  She knew that Lin Lan Yue had a great deal of expectation on her shoulders and the road she walked was also very bumpy.

  ……

  Inside the Seventh Astral Battlefield.

  Wow!

  Li Yuan, who had killed Hoffman, did not linger but quickly left the mountain forest.

  Then, he found a high mountain, sat down on a huge rock with his knees crossed, and placed the long spear beside him.

  This made Li Yuan extremely conspicuous, after all, the battlefield was just this big now.

  But more than three hours ago, Li Yuan went on a crazy killing spree, and hundreds of contestants died at his hands.

  It can be said that almost all the surviving contestants on the battlefield know him.

  "The final ten minutes."

  "There's no need to kill anymore." Li Yuan's heart gradually calmed down, silently pondering: "I just didn't expect that in this great war, I would gradually enter the fifth stage of the middle rank."

  Breakthroughs in war are very common.

  In the midst of extreme mental excitement, on the edge of life and death, human potential is maximally stimulated... Although virtual battles are not as effective as real ones, they are related to quotas, and the level of tension and stimulation exceeds that of normal actual combat training.

  If Li Yuan practiced normally, it might take one or two months to break through the bottleneck.

  "Hoffman's reputation is enormous, and in the intelligence community, it's determined that he can break into the top ten." Li Yuan thought to himself: "From what I've seen of his skills through our exchange, his level should be around 5th dan, 20% or so."

  "What about me now?" Li Yuan glanced at Shen Gong's faceplate.

  One of them:

  Mastery Boundary: Gun Technique (5 segments 30%), Body Technique (5 segments 30%)

  "Is it enough to make a strong impact in the first place?" Li Yuan thought to himself: "For the next ten days, continue practicing shooting, strive to have no regrets in the final round."

  On the ranking list of the Seventh Star Realm Battlefield, Li Yuan was already far ahead in first place with his accumulated points.

  Time flies second by second.

  The remaining survivors became more and more frantic.

  "Don't run away, come and fight with me with all your might. Only by winning can we have the hope of breaking into the top 100."

  "Get lost, you're stronger than me. I still have over 800 people on the battlefield, and if I go back to school alive, I'll be rewarded. But if I die at your hands, I estimate I'll drop to around 2,000 or 3,000." The two contestants chased each other, cursing at each other.

  Top 100 players are killing other participants to stabilize their rankings while being extremely cautious, fearing a surprise attack.

  Some of those who were close to the front hundred names were extremely frantic, wanting to seize the last opportunity.

  However.

  In the seventh battlefield, no one dared to provoke the black figure with closed eyes on that giant boulder.

  At last, it was midnight.

  Buzz~

  A formless wave swept through, and in the Ten Great Star Realm's battlefield, all surviving contestants' consciousnesses simultaneously left their bodies.

  The melee match ended with Li Yuan in the same way.

  Wow!

  Li Yuan has returned to the arena space, looking around at the sea of people, countless people are cheering and shouting.

  The chaotic competition has come to an end, and tomorrow will be the even more brutal 'elimination match'.

  But these have nothing to do with Li Yuan anymore.

  "Congratulations to you, Li Yuan. You ranked first in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield and will directly advance to the finals through the knockout round." The system's voice sounded in Li Yuan's ear: "The top 20 advancing to the top 10 finals will be held on February 18th at 8:00 pm."

  ……

  "First!"

  "Awesome, Yuan Ge! You're the best on the battlefield!"

  "Senior brother, we Kunlun Wuda made it into the finals for the first time in history."

  "Finals! Senior Master, we all expect you to win the championship!!" Tens of thousands of Kunlun Wu University students surrounded Li Yuan, cheering at this moment.

  Li Yuan watched all of this, feeling the excitement of his classmates and friends, and revealed a faint smile.

  A thought occurred to him.

  Drip ~ Li Yuan directly exited the virtual network.

  "Buzz... Virtual network cabin activated."

  Li Yuan opened his eyes and felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet. The hustle and bustle of the Grand Arena earlier seemed like a dream.

  But this tranquility is what's real.

  "Seized the first place on the battlefield and completed the first goal of the tournament." Li Yuan's heart was completely calm: "It's time to continue cultivating."

  Li Yuan got up and walked out of the virtual network cabin.

  "First cultivate your visualization technique." Li Yuan arrived at the center of the martial arts room and gently closed his eyes.

  The effect of practice requires daily accumulation over a long period and cannot be relaxed for even a single day.

  ……

  When the melee match ended, many students left the virtual network cabin one after another.

  In a remote Africa, in an inconspicuous small country.

  An ordinary student is writing a string of seemingly unrelated symbols on a piece of white paper.

  But these symbols, if accurately translated into Xia script.

  "Li Yuan, eighteen years old and six months, fifth rank intermediate skill."

  "A year and a half ago, he was still only three-star skill, in terms of threat level has surpassed SSS-level."

  "Suggest launching all means except for the Flying Heaven Boundary's dormant ones, and annihilate them!"
