Countless spectators were excited beyond measure, shouting the names of Li Yuan and Bai Chuanming, especially those from Sakura and Xia countries, who were even more concerned.
Because today's final only has three rounds, once you enter the final round from the second round, there is a chance to win the championship.
However, among the onlookers, there are truly formidable experts such as Hofmann, Zhu Tong, Tian Dazhuang and others, or other top ten experts who have not yet joined the battle, like Yin Man, most of whom have a plan in mind.
At least in terms of performance, they are more inclined towards Li Yuan.
Because whether it was Li Yuan's crushing victory over Hoffmann in the losers' bracket or his first-round defeat of Kurnava, he showed overwhelming strength.
...on the dueling arena.
Human name, tree shadow. Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Li Yuan, who is far superior to many geniuses, 'Hyakusen', the number one genius of Sakura Country, also feels immense pressure.
"Come on."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "You should be clear, once I make a move, your chances of winning are very small."
If his opponent shows kindness, Li Yuan generally won't show malice. Bai Chuan Ming wasn't as arrogant as Kun Er, so Li Yuan wouldn't be too overbearing.
"Alright, let's see Li Yuan's marksmanship then." Bai Chuan Ming said in a low voice, holding his sword with both hands. In a flash, he had already rushed out dozens of meters and was heading towards Li Yuan.
Draw your sword!
Whoa! A dazzling flash of light swooped down and attacked.
"Clang!"
Li Yuan launched a late attack, but was not careless, holding his spear with both hands, charging forward with a loud crash, the spearhead touching the sword body.
A terrifying force was transmitted through the long sword, causing Bai Chuan's body to be slightly affected, and his figure involuntarily retreated backward.
Too accurate.
"It's impossible." Bai Chuan Ming's face changed slightly, and his figure flashed again as he drew his sword once more.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! The sword light was like a flowing light, and the speed of each sword burst to an astonishing degree.
However.
Bai Chuan's sword was fast, but Li Yuan's spear was even faster. In an instant, Li Yuan's long spear emitted a burst of terrifying spear aura, transforming into a vast and overwhelming shadow of spears that covered the sky and earth.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" The lightning-like collisions happened one after another, each sword light was pierced by Li Yuan's long spear and immediately blocked.
Really scary.
To know that Li Yuanke didn't use any gun mounts or sweeping moves to resist, but simply relied on a single straight stab to seal off all possibilities for Bai Chuanming.
No matter how fast the Hundred Rivers Sword Technique is.
His body method is very agile and nimble.
In front of Li Yuan, everything about him seemed to have been predetermined, leaving him with no power to resist.
"What?"
"What a swift swordsmanship, the Hundred Rivers' Humming Sword is indeed not to be underestimated."
"Keliyuan's gun is truly terrifying, absolute control." Hamon, Nefsky, Elysia and others have already changed their faces.
At this moment, Li Yuan had already been listed as their number one enemy in their hearts.
No choice.
Even if they were replaced by a few others, even if they had confidence in winning Bai Chuan Ming, they would absolutely not be able to achieve this level.
As for Ding Tai Feng, Jin Hu Guo, La Jia and A Mo Si, they were even more shocked in their hearts.
Not to mention Li Yuan.
Just by revealing a small part of their strength, they already didn't have the confidence to win.
Finally.
On the stage, both sides exchanged blows for over two hundred moves. Bai Chuan Ming got more and more uncomfortable as he fought, and suddenly retreated violently backwards.
"It's over." Li Yuan finally moved his feet.
That's right, in the two hundred moves just now, Li Yuan had been standing still all along, and this move was earth-shattering.
Although Mingming was slow to move, Li Yuan's explosive speed completely surpassed Bai Chuanming.
He suddenly drew near.
"What?"
"Over 110m/s?" The faces of Ding Taifeng, Jin Huguo, Yin Man and Nievsky all changed, having already seen the data calculations on both sides of the projection screen.
In just an instant, Li Yuan almost reached this speed in 0.3 seconds.
Too scary.
To know, all participants are standard physical quality 18 levels, standard speed is only 85m/s. Five high-end individuals can basically burst to 110m/s in a state of mind, but that requires acceleration, at least one or two seconds.
Li Yuan, almost instantaneous explosion.
This shows that Li Yuan's control over his body and integration with his surroundings far surpasses theirs.
……
On stage.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Li Yuan no longer held back, his spear thrusts were like lightning, traversing the vast sky, one spear followed another, like rolling stars crushing down.
Rushing towards the hundred rivers' roar.
"Not good." Bai Chuan's face changed as he looked at the long spear that was shooting towards him like lightning, and he swung his sword to try and block it.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Twelve consecutive thrusts, each one faster than the last. By the time the final thrust arrived, its speed and power had already far exceeded Baichuan Ming's ability to defend against it.
Can't stop it at all.
"Pfft!" The gun tip swept across, directly tearing open Bai Chuan Ming's throat.
It was so fast that for a moment there wasn't even any blood flowing down.
"I lost."
"He's absolutely at the fifth stage, and not just barely entered it." Hyakusen Moku had realized this, and finally managed to force a faint smile, opening his mouth: "Thanks."
A hundred rivers have already flowed without making a sound.
He knew that if Li Yuan came up with full force from the start, he would be completely crushed.
Allowing oneself to attack with over two hundred moves and finally bursting out, in a certain sense is helping oneself.
A hundred rivers flow into the sea, and all creatures submit to it willingly.
Up to now, the first winner of the top five appeared - Li Yuan.
……
"Did Li Yuan win?"
"Li Yuan is indeed strong, once he launches a fierce attack, Bai Chuan will definitely be unable to withstand it."
"It's no wonder he's the greatest genius of Blue Star." Countless people from Xia Guo exclaimed, and even in their discussions, they began to subconsciously ignore the premise "of this generation".
"Champion!"
"Senior brother, take the first place." The students of Kunlun Wudang were even more excited. This wonderful match made them truly see the possibility of Li Yuan winning the championship.
Compared to Jin Hu's 'stumbling', Li Yuan is indeed unmatched in strength, sweeping all the way from the mixed team competition to the top 10 and then to the top 5.
This feeling of dominating the Blue Star Competition all the way is something that no student from Kunlun Wu University has ever experienced.
……
"Li Yuan."
"When he bursts out, his attacks are so terrifying, what about his defense? The intention of the stars is best at defending."
"Bai Chuan's roar didn't force out his strongest defensive state." Yin Man, Nie Fuskii, Hamon and other martial arts geniuses who were determined to take first place all felt the pressure, thinking to themselves about what to do when they encounter Li Yuan.
……
In a higher-dimensional space for observation and combat.
"Progress is really fast."
"His appearance, where does it look like he just broke through the middle five stages a week ago? It's as if he has broken through for a year."
"His marksmanship is as smooth as his movements, his shooting skills have reached a state of perfection."
"I looked at his data, and just last October, he was still in the microcosm of his heart? He had already entered the fifth stage of the chaotic battle at that time? And now he has this kind of performance?"
"Awesome!"
"What a freak! No wonder the Star Master values him so much." The hundreds of flying warriors who came to watch the battle, some of whom didn't quite understand Li Yuan at first.
But after being 'enlightened' by other flying warriors and reading some relevant information about Li Yuan, they were shocked one by one.
"Star Lord."
"In terms of natural talent, he is even more terrifying than Yu Jing River, and is absolutely one of the greatest geniuses in human history."
"In the history of Xia Guo, they can always rank among the top three." This has almost become a consensus among these flying warriors.
Perhaps Li Yuan's true strength is still very weak.
But this skill improvement speed, exaggerated to the extreme.
"The host hasn't arrived yet."
"It seems that Xing Zhu won't be coming, but let's take a look and see how far Li Yuan can go."
"See if you can win the championship." Some flying warriors originally didn't care about new talents emerging, they were after the Star Master.
This is also the mentality of most strong people, genius? Let's talk about it when we're stronger.
However, when they saw Li Yuan, many flying warriors changed their minds and became interested, wanting to stay and watch for a while.
After all.
Like the top ten of the normal Blue Star League virtual battles, even if they grew up, most of them would end up being about the same as these flying warriors.
Li Yuan? Once grown up, he will inevitably become one of the most terrifying beings among the Flying Swordsmen.
Even... a demigod!!
……
In these Flying Warrior exchanges, four more matches of the top ten strongmen were held one after another.
Round 2 Match 2: Yin Man vs Raja
In this battle, Yin Man was still just a sword, but it was this very sword that crushed the heavenly genius 'Raja' of Tenjiku.
After both sides had exchanged over a hundred blows.
The sword flashed over Rajah's skull, accompanied by a splash of fresh blood, ending the battle.
"Yin Man!"
"The second name in the top five is still our Xia Guo's." The spectators from Xia Guo became even more excited.
In the first two matches, the players from Xia Guo won.
"It seems that Rajah is really no match for this Xia Guo woman."
"Raja is out." The nearly ten million spectators in Tenjiku were somewhat disappointed.
They are confident again, and in the face of such an overwhelming victory, it is impossible to say that Rajah lost due to carelessness.
After all, Yin Man had just drawn a sword.
"We won."
"Top five." But there was no smile on Yin Man's face. In her heart, there was only one goal: "First! Get the first place!"
Li Yuan is very powerful.
But Yin Man still has enough confidence in his own strength.
……
The third match was Nevskey vs Jin Huguo.
Those who can enter the top ten have at least defeated a five-dan master, and Kim's strength is beyond doubt.
However, facing the powerful Neffski, Jin Huguo still lost without any suspense.
That axe move connected with another, its speed in no way inferior to Jin's national-protecting sword technique.
The explosion of power is even more terrifying.
In the end, Jin Hu Guo died in battle after withstanding eighteen blows from his opponent.
"I lost."
"Lost in a head-on confrontation." Jin Huoguo lost with a convincing expression: "Even if I didn't play against Niufeski, I still wouldn't have won against Li Yuanshi and Yin Man... In the end, it's impossible to break into the top three."
"The difference between top 10 and top 5 is not significant."
"Top ten, that's good enough." Jin Hu Guo smiled and returned to the spectator platform.
The welcome was met with thunderous applause from tens of thousands of students at Wudaokou.
Virtually ranked top ten, enough to make a name in the history of Kunlun Wuda.
Even without Li Yuan, Jin Hu Guo's performance alone was enough to make Kunlun Wu Da's prestige in Xia Guo shake again.
"Li Yuan's junior fellow."
"Look out." Jin Hu Guo looked at Li Yuan who was still in the waiting area of the arena.
……
The fourth game, Hamon vs. Tantai Kiryū.
This is also a highly anticipated battle, and as a freshman in his first year, Dantai Feng's reputation is extremely high, even Li Yuan can't overshadow him.
As for Hamon? He is the only remaining super expert in Flag Country.
Both sides quickly burst into a fierce exchange of blows.
Tantai Fung is a knife shield, while Hamon is purely a heavy sword, which is somewhat similar to Tada Mitsuyo.
The dozens of moves before, Dantai Feng could still use his shield technique to resist, but Hammond also sensed this.
"If I gave you another year, I wouldn't be your opponent." Hamon smiled wryly: "But this year's protagonist is definitely not you."
"But you also have the qualifications to accept my strongest power."
Wow!
Hamon thoroughly burst out, the war knife in his hand suddenly bursting out, the knife light like lightning flashing across the sky, directly chopping towards Dantai Feng.
"Boom!" "Boom" "Boom!" After thirteen lightning-fast exchanges, Ding Taifeng could no longer withstand it. A terrifying knife light sent his war sword flying out of his hand, and another knife light immediately crushed him.
Dantai Feng, defeated.
"Advance five steps and force me to unleash all my strength." Hamon muttered to himself: "It's time for the first impact."
In his heart, he also yearned for first place just as much.
"Go of the middle rank!"
"It's indeed a mid-level five-segment." Li Yuan, Yin Man, and Nie Feng's faces all showed a hint of solemnity.
Hamon, this martial arts genius who shone brightly in last year's tournament, has indeed reached new heights after another year of quiet refinement.
……
"It's interesting."
"In previous years, generally being in the top five was a guarantee of entering the top three, but this year it's not even guaranteed to enter the top three."
"Li Yuan, Yin Man, Nie Fenski and Hamon, the winners of the first four rounds were all five-stage intermediate skills."
"It's rare." The flying warriors on the higher observation deck were chatting and seemed very relaxed.
……
The fifth match, also the last of the second round, was played between Alicia and Amos.
This war.
Both sides fought fiercely, fighting for over a thousand moves, and finally Alicia's side won with difficulty.
"We won!"
"I'm a student from a non-top three martial arts school, without awakening my martial spirit, and I can still make it into the top five of the Blue Star Tournament?" Alicia's face turned pale on the arena.
She almost lost just now.
But in the end, she stood up to the last and took away the last top five quota.
……
"Congratulations to them."
"After five fierce battles."
"Li Yuan, Yin Man, Nie Fuskii, Hamon, and Alicia are the top five masters of this year's Global University Wudao Competition virtual battle!!" The host's voice was excited: "Wow, among these five geniuses, there is Li Yuan, a first-year student who is renowned worldwide as an extraordinary genius."
"There is Alicia from Budo University."
"There were also last year's outstanding performances by Yin Man, Ha Mon, Nie Feng... In short, the top five were all extraordinary."
"And they will also bring us ten ultimate showdowns!!"
"The Final Decisive Battle — Life and Death Roulette!"
"Each participant will compete against other geniuses in a showdown, and the one with the most victories in the final round will be crowned the champion of this virtual war."
"If there is a tie in the number of wins, a playoff will be held."
"Good!"
"I declare, the final showdown is about to begin." The man in black exclaimed: "First match, Yin Man versus Hamon."
……
At this moment.
Whether it was the flying warriors soaring high in the sky or the tens of millions of spectators watching, they all watched with rapt attention.
Everyone knows that the next ten matches will be the pinnacle of the entire virtual war.
Each game is crucial in determining the ultimate championship ownership.
"Yin Man and Ha Mon are both high-ranking masters in the fifth stage." Li Yuan's eyes gleamed with light: "They, are the obstacles to my impact on the first place."
At the beginning of the virtual race, Li Yuan's grasp on the first impact was not very big.
Now?
Although the impact failed, it didn't affect him much, after all, he was only a freshman and had already obtained the Wushen inheritance quota. Being able to break into the top five was already a miracle... but Li Yuan also had his own desires.
After all, Li Yuan's strongest trump card had yet to be revealed.
……
On the dueling arena, Yin Man and Hamon's duel has already begun, both sides are going all out from the start.
Yin Man finally revealed her strongest power in this match - dual swords!
This explosion is earth-shattering and stunning in all directions.
"What?" Hamon, who was originally full of confidence, was directly stunned.
A strand of sword light enveloped his entire field of vision in an instant, easily blocking all his attacks, and then counterattacked immediately.
Hurry! Hurry!
Sword light like tidal wave.
Yin Man with dual swords in hand, his strength had increased by more than just a single fold?
Hamon was completely suppressed.
"So strong?"
"Is this Yin Man?"
"Hammond is only a fifth-stage middle-tier, yet he's being completely suppressed?" Whether it was Neffsky, Elysia, or the already spectating Dantai Feng, Jin Hu Guo, and Bai Chuan Ming, all of these geniuses had faces full of shock.
"This swordsmanship is formidable."
"This Yin Man is probably going to take down the first place."
"Li Yuan's defense is strong, but I'm afraid it can't withstand the explosive Yun Man."
"In terms of martial arts skills, Yin Man should be the first." The group of flying warriors watching from a higher altitude couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
They all saw the horror of Yin Man.
Perhaps Yin Man and Hamon are both mid-level fifth dan, but if we go by Li Yuan's words, 'the skill level of 30%, 40%, and 50% of the fifth dan can't be the same.'
Obviously, Yin Man has been ahead of Hamon for a long time in the five-stage journey, and his strength far surpasses that of Hamon who just broke through.
"First."
"In terms of strength, Yin Man is the absolute number one in virtual battles." The 'Deputy Principal' Yu from Xinghuo Wuda sighed slightly: "In this year, Yin Man has made tremendous progress."
Why before Li Yuan rose.
Even if there is a dispute, the high-level officials of Xinghuo Wudang are inclined to give the "Second-Rank Martial God Inheritance Quota" to Yin Man.
It's precisely because Yin Man's strength is indeed strong enough that a long time ago, he almost locked in the number one spot in the virtual battles.
"What a pity."
"Ran into an even more cunning Li Yuan." Principal Yu sighed silently: "With Yin Man's temperament, she must be eager to defeat Li Yuan in her heart."
"I hope she doesn't mind this matter too much." Principal Yu still attaches great importance to Yin Man.
After all, Yin Man is his student.
Li Yuan is also a freak, and his relationship with him is not great either.
……
On stage.
Hamon was thoroughly crushed by Yin Man, and after persisting for over a hundred moves, his body suddenly split into two segments.
The first battle was won by Yin Man.
……
The second game, Yin Man vs Nefsky.
In this battle, Neffski burst out with extremely terrifying strength, his axe skills were fierce to the extreme... but in front of Yin Man who was fighting with all his might, after exchanging over three hundred moves, Neffski still ended up defeated.
……
The third game, Li Yuan vs Alicia.
This battle, Li Yuan won easily again, and Alicia didn't burst out her 'Five-Stage Middle Rank' strength.
"Alicia is estimated to lose four in a row."
"In terms of strength, Alicia is probably the weakest one and will likely be last."
"Last but one? Even if Alicia loses completely, she's still fifth in the world!"
In the fourth game, Neffskei defeated Aleschia, and Neffskei won.
The fifth game was Neffske vs. Hammond, both of whom were extremely skilled attackers.
Same here.
Whether it was Nie Feng and Ha Meng, they both knew in their hearts that they had already lost to Yin Man.
Li Yuan? In their hearts, he is also a formidable opponent.
So this battle is crucial.
"Top three."
"Defeat the opponent and rush into the top three steadily."
"Only by entering the top three can one obtain a spot in the Wu Shen inheritance." Both Neffsky and Hamon were well aware of this.
Ordinary students did not know about the Wu Shen inheritance, but they two had been informed by their own teachers long ago.
Only the top three can go to Fei Xing and get the Wu Shen inheritance quota.
If we can't make it into the top three? Then we'll have to wait for the league's higher-ups to select us, and our fate will no longer be in our own hands.
Geniuses often dislike the feeling of having their fate controlled by others.
"Fight!"
Nevsky and Hammond killed each other in a particularly brutal manner, with Nevsky ultimately succumbing to his severe injuries after over a thousand rounds of intense combat.
One axe blow, and Hamon's head was chopped off heavily.
"Haha! Won! I'm probably going to Flying Star now." Nevsky, the burly man from the Far North, also had a rare hint of excitement.
……
"Lost, fate is no longer in one's own control." Hamon's Flying Swordsman teacher sighed lightly.
Yin Jun lost first, then Nie Weiping lost.
Hamon is now only theoretically able to enter the top three.
……
Match 6: Yin Man vs Alicia, Yin Man wins.
Up to now, Yin Man has completed three consecutive victories and only needs to win against Li Yuan again to become the ultimate champion.
……
Seventh match, Hammond vs Alicia, Hammond wins.
Alicia lost all four sets and locked in fifth place early.
……
The eighth game, Hammond vs Li Yuan.
In this battle, Hammond went all out and tried to win a theoretical chance of advancing.
In theory, as long as he beats Li Yuan, and then Li Yuan beats Nepomniachtchi, all three would be at 2-2, necessitating another playoff.
What a pity.
The more theoretically possible it is, the less hope there is.
In this battle, Li Yuan completely abandoned his defense and used offense against offense, ultimately defeating Hammond in a thrilling manner.
"His swordsmanship skills should be just past the middle of the fifth rank." Li Yuan had a vague judgment in his mind.
Li Yuan's understanding of 'Star Intention' may not be good at attacking, but when his skills are in a relatively obvious advantage, even if he is attacked, he can still win.
After this war.
Judging by the number of wins, the top three have actually been decided - Yin Man, Li Yuan and Nie Feng.
……
"The top three have already been decided."
"They're all excellent, the three of them heading to Flying Star." The flying warriors in the higher spectator area were discussing among themselves.
"The last two games."
"Let's see who will be the ultimate first."
……
Round 9: Li Yuan vs Nepomniachtchi
On the stage, two people looked at each other from a distance.
"It seems that the order of battle is being constantly adjusted. " Neffsky, holding a war axe, grinned: "The high-level should hope to leave the suspense of the final first place until the end."
"It should be." Li Yuan smiled and nodded.
"I've already lost to Yin Man, her strength is too terrifying... I'm destined not to get first place, second or third doesn't make a difference to me." Nevsky said seriously: "However, I also won't admit defeat voluntarily."
"I know you're strong, but if you want to defeat me, bring out your full strength." Neffsky stared at Li Yuan.
He had studied Li Yuan before and watched his previous battles, knowing how formidable Li Yuan was.
"Okay."
"To show respect for you, I will also bring out my true strength." Li Yuan smiled and nodded, he had a good impression of this big man from the far north.
"What true strength?" A glint flashed in Nevsky's eyes.
He understood Li Yuan's meaning and was not at full strength when he fought with Hammond.
Boom!
Nevsky sprang into action, his battle-axe a heavy weapon but in his hands it moved with incredible agility.
Wow!
A dazzling axe light flashed across the sky.
"Boom!"
Li Yuan's long spear also burst out, the spearhead dancing, as if stirring up the stars outside the sky, in an instant the spear's edge was like a starry river, rolling and crashing onto Neffsky's war axe.
"A tremendous collision" Nevsky was sent flying backward.
He flew out for nearly ten meters before he finally came to a stop, while Li Yuan still stood in his original position.
"How is this possible!" Nevsky almost lost his voice, his eyes full of shock.
……
"What?"
"What's with this marksmanship?"
"It's really mobilizing the power of heaven and earth! Absolutely right."
"What a true freak!"
"True Intention Ultimate Move!"
"Absolutely the true intent of the ultimate move! How long has it been since you entered the middle stage of the fifth rank, and yet you've already grasped the true intent of the ultimate move?" In the higher-level observation space, a group of flying warriors who were originally chatting with each other in a relaxed manner now had their faces filled with shock.
