```"Can he win?"
"Li Yuan has been showing strong strength; he swept through other experts with ease before."
"Last time, Li Yuan lost to Dantai Feng in the ten schools' new student battles, and since Dantai Feng has already died in battle... I always feel it's a bit uncertain, Yin Man is still the most reliable." Spectators from Xia Country all looked up at the huge screen, their confidence somewhat lacking.
No way around it, Li Yuan's fame wasn't big enough before, and he was so young.
...
"Hoffman should be able to win."
"Hoffman has broken through a long time ago, Li Yuan only reached subtlety of the mind three months ago, he probably just stepped into the Fifth Stage, he's already quite monstrous."
"Li Yuan has a very small chance of winning." This is the common thought among the vast majority of global participants. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Li Yuan against other Fourth Level participants, naturally, he wins easily, but facing the powerful Hoffman, he will definitely lose." Stay connected through M V L
"Hoffman can match Harmon, and since Harmon defeated Jin Huguo, Hoffman can defeat Li Yuan," audiences from the United States and Europa were fervent.
Previously, Harmon defeated Jin Huguo.
Now, naturally, they hope Hoffman can continue this victor!
...
In a higher Spectator Space.
"Li Yuan is about to face Hoffman."
"This is Li Yuan's first battle against a Fifth Stage." Over a hundred thousand Prime Warriors are fixated on this battle.
Dozens of Flying Heaven Warriors are also paying close attention, wanting to understand why the Star Master pays so much attention to Li Yuan.
Perhaps the answer can be found in this Fifth Stage battle.
...
The outside world was watching with bated breath.
But in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, Li Yuan and Hoffman were obviously not so conscious of it.
Although they encountered each other early, they still stood a hundred meters apart, observing each other, trying to catch a glimpse of the other's weaknesses.
A Fifth Stage duel is naturally cautious.
"Li Yuan, I didn't expect my first Fifth Stage opponent would be you," Hoffman said with a smile, "It seems you haven't been a Fifth Stage for long, you won't be my match."
"Is being older something to be proud of? If I were your age, I would've gone to Feixing already, I wouldn't even participate in the Blue Star Competition." Li Yuan shrugged, nonchalantly.
Hoffman's face changed slightly.
The global college martial arts competition, colloquially known as the 'Blue Star Competition,' is limited to within Blue Star.
In fact, once selected for the Martial God Inheritance, they would no longer participate in the Blue Star Competition, mostly only joining the human martial path elite battles, which are contests between top talents from multiple editions across the Seven Great Planets.
"Hmph, then let me see just how strong you, the Xia Country genius, are," Hoffman said with a cold look, "Hope you don't disappoint me."
"That's what I should be saying to you," Li Yuan smiled, "After all, I am the first on the battlefield, you are only the second."
"Hope you're not too weak," Li Yuan said calmly.
Hoffman was about to continue talking.
"Stop the nonsense." Li Yuan suddenly shouted, turning into a streak of light as he charged over.
Li Yuan's speed instantly accelerated to nearly 80 meters per second.
A full-force burst.
"So fast." Hoffman's face turned serious, they both had comparable Physical Quality, and the differences in power and speed they could unleash was entirely due to their stages.
The higher the stage, the stronger the extraction of body strength.
After the Fifth Stage Skill, the body gradually merges with the heaven and earth, the strength seems no stronger, but the air resistance encountered sharply reduces, hence the demonstrated speed also becomes more exaggerated.
"Shoo~"
The Long Spear became like a dragon, Li Yuan charged explosively, a Straight Thrust shot out like lightning.
A Central Thrust! The simplest Spear Technique, yet it contained the most terrifying power.
Simplicity is the ultimate strength.
"Whish!" Hoffman instantly brought out his knife, its light incredibly fast, suddenly touching the tip of the Long Spear, a terrifying power burst from the blade, making the spear tip deviate instantly.
"Huff!"
As if anticipating, Li Yuan's Long Spear trembled at the moment it moved, creating a sky full of spear shadows and stabbing downward as he followed through, while Hoffman immediately retreated backward with a ghost-like speed.
"Boom!" Li Yuan pressed forward, his Long Spear howling, chasing and thrusting rapidly.
A terrifying force erupted, causing rocks along the path to shatter and even the ground cracked open.
"Clang! Clang!"
"Boom! Boom, boom!" Successive terrifying confrontations, Li Yuan completely dominated, his Long Spear swirling like rolling stars crushing down, whether thrusting straight, furiously slashing, or sweeping, completely overwhelming Hoffman.
For a time, their fierce battle was incredibly intense.
"So fierce,"
"His spear is completely different from other Spear Technique experts I have seen, rolling in overwhelming layers, truly dominating, not at all like someone who just entered the Fifth Stage." Hoffman struggled to defend.
He had to admit, just after a few dozen exchanges, in head-on clashes, he was already being pressed down by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's Spear was very dominating.
...
"Wow! Li Yuan is so dominant."
"I need to change my attitude, this year's freshman, the most dazzling isn't Dantai Feng, it's Li Yuan!!"
"Hoffman has a reputation, yet he's being pressed down to fight by Li Yuan? Truly frightening."
"Li Yuan's Spear Technique is fierce, is this his true strength? I like it!" Over a million Xia Country spectators were incredibly excited, many couldn't help but stand up.
"What a dominating Spear Technique, the Meaning of the Stellar! Truly, the spear as stars." Jin Huguo's eyes shone: "Junior Brother Li Yuan's strength, indeed, is stronger than mine."
... "Haha, I said Hoffman was no match for Li Yuan," Dantai Feng said indifferently, "It's just a bit of a pity."
"A pity what?" Tian Dazhuang was taken by surprise.
"It's such a momentous occasion, and yet it wasn't me making it happen," Dantai Feng expressed his regret.
...
"Why is Hoffman so weak?"
"Or is it that Li Yuan is too strong?" Spectators from the United States felt uncomfortable and more worried.
