Chapter 281: Chapter 214: The School's Expectations (Additional 18)_2

Since 2009, the champion of the Global University Martial Path Competition Virtual Battle has always cycled among the top martial arts schools like Starry Sky University, Starfire University, and Black Stone University.If Kunlun Martial University could win this year, it would be the first time in the history of the school.

...

In the competition space, those millions of spectators had completely erupted.

"We won!"

"Not only did Li Yuan block Hoffman's attack, but he also counter-killed on the back foot? His spear technique at the end was so powerful."

"When they were exchanging blows earlier, Hoffman was able to suppress him, and Li Yuan was only defending, but then he suddenly burst through and killed Hoffman."

"With Hoffman's strength, even if he couldn't win, it shouldn't have been difficult for him to flee, but Li Yuan's burst speed at the end, the data shows it surpassed 80 meters per second, which is almost close to a regular 18th Stage Martial Artist."

"Fierce."

"Hoffman, that's a Fifth Stage High Rank expert on par with Harmon." Numerous spectators discussed fervently.

The previous several Fifth Stage battles, although they had determined winners and losers,

were mostly hard-fought victories.

The only one that could be mentioned in the same breath as Li Yuan's fight was Nevsky's victory over Dantai Feng, where Nevsky also claimed a very easy win.

But after all, Dantai Feng was still a freshman, his reputation might seem big, but in the hearts of most competitors, he was not as intimidating as Hoffman.

Before this, many had pegged 'Hoffman' as a shoo-in for the top ten, with hopes for the top three or even first place.

Yet now, he was easily slain by Li Yuan.

How strong must Li Yuan be?

...

"Junior Brother Li Yuan, there's hope for you to vie for the first place," Jin Huguo's eyes sparkled: "Impressive! Being able to do this as a freshman!"

Jin Huguo had great admiration for Li Yuan in his heart.

...

"Vie for first place? Is Li Yuan that strong?" Tian Dazhuang, shocked by Dantai Feng's words, asked, "Is he even stronger than Senior Sister Yin Man?"

Yin Man had a very big reputation within Starfire University.

"Hard to say."

"Yin Man is quite strong, but she may not have reached the Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage," Dantai Feng said: "And even if she is at the Intermediate Rank of Fifth Stage, so what?"

Dantai Feng shrugged: "To go from Intermediate Rank to High Rank of the Fifth Stage normally takes several years, what difference does a few months earlier make?"

"There are still ten days until the finals, who knows how much Li Yuan will improve by then?" Dantai Feng said.

Tian Dazhuang nodded in agreement.

What made Li Yuan most thrilling was his astonishing rate of progress.

Other people slowed down as they progressed, often hitting a plateau.

But Li Yuan? The further he went, the more exaggerated his progress, the faster his pace and the more dazzling his performance.

Suddenly.

"I suddenly hope I don't get sent to Feixing this year," Dantai Feng sighed.

"What's wrong now?" Tian Dazhuang was puzzled.

"If I don't go to Feixing this year and Li Yuan does, he won't be able to participate in the Blue Star competition next year," Dantai Feng's eyes gleamed: "While I continue to compete."

"When I win the championship as a sophomore, I'll probably shine just as brightly."

Tian Dazhuang was stunned.

...

"Is that Li Yuan?"

"No wonder he was directly awarded the Second Class Martial God Inheritance spot." The tall Zhu Tong stared at the figure on the screen: "Indeed very strong."

"Stronger than me!"

...

"You're leaving now? Isn't there still ten minutes left?" Wu Dongdong asked, perplexed.

"It's pointless."

"No one in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield can shake Li Yuan's position now," Lin Lanyue said with a smile: "I should go and see Brother Yuan, prepare for the trip to the Fierce Feather Star Realm." seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Are you preparing to go now? Isn't it a bit early?" Wu Dongdong couldn't help but say.

"My physical quality has already reached the 15th Stage, meeting the standard," Lin Lanyue said: "The earlier I go, the better."

"Then, be safe," Wu Dongdong sighed.

She knew that Lin Lanyue carried great expectations and had a very tough journey ahead.

...

Inside the Seventh Star Realm battlefield.

Whoosh!

Having killed Hoffman, Li Yuan did not linger long and swiftly left the wooded area.

He then found a high mountain, sat down cross-legged on a giant boulder, and placed his long spear beside him.

This made Li Yuan very conspicuous, after all the battlefield was only so big now.

But in the past three hours, Li Yuan had been killing frantically; hundreds of competitors died by his hands.

It could be said that the competing survivors on the battlefield basically all recognized him.

"The last ten minutes."

"There's no need to continue killing," Li Yuan's heart gradually calmed down as he silently pondered, "I just didn't expect that in such a great battle, I would gradually step into the intermediate rank of the Fifth Stage."

Breaking through during a great battle was very common.

In a state of extreme mental excitement, walking on the edge of life and death, a person's potential could be maximally stimulated... Although the effects of virtual combat weren't as good as real combat, the tension and excitement exceeded that of normal real combat training because it involved spots in the competition.

If Li Yuan had trained normally, it might have taken him one or two months to break the bottleneck.

"Hoffman has a huge reputation and is identified in the intelligence reports as someone who can rush into the top ten," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Judging from our exchange of blows, his skill level should be around 20% of the Fifth Stage."

"What about me now?" Li Yuan glanced at the Divine Palace panel.

One of the lines read:

Skill Realm: Spear Technique (Fifth Stage 30%), Movement Technique (Fifth Stage 30%)

"Is that enough to rush for first place?" Li Yuan pondered to himself: "In the next ten days, keep practicing the spear, and strive to leave no regrets in the finals."

On the leaderboard of the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, Li Yuan was already far ahead with the highest points.

...Time passed by minute by minute.

The remaining survivors on the battlefield became increasingly frantic.

"Stop running and fight me with all your strength, only by winning is there hope of rushing into the top hundred," one competitor shouted as they chased another, cursing at each other.

The experts ranked in the top hundred were hunting other competitors to secure their positions, while being extremely cautious to avoid being targeted by a surprise attack.

Those close to the top hundred were desperate, trying to make the most of the last moments.

However.

In the Seventh Star Realm battlefield, no one dared to provoke the figure in black clothes with closed eyes sitting on the huge rock.

Finally, the time reached midnight.

Hum~

An invisible wave swept across, and the consciousnesses of all the surviving competitors in the ten Star Realms simultaneously left their bodies.

The melee competition had ended, and Li Yuan was no different.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan was back in the competition space, looking out over a sea of people, all of them shouting excitedly.

The melee had concluded, and tomorrow would bring an even more brutal 'elimination round.'

But none of this mattered to Li Yuan anymore.

"Congratulations Li Yuan, you ranked first in the Seventh Star Realm battlefield and will directly pass the elimination round to enter the finals," the system prompt sounded in Li Yuan's ear, "The final twenty to ten will take place on February 18th at 8:00 PM."

...

"First place!"

"Brother Yuan, you're amazing, first place in the battlefield!"

"Senior Brother, making it to the finals as a freshman, this is history for Kunlun Martial University."

"The finals! Senior Brother, we all look forward to you winning the championship!!" Tens of thousands of Kunlun Martial University students cheered around Li Yuan at that moment.

Li Yuan watched all this, feeling the excitement of his classmates and friends, and showed a faint smile. Stay connected with M V L

With a thought,

Drip~ Li Yuan directly exited the virtual network.

...Hum~ The virtual network chamber opened.

Li Yuan opened his eyes, feeling an immense tranquility around him, the noise from the competition space seemed like a distant dream.

But this tranquility was what was real.

"Claiming first place in the battlefield, I've completed the first goal of the competition," Li Yuan's heart was completely calm: "It's time to continue training."

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

"I'll start with the Visualization Method," Li Yuan went to the center of the Martial Arts Room and gently closed his eyes.

The work of cultivation required accumulations over days and months without a single day of slack.

...

When the melee competition ended, many students left the virtual network chamber one after another.

In a remote and inconspicuous small country in the Africa Continent,

A regular student was writing a string of seemingly unrelated symbols on a piece of white paper.

But these symbols, if accurately translated into Xia language,

"Li Yuan, eighteen years and six months old, intermediate rank Fifth Stage skills."

"A year and a half ago, he was only at the Third Stage. As for the threat level, it has surpassed that of SSS-class."

"Recommendation: initiate all tactics excluding the Flying Heaven Realm Infiltrators to exterminate him!"
