Chapter 226 Finals! Part 23
Chapter 226 Finals! Top Ten (Additional Update 23)
After the melee match and eight rounds of elimination matches, one martial arts genius after another emerged.
In addition, promotional videos of Li Yuan and Tan Taifeng were spread along the way.
It can be said that the popularity of the virtual battle in this Global College Martial Arts Tournament has reached an unprecedented level.
call!
Li Yuan slowly practiced his shooting skills, adjusted his mentality, and went online on time at 7:40 in the evening.
He just entered the competition space and appeared in the viewing area of 'Kunlun Wuhan University Students'.
immediately.
Swish! The 'broadcast screen' at the top of the battle space was instantly aimed at him, and Li Yuan's face appeared on the big screen.
boom!
"Li Yuan!"
"It's Li Yuan!!"
"Li Yuan!" The competition venue, which attracted more than 600 million spectators, was instantly filled with thunderous cheers.
Not only the Xia Kingdom was watching the battle, but people from most other countries were also shouting his name.
Millions of people cheering together, what does this mean?
The sound was deafening, echoing in the vast competition space, and even scared Li Yuan who had just come online.
"So many people?" Li Yuan was a little confused when he heard the deafening shouting.
It’s fine that only the spectators from Xia Country are spectating, but why are the spectators from other countries so excited as well?
"Haha, Brother Yuan, you didn't expect that you are so popular now." Gu Qianghan on the side laughed excitedly, "You are famous all over the world."
"I didn't expect it." Li Yuan shook his head.
"Big Brother, you and Tan Tai Feng are now famous all over the world. Haven't you seen the number of followers on your Weibo? It has exceeded 4000 million. This is global attention." An Nong said excitedly.
Li Yuan was stunned.
4000 million followers? Is that too much?
Li Yuan has been concentrating on cultivation these two days and has not been online to the virtual network, so he is indeed not aware of these things.
You know, the virtual network is an absolute real-name system, and under the monitoring of the entire network, there are basically no "zombie fans". This is real attention... Looking around the world, he can be regarded as a first-class star.
"no way."
"The previous short video was certified by the Spark Martial Hall, and the praise is beyond words." An Nong sighed and said, "The contemporary number one genius on Blue Planet! The pillar of human civilization that will surpass the Flying Heaven level in the future!"
Li Yuan couldn't help but shook his head.
The principal and the White Mountain Star Lord were exaggerating too much in order to attract the lurking alien flying-level...
However, the results are good.
More than ten seconds later, the broadcast video changed to other finalists, and the shouts for Li Yuan died down a lot.
Only in the Kunlun Wuda area, a large number of spectators were still looking at Li Yuan's position and waving excitedly.
“It’s a little too crazy.”
Li Yuan sat down and shook his head, "Shouldn't everyone call him Senior Brother Jin? Senior Brother Jin also made it to the top 20 finalists."
"How can they be the same?" A powerful and magnetic voice sounded from behind Li Yuan: "You are absolutely strong, defeating Hoffman and advancing directly to the finals, while I only managed to get into the top 20 after much trouble. How can they be the same?"
"Senior Brother Jin?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he turned to look.
I don’t know when.
Jin Huguo was already sitting in the row behind Li Yuan. He had a square face and wasn't handsome, but he had a very tough guy demeanor.
As the two of them were talking, Gu Qianghan, An Nong and the others beside them didn't dare to speak.
Among the nearly 10,000 students at Kunlun University of Warsaw today, Li Yuan and Jin Huguo have an extraordinary status.
After all, in terms of technical skills alone, ordinary teachers are inferior to them.
"Brother, you are joking." Li Yuan said with a smile: "With your strength, you may be able to make it into the top three."
Li Yuan has studied his main competitors.
Li Yuan watched the scene where Harmon actually took action, that is, the battle with Jin Huguo, over and over again.
In Li Yuan's opinion, Jin Huguo's skill level should be almost the same as Hoffman's. Even if he is weaker, he won't be much weaker.
"Stop flattering me." Jin Huguo shook his head and laughed, "Whether I can make it into the top ten depends on luck... As for the top three, there is no hope at all."
"It's you, Junior Brother."
"Work hard! Try to win first place." Jin Huguo said with a smile, "Our school has never won first place in the Blue Star Competition virtual battle."
"Or in other words, since the virtual war began, looking around the world, the three top martial arts schools have always taken turns to take first place." Jin Huguo said solemnly: "There has been no exception."
"No exceptions?" Li Yuan was stunned.
He knew that Kunlun Wuda had never won the virtual battle championship, but according to Jin Huguo... if they could win the championship, it would not only create history for Kunlun Wuda.
In a sense, it also creates new history for the competition, breaking the monopoly of the three top martial arts schools on the virtual battle championship.
"Li Yuan." Jin Huguo said with emotion: "Didn't you realize that among the top 17 masters, except for you and me, and a martial arts genius 'Alicia' from Europe, the other people are all from the three top martial arts schools."
Li Yuan nodded slightly. After calculating like this, it was indeed exaggerated.
But it’s normal to think about it.
Even in the five famous universities in Xia Country, perhaps a fifth-stage student would occasionally appear among the senior and fifth year students.
But want to have a fifth-level student before the third year? Too difficult.
For example, Jin Huguo is a rare genius that has appeared in Kunlun Wuda in recent decades.
“That Alicia is actually a bit like you.” Jin Huguo said with a smile: “She also didn’t awaken her martial arts spirituality, so she didn’t get into Blackstone University… Her comprehension is not as good as yours, but it’s also very amazing.”
"It's already very rare to break through to the fifth level in the third year of college." Jin Huguo said solemnly.
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Looking around the world, if one has not awakened the spirituality of martial arts, but if one has a high enough level of understanding, there are many ways to rise gradually.
……
As Li Yuan and Jin Huguo chatted, time passed and finally it came to 7:58.
The start time of the competition is getting closer.
Suddenly, two waves of buzzing appeared out of nowhere and swept through Li Yuan and Jin Huguo at the same time.
They both disappeared at the same time.
When they appeared again, they were already in the center of the competition space, around the huge fighting arena.
Not only the two of them, but also peerless geniuses like Yin Man, Zhu Tong, Tan Tai Feng, Hoffman, Kunale, Nevsky and others also appeared around the ring.
"Alicia." Li Yuan couldn't help but look at the blonde woman.
Like herself, she had not awakened her martial arts spirituality.
…When the twenty peerless talents who made it to the finals appeared, the entire competition space immediately boiled over, with countless spectators from all over the world frantically shouting out the names of the contestants.
“Rajah!!”
"Kunale, we Tianzhu are the strongest."
"Nevsky, kill Harmon!"
"Li Yuan! Yin Man! Take first place." Countless voices rang out, and everyone was cheering for the finalists from their own country.
But there is no doubt that Li Yuan has the highest vote count, which is determined by his popularity.
……
"All audience friends, after ten days of brutal competition, this global..." The burly host in black reappeared, his voice resounding through the world: "More than six million contestants competed fiercely, and in the end, we selected twenty martial arts geniuses."
"They are the 20 most powerful talents on our Blue Star this year!!"
"And today's finals, we will decide the top ten, top five, and even the first place all at once!!"
"No.1, the No.1 in the entire Blue Star!!"
"The top three geniuses will soon represent our Blue Planet to travel to the distant Flying Star to compete with the most evil geniuses from the other six planets!!" the host's voice was excited.
Constantly mobilizing the voices of all spectators.
At the right time, music also started.
"Wow! The number of spectators has exceeded 600 million!! Haha, this is absolutely unprecedented."
"it is good."
"Now I will introduce the top 20 contestants one by one. They are Yin Man, Li Yuan, Bai Chuanming..." the host read out each name.
The entire competition space will be filled with earth-shaking roars.
The names of the contestants were called out one by one.
at last.
Read the last contestant's name.
"It's past eight o'clock." The host said in a low voice: "The first round of the finals, 'Twenty to Ten', will begin. The rules of the match are based on the total points of the free-for-all match. The first will play against the twentieth, and the second will play against the nineteenth..."
"Therefore, in the first round, the first game, Yin Man faces Hades!" The host raised his voice again.
Wow! Wow!
The twenty contestants who were originally surrounding the fighting arena instantly teleported the two of them in.
"Yin Man." Li Yuan looked over immediately. This was one of the opponents he was most concerned about.
As for Hades? Li Yuan was not impressed.
The other contestants were also watching carefully, as this was a good opportunity for them to get to know their opponents in the next two rounds.
……
Because the physical fitness of both sides is set at level 18, the diameter of the fighting arena is 300 meters.
More than six million people watched the game.
On the fighting stage, Yin Man and Hades didn't waste any time talking and started fighting directly.
The battle ended very quickly, but it also shocked the spectators and contestants.
because!
Yin Man was truly terrifying. With just one sword, she defeated Hades, who had performed so well in the knockout round.
From beginning to end, Hades had almost no power to resist and was completely crushed by Yin Man.
finally.
Yin Man got the first spot in the top ten.
"Yin Man!"
"Invincible!"
"The most beautiful Yin Man!" Millions of spectators from Xia Country cheered excitedly.
……
"What a terrifying Yin Man!" Top geniuses like Harmon and Nevsky were all amazed by Yin Man's swordsmanship, but also felt the pressure.
After all, according to the information, Yin Man is best at using dual swords.
One sword can easily defeat Hades who is also at the fifth level. How terrifying will it be if two swords explode?
……
"It's the fifth intermediate stage."
"It is indeed the fifth-stage middle level, another one. Counting Li Yuan and Nevsky, this is the third one." In the higher-level viewing space, many flying warriors were discussing with each other.
Today, there were still more than 100,000 Source Warriors who came to watch the battle, but there were more than 100 Flying Warriors who came to watch the battle.
"Today is the finals, but the Star Master didn't come?"
"I don't know."
"Let's wait a little longer. Maybe the Star Lord will come by the final battle." Many flying warriors who came to watch the battle actually wanted to see the Star Lord.
It’s a pity that the Star Lord didn’t come today.
While these flying warriors were discussing, the second showdown had already broken out.
……
The second battle broke out between Nevsky and Hoffman, both of whom were super geniuses in their respective countries.
But in just a moment, the battle was over.
When Nevsky's axe skills were fully unleashed, axe lights continued one after another, directly crushing Hoffman.
In the end, Nevsky got the second place in the top ten.
……
In the third match, Tan Taifeng faced off against Yu Mingwei, who was also a genius from the Xia Kingdom.
This is a civil war in Xia.
There is no way, this is the rule. Xia Country occupies six places in the top 20, so it is normal for a civil war to break out.
In this battle, both sides fought fiercely.
In the end, contrary to the expectations of most spectators, it was Tan Taifeng who was more skilled and defeated Yu Mingwei despite being seriously injured.
"Haha, we won! We won!" Tan Tai Feng's eyes were full of light. One of his arms was broken and blood was flowing.
But Tan Tai Feng didn't care at all.
“Entered the top ten!”
"Making it into the top ten as a freshman is a record-breaking achievement for the Xia Kingdom. Back then, Yu Jinghe only made it into the top 20 as a freshman." Tan Tai Feng laughed.
He couldn't help but look at Li Yuan and grinned, "Li Yuan, I made it into the top ten earlier than you." Tan Taifeng knew that his chances of making it into the top five were very low, and it was a miracle to be able to make it into the top ten.
"Senior Baishan, you are indeed more powerful and older than my grandfather." Tan Taifeng thought to himself, "Just one instruction has made me improve so much."
Li Yuan received help from the top leaders of Xia State.
Similarly, Tan Tai Feng also received gifts from the top leaders of the Xia Kingdom.
Every genius has his or her own opportunities during the process of growth.
……
"Tan Tai Feng's sword and shield combination has become even stronger."
"Yu Mingwei actually lost?" The other contestants were secretly surprised. Most of them judged that Tan Taifeng would lose.
……
The fourth game, the fifth game... in each peak showdown, those who were eliminated were all fifth-level masters.
The fifth-level masters who remain will be even more terrifying in strength.
In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh match - Li Yuan vs. Kunaler! !
When the two were teleported into the fighting arena, a deafening roar was heard instantly. This was a duel that everyone was watching.
"Li Yuan!"
"Li Yuan!!" Millions of spectators from Xia Country shouted.
"Kunale!"
"Kunale." Nearly one million spectators from India were equally undeterred.
Spectators from other countries all expressed some emotion... The cheers from spectators from the two populous countries far exceeded those from other countries.
……
Fighting on the arena.
"Li Yuan, everyone says that you are the best talent in Blue Star today and have a good chance of winning the championship, but I don't believe it." Kunale, with a high nose bridge and fair skin, stared at Li Yuan intently: "I will prove to everyone that I am the best."
"Show your full strength, so you won't have to make excuses after you lose."
"After defeating you, I will get into the top five and win the championship." Kunale was full of confidence.
As the 'first genius' of India, he is very famous.
"Okay." Li Yuan smiled slightly: "To show my respect for you, I will use all my strength."
boom! boom!
Both sides exploded at the same time, rushed towards each other, and collided and fought at lightning speed.
Kunale practiced the art of sword and shield, his sword skills were extremely superb, and his shield skills were even more unique.
This is also the reason why many people, although not optimistic about his victory, believe that he can hold on to Li Yuan for a long time.
only……
When the two of them actually fought, Kunale was defeated miserably... after only a dozen lightning-fast moves.
"Pfft!"
Along with a shot that pierced the sky, the spear in Li Yuan's hand had directly pierced Kunale's neck.
Kill!
Kunal, defeated!
"I thought he was very strong." Li Yuan put away his gun suddenly and shook his head slightly: "He has such a big reputation... but I feel that he is probably a little worse than Hoffman."
Peng~Kunale's body fell heavily to the ground.
"Let me go all out? That's too weak."
However, Li Yuan also understood in his heart that it was not that Kunale was really weak, but that he himself had become stronger.
……
"what?"
"How can it be!"
"Kunale was defeated so quickly?"
"Li Yuan!!" Harmon, Yin Man, Nevsky and other winners all changed their expressions, their eyes full of shock.
too strong! !
Before the final, most of them had analyzed Li Yuan, especially the match between Li Yuan and Hoffman. These martial arts geniuses had come to the conclusion that Li Yuan was good at defense but not good at attack.
But now?
Kunale defended with all his might, but under Li Yuan's fierce attack, he could only withstand more than ten shots?
This level of shooting attack is much stronger than when Li Yuan defeated Hoffman.
……
"What a pervert." Tan Tai Feng murmured to himself.
He was quite shocked: "He just broke through the fifth intermediate level during the melee match... and he has become so much stronger in less than ten days?"
Tan Tai Feng felt that he was making rapid progress.
But compared with Li Yuan? The gap seems to be even bigger.
"Could it be that Li Yuan has a system for improving his marksmanship as described in the novel?" Tan Taifeng couldn't help but think, "Why don't I have a system for showing off? If so, I would definitely improve just as fast."
In addition to practicing, Tan Tai Feng would occasionally read some online novels.
……
"What a great shooting skill."
"it's beautiful."
"The Will of the Stars, can the attack power be this strong? His marksmanship skills must have improved a lot." The flying warriors in the higher-level viewing space were also quite amazed.
Most of them expected Li Yuan to win.
But winning so easily was beyond their imagination!
"Haha, I used to think Yin Man was stronger than Li Yuan, but now I'm not sure."
"Me too."
……
"Li Yuan won!"
"Li Yuan is awesome." Millions of spectators from Xia Country were so excited that they roared wildly.
Because, including Li Yuan, three of the six geniuses of Xia Country have already made it into the top ten.
Zhu Tong and Jin Huguo have not competed yet.
The only one who was eliminated, Yu Mingwei, was eliminated because of the civil war... This winning rate is indeed amazing.
……
Quickly, the last three games of the first round of the finals ended one by one.
Zhu Tong lost to the number one genius of Sakura Country, 'Bai Chuan Ming'.
"Bai Chuanming's swordsmanship."
"So fast."
"What a powerful swordsmanship." Many people were amazed. Even Tan Tai Feng, Raja and others who had already secured the top ten spots had solemn expressions on their faces.
Judging only from the power of swordsmanship, it seems that Yin Man's swordsmanship is faster and more ferocious.
But in terms of speed, Bai Chuanming's swordsmanship is faster... He is definitely the one with the fastest weapon speed among the martial arts geniuses participating in the finals so far.
UI.
Absolute speed itself represents extremely powerful power.
……
The tenth game of the first round of the finals.
Jin Huguo won!
He had a brutal fight with another martial arts genius, 'Alves', which lasted for more than ten minutes.
It was the longest battle among the ten major wars.
You know, most of the previous duels were over within three minutes. After all, all the contestants did not have the protection of the Source Force Armor, and it was a close combat. The slightest flaw would mean death.
The battle lasted an astonishing ten minutes, indicating that the strength of both sides was extremely close.
In the end, Jin Huguo narrowly won... In the final stage of the fight, the madness revealed in his calmness shocked countless spectators.
"Brother Jin, you are really amazing."
"In terms of strength, he and Alves are on par with each other." Li Yuan secretly exclaimed: "Maybe Senior Brother Jin's hard power is weaker, but his decision between life and death is far better than the other party."
Li Yuan asked himself if he could do better with such decisiveness.
Li Yuan couldn't help but think of the battle between Jin Huguo and Harmon.
Although he was much weaker in strength, he almost died together with Harmon due to his terrifying fighting awareness.
This is the end.
Top ten in virtual battle, all selected!
……
More than six million people watched the game.
It's already nine o'clock in the evening.
"Yin Man, Tan Taifeng, Li Yuan, Jin Huguo, Bai Chuanming, Harmon, Raja, Nevsky, Alicia, Amos." The host said excitedly: "Let us congratulate the above ten geniuses. They are the top ten of this virtual battle."
"Li Yuan!"
"Yin Man!"
"Harmon." Millions of spectators were extremely excited, and many even waved their arms.
Especially the millions of Xia Country spectators were even more excited! !
"Haha, among the top ten geniuses, four are from our Xia country."
"It's a pity. If Tan Taifeng and Yu Mingwei weren't at war, maybe we could have taken up five spots."
Four of the top ten places are indeed very eye-catching.
However, the most excited and crazy people were the students and teachers of Kunlun Wuhan University.
Because, among the top ten places, Kunlun Wuda occupied two - Li Yuan and Jin Huguo.
……
In a higher-level viewing space.
"Haha, two of the top ten geniuses are from our Kunlun University." Li Yang boasted to the top martial artists around him, "Old Liu, look at your school. There hasn't been a single top ten student in so many years."
"Look how proud you are."
"It's such a small thing."
"This Li Yang likes to show off no matter what." The vice presidents of the other four famous universities in Xia Country couldn't help but complain.
"What do you mean by showing off?" Li Yang glared at him, "I call this confidence! If you have such amazing students, you will be more confident than me."
"Don't think I don't know you guys."
……
The top ten geniuses of the virtual battle were selected.
After only ten minutes of rest, the second round of the finals - ten to five - was about to begin.
The showdown will be a free match in the virtual network system.
"it is good!"
"The match has ended." The host looked at the list of duels that had just been released in his hand and said solemnly: "Ten into five, the winner of each match will enter the top five, and then the final round will be held to determine the first place."
"I declare the second round, the first battle."
"Li Yuan vs. Bai Chuanming!!" the host said in a loud voice.
call!call!
Li Yuan and Bai Chuanming were instantly teleported to the stage, immediately attracting countless people's attention.
Both of them.
One is hailed as the greatest contemporary talent on Blue Star.
The other one just showed great strength and is considered by many to have a chance to break into the top five.
Now they have collided.
"Li Yuan."
"Bai Chuan Ming! You are the strongest."
"Baichuan will definitely win the championship." On the viewing stand, thunderous cheers from countless spectators from Xia Country and Sakura Country rang out.
...in the arena.
"Mr. Li Yuan, you are indeed powerful, but I will never give up." Bai Chuanming held the sword with both hands and stared at Li Yuan.
"Your sword is very fast." Li Yuan was very calm, holding the spear, and smiled slightly: "Come on, let me see how fast your sword can be."
