High-Level Martial Era

Absolute speed itself signifies tremendous might.

...

The first round of the finals, the tenth match.

Jin Huguo won!

He and another martial arts prodigy "Alvis" fought a fierce battle, lasting over ten minutes.

It was the longest fight among the ten matches.

Keep in mind, most of the previous fights ended within three minutes, as all participants didn't have Origin Power Battle Suits for protection, and the fights were close combat. A slight lapse was all it took for a fatal consequence.

The fact that the fight reached a staggering ten minutes shows that the strengths of both sides were exceedingly close.

Eventually, Jin Huguo won by a hair's breadth... The calmness tinged with madness in the final stage of the battle shocked countless spectators.

"Senior Brother Jin is really impressive."

"In terms of strength, he and Alvis are neck and neck," Li Yuan marveled silently, "Perhaps Senior Brother Jin's actual strength is slightly weaker, but his decisiveness in life-and-death situations far surpasses his opponent."

Li Yuan questioned if he could have done any better himself in such decisive moments.

Li Yuan couldn't help but think of the battle between Jin Huguo and Harmon.

Though clearly inferior in strength, Jin managed to nearly reach mutual destruction against Harmon with his terrifying battle awareness.

Thus far,

the top ten of the virtual battle were all selected!

...

In front of over six million spectators,

the time had arrived at nine o'clock in the evening.

"Yin Man, Dantai Feng, Li Yuan, Jin Huguo, Bai Chuanming, Harmon, Raja, Nevsky, Alicia, Amos," the host announced excitedly, "let us congratulate these ten geniuses, they are the top ten of this session's virtual battle."

"Li Yuan!"

"Yin Man!"

"Harmon." Millions of spectators were extremely excited, many even waving their arms.

Especially the over one million Xia Country spectators, they were ecstatic!!

"Haha, four out of the top ten geniuses are from our Xia Country."

"It's a pity that if Dantai Feng and Yu Mingwei hadn't faced each other, maybe we could have had five spots."

Occupying four out of the ten spots indeed stood out.

However, those who were most excited and frenzied were the students and teachers of Kunlun Martial University.

Because among the ten spots, Kunlun Martial University accounted for two – Li Yuan, Jin Huguo.

...

In a higher-tier spectator space,

"Haha, two of the top ten geniuses are from our Kunlun Martial University," Li Yang boasted proudly to the surrounding Top Grade Origin Martial Artists, "Old Liu, look at your school, it hasn't had a top ten for so many years."

"Look at you, so smug."

"Over such a small matter."

"This Li Yang always loves to show off," vice-principals from Xia Country's other four famous schools couldn't help but mock.

"What do you mean 'show off'?" Li Yang glared, "This is called confidence! If you had students this amazing, you'd be more confident than me."

"Don't think I don't know what you guys are like."

...

The top ten geniuses of the virtual battle were selected.

After only ten minutes of rest, the second round of the finals was about to begin – the top five.

The matches would be randomly paired by the virtual network system.

"Good!"

"The pairing is complete," the host stated solemnly as he looked at the freshly printed list of match orders, "In the top five, the victor of each fight will break into the top five, and then the final round will determine the champion."

"I announce, the first fight of the second round."

"Li Yuan versus Bai Chuanming!!" the host's voice was full of vigor.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan and Bai Chuanming were instantly transported to the ring, immediately drawing the attention of countless viewers.

These two,

one hailed as the number one talent of the current era from Blue Star.

The other had just shown formidable strength and was considered by many to have a chance to break into the top five.

And now they were clashing together.

"Li Yuan."

"Bai Chuanming, you are the strongest."

"Bai Chuan will definitely take the championship," cheers thundered from the Spectator Platform from countless Xia Country and Sakura Country spectators.

...On the ring.

"Li Yuan, your strength is indeed formidable, but I will not give up," Bai Chuanming, gripping his sword tightly, stared fixedly at Li Yuan.

"Your sword is very fast," Li Yuan said calmly, holding his long spear with a slight smile, "Come on, let's see how fast your sword can be."
