Chapter 137: Gun Dao Realization
Chapter 137: Gun Dao Realization
As soon as the battle began, Li Yuan blocked Kimura Toshio, and this scene was naturally witnessed by hundreds of thousands of spectators on the spectator stands.
After all, the highlight of the 17th Cage Free-for-All was the showdown between Li Yuan and Kimura Toshio.
"Quick!"
"Li Yuan directly blocked Kimura Toshio, is he going to fight him directly?"
"Could it be that they're going to face off against each other?" The entire spectator stand instantly erupted in excitement.
In an instant, the huge broadcast screens suspended high above simultaneously displayed the scene of Li Yuan and Kimura Toshio's confrontation.
"Senior Brother is so domineering."
"He's going straight for the strongest opponent."
"With Senior Brother's strength, defeating Kimura should be a piece of cake." The students of Kunlun Martial University were also thrilled, all of them staring intently.
...
"Li Yuan's provocation towards Kimura-kun is definitely a wrong choice."
"Kimura-kun is the strongest."
"Kimura is our Sakura Nation's most outstanding martial arts genius this time, and he will definitely be able to challenge for first place." A large number of students from Sakura Nation were going crazy, shouting passionately.
They even kept sending danmu, engaging in 'friendly exchanges' with the students from Xia Nation.
Although they were fewer in number, their combat strength was formidable.
"This won't be easy."
"Li Yuan's gun technique is extremely fierce, and I don't think he's any weaker than Dantai Feng. Kimura-kun might not be able to win." A small number of Sakura Nation students were quite rational.
...
"Their confrontation will definitely be the pinnacle of the tournament."
"Li Yuan is even more domineering."
"But Kimura Toshio is also formidable." The majority of the spectators favored Li Yuan.
However, in the first round of the Cage Free-for-All, Kimura Toshio's performance was also quite impressive.
In this battle, who will emerge victorious?
"Li Yang." In the spectator space of various teachers, Senada Daiku looked down at the scene on the arena, glaring at Li Yang.
"It's not my fault."
"I merely repeated your words verbatim to my student." Li Yang looked innocent: "Then my student said that he must seek guidance from Kimura Toshio and learn from a superior expert."
"Hahaha!" Dozens of teachers from various schools couldn't help but laugh.
"Wait."
"Li Yang, don't get too complacent." Senada Daiku gritted his teeth: "It's not certain who will win or lose yet."
"Yeah, yeah, what you said is right." Li Yang smiled: "Look, they've started fighting."
...
Li Yuan's actions attracted everyone's attention, but he himself didn't have such a realization.
Li Yuan only knew that since the teacher had given the order, he must do his best to complete the task.
"Clang~"
The two long spears collided, and as Kimura Toshio's spear danced, he tried to shift Li Yuan's spear's force to one side.
"What a subtle force." Li Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and as soon as they engaged, he felt the difference between Kimura Toshio's gun technique and his own.
His spear was heavy and powerful, emphasizing stability like a mountain when defending.
In a word, heavy.
However, Kimura Toshio's gun technique was characterized by the word 'entangle'. With one spear attack ending, another would immediately follow, continuous and endless.
"It's rare to gain such insight from this gun technique." Li Yuan thought to himself, he had originally wanted to quickly resolve the battle, but Kimura Toshio's gun technique gave Li Yuan much inspiration.
He wanted to try it out for a while longer.
As for the total score ranking? After Dantai Feng's concession, Li Yuan also calmed down. Was the second-round score that important? As long as he made it to the top eight, he could directly advance to the fourth round.
With Li Yuan's first-round score, as long as he survived until the end of the second round, he would securely enter the top eight.
"Clang!"
"Clang! Clang!"
Li Yuan's spear danced, like a giant snake coiling, countless spear lights erupted, and he instantly executed 'Stellar Dawn', forming a huge circle around him.
The stars were like a ball! The spear tip drew a circle! Blocking Kimura Toshio's spear attacks one after another.
"Steady as a mountain, the spear is like a circle." Kimura Toshio finally felt Li Yuan's terror.
His defense was impenetrable.
Whether it was a thrust, a sweep, or a fierce slash, Li Yuan would easily block it and divert the force, even counterattacking in the process.
"Bang!"
Occasionally, Li Yuan's spear would counterattack, making Kimura Toshio feel extremely uncomfortable, and he had to struggle to defend against it.
"His technique and his ability to harness his physical strength far surpass mine." After all, Kimura Toshio was a Fourth Stage Midrank expert, and he quickly understood this.
Li Yuan was using him as a whetstone.
"Are all Xia Nationals this strong?"
"Dantai Feng is so strong that it's despairing, and Li Yuan is also this formidable?" Kimura Toshio felt a hint of helplessness.
But soon, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes: "I'll give it my all, I refuse to believe it."
"Are you using me as a whetstone?"
"Be careful not to chip your blade, or you might become my whetstone instead." Kimura Toshio also went crazy, attacking Li Yuan with all his strength.
He also knew that with his first-round score, he could easily break into the top 136.
Top eight? With Li Yuan blocking the way, there was no hope.
So, he would fight with all his might, determined to defeat Li Yuan.
"Boom! Boom!!" The two of them engaged in an incredibly intense offense and defense battle, the clash of their long spears was fierce and sharp, causing the other participants nearby to instinctively avoid them.
The battle between the two was incredibly fierce.
Although all participants had the same physical attributes, Li Yuan and Kimura Toshio were both close to Fourth Stage Perfect and Fourth Stage High Rank respectively, far surpassing the others in their physical prowess.
The power and speed with which they wielded their spears were not characteristic of a 10.0-level physical attribute.
Time passed.
The number of people on the battle arena gradually decreased—180, 150, 120... But Li Yuan and Kimura Toshio continued their intense fight.
Their fierce combat captivated the entire spectator stand, with countless onlookers cheering and shouting in excitement.
"So fierce! This is a true battle between experts."
"Haha, this is the most intense fight in the Ten University Freshman Tournament so far."
"Li Yuan's defense is flawless, and Kimura Toshio's offense is ferocious," countless spectators commented.
"It shouldn't be like this! With Li Yuan's strength, he should have quickly defeated Kimura Toshio." Many powerful onlookers were filled with doubt.
Given Li Yuan's strength displayed in the first round, he should have easily crushed Kimura Toshio.
...
"I told you, Kimura-kun is the strongest. He forced Li Yuan to go all out on defense."
"Kimura will definitely win." Many Sakura Nation spectators sent messages on the screen.
Many Sakura Nation students had limited exposure, naturally assuming that the attacking side was stronger.
Suddenly—
"Boom~" A dull sound reverberated.
Li Yuan, who had been defending with all his might, suddenly spun his spear, causing Kimura Toshio's spear to fly away. In that instant, the spearhead, like a dragon hidden in the depths of the starry sea, erupted with a burst of speed, reaching its peak.
It struck Kimura Toshio like lightning, and the terrifying impact sent him flying.
"You!" Kimura Toshio struggled to hold onto his spear, his eyes widening in disbelief as he stared at the suddenly erupting Li Yuan.
"Thank you."
"Without your spear technique, perhaps I wouldn't have realized the key to my own so quickly." Li Yuan held his spear in his right hand, saying, "It's just a pity that your spear technique isn't strong enough."
If Kimura Toshio's spear technique had been at the Fourth Stage High Rank, Li Yuan believed he would have gained even more.
Unfortunately, Kimura Toshio wasn't that strong.
"If my spear technique were stronger, you might not have been able to hold out," Kimura Toshio gritted his teeth.
"Is that so?"
"I hope you can withstand my spear technique," Li Yuan smiled, not bothering with further idle chatter.
Boom! Li Yuan surged forward, and his silver spear erupted like a flash of silver light, whistling as it thrust forward.
"Hah!"
Kimura Toshio's mouth was stained with blood, and he roared, charging forward to block with his spear.
"Boom~"
The spears collided.
Li Yuan's spear pressed down, and with a twist of his waist, it unleashed an even stronger impact, directly knocking Kimura Toshio's spear away.
"Oh no!" Kimura Toshio's face paled.
Boom! A spear shadow swiftly followed, like rolling stars crushing down, directly attacking him.
Stellar Gun Technique - Falling Star Heavenly Descent.
Li Yuan's moves were too fast to keep up with. Compared to his first-round victory over Fang Kui, his spear technique had become more refined, and his speed was so swift that Kimura Toshio couldn't block it at all.
He didn't have time to retract his spear and could only instinctively raise his left hand to block.
"Crack!" The sound of a breaking arm.
The spear, carrying a terrifying impact, sliced Kimura Toshio in half, and the spearhead slashed across his face from top to bottom.
Before Kimura Toshio even landed, he had disappeared from the arena.
Defeat!
Once Li Yuan unleashed his power, it only took a few moves to defeat Kimura Toshio.
"Hmm?"
"Only about seventy people left?" Li Yuan scanned the entire arena: "That's enough."
"The battle with Kimura Toshio was worth the solitary enlightenment I gained." Li Yuan felt delighted: "A few less points won't matter."
Skill cultivation is like this.
Sometimes, no matter how hard you practice or how long you ponder, you can't seem to make progress. But occasionally, a single battle or a glimpse of a particular scene can lead to sudden enlightenment.
"I'll finish this quickly and go back to practicing my spear. Maybe I can fully comprehend it."
Boom! Li Yuan surged forward, his spear creating a trail of shadows that filled the air with blood, and one by one, the combatants fell.
His score soared.
...
"Victory!"
"Li Yuan is amazing."
"Li Yuan!" The entire spectator stand, filled with hundreds of thousands of Xia Nation students, erupted in cheers and applause.
First defeating Fang Kui, then Kimura Toshio.
The opponents in both battles were different.
But in either case, once Li Yuan unleashed his attacks, no one could withstand more than a few moves.
...
"Is it over so soon?"
"After Li Yuan's eruption, Kimura couldn't even block ten moves?"
"Is the gap between Kimura-kun and Li Yuan so huge?" Many Sakura Nation students who had initially supported Kimura Toshio were left dumbfounded, unable to accept what they had just witnessed.
"Li Yuan's spear is so powerful. He is the true genius of Gun Dao."
"It's a pity that such a talented Li Yuan isn't from our Sakura Nation."
"With Li Yuan's strength, he can definitely achieve greatness."
"It's not that Kimura-kun is weak, but Li Yuan is too strong. He has no weaknesses, a true Hexagonal Warrior." Many Sakura Nation students quickly began to praise and support Li Yuan.
Only the strong receive their admiration.
