Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Insights into Spear Techniques
"Li Yuan directly blocks Kimura Tatsuo, is he going to fight him head-on?"
"Are they going to face off directly?" The entire stands instantly boiled with excitement.
On the massive broadcasting screens suspended high in the air, the scenes of Li Yuan and Kimura Tatsuo\'s confrontation were simultaneously displayed.
"Senior Brother is so domineering."
"He goes straight for the strongest."
"With Senior Brother\'s strength, defeating this Kimura should be effortless." The students of Kunlun Martial University were also in an uproar, their eyes wide open.
"Li Yuan provoking Kimura-kun right off the bat is absolutely a mistake."
"Kimura-kun is the strongest."
"Kimura is the strongest martial arts genius from Japan this time, he will definitely challenge for first place." A large number of students from Japan were frantically shouting.
They were even continuously sending barrage messages, engaging in \'friendly exchanges\' with the students from China.
They were fewer in number, but their fighting spirit was strong.
"Not easy to fight."
"Li Yuan\'s spear technique is extremely fierce, it feels no weaker than Tantai Feng, Kimura-kun might not win." A few Japanese students were also rational.
"Their confrontation should be the pinnacle of the second round."
"Li Yuan is more domineering."
"But Kimura Tatsuo is not weak either." The majority of the students watching were optimistic about Li Yuan.
However, in the first round of the cage battle, Kimura Tatsuo also performed quite well.
Who will win this fight?
...
"Li Yang." Morita Daikong, in the spectator space belonging to the teachers, looked down at the scene on the stage with anger, glaring at Li Yang.
"Not my fault."
"I just relayed exactly what you said to my student." Li Yang looked innocent, "Then my student said he had to seek guidance from Kimura Tatsuo, to learn from the expert."
"Hahaha!" Dozens of teachers from various schools couldn\'t help but laugh.
"Wait."
"Li Yang, don\'t be smug." Morita Daikong gritted his teeth, "Who wins and who loses is not certain yet."
"Uh-huh, you\'re right." Li Yang smiled, "Watch, they\'re starting to fight."
...
Li Yuan\'s action attracted attention from all sides, but he himself was not aware of it.
Li Yuan only knew that since the teacher had given the order, he must try his best to complete the task.
"Clang~"
The two spears collided violently, and then Kimura Tatsuo\'s spear moved, trying to redirect Li Yuan\'s spear to the side.
"Such skillful force." Li Yuan\'s eyes brightened. As soon as they exchanged blows, he felt the difference between his spear technique and Kimura Tatsuo\'s.
His own spear was heavy and steady, emphasizing stability and resilience during defense.
One word, heavy.
But Kimura Tatsuo\'s spear technique was based on "entanglement," with one move following another, endlessly.
"Fight for a while longer, such a spear technique is rare to experience." Li Yuan\'s mindset immediately changed.
He initially wanted to end the battle quickly, but Kimura Tatsuo\'s spear technique gave him many insights.
He wanted to try a bit more.
As for the total score ranking? Tantai Feng\'s forfeit earlier had made Li Yuan much calmer. Is the first place in the second round important?
Entering the top eight, straight into the fourth round, is what matters.
With the score Li Yuan achieved in the first round, as long as he survives until the end of the second round, he would firmly enter the top eight.
"Clang!"
"Clang! Clang!"
Li Yuan\'s spear moved like a serpent, countless spear shadows bursting out, instantly forming a huge circle around him with the "Stellar Rising" technique.
Stars like a ball! Spear tip drawing circles!
Each time, blocking Kimura Tatsuo\'s spear attacks, no matter how frantically he attacked, the spear shadows flickered, but he couldn\'t shake Li Yuan\'s defense.
"Steady as a mountain, the spear forms a circle." Kimura Tatsuo finally felt the terror of Li Yuan.
An impregnable defense.
Whether he thrust, swept, or slashed furiously, Li Yuan easily blocked and deflected the force, even counterattacking in turn.
"Bang~"
Li Yuan\'s occasional counterattacks made Kimura Tatsuo extremely uncomfortable, having to fight with all his might to block.
"His technique, his body strength exploitation, far surpasses mine." Kimura Tatsuo, after all, was a mid-fourth-stage expert, quickly realizing this point.
Li Yuan was merely using him as a whetstone.
"Are all Chinese people this strong?"
"Tantai Feng was despairingly strong, and this Li Yuan is equally formidable?" A sliver of powerlessness sprouted in Kimura Tatsuo\'s heart.
But immediately, his eyes flashed with ferocity, "Fight, I don\'t believe it."
"Using me as a whetstone?"
"Be careful not to chip your blade, becoming my whetstone instead." Kimura Tatsuo went mad, attacking Li Yuan with all his might.
He knew that with his first-round score, he was enough to enter the top 136.
Top eight? With Li Yuan in the way, there was no hope.
Then fight desperately, defeat Li Yuan.
"Boom! Boom!!" The two engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle, their spears clashing with extreme ferocity, making other participants instinctively avoid them.
Their battle was too intense.
Although all participants had the same physical attributes, Li Yuan and Kimura Tatsuo, one nearing fourth-stage perfection, the other nearing high fourth-stage, their exploitation of body strength far surpassed the others.
The power and speed of their spear movements didn\'t seem like those of a 10.0-level physique.
Time passed.
The number of people on the stage kept decreasing, 180, 150, 120... but Li Yuan and Kimura Tatsuo were still fiercely battling.
Their fight also completely excited the entire spectator stand, countless spectators shouting excitedly.
"So fierce, this is a true expert duel."
"Haha, this is the most intense battle in the Ten Schools Freshman Battle so far."
"Li Yuan\'s defense is impregnable, and Kimura Tatsuo\'s attacks are wild." Countless spectators discussed.
"It shouldn\'t be like this! With Li Yuan\'s strength, he should be able to end this quickly." Many strong spectators were puzzled.
Given the strength Li Yuan showed in the first round, he should easily crush Kimura Tatsuo.
...
"I told you, Kimura-kun is the strongest, forcing Li Yuan into full defense."
"Kimura will win." Many japanese spectators kept sending barrage messages.
Many japanese students, lacking enough insight, naturally believed that the attacking side was stronger.
Suddenly—
"Boom~" A dull sound.
Li Yuan, who had been defending all this time, suddenly twisted his spear, redirecting Kimura Tatsuo\'s spear, and then the spearhead burst out like a hidden dragon from the starry depths, its speed soaring to the extreme.
Lightning-fast, it pierced Kimura Tatsuo, the terrifying impact sending him flying.
He crashed heavily to the ground, blood oozing from his mouth.
"You!" Kimura Tatsuo, struggling to keep hold of his spear, looked incredulously at the suddenly exploding Li Yuan.
"Thank you."
"Without your spear technique, perhaps I wouldn\'t have realized the key to my spear technique so quickly." Li Yuan held his spear in his right hand, quite composed: "It\'s just a pity that your spear technique isn\'t strong enough."
If Kimura Tatsuo\'s spear technique were high fourth-stage, Li Yuan believed he would gain even more.
But unfortunately, Kimura Tatsuo wasn\'t that strong.
"If my spear technique were stronger, you might not be able to defend." Kimura Tatsuo gritted his teeth.
"Really?"
"Hope you can withstand my spear attacks." Li Yuan smiled, not bothering to talk further.
Boom!
Li Yuan moved again, his silver spear bursting out like a silver flash, roaring and thrusting forward.
"Ha!"
Kimura Tatsuo, blood at the corner of his mouth, roared, charging and wielding his spear to block.
"Boom~"
Spears clashed.
Li Yuan\'s spear pressed down, his waist twisting to unleash even more force, directly knocking away Kimura Tatsuo\'s spear.
"Not good." Kimura Tatsuo\'s face changed dramatically.
Boom! A spear shadow followed, like a rolling star crashing down, directly towards him.
Starry Spear Technique, Fourth Move—Meteor Strike.
Li Yuan\'s moves were too fast, compared to when he defeated Fang Kui in the first round, his spear technique was now smoother, and the speed made Kimura Tatsuo unable to defend.
His spear hadn\'t even retracted, and he could only instinctively raise his left arm to block.
"Crack!" The sound of a breaking arm.
The spear\'s terrifying impact sent Kimura Tatsuo flying, the spear tip slashing down his face.
Before Kimura Tatsuo even landed, he disappeared from the stage.
Defeat!
Once Li Yuan exploded, it took only a few moves to defeat Kimura Tatsuo.
"Hmm?"
"Only seventy people left?" Li Yuan scanned the stage, "Enough."
"The battle with Kimura Tatsuo was worth years of my own understanding." Li Yuan was quite pleased, "A few points less, so be it."
Practicing techniques is like this.
Sometimes, diligent practice and deep contemplation yield no results, but a single battle or a glimpse of a certain scene can bring instant enlightenment.
"Finish quickly and return to practice. I might just grasp the complete understanding."
Boom! Li Yuan\'s figure moved, charging forward fiercely. His spear danced, creating a series of spear shadows, sending droplets of blood flying through the air as one participant after another fell.
His score skyrocketed.
...
"Victory!"
"Li Yuan is amazing."
"Li Yuan." The tens of thousands of chinese students in the stands were thrilled, cheering and encouraging Li Yuan.
First, he defeated Fang Kui, and then Kimura Tatsuo.
The opponents in the two battles were different.
But in any battle, once Li Yuan began to attack, no one could withstand more than a few moves.
...
"Is it over just like that?"
"Once Li Yuan started attacking, Kimura couldn\'t even hold off ten strikes?"
"Is there such a big gap between Kimura-kun and Li Yuan?" The numerous japanese students who had previously supported Kimura Tatsuo were dumbfounded, finding it hard to accept this outcome.
"Li Yuan-kun\'s spear is so powerful; he is the true spear genius."
"It\'s a pity that such a powerful Li Yuan-kun is not a genius of our Sakura Country."
"With Li Yuan\'s strength, he will surely claim the championship."
"It\'s not that Kimura-kun is weak, but Li Yuan is too strong, without any weaknesses, simply a hexagonal warrior." Quickly, many japanese students began to praise and support Li Yuan.
Only the strong earn their admiration.
