The ten Star Realm Battlefields were held simultaneously, and the top hundred rankings for each battlefield were displayed in the Tournament Space.
With so many participants, only the top ten experts in each battlefield received a "full-screen broadcast" in the Tournament Space.
Previously, Li Yuan had never made it into the top ten of his battlefield, so only some students from Xia Country, Sakura Country, the East Asian Association, Tianzhu, and other regions had been following his matches.
But compared to the nearly five million viewers, they were still only a small minority.
Now, however, the moment he appeared on the full-screen broadcast, the attention on him soared.
"He's a first-year freshman?"
"A first-year freshman made it into the battlefield's top ten? That seems pretty impressive."
"Other than Dantai Feng, he seems to be the only first-year freshman to have done it."
"For now, that's true."
"The two most dazzling first-year freshmen in the world are both from Xia Country. Xia Country truly produces talents in endless streams." Li Yuan swiftly entered the view of millions of Martial Arts University students around the world. The number of viewers following him shot up from just over three hundred thousand to nearly a million.
"As expected of Li Yuan!"
"Li Yuan is so powerful!"
"I said it long ago—Li Yuan would never be weak. He would definitely shine brilliantly in the Global University Martial Arts Tournament." Many students from Sakura Country were especially excited instead.
Before the Virtual War, aside from Xia Country, the country that paid the most attention to Li Yuan—and where his popularity was highest—was actually Sakura Country.
The reason was simple.
During the Ten-School Freshman Tournament, Li Yuan had forcefully defeated Sakura Country's genius at the time, Kimura Tatsuo, leaving a deep impression on many Sakura Country students.
