The eerie silence inside Jintan Sports Hall lasted for a few seconds before everyone seemed to awaken from a dream, bursting into chaotic and loud exclamations and cheers.

The audience present didn't even know what their emotions were; events had unfolded far beyond expectations.

Even if they despised Beo's arrogance, they could recognize Beo's strength. They hoped for Gao Xuan to win, yet they didn't quite believe he could.

In the end, Gao Xuan's sword descended like a divine mountain, effortlessly crushing Beo.

Such a simple and easy victory was actually hard for the audience to accept.

It was only after they came to their senses that they realized it was true and could accept the fruits of victory.

The cheers were their praise for Gao Xuan, an honor they bestowed upon him.

Someone started shouting "Taihua Sword Immortal," and it quickly resonated. The four words of "Taihua Sword Immortal," shouted by hundreds of thousands of people, pierced the dome and spread in all directions.

With this sword, Gao Xuan established an indomitable image in the hearts of all the spectators.

Such intense emotional fluctuations would continually infect those around, even radiating outwards through video signals.

The emotional burst of every person could at least provide Gao Xuan one thousand spiritual spirits.

Tens of billions of people could equal trillions of spiritual spirits. Moreover, there would be a continuous influx of spiritual spirits into the Celestial Demon Relic.

Watching the spiritual spirits pouring down like a torrential rain, Gao Xuan's heart was extremely satisfied.

Honestly, the psychological need to show off brings a strong sense of accomplishment. It made him like this world even more.

Just this point alone gives showing off significant importance.

Showing off can also absorb spiritual spirits, which gives it practical utility.

Simultaneously, showing off can also attract women.

Thus, showing off hits three birds with one stone, open to no objections.

Gao Xuan didn't kill Beo; since Beo withdrew his hand without chopping Yun Qingshang, there was no need to kill him.

In passing, Gao Xuan also gave Lin Chaotong and Wang Jia Yi a profound lesson. Whether they accept the lesson or bear a grudge is their choice.

These people were not on Gao Xuan's mind.

The people from Celestial Whale University also reacted, with Rhea bringing up doctors, Helen, and others onto the stage.

A group of people surrounded Beo, a bit tense.

Gao Xuan's vigorous and magnificent sword qi directly crushed Beo. Although Beo was still alive according to life signs, it was uncertain if his mental consciousness had suffered an impact.

The doctor examined Beo and injected a special potion.

With a start, Beo slowly opened his eyes. Seeing his once-distracted gaze gradually focus, the surrounding group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Beo still seemed dazed, he was clearly conscious.

Helen said softly to Gao Xuan, "Thank you."

Everyone could see that Gao Xuan's sword qi far exceeded Beo's; he could have killed Beo effortlessly.

Gao Xuan smiled slightly, "We're family, no need for thanks."

Helen gave Gao Xuan a sideways glance, her charming and lovely demeanor extremely captivating, leaving a few members of the Celestial Whale Sword Team staring blankly.

Gao Xuan, annoyed, said, "Quit staring, quickly take this weakling away."

A few team members, faces full of embarrassment, hurriedly assisted Beo down.

Rhea gazed deeply at Gao Xuan, her eyes very complicated.

Minos, gripping his longsword tightly, said to Gao Xuan, "Don't get cocky, the match isn't over yet!"

"Come."

Gao Xuan waved his hand, indicating that Minos could come up and make a move.

The on-site referee briefly checked Minos' weapon, signaling that he could officially enter the arena.

Helen looked at Gao Xuan complexly. Just from Gao Xuan's previous sword, Minos had a very slim chance of winning.

Ultimately, she feared she would have to take the stage for a chance to win.

The arena was quickly cleared, with the severely injured Beo being carried away for treatment. The audience seats where heavily injured Wang Jia Yi and Lin Chaotong were also had medical staff carry them away.

With such a big event happening, Lin Liang had no interest in watching the battle. He escorted the two wounded away.

The news of Wang Jia Yi and Lin Chaotong's injuries was also reported back.

Lin Liang was certain that all this was done intentionally by Gao Xuan. Wang Jia Yi and Lin Chaotong had just spoken ill of Gao Xuan, and then they were gravely injured by a flying broken sword. How could this be a coincidence!

The meticulous control exhibited also showed Gao Xuan's complete dominance over the battle. This young man was simply formidable!

Even as Lin Liang was shocked, he hoped that the Lin Family and the Wang Family would quickly deal with Gao Xuan. Such a young sword hero, already this fearsome, who on Taurus could stop him once he matured?

Lan Chang'an was the best example. Staying in his lair, he was forcibly killed by a powerful invader.

It's hard to imagine that such a level of strongman exists on Taurus!

Lin Liang couldn't help but think of Gao Xuan, similarly unreasonable, similarly unconstrained, and being from the Xiao Family, could he be behind the Lanting Garden incident?

This thought flashed by, and Lin Liang didn't take it seriously. Given Gao Xuan's age, it was impossible for him to possess such power!

Lin Liang knew that the Lin Family and the Wang Family had already secretly invited strongmen and were busy with big matters. They probably wouldn't have time to deal with Gao Xuan immediately.

As Lin Liang left, he cast a deep look at Gao Xuan; this matter wasn't over!

Gao Xuan sensed Lin Liang's deep malice, which, though no threat to him, represented the stance of the Lin Family and the Wang Family.

Minos couldn't care less about what Gao Xuan was thinking. He raised his thrusting sword to gesture at Gao Xuan, with crackling electric sparks dazzling on the fine and sharp sword, resembling a magician's sparkler.

All the audience present couldn't help but be drawn to the thrusting sword.

Minos twisted the thrusting sword, transforming it into a sharp bolt of lightning striking directly at Gao Xuan.

The thrusting sword seemed to completely turn into light, moving with extreme speed. The electric flash reached Gao Xuan in an instant.

Members from Celestial Whale University, including Rhea and Helen, were watching the arena with some tension.

Minos was most skilled with the Maze Sword. This swordsmanship was extraordinarily complex and intricate, leaving others unable to judge it.

Without a special countermeasure, those who faced Minos would always be trapped by his swordsmanship, unable to make the right judgment.

The higher the Source Power Level, the more refined the control needed. In a true sword duel, one wrong judgment could change the outcome of the battle.

Gao Xuan displayed an immensely powerful Sword Qi, making it clear that Minos was not Gao Xuan's match in strength, and he could only rely on his skillful techniques to win.

The dazzling electric light from the thrusting sword was also a subtle variation of the Maze Sword.

Although Minos' strike appeared to be a straightforward thrust, in reality, it was a diagonal chop. This subtle and nuanced difference was enough to win if Gao Xuan made an incorrect judgment.

Just as the electric light descended, Gao Xuan suddenly drew his sword, the clear blade deflecting the thrusting sword and piercing Minos in the forehead.

Minos' face armor was penetrated by the sword's edge, and he dared not move.

"All flashy tricks and deceptions..."

Gao Xuan sheathed his sword and said with amusement, "Didn't you see I'm blind? What good are those eye-deceiving tricks?"

The audio equipment around the arena clearly picked up Gao Xuan's words and transmitted them to all the audience present.

Tens of thousands of spectators burst into laughter together.

Indeed, Minos' thrusting sword, with its electric light flashing, was very dazzling and had a strong misleading effect. Tens of thousands of spectators were deceived.

However, since Gao Xuan was blind, these flashy effects were useless. Everyone thought Minos was quite foolish.

Minos' face turned pale with embarrassment from the laughter. His Maze Sword relied on Sword Intent to bewilder the heart, not as simple as using electric light to confuse the eyes.

With Gao Xuan's words, he became like a second-rate magician.

But he wasn't good with words, and the subtlety of the Maze Sword wasn't something that could be explained in a sentence or two.

Minos could only leave the stage, uninjured but seen as a fool by everyone, losing more embarrassingly than Beo.

After all, he was just a young man in his early twenties, and being mocked by the ignorant audience made him feel extremely ashamed.

Minos left the stage dejectedly. Head coach Rhea stood up to welcome Minos, "Don't be discouraged. You did well enough."

Rhea believed Minos had given his all, and it couldn't be helped that Gao Xuan wasn't affected by the Maze Sword at all.

Helen stood up in her battle armor and said to the teammate beside her, "Let me go."

The teammate ready to go onto the stage looked a bit troubled at Rhea, who nodded, "Let Helen go."

Considering Gao Xuan's strength, simply using manpower to exhaust him was meaningless. Others going up would only result in abuse and severe mental blows.

Just like Minos, who, despite being uninjured, was in worse condition than the seriously injured Beo.

Rhea asked Helen, "What are your thoughts?"

"Gao Xuan's Source Power should have reached the level of 500,000. He's on the same level as me, but his swordsmanship is more skillful, and his Quick Sword is unimaginably fast."

Helen said seriously, "I can only try with my ultimate move."

Rhea couldn't help but sigh. They had suspected Gao Xuan wasn't simple, but his overwhelming strength still shocked them.

Judged by the standards of a Sword Hero, in terms of Source Power, strength, speed, technique, and awareness, Gao Xuan was nearly perfect in each aspect.

Rhea also couldn't see any weaknesses in Gao Xuan—there wasn't any effective tactic she, as the head coach, could provide.

"Don't push yourself."

Rhea said gently, "If we lose this year, there's always next year."

Helen's ultimate skill had immense power and was difficult to control. If Gao Xuan countered with equal force, the outcome would be uncertain.

After all, it was just a match and not worth risking everything.

Helen nodded, "Teacher, I know what to do."

The Deep Blue Armor couldn't hide Helen's beauty, nor could it conceal her potent charm.

Seeing Helen step onto the stage, many male spectators exclaimed with admiration.

"For the honor of the school and the Sword Hero, I will give my best to defeat you. I hope you do the same."

Helen's beautiful green eyes looked directly at Gao Xuan, her expression solemn and serious.

Gao Xuan originally wanted to make a few jokes, but Helen's demeanor prevented him from being too frivolous.

"Celestial Whale University, Helen, please."

"Golden Bull University, Gao Xuan, please."

Both drew their swords at the same time, Helen's green eyes suddenly shone brilliantly, and hundreds of incandescent bolts of lightning illuminated around her.

The fierce momentum of lightning enveloped the entire sports hall, with all the spectators feeling the thunderous force surging through the air.

The intense electrical reaction even disrupted various wireless devices on site, as countless electronics sparked and fizzled from the electrical surges. The lighting equipment was affected by the electric glow, plunging the entire sports hall into darkness.

At the center of the arena, Helen's body was surrounded by increasingly intense electric light. Throughout the arena, millions of electric bolts dazzled back and forth, like a thunderstorm.

Gao Xuan could feel that the invisible Sea of Source Power was being drawn by the girl before him, converting the endless torrent of Source Power into streams of thunder.

The next sword Helen would unleash was surely one of her ace moves: the Thunderstorm Sword!

Gao Xuan sighed to himself, "Ah, women... Last life, she called me little Xuan Xuan, and now she's trying to chop me into ashes..."
