Chapter 350: The Battle Begins_2
The Beautiful Girl Sword Hero from Chang'an University was also surprised. She too learned from Lan Tiange's lesson and exerted her full strength from the start.
As a result, Bai Yunfeng was no match.
The atmosphere in the arena was a bit awkward. There was even laughter from the audience seats.
A doctor came up to give Bai Yunfeng a simple checkup, and after ensuring there were no major issues, he was carried off immediately.
Bai Yunfeng's crushing defeat actually lightened the mood considerably at the scene.
There are indeed instances of such quick defeats in formal competitions, but it's rare to see someone like Bai Yunfeng get knocked out so quickly.
Waiting to take the stage, Lan Tianshou suddenly felt enormous pressure, his palms even started to sweat. He took several deep breaths to adjust his Source Power, but couldn't calm down.
"The opponent is also Level 11, with Source Power similar to yours. She always turns left a bit slower. Diagonal slashes are feints. When her most powerful diagonal slash comes down, use White Rainbow Piercing the Sun to parry it, then slash her left knee with Weed-Searching Snake, and you'll have a chance to win."
Gao Xuan's guidance seemed casual, almost like idle chatter. Yet, for some reason, Lan Tianshou felt a newfound calmness and five percent more confidence in victory.
After taking the stage, Lan Tianshou indeed found his opponent's Source Power level similar to his. It's just that her swordsmanship was more refined and exquisite.
Once they started fighting, Lan Tianshou was immediately suppressed. However, he defended steadily and managed to always retreat towards her weak side. Although it didn't look good on the surface, he managed to hold his ground.
The Beautiful Girl Sword Hero from Chang'an University became anxious as her aggressive attacks failed to break through. She seized an opportunity with a fierce, aggressive diagonal slash, attempting to force Lan Tianshou back, but unexpectedly, Lan Tianshou countered it directly.
The two swords clashed, and Lan Tianshou, using all his strength, deflected the opponent's sword. He moved forward diagonally, swinging his sword to sweep across and slash the Beautiful Girl Sword Hero's left knee.
The Beautiful Girl's leg went limp, and her stance collapsed. Taking advantage of this, Lan Tianshou launched a fierce attack, rapidly stabbing and breaking through her defense, leaving three sword marks on her armor.
The referee sounded the Golden Gong, and Lan Tianshou achieved victory in the match.
Lan Tianshou was greatly surprised, as the battle unfolded exactly as Gao Xuan had planned, without the slightest deviation.
On this great stage where all eyes were on him, he won!
This victory also left the audience quite astonished. Throughout the match, Lan Tianshou was under pressure, yet he managed to seize a fleeting opportunity to turn the tables, showcasing incredible skill.
The hall quickly erupted with enthusiastic applause. Most of the audience was neutral, applauding for the exciting match.
Observers such as Qin Rong, Song Fei, and others refrained from clapping, all of them frowning in thought.
With Lan Tianshou's coarse swordsmanship and awkward fighting display, it was hard to see how he possessed such sharp combat awareness.
"He must have been guided by someone skilled," Song Fei said uncertainly.
"It's Gao Xuan, isn't it."
Qin Rong's gaze fell on Gao Xuan's profile, revealing a hint of fascination.
Although she was of the Qin Family, she was too mesmerized by Gao Xuan's looks. If her abilities allowed, she'd love to keep Gao Xuan as her own.
Unfortunately, Gao Xuan was said to be worth billions and was reportedly Hercules' son-in-law. Such a man was out of her league.
Zhou He said, "Gao Xuan just gave this guy some pointers, he must have been setting up the tactics."
He sighed and said, "Gao Xuan has very keen insight."
Gao Xuan not only spotted the opponent's weaknesses but also guided the team on how to seize victory on the spot, which was truly remarkable.
The sword team from Chang'an University was astonished too. Was Golden Bull University really this strong?
Even Liu Po was surprised.
The coach from Chang'an University raised a hand to signal everyone to calm down: "No need to panic, Lan Tianshou's swordsmanship is crude, it was just that Xiao Mei's flaws were spotted. You go out there and perform normally, don't be scared."
Indeed, the second player from Chang'an University won easily within twenty moves against Lan Tianshou.
Then, it was Yun Qingshang's turn to step onto the stage.
As soon as Yun Qingshang's image appeared on the big screen, the arena was filled with a chorus of whistles.
Yun Qingshang not only had striking features, but her demeanor was like a cold spring in the deep mountains, pure and serene yet mysteriously agile.
In this world, there are many beautiful women, but few have such distinctive charisma. Yun Qingshang's unique aura left a deep impression on everyone.
What surprised the audience even more was Yun Qingshang's swordsmanship. Using the long and heavy Po Jun Sword, her attack was fierce and forceful, truly with an aura capable of cutting through thousands of troops.
The Chang'an University team member only parried ten strikes before being knocked off the stage by the Po Jun Sword, fainting mid-air.
This elegant and noble girl wielded such a dominating, fierce swordplay, easily sweeping her opponent. This stark contrast ignited the crowd instantly.
Thunderous applause erupted in the audience, and the atmosphere in the venue became particularly vibrant. The audience was very excited.
Online spectators on the Battle Net were even more thrilled, shouting, "Holy crap."
That wasn't all; the third and fourth members from Chang'an University were also defeated by Yun Qingshang after tough battles.
Yun Qingshang had absorbed Celestial Dragon Blood and fused the Celestial Serpent Transformation Scripture, completing a Silver-level mutation, with a foundation far surpassing her peers.
Currently, her Power, Constitution, and agility all reached a point of 26. This score exceeded that of average Level 15 Silver Sword Heroes.
The Celestial Serpent Transformation Scripture greatly enhanced her overall attributes. The Celestial Dragon Blood was the most crucial genetic Power of the Celestial Dragon Race. Together with Gao Xuan's guidance, Yun Qingshang's entry into the Silver level already reached an exceptional height.
Yun Qingshang's outstanding performance left Liu Po somewhat embarrassed. Liu Zhong's borrowed Power was strong and hard to manage.
Yun Qingshang wasn't weak either; if she accidentally triggered her Marriage Robe Divine Skill, how would he compete with Gao Xuan?
However, having come this far, Liu Po had no room to retreat. He felt slightly frustrated, removed his Face Armor, and strode onto the stage.
To Liu Po's surprise, Gao Xuan directly entered the stage.
Gao Xuan wasn't wearing Armor, just a long white Sword Robe, looking graceful and elegant, truly like a Wind Control Immortal. No wonder he was called the Taihua Sword Immortal.
Gao Xuan's image also appeared on the big screen, instantly eliciting high-pitched screams from many women in the auditorium.
While eight matches were ongoing simultaneously in the venue, the unusual reaction of the female audience drew everyone's attention.
Then there was a series of exclamations and praises.
No other reason than Gao Xuan's looks, which amazed everyone. It turned out that such handsome men existed in the world!
Online spectators on the Battle Net reacted even more vigorously. Gao Xuan was famous, but only limited to the Twelve Star Domain and the Sea Emperor Star Realm.
Furthermore, after Gao Xuan advanced to Gold level and underwent genetic adjustments and evolution, his physique and appearance reached near-perfect levels.
This perfection, displayed directly before everyone for the first time, provided a strong shock.
The atmosphere in the venue immediately reached a climax.
Facing Gao Xuan across the arena, Liu Po was completely sidelined as a bystander, receiving no attention at all.
Liu Po felt helpless and a bit embarrassed, muttering to himself, "You can show off for a while, later I'll step over you!"
