King of Assassins

The Alliance does not allow the worship of Evil Gods, so the revival is based on the pursuit of the spiritual level. On the other hand, part of the ancient cultural heritage is also very valuable and can meet the needs of cultivating Source Power.

Retro culture is very popular in the Alliance. Including various ancient TV dramas and games, which have further ingrained ancient culture into people's hearts.

However, in the Interstellar Era, modern science flourishes, and everyone has basic scientific literacy. They would not blindly believe in ancient civilizations.

As for so-called immortals, most people do not believe in them.

Today, however, the audience watching Gao Xuan's match all believed there are sword immortals in the world. Gao Xuan is one.

When the referee announced Gao Xuan's victory, the entire venue chanted the title "Taihua Sword Immortal."

The atmosphere was so intense it seemed to lift the dome of the arena.

Song Fei and Qin Rong, their faces full of excitement, shouted along, their somewhat frenzied state leaving Qin Jian and Zhou He a bit bewildered.

Both couldn't quite understand why they were so happy about someone unrelated like Gao Xuan.

And the audience present seemed too immersed. You'd think they were hired extras if you didn't know better.

This feverish atmosphere was quite contagious, and audiences watching the live broadcast online were all excited.

Gao Xuan, with a smile, graciously accepted the cheers from all directions.

The main reason for this effect was Liu Po's great cooperation. Liu Po's overwhelming Sword Intent suppressed the entire audience, naturally provoking their distaste.

The defeat of the formidable Liu Po left many in the audience relieved. This relief, in turn, made them endorse Gao Xuan.

Another point is that Gao Xuan's win was indeed exceptionally brilliant.

That decisive sword strike truly had the spiritual elegance of a sword immortal's Flying Sword. Gao Xuan's near-perfect charm was fully accentuated by this victory.

It wasn't until Gao Xuan stepped down that the enthusiastic cheers in the venue slowly diminished.

The earlier match was so impressive that other matches seemed uninteresting to the audience.

The almost negligible attention to competitors in other venues was evident.

The giant screen at the Arctic Hall kept replaying the battle between Gao Xuan and Liu Po.

A few famous commentators narrated various technical details on frames slowed down a thousand times.

"Look at Gao Xuan's move, in this sword strike, the Source Power condenses into a single point throughout the body, the action of lifting the sword and thrusting is perfectly standard..."

"Technically, this sword is already perfect and hard to surpass."

"Liu Po's Sword Qi is immensely strong and heavy, with the Great Wind Sword even possessing the power to shake mountains, and his Sword Qi cultivation is unrivaled among peers. Unfortunately, he met Gao Xuan..."

"Everyone should note that Gao Xuan hails from the Pegasus Star of the White Dragon Mountains in the Twelve Star Domain. The White Dragon Mountains are a self-governed area of Primitive Tribes, and Gao Xuan didn't even receive formal education until he was exceptionally admitted to university at eighteen."

Of course, these commentators are top experts from the Beidou Star Realm; they had no need to favor Liu Po. Their stance even leaned towards Gao Xuan.

The reason was nothing more than Gao Xuan having enough topic value and newsworthiness.

Coming from the grassroots, glorifying Gao Xuan gained more acceptance among the grassroots.

This class card is particularly effective each time it is played.

Generally speaking, the Sword Dao finals are the battlefield for noble youths. Those from the lower middle class have no qualifications to enter the finals.

In this final, the only ones truly from the grassroots are Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang.

Such a situation hasn't been seen in hundreds of years.

Moreover, Gao Xuan's dazzling performance in the competition has seen him become an idol across the Alliance.

For ratings and topic value, several commentators began to praise Gao Xuan wildly.

Of course, where there's praise, there must be opposition. Otherwise, where would the topic value come from?

One commentator smugly said, "I think there's something fishy about Gao Xuan. How could his swordsmanship and martial arts come from the grassroots? It was faked. Moreover, his sword was too fast, I suspect he has taken drugs or used banned items..."

This comment spread across the Alliance through the Battle Net, immediately inciting the anger of Gao Xuan's fans.

Gao Xuan's strike was so dazzling, and he was so charming. In just one minute, he gained hundreds of billions of fans, most of them fervent female fans.

When female fans fall for someone's looks, they just won't be reasonable. They love the looks, and they don't need any logic.

The destructive power is enormous when such female fans gather.

This criticizing commentator was quickly exposed for past legal offenses and had even harassed young girls.

Within minutes, the opposing commentator's personal channel on social media exploded.

The opposing commentator's face turned sour; he was merely putting on a show, but the audience took it seriously.

If this continues, he might face social obliteration...

While topic value is important, personal future is more critical. Especially for a commentator, facing the public is a must. Truly facing social death leaves no future.

"Online harassment is truly terrifying..."

This commentator cursed inwardly, quickly changing his stance and publicly apologizing and admitting his fault...

The small storm hadn't even risen before fans forcibly suppressed it.

Song Fei and Qin Rong both showed victorious smiles. It was they who guided public opinion and fervently attacked that commentator.

As media people, they were fully aware of such tactics.

Of course, their motives weren't entirely pure.

Gao Xuan is now the highest quality idol, and his fame can be utilized in many ways.
