King of Assassins

In two consecutive battles, Gao Xuan demonstrated a dominant level of power.

Whether it was the cheating Liu Po or the last-minute enlightening Qin Jian, both were defeated by Gao Xuan's single sword strike.

Such a powerful Gao Xuan left Jin Yutang and Hodder somewhat hopeless.

The Jin Family and the Odin Family, of course, have various powerful marvels, but the arena, being the center of attention, has its scruples.

Gao Xuan was too strong, and the marvels they prepared had a hard time limiting him.

According to the schedule, the finals will be the day after tomorrow. If they encounter Gao Xuan, they have no chance of winning.

Jin Yutang and Hodder both looked at Tifeng; now, only Tifeng could help them solve this big problem.

Tifeng felt a bit annoyed but maintained a nonchalant expression.

This matter was originally the Jin Family's affair, but Jin Guangshan seemed to have disappeared to who knows where.

At this critical moment, no one in the Jin Family could take charge, leaving Jin Yutang to point at him.

Tifeng actually didn't think much of Jin Yutang; this guy was an empty shell, as the ancient Huaxia saying goes: gold and jade on the outside, rot within. Completely a playboy.

He could act heroic and boastful, but when faced with real matters, he panicked.

Hodder was no better. Though he appeared sullen in character, he lacked the measure. At the first sign of trouble, he would panic.

Just these two, a few days ago, were clamoring to kill Gao Xuan on the field. Looking at it now, it's laughable.

Tifeng glanced at Gao Xuan on the field and had to admit, this young man had an appealing presence.

If it weren't for their sworn enmity, he wouldn't make things difficult for this kid.

Tifeng glanced at Song Muyang in the VIP stands. This time, none of the elder generation of the Song Family came, leaving only Song Muyang to oversee everything.

Tomorrow is the two sub-regional finals, Taiwei University against Golden Bull University.

In Song Yunxi's condition, she would definitely lose against Gao Xuan. Doesn't the Song Family have any strategy?

Tifeng used spiritual power to contact Song Muyang: "Kid, is your Song Family's championship going to be lost?"

Tifeng spoke quite rudely, but he was senior enough and a descendant of Odin, so calling Song Muyang like that wasn't excessively disrespectful.

Song Muyang turned to smile at Tifeng. The boxes were only a few dozen meters apart, and they could clearly see each other's expressions.

Using spiritual power to chat was more comfortable than talking face to face.

Song Muyang understood Tifeng's meaning and smiled, saying, "In a Sword Dao match, it's about swordsmanship. Gao Xuan is a friend, so it must be fair competition."

Tifeng sneered and ignored Song Muyang.

This kid wasn't old, but his words were slippery. He didn't like such people.

They were all descendants of the Golden Bloodline; why speak so sanctimoniously? Song Muyang's arrogance, looking down on others, was hardly concealed.

The Odin descendants could only occupy the Thousand Mechanism Star Realm and had no qualifications to enter the Central Star Realm, naturally being despised by other golden descendants. But for Song Muyang to express it so directly, he seemingly looked down on him.

Even Tifeng couldn't simply deal with Song Muyang. Not to mention the influence of the Song Family, even if he and Song Muyang fought, he might not be able to do anything about him.

The Song Family held the Beidou Star Realm, amassing a significant resource advantage at home. This was something they couldn't match.

It was precisely because of such a gap that the descendants of Odin and Zeus were falling further behind.

In the generation of Hercules, there was only one golden powerhouse, and he was at an initial tier, a disgrace to the Golden Bloodline.

Tifeng became even more irritated at the thought of Hercules; if not for Hercules, there wouldn't be so many problems.

Talos was not only killed, but his few powerful marvels were also lost.

And it was all because of Gao Xuan.

Tifeng had observed Gao Xuan for quite some time but hadn't seen any trace of those marvels. Especially the Nibelungen Ring, which was a root of the World Tree.

As long as it was on Gao Xuan, no matter where it was hidden, he could sense it.

But Gao Xuan didn't have the Nibelungen Ring on him. There wasn't even a trace of other marvels.

The only unique aspect was Gao Xuan's Sword Artifact; the water elemental Source Power was pure, making it a top-grade sword. Yet Gao Xuan's formidable combat power wasn't restrained by the sword artifact.

Tifeng had observed for days, and he still couldn't quite see through Gao Xuan.

Of course, on Taiwei Star, as long as Gao Xuan wasn't golden, he could crush him to death.

Tifeng had full confidence in this; he wasn't like the worthless Shao Daoyuan, who was killed by Gao Xuan...

Tifeng also didn't believe the Song Family was genuinely playing by fair competition. They were definitely up to something.

Anyway, the finals aren't until the day after tomorrow. If Gao Xuan truly gets past the Song Family, it's not too late for him to kill Gao Xuan then.

The event proceeded as normal, and by the afternoon, Taiwei University easily defeated their opponent, advancing to the lower sub-region final.

Tomorrow morning, it would be Taiwei University against Golden Bull University.

Regarding this lower sub-region final, the people of the Beidou Star Realm generally held a pessimistic outlook.

Gao Xuan's performance in the previous few rounds was too dazzling. Compared to the other participating genius Sword Heroes, Gao Xuan had an overwhelming advantage.

This advantage is so obvious that even ordinary spectators can see it clearly.

Of course, the people of the Beidou Star Realm support Taiwei University. The problem is, the gap between the main player Song Yunxi and Gao Xuan is too big. No matter how much they support, it's useless.

This pessimistic mood has even significantly affected the entertainment dining of Taiwei Star.

Under normal circumstances, the people of Taiwei Star would enter bars and restaurants to consume and enthusiastically discuss tomorrow's competition.

Because they see no hope for victory, about 70% of people canceled plans to go out drinking and dining.

On the food street closest to the Arctic Hall, there were not many people either.

Song Muyang pulled Gao Xuan to a table by the street and sat down. He said to Gao Xuan, "You see, it's all because of you, everyone is in low spirits, and no one is willing to come out for a drink."

Gao Xuan remained non-committal, just sitting there quietly.

Song Yunxi sat next to Song Muyang, directly opposite Gao Xuan. She knew Gao Xuan was a good talker, and now that he was silent, it made her a bit uneasy.

Miao Xifeng was sitting across from Song Muyang, and was also brought along to drink.

Seeing Gao Xuan not speaking, Miao Xifeng smiled and said, "No one is better, it's quiet."

He then enthusiastically introduced, "The grilling here is very flavorful, and they have some special signature dishes that are quite famous..."

In late August in Purple Wall City, the night breeze already had a hint of coolness. The heat of the day was completely dissipated by the wind.

This pedestrian street is full of small dining shops, though not too crowded, it was still relatively lively overall.

The people of Purple Wall City are also quite refined; even when drinking, they speak softly. Although the whole street was lined with many patrons, it did not seem noisy.

The few of them sat around a small table by the street, surrounded by diners and drinkers, yet no one paid attention to them.

Everyone was very careful to protect privacy, and no one was peeking and sneaking around gazing at others.

Miao Xifeng, familiar with the place, called the owner over, ordering lots of grilled meat and some specialty side dishes. Finally, he handed the menu to Gao Xuan, "Brother, is there anything you want to order?"

With the prevalence of modern intelligent equipment, few people use real menus to order. This place was even equipped with a server standing by with pen and paper to take notes.

Gao Xuan gently pushed away the menu, "No need, let's go with the flow."

The server was focused on holding the pen and paper, ready to take notes. Hearing Gao Xuan's clear yet mellow voice, she couldn't help but glance at him.

Just one look, and the server recognized Gao Xuan. Although he wore sunglasses, his looks could not be hidden by sunglasses.

The server's eyes lit up, her face even blushing slightly with excitement. Fortunately, she was very professional, just looking for a couple of seconds before lowering her head.

After the server left, Song Muyang laughed, "Brother, you're a major celebrity in the Alliance now, that young girl was stunned just looking at you."

Gao Xuan chuckled, "I'm just this handsome, can't help it."

"Hahaha..."

Seeing Gao Xuan joking, Song Muyang burst into laughter, "I just love your personality, brother; free and unrestrained, carefree."

Song Muyang raised his glass, "Come, a toast to you, brother."

Gao Xuan didn't refuse, raising his glass to finish it.

Putting down the glass, Song Muyang sighed, "Brother, you really trust me, daring to come out drinking with me at this time, I'm really touched."

Saying this, Song Muyang shook his head repeatedly in admiration; he really admired Gao Xuan.

Tomorrow is the showdown between Gao Xuan and Song Yunxi, but Gao Xuan dared to come out with him for a late-night snack. Not afraid of him taking advantage somehow.

Gao Xuan's frankness and carefreeness truly made Song Muyang respect him.

Miao Xifeng also cooperated on the side, continuously flattering and persuading him to drink.

Song Yunxi didn't know what Song Muyang was planning, just sitting quietly accompanying them drinking.

The four of them chatted casually, none mentioned the competition, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

When it got late, most of the diners and drinkers around had dispersed, leaving it a bit chilly from the wind.

Song Muyang suddenly sighed with feeling, "Brother, I owe you. The championship is too important to Yunxi, and too important to the Song Family."

Gao Xuan picked up his glass, clinking it lightly with Song Muyang's, "I understand."

With that, Gao Xuan drank it all in one go.

Song Muyang was a bit surprised, Gao Xuan wasn't angry at all, nor did he show any emotional reaction?

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then I'll be straightforward, I don't want to become enemies with you, brother. Nor do I wish to harm our harmony."

Gao Xuan curiously asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

Song Muyang forced a wry smile, "I found someone to capture Ji Xiuying and forced her to write a withdrawal application. Tomorrow's match, you won't be able to go. Don't blame Ji Xiuying..."

"Cutting the grass from the roots."

Gao Xuan nodded, "Brother Song's means are indeed high..."

These words made Song Muyang's old face blush a little. And again, he found it strange, Gao Xuan's reaction was so peculiar!
