Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 336 Sword Qi Soars
Yuan Xinghai was lean and wiry, carrying a long sword as he entered the training ground, his steps light and his movements agile.

Gao Wu knew at a glance that the other party must be practicing the White Ape Sword and was a sixth-level martial arts master.

He had mastered the White Ape Sword Technique to the bone, and his every word and action exuded the agility and nimbleness of a white ape.

Four months ago, this person was indeed a threat to him. Now, the gap between them is too great.

Although Gao Wu has not yet condensed his Origin Power Core and his martial arts level is a bit lacking, he has witnessed the Ice Dragon and killed two seventh-level bishops in succession. In terms of insight and knowledge, he has far surpassed a sixth-level martial artist.

Before the two sides even made a move, Gao Wu had seen through Yuan Xinghai's physical body, source energy, and spirit in every aspect.

He also understood why Yuan Xinghai had to step in; the Aurora Legion was desperate after their defeat, and Yuan Xinghai was there to help the military elites regain their honor.

Judging from the jubilant expressions of the people around him, it was clear that they had high hopes for Yuan Xinghai.

Gao Wu wasn't ignorant of human relationships; it's just that at such a low level, there was no need to hold back.

The Aurora Legion is somewhat closed off, and its elite troops have too little experience. This time, they were given a small shock.

If you're not good enough, it doesn't matter whether you lose gracefully or ugly!

Yuan Xinghai was very polite, bowing with his sword in hand: "Yuan Xinghai, please give me your guidance."

"please."

Gao Wu also took out the Destiny Sword, which he usually wore wrapped around his wrist.

The reason it's not placed inside the Xuanlong Ring is because there's a process involved in taking it out of the Xuanlong Ring.

It appears simple and quick, but in reality, it involves complex changes at the spiritual and spatial levels. If one encounters a powerful enemy and is struck by spiritual power, the Heavenly Destiny Sword may become unusable.

This small detail also reflects Gao Wu's cautiousness in combat.

The more battles Gao Wu experienced, the more he realized how dangerous they were. If any detail was not handled properly, it could lead to utter defeat.

Yuan Xinghai's Qingguang Sword is also four feet long. The blade is clear and bright. When he uses his source power, the clear light on the blade flows, and a cold and sharp sword aura is faintly pointed at Gao Wu's brow.

Gao Wu assumed the starting stance of the Dragon Sword, holding the Heavenly Mandate Sword horizontally across his chest, pointing it directly at Yuan Xinghai.

After a standoff of more than ten seconds, Yuan Xinghai gave a low shout and took the initiative to raise his sword and advance.

His movements were as light as the wind, and the Qingguang Sword in his hand flowed like a swirling ball of light.

The two sides made contact instantly, their sword lights crisscrossing and bursting into hundreds of sparks.

The two figures kept changing positions, their forms appearing ethereal and unreal.

Most of the spectators could only see clusters of bright sword lights flashing and hear sharp, low sword cries, but they couldn't see the details of the battle at all.

Even a master like Bai Tiejun could only get a general idea and couldn't tell who had the upper hand.

Bai Tiejun looked at Song Chunqiu: "You've passed the CET-6 exam, can you understand this?"

Song Chunqiu knew Bai Tiejun's personality; the guy was straightforward and outspoken, which could be a bit unpleasant to hear, but he had a good nature.

He shook his head slightly: "I don't understand, but Yuan Xinghai is bound to lose. It just depends on how much face Gao Wu gives him..."

Bai Tiejun was somewhat unconvinced: "Xinghai is also a sixth-level martial arts master, and his White Ape Sword is both in form and spirit. What's the difference?"

"Much different!" Song Chunqiu couldn't actually see many details, but he knew that Gao Wu had killed two level seven bishops. Based on that alone, Gao Wu could easily overpower all level six bishops.

Bai Tiejun was about to argue when a clear clang rang out, and the sword light that had been spreading in all directions immediately dissipated, leaving Gao Wu and Yuan Xinghai standing in their original positions.

Gao Wu clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, holding his sword, and said, "You flatter me."

Yuan Xinghai sighed softly and returned the salute with clasped hands: "Excellent swordsmanship, I am far inferior to it. I admire you greatly!"

Before he started fighting, he wanted to test his skills against Gao Wu, but once they started, he realized that the two were quite different.

Upon reaching the tenth move, Gao Wu's sword, undulating like a dragon, pierced through his defenses and touched his brow.

He could feel the sharpness of the sword tip, yet his skin remained unbroken. This showed that his opponent had complete control over the sword and could manipulate him at will. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Gao Wu was far superior to him.

This battle severely damaged Yuan Xinghai's confidence, which has a significant impact on a level six martial artist.

But he couldn't blame Gao Wu, who was actually quite polite and let him have ten moves.

After Yuan Xinghai's defeat, the onlookers fell silent. The atmosphere even became somewhat tense.

When Bai Tiejun saw Yuan Xinghai return, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you lose?"

Yuan Xinghai glanced coldly at Bai Tiejun, too lazy to bother with this fool. Bai Tiejun, still unwilling to give up, said to the deputy chief of staff beside him, Li Beiqi, "Old Li, why don't you go up and give it a try?"

Li Beiqi's expression turned somewhat grim. He was similar to Yuan Xinghai, except his source energy was slightly stronger. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to go up there too?!
Before Li Beiqi could speak, Song Xuetao stepped down the steps and said, "Gao Wu is in high spirits, let me do it."

Song Xuetao wanted Gao Wu to gain prestige and influence within the Aurora Legion, but he also couldn't allow his skilled subordinates to lose their edge after being defeated by Gao Wu.

Yuan Xinghai is already in this state; the impact on others would be even greater. There's no need for that.

After this battle, the high-ranking members of the Aurora Legion got to know Gao Wu and his powerful abilities.

If Gao Wu were to take over the Aurora Legion in the future, things should go much more smoothly.

Of course, this was just one of his ideas. Even if it was just paving the way for Mingyue and the Song family, he also hoped to find a strong leader for the Aurora Legion so that the legion could prosper even more.

The world is about to change drastically. If the legion is handed over to mediocre people, they may very well lead the legion into the abyss.

Even disregarding Gao Wu's command abilities, his ability to kill two bishops in succession already proves his wisdom.

As for commanding the legions, there is now a large staff department with various supercomputers conducting simulations.

The commander only needs to make the decision.

Song Xuetao wouldn't say these things outright. The future is still uncertain, and he can't promise Gao Wu anything right now. He's just taking a step ahead.

Upon seeing Song Xuetao enter, Gao Wu respectfully bowed and said, "Lord Song."

Song Xuetao lightly stroked the longsword in his hand and said solemnly, "This sword is forged by fusing the scales of a level nine beast with modern metalworking technology. After years of tempering with my spiritual power, it has achieved magnetic resonance with me."

"please."

"please."

Gao Wu focused all his attention on circulating his source energy to activate the Heavenly Fate Sword.

Although he couldn't activate divine incantations, he was now unleashing the full power of all seventy-two acupoints around his body.

The opponent is the Sword King Song Xuetao, whose martial arts cultivation is far superior to that of two level seven bishops.

The alliance has dozens of level seven martial kings, and the fact that Song Xuetao can consistently rank among the top shows how powerful this martial king is.

Gao Wu also cherished this opportunity to spar with a Martial King and learn from his unparalleled swordsmanship. This was much more exciting than fighting with his teacher.

Teacher Hai Wuji is even stronger, and precisely because he is too strong, fighting him is not very interesting, because no matter what, he cannot win, and he cannot even get hurt.

Gao Wu channeled his full power to unleash the sword energy, causing the Heavenly Fate Sword to shimmer like flowing water, its blade humming and vibrating, emitting a sword roar like a dragon's cry...

Those watching from behind the protective glass wall felt that Gao Wu's sword light was as strong as the blazing sun, making it almost impossible to look directly at him.

The sword's roar, like a dragon's cry, penetrated directly into everyone's minds. In a daze, they seemed to see a celestial dragon soaring and roaming, its long roar possessing supreme divine power that could swallow the clouds and control the sun and moon...

Such power made everyone's soul tremble uncontrollably.

Just moments ago, everyone thought Yuan Xinghai's defeat was inexplicable, but now they suddenly understood: it wasn't that Yuan Xinghai was incompetent, but that Gao Wu was too strong.

The mere clang of his sword was enough to intimidate the entire area...
