Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

The White Rainbow Star Armor, also a heavy assault star armor, was noticeably lower than Long Yuan when standing in front of him.

Longyuan was also more magnificent and majestic, while Baihong, who held a sword, was like a guard in front of an emperor. The difference in their aura was too great.

Before the two sides even made a move, their relative strengths and weaknesses were already apparent based on the appearance of the mechs.

Although Li Guofeng saw the certification of a high-level martial arts master in the information, he still couldn't help but ask, "You've advanced to master level?"

"Hmm." Gao Wu smiled. "It went fairly smoothly."

Li Guofeng was speechless. Damn it, what a show-off!
However, advancing from advanced to master in just a few months is truly terrifying.

Two months ago, he was no match for Gao Wu, and now he's even further behind.

Logically, he could have just admitted defeat. But Li Guofeng had a fighting spirit; even if he couldn't beat Gao Wu, he wasn't afraid of him.

Li Guofeng raised his twin swords and shouted, "Come on!"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Hong, wielding his twin swords, suddenly charged towards Long Yuan, the swords transforming into a dazzling white rainbow.

Gao Wu drew the Longyuan Twin Swords from his waist with a backhand motion. He controlled the Longyuan Twin Swords to stand steadily, and with his left hand, he swept the swords towards Bai Hong, lifting the opponent's twin swords high into the air. With his right hand, he swept the long sword.

The bright sword light easily severed Bai Hong's neck, cutting off his head directly.

To outsiders, the battle was very simple; it was just a single exchange when the White Rainbow Armor broke and the head of the White Rainbow Armor flew high into the air.

It's obvious that the two sides are not on the same level at all.

The selection process for the Qingyuan Star Division is a battle where only the best can make it this far.

Li Guofeng is quite high-profile in Qingcheng, and many people know him. This battle has also attracted a lot of attention.

Spectators cannot see Gao Wu's information, but many are experienced and can guess from the appearance of his star armor that he has advanced to the master level.

Most people, however, still don't understand, or rather, they find it hard to believe, that another master has suddenly appeared on Qingyuan Star.

When the battle ended, the spectators all understood that Gao Wu was indeed a master!

Wang Si'an and Liu Guanying, the two senior trainees, realized this and were both very frustrated.

Two months ago, although Gao Wu was able to defeat Li Guofeng, they were all confident that they could fight Gao Wu and even had a great chance of winning.

Now, neither of them is even confident of withstanding a single move from a high-level martial artist...

They were both advanced students, so why was there such a huge difference between them? The two highly talented Star Masters couldn't understand it.

Even Yang Liuqing, who had already advanced to the level of a master, was quite surprised after watching this battle.

She had watched Gao Wu and Li Guofeng fight. Gao Wu showed great talent, but he wasn't particularly outstanding.

The high level of martial arts that allowed her to control the Dragon Abyss made her feel seriously threatened.

"What's the situation with Gao Wu?" Yang Liuqing asked Ye Ning.

Ye Ning said smugly, "I told you Gao Wu was amazing, but you didn't believe me!"

Yang Liuqing said helplessly, "Advancing from advanced to master in two months, don't you think that's too strange?"

“Grandfather said it’s nothing, so it’s nothing.” Ye Ning didn’t mind. Seeing that her cousin’s expression was a little unpleasant, she quickly added, “Gao Wu has been training in the Abyss for the past two months, and the materials he’s collected are already worth billions. He’s been exceptionally diligent…”

Yang Liuqing just shook her head. There are many Star Masters who are desperately honing their cultivation in the Abyss. What makes Gao Wu stand out?

Obviously, that's not the key point...

This battle also made Gao Wu famous among ordinary people, letting everyone know that Qingyuan Star had gained another young Star Armor Master.

Moreover, Gao Wu was a professional gamer who was forced to retire just a few months ago. Through tireless efforts, he miraculously grew into a Star Armor Master in just a few months. Such a growth experience is truly legendary, very story-driven, and very inspiring.

Many media outlets have given extensive coverage to "High Martial Arts." It's not that they particularly like "High Martial Arts," but rather that they know ordinary people love stories of underdog triumphs and rags-to-riches tales.

In the era of Skynet, everyone is trapped in various information cocoons.

Only reports that boost public confidence can break through information silos and reach all parties through various channels.

For media outlets, all they care about is traffic; everything else is secondary.

The extensive media coverage also brought the number of viewers for the second battle of Gaowu to tens of millions.

This time, Gao Wu's opponent happened to be Liu Guanying, who was wielding the Dragon's Gallant from the Divine Spear series.

The silver dragon was extremely beautiful, and holding a long spear, it was even more majestic.

Liu Guanying wasn't familiar with Gao Wu, so there was nothing to say. He immediately raised his spear and thrust. His mental strength had long since reached five hundred, and he was only one step away from becoming a master.

His mastery of the Zhongshan spear technique was powerful and steady, a first-rate spear technique. In terms of spear technique alone, he could be considered the best among the advanced star masters of Qingcheng!

Longdan shook his spear, and specks of silver light shone like countless stars in the sky.

Gao Wu nodded in agreement. This guy's marksmanship was really good; in his world, he would have reached the level of a master.

But that's it.

Longyuan thrust his twin swords forward, one to parry the spear as it advanced, while the other swept horizontally.

Liu Guanying sensed something was wrong and tried to retreat while drawing his gun, but Longdan Xingjia's body retreated backward, while Longdan's head flew up.

The battle was over in less than a second.

Liu Guanying, who had just exited the virtual warehouse, was still in a daze. He didn't know how he had lost.
Even if Gao Wu uses the Dragon Abyss, a master cannot use mental magic on the Battle.net, so there won't be a big difference between the two sides.

For spectators, the battle ended too quickly and wasn't very entertaining.

However, the scene of Gentian's head flying up is still quite impactful.

It won't be so easy to kill Xingjia with a single sword strike.

The neck is a weak point of the Star Armor, and most Star Armor has specific protection for it.

In Star Armor combat, most people prefer to destroy the head cockpit or damage the chest energy center; very few people would actually try to force their way into the Star Armor's neck.

Gao Wu was only considering efficiency; he felt that severing the Star Armor's neck was easier, would prevent the Star Master from experiencing the terror of death, and was more humane...

The third battle, the fourth battle...

Until the end of the twenty qualifying matches in the semi-finals, Gao Wu had beheaded all his opponents with a single sword strike, without exception.

Moreover, no opponent could withstand a single move from Gao Wu.

Even though Gao Wu is a master, he was able to easily take the head of the opponent's star armor with a single sword strike when facing a high-level elite star master from Qingyuan Star, demonstrating an absolute and overwhelming advantage.

The media outlets, already fervently praising Gao Wu, became even more excited. Viewers who witnessed Gao Wu's battles were also captivated by his swift and decisive fighting style…

By the time the Qingyuan Star selection competition for the semi-finals ended, Gao Wu had become well-known to the billions of people in Qingyuan Star, and many people had high hopes for him, believing that Gao Wu had a good chance of advancing to the top eight and bringing glory to Qingyuan Star!

The name of Gao Wu, the headless swordsman, has spread widely in the Heavenly Network, making him a popular contender in this year's Sword Tournament...
