Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

The Po Jun suit focuses on offense and can only be considered a medium-sized star armor. Furthermore, standard star armor cannot be modified, and there's no way to enhance protection for the neck.

Luo Xinghe's Po Jun meditation technique was also not good at defense. With his two swords striking from the front and back, Gao Wu severed Po Jun's neck.

The Dragon King's Star Armor was extremely sturdy, and Li Xuanfang could also activate the Source Force Field for protection. Gao Wu needed to slash dozens of times to cut off the Dragon King's head.

The two events seem to have the same outcome, but the Dragon King died with great fanfare, while Po Jun disappeared in an instant.

This has led many to believe that Li Xuanfang is stronger, while Luo Xinghe is clearly weaker.

This caused a huge uproar online.

Zhenwu and Dalin are two top-tier academies, each with its own unique characteristics and immense influence.

Both sides have always looked down on each other and will try to kick each other while they can whenever they get the chance.

Yesterday, Li Xuanfang lost and was ridiculed by countless Zhenwu fans as "Mu Zi Xuanfang," implying that Li Xuanfang's head and body were separated.

Today, Zhang Xuanxiang is not holding back either, retaliating in kind. Moreover, changing "Po Jun" to "Po Che" makes the story more interesting and vivid.

This joke quickly spread across the SkyNet network, and Luo Xinghe was furious when he saw it!

He knew very well that this nickname would follow him for the rest of his life. Even if he could defeat powerful martial artists and become a divine general, people would still call him "Broken Cart" behind his back...

Seeing Luo Xinghe's face turn bright red, Jiang Feihe knew his junior brother was furious. He comforted him, "Tomorrow, when I face Gao Wu, I might become Jiang Feibiao or Queen Ba, and I can help you share some of the firepower..."

Luo Xinghe was both amused and exasperated. The joke about splitting Jiang into "Queen Eight" was too toxic. He said helplessly, "Senior brother, this isn't funny at all!"

"If you lose, all you can do is make people laugh. What else can you do?" Jiang Feihe was quite magnanimous and took it all in stride.

He then asked, "What kind of star armor do you think would be suitable for me, Xuanming or Tianhe?"

There are nine types of True Martial Master Star Armor. Among them, Xuanming combines strength and flexibility, and is very well-balanced in all aspects. Its positioning is similar to Longyuan, but its performance is much stronger than Longyuan.

The Sky Crane is a lightweight, high-speed Star Armor, and also the fastest of all Master-level Star Armors.

Not only is it fast, but its swords are also incredibly fast. It is also equipped with 108 Heavenly Feather Flying Swords for ranged attacks. It excels at long-range assaults, but its own defenses are extremely weak.

The character "鹤" (crane) in Jiang Feihe's name comes from the Heavenly Crane, and he also practices the Heavenly Crane Nine Methods Meditation Technique.

His cultivation was pure, and although he was exceptionally compatible with the Heavenly Crane Star Armor, he was still able to control the Xuanming.

Luo Xinghe shook his head: "A martial arts prodigy, with the Nine Sounds Vibration technique that can easily cut through source force fields and armor, the speed of the Heavenly Escape technique and the intricate Heavenly Net technique, and the use of Dragon Tiger Yin Yang to integrate many variations into his swordsmanship, he is too strong!"

Recalling the battle just now, Luo Xinghe felt a sense of despair. No matter how he changed his twin swords, he was completely suppressed by Gao Wu's twin swords and had no chance at all.

Losing isn't scary, but Gao Wu's strength is unreasonable, so strong that he can't understand it, and that's what's scary.

Jiang Feihe sighed: "How about I use my flying sword to attack from a distance?"

In a normal battle, of course, you'll use any means necessary to win. The arena for the sword tournament is quite large, so maintaining distance and attacking from a distance is also reasonable.

The problem is that this is a sword-fighting tournament, and the audience won't like both sides using ranged weapons to attack each other.

Reaching the semifinals means there's no need to worry about being voted out. It's just that this kind of competition is a bit ugly. Jiang Feihe really doesn't want to do it this way.

"We can give it a try." Luo Xinghe also felt that it was a bit ugly, but it was worth it for the sake of victory.

Jiang Feihe sighed again... He would never have done this if it weren't for the academy.

However, even the ugliest victory is better than a brilliant defeat... people only remember the winners.

Jiang Feihe then turned to Yun Wuxiang and said, "I really want to switch places with you. Although Zhang Xuanxiang is strong, at least there are clues to follow and ways to deal with him."

Yun Wuxiang didn't speak; she didn't like pointless jokes.

The next day, the semi-finals began, with the first match being Zhang Xuanxiang versus Yun Wuxiang.

Yun Wuxiang wielded the Xuanming Star Armor, her Xuanming Breathing Technique was exquisite, and her tortoise sword was heavy while her snake sword was agile.

Although Zhang Xuanxiang's Vajra Pestle was powerful, it was not enough to subdue Yun Wuxiang for the time being.

After hundreds of rounds of fierce fighting, Zhang Xuanxiang, relying on his stronger mental strength and greater stamina, finally managed to blast away Yun Wuxiang's twin swords and win the battle.

This clash was the pinnacle of the martial arts tournament, showcasing the unique characteristics of the Zhenwu and Dalin schools' secret techniques, resulting in a truly spectacular battle.

In the battles of the Headless Swordsman, the opponents are killed in an extremely short time. The battles look exciting, but they end too quickly.

Whether it's the organizing committee, the on-site hosts, or the audience, everyone prefers this kind of intense competition, with various ingenious tricks and complex tactical designs. Both sides use their wits and courage to outmaneuver each other, and the winner finally achieves a hard-fought victory.

The second match was between Gao Wu and Jiang Feihe.

The Heavenly Crane Star Armor stands nine meters tall, with a slender black body covered in white feather-like armor. It also has a pair of mechanical wings on its back, inlaid with sword-shaped white feathers.

The black and white Heavenly Crane Star Armor, despite being a metal mechanical body, has a kind of elegant and unrestrained style reminiscent of ancient people with their flowing robes.

Gao Wu thought Tianhe was very beautiful, with a classical Chinese aesthetic. As the red light wall dissipated, Tianhe Star Armor retreated rapidly, and white feather blades shot towards Longyuan from its wings.

The white feather blade is no more than two feet long, but when stimulated by electromagnetic force, it moves as fast as lightning and is also coated with high plasma temperature.

Even a heavy assault star armor like the Dragon Abyss will have its armor penetrated if it is hit by the Feather Blade repeatedly.

Gao Wu had anticipated Jiang Feihe's tactics; the only way for the opponent to win was to try ranged attacks.

Without dodging or avoiding, he slashed repeatedly with his two swords, the snow-white sword light spinning and flashing like a wheel, shredding the incoming plasma.

By using the nine-tone resonance of the twin swords, he broke the magnetic resonance of the flying blades. The flying blades crashed into the protective force field of the arena before stopping their momentum and falling down...

Jiang Feihe tried to retrieve the white feather flying sword, but the spiritual magnetic field attached to the feather blade was destroyed, so he could not establish resonance and therefore could no longer control the flying sword.

He was both surprised and helpless. Gao Wu's Nine Sounds Technique was too powerful, instantly breaking the magnetic resonance between him and the flying sword.

Without the ranged attack of flying swords, continuing to retreat is pointless.

Jiang Feihe could only draw his long Heavenly Crane Sword and accelerate straight towards Longyuan.

The Heavenly Crane Sword is exceptionally long and sharp, primarily used for thrusting. Combined with the high speed of the Heavenly Crane Star Armor, a single strike is enough to pierce through the Dragon Abyss Armor.

Although Gao Wu's spiritual power is strong, Long Yuan's performance is not as good as Tian He's. In addition, its weight is much greater than Tian He's, so it is still not as fast as Tian He.

Seeing Jiang Feihe riding his celestial crane to meet him, Gao Wu stood still and used his sword to meet the attack.

As expected, Tianhe was incredibly fast and turned with ease. In an instant, Tianhe circled Longyuan more than ten times, his twin thorn-like swords moving like rain and lightning.

Sharp, white sword lights enveloped Longyuan from all directions. With a swing of his twin swords, hundreds of sharp sword lights exploded into countless streams of light.

As soon as Jiang Feihe's twin swords clashed with the Longyuan Sword, he was inevitably affected by the high-speed vibrational energy emanating from the Longyuan Sword, and even the Tianhe Sword in his hand began to vibrate uncontrollably.

When the swords are spinning at high speed, such uncontrolled and ineffective vibrations will greatly impair his control over the swords and also greatly reduce the speed of the two swords.

Jiang Feihe could only try his best to suppress the abnormal movements of the two swords through his mental magnetic field, and also unleashed the full power of the Heavenly Crane's wondrous speed.

Tianhe thrusts his twin swords around Longyuan, his footwork constantly changing, sometimes turning clockwise, sometimes counterclockwise, sometimes slicing diagonally, with complex variations.

After unleashing hundreds of sword strikes, Jiang Feihe finally lost control of the vibrations in his twin swords. The Heavenly Crane Sword, vibrating and buzzing, suddenly veered off course by half a foot during its thrust, causing the Star Armor to slow down its movements by half a beat.

Gao Wu seized the opportunity and slashed through the gap between the blades with both swords. The horizontal sword light was like a thunderclap breaking through the sky, without warning but with tremendous power, and swiftly and neatly severed Tianhe's neck...

At this point, the battle is over.

Jumping out of the cockpit, Jiang Feihe watched Long Yuan's retreating figure with a complicated expression.

He had a feeling that Gao Wu hadn't used his full strength just now, but had waited for him to demonstrate all the variations of the Heavenly Crane before launching a counterattack.

"Does this guy want to learn meditation techniques through combat?" Jiang Feihe thought the guess was too absurd.

Even if Gao Wu could resonate with him through his mental magnetic field, he would still not be able to learn the essence of the Heavenly Crane Meditation Method.

If meditation were so easy to learn, there wouldn't be so many different schools of thought...

Although Gao Wu's victory was expected by many, it still brought great joy to the entire Qingcheng faction.

Since the start of the Sword Tournament, no one from Qingcheng has ever made it to the final round.

With the Star Sea Sword Token just one step away, the people of planets like Qingyuan and Changning are going crazy.

The feeling of almost getting something but not getting it is actually more intense, more abundant, and more powerful.

While I was happy to succeed, it was just simple excitement, and the emotional level was far from reaching that intense state.

Gao Wu had a very intuitive understanding of this, because the total amount of merit accumulated in the Book of Immeasurable Merit had exceeded one trillion.

Although he had thought it through beforehand, he was still a little hesitant at this moment.

Enhancing the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra will surely allow him to break through the limitations this universe places on his spirit.

The Qilin Divine Hero Mantra is another story. It might work, it might not...

However, the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra has one great advantage: its superior innate talent allows him to truly comprehend the essence and mysteries of this universe, understand the unique changes in the source energy here, and truly see through the essence of the Star Armor.

The complex technologies and breakthroughs in materials science of the Star Armor represent the pinnacle of technology in this universe.

Differences in the rules of the universe mean that Star Armor may be useless in his universe. However, the related technologies, materials, and other aspects are still of great reference value.

With his primordial energy at the Primordial level, he still has the chance to see the essence of the gods and the essence of this universe, something the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra cannot do!
After much deliberation, Gao Wu decided to upgrade the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra. Compared to reclaiming his physical body to increase his power, gaining wisdom and knowledge was more important!

As trillions of merits were added, the golden Qilin divine image emerged, which then transformed into countless golden eight-pointed stars, merging into Gao Wu's Yang God.

Gao Wu felt his Yang God suddenly break free from the invisible barrier, and a vast and boundless cosmic panorama slowly unfolded before his eyes… (End of Chapter)
