Destiny High Martial Arts

Chapter 470 The Martial Saint's Slight Shock

Gao Wu's slaying of the Overlord Divine Spear was, after all, still a virtual battle within the SkyNet system.

He is, after all, a professional gamer, so it's understandable that he uses various tricks online. Although his defeat of the Overlord Divine Spear made him famous, there were still many voices of doubt.

In the Luohan Hall arena, a real battle took place, and Gao Wu severed Jin Yang's head with a single sword strike—this was no joke.

The main issue was that the battle ended too quickly, which raised some questions. However, as the details of the battle were revealed, everyone understood that it wasn't staged, but rather that the martial arts master was simply too strong.

This battle truly cemented his status as a top martial arts expert and earned him the respect of all the participating masters.

The response was particularly enthusiastic on planets under Qingcheng's jurisdiction, such as Qingyuan Star and Changning Star.

Although Qingcheng can barely be considered a first-rate star master academy, it is far inferior to other major schools.

The Sword Tournament is filled with top geniuses from various schools, making it difficult for Qingcheng to achieve good results.

Although Gao Wu only advanced to the second round, his victory was truly remarkable, bringing great joy to the people of the Qingcheng-controlled star system.

As soon as the battle ended, many people contacted Gao Wu through various channels, including Chu Shenxiu from the Shenwu Club.

Chu Shenxiu wanted to invite him to be the club's spokesperson.

Gao Wuzhen never expected this person to be so shameless. Looking at the obsequious guy on the screen, he even felt like laughing.

But he didn't speak ill of him; he simply asked Chu Shenxiu to pay back the money he owed him first.

Chu Shenxiu readily agreed and even offered Gao Wu ten times the compensation, transferring two billion yuan into Gao Wu's account on the spot.

Having received the money, Gao Wu had no interest in wasting words with Chu Shenxiu, so he immediately closed the communication and blocked Chu Shenxiu.

He didn't really need the money; it was enough to make Chu Shenxiu suffer.

Inside the Shenwu Club, Chu Shenxiu stared at the black screen in silence for a while before letting out a deep sigh.

He knew perfectly well that Gao Wu would never endorse the club; he was just looking for an excuse to give Gao Wu money.

The saying goes, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to help." Gao Wu hated him, but having taken two billion from him, he couldn't very well try to kill him, could he?

Chu Shenxiu wasn't sure about this, but he was well aware of the Star Armor Master's power. He could crush him with his mental strength from a thousand miles away.

As a businessman who makes games, who would stand up for him? And for various reasons, he can't go to other planets.

Therefore, they were willing to go bankrupt to send money to Gao Wu. Whether it would work or not, they had to try...

Gao Wu knew about Chu Shenxiu's little tricks, and he didn't have time to deal with this guy right now.

This battle earned him nearly a hundred billion merits, which greatly surprised him.

He knew the importance of the Sword Tournament to the Alliance, but he still couldn't understand the public's fervor for it.

Is such a clean and straightforward victory all that merit?

If he wins the championship, he could easily accumulate trillions of merits!

That evening, Ye Ning came to see Gao Wu again and enthusiastically introduced him to his next opponent.

"Li Xuanfang, nicknamed the Western Heavenly King, cultivates the Heavenly Dragon Meditation Method, and rides the Star Armor as the Dragon King..."

Ye Ning gave a long introduction, and finally said, "Li Xuanfang is a recognized favorite to win the championship. He has a resolute personality and a calm and experienced fighting style. You'd better not think about defeating him in one move..."

She knew that Gao Wu was powerful, but Li Xuanfang and Pei Mingyue were different. This one was a military expert with rich combat experience.

The Dragon King he was riding was a top-tier master-level Star Armor from Dalin, extremely powerful in every aspect with virtually no weaknesses.

Facing such a formidable opponent, Gao Wu could easily lose the match if he were too aggressive.

"I understand." Gao Wu only needs to win the championship; there's no need to win every battle with a single strike.

Although his mental strength is strong, it is still limited by the Star Armor. If he were to modify Long Yuan, it wouldn't be difficult for him to instantly kill these opponents.

Ye Ning wanted to remind Gao Wu that the rules for the second round had changed, namely that the worst match out of the nine matches would be voted on, and the winner of that match would also be eliminated.

The purpose of this is to increase the entertainment value and to motivate the participating star masters.

The competition is so important that many players resort to unsightly but effective tactics. This is unacceptable to the organizing committee and the audience.

That's why this rule exists: in the second round, one pair of competitors will be eliminated.

Gao Wu's fighting style is aggressive and flamboyant, so he probably won't be voted out. There's no need to specifically remind Gao Wu.

The second round of the competition has begun, with only eighteen contestants participating this time.

The first two rounds of the competition were very exciting, eliciting enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Gao Wu's appearance in the third round also attracted everyone's attention. However, there were only a few scattered cheers from the audience.

Tianyue is Dalin's home turf, and Gao Wu's opponent is Dalin's genius Li Xuanfang, so naturally no one will cheer for Gao Wu.

When Li Xuanfang rode the Dragon King onto the scene, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

The Dragon King Star Armor is eleven meters tall, with its blue star armor covered in golden dragon patterns, and the cockpit is shaped like a dragon's head, making it very majestic and imposing.

The dragon-shaped spear in his hand is twelve meters long and is also composed of two sections of a spear.

The Dalin school is characterized by its heavy and powerful style. The Dragon King also wears a standard heavy-duty star armor, but he is faster and better at assaults than the Vajra King.

Longyuan is far inferior to Longwang, after all, it is just a regular master-level standard star armor.

Having learned from Pei Mingyue's lesson, Li Xuanfang prepared himself with the Panlong Spear. When the red light wall dissipated, Li Xuanfang fired a spear straight at Long Yuan.

The Tianlong Meditation Method emphasizes change, and Li Xuanfang has also immersed himself in spear techniques for twenty years, so his spear skills alone are already superb.

The spear thrust straight through the air, emitting a sharp sonic boom and whistling sound, and a white ring-shaped torrent was directly generated behind the spear tip.

The violent and fierce power radiated in all directions, triggering the protective force field on the arena.

Streaks of blue light flowed across the protective force field, which was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of the main cannon, indicating that it was being subjected to the terrifying impact of the source force.

Although the hundreds of thousands of spectators in the surrounding stands were protected by the protective force field, most of them were experiencing such terrifying power for the first time.

Most of the audience members were pale and terrified, as if the sky were about to collapse.

After two rounds of fighting, only Li Xuanfang truly unleashed a powerful spiritual magnetic field at the master level, along with a source force field that matched it.

A single, powerful shot is enough to pierce through the outer armor and protective force field of a battleship, which is what makes the Star Armor Master truly terrifying.

It cannot be locked by electronic devices, and it can concentrate its power to break through the protective force field and thick armor.

The earth-shattering shot had already intimidated the entire audience.

Many Star Armor Masters in the stands watched with exceptional focus. Gao Wu could bully and tease Pei Mingyue, but facing Li Xuanfang, who was experienced in combat and giving his all, Gao Wu had no chance to take shortcuts.

This battle is an exceptionally severe test; it remains to be seen whether Gao Wu has the ability to overcome it!

To everyone's surprise, Long Yuan did not dodge or move aside, but instead raised his two swords to meet the Panlong Spear head-on.

The two swords transformed into a bright and dazzling sword light, and the sharp whistling sound emitted by the swords cutting through the air also layered into a terrifying sonic impact, running rampant in the arena space.

Li Xuanfang remained remarkably calm in the face of Gao Wu's challenge. Unable to see through Gao Wu, he naturally relied on his own strengths.

Whether the opponent engages or dodges, he will act according to his own rhythm.

Li Xuanfang, riding the Dragon King, unleashed the Demon-Slaying Spear and launched a series of thrusts at Long Yuan.

The 25-ton black spear flashed like black lightning, delivering a hundred consecutive thrusts in an instant.

Long Yuan, however, wielded his twin swords to meet the attack head-on, the clash of spear and swords exploding into hundreds of sparks and lightning.

The battle entered its most intense phase right from the start, and the general public couldn't understand the situation even by looking at the screen.

The two suits of star armor moved too fast, their sword and spear flashes intertwining and converging, causing the air to roar and vibrate, and even their protective force fields trembled and shook under the bombardment of terrifying source energy.

After hundreds of thrusts, the Dragon King finally caught his breath and seized the opportunity to rush in with his twin swords.

Li Xuanfang sensed something was wrong but had no time to react. He could only sweep his spear horizontally and unleash the Dragon King's strongest divine power: Thunder.

The Dragon King's azure body instantly blazed with lightning, creating a dense network of high-voltage lightning within a radius of 100 meters.

Long Yuan did not retreat at all. Instead, he charged into the lightning net with his sword. Amidst the bursts of lightning, the Dragon King threw away his spear and struck out with a palm, which erupted with a pillar of lightning.

Black Dragon Abyss raised his sword and pointed it precisely at Dragon King's wrist, deflecting the direct lightning strike slightly. The lightning grazed Dragon Abyss's body and swept past, scattering the spiritual light of Dragon Abyss's protective force field.

Long Yuan, who was close at hand, slashed dozens of times with his swords, the continuous sword light transforming into a huge ring of snow-white light, severing the majestic dragon head...

The audience members who witnessed this scene all let out a unified scream.

Zhang Xuanxiang, the Eastern Heavenly King, had an icy expression, his hands clenching into tight fists. Gao Wu's powerful and relentless attack had forcefully severed Li Xuanfang's dragon head with his peerless divine sword; such swordsmanship was truly terrifying… (End of Chapter)
