Chapter 402: Chapter 356 Death Golden Crow_2
Just as Gao Xuan was extremely curious about his alien identity in his previous life’s Virtual Godhood, he dared not ask the Book of All-Knowing.
Gao Xuan was very clear that obtaining the answer would inevitably require a huge price, a price he couldn’t afford right now.
After putting away the Book of All-Knowing, Gao Xuan began preparing for tomorrow’s battle.
Jin Yutang and Hodder were insignificant, Gao Xuan had to deal with Tifeng, Qin Ken, and even other hidden powerhouses.
For instance, the vice president of the Blood God Association.
Nuwa didn’t know the true identity of the vice president of the Blood God Association, but through data synthesis, a rough judgment could be made.
Gao Xuan didn’t ask the Book of All-Knowing either; he had his own judgment. If the vice president of the Blood God Association came over, he was definitely up to something. He would naturally reveal himself when the time came.
That night, there was a storm raging.
By morning, the wind had stopped, the rain had cleared, and the sun rose slowly, illuminating the sky and earth.
At 10 AM in Purple Wall City, the Arctic Hall was already filled with spectators.
The number of viewers on the Battle Net had even reached 4 trillion.
Gao Xuan emerged out of nowhere, with his lowly background, unparalleled swordsmanship, and unmatched looks, making the Sword Dao finals a hot topic and raising its heat to the highest level.
When Gao Xuan entered the finals, everyone felt this was the most suspense-less final in history.
However, everyone wanted to see this final match.
People from the lower classes saw Gao Xuan as a representative of their own class. They believed Gao Xuan represented hope, resistance against the noble families, and infinite possibilities.
Female fans simply adored Gao Xuan’s looks, and they purely wished for him to receive the best of everything with no ulterior motives.
A small group of people were attracted by Gao Xuan’s unparalleled swordsmanship.
Regardless of their motives or thoughts, Gao Xuan’s support rate reached 85%.
As one netizen put it, they weren’t watching the finals to spectate, they just wanted to see Gao Xuan become king!
When Gao Xuan entered the arena, a million spectators cheered in unison, shouting the title "Taihua Sword Immortal."
On the Battle Net platform, countless bullet comments flew by, with the words "Taihua Sword Immortal" densely filling the screen and completely drowning it.
Gao Xuan’s popularity was already completely overwhelming for Qianji University on the opposite side.
The members of the Qianji University Sword Team were all looking dejected. Not mentioning Gao Xuan, just the enormous momentum on-site already left them breathless.
Jin Yutang and Hodder’s expressions were also unsightly. Both had made many preparations for this battle, but when it was time to go on stage, they felt overwhelming pressure.
They weren’t too concerned about the surrounding audience’s cheers. What they cared about was Gao Xuan’s attitude.
This time in the finals, even Yun Qingshang didn’t come. The other members of the Golden Bull Sword Team had already taken a spaceship back today. Only Gao Xuan attended.
Alone, Gao Xuan had no uneasiness whatsoever; his demeanor was graceful and composed, his transcendent and unearthly temperament full of charm.
For some reason, Jin Yutang and Hodder felt a pang of panic when they saw Gao Xuan.
Tifeng felt disdain seeing the two juniors like this. How bad could losing a sword match be? The two juniors seemed scared to death, truly making him look down on them.
He said solemnly, "At this point, you can only rely on yourselves to fight."
Jin Yutang looked around; Jin Guangshan hadn’t appeared yet, making him even more uncertain.
He had never encountered such an uphill battle and had no experience in dealing with it, let alone the confidence to handle it.
The referee struck the golden gong, and the match officially began.
The first member of the Qianji University Sword Team stepped onto the stage. Despite wearing armor, his demeanor exuded caution, even appearing a bit timid.
Compared to Gao Xuan, who stood upright with his sword, there was an inexplicable sense of comical absurdity.
The audience burst into laughter, all finding the scene amusing.
The member was already feeling insecure and was immediately baffled by the laughter. He even seemed a bit lost, standing there motionless.
The referee, a bit helpless, gestured to both sides that the match could officially begin.
The commentators on-site were also laughing, with one saying, "This contestant is a bit too nervous. In fact, he’s a genuine Sword Hero, skilled in Quick Sword, and has performed extremely well in previous matches..."
As soon as the golden gong sounded, the commentator sped up, "Alright, the match has officially started. Let’s see how both sides fight. Oh, the match is over..."
The commentator’s previously excited voice returned to normal, "Gao Xuan resolved the battle with one sword stroke. Hmm, let’s look at the replay; that sword strike was magnificent..."
The second, the third team members were both taken down by one stroke from Gao Xuan.
The fourth to step up was Hodder. He touched the Droprunir’s Golden Ring on his left wrist before wearing his armor.
This Marvel was also extremely powerful, the ultimate treasure of the Odin lineage. However, it required strong Source Power to drive, which was severely restrictive.
For this, Hodder had a piece of World Tree Leaf in his mouth.
This leaf was far from the Wisdom Fruit but could provide him with powerful Source Power and Spiritual Power.
Hodder gently chewed the World Tree Leaf, the bitter juice spreading through his mouth and flowing down his throat.
Then, all the Source Power within him started burning up. The raging Source Power nearly overwhelmed Hodder.
This overwhelming sensation was on the Source Power level; his body underwent no direct change.
However, the excessively strong Source Power surge still caused capillaries in Hodder’s eyes to burst, and his deep blue eyes took on a layer of red.
Hodder’s unusual Source Power reaction immediately caught the attention of many experts.
Song Muyang said to Song Yunxi, "The Odin Family is truly going all out this time; that kid must have eaten the World Tree Leaf. His Source Power has probably increased fivefold..."
Song Yunxi asked questioningly, "Can he control such powerful Source Power?"
"Facing Gao Xuan’s Quick Sword, they only have a chance if they fight to the death."
Song Muyang said profoundly, "Odin is one of the Twelve Golden Bloodlines, and even if their family has declined, their foundation is unmatched by other noble families. Gao Xuan overestimates himself; I reckon he’ll suffer..."
Yuan Wuxian, Liu Po, Zhou He, and various Star Realm teams all gathered on-site. These experts all sharply noticed Hodder’s abnormality.
If it were any other Golden Bloodline Family, the match would certainly be stopped at this point, requesting the referee to inspect Hodder.
Gao Xuan, with no power or backing, had fought his way into the finals, but no one stood up for him now.
Liu Zhong, gloating, said to Liu Po, "Watch, Hodder definitely has the Droprunir’s Golden Ring with him. It can copy one portion of power into nine. One sword stroke could kill Gao Xuan!"
Hodder, nearly overwhelmed by Source Power, was simultaneously excited and calm. He took advantage of Gao Xuan bowing with his sword to unexpectedly draw his sword and slash towards Gao Xuan.
Droprunir’s Golden Ring was activated instantly, Hodder’s ferocious sword strike was replicated into nine, all superimposed on the Golden Crow Sword in his hand.
The Golden Crow Sword transformed under the stimulation of nine Sword Qi into a golden crow, swooping towards Gao Xuan.
The crow’s red eyes gleamed with the dark red glow of death. The moment it materialized, the surrounding arena was enveloped in layers of white mist.
All spectators on-site could only see two red glows in a ball of golden light. The invisible yet immense Death Power shocked everyone.
The trillion-level audience watching on the Battle Net was also captivated by the Death Power released by the Golden Crow.
From the arena to the Battle Net, all onlookers instantly fell silent, experiencing intense fear in their hearts.
The terrifying might of the Death Crow made several Golden Powerhouses frown. The true depth of Odin’s lineage was indeed profound.
This time, they were curious to see how Gao Xuan would cope.
