Chapter 156: Chapter 149 Guest

“Wow, so handsome, so handsome…”

“This is just too beautiful!”

“Sword Immortal brother…”

A group of girls were leaning on the windows of the Sword Dojo, peeking at Gao Xuan, their eyes filled with infatuation, almost drooling.

Jiang Xuejun looked disdainfully at the girls outside the window. Since the start of school, every day there was a large group of fanatics coming to peek at Gao Xuan.

At first, the Sword Dojo allowed them to come in and visit, but later found that this group was too disruptive, affecting the normal order of the Sword Hall, so they were no longer allowed in.

Even so, it still couldn’t stop a large number of enthusiastic fans.

Even with the blazing afternoon sun, there was still a crowd of girls who didn’t mind the scorching sun, just leaning on the window to watch Gao Xuan.

Jiang Xuejun was genuinely disgusted with this group of fanatics. What’s the use of looking at Gao Xuan? He is a man you’ll never get!

Since Gao Xuan defeated Haijing University’s expert at the freshman evening event, he had become the top idol of Mingjing University.

Because Gao Xuan was dressed in snow-like white that day, his sword was like flowing light, and he appeared otherworldly, his gorgeous and charismatic demeanor outshining everyone else. He was even given the title of Taihua Sword Immortal.

Taihua was a way to praise Gao Xuan’s unparalleled handsomeness and elegance, beyond description.

Taihua Sword Immortal was initially just something a group of female fans called him for fun, but it quickly spread on the forums. Everyone felt the name was fitting, and eventually, all the students in school started calling him that.

Mingjing University is the most important university in Mingjing, gathering the elite youth. Gao Xuan’s influence was also continually spreading outward.

Of course, many people thought the name Taihua Sword Immortal was too extravagant. But considering Gao Xuan’s looks, they felt the title wasn’t unfitting.

Well, calling him Sword Immortal was just for fun. It was different from formal titles like Swordsman or Sword Hero.

Gao Xuan’s image was too outstanding, his fame spreading far and wide, so naturally, his fan base grew larger and larger.

Gao Xuan himself felt quite proud; having so many people like and worship him gave him a substantial sense of achievement.

As the banner of the Sword Dojo, Gao Xuan now came to the Sword Dojo to sit every day.

Yes, Gao Xuan never trained.

What a joke, a bunch of weak swordsmen at level two or three, what was there to train with them?

Jiang Yuan also had nothing to teach him. Jiang Yuan was self-aware and never gave Gao Xuan any suggestions on swordsmanship.

Yun Qingshang was much more disciplined than Gao Xuan, practicing with the other students every day.

Jiang Yuan also rarely said anything to Yun Qingshang. He could see that Yun Qingshang’s level in Sword Dao was higher than his. There was no need for him to mess things up.

Gao Xuan also felt that Yun Qingshang should practice with everyone. Unlike him, she was rapidly gaining power and needed to continuously consolidate to fully grasp all her strength.

While others practiced swordsmanship, Gao Xuan wasn’t idle, he was usually playing games.

Others couldn’t see the virtual projection screen, as Gao Xuan controlled the character entirely with his mind, without moving a finger, and no one noticed he was gaming.

This War God Glory game was arguably the hottest multiplayer online real-time tactical game on the Battle Net, the most popular game there.

Competitive Sword Dao, as developed as it might be, was still a competition, with a different concept than gaming competitions.

Most people seek happiness online and few would want to continue suffering in the virtual world.

War God Glory was played with virtual game characters, focusing on operation and awareness, having little to do with swordsmanship levels. Such battle games naturally attracted more players.

Gao Xuan played this game with a purpose. Despite not playing for long, he had already achieved the number one rank on the Star Server.

This Star Server wasn’t for the Pegasus Star; it was an account he got from Nuwa on the Battle Net.

In order to achieve Virtual Godhood, War God Glory was indispensable.

Once he achieved first place in this game’s alliance, he would certainly be listed as a key observation target. A virtual identity was very important.

Gao Xuan also played this game to relax, especially since he had the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, which was like having a full map cheat.

No need to mention operation skills, just having such awareness was invincible.

In addition to gaming, Gao Xuan would control his Spirit Projection Avatar to enter Negative Space to train in power.

For Gao Xuan, multitasking was basic operation. His Spiritual Power was overwhelmingly strong to the point of overflowing, allowing him to multi-thread operations easily.

Even when entering Negative Space, with his immense Spiritual Power, Gao Xuan could still control the projection avatar.

However, the Source Power erosion in Negative Space was real. Gao Xuan’s avatar generally couldn’t last very long.

Fortunately, the Godslaying Sword was intangible and in form, just a trace of Godly Light. As soon as Gao Xuan’s Spirit Projection condensed into an avatar, he could project the Godslaying Sword there as well.

The Spirit Projection Avatar, after all, was formed by condensing Source Power. Compared to a True Master, there was a huge difference. At the Power Level, the gap was even wider.

Generally, such an avatar could easily fool tenth-level experts.

Yan Qingge was too reverential towards him, intimidated by his Sword Intent, which was why she was easily deceived.

Experts like Red Flame and Wind Blade, with strong Source Power and firm spirit, required Gao Xuan to use the Godslaying Sword to guard the avatar before he could deceive them.

Only in this way could they be fooled into hitting the Cloud Burst Shock Bomb embedded in his avatar.

This is how he easily dealt with two major experts.

If Gao Xuan had taken the field in his real body, winning would not be a problem, but Wind Blade surely couldn’t be retained.

The Wind Blade Technique was indeed a top-tier Secret Technique. The Flame Palm was somewhat less potent but still powerful.

Previously as an Assassin, Gao Xuan’s path was close combat. He wasn’t very adept with Source Power Magic.

As his Celestial Dragon Eye upgraded to the Bronze Tier, his power had significantly increased.

Gao Xuan could barely release Thunder Skill, and the method was rather crude.

This was also because Gao Xuan hadn’t absorbed Celestial Dragon Blood, thus his Constitution couldn’t fully align with Celestial Dragon Eye. His release of Source Power Magic was thus inhibited. His Level was also low, keeping him from unlocking the heritage within Celestial Dragon Eye, preventing full release of Source Power Magic’s potential.

The Flame Palm and Wind Blade Technique could mobilize the power of Celestial Dragon Eye better.

Fortunately, with the Negative Space, Gao Xuan could unleash power without scruple, and supplement the Godslaying Sword at the same time.

By releasing Celestial Dragon Eye through the avatar, he could only exert fifty percent of the Source Power at most. Because Celestial Dragon Eye couldn’t be transferred to the avatar, unlike the Godslaying Sword.

Gao Xuan had gained much from his recent cultivation, especially since the Wind Blade Technique was very compatible with his swordsmanship path.

A lizard-like monster over ten meters long suddenly opened its mouth and spewed a burst of flames.

The blue light flickered on Gao Xuan’s avatar, and his body transformed into a blue rainbow as he spun around the lizard.

When he stopped, the lizard-like monster was split into two pieces from the middle.

The monster’s two halves twisted for a long time before finally dying.

After Gao Xuan absorbed the monster’s Spiritual essence with the Godslaying Sword, his body’s surface was left with multiple voids.

Having manipulated Source Power to perform the Wind Blade Technique, the avatar came into contact with Negative Space’s Source Power, and was immediately corroded by more than half.

Gao Xuan simply abandoned this avatar and retrieved the Godslaying Sword.

The Source Power in Negative Space was too difficult to manage, needing him to condense the Source Power avatar outside to re-enter.

At this moment, Gao Xuan suddenly sensed that Fang Yumei had returned, with a rather peculiar aura.

The Six-winged Celestial Cicada chimed, both cautious and happy.

Gao Xuan couldn’t quite grasp Fang Yumei’s intentions, appearing not to be coming for trouble, yet the vigilance implied by the Six-winged Celestial Cicada raised questions.

After class, Gao Xuan, along with Yun Qingshang, Jiang Xuejun, Qingyi Fei Niao, and Xu Lingyun, went to the cafeteria.

The Sword Dao Society had its own dining hall. All students received generous meal subsidies, averaging two hundred per person per day.

For special seed students like Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang, the meal subsidy was six hundred daily. They had access to dozens of specially supplied fruits and supplements in the dining hall.

This was a benefit for excellent swordsmen.

For low-tier swordsmen, eating was the most important way to replenish body energy. What they ate was extremely important.

Mingjing University’s swordsmanship level in the Sword Dojo was average, but other benefits and treatments were not lacking.

Xu Lingyun, being cheeky, discovered that following Gao Xuan could get him free meals, so he would follow around every day, calling him godfather.

Gao Xuan didn’t mind. His body had also evolved to a bottleneck point, and these daily diets could only maintain the basic needs of his body, making no difference whether he ate more or less.

On the other hand, Xu Lingyun, a Level 5, dared to fight and kill. He had the right attitude and was quite fun in speaking and acting.

Gao Xuan thought this follower was not bad, handling some chores quite efficiently.

After dinner, Gao Xuan took Yun Qingshang back to his home.

The large house Bai Yutang bought for him was spacious and comfortable, with a Virtual Landing Pod, a variety of household equipment, and household robot services.

He would usually return here to live, and Yun Qingshang would follow him here.

Gao Xuan had actually invited Qingyi Fei Niao as well, but she was too shy to come over.

Today, there was a guest at Gao Xuan’s door.

Fang Yumei wore a fitting gray suit, her smile gentle, with an intellectual temperament quite matching the school atmosphere. She held a black leather case, the contents unknown.

“Teacher Fang, why have you come?” Gao Xuan asked in a surprised tone.

Fang Yumei smiled and said, “Gao Xuan, I’ve come to discuss something important with you…”
