Alliance Standard Time, March 9th, 7 PM.

The Jintan Sports Hall of Golden Bull University was packed with hundreds of thousands of spectators. Looking around, one could see people all wearing gold t-shirts.

The University Sword Dao League is always the most popular sporting event on the planet.

In literature, there is no number one; in martial arts, there is no number two.

Sword Dao has an incredibly deep foundation. It is also the most straightforward form of competition and is highly entertaining. The university sword teams represent cities, planets, and even administrative star realms as they compete across the alliance.

Because the University Sword Dao League is so popular, the competition is exceptionally fierce.

Beo, dressed in sea blue armor and wielding a five-foot-long heavy sword, stood proudly at the visitor's coach bench, surveying the sports hall.

The neatly dressed home fans, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, did not put much pressure on him.

As a Level 13 Silver Sword Hero, Beo looked down on everyone. In his view, hundreds of thousands of spectators were weaklings, incapable of influencing the match.

At the level of a Silver Sword Hero, one's Sword Intent has already been refined, Spiritual Power is condensed and stable, and it's not easily affected by external forces.

The enthusiastic atmosphere of hundreds of thousands of home fans indeed had very little impact on Beo.

Beo even commented to Minos, "Gold sword uniforms, utterly vulgar."

Helen nodded in agreement beside him, "They are tacky."

Gold symbolizes wealth, but this color is difficult to pull off. Ordinary people wearing all gold look quite foolish.

Feeling uplifted by Helen's agreement, Beo quickly said, "Such a stupid sword team isn't even qualified to compete with us."

Helen pursed her lips but said nothing. A tacky uniform does not equate to the sword team's performance level.

Moreover, Gao Xuan is actually very strong.

Helen had specially studied Gao Xuan's battle videos. Gao Xuan's swordsmanship level was astonishingly high. The only thing limiting him was his Source Power level.

However, in her view, Gao Xuan was definitely already a Silver Sword Hero. All his battle videos show him handling situations with ease, indicating his deep Source Power.

If Beo were too careless, he might not actually be Gao Xuan's opponent.

Rhea knew that Beo was proud and didn't take Golden Bull University seriously at all. She said nothing more.

Only after Beo experiences a failure will he learn his lesson.

However, Beo's solid Source Power and fierce heavy sword may very well triumph over Gao Xuan's agile and swift sword style.

Other members of Celestial Whale University also appeared relaxed, believing this match to be their victory. No one thought Golden Bull University could overturn the situation.

Even if Gao Xuan is very strong, they still have Beo, Minos, and Helen!

As for Lan Tianshou, he was just a weak and soft Silver Sword Hero, a disgrace to the Silver Sword Heroes for his lack of combat prowess.

The atmosphere at Celestial Whale University was very relaxed, and Rhea did not intend to restrain it.

After the rousing drumbeats, the announcer loudly declared the first match had begun.

Celestial Whale University fielded a Level 10 swordsman, the weakest member of their sword team.

Golden Bull University sent out Bai Yunfeng, an expert from the Bai Family, only slightly weaker than Lan Tianshou. He is also a Level 10 swordsman now.

Before Gao Xuan arrived, Bai Yunfeng was a prominent figure in the Sword Dao Academy.

Once Gao Xuan arrived, even Lan Tianshou was overshadowed by Gao Xuan. Bai Yunfeng naturally fell out of the spotlight too.

This time, Bai Yunfeng actively volunteered for the first match.

For the spectators in Golden Source City, Bai Yunfeng was a well-known contestant and very popular. His appearance immediately drew cheers from the crowd.

Standing on the stage, becoming the focus of thousands of spectators, Bai Yunfeng seemed very excited too.

Once the referee announced the start of the match, Bai Yunfeng immediately fell into a disadvantage.

The young swordsman from Celestial Whale University had skillful and aggressive swordsmanship. His thrusting sword was as insidious as a viper.

In less than twenty moves, Bai Yunfeng took three hits from the thrust and staggered back seven or eight steps. The match ended there.

Bai Yunfeng's defeat cast a slightly oppressive atmosphere over the venue.

For the second match, Yun Qingshang stepped up.

The home crowd did not recognize Yun Qingshang. Seeing the elegant and high-spirited Yun Qingshang walk out, there was only polite applause. Everyone was curious, not knowing where Yun Qingshang came from.

The announcer did not introduce Yun Qingshang's background, only calling her a genius emerging from Golden Bull University.

"Yun Qingshang has finally entered the stage."

Lin Liang, the head coach of Golden Source University, lit up his eyes. He was particularly curious about Yun Qingshang and Gao Xuan. He came specifically to watch their match this time.

"Looks good, but why such an ice-cold demeanor?"

Lin Chaotong made a frivolous comment.

He was a junior of Lin Liang and from the direct lineage of the Lin Family, speaking always with arrogance and frivolity.

Wang Jia Yi also smirked, "Women who pretend to be aloof like this are wild underneath."

He was laughing when suddenly Yun Qingshang's gaze turned towards him.

Their eyes met, and Yun Qingshang's chilling, fierce gaze penetrated into Wang Jia Yi's heart like a lightning bolt. Wang Jia Yi immediately stopped laughing.

Wang Jia Yi's face turned stiff, and he sneered, "What's she being so high and mighty about? If she ticks me off, I'll take her down tonight!"

He muttered this under his breath, not daring to speak openly.

In fact, not only was Wang Jia Yi intimidated by Yun Qingshang's killing intent, even the swordsmen of Celestial Whale University were overawed, their faces changing color.

All the tens of thousands of spectators felt the temperature in the sports hall suddenly drop by several degrees. Those sitting in the front row couldn't help but shiver.
