At this moment, even the Celestial Whale Sword Team was somewhat stunned.

"This woman seems to have some skills!"

"Full of killing intent, looks pretty serious..."

"Not bad..."

Beo also gave a compliment. From a swordsman's perspective, the momentum Yun Qingshang just unleashed was infinitely close to Sword Intent. The killing vibe was as if she had slaughtered countless beings, almost tangible.

"She is very excellent." Beo heard a clear and magnetic voice behind him, making all his muscles tense up.

When Beo turned around, sure enough, it was Gao Xuan standing behind him. He didn't even notice when Gao Xuan arrived.

The loose golden Sword Dao robe on Gao Xuan was like a dragon robe, displaying an aura of elegance and grandeur.

Beo had to admit, this youth, twenty centimeters shorter than him, perfectly merged looks, physique, and bearing. Despite having the height advantage, standing before Gao Xuan, he didn't feel any edge in confidence.

It was rather like a guard by the emperor's side, brave yet crude and inferior.

The feeling of being suppressed by Gao Xuan's presence was uncomfortable, but Beo couldn't find a target for relief.

Beo asked irritably, "What are you doing here?"

"Visiting an old friend."

As Gao Xuan spoke, he leaned down to gently hug Helen and brushed against her lips softly.

Seeing Gao Xuan act this way, Beo's face turned gloomy: "What are you doing!"

"Dear friend, haven't seen you for a few hours, I missed you."

Gao Xuan ignored Beo and gently held Helen's hand, asking softly, "Did you miss me?"

"Hehehe..."

Helen laughed, finding Gao Xuan so bold, even a bit wild. But it seemed so natural on Gao Xuan, just made him appear intriguing.

"I didn't miss you."

Helen glanced at Gao Xuan holding her hand, "Are you going to keep holding on? That's not very polite."

"Good friends should not only hold hands during the day, but also sleep foot to foot."

Gao Xuan smiled, "That's the etiquette of our grand Huaxia."

"Hahaha..."

Helen laughed with joy, her emerald eyes curving into crescents.

Beo stood by angrily, seeming as if he was about to act, but Gao Xuan shamelessly kept holding Helen's hand. How dare he!

If Helen had shown even a little displeasure or resistance, Beo would have drawn his sword to cut off Gao Xuan's hand.

To Beo's frustration, Helen was laughing so brightly and happily, showing no hint of displeasure.

The other members of the Celestial Whale Sword Team also glared at Gao Xuan, but unfortunately, with his eyes closed, Gao Xuan didn't react to any of their stares.

Beo wanted to speak further, but Gao Xuan spoke first, "Your person lost, aren't you going up?"

Beo raised his head and realized that his team member had already been knocked out by Yun Qingshang with a single stroke.

He fiercely said to Gao Xuan, "You just wait and see, watch how I kill that little girl!"

Gao Xuan leisurely advised, "I suggest you be cautious."

For some reason, the underlying tone in these words made Beo's heart sink. He lifted his thick brows, wondering how he, a dignified Silver Sword Hero, the most outstanding warrior of the Beo family this generation, could fear Gao Xuan!

Gao Xuan dared to threaten him; he must teach Gao Xuan a lesson.

With a sullen face, Beo lifted his heavy sword and stepped onto the arena, deliberately unleashing Sword Qi. With every step, his Sword Qi grew denser.

By the time he reached the center of the arena, his Deep Blue Armor was emitting blazing red Sword Qi, as intense as flames, shooting up to the dome.

The fierce Sword Qi's imposing presence covered the entire Jintan Sports Hall.

Tens of thousands of spectators were intimidated by Beo's Sword Qi, and for a moment, the vast Jintan Sports Hall fell silent.

Yun Qingshang's eyes also showed a touch of caution; her opponent's Sword Qi was exceedingly potent. She had not yet advanced to Silver and was far behind him.

Her talent was good, but she couldn't compare to Gao Xuan. Despite having abundant resources, she still couldn't overcome the threshold of Silver.

Gao Xuan advised her not to rush; this step must be taken steadily.

Considering the time, she had only reached Level 5 last May. Advancing this fast was already impressive.

Facing a Silver Sword Hero like Beo, Yun Qingshang clearly felt the enormous gap between herself and a Silver Sword Hero for the first time.

With her perspective, Beo's presence seemed a bit stronger than that of a Sword Hero like Lan Changkong. Of course, she couldn't accurately judge between the two.

Beo wasn't in a hurry to act; he enjoyed seeing the other side appear weak and helpless.

Unfortunately, Yun Qingshang looked calm, her eyes cold and emotionless, without a trace of being scared. This somewhat disappointed Beo.

Helen was also a bit surprised by Yun Qingshang's performance. Despite the vast difference in strength, Yun Qingshang remained so composed, which in itself was impressive.

She withdrew her hand from Gao Xuan's. "You shouldn't have angered Beo. His Dragon-slaying Sword is very strong!"

Helen added, "I think Yun Qingshang is following the Dragon-man path, which is restrained by Beo's Dragon-slaying Sword."

"You've noticed even that, impressive."

Gao Xuan nodded in praise. Helen truly was a peerless genius, recognizing Yun Qingshang's evolutionary path at a glance. This was really difficult to do.

Helen saw Gao Xuan's relaxed demeanor, as if he weren't worried about Yun Qingshang at all.

She had to remind him again, "Beo really will kill."

"I know."

Gao Xuan casually said, "I also really will kill."

The dangerous implication in Gao Xuan's words sent a shiver through everyone from Celestial Whale University.

Helen was speechless. Gao Xuan looked bright and cheerful, but his words were so intense.

"Don't worry, no matter what, I won't hurt you."

Gao Xuan earnestly told Helen, "I think we must have been lovers in our past life. Meeting again in this life, I will be good to you."

"Well, thank you then..." Helen was at a loss whether to cry or laugh. She truly couldn't guess Gao Xuan's mind.

This Gao Xuan, free-spirited yet flamboyant, mysterious yet dangerous, gentle yet charming, was truly full of captivating allure.

Yesterday, Helen only teased Gao Xuan a bit. Now, she was genuinely interested in him.

Helen looked down on her peers and even those of her generation, finding them arrogant, foolish, and incompetent.

As for the older generation, they were selfish and greasy, simply unbearable to look at.

Some might think Gao Xuan was frivolous, but with Gao Xuan's looks, frivolity was dashing elegance, carefree and unrestrained.

At this moment, two heavy swords clashed on the arena, making a loud noise.

The heavy sword in Yun Qingshang's hand broke, while Beo's heavy sword slashed forward. Seeing she was about to be cut down, Beo couldn't bear to kill such a beautiful girl.

The sword blade turned and struck Yun Qingshang's waist, sending her flying over ten meters before she fell to the ground spitting blood. Her armor was shattered, but the Crimson Heart had absorbed most of the heavy sword's power.

Even so, Yun Qingshang felt as if her internal organs had exploded. A layer of blood colored her eyes, and she stood there swaying. In the end, she used her broken sword to steady herself.

Yun Qingshang's tragic yet resilient figure deeply moved the audience. After a few seconds of silence, thunderous applause erupted.

Medical personnel on-site immediately supported Yun Qingshang, placing her on a stretcher to carry her away.

The host loudly praised, "Although young, Yun Qingshang's will is incredibly strong. She is defeated but remains glorious. Let's give our applause to this strong and beautiful young swordsman..."

Within the sports hall, thunderous applause sounded again.

Even Wang Jia Yi and Lin Chaotong from Golden Source University couldn't help but turn serious. Although Yun Qingshang was just a swordsman, her combat power was no less than theirs. She seemed even a bit stronger.

The main issue was Beo was too strong. If they were to fight him, they would likely fare worse.

Amid the thunderous applause, Beo suddenly pointed his sword at Gao Xuan sitting below, shouting, "Gao Xuan, come fight!"

This fierce shout roared like thunder, overpowering the applause and cheers of hundreds of thousands.

Hundreds of thousands of people had their ears ringing simultaneously, suddenly unable to hear any other sound, only Beo's voice echoed.

This momentum caused the crowd to change their expressions. This Celestial Whale University's Sword Hero—his power was immense.

According to the order, it was Lan Tianshou's turn to fight. However, intimidated by Beo's aura, Lan Tianshou's face turned pale, and his hand trembled holding the sword.

"Looking for a beating, no problem."

Gao Xuan smiled slightly at Helen, "Want to bet he can't take a single one of my strikes?"

Helen looked at Gao Xuan in amazement, "Are you serious?"

"Dare to bet?"

Helen, a bit defiant, said, "Of course, I'll bet anything."

"Girl, you're too young to gamble everything like that."

Gao Xuan burst into laughter, "How about this—if you lose, you'd be my lover."

Helen countered, "And if I win?"

"Then I'll be your lover."

Gao Xuan spread his hands and smiled, "How about it, isn't that fair?"

Looking at Gao Xuan's unparalleled handsome face, Helen suddenly felt an urge to stab it with a sword, just to see how thick his skin really was!
