Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 103 Review
Wang Zixuan and Bai Dishan are both newly recruited warriors. They only have eyes for Bai Yushuang and Yuan Qiansheng, who are from Anjing No.1 Middle School, and regard them as their strongest enemies.

They racked their brains to hunt strange beasts, hoping to defeat No. 1 Middle School in the preliminary rounds. Several team members were injured in the process, facing enormous risks.

The result was that an unknown middle school won first place in the preliminary round!

The two young prodigies found this hard to accept, and they both looked at Gao Wu. They didn't remember Dongjiang No. 1 Middle School, but they remembered Gao Wu.

After all, he was the only middle school student carrying two Golden Thunderhawk swords. Gao Wu was always accompanied by a cool, aloof beauty in sunglasses; the two were practically inseparable.

The most amazing thing is that the woman in sunglasses was actually a staff member, and she accompanied Gao Wu without any hesitation.

Young prodigies are never short of boyfriends or girlfriends, but practicing martial arts is extremely energy-consuming and requires a lot of time.

As long as one has a passion for martial arts, no one will waste time on it.

If one lacks even this basic self-discipline, it is impossible to achieve much in martial arts, let alone surpass many martial artists of the same age.

There are very few couples as close as Gao Wu and Song Mingyue, and the key is that the two of them make no attempt to hide it.

The key is that Song Mingyue is beautiful and bright, with a clear and icy temperament. Her appearance and temperament are outstanding. Bai Yushuang is also exceptionally beautiful, but she is never as good as Song Mingyue in terms of temperament.

Such a beautiful woman naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Yet, she indifferently rejected all attempts to talk to her, refusing to utter a single word.

In contrast, Gao Wu is passionate and flamboyant, which is a stark contrast to Song Mingyue.

The two of them together were quite eye-catching.

Another point is that Gao Wu once defeated Bai Yushuang, who was still a martial artist, in public on the arena.

Bai Yushuang has now advanced to the rank of warrior, but this embarrassing past of hers is on the internet, and anyone who is even slightly interested in Bai Yushuang will likely see this video.

With two popular beauties, Song Mingyue and Bai Yushuang, supporting Gao Wu, it's no wonder he's extremely popular.

Everyone only remembered that Gao Wu sent an emergency distress signal on the public channel, and thought that something serious had happened to him.

No one expected that Gao Wu would lead his team to first place in the preliminary round!

The two young warriors, Wang Zixuan and Yuan Qiansheng, who had initially looked down on Gao Wu with a mocking air, could no longer laugh.

Even Bai Dishan, this shrewd young warrior, frowned deeply, clearly puzzled by Gao Wu's first-place ranking, and even suspected foul play.

It wasn't that he was a conspiracy theorist, but Gao Wu's high-profile and flamboyant manner suggested he might indeed have some powerful backer. It was only natural that the judges would give him preferential treatment…

The most shocked and hardest to accept was Bai Yushuang. She was defeated by Gao Wu on the Xuetao Cup stage and then mocked by him. This huge setback only fueled her competitive spirit.

After returning to Anjing, she trained diligently and quickly broke through her bottleneck, condensing her source energy acupoints and successfully advancing to the rank of warrior. She was overjoyed to learn that Gao Wu had come to participate in the Qilin Cup.

Bai Yushuang never expected that before she could teach Gao Wu a lesson, she and Yuan Qiansheng, the two warriors, would lose to Gao Wu in the preliminary round.

Seeing Bai Yushuang's blank expression, Yuan Qiansheng said in a low voice, "It's normal for country folk to be good at hunting. With a bit of luck, it's not surprising that they got first place."

“That’s right.” Bai Yushuang was convinced by this reason. Dongjiang is near the mountains, so it’s normal for Gao Wu and his group to know how to hunt.

She quickly regained her composure. It would be even better if Gao Wu could enter the semi-finals, and ideally, the two of them could meet in the ring and get back at her for the embarrassment she had lost in front of millions of viewers in Beizhou!

The geniuses like Wang Zixuan and Bai Dishan quickly calmed down. After all, it was just a preliminary round, and luck was also very important in hunting exotic beasts. Gao Wu getting first place in the preliminary round didn't mean anything.

Martial arts masters such as An Ziru, Shen An, and Song Yunzhen clearly saw the expressions and eyes of the group of teenagers, and the masters nodded to each other in agreement.

As expected of the young elites of Beizhou, although they still can't hide their feelings, they can quickly calm down, which is quite impressive.

If a teenager never reveals any of their thoughts and completely controls their emotions, that would be going too far. Teenagers should be immature in all aspects, so that they have room to grow.

Of course, one must have good innate qualities and a good temperament to reach a very high potential. Otherwise, no matter how hard one tries, one will not achieve much.

Martial arts are somewhat similar to mathematics; without talent, no matter how much you practice, you won't achieve much.

For these martial arts masters, becoming a samurai is nothing special, or even becoming a martial arts instructor is nothing special. Because a few samurai or martial arts instructors can't change anything.

They aspire to cultivate unparalleled powerhouses who can defy fate. Even if the odds are extremely low, a one in a billion chance is worth the effort.

Bai Dishan, Bai Yushuang, Wang Zixuan, and Yuan Qiansheng are all good, with Bai Yushuang possessing the best talent, and Yuan Qiansheng is also quite special. However, none of them can compare to Song Mingyue.

As for Gao Wu, he was quite unique. Even several martial arts masters couldn't quite figure out this young man.

An Ziru announced the top sixteen teams, and only these sixteen teams will advance to the semi-finals.

All other eliminated teams received spectator access, and all related expenses were covered by the organizing committee.

These are all outstanding young talents from the Northern State. Letting them watch the highest level of combat among their peers live will greatly benefit their growth.

Each team was naturally willing to stay and watch the game. For most young martial artists, this kind of opportunity only comes once every three years, making it extremely precious.

Observers from various universities in Ankyo will be present to watch the games. If you can gain the favor of a professor during this opportunity, you can receive a direct invitation to a university. There are many opportunities in this process.

In conclusion, the Kirin Cup is by no means a simple competition for middle school students. Rather, it is a comprehensive selection process by Ankyo High School for the most promising young talents from Hokuju.

The contestants returned to Qilin Tower by bus, while Gao Wu, Shen An, Song Yunzhen, and others went directly to the headquarters of the Supervisory Department in Minggang District.

Given the magnitude of this incident, the organizing committee and all relevant security personnel must be subject to investigation and questioning by the supervisory department.

Gao Wu stood on the top-floor corridor of the headquarters building, looking out the window at the water transport terminal several miles away, where gantry cranes were constantly loading and unloading cargo, appearing quite busy. Ming Port was Anjing's largest inland river cargo terminal, hence the district's name.

The Ministry of Supervision building is located in Minggang District; he wondered what the significance was. He could see clearly when he entered that the Guard Regiment camp was right next to the Ministry of Supervision.

The entire supervisory department is self-contained, much like a large, closed community.

It's said that most of the Special Operations Team of the Inspection Department also works here. This is an operation team led by martial arts masters, and its members are at least high-level martial artists. They are an important force in protecting the order of Anjing.

With the addition of the Public Security Bureau, the military forces guarding Ankyo, and semi-official forces like the Hunter Association, they are more than capable of managing the large number of martial artists in Ankyo and maintaining local order.

Gao Wu wasn't planning to do anything bad; he was just considering moving the old man to Anjing.

The situation is getting increasingly chaotic, but Anjing should be able to guarantee basic safety. He might not be able to afford a house, but with the money he has, renting a comfortable place shouldn't be a problem...

Seeing Gao Wu gazing thoughtfully out the window, Shen An comforted him, "It's alright, it's just a formality."

"I feel more at ease following you, sir. Haha..." Gao Wu smiled and casually flattered Shen An.

He wasn't just praising him randomly; Shen An really took good care of him, and it was clear that this martial arts master appreciated him quite a bit.

Just as Shen An was about to speak with Gao Wu, he saw a fair-skinned middle-aged man come out of the room. He took two steps forward and said politely, "Minister Zhang, are you handling this matter personally?"

The fair-skinned man, named Zhang Yunyi, wore glasses and appeared refined, but he was actually a martial arts master. Furthermore, he was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Supervision, a position of great power and influence.

Shen An had met Zhang Yunyi twice, and he knew that this smiling, polite guy was a deep and formidable person.

In fact, he had never liked dealing with people in the surveillance system. These people looked at everyone with a censoring air about them, their eyes practically piercing into people's brains.

This is probably the alienation that work brings to people, turning everyone into this kind of person.

Zhang Yunyi was also very polite to Shen An. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shen An introduced Gao Wu to Zhang Yunyi, saying, "Gao Wu is the one who stopped the demon god's followers' conspiracy and made a great contribution."

He added earnestly, "Gao Wu is still a child, so please take good care of him, Minister Zhang."

"It's just routine. Don't worry, Chairman Shen."

Zhang Yunyi smiled and agreed. He then turned to Gao Wu and said, "Young man, come with me. We'll go inside and make a statement."

The office is simply furnished with just a set of desk and chairs, cameras and microphones on both sides, and a large one-way glass panel on one wall.

Judging from the layout, this is actually an interrogation room. However, Zhang Yunyi was polite and did not use any coercive measures, which was much better than the treatment he received at the Public Security Bureau last time.

Zhang Yunyi adjusted the camera on the table, smiled at Gao Wu, and said, "Don't be nervous, just be careful not to lie. Everything here will be recorded, and there are lie detectors."

"If the lie detector alarm is triggered, things will get a bit complicated."

Gao Wu nodded: "I understand."

"Please recount the events in detail," Zhang Yunyi said.

As requested, Gao Wu recounted what had happened that night again. Zhang Yunyi interrupted Gao Wu from time to time, asking about certain details.

"You noticed something was off about the aura?" Zhang Yunyi asked. "How did you notice?"

"Telepathy," Gao Wu replied honestly and sincerely.

Zhang Yunyi didn't make things difficult for Gao Wu. He nodded and asked, "How did you kill those two demon god followers?"

“Spiritual power.” Gao Wu felt that this was a bit too broad, so he thought for a moment and added, “I can establish a spiritual resonance with my sword, and I can fly through the air on my sword.”

Judging from the signs of the battle at the scene, anyone could see that there were no traces of his. He had no reason to hide this fact.

Of course, describing the Yin spirits as spiritual forces is by no means a lie.

His supernatural powers originate from the Book of Immeasurable Merit, and his supernatural powers are the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra and the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, but they are manifested as Yin Gods controlling swords.

The matter here is complicated; he himself doesn't say it, so no one can guess the origin of his supernatural powers.

Zhang Yunyi asked a few more questions about the details. He stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with Gao Wu: "This time, thanks to your courageous act, you stopped the conspiracy of the demon god's followers."

"This is a very important matter, and we need to go through a process. I hope you can understand."

"We citizens have an obligation to cooperate with the authorities. This is what I should do," Gao Wu said earnestly.

Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but smile; this kid was really interesting.

As a martial arts master, he could easily perceive the subtle changes in Gao Wu's body. With the help of a lie detector, no problem could escape his eyes.

He could tell that Gao Wu wasn't lying, but his tone was somewhat exaggerated.

Zhang Yunyi was very polite to the key contributor to the case, personally seeing him off at the door. He chatted with Shen An for a few more minutes before watching Shen An and Gao Wu leave in the elevator.

Inside the elevator, Shen An said to Gao Wu, "The headquarters has approved it. Your B2 reward points will be transferred to your account soon. You can see them when you log in to your intranet account tomorrow..."

"Thank you, Uncle Shen."

Gao Wu was overjoyed and automatically became more intimate in his address. Shen An had treated him very well, and calling him Chairman Shen would be too formal; calling him Uncle Shen wouldn't hurt him.
