Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

The captain nodded. That's right, it's the Star Sword Saint. Only those who have a certain level of understanding of swords can turn everything around them into a sword. Therefore, Qin Yu's strength is likely on the same level as the Star Sword Saint.

"Then I'll get serious too."

To be honest, the captain wasn't qualified to fight against an opponent of the Star Sword Saint's level, so he cherished this opportunity to recognize his own shortcomings.

He thought he was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect to meet such a capable person, and he immediately became interested.

The captain charged forward with his gun, creating afterimages in an attempt to confuse Qin Yu, but Qin Yu didn't even notice his movements.

"Slash through the air!"

Wow!

A domineering sword aura swept across, knocking the captain's true form and afterimage to the ground. Qin Yu did not kill him.

Xingyu was still in surprise. The battle was decided so quickly. That was amazing! Qin Yu only seemed to have used two moves, right?

"Thank you for your kind words." Qin Yu said politely after the fight, and the captain responded respectfully.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, I must go now. If you really want to find him an opponent, Star Sword Saint would be happy to do so."

After leaving those words, the captain departed, and Xingyu went over and patted Qin Yu on the shoulder.

"That's amazing! Can you teach me?"

Seeing Qin Yu's fighting style, Xingyu also wanted to learn swordsmanship.

"If you have the talent, I can teach you."

Qin Yu's implication was that it wouldn't work because Xingyu lacked the talent in that area.

"The Star Sword Saint said the same thing as you..."

Xingyu had tried to become an apprentice of the Starry Sky Sword Saint before, but unfortunately, the Saint didn't want to take him on. He had no talent and was a prince, which would only cause him a lot of trouble.

"If there's nothing else, let me continue to rest. I have a competition tomorrow, don't I?"

"Don't go!"

Xingyu wanted to keep Qin Yu, but Qin Yu had already left.

The next day, when the royal family was selecting guards, Xingyu had no choice but to drag Qin Yu to the competition venue.

The other four princes and princesses have arrived, as have the contestants; only Xingyu and Qin Yu are absent.

"There are still three minutes left. If they haven't arrived by then, let's start right away. Anyway, Fifth Brother doesn't need any guards."

Xingyu will be leaving the Star Realm at the end of the month, so guards are really of no concern to him.

"What on earth is Xingyu up to?" The Fourth Princess wanted to see what kind of guards Xingyu had found for her, but neither of them had arrived yet. This was really disrespectful to the competition.

You took it seriously, didn't you?

With one minute left, Xingyu finally arrived with Qin Yu. Xingyu was panting heavily, while Qin Yu looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

"I'm sorry, brothers and sisters..."

Xingyu hadn't originally intended to come at such a tight time, but Qin Yu was too lazy to come, so he dragged him over himself.

"Xingyu! What are you doing!" The Fourth Princess scolded Xingyu again. Xingyu really had grievances but couldn't explain himself, after all, he was a repeat offender.

When Qin Yu came back to his senses and saw the princes and princesses, his expression showed a hint of surprise.

Am I dreaming?

The princes were fine, but the two princesses were the real problem. Qin Yu had just thought he was seeing things.

The silver-white long-haired goddess resembles Bai Yueya, while the silver-white twin-tailed goddess who is lecturing Xingyu resembles Luna.

"No way……"

Qin Yu's feelings were somewhat complicated, and his gaze fell on the second princess who looked remarkably like Bai Yueya.

The second princess also noticed Qin Yu, her eyes filled with doubt. Did this guy know her?

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's begin."

The selection of guards was simple: those who volunteered were screened, and those recommended by the princes and princesses themselves were selected to form a roster.

Whoever wins can choose which prince or princess to protect, while the loser can only be chosen by the prince or princess, or the prince or princess can choose neither.

"Xingyu, is this person you brought reliable?" Fourth Princess Xingna asked Qin Yu, hands on her hips. He was alright looking, but he couldn't be weak. After all, guards weren't there to do nothing; they had to protect the royal family members at all times, even at the cost of their own lives.

"Fourth Sister, don't let his appearance fool you. He's incredibly powerful. Yesterday, I had the captain of the palace guards spar with him, and guess what happened?"

"He won?"

"Ah."

"That's nothing special, I can do it too."

"This is different; he defeated the captain in just two moves..."

Xingyu thought his fourth sister was hallucinating. Although she was indeed powerful, even the captain didn't dare to fight her at full strength...

Chapter 419 The Choice of Changing One's Mind

Upon hearing that the enemy could be defeated in two moves, the Fourth Princess Hoshina wavered slightly.

"Then you should be a little bit better than me." But she remained stubborn.

Xingyu said with a hint of helplessness, "The captain said that if we really have to find him an opponent, it has to be someone at least on par with the Star Sword Saint..."

"what?"

Upon hearing "Star Sword Saint," Xing Nai truly realized the problem. Qin Yu's strength was comparable to that of the Star Sword Saint. Was this not an exaggeration by the captain?

"You'll see how powerful he is later, Fourth Sister."

Xingyu said mysteriously.

The competition began, and among the five princes and princesses, only the eldest prince and the fifth prince recommended their own candidates, so these two unsurprisingly became the top contenders.

Qin Yu observed the contestant recommended by the eldest prince, whose strength was around the ninth level. The eldest prince himself was about the same level. So far, the only person Qin Yu had seen who was stronger was the referee who was presiding over the competition.

This elderly man, who looked quite old but whose strength was actually world-class, was the most powerful person Qin Yu had met since arriving in the Star Realm.

The contestant had already set his sights on Qin Yu. As the person chosen by the First Prince to participate in the competition, he also represented the First Prince's reputation to some extent. If he lost to Qin Yu, the First Prince would lose face, because it would mean that the First Prince had lost to the Fifth Prince in terms of his judgment of people.

Xingyu certainly wouldn't care about such things, since he's no longer a contender for the throne. But the eldest prince cares a lot; he's now the first in line to the throne, and any misstep could affect Emperor Xingchen's opinion of him, which would be troublesome.

"start!"

After the referee's announcement, the contestants began their battle, while Qin Yu watched them fight with boredom.

"Hello..."

Xingyu tried to have a long-distance conversation with Qin Yu from a distance.

Qin Yu pulled out a whiteboard from somewhere and wrote on it: "Shut up."

Seeing the above content, Xingyu smiled helplessly. The fourth princess Xingna next to him laughed. It seemed that this guy was quite interesting. Although Xingyu was not a proper prince, no one would disrespect him like this.

It was finally Qin Yu's turn to face off against another seeded player from the preliminary rounds.

While the fighting was still going on over there, Qin Yu had already finished his battle. Opponents of this caliber were really not that interesting.

The referee then realized what had happened and declared Qin Yu the winner.

What just happened?

No one else saw how Qin Yu's opponent fell. The battle ended so quickly. Qin Yu doesn't seem to have any permanent weapons, does he?

On the other side, the person chosen by the eldest prince had also defeated his opponent, and he was very curious about how Qin Yu had won.

We'll find out when the two of them face off later.

The eldest prince's face turned almost green at the sight; it looked like he was in trouble. He gave a look that indicated the person he had chosen had to win.

That person gave the eldest prince a reassuring look.

After a short break, it was the two's turn to fight. The referee, seeing that Qin Yu was still unarmed, asked, "Don't you need a weapon?"

"If I'm lucky, I won't need to." Qin Yu just wanted to end the competition as soon as possible; he still had questions for the two princesses.

"Hmph, arrogant words."

There will be a price to pay!

The opponent's weapon was a large cleaver. After the referee announced the start of the battle, he launched a fierce offensive, intending to suppress Qin Yu and end the battle from the very beginning. His idea was good.

However, after his first attack missed and was blocked by Qin Yu, he lost the chance to attack again. The invisible sword energy repelled him, and then Qin Yu swung his sword again, sending him flying.

"You flatter me."

The referee, witnessing Qin Yu's full move, was both surprised by Qin Yu's strength and declared Qin Yu the winner.

To everyone's surprise, the person chosen by the Fifth Prince won in the end, leaving the First Prince with no choice but to leave in resentment.

The third prince also shook his head and left; there was no point in staying any longer.

"Fourth Sister, see? I told you Qin Yu is amazing!" Xingyu excitedly boasted to Xingnai.

"Okay, okay, then I'll reluctantly accept it."

On the surface, Hoshina acted as if she didn't care, but inside she was overjoyed. This was a combat power that had been delivered right to her doorstep.

The winner can choose the royal family member he wants to serve. Now there are only three royal family members left on the field, and Qin Yu basically has to choose from these three.

Xingyu was pointing frantically at his fourth sister, while Xingnai put on a very reserved look, trying to show that she didn't care.

The Second Princess's expression remained unchanged, showing no fluctuations.

Qin Yu had already thought it through; if he had to choose, he would definitely choose the Second Princess.

For no other reason than that the Second Princess resembled Bai Yueya, so he wanted to learn more about her.

"What?!" Xingna glared angrily at Xingyu beside her. What happened to the promise that it was for her? Why did that guy suddenly choose her second sister?

"Fourth sister, I don't know what happened either..." Xingyu hurriedly waved his hand, trying to distance himself from the situation. Qin Yu had really gotten him into a mess.

It's one thing for Fourth Sister to hate him to death, since he's going to leave the Star Realm anyway. If he hates Qin Yu, then if he really wants to live in the Star Realm, he'll have to be on guard against Fourth Sister's revenge at all times.

The second princess stared at Qin Yu, never expecting to snag such a bargain right there. However, Qin Yu's gaze was indeed strange, as if he were looking at someone familiar.
