Qin Ken is a Golden Powerhouse. His hand gesture was very natural, but his speed was extremely fast.

Gao Xuan moved even faster. Before Qin Ken's hand reached him, he had already retracted his hand and clenched his fist, leaving Qin Ken's outstretched hand empty.

Both of them moved so quickly that a group of people around them didn't see the exchange. Even the live video failed to capture their moves.

Only a few Golden Powerhouses noticed something was wrong. Song Muyang frowned deeply. Why were Gao Xuan and Qin Ken having issues again? Wasn't Qin Ken quite considerate towards Gao Xuan?

Tifeng's old eyes flashed with cold light. He wished that Gao Xuan and Qin Ken would immediately fall out and fight, so he could directly kill Gao Xuan.

If the opportunity arose, he wouldn't mind taking out Qin Ken as well. This chairman of the organizing committee had really disgusted him.

In addition, Song Muyang and Qin Xuan had unexpectedly teamed up to oppress him. Tifeng secretly remembered these few people, and if he ever had the chance to get back at them, he wouldn't hesitate.

Unfortunately, the small conflict between Gao Xuan and Qin Ken was over quickly. They naturally stood together and talked, showing no intention to continue fighting.

Tifeng was a bit disappointed, but Song Muyang was relieved. As the host, Song Muyang certainly didn't want anything to go wrong in the finals.

Hodder being killed on the field was already a huge incident. However, now it seemed that Hodder's death added a legendary touch to this final.

Song Muyang thought this wasn't a bad thing, and it might make people remember this match. Just for this, Hodder's death wasn't in vain.

Qin Ken also hesitated due to the presence of many Golden Powerhouses. On the other hand, Gao Xuan's agility was beyond his expectations.

The Creation Golden Core couldn't withstand any trouble, so he didn't dare to make a move again.

Gao Xuan gave Qin Ken a slight smile: "Do you believe that if I close my hand like this, you'll only get the dregs of the Creation Golden Core?"

Qin Ken said steadily: "That way you get nothing, only the anger and hatred of the Golden Powerhouses."

"Chairman Qin, do you think the life of a Golden Powerhouse is precious, or is the honor of the Sword King more important?"

Gao Xuan was also very calm. Qin Ken didn't know how important the Sword King title was to him, but he knew how much Qin Ken needed the Creation Golden Core.

It's just that with unequal information, Qin Ken wasn't qualified to threaten him.

Gao Xuan's tone was calm, but his attitude was exceptionally firm. Qin Ken could fully sense Gao Xuan's strong determination.

If they couldn't reach an agreement, both would walk away with nothing, and no one would gain any advantage.

Just as Gao Xuan said, the title of Sword King was just an honor. Not obtaining it wouldn't be fatal for him. But the Creation Golden Core could cure his chronic illness, which was vital to his life.

Since Gao Xuan recognized this, he couldn't win this game.

Qin Ken was just giving it a try, and there was no harm if it failed. The cost of testing was very low. At most, he would incur Gao Xuan's resentment and hatred.

The problem is, what is Gao Xuan to him? No one cared about his preferences.

Qin Ken laughed again: "Just kidding, haha..."

"That wasn't funny at all."

Qin Ken didn't want to play anymore, but Gao Xuan wouldn't have it, "The deal is off. Goodbye."

Seeing Gao Xuan about to leave, Qin Ken got a little anxious. He hurried to block Gao Xuan: "Don't be impulsive, leaving like this won't be good for either of us."

Gao Xuan said expressionlessly, "I dared to kill Hodder, what could be bad for me."

Qin Ken was a bit at a loss for words. Indeed, Gao Xuan couldn't possibly not know about Tifeng or how powerful the Odin Family was, yet he still killed Hodder.

From this point, Gao Xuan seemed incredibly fearless, without regard for anything.

Qin Ken also regretted it a bit. He really shouldn't have tried these tricks with Gao Xuan. He cautiously made an apologetic smile and said: "Don't worry, as long as you give me the Creation Golden Core, I can ensure your safety on Taiwei Star."

"That's not sincere enough."

Gao Xuan shook his head slightly: "Nothing more to say, goodbye."

"No, no, no, whatever you want, we can negotiate."

Qin Ken realized the situation was out of control, so he stepped back, letting Gao make the conditions.

As long as he could get the Creation Golden Core, he could destroy Gao Xuan afterward. Whatever he gave could be taken back.

At this critical moment, the main thing was to pacify the boy.

He now deeply regretted trying to be clever earlier, resulting in trouble.

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said: "Bring a few Golden Marvels, and maybe my anger will subside."

Qin Ken's face changed slightly. Gao Xuan was really pushing it. Asking for a few Golden Marvels, he really dared to ask.

Golden Marvels were not cabbages. Even those without direct combat power still had special value.

Qin Ken suppressed his anger and said, "Gao Xuan, don't go too far. In the rush, where will I find Golden Marvels for you?"

"No Golden Marvels, you at least have money. Transfer a few hundred billion to me then."

Qin Ken was even angrier, but he raised his long eyebrows, swallowed the anger that had already reached his throat.

"I do have money, but I really can't come up with a few hundred billion. Besides, transferring such a large sum of money is not something I can just do..."

Such enormous funds would require layer upon layer of approval to transfer. It couldn't be easily transferred to Gao Xuan.

"You don't have this, you can't do that, you must be playing with me..."

Gao Xuan's face darkened, "I don't have time to play with you."

Qin Ken, having lived for hundreds of years, and having achieved Golden Powerhouse status, was respected by everyone, and had never been so taunted and insulted.

With his thick skin, he still had to take a long deep breath not to erupt on the spot.

Qin Ken tried to speak in a gentle voice: "The organizing committee has a special bonus that I can decide to give you, totaling over five billion."

Gao Xuan remained expressionless. Qin Ken could only add: "The organizing committee also has a Celestial Dragon Order, which is a Golden Marvel. It contains the swordsmanship insights of previous Sword Kings..."

"Let's leave it at that."

Gao Xuan saw that Qin Ken really couldn't come up with anything valuable, and he didn't have time to tangle with Qin Ken.

Whatever the prize is, be it the Celestial Dragon Order or something else, it doesn't hold much value for him. It's just better than nothing.

Qin Ken finally managed to persuade Gao Xuan and breathed a sigh of relief. If the kid had left the stage in anger, it would have been hard for him to wrap things up.

Then, Qin Ken publicly praised Gao Xuan and announced him as the Sword King of this year's grand finals.

The audience felt the title was truly deserved and there was no other possibility.

When Qin Ken awarded Gao Xuan the Golden Sword symbolizing the Sword King, a lively cheer erupted at the venue. Some female fans even fainted from excitement.

The atmosphere in the Arctic Hall also reached a climax.

Geniuses like Song Yunxi and Yuan Wuxian, all wore complex expressions. Some were jealous and envious, while others felt lost and unsatisfied.

Everyone had mixed feelings, but they respected Gao Xuan. In this year's finals, Gao Xuan reigned supreme, with no one able to challenge him.

On the Battle Net, a barrage of comments appeared, all shouting "Celebrate for our king!"

There were even fervent fans who claimed Gao Xuan was the strongest Sword King in centuries. This sentiment gained widespread support.

Qin Ken cooperated and publicly praised Gao Xuan as the best in centuries, providing the most spectacular finals for everyone.

To commend Gao Xuan's outstanding performance, the committee decided to award him a bonus and lend him the Celestial Dragon Order for a decade.

Qin Ken's generous reward for Gao Xuan also earned him numerous praises on the Battle Net.

Many people believed Qin Ken, as the committee chairman, had great vision in breaking through the limitations of noble bloodlines to give Gao Xuan the best reward.

Qin Ken also expressed regret for Hodder's death, saying that this was a real battle where Hodder contributed his passion and youth, and although the accident was regrettable, such fighting spirit was commendable!

Tifeng in the stands was disgusted, wondering how Qin Ken could be so insidious, turning Hodder's death into something that gave Gao Xuan credit.

Qin Ken didn't care what Tifeng thought; his goal now was to please Gao Xuan.

Sure enough, Gao Xuan nodded slightly at him, seemingly satisfied.

Qin Ken felt a bit disappointed that he didn't earn a glance of approval from Gao Xuan.

Then Qin Ken realized his mistake in taking Gao Xuan so seriously.

After Qin Ken finished speaking, it was Gao Xuan's turn to speak on stage.

Gao Xuan held the giant champion's trophy in one hand and the golden short sword representing the Sword King in the other.

"Standing here, I feel a bit excited; achieving these honors wasn't easy. Thank you to all my girlfriends; you make my life beautiful and romantic. Thank you to all my enemies; you make my life burn brightly..."

Gao Xuan's speech was broadcast throughout the Alliance via the Battle Net.

Pegasus Star, Yuanlong Company.

Wei Zhenzhen and Wei Yue, Xu Yin, Qingyi Fei Niao, Jiang Xuejun, and a group of women were all engrossed in watching Gao Xuan on the giant light screen.

At this moment, Gao Xuan shone brilliantly, more dazzling than a star.

Each woman had her own feelings about Gao Xuan, feelings they couldn't easily share with others.

At this moment, Wei Yue was fairly certain that Gao Xuan was Blood Shadow. All conditions matched perfectly.

Others couldn't make this judgment because they lacked understanding of Blood Shadow.

Wei Yue's feelings were complex, as this young man indeed had the ability to manipulate fate effortlessly.

Within a few short months, he had changed the Yuanlong Company and changed her life.

Comparing Gao Xuan's situation on Taurus Star, it was evident he was much more restrained on Pegasus Star.

Till today, Gao Xuan had become the Sword King, the strongest genius Sword Hero in the entire Alliance.

However, such a dazzling Gao Xuan made Wei Yue a bit uneasy.

On the vast stage of the Central Star Realm, Gao Xuan was too high-profile.

Wei Zhenzhen and Jiang Xuejun didn't think about it much, with excited smiles on their faces. They were happy and proud for Gao Xuan.

Qingyi Fei Niao's smile was the faintest, but her gaze was the most resolute. At this moment, Gao Xuan became her goal.

Taurus, Xiao Family's old residence.

Xiao Jun, Xiao Cheng, Xiao Wan, and Xiao Ting were all watching the live broadcast of the finals together.

Seeing the radiant Gao Xuan, Xiao Jun wore a deeply worried expression.

Xiao Cheng and Xiao Ting were the same, although Xiao Wan's reaction was slower, her face still full of pride and joy. After all, this was the man she chose.

Xiao Wan quickly noticed Xiao Jun's solemn expression and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Grandpa?"

Xiao Jun sighed deeply, "Gao Xuan is flying too high and too fast without roots. After killing Hodder, this could spell disaster..."

"Ah, what should we do then?" Xiao Wan was startled.

Xiao Jun shook his head; he couldn't help Gao Xuan with this matter. He needed to prepare in advance in case something happened to Gao Xuan, as it could implicate them.

Without Gao Xuan's suppression, other noble families might stir up trouble. If not handled properly, it could spell disaster for the Xiao Family.

Sea Emperor Star, Sea Emperor Palace.

Hercules was also watching the live broadcast of the finals with Helen.

When Gao Xuan spoke, Hercules couldn't help but sigh deeply. Gao Xuan really made a big stir this time.

He wasn't worried about Gao Xuan, as the young man was as deep as a sea and wouldn't corner himself.

Hercules was more worried about himself. Gao Xuan had registered for marriage as his son-in-law, causing much trouble. If Tifeng couldn't find Gao Xuan, he might come looking for him!

The very thought of it gave him a headache, and he wondered if it was still possible to draw a clear line between himself and Gao Xuan...
