Cyberspace is the Virtual Divine Country, where human interactions can be simulated and various pleasures experienced.
However, Huo Fengwu was just making a gesture to show her regard for Gao Xuan. As a prominent beauty from the Huo Family, with many suitors, she had no need to offer herself voluntarily.
Gao Xuan joked around with Huo Fengwu, appreciating the trust she showed by offering him the Crimson Sun Golden Crystal for experintation.
Gao Xuan readily handed over the blueprint to Huo Fengwu, cautioning her: "Crafting a Third-Grade Spiritual Artifact requires imnse luck. My Demon-Sundering Arm Blade fits well with my Divine Soul, along with a bit of luck, which is why it succeeded. Achieving Third-Grade in a studio setting is nearly impossible…"
Studios have more and better refining equipnt, and superior skills. However, for a Third-Grade artifact, excellent technique alone isn't enough.
The key lies in the rune seed of the artifact, which must completely integrate with the Crimson Sun Golden Crystal. This requires a very high level of Divine Soul, sothing even Golden Core level practitioners struggle with.
Gao Xuan couldn't put it directly, so he just reminded Huo Fengwu not to have overly high expectations.
Huo Fengwu knew well that crafting a Third-Grade Spiritual Artifact is incredibly difficult. Still, crafting a Fourth-Grade artifact would be quite impressive. The blueprint is worth much more than a small piece of Crimson Sun Golden Crystal.
Huo Fengwu left excitedly, while Gao Xuan opened a training room in the cyberspace arena to test the real power of the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade.
The Demon-Sundering Arm Blade, upgraded by two grades, saw an increase in power by more than tenfold.
Its power now rivaled that of the Profound Nether Sword Shui Yunling once wielded.
Importantly, Shui Yunling only borrowed the Profound Nether Sword, using just fifty to sixty percent of its full power.
But in Gao Xuan's hands, the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade could exert one hundred and twenty percent of its power.
Of course, in terms of real quality, the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade was considerably inferior. After all, it was fundantally just a Sixth-Grade artifact. Even after two Divine Crystal modifications, it still fell short compared to the high-tier Profound Nether Sword.
Gao Xuan objectively acknowledged the significant gap between the two artifacts.
Yet, for him, the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade undoubtedly fit better, making it easier to wield.
With his current state, the Demon-Sundering Arm Blade could be fully unleashed for three strikes. With such high-tier artifacts, even one full-power strike could determine the outco.
If necessary, Gao Xuan felt he could perform overclocking. However, doing so would damage his Divine Soul and cause significant harm to the artifact itself.
Shui Yunlan, daring enough to lead an investigation team, surely had so abilities. It probably wouldn't co to the point where he had to risk his life.
Gao Xuan prepared in advance, just in case.
Two days later, Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan accompanied Shui Yunhao to the Inspection Headquarters, where they t Shui Yunlan.
Shui Yunlan had delicate features and lovely aqua-blue eyes; her voice was gentle and her deanor amiable. She was very courteous to both Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.
Shui Yunlan's team consisted of only three n and three won, all fairly young.
These team mbers held lower ranks than Shui Yunlan and showed her considerable respect.
From the first glance, Gao Xuan knew Shui Yunlan was no ordinary woman. She had a way of managing her peers effectively, indicating she had skills.
The interns this ti were Shui Yunhao, Gao Xuan, and Yuan Youyuan. Gao Xuan could tell Shui Yunhao specifically invited the two of them.
Given Shui Yunlan's status, she had no need to curry favor with them. She must have valued Gao Xuan's ability to pinpoint the Evil God.
Shui Yunlan exchanged polite words with Gao Xuan, then introduced everyone in the team.
The official investigators were quite curious about Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.
Shui Yunhao was Shui Yunlan's brother, making it reasonable she would bring him along to gain points. What was with bringing Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan?
Just hearing their nas, it was clear they weren't from the Central Star Realm. Especially the na Black Tiger wasn't a proper surna, suggesting a low-born background.
In the Central Star Realm, genuine low-born individuals were scarce.
After introductions, the team cast scrutinizing glances at Gao Xuan.
Particularly noteworthy was Jin Hongtao, whose disdain and contempt towards Gao Xuan were clear in his gaze.
The noble families stood high above, naturally possessing a strong sense of superiority over those from the lower class. This mindset developed over hundreds of years was ingrained in the noble youth.
Noble youth like Shui Yunlan and Shui Yunhao, capable of concealing their thoughts and attitudes, were rare.
Although the team refrained from overt expressions of any sentint, they instinctively kept a distance from Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan.
This irked Yuan Youyuan, but there was little she could say. She resorted to venting via the communication channel to Gao Xuan: "This group truly is snobbish..."
"All you noble youth are like this."
"Nonsense, I'm not like that…"
Shui Yunhao couldn't hear their conversation, but he noticed Yuan Youyuan's sour expression and quietly approached to explain: "The headquarters personnel are always like this, don't mind them. High and mighty by nature, but lack notable skills…"
With a grin, Shui Yunhao turned to Gao Xuan: "They don't realize you're the backbone of our operation."
Yuan Youyuan suddenly understood, "Are you planning to hunt Evil Gods?"
"The Sea Emperor Star is plagued by nurous rampaging Evil Gods. The most thorough solution is to eliminate them all."
"After all, eliminating Evil Gods is the best way to earn points."
Shui Yunhao casually remarked, before affectionately patting Gao Xuan's shoulder: "Since you excel in this area, you should certainly contribute."
Gao Xuan smiled without replying, aware that while they were using his abilities, he was also using their resources. It was essentially a business partnership, all the better now that everything was laid out plainly.
Shui Yunlan led the group to the Holy Hall's teleportation array, where twelve teleportation arrays were arranged in a circular formation.
