He did not expect Guhan's first opponent to be Bright Moon. He did not expect this careless girl to be able to make it to the top 120 of the Famed Sword-level players. She was one of the top 128 Famed Sword-level players. Guhan could not help but sigh.
"Ladies and gentlemen!
From the looks of it, Mister Admiral and the one being challenged are actually friends. This is really too interesting! "
The host placed the microphone next to Guhan's mouth. "Mr. Military Governor, may I ask if this beautiful sword wielder is your friend?"
Guhan looked at Bright Moon. Bright Moon nodded. Guhan then replied, "That's right. This is my good friend. We have fought together before!"
"Oh!
Then may I ask this beautiful lady, is what Mr. Military Governor said true?
May I ask what your in-game name is? "The host asked Bright Moon.
"That's right. My name is Bright Moon of the Past. I'm a good friend of the admiral. I've wanted to compete with the admiral for a long time, but I've never had the chance. I didn't think I'd be so lucky to meet you at such an important occasion!"
"Oh!
Since you are a good friend of the Military Governor, I have a very important question to ask you. Will you hold back because of your friendship with the Military Governor?
Hmm, it seems like everyone has bought lottery tickets for the Challenger League!
This is a very important matter! "
Although the host's words seemed to be very unintentional, a portion of the audience became nervous. They had all bet on the admiral not advancing to the top 64. If it was because Ming Yue had gone easy on him, then wouldn't they have lost very unjustly?
Suddenly, everyone stared at Bright Moon, waiting for her answer. There were already people posting on the forum, asking for a different opponent for the Military Governor. However, there were very few people who did this.
However, most players would rather Bright Moon go easy on him. They had bet on the Military Governor advancing to a higher level. They could not wait for Bright Moon to go easy on him.
"Absolutely not!"
Back then, Bright Moon said resolutely, "I will definitely use all of my strength to fight against the Military Governor. This is how I respect my good friend!"
"Sigh, Miss Mingyue, although I agree with what you said, as half a judge, I have to ask you one more thing. Why should I believe you just because of what you said?" The host continued to ask.
"If my words can't be relied on, then what about the reputation of Yaoguang Sword Sect?"
Ming Yue clenches her teeth and says, "I am Yaoguang's biological sister. Even if I let a drop of water slip, it would be a disgrace to Yaoguang Sword Sect!
From now on, our Yaoguang Sword Faction will no longer be a sword faction. Is that alright? "
"… Just kidding … Just kidding … There's no need to get so worked up!"
The host wiped the sweat off his forehead. As there was no rule that the challenged should be replaced just because the challenged was a friend of the challenger, the host had no choice but to allow the match to continue since Bright Moon herself did not agree to it.
In the end, the host asked Bright Moon for the reward of 5,000 quarks of Sword Essence Oral Solution. The match had officially begun!
…
"Sunset Sword, come out!"
Back then, Bright Moon was probably the person who understood Guhan the most in the game and was not Guhan's friend in real life. She knew Guhan's real name and that the temporary commander who led Yuzhang City to victory was Guhan. Therefore, she was the one who was most guarded against Guhan. Once Sunset Sword was released, she went into a defensive stance and stared at Guhan's every move. She did not dare to slack off for even a minute.
However, after waiting for almost a minute, Gu Han still did not make a move. This made Bright Moon of that year a little angry, and she said, "Admiral, are you looking down on me, Bright Moon of that year?"
"You shouldn't have agreed to my challenge!"
Guhan smiled bitterly. "You know my strength. You will lose, and I will win. Why waste those 5,000 quarks of Sword Essence?"
"Commander, you're underestimating me too much. Could it be that I, Bright Moon, would care about those 5,000 quarks of sword essence?"
Bright Moon said sternly. "Military Governor, you've never really fought with me. If you think I'm your friend, then show me your true strength and fight me. Otherwise, you don't deserve to be my friend!"
"I understand. I've underestimated you!"
Military Governor nodded. "Since you're my friend, I'll fight you with all my strength. Only then will I be worthy of being called a friend!"
After saying that, Guhan took out a longsword from his dimensional pocket. As soon as the sword appeared, the audience was instantly in an uproar.
"F * ck me. How did this sword come out of a dimensional pocket?
I remember the Military Governor already had two scabbards on him! "a player asked in confusion.
"Idiot. This means that this is the Military Governor's third Swordmistress. Moreover, this sword's appearance is different from the Heavenly Sword and the Qingpin Sword. This is a brand new Swordmistress. This is a Famed Swordmistress. When did the Military Governor become a Famed Swordmistress?" A player jumped up from his chair in shock.
"Wait a minute. Why does this Swordmistress look so familiar?
I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember! "another player said.
In an instant, the entire forum was abuzz with discussion. Everyone was discussing how the Military Governor had suddenly become a Famed Swordmistress.
He was clearly a Treasured Swordmistress yesterday!
The host was also dumbfounded. He immediately contacted the game officials and received a reply from them.
"Dear players, according to the officials' confirmation, Mr. Military Governor completed the synchronization this morning and became a Famed Swordmistress.
His actions are completely in line with the rules of the Challenge Tournament.
As for the specifics, the officials are still researching it. Players, please wait a moment. The Challenge Tournament will be temporarily suspended until the officials' final decision is made! "
After the host hurriedly said that, the competition was temporarily suspended. After posing for a minute, Bright Moon of That Year could only helplessly walk to the side of the Military Governor and sit down. She grumbled in dissatisfaction, "B * stard. You're such a b * stard. Why do you have to come up with all sorts of tricks when it comes to you?"
"It's all your fault. You told me to show my true strength. Otherwise, I would be looking down on you. So, I had no choice but to take out the Yue King Goujian Sword. I didn't plan to use it in a Famed Swordmistress battle. I just knew this would happen," Guhan said with a bitter smile.
"Strange. Why do I feel like you've changed a lot?
In the past, you would never say so many words in a single sentence, and you would never speak to me in such a joking tone. Why do I feel like you're not the Military Governor of the past? "Bright Moon of That Year's intuition was terrifying. She could sense that Guhan was different from before with just one sentence.
"I've changed!
Too many things have happened during this period of time, and people have changed along with it. I think this is quite good. "Gu Han smiled.
"I think it's good too. You've become more human!"
Bright Moon of That Year suddenly lowered her head and hesitated for a moment. "I suddenly remembered something. I remember hearing Steel Centipede say that you were with the Yue King Goujian Sword in the King Arthur's Betrayal Instance Dungeon. I think you even summoned the Yue King Goujian Sword. You should have been a Famed Swordmistress. Why did you participate in the competition from the Treasured Swords group?"
"…" Gu Han's body stiffened. He suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake. Back then, in the "King Arthur's Betrayal" dungeon, he had used the King of Yue's Goujian Sword as his weapon because he was poor. It seemed like he had even allowed the King of Yue's Sword Maiden Body to appear. These were all seen by his teammates who had fought with him.
However, because of the battle in Yuzhang City, Guhan had become a lot more busy. In addition, he was still a Treasured Swordsman when he registered, so he was naturally assigned to the Treasured Swords group. He had completely forgotten that the Yue King Goujian Sword had appeared in front of Steel Centipede and the others.
If this matter were to spread, how would he explain the Yue King Goujian Sword?
For a moment, Guhan fell into deep thought. When Bright Moon saw that Guhan was silent again, she could only pout her lips to express her dissatisfaction.
…
At the same time, there was a storm on the forum. The players were divided into two factions. One faction supported the Military Governor. They believed that the Military Governor's actions were within the rules. It was just that there were some loopholes in his methods. They couldn't deny the Military Governor just like that. They should let the Military Governor fight normally.
The other faction believed that the Military Governor was cheating. Since ancient times, the previous 19 champions of the Treasured Swords group had used Sword Ladies to complete the challenge. The Military Governor had used a Famed Sword Lady. This was cheating. This was a battle between Famed Swordsmen. How could this be considered a challenge?
How could it be fair?
Even if the Military Governor used a Sword Lady to win first place in the Famed Swords group, he was still worlds apart from Gu Jin Jiandi.
Moreover, from this point of view, the Military Governor's character had a very serious problem. He was a scum and should be severely punished. They suggested that the officials strip the Military Governor of his right to participate and expel him from the competition!
The two factions on the forum were arguing fiercely. At the same time, in the game management office, the four core Special Grade Game Planners were also arguing fiercely over this matter.
These four Special Grade Game Planners were the most important people in the game apart from Tomono Kakaze. They decided major events in the game, such as this year's new Instance Dungeon Tree Collection.
However, they usually didn't deal with these small issues.
However, because of the heated argument on the forum, the players would riot if they made a wrong decision. The four Special Grade Game Planners had no choice but to gather together to discuss a final decision.
However, unexpectedly, these four special-grade planners actually started arguing, just like on the forum.
Two of the Special Grade Game Planners felt that the rules were as such. At most, they could amend the rules in the future. However, they had to abide by the rules now. Otherwise, the fairness of the game would be gone.
The other two special-class planners believed that it was precisely because there was no fairness to speak of, that they had to pull out this unfair thing.
However, they didn't say that they wanted to strip the Military Governor of his right to participate in the competition. Instead, they wanted the Military Governor to give up on using the Famed Sword Lady. That way, the competition could return to normal.
The two sides argued for more than ten rounds, but they couldn't convince the other side. In the end, they had no choice but to use their ultimate method and ask the fifth person to make the final decision.
This fifth person was naturally the person with the highest authority in the game, Tomono Kakaze!
