After failing to secure aid from the Xianzhou, he immediately returned home to participate in the fight against the Antimatter Legion and eventually died.
Oliver hadn't expected to encounter someone from Jarilo-VI even within Jingliu's script.
Naturally, he was also instantly defeated by one sword strike.
After Igorhaft lost, he shouted to everyone, warning them to be cautious of the Antimatter Legion and requesting aid for Jarilo-VI.
Suddenly, a figure appeared before him.
It was none other than the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, whom everyone was praising—the powerful woman's master.
"Igorhaft, does the Antimatter Legion on Jarilo-VI have a Lord Ravager behind it?"
Oliver asked.
He actually just wanted to know if the Lord Ravager Celenova was present.
Celenova always covered its face; if he met it, he absolutely had to see what it looked like.
Igorhaft was stunned, not expecting the other party to actively speak to him.
He shook his head: "I don't know, sir. I only know that the Legion's numbers are vast. Are you willing to support my home?"
Oliver readily agreed.
The content of the script would affect some reality.
What if saving Jarilo-VI this time could prevent the real Jarilo-VI from suffering its historical disaster, allowing its civilization to recover?
Of course, this wasn't absolute, and Oliver was just trying it out.
After all, dealing with the Antimatter Legion was like child's play.
If he was lucky enough to encounter Celenova, that would be even better. In the script, nothing he did to her would be excessive, right?
"Let's go, I will save your homeland."
With that, Oliver grabbed Igor and threw him directly.
He remembered Jarilo-VI's coordinates very clearly, not even needing Igor to lead the way.
The two instantly vanished, drawing gasps of surprise from the audience.
"It's Jingliu's master personally making a move; Jarilo-VI is saved!"
"Is it that absolute?"
"Kid, you're still young. You don't know the Reach Heaven Agent; that's a reputation earned through bloodshed."
After a long while,
Oliver returned alone.
"Sigh, she wasn't there."
He didn't find Celenova, so he just casually wiped out the Antimatter Legion and left gracefully.
He returned just in time for Jingliu and Jing Yuan's decisive battle.
Jingliu's entrance was as imposing as ever.
Most of the audience were already Jingliu's fans.
"The defending swordsman is so young, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it!"
"Based on Jingliu's previous achievements, it should be another one-sword victory."
"Who knows, maybe this Xianzhou Luofu swordsman is also very powerful?"
Amidst the audience's discussions,
Jingliu and Jing Yuan made their moves.
To everyone's surprise, Jing Yuan didn't lose in one sword strike?!
He even exchanged blows evenly with Jingliu?
Jingliu's acting was superb; she truly left no discernible flaws.
After all, she had been paid, so she couldn't be perfunctory.
"Oh my goodness, I didn't expect this! The Xianzhou Luofu's defending swordsman has some skill; no wonder he's the finale!"
"Jing Yuan, is his name Jing Yuan? To be able to last this long under Green Lotus Sword Immortal Jingliu, he's a genius!"
"The Xianzhou Luofu is incredible, with such a genius, its future is promising."
"I see in Jing Yuan the makings of a General!"
"It's been three hundred rounds! To last three hundred rounds, it seems Jing Yuan is invincible among his peers!"
"Yes, who else could last this long under Jingliu? Only Jing Yuan."
The audience all began to praise Jing Yuan's awesomeness.
No one even considered the possibility of a fixed match.
After all, the prestige of the Reach Heaven Agent and the Xianzhou Luofu General was there; they wouldn't fix a match in front of so many people, would they?
Of course, they wouldn't fix the match; they just went easy.
This was exactly the outcome Teng Xiao wanted.
His face was practically splitting with a smile.
Looking at it this way, not only was the Xianzhou Luofu's face saved, but Jing Yuan was also crowned with the title of a genius swordsman.
Finally, at the four-hundredth round, Jingliu stopped acting.
She defeated Jing Yuan with a single sword strike.
Seeing this, the audience let out a collective sigh of regret.
"Alas, what a pity. If he trained a few more years, he should be able to win."
"Just by lasting four hundred rounds under Jingliu's sword, Jing Yuan is worthy of the title of genius; that's enough."
With that, the Martial Arts Ceremony concluded.
The ultimate victor was Jingliu.
The audience cheered Jingliu's name, further elevating the Reach Heaven Agent's prestige.
In the viewing stands on the other side,
a young man with dragon horns on his head quietly watched all of Jingliu's matches.
"Lord Dragon Elder, do you wish to watch more?"
A maidservant beside him stepped forward to ask.
The young man replied, "No more, go find General Teng Xiao."
This young man was named Dan Feng.
He was the current Dragon Elder of the Xianzhou Luofu's Vidyadhara.
A genius of the Vidyadhara, he was given high hopes to restore their immortal glory.
Seeing Jingliu's imposing presence and swordsmanship, a competitive spirit arose within him, wanting to see who was stronger.
It was mainly the imposing presence.
Dan Feng saw how domineering Jingliu was every time she appeared and finally realized where he was lacking.
His own entrances were too ordinary!
Moreover, Jingliu had to fight Jing Yuan for so long; even if she went easy, it couldn't be for four hundred rounds.
"An organization like the Reach Heaven Agent would surely not fix a match for money."
Dan Feng felt that people of the Green Lotus Sword Immortal's caliber should have their own principles and pursuits.
They wouldn't just go easy in front of thousands of people for external possessions, would they?
Thinking this, Dan Feng felt that he and Jingliu were a seven-three split... He decided to bypass Jingliu entirely and challenge her master, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, to a match.
"Please arrange it, General Teng Xiao. I want to meet Jingliu and her master."
Dan Feng spoke indifferently.
The maidservant beside him nodded in agreement and then went to find Teng Xiao to relay the message.
General's Mansion.
Oliver walked in, Bai Heng on his left, Jingliu on his right, and Yingxing following behind him.
As soon as he entered, he saw a figure from behind, with long flowing hair and dragon horns on his head.
He recognized him: the Vidyadhara Dragon Elder, Dan Feng.
"You're here. Let me introduce you. This is the Vidyadhara Dragon Elder, Dan Feng. He's the one who wanted to see you."
Teng Xiao, with a smile on his face, became Oliver's guide.
However, Dan Feng immediately spoke, "General Oliver, the world says your one sword can make an Immortal's Kneel. Today, I wish to test if your sword can make me kneel?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked at him as if he were an idiot.
It seemed he still didn't know about General Teng Xiao's sword test.
Even an Emanator knelt; could a Dragon Elder remain standing?
Oliver felt a slight sense of helplessness.
The High-Cloud Quintet; no wonder they could accomplish great things.
Each and every one of them was so audacious.
Teng Xiao pulled Dan Feng aside and whispered, "Don't challenge him. You can't beat him. Just give up. Challenging Jingliu would be fine."
Dan Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this. "If we cower before strength, how can our generation advance?"
His dignified demeanor was originally quite handsome.
But he had simply chosen the wrong target, making Dan Feng appear somewhat comical.
Oliver no longer wished to explain. No matter who you were, even if a Star God came personally, they would have to kneel to receive his one sword.
Let alone the little Lord Yingyue.
"As you wish."
Oliver casually drew a sword and lightly swung it.
Crack!
Dan Feng knelt.
He was full of disbelief: Why couldn't he even resist? Was the gap really that big?
"Again."
Crack!
"Again!"
Crack.
After kneeling twenty times, Dan Feng admitted defeat.
He was completely subdued by kneeling.
The usually arrogant genius, the Lord Yingyue of Xianzhou Luofu, rarely met an opponent.
Only the General could spar with him.
Now, he met an unreasonable Sword Immortal who forced his proud head down.
Dan Feng understood that he couldn't stick to old ways; he needed to seek a greater breakthrough to bring immortality back to the Vidyadhara.
And Oliver was the stepping stone for his progress.
Dan Feng lowered his head, lost in thought.
Everyone had long grown accustomed to it and didn't mock him excessively.
One could only say that Oliver was too formidable; anyone who came would have to kneel. Status, in this case, became irrelevant.
"Sir, I want to join the Reach Heaven Agent!"
Dan Feng suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Oliver, and uttered these words.
Teng Xiao was stunned.
You are the Lord Yingyue of my Xianzhou Luofu; you want to join the Azure City's faction?
