Chapter 293: Confrontation

Realizing that the swordsman might be a soldier, Wang Xiao immediately took out the [Identification Scroll] and tore it open.
[Undead Swordsman] [Platinum Level 7]
[Superpower]
[Legend has it that all the emotions and memories of the undead swordsmen wandering in the Netherworld Secret Realm have been sealed by death. Only exquisite sword techniques have been preserved. They are said to be invincible in the world!]
[Skill: Unknown]
Seeing this introduction, especially the word “unknown” in the skill column, Wang Xiao’s heart immediately skipped a beat.
The last time he saw this word was when he encountered the fake Wu Yan’s [Hellfire Spirit] in [Thorn Canyon].
Back then, the battle was extremely difficult. If not for the help of a level five lord like Tang Longji, Wang Xiao would probably have died 800 times!
After returning, Wang Xiao specially studied this “unknown” and learned that there were only two possibilities for this situation—
Either this soldier had never activated a skill, or everyone who had seen this skill was dead.
However, no matter what, it showed how powerful the soldier was, not to mention that this [Undead Swordsman] was at Platinum Level 8!
At the same time, in the city square outside the secret realm.
Seeing the participants of Yaoguang Academy open the teleportation gate, the audience immediately whispered. They did not understand how Yaoguang Academy dared to violate the rules so openly.
However, before everyone could come to a conclusion, they saw the purple light patterns on Lang Buli’s skin. Instantly, the audience exploded!
“Look! What’s that on his face?!”
“That pattern can even glow!”
“I’ve seen this light pattern before! This is the characteristic of a Purple Star lord when using energy!”
‘What?! Purple Star lord?!”
While the audience was in an uproar, the two commentators also revealed shocked expressions.
However, just as they were about to say something, Chen Jinrong suddenly said in a low voice, “This is a newly developed enhancement item.” The commentator was stunned. “Commander Chen, what did you say?” “I said that this is a newly developed enhancement item.”
Chen Jinrong repeated with a smile on his face, but his tone was exceptionally solemn. “The effect of this item is somewhat similar to the characteristics of the Purple Star lord, but this is only a newly developed enhancement item—understood?”
The commentator who spoke had a confused expression on his face. Another person asked in a low voice, “But when purple light patterns appear on the surface of one’s body when they use a large amount of energy… This is clearly a characteristic of the Purple Star humans!”
“If I say it’s an item, it’s an item.”
Chen Jinrong repeated again. The smile on his face had disappeared at some point. As his two sword-like eyebrows gently touched, the pressure of the commander-in-chief of the military region quietly emitted.
The expressions of the two commentators instantly tensed up. After exchanging glances, one of them laughed dryly and said, “I-I believe everyone has already discovered that purple light patterns that only Purple Star lords have appeared on the participants of the Yaoguang Academy!”
Another commentator hurriedly chimed in, “That’s right! But what’s going on? Could it be that the Purple Star lord has invaded?”
Hearing this, the audience immediately gasped.
However, before they could start to panic, the main commentator smiled. “I originally thought so too, but I just received Commander Chen’s confirmation that this is actually a newly developed enhancement item…”
“Ah… so that’s how it is!”
The two commentators echoed each other, but their voices were clearly filled with guilt. In their opinion, such words were as ridiculous as saying that the sun was cold!
However, they had clearly underestimated Chen Jinrong’s credibility among the commoners.
“Commander Chen, you’re really scary. Why didn’t you tell us earlier?! ”
“This must be a confidential military project. Who do you think you are? Why would he tell you?”
“I knew it! The lord competition was invaded by the Crimson Star, and now you’re telling me that the ranking assessment is also invaded by the Purple Star? How can there be such a coincidence?!”
When they first heard that this was an enhancement item, all the audience had doubtful expressions. However, when they heard that this was the result of being confirmed by Chen Jinrong, more than 90% of the audience immediately believed it on the spot!
It was not only the audience. Even the various Academy Heads in the opposite stands cupped their hands and congratulated the Academy Head of Yaoguang Academy. Some people also complained that he was disloyal and did not even share such an opportunity to help the military experiment.
However, the problem was that the Academy Head of Yaoguang Academy did not know what was going on either. However, in front of everyone, he could not deny that he had a deep relationship with the military, so he could only smile dryly and cup his hands repeatedly.
The only one who did not participate in all this was the Academy Head of the Kaiyang Academy, Qin Kaiyang.
He had participated in battles against the Purple Star people and had a deep impression of that special light pattern. In addition, Huang Tingwei had suddenly disappeared and Chen Jinrong had a faint worried expression on his face. All the details told him that something was wrong.
Looking at the beaming Chen Jinrong on the commentary platform, Qin Kaiyang slowly frowned. “Commander Chen… What are you hiding?”
Secret realm, ice mountain venue.
Just as Wang Xiao was thinking of a countermeasure, with the sound of footsteps on the snow, Turk and Lang Buli walked out from behind the teleportation door.
“You’re Wang Xiao, right?”
Turk looked at Wang Xiao and asked with a smile, his eyes vaguely sizing him up. “You’re thinner than in the photo. It seems that you’ve suffered a lot recently.”
“You’ve seen my picture?”
Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows, but on second thought, it was normal for the other party to have some investigations into the people after spending so much time and energy setting everything up.
Turk seemed to know that Wang Xiao had thought it through and simply did not answer. He placed his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed slightly. He smiled respectfully and said, “Nice to meet you. My name is Turk, and I’m the deputy captain of this special operations team.”
Seeing that Turk was so polite, Wang Xiao could not help but be stunned. “Wang Xiao, the lord of the Blue Planet.”
“I know.”
Turk smiled, then changed to a questioning tone. “May I ask what happened to
Brewer?”
Wang Xiao frowned. Before he could speak, Turk slapped his forehead regretfully. “Look at my memory. I forgot that you don’t know Brewer. He previously impersonated a lord of the Blue Planet called Wu Yan.”
“So it’s him!”
Wang Xiao’s pupils constricted, but he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. That fake Wu Yan was accomplices with the enemy in front of him, which meant that there were no other enemies here for the time being. At the very least, he would not fall into a situation of being attacked from both sides.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao paused for a moment and said, “He’s dead. I killed him.’
‘You?”
Turk burst out laughing. “You’re young, but you’re very humorous. How can a level three lord like you kill a level five lord?”
Wang Xiao did not explain and only looked at the other party with a faint smile.
Seeing this, the smile on Turk’s face gradually faded, and his tone became cold.. “Did you really kill him?”
