Yao Guang Sword Sect, one of the emerging powerful sword sects in "Sword Maiden Online," was founded less than ten years ago. Under the leadership of its sect leader, Yao Guang, it has grown steadily and recently successfully reclaimed the entire Chicago area, ranking among the top ten sword sects.
Yao Guang is the sect leader of Yao Guang Sword Sect and the spiritual pillar of the entire sect. In the game, Yao Guang is already a top-tier Spirit Sword holder, just one step away from becoming a Celestial Sword master. In reality, Yao Guang is also a rare Famous Sword holder, ranking seventh in the latest "True Famous Sword List."
More importantly, Yao Guang is very young, only 36 years old. The six sword holders ranked above him in the "True Famous Sword List" are all over 45 years old. Therefore, Yao Guang is hailed by the world as the strongest of the younger generation and a potential candidate for the future Heavenly Sword.
Yao Guang places great importance on his personal strength. Even though he has established a sect, he often fights in various high-level dungeons and quests to train. Yao Guang rarely appears in the Yao Guang Hall of the Yao Guang Sword Sect unless there is a major event.
However, this time, the entire Yao Guang Sword Sect was calm, yet Yao Guang suddenly appeared in the Yao Guang Hall.
"Tiexuan, have you found the information I asked you to look for?" Behind Yao Guang was a person named Tiexuan, his trusted assistant and the head of the intelligence department of the Yao Guang Sword Sect.
"Master, we have only found a little information. The SSS-ranked player who passed the initial dungeon has blocked all friend requests and rarely leaves his sword tomb, making it very difficult to gather information," Tiexuan said helplessly, as some things cannot be achieved through effort alone.
"You have worked hard!" Yao Guang did not blame the intelligence department. "Tell me all the information you have found."
"Yes, according to our investigation, this player's in-game name is Admiral, male, and he has appeared in the base city twice since entering the game, both times in Yuzhang City. From this, we can infer that his sword tomb is likely bound to Yuzhang City."
"When he first appeared, he stayed at the KFC Grand Hotel in Yuzhang City for a long time. The second time, he directly teleported to the Wanhua Sword Sect's territory, Weihai City, and then left the city, disappearing near the Gold Coast."
"Weihai City? Gold Coast?" Yao Guang pondered for a moment. "I remember going there over ten years ago to complete the 'Zhenyuan Garrison Task.' So, this Admiral is likely going to complete the same task."
"Yes, according to our analysis, there is a 70% chance that Admiral is going to complete the 'Zhenyuan Garrison Task.'"
"Truly impressive!" Yao Guang showed admiration. "Even I only had the opportunity to participate in the task in my second year of playing. I never thought this kid would go to the 'Zhenyuan Garrison' on the second day of entering the game. I am increasingly convinced that it is necessary to have a face-to-face talk with him. The person we are looking for in the Yao Guang Sword Sect might be him."
"Master, with all due respect, I do not think the Yao Guang Sword Sect needs him. This Admiral is only going on a task, and whether he will succeed is still uncertain. Moreover, it is the 'Zhenyuan Garrison Task.' According to our records, the success rate of the 'Zhenyuan Garrison Task' is less than 5%. I believe he will most likely fail."
"I have a feeling he will succeed! Even though I failed back then," Yao Guang smiled. "Tiexuan, how about we make a bet? If Admiral succeeds, you will personally invite him to the Yao Guang Sword Sect. If he fails, I will never ask about him again. What do you think?"
"Since Master is interested, Tiexuan will naturally accompany you to the end," Tiexuan immediately agreed. "However, Master, there is another piece of information I am unsure whether to share."
"Unsure whether to share!" Yao Guang was taken aback. "Is it about Mingyue?"
"Yes, Miss Mingyue spent a large sum of money at the auction house to buy a task book..." Tiexuan hesitated.
"You don't mean to tell me that Mingyue bought the 'Zhenyuan Garrison Task' book?" Yao Guang's face twitched.
"Master is wise, that is exactly the case," Tiexuan, seeing that the master had already guessed, felt relieved and spilled everything. "Miss Mingyue bought the 'Zhenyuan Garrison Task' book and spent a long time at the KFC Grand Hotel two days ago. Therefore, our intelligence department believes that Admiral is likely to have been recruited by Miss Mingyue."
"The world is truly full of surprises!" Yao Guang shook his head helplessly. "I never thought he would be recruited by Mingyue. Since that's the case, we won't make any moves. I dare not compete with Mingyue for her people."
"Then, Master, should we cancel our bet?"
"Why cancel it? Even if we don't recruit him, having a face-to-face talk would still be interesting," Yao Guang stood up and left the hall. "Besides, I am very curious about how he obtained the SSS rating. This has been a thorn in my side for over ten years! Hahaha."

Gu Han and the others were unaware that a powerful force in the game world had already taken notice of them. At that moment, they were still engaged in a fierce battle with Kong Jia.
As Gu Han had said, Kong Jia's artillery barrage required a considerable amount of time to reload. Shui Fu, following Mingyue's orders, once again approached Kong Jia and quickly attacked the ship equipment on her back.
However, Kong Jia was not without the ability to counterattack. Although her main guns could not be used, she still had the 152mm secondary guns on her hands. Although their power was much less than the main guns, they could still cause a loss of about 200 shield energy when hitting Shui Fu.
Fortunately, Shui Fu's movements were agile enough, and Kong Jia's aim was somewhat lacking. After more than twenty seconds of continuous attacks, Shui Fu was only hit once.
"Time's up, let Shui Fu disengage and enter stealth mode," Gu Han kept track of the time in his mind. When Kong Jia's main guns had ten seconds left to reload, Gu Han immediately ordered Mingyue to have Shui Fu disengage.
Shui Fu took 60 points of life from Kong Jia and then quickly disengaged, preparing to enter stealth mode.
"Spilled my red tea and want to run away!" Kong Jia's large eyes widened, and the two secondary guns in her hands fired simultaneously, the shells directly targeting Shui Fu's back. This time, Kong Jia's aim was good, and the trajectory of the shells was right where Shui Fu would reappear, making it seem inevitable that she would be hit.
If this shot hit, the loss of 200 energy would be a minor issue, but the key was that Shui Fu would not be able to hide before Kong Jia's next barrage. If hit by the main guns again, Shui Fu's situation would become very dire.
"Red Blood Demon Fog!" At the critical moment, An Ning's sword maiden, Red Blood Demon, arrived on the battlefield. Her sword tip flicked, and a blood fog spewed out, enveloping Shui Fu.
This blood fog was not ordinary fog but was formed from An Ning's sword energy, capable of slowing down attacks. The shells fired by Kong Jia were slowed down by the blood fog, reducing their speed by more than half. Due to the reduced speed, the shells grazed past Shui Fu's body.
"You two, where did you come from, and why are you blocking Kong Jia!" Seeing her shells blocked by the two unexpected arrivals, Kong Jia was very angry. However, she did not realize that these two newcomers were on Shui Fu's side.
"You two, quickly get out of Kong Jia's way, or Kong Jia's main guns will hit you, and you will die!" Kong Jia, not realizing that the three sword maidens were a team, kindly warned An Ning and Red Blood Demon not to be accidentally injured.
"Haha, Kong Jia's main guns are ready. That annoying woman who spilled Kong Jia's red tea, just like Hood... Come out, let me show you the power of Kong Jia's 356mm guns!!" Kong Jia wanted to immediately retaliate against Shui Fu, but she was puzzled because the woman had suddenly disappeared, and she did not know where she had gone.
Zhen Shan and Red Blood Demon exchanged a glance, raised their swords, and charged at Kong Jia, who was looking around for Shui Fu.
"You two, why are you attacking Kong Jia!" Kong Jia, hit by a sword on each side, asked in confusion.
Zhen Shan and Red Blood Demon ignored Kong Jia's question and continued to attack her vital points.
"I understand! You are a team!" After being hit by four or five swords, Kong Jia finally realized... This Kong Jia... is really cute in her naivety!
