Yun Qingshang was unconscious for an unknown period before she groggily woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt something was wrong. The place she was in was very cramped and dim, damp and cold. The room's arrangement and furnishings were unusually simple.
The key was that the room kept swaying and rocking, making her feel very insecure.
"This is on the ship..."
Yun Qingshang immediately realized. Although she had never been on a real ship, she had experienced it many times in virtual reality training. She was not unfamiliar with ships.
"You're awake."
Gao Xuan, sitting idly in the corner, immediately noticed Yun Qingshang's movements.
He leaned over to Yun Qingshang and shoved a nutritional supplement into her mouth: "Eat something, then continue to sleep. It will be a few days before we reach land."
Yun Qingshang didn't think too much about it. As long as Gao Xuan was by her side, she wouldn't have to be afraid even if they were in hell.
She obediently ate ten high-concentration nutritional supplements. Her body's needs were sufficiently replenished, and she uncontrollably fell back into sleep.
"Sleep peacefully, dear, everything is with me..."
Gao Xuan sighed as he spoke: "It's a pity I don't have the proper identity to go online. I've been enduring in this desolate place for more than ten days."
There are communication satellites all over the sky above Pegasus Star, and Celestial Net signal covers the entire planet.
However, Gao Xuan did not have the proper identity to log into Celestial Net. Suddenly logging on would definitely leave many digital traces.
If an issue arises afterward, it's inevitable that it will be traced back to him.
The cramped lower deck cabin was extremely dull, and with no one to talk to, Gao Xuan could only endure silently.
Gao Xuan hadn't been truly idle these past ten days on the ship.
Using this leisure time, he organized what he had learned and established a database for himself.
In a few years, with advances in Light Computer technology and increasingly advanced artificial intelligence, it will be possible to conduct in-depth and detailed observations of the human body. Humans will also become accustomed to using Light Brain Chips to manage themselves.
Everything from thoughts to the body can be analyzed and expressed with data, which is what is known as the true data age.
Gao Xuan didn't have such advanced Light Brain Chips, nor would he install such things in his brain.
The foundation of so-called datafication is to thoroughly and minutely analyze oneself.
Just like a person going to the hospital for a physical examination, through various equipment and instruments, one would obtain data from various aspects.
Blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, and other data which make up the datafication of the body.
The instruments used for examinations have their limits, and many data points cannot be quantified, such as emotional state and intelligence, among others.
The Six-winged Celestial Cicada is an apex Golden Marvel, surpassing all scientific instruments and advanced Light Computers.
In the entire cosmos, the Six-winged Celestial Cicada is the entity that understands Gao Xuan the most.
Through the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, Gao Xuan can perceive his body and spirit and then express it in the simplest data form.
Name: Gao Xuan.
Age: 18 years old.
Gender: Male.
Height: 188.88888 cm.
Weight: 100000,00013 grams.
Constitution: 13 (standard for a healthy 20-year-old adult male is 10)
Spirit: 28
Power: 12
Agility: 15
Source Power Level: Level 3 (Black Iron)
Aurora Swordsmanship: Level 5 (Gold)
Flying Swallow Dual Blade Technique: Level 5 (Gold)
Six-winged Celestial Cicada: Golden Level Marvel (Bronze)
Godslaying Sword: Golden Level Marvel (Bronze)
Crow Double Blades: Titanium Steel Products.
Crossbow Pistol: Premium Handgun.
...
These data all stem from Gao Xuan's data-driven analysis of himself.
Among these, spirit, constitution, agility, and power are quantified based on the standard data of a healthy 20-year-old male.
The human body is complex and intricate, with Source Power, superpowers, body, and spirit all interacting. So Gao Xuan's power and agility data are ordinary, even inferior to Yun Qingshang.
Only the spiritual value stands out, reaching 28 points.
This spiritual power surpasses that of ordinary Golden Powerhouses.
Gao Xuan, before his rebirth, was the fearsome King of Assassins: Celestial Cicada.
Among many Golden Powerhouses, Gao Xuan may not be the strongest. However, he was universally acknowledged as number one in spiritual sensitivity.
He was known for killing but never being traced.
Such powerful spiritual power is the foundation of Gao Xuan's mastery of the Godslaying Sword.
Therefore, killing Xu Hui and Zhou Lang is as easy as killing a chicken for Gao Xuan. As for the others, there's no need to elaborate.
Due to Source Power and other external factors, Pegasus Star's highest level is Source Power Level 10, equivalent to Bronze Peak Level.
With the Godslaying Sword in hand, Gao Xuan can fight against anyone as long as they are not a tenth-level powerhouse.
Like the two guys outside the door, they're completely courting death.
On this smuggling ship, there are naturally no good people. Although Gao Xuan paid a large fee for the smuggling, a few sailors wanted to kill him and take all his wealth.
However, in the past ten days, Gao Xuan never left his room and didn't eat any of the food they delivered.
A group of people have not found a good opportunity.
They have tested him a few times and found that Gao Xuan's eyes might have an issue. The key is Yun Qingshang looks pretty but remains unconscious. They don't know the situation.
Yun Qingshang's beauty further provokes the malice of these people.
Seeing that they will enter the inner sea in two days, where there will be more ships, it will be inconvenient to act. A few guys couldn't resist wanting to go hard.
The two sailors were cautious; they exchanged glances at the door and quietly drew their guns.
Gao Xuan, who always closed his eyes, seemed strange to them. Particularly Gao Xuan's handsome appearance, which exceeded human limits.
Such a person must be handled carefully.
However, two pistols should be enough to deal with a blind man.
The short sailor whispered to the tall sailor, "I'll knock on the door first. When he opens it, shoot him, but try not to kill him. Such a handsome man could sell for quite a bit of money!"
The tall one nodded vigorously.
The short sailor knocked twice on the door, but there was no response from inside.
The short sailor was puzzled and pressed his ear against the door to listen inside.
A flash of crimson light, and a blade as red as blood suddenly pierced out from the short sailor's ear.
His head was impaled by the blade, and the short sailor did not have a chance to react, dying instantly.
The tall sailor looked shocked, caught off guard, and still hadn't figured out what happened.
The crimson blade flashed again, piercing through the tall sailor's forehead.
With a burst of blood light, the two sailors dissolved into a mass of blood light.
Gao Xuan pushed the door open and sneered contemptuously, "I was feeling a bit hesitant to kill and silence you, but since you came knocking, I won't be polite."
Escaping from Beikun Base is not the end but the beginning.
The Blood God Association's influence spans the Milky Way Galaxy, vast and immense. Although Beikun Base is just a small branch, the deaths of Zhou Lang and Xu Hui will undoubtedly catch the Blood God's attention.
Gao Xuan is well aware that as long as he and Yun Qingshang reveal any trace, they will face endless pursuit from the Blood God Association.
Luckily, Beikun Base is a fully closed base. All students' personal data is stored in the base's Light Computer.
Because the host Xu Yan has issues, this data has not been submitted.
As long as he cleans up all traces, the Blood God Association will not discover him and Yun Qingshang.
When choosing the smuggling ship, Gao Xuan immediately spotted the captain's fierce appearance: he was a member of the Spirit Race.
The Spirit Race is a very special life form, resembling a mass of condensed green light without a physical body. The Spirit Race can only parasitize other life forms.
The parasitic Spirit Race will continually erode the spirit of other lives, eventually occupying the host completely.
When humans entered the Star River Era, they inevitably came into contact with the Spirit Race. The Spirit Race successfully infiltrated among humans to multiply and thrive.
Humans whose bodies were occupied by the Spirit Race still retained human knowledge and memory, but their fundamental thinking was entirely changed.
The existence of the Spirit Race fundamentally undermined human unity and the foundation of human society, directly leading to human defeat and destruction in the Galactic Wars.
It can be said that the Spirit Race is the mortal enemy of humanity, and coexistence is impossible.
With Spiritual sensitivity of the First Six-winged Celestial Cicada, Gao Xuan is most sensitive to the aura of the Spirit Race. He can immediately identify the Spirit Race with close contact.
In his view, the Spirit Race must be exterminated.
Gao Xuan initially planned to wait two more days, but with the other party initiating action, he won't be polite.
Gao Xuan casually closed the door and headed upwards with the Godslaying Sword.
This smuggling ship is small, with only a dozen sailors plus a captain. It's mainly for smuggling, trafficking in various contraband.
Smuggling is only their side job.
The endless sea is boring, and with the task to deal with Gao Xuan, a group of sailors excitedly gathered in the cockpit, chatting with the captain.
"That kid is damn good looking. In my opinion, better than his sister!"
"No matter how good he looks, he's still a man. I want to play with his sister."
"You don't know shit."
Despite being filthy and smelly, the sailors became energetic and excited discussing these matters.
Some savvy individuals tried to show their understanding by saying: "Is there any rule?"
The captain is a bald-headed, ruddy-faced big man, wearing a vested jacket with bare arms. Sitting there, he appeared hefty and imposing.
He wore a stern face, "Why haven't the tall guys come back yet? Go check with a few more people, don't let any damn thing happen..."
"No need to check, something's happened."
Gao Xuan answered from outside the door, then pushed open the cockpit door.
Gao Xuan slightly bowed his head, with long bangs covering his sunglasses. He held a sophisticated and elegant crimson sheathed longsword.
Mystery, danger, and a touch of indescribable eeriness.
Although these sailors have seen a lot, seeing Gao Xuan suddenly left them bewildered.
Without waiting for the sailors to react, the sharp blood-red blade light shone like a rainbow curtain, instantly enveloping the entire cockpit.
