If the previous long saber lacked a sense of vitality, then the current one seemed to have truly come alive.
Actually, Ren Yu didn't know swordsmanship, let alone saber techniques. He simply chose the long saber because it was more convenient for him to swing.

The countdown continued.
What Ren Yu didn't know was that every move he made in the training pod was being automatically broadcast outside by the system.
In other words, at least several thousand people were currently watching him, observing Ren Yu's every next move.
"Who is that guy? He's going to fight the Honkai Emperor one-on-one?"
A female student covered her mouth and pointed at the projection screen floating in the sky, saying incredulously.
"Isn't this a girls' school? When did we get a male student?"
At this moment, Kiana also recognized the person on the screen.
It was that Teacher from earlier!
Although she was a little surprised, she relaxed when she thought of the "achievements" in Ren Yu's resume.
However, could he do it without a Stigmata or special equipment?
Even her father had to rely on the Divine Key 'Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment' to display his powerful strength.
Kiana was very curious about what methods this Teacher would use to deal with the Honkai Emperor next.
Meanwhile, in another area, the Valkyrie training facility, Zone B.
Inside the swordsmanship training ground.
"Senior Mei, something's wrong, something terrible has happened!"
The girl, who had tied her black hair into a ponytail and was wielding a katana, stopped her movements as she continuously slashed at a robot.
She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and turned to look at her junior who was running towards her, asking in confusion.
"What's wrong? What terrible thing has happened?"
"In Zone A, someone is challenging the Honkai Emperor!"
The messenger girl bent over, supporting herself with her knees, and replied breathlessly.
"What does it have to do with us if they challenge the Honkai Emperor?"
Mei frowned. Just as she was about to reprimand this student who wasn't focusing on her duties, she suddenly heard: "That, that person isn't wearing Valkyrie armor. He's going to fight the Honkai Emperor one-on-one with just a standard long saber. He, he's even broadcasting it live!"
Mei froze.
Was that true?
"Oh, Senior, hurry up and go take a look. That person might be a master swordsman. Aren't you curious at all?"
The girl anxiously tugged at Mei's training uniform.
Without armor, challenging the Honkai Emperor with just a saber – anyone who could do this was an absolute master among masters!
Such an exciting battle was a great opportunity to observe others' fighting styles. How could they, who used swords, miss it?
Mei pursed her lips, a conflicted expression on her face. She was indeed piqued with curiosity.
"Has it started yet?"
"Has what started yet?"
Mei patiently explained, "I mean, has that Teacher's battle started yet?"
She had already guessed the challenger's identity.
—Anyone who could challenge the Honkai Emperor must be a teacher.
But she hadn't heard of any sword master of this caliber in the academy.
Was he new?
"No," the female student shook her head.
"How much longer until it starts?"
"Twenty, twenty seconds?"
The girl thought for a moment and gave Mei a conservative estimate.
"..."
Mei turned and ran.
"Hey, Senior, you haven't changed into your training uniform yet..."
Her junior shouted after her.
But Mei didn't even turn her head.
The "North Star One Sword Style" she learned was passed down from her ancestor, Beichen Mei.
While this sword style was quite effective against humanoid enemies, it was helpless against large Honkai Beasts.
Therefore, Mei was also very troubled when dealing with large Honkai Beasts, and she couldn't find a good method.
And at this moment, someone was actually using a sword to challenge a large Honkai Beast one-on-one, completely piquing her curiosity.
—What kind of sword style could deal with large Honkai Beasts?
Training Ground, Area A.
