Gu Yue's Martial Soul, Elementalist

Xie Xie dodged swiftly. The small fireball grazed past his face, scorching several strands of his hair.

The moment his toes touched the ground, he sprang back, widening the distance between himself and Gu Yue.

When he looked at Gu Yue again, his expression had turned grave.

What exactly was this girl's background? She gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Wu Zhangkong frowned as he looked at Gu Yue. Even with his experience, he had been unable to tell what Gu Yue's martial soul was. After taking a brief rest, Xie Xie charged out again.

If he defeated Gu Yue, he would not have to run in the morning.

Running was exhausting, and it was easy to get a stitch in his side. It was awful.

As he charged forward, the yellow soul ring around Gu Yue flashed.

Xie Xie rushed toward her. When he was still five meters away, his Hundred-Year Soul Ring flashed.

The Light Dragon Dagger slashed out, sending a blade of light shooting toward Gu Yue.

This was his First Soul Skill, Light Dragon Blade.

As the yellow light blade flew through the air, it let out a faint dragon roar, its radiance growing stronger.

When it was less than a meter away from Gu Yue, it twisted in midair and suddenly changed direction.

Seeing this, Long Yuan frowned. Xie Xie was incredibly fast, and this soul skill was powerful as well.

Ordinary people truly would not be able to withstand it.

He just did not know whether Gu Yue could block it.

Azure light flashed across Gu Yue's delicate body, and an azure beam struck the Light Dragon Blade with perfect precision.

The azure light blade was instantly shattered by the Light Dragon Blade.

At the same time, Gu Yue dodged the Light Dragon Blade's attack.

After a brief pause, the two attacked again.

Gu Yue raised both hands at once, launching Ice Cones and fireballs at Xie Xie without pause.

Xie Xie reacted quickly. The Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger danced through the air.

He had used his Twin Martial Souls.

Every strike accurately hit Gu Yue's attacks, completely destroying their force.

Standing to the side, Long Yuan frowned. In that brief exchange just now, Gu Yue had already displayed four different abilities.

They were ice, fire, earth, and wind.

What she had displayed included all kinds of control and offensive skills.

At this moment, Wu Zhangkong, who stood beside him, also showed an astonished expression from time to time.

Boom! A white ball of light suddenly appeared in Gu Yue's hand and exploded directly in front of Xie Xie.

Xie Xie instantly saw nothing but a flash of white before him.

Xie Xie's expression turned extremely ugly as he prepared to attack again.

"Enough. We'll stop here!"

Wu Zhangkong's voice rang out in time.

It took more than ten seconds for Xie Xie's vision to return to normal. His eyes were red, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

The white light just now had irritated his eyes.

He looked as though he had been beaten to tears, and his expression was incomparably ugly.

"You win."

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Gu Yue, a trace of approval appearing on his face.

"Teacher, I haven't lost!"

Xie Xie said indignantly. His eyes had only been irritated by that white light just now.

He could still keep fighting.

"You haven't lost? Then why are you crying? You've been beaten to tears, yet you still say you haven't lost!"

Long Yuan chuckled as he looked at Xie Xie.

Even if this guy kept fighting, he would not be Gu Yue's match.

Gu Yue's ability was Element Control, and he could use Element Control as well.

Naturally, he knew how formidable Element Control was.

"A loss is a loss. When you were wildly swinging your daggers just now, she was already behind you.

If she had attacked you, you would not only be shedding tears—you would be shedding blood!"

Hearing Wu Zhangkong's words, Xie Xie nearly spat blood.

It was one thing for Long Yuan to say that about him, but even this cold and aloof teacher had said it.

He really hadn't cried because he'd been beaten. Well, this was great—he might get laughed at now.

"Teacher, can I enroll now?"

Gu Yue looked at Wu Zhangkong, a hint of hope shining in her beautiful eyes.

"You can, but first, you need to tell me where you came from and exactly what your martial soul is."

From the beginning of the fight to its end, Wu Zhangkong had been watching Gu Yue closely.

Yet even now, he had failed to discern what Gu Yue's martial soul was. It felt very strange.

Gu Yue took a letter from her robes.

"This is my recommendation letter from the Primary Academy. My martial soul is Elementalist, and my current Soul Power is rank fifteen!"

"Elementalist?"

Wu Zhangkong considered himself highly knowledgeable, yet this was the first time he had heard of such a martial soul.

Over the course of the battle, Gu Yue had displayed six elemental abilities: ice, fire, earth, wind, light, and space.

Among martial souls, possessing even a single element already made one top-tier.

Let alone six elements—it was simply unimaginable.

"Although I can control six elements, my Soul Rings cannot be added to any one of them. So, while I can control changes in the elements, it's difficult for me to make them stronger."

Seeing the confusion on Wu Zhangkong's face, Gu Yue did not hide anything and explained.

"I see!"

A look of realization appeared on Wu Zhangkong's face, but he soon furrowed his brow again.

Long Yuan saw this.

Clearly, Wu Zhangkong was only pretending to understand everything. In truth, he was still completely baffled.

This reminded him of Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang—pretending to know what he did not, knowing only half of it yet claiming there was no martial soul theory he did not understand, calling himself a master.

It was truly nauseating.

From now on, he hoped Teacher Wu Zhangkong would keep a lower profile when appropriate and stop calling them trash all the time.

And stop acting so lofty and cold.

A teacher ought to be approachable.

"Alright, I understand. From now on, you are a member of our class—First Grade Class Five!"

After a brief moment of thought, Wu Zhangkong agreed to let Gu Yue join Class Five.

One person capable of wielding six elements had limitless potential.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Gu Yue replied with a sweet smile. Then, at Wu Zhangkong's request, she began running with everyone else.

"Xie Xie, what are you still standing around for? Go run!"

Everyone else had gone running, but Xie Xie remained where he was. Wu Zhangkong shot him a glare.

"Teacher, don't we not have to run after fighting?"

Xie Xie immediately pulled a long face. He had to run again? This was exhausting!

"Did you win?"

Wu Zhangkong's voice was icy as an overwhelming aura bore down on Xie Xie.

"I-I'll go run!"

Xie Xie jumped in fright and hurried off to run.

If he did not start running, Wu Zhangkong might just beat him up.

As they ran, Gu Yue moved up beside Long Yuan. Seeing the equipment on him, she asked curiously, "Why are you wearing iron chains?"

"Running with weights is very beneficial for physical training."

Long Yuan gave a simple answer. This had been Wu Zhangkong's requirement. He and Xie Xie were going to take part in the Class Advancement Tournament, so they needed to improve their physiques as quickly as possible.

While everyone was running, Wu Zhangkong had already left. He now appeared outside the Academic Affairs Office.

After thinking briefly, he knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Long Hengxu's voice rang out. The door creaked open, and Wu Zhangkong walked inside.

Naturally, he was there to handle Gu Yue's enrollment procedures.

Not long afterward, he had finished and returned to the Training Field, calling everyone together.

"Gu Yue, your enrollment procedures have been completed. After dinner, you, Long Yuan, and Xie Xie—the three of you—come to my office!"

After saying that, Wu Zhangkong waved a hand to dismiss them and left.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin felt somewhat frustrated.

Although his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had changed, and after repeated verification—as well as a dream one night in which an old man told him that the Martial Soul he had awakened was actually the top-tier Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul—

his Soul Power was still too weak. Relying solely on the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, he still could not defeat someone like Xie Xie.

Just because he had not used his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Wu Zhangkong had failed to take notice of him. The thought left him deeply puzzled.
