Special Training, Gu Yue's Invitation

After dinner, Long Yuan, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie appeared in Wu Zhangkong's office.

Without even asking the three to sit, Wu Zhangkong led them to one of the school's training grounds.

The training ground was circular, with a Soul Guide Shield protecting its interior. It was a place for students with higher cultivation to train their martial souls.

"Starting today, you will follow me for special training every night. Work hard for the Class Advancement Tournament three months from now!"

Previously, Wu Zhangkong had said that he would only send two people to participate in the Class Advancement Tournament.

Now that Gu Yue had arrived and displayed decent talent, he decided to train all three of them first.

When the time came, he would assess their strength and make the final decision on whether to send two or all three of them.

"Teacher, what are we training for? It won't be physical training again, will it?"

Xie Xie had been traumatized by physical training. It was boring and painful.

"Of course not. No matter what kind of training it is, there is only one purpose: to increase your strength.

"All strength comes from actual combat. Therefore, your special training will consist solely of actual combat."

At the words "actual combat," Xie Xie glanced at Gu Yue and Long Yuan, excitement appearing on his face.

Actual combat was great. He had previously lost to Long Yuan, then lost to Gu Yue as well.

He would defeat both of them through his own efforts.

Afterward, Wu Zhangkong analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the three based on their martial souls and gave them targeted guidance.

"Alright, begin the actual combat. The three of you, come at me together. Your opponent is me!"

After explaining a few points to keep in mind, Wu Zhangkong walked to the center of the training platform. Facing the three of them, he made a gesture inviting them to attack.

"What?"

Xie Xie cried out in shock, while Long Yuan and Gu Yue were equally dumbfounded.

Wu Zhangkong was very strong. Even if the three of them attacked together, they could not possibly be his match.

Weren't they just asking to be beaten up?

"I won't use the power of my martial soul or any Soul Skills. Just attack without holding back."

As he spoke, light flickered in Wu Zhangkong's hand, and a wooden sword appeared in his palm.

"Begin!"

The moment the words fell, the wooden sword stabbed directly toward Xie Xie.

Xie Xie's eyes widened. It was already coming at him? He had not even gotten ready yet.

Boom! Long Yuan immediately released his White Dragon Martial Soul and Soul Ring, and a small Water Dragon Spirit appeared on his shoulder.

With a wave of his right hand, streams of mist appeared around his body, waiting to move according to his will.

In an instant, all the mist gathered together and transformed into a massive Mystic Frost Giant Dragon.

Mystic Ice Dragon Flight soared through the air, attacking Wu Zhangkong from behind.

Three against one naturally required coordination.

Wu Zhangkong had attacked Xie Xie first, so Long Yuan naturally had to attack from behind.

At that moment, Wu Zhangkong's weakness was his back.

Seeing that Long Yuan could actually wield the Water Element, Gu Yue froze for a moment.

Why could Long Yuan wield the Water Element?

Moreover, the aura Long Yuan was releasing at that moment felt very familiar to her, as though she had encountered it before.

Bang! When the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon blasted toward Wu Zhangkong's back, Wu Zhangkong had already sensed it.

His body flashed, and the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon missed, slamming into the Soul Tool Shield with a violent impact.

The shield shook as if it were about to break.

Taking advantage of Wu Zhangkong's distraction, Xie Xie quickly evaded and released his martial soul and Soul Skill.

With the Light Dragon Dagger in hand, he charged from another direction and slashed at Wu Zhangkong.

After her brief moment of stunned silence, Gu Yue moved as well.

With a wave of her slender hand, several Ice Cones shot out, blasting toward Wu Zhangkong from multiple directions.

Wu Zhangkong remained calm. When Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger slashed toward him, he flicked his wrist, and the wooden sword lightly tapped against it, blocking Xie Xie's attack.

He then changed direction again, precisely striking the Ice Cones Gu Yue had launched and effortlessly shattering them one by one.

At that moment, Long Yuan controlled a pool of water and sent it into the ground, spreading it toward Wu Zhangkong.

The previously dry training ground was instantly soaked.

The ground beneath Wu Zhangkong's feet was instantly wet, as though he were standing in a pool.

Water splashed whenever he moved.

At the instant the water splashed, the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped. The splashing water and the water beneath Wu Zhangkong's feet instantly froze, transforming into Ice Cones.

Under Long Yuan's control, they shot in from all directions with sharp whooshes, aiming to kill Wu Zhangkong.

Seeing this, Wu Zhangkong frowned. This was the first time he had seen Long Yuan use this ability.

He had not expected this kid's Water Element Control to be so extraordinary as well.

Even now, he had not truly figured out what Long Yuan's soul skill actually was.

His martial soul was clearly the White Dragon Martial Soul, so why did he possess Water Element Control?

Shouldn't soul skills be related to strength? But Wu Zhangkong clearly had little time to think about that now.

Long Yuan's current attack was the hardest to deal with. The wooden sword in Wu Zhangkong's hand swiftly slashed out.

His body spun rapidly in place, blocking the incoming Ice Cones from every direction.

Although the Ice Cones attacked from all sides, Wu Zhangkong dealt with them calmly and effortlessly.

With every swing of his sword, he accurately knocked away one or two Ice Cones.

Boom! A fireball suddenly appeared in Gu Yue's hand and flew toward Wu Zhangkong.

Since Long Yuan was using Ice Cones, she would use fireballs.

She would let Wu Zhangkong have a taste of ice and fire striking from both sides.

Moreover, his sword was made of wood. Burning it with fire should have the best effect.

However, after the wooden sword blocked all the Ice Cones, a strange current of air swirled around it.

Gu Yue's fireball suddenly lost control, changing direction and flying toward Xie Xie instead.

"Holy shit!"

Xie Xie was startled by the sudden fireball. The Light Dragon Dagger in his hand slashed out at once, destroying it.

His body curled slightly in midair before he continued charging toward Wu Zhangkong.

The Light Dragon Dagger swung, and an invisible blade aura swept out, stabbing forward.

Three fireballs flew out at the right moment, while the Ice Cones waited for an opening.

Long Yuan, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue began working together at that moment.

Strictly speaking, Gu Yue was coordinating with Long Yuan and Xie Xie.

She could control six elements. The instant Long Yuan and Xie Xie unleashed their soul skills, she perfectly used the appropriate elemental attacks.

Three against one, and the battle quickly reached a fever pitch.

Crack!

At one point, Wu Zhangkong's wooden sword was soaked by Long Yuan using water elements, then swiftly frozen.

Gu Yue seized the moment and threw out another fireball.

Under the alternating attacks of ice and fire, the wooden sword finally snapped.

"Stop!"

After swiftly breaking out of the three's encirclement, Wu Zhangkong called out at the right moment.

"Mm, your performance today was pretty good. All three of you will compete in the Class Advancement Tournament."

"That's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow!"

As Wu Zhangkong spoke, he turned and led the three of them out of the training grounds.

"Remember, this concerns the outcome of the Class Advancement Tournament. From now on, I hope all of you make full use of your strengths. Don't hold anything back!"

After saying that, Wu Zhangkong glanced at Long Yuan and continued:

"I'm a little curious. Your martial soul is clearly the White Dragon Martial Soul, so why is your First Soul Skill Water Element Control? Shouldn't it be related to strength?"

Wu Zhangkong finally voiced his doubt.

"I do have attack methods related to strength. Teacher will see them another day!"

Long Yuan said with a chuckle.

They might still spar with Wu Zhangkong in the future. When that time came, he would catch him off guard.

"Good!"

With that, Wu Zhangkong left.

"Long Yuan, I need to talk to you about something. Can we take a walk?"

Just as Long Yuan was preparing to return to the dormitory with Xie Xie, Gu Yue came to his side and invited him.
