A Battle Across Twenty Levels

Gu Yue Na's pretty little face showed little expression, remaining rather indifferent.

She felt no fear as she looked at the towering young man before her, who stood 1.8 meters tall and resembled an iron tower.

"Little sister Gu Yue Na, I know you're very strong and can defeat Soul Grand Masters."

"But there's no way you can beat a Soul Elder like me."

"You should just admit defeat. I really don't want to bully a child."

She Zonglong tried to persuade her. Seeing how pretty and petite Gu Yue Na was, he could not bear to fight her.

Gu Yue Na shook her head. Though she said nothing, her attitude was clear.

Have her admit defeat?

Though it was meant kindly, it was still an insult to her. The Silver Dragon Queen would never admit defeat.

"Prepare." The referee resisted the urge to scold She Zonglong and signaled for both sides to get ready.

Quite a few academy higher-ups had come to watch. If he really talked Gu Yue Na into conceding, what would that look like?

Gu Yue Na immediately released her Silver Dragon Queen Martial Soul, and elemental fluctuations surged violently around her.

She Zonglong also gave up on trying to persuade her and released his Martial Soul.

His Martial Soul was the Diamond Mammoth, a top-tier Defense Type Martial Soul.

As soon as his Martial Soul was released, the space around him visibly became heavier.

Diamonds emerged across the surface of his body, as though he had donned a suit of diamond armor.

His already larger-than-average body expanded to over two meters tall.

His muscles swelled several times over, and his arms were thicker than Gu Yue Na's thighs.

Judging by size alone, he could punch Gu Yue Na to death.

Three purple Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, circling and pulsing.

She Zonglong came from an extraordinary background, and his family had secured several opportunities for him to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Inside, he had absorbed energy to raise the age of his soul spirit.

It had evolved from the hundred-year level to the thousand-year level, turning even his first Soul Ring purple.

The auras of Gu Yue Na and She Zonglong collided in midair, immediately revealing the difference between them.

Their Soul Power differed by twenty levels—two major realms—so the disparity in their energy fluctuations was obvious.

On the surface, She Zonglong's aura was still stronger, suppressing Gu Yue Na.

Gu Yue Na's aura was confined within a one-meter radius, but it was not completely suppressed.

The Silver Dragon Queen's unique aura made total suppression impossible, and it stubbornly resisted.

It was worth mentioning that Gu Yue Na's Soul Power had now reached level thirteen.

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Gu Yue Na made the first move.

Balls of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water elemental energy appeared out of thin air around her and shot forward.

She Zonglong had watched Gu Yue Na's previous battles and knew her fighting style.

He would not let her keep bombarding him from afar. That would put him at too much of a disadvantage.

He decisively charged forward, and the first Soul Ring on his body rapidly lit up.

Diamonds condensed into a massive shield before him, completely blocking his body.

The diamond shield was formed from energy and was somewhat translucent, so it did not obstruct his vision.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The incoming elemental attacks exploded continuously against the shield.

She Zonglong charged like a raging bull, unstoppable in his momentum.

The impacts of the elemental attacks did not slow him down, and he continued to charge forward with brute force.

The gap in Soul Power between them became apparent at that moment.

If it had been a Soul Grandmaster, the same method could not have been dealt with so easily.

She Zonglong could achieve this only because his Soul Power was twenty levels higher than Gu Yue Na's.

Gu Yue Na realized the difference in strength between them and immediately changed her strategy.

Earth-element energy no longer appeared as direct attacks, instead spreading across the ground.

The metal floor was covered in sticky, slick mud.

When She Zonglong stepped onto the mud as he charged forward, his body visibly staggered.

He had no choice but to slow down and move carefully, or he might fall flat on his face.

The flames returned to their most primitive form, roaring fiercely toward him.

When they struck the shield, some were blocked while the rest curled around its sides.

The flames coming around both sides made She Zonglong feel as though he were being roasted over a fire.

The gale formed tornadoes, one after another sweeping forward.

The water transformed into chains that coiled around She Zonglong's legs.

By using elemental energy in a different form, the situation instantly changed.

Pure energy attacks might not have been enough to threaten She Zonglong.

But when these elemental attacks became less offensive and more obstructive, they produced results.

She Zonglong's speed as he approached Gu Yue Na visibly slowed, leaving him somewhat irritated.

These elemental attacks were not particularly powerful, but they were incredibly troublesome.

"Good, good, good..." At one end of the stands, Dean Xu Lin could not help but clap in admiration.

Gu Yue Na's use of the elements was truly eye-opening and astonishing.

The academy's higher-ups beside him also revealed looks of amazement, inwardly approving of her greatly.

Chen An was at the other end of the stands, similarly impressed by Gu Yue Na's change in tactics.

He watched closely, wanting to know exactly how Gu Yue Na would win.

There was a vast gap in Soul Power between the two sides in this battle, but he firmly believed that Gu Yue Na would win.

It was not because he knew Gu Yue Na particularly well that he had such confidence.

It was because of three words: Silver Dragon Queen. She was one of the Dragon God's incarnations—the Silver Dragon Queen.

Those three words represented the extraordinary in the Douluo World.

So long as the difference in strength between both sides was not impossible to overcome, he believed the Silver Dragon Queen would win.

Gu Yue Na used the elements to restrict She Zonglong, making it difficult for him to get close to her.

When a close-combat Soul Master could not fight at close range, he posed little threat.

If her opponent had been a Soul Grandmaster, Gu Yue Na could have completely worn him down.

But her current opponent was a Soul Elder, whose Soul Power was far more abundant than hers.

If this stalemate continued, it was still uncertain whose Soul Power would run out first.

Gu Yue Na summoned the Silver Dragon Spear. If she wanted to win, she had to use a weapon.

Seeing a weapon suddenly appear in Gu Yue Na's hand, the referee frowned slightly.

He instinctively wanted to remind her, but then seemed to think of something and turned to look behind him.

He looked toward Xu Lin and the other academy higher-ups in the stands. They had also noticed the weapon.

"This is no ordinary weapon," an old man beside Xu Lin said with great certainty.

"Nor is it a Soul Tool," another experienced close-combat Soul Guidance Master added.

He was also a Ninth-Level Soul Guidance Master and had spent his entire life researching close-combat Soul Tools.

He understood close-combat Soul Tools extremely well and could identify one at a glance.

Xu Lin considered many things for a moment before ultimately deciding to keep watching.

He also shook his head at the referee, signaling for the battle to proceed as normal.

Holding the Silver Dragon Spear, Gu Yue Na took the initiative to charge at She Zonglong, her momentum sharp and fierce.

"Good!" She Zonglong shouted. He was not afraid of Gu Yue Na getting close; he was afraid she would not.

His second Soul Ring lit up, and energy extended from his nose, forming an energy elephant trunk.

The trunk was over three meters long, thick, hard, and immensely powerful.

It swung like a long whip, cracking through the air with an explosive boom.

Silver light suddenly flashed across Gu Yue Na's body, and space began to ripple.

She showed no intention of dodging, nor did she raise her spear to block. She simply continued charging forward.

Just as the elephant trunk was about to strike her, she vanished in an eerie flash.
