Divine Dragon Battles Silver Dragon

Chen An's speed increased considerably as he flew into the air.

Gu Yue Na controlled the water-flow chains upward, intending to bind Chen An.

A green tornado soared into the sky, forming a blockade that would not allow Chen An to approach easily.

The flames that had previously been close to the ground missed their target, and Gu Yue Na quickly unleashed new flames.

This time, the flames shot into the air, directly along Chen An's path.

Even after flying into the air, Chen An still had to face all kinds of elemental attacks.

Relying on her exceptional combat experience and techniques, Gu Yue Na caused Chen An no end of trouble.

The unceasing barrage of long-range attacks made it difficult for him to get close to her.

"I still have to rely on the Scythe of Death's ranged attacks." Chen An felt helpless.

He had already tried his hardest, yet he still could not get close to Gu Yue Na.

She used elemental attacks to block him far too effectively, and her own movements were also highly calculated.

She always left herself a route of retreat. Whenever he approached, she would drift away.

He finally seized an excellent opportunity that made it difficult for her to evade.

Yet she used spatial movement to teleport away directly, and he still failed to touch her.

Gu Yue Na was like a loach—far too slippery and agile to the point of irritation.

Chen An could only summon the Scythe of Death and slash repeatedly.

Several elemental energy spheres were cleaved apart, while the green tornado and scorching flames were also split open.

With the Scythe of Death's support, the pressure on Chen An greatly decreased, making it much easier for him to close in.

But Chen An did not feel relaxed in the slightest. He had a weapon, and so did she.

Sure enough, not long after he summoned the Scythe of Death, Gu Yue Na also took out the Silver Dragon Spear.

She changed her fighting style as well, shifting to close combat.

"Clang, clang, clang..." The Scythe of Death and Silver Dragon Spear collided again and again, sending sparks flying.

After all this time practicing relentlessly, Chen An had become rather proficient in using the Scythe of Death.

He put Gu Yue Na under far more pressure than during their first spar, nearly injuring her several times.

However, Gu Yue Na was still Gu Yue Na. Her movements were excellent, and she defused every attack in time.

Moreover, she turned the tables and threatened Chen An instead. Several spear wounds had already appeared on his body.

Chen An passed over Gu Yue Na through the air, swinging the Scythe of Death down at her.

Gu Yue Na twisted aside, barely grazing past the Scythe of Death.

After flying past her, Chen An quickly turned and launched another attack at Gu Yue Na.

He made full use of his aerial advantage, attacking continuously from the air.

Gu Yue Na dealt with him using her spear while controlling the elements to interfere with Chen An.

This prevented him from flying through the air so smoothly. Distracted by other concerns, he was bound to make mistakes.

This battle did not become as one-sided as their first one.

Instead, it was fairly evenly matched, and Chen An still had a chance of winning.

In the stands, Xu Lin was quite satisfied with his disciple's performance, a smile on his face.

It would naturally be best if Chen An won, but losing did not matter either. This was already enough.

As the battle continued, Gu Yue Na's competitive spirit was also stirred.

She truly became serious, her attacks growing faster and more refined.

Chen An immediately came under pressure. After several dozen exchanges, he was already finding it difficult to hold on.

"Do I still have to transform into a giant dragon?" Chen An knew that if the fight continued like this, he would still lose.

The only way to win was to transform into a giant dragon.

"Watch out." Chen An gave a warning before suddenly climbing higher, as even greater power erupted from within him.

His body rapidly expanded and began transforming into a giant dragon.

Watching Chen An's changes, Gu Yue Na knew that he was about to assume his giant dragon form.

Her grip on the Silver Dragon Spear tightened, and a strong fighting spirit flashed through her eyes.

"Roar!" Chen An's body completed its transformation, becoming a Death God Dragon over ten meters long.

The giant dragon spread its wings and circled through the air several times, gazing coldly down below.

Gu Yue Na felt immense pressure. This giant dragon gave her a sense of danger.

After circling several times, the Death God Dragon stopped more than thirty meters diagonally above Gu Yue Na.

It hovered with wings spread wide, its bearing domineering as dense Death Qi emanated from its entire body.

Gu Yue Na faced the giant dragon without fear, filled only with the sharp spirit of competition.

"Stop at the right point," the Death God Dragon spoke in human words, using Chen An's voice.

"Stop at the right point," Gu Yue Na replied, understanding Chen An's intentions.

She sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the Silver Dragon Spear, triggering its power.

A clear, resonant dragon's roar rang out from the Silver Dragon Spear as it trembled continuously.

The Death God Dragon was also gathering something in its mouth, Death Qi around its body surging violently.

Boom! Seeing that Gu Yue Na was ready, the Death God Dragon unleashed Death Dragon Breath.

A vast amount of Death Mist poured forth like floodwaters bursting through a collapsed dam, incredibly fierce.

Within the Death Mist seemed to be countless hands of vicious ghosts, clawing grotesquely and sending chills down one's spine.

Gu Yue Na threw the Silver Dragon Spear with all her strength, and it transformed into a streak of light that shot toward the Death Mist.

A phantom silver dragon appeared, continuously expanding as it radiated dazzling seven-colored light.

Xu Lin and the others in the stands watched nervously, ready to intervene at any moment.

They all feared that the two might accidentally injure each other.

The phantom silver dragon charged into the Death Mist, constantly destroying those grotesque Hands of Death.

The Death Mist rapidly dispersed, while the phantom silver dragon's radiance also dimmed sharply.

Their attacks seemed evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a victor for the moment.

Energy surged and collided without end, battering their bodies. Gu Yue Na's face had already turned pale.

Chen An was doing better. After transforming into a giant dragon, his resistance to attacks had increased.

Boom! An explosion erupted in the air, its light blinding. The Silver Dragon Spear was knocked back by the blast.

After spinning several times, it scraped across the ground not far from Gu Yue Na.

"Cough, cough." Gu Yue Na staggered back several steps. Her blood and qi churned within her, and she could not help coughing.

Some Death Mist remained, but it no longer moved toward Gu Yue Na and was instead retracted by the Death God Dragon.

In this clash, Chen An's attack had ultimately held the upper hand.

The Death God Dragon descended to the ground, its form rapidly changing and shrinking as Chen An appeared.

Chen An steadied himself with effort and looked at Gu Yue Na in the distance. She was looking back at him as well.

Their gazes met, but neither held hatred or anger in their eyes.

They had merely been sparring. It was not enough to damage their relationship, and both had exercised restraint.

"When it comes to execution, experience, and technique, I'm still inferior to you. But after I transform into a giant dragon, you're inferior to me."

Chen An spoke slowly, assessing the difference in strength between himself and Gu Yue Na. He felt pleased, but not carried away.

There was still a gap between him and Gu Yue Na.

Gu Yue Na nodded in agreement. She had lost, but not entirely.

"You two are evenly matched. Neither of you lost; both of you are winners."

"I declare that both of you are tied for first place in the freshmen assessment."

"Your rewards will both be at the standard for first place," Xu Lin said with a smile as he walked onto the battlefield.

He did not want the two to develop a rift over who had won or lost, so he simply treated it as a draw.

In truth, their battle could indeed be considered a draw.

"Thank you, Teacher," Chen An said gratefully to Xu Lin.

Gu Yue Na also nodded to Xu Lin, expressing her thanks.

"You should both go receive treatment first. I'll give you your rewards later," Xu Lin said.

Naturally, Chen An and Gu Yue Na did not object. They followed a teacher out of the gymnasium.

Xu Lin watched them leave with a beaming smile, in an excellent mood.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na were brought to the infirmary, where Director Feng treated them.

Director Feng was a Titled Rank healing Soul Master, and his healing abilities were astonishing.

With a single use of his fifth Soul Skill, their injuries were mostly healed.

After resting in the infirmary for over an hour, the two headed to the Dean's Office.

"Sit." Dean Xu Lin had been waiting in the office for some time and warmly welcomed them inside.

Chen An and Gu Yue Na sat together, while Xu Lin sat on the sofa opposite them.

"I had only hoped that you would make it into the top four."

"But I never expected you both to surprise me and even defeat Soul Elders to reach the finals."

"Since you've given me such a surprise, I won't be stingy. I'll give you a surprise as well."

"This is the reward I carefully prepared for you." Xu Lin took out two boxes.

He handed them to Chen An and Gu Yue Na respectively.
