Mortal World Sinks, He Only Watches!

However, Luo Yanglu did not believe that Huo Yuhao already possessed spiritual control powerful enough to rival a Titled Douluo. He merely assumed it was the effect of Huo Yuhao's Third Soul Skill.

Huo Yuhao had not obtained his Third Soul Ring long ago, and Luo Yanglu did not know its effects. Besides, the Ice Silkworm Soul Spirit was mutated and had given him the god skill Spiritual Detection Sharing. Who could guarantee that it would not possess other bizarre Soul Skills?

Perhaps it was a special Soul Skill that enhanced spiritual control...

After dealing with Gu Yuena's first wave of attacks, Huo Yuhao lightly tapped the ground with his toes and instantly shot forward, leaving a blur behind him as he charged straight at Gu Yuena. His astonishing speed made Xie Xie doubt whether he, an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master, was a fraud.

Relying on his extraordinary speed, Huo Yuhao arrived before Gu Yuena almost instantly. His right hand clenched into a fist and drove straight toward her abdomen.

Yet that seemingly certain strike missed.

With a flash of Silver Light, Gu Yuena had already appeared ten meters away.

"Space Element?"

Wei Xiaofeng's eyes widened.

He had accepted his defeat against Huo Yuhao. That Soul Power Level alone had erased any thought of challenging him. But he had not given up on the others. He had originally hoped to secure third place and compete with Gu Yuena for second, but now that the battle had reached this point, he had completely abandoned that notion.

Gu Yuena had used six different elements, including the bizarre Space Element. He had no hope whatsoever of defeating her!

Gu Yuena glanced in Luo Yanglu's direction, took a deep breath, and swiftly formed a complex hand seal before her chest. The first and second Soul Rings surrounding her suddenly lit up.

A mass of fiery red light bloomed before her, while a mass of azure light swirled around it.

Wind and fire, Two Attributes that complemented one another. The azure Wind Element continuously amplified the flames' might, making them burn ever fiercer. A one-meter-tall Wind Fire Twin Tornadoes formed before her in an instant, radiating a suffocatingly violent aura.

But that was not all. Clearly, Gu Yuena had not continued channeling Soul Power, yet the Power of Elements in the air gathered of its own accord, further enhancing the Wind Fire Tornado's might.

The watching Students cried out and hurriedly retreated.

Luo Yanglu was equally astonished. "Heart of Elements?"

Soul Masters with elemental attributes were extremely rare. If they wished to become Strong Experts, they had to comprehend the Heart of Elements—the true essence of an element.

Mastering the Heart of Elements meant that a Soul Master could truly merge with his Martial Soul. Not only could he rely on his own Soul Power, he could directly draw elemental power from the air, greatly increasing both his offensive and defensive strength.

He had never even heard of a Soul Master who had grasped the Heart of Elements at such an age, much less the Hearts of Elements for two elements!

At that thought, Luo Yanglu secretly rejoiced that he had become Class One's Teacher.

Having drawn in so much Power of Elements, the current Wind Fire Storm was no weaker than the strongest Soul Skill of a Four-Ring Battle Soul Master. If Gu Yuena's Spiritual Power could not control it and it erupted, an ordinary Soul King would not be able to save her opponent in time.

He was not worried about Yuhao, but if a Teacher unaware of Gu Yuena's strength rashly arranged for her to fight someone else, and her opponent angered her, the consequences would be hard to predict.

Looking at the attack before him, Huo Yuhao knew that Gu Yuena did not intend to drag things out and wanted to end this spar quickly. His gaze flickered, and an eerily cold glow appeared over his palm. Vast Spiritual Power began merging with the Soul Power of Extreme Ice, giving his entire being an ethereal air.

I should use a little of my own stuff...

As the fire storm closed in, Huo Yuhao swung out his palm, which contained a portion of his essence, energy, and spirit.

Boom!

A fierce Elemental Storm erupted. Under Huo Yuhao's deliberate control, the chill of Extreme Ice did not spread outward. It entirely canceled out the fire-element storm, and the Wind Fire Twin Tornadoes vanished with it.

With another flash of Silver Light, Gu Yuena appeared before Huo Yuhao, dozens of Ice Cones circling around her and releasing frigid air.

But before she could launch the Ice Cones, she was affected by the lingering spiritual state of mind in the area. Her thoughts froze for an instant, and it seemed as though a Scroll painting unfolded before her eyes.

Within the vast mortal world, a person was shrouded from head to toe in thin gauze of cold hues. He watched the crowds come and go around him, as though he stood in another time and space, witnessing the passage of years and the changes of the world...

Mortal World Sinks, and he only watched!

"I concede." Seeing Gu Yuena stop moving, Huo Yuhao did not continue attacking.

Neither of them had brought out their true strength, nor could they truly fight with all they had. Huo Yuhao knew what Luo Yanglu wanted to see, and when they had closed in just now, he had already probed it out for him. It was best to stop here.

Gu Yuena came back to her senses and took a deep breath. The Ice Cones around her turned into cold mist and dissipated.

Just now, she truly had been affected by that state of mind. If she had been attacked, she likely would have found it difficult to react in time.

But she did not care about victory or defeat. What she cared about more was the state of mind behind that Soul Skill. Was that the world as seen through the eyes of this God King?

It felt rather far removed from what she had imagined. She had thought he would immerse himself in the mortal world more...

"Are you two all right?"

Seeing the two stop, Luo Yanglu walked over and examined them. Once he confirmed that neither was injured, he finally relaxed completely.

Only then did he have time to carefully consider the battle just now.

Huo Yuhao's decision to take the fire storm head-on had surprised him. What surprised him even more was the final palm strike Huo Yuhao had unleashed.

Those Students could not understand it, but Luo Yanglu knew exactly what that strike was.

It was a self-created supreme technique!

Combining one's understanding of one's Martial Soul, Soul Power, vitality and blood, Spiritual Power, even one's own will and emotions into one, then turning it into a battle technique uniquely suited to oneself—this was the path that even Title Douluo-level Strong Experts gradually explored.

The Qian Gu Clan's Unyielding Cudgel Technique of the Spirit Pagoda, Shrek's Scarlet Dragon Douluo's Crimson Dragon Nine Forms, and the like all belonged to this category. The difference lay in what each technique incorporated.

But no matter what, such supreme techniques were the most suitable for their respective Soul Masters, and they could continue growing stronger alongside them.

"No wonder Yi Chen said he could not teach you. The Soul Skills he created would not suit you either. So this was the reason. Creating your own battle technique at this age... You're truly something, Yuhao. Still, you actually incorporated such a detached state of mind. You should learn to get along with others properly."

Luo Yanglu felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

And there was Gu Yuena, who had comprehended the Hearts of Elements for two elements. These two were both complete freaks!

But they were the Spirit Pagoda's future successors. Freaks were good!

After sighing with emotion, Luo Yanglu did not forget the purpose of making the two fight. He looked at Gu Yuena and smiled.

"Your understanding of your Martial Soul is very thorough, and you know well how to make use of your own advantages. However, it seems that you have not received enough basic training, and your combat experience is lacking."

"When Yuhao closed in on you just now, he actually had ways to restrain you and end the battle along the way. But he understood what I meant, so he did not use Simulation or interference-type Soul Skills, allowing you to evade with the Space Element."

"You had no intention of dodging at all at the time. Were you planning to rely solely on your Martial Soul's innate abilities? Then have you considered what would happen if that method failed?"

Gu Yuena: "..."

So that was the key point?

Strictly speaking, she indeed had very little actual combat experience and little worldly experience as well.

After all, she had lain in the Lake of Life and never come out. Where would she have gotten combat experience or worldly experience?

But in God Tier battles, what mattered more were laws. It was all about overwhelming force. Experience was not useless, but it was not as useful as people imagined.

Still, Gu Yuena did not reveal her thoughts and humbly accepted the advice.
