Power of Time and Elements Clash, Gu Yue Joins

"Elemental Tide!"

Facing the attack at such close range, Gu Yue did not panic. She merely raised a finger silently, and a fiery red glow flashed around her.

The next instant, a fireball the size of a human head tore through the air and hurtled toward Zhao Tao's face.

"Break!"

Facing Gu Yue's attack, Zhao Tao twisted his sword, Soul Power flooding the blade as he cleaved the fireball apart.

In an instant, waves of heat rushed toward Zhao Tao's face. Yet with a mere turn of his wrist, he held the Time Burial Sword before him, and the countless heat waves seemed to enter another dimension of time and space, unable to harm him in the slightest.

"Time Power!?"

Seeing what had happened to Zhao Tao, an unconscious flicker of shock crossed Gu Yue's pretty face once more.

Although she possessed all of Na'er's memories, there had been almost no opportunities for Soul Fighting at the Junior Soul Master Academy.

And while Zhao Tao trained at home with Na'er accompanying him, he had never displayed or used any Soul Skills.

Therefore, Na'er knew almost nothing about the true characteristics of Zhao Tao's Martial Soul!

For that very reason, Gu Yue was quite surprised when she discovered that Zhao Tao's Martial Soul could control Time Power.

While Gu Yue was secretly astonished, Zhao Tao continued his assault. Holding the Time Burial Sword, he dashed to Gu Yue's side, his blade aimed straight at her chest!

Faced with such a fierce attack, an ordinary Soul Master would likely have panicked long ago.

But she was Gu Yue, after all—the Silver Dragon King Clone!

The expression on Gu Yue's face remained calm and composed. The Yellow Soul Ring around her flashed, and the light surrounding her body instantly shifted from red to cyan.

Immediately afterward, Gu Yue's body accelerated as if propelled by springs, instantly opening a distance of nearly ten meters.

"Hmm... What Martial Soul is that?"

As Wu Changkong watched Gu Yue and Zhao Tao fight, a glimmer of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Even with his experience, he could not determine exactly what Gu Yue's Martial Soul was.

After all, in merely a few exchanges, Gu Yue had demonstrated control over both the Wind Element and the Fire Element.

It seemed that the Elemental Emissary Martial Soul she possessed was undoubtedly an exceptionally rare and powerful Martial Soul.

If that was the case, then he had truly found a treasure.

Just as Wu Changkong was puzzling over it, Gu Yue, having swiftly widened the distance between them, launched an attack of her own.

With a light flick of her finger, the color around Gu Yue's body turned earthy yellow.

At the same time, the ground beneath Zhao Tao seemed to transform into a swamp, causing his feet to sink into it.

While Zhao Tao was temporarily trapped, the glow around Gu Yue's body shifted to water blue once more.

As the Yellow Soul Ring around Gu Yue flashed, sharp icicles shot continuously toward Zhao Tao like razor-sharp arrows!

"Hmph, cheap tricks!"

Despite Gu Yue's exceedingly fierce assault, Zhao Tao remained just as calm. He swung the Time Burial Sword in his hand, easily blocking every attack.

At the same time, Zhao Tao poured Soul Power into his feet and leaped fiercely, breaking free from the swamp Gu Yue had created. Then, like an eagle diving from the sky, he charged savagely at Gu Yue.

"Good, very good!"

Watching such a brilliant duel, Wu Changkong's eyes shone continuously. He could not help clapping his hands and shouting his approval.

At that moment, Wu Changkong made up his mind. Even if he had to humbly beg Long Hengxu, he would definitely keep Gu Yue at Eastsea Academy, in Class Five.

After all, in the battle just now, both Gu Yue's combat skills and her Martial Soul had left Wu Changkong immensely satisfied, even somewhat shaken.

After all, in such a short battle, Gu Yue had already displayed control over the Fire Element, Wind Element, Earth Element, and Water Element.

To command the four great elements with just a single Martial Soul—just how powerful was the Martial Soul of this girl named Gu Yue?

Leaving aside the astonished Wu Changkong nearby, Gu Yue watched Zhao Tao, who was still in midair, and gave a sly smile. A white ball of light instantly flew toward Zhao Tao before violently exploding.

The next moment, Zhao Tao felt his vision turn completely white, as though he had entered an Ocean of Light.

This was precisely the Light Element attack Gu Yue had unleashed!

Although his vision was temporarily obstructed, Zhao Tao, with his immensely rich combat experience, did not panic.

With a thought, Zhao Tao released his Spiritual Power, catching the changes in the air currents. The Time Burial Sword in his hand swung continuously, easily blocking Gu Yue's successive attacks.

Finally, several seconds passed, and Zhao Tao's vision returned to normal.

This time, Zhao Tao did not attempt to approach Gu Yue for another close-range attack. Instead, he abruptly exerted force with his arm, sending the Time Burial Sword flying through the air toward Gu Yue.

Facing this attack, Gu Yue switched the element under her control to the Wind Element again. Cyan light flickered around her as she dodged into the distance.

But this time, Gu Yue's supposedly swift evasion appeared far too slow before the Time Burial Sword's attack. She could only watch helplessly as its blade drew closer and closer.

"Did the Time Power contained within the blade invisibly increase its speed?"

Seeing that simple evasion could no longer help her escape the Time Burial Sword, Gu Yue still did not panic. Silver Light flashed around her body.

The next moment, her body abruptly shifted several meters sideways, narrowly escaping the Time Burial Sword's attack.

"Space Power!"

Seeing this scene, Wu Changkong could not help crying out.

Zhao Tao, standing nearby, also put on a surprised expression. At the same time, with a thought, he recalled the Time Burial Sword.

"All right, let's stop here."

Clapping his hands, Wu Changkong called an end to the battle, which was destined to remain undecided in the short term.

"Gu Yue, you're really strong. If we get the chance in the future, we can fight together and improve each other!"

Putting away his Martial Soul, Zhao Tao looked at Gu Yue in the distance and took the initiative to extend his right hand.

"Sure. It's nice to meet you, Zhao Tao!"

Gu Yue smiled serenely as well and shook Zhao Tao's hand.

"Congratulations, Gu Yue. You have successfully passed my assessment. Welcome to Class Five!"

At that moment, Wu Changkong came to Gu Yue's side and announced the assessment result.

"Thank you, Teacher Wu. Here is my recommendation letter!"

Having received Wu Changkong's affirmative answer, Gu Yue gave a sweet smile, took out her Primary Academy recommendation letter, and handed it to him.

"Mm, very good."

"However, before I formally take you through the enrollment procedures, tell me about your Elemental Emissary Martial Soul first."

Taking the recommendation letter from Gu Yue, Wu Changkong asked curiously.

"All right, Teacher Wu."

"My Elemental Emissary Martial Soul allows me to control six elements."

"However, my Soul Ring cannot be attached to any particular element. Instead, it enhances my control over the elements."

"For example, my First Soul Skill, Elemental Tide, allows me to control elemental power over a larger area."

Hearing Wu Changkong's question, Gu Yue did not hide anything. She simply smiled sweetly and explained.
