A Draw, Gu Yue Joins

"My god, what kind of monster is Luo Ze? He actually blocked that fireball head-on! And he didn't even use a Soul Skill!"

Xie Xie was so shocked that he could barely speak properly. He leaned back, his right hand trembling as he pointed at Luo Ze.

The other students of Class Five felt the same way. Though they did not know much, they could feel the power of the fireball Gu Yue had unleashed in her final attack even from far away.

That fireball not only carried an extremely high temperature, but it was also powerful enough to affect the surrounding air.

"My god, is a genius like this really a student from Class Five?!"

"I seriously suspect Luo Ze was assigned to the wrong class! With that kind of strength, he wouldn't be out of place even in the advanced division!"

"Give us underachievers a chance to live!"

Everyone chimed in, their words full of admiration and amazement for Luo Ze.

Even Wu Changkong, who was as cold as frost, showed a slight change in expression. His gaze at Luo Ze was filled with appreciation and satisfaction.

With such talent, even at Shrek Academy, he would undoubtedly stand at the very tip of the pyramid!

That idiot Long Hengxu had actually assigned him to Class Five. Then he could not blame Wu Changkong for leading them to total victory in the Promotion Match!

As expected of the man who made "you" fall for him. He really is impressive—but I won't lose!

As she looked at Luo Ze, the surprise in Gu Yue's eyes turned into appreciation, then stubborn resolve. The Soul Power radiating from her body rose a few notches again, and her attacks became even sharper.

This time, Gu Yue did not hold back. Skillfully wielding her elements, she charged at Luo Ze once more.

Looking at the now-serious Gu Yue, Luo Ze seemed to see Na'er's figure in those purple eyes.

Na'er...

Luo Ze's heart stirred. The figure in his mind shattered the next second, replaced by Gu Yue, who was rapidly flickering around him.

Space ability?!

The well-read Luo Ze immediately recognized that Gu Yue was using a space ability, the most mysterious and rare of all elemental abilities.

Unlike elemental abilities such as fire, which could only be considered the natural world's five-element energies and at their peak merely amplified attacks to the extreme.

Space abilities were different. According to legend, Soul Beasts with space abilities could even travel through the past and alter the future.

Upon seeing the space ability, Luo Ze no longer dared to hold anything back. Frowning slightly, a yellow Soul Ring appeared before him. "Kirin Pressure!"

Luo Ze knew that if he continued showing mercy, Gu Yue might really turn him into a sieve.

After all, he had experienced the power of space abilities through Grandfather Elder Frost. There was only one word to describe it: monstrous!

The instant Kirin Pressure was unleashed, Gu Yue felt as though something within her had been sealed. Her entire body went weak, and her Soul Power inexplicably began to dissipate.

Yet Gu Yue did not panic, nor did she show any intention of stopping. Ice spikes and fireballs gathered around her once more, determined to settle the matter with Luo Ze!

Luo Ze did not hold back either. It was rare for him to encounter an opponent who could make him take things seriously, so naturally he had to cherish this chance to fight!

"Alright, that's enough. Gu Yue, you have already proven your strength."

Seeing that the two were evenly matched, Wu Changkong stepped forward and interrupted the battle between Luo Ze and Gu Yue.

In terms of strength, their performance in battle could be said to be on par. That was already enough to prove Gu Yue's ability.

Besides, if they kept fighting, neither of them would stop without fighting to the death. If resentment arose between them, it would do no good for the upcoming Promotion Match.

"Yes!"

At Wu Changkong's words, the two withdrew their Martial Souls.

"Teacher, can I enroll now?" Gu Yue turned to Wu Changkong and asked.

"You can. I will keep my promise, but you must first tell me about your background and the specifics of your Martial Soul." Wu Changkong nodded slightly as he answered.

"Alright, the fight is over. You've watched enough, so no slacking off. The last one gets three extra laps!"

Wu Changkong then turned his gaze toward the field and gave the order coldly.

Hearing the command, the students could not help but shudder. Only then did they snap out of the spectacular battle, quickly compose themselves, and continue running.

Compared to before, they ran a little faster. Whether it was because they feared punishment or had been inspired by Luo Ze and Gu Yue, no one knew.

In any case, every single one of them now wore an exceptionally serious expression.

"Here, Teacher. This is my recommendation letter from the junior academy. Just as I explained earlier, my Martial Soul is an Elemental Envoy. I can control six elements: ice, fire, earth, wind, light, and the Space Element." Gu Yue took out a letter from her spatial Soul Tool, handed it over, and explained.

Wu Changkong was completely stunned. There was actually a Martial Soul in this world capable of controlling six elements?!

One element in a Martial Soul was already considered extraordinarily exceptional.

Yet this little girl possessed six elements at once. It was simply unimaginable.

Seeing the surprise in Wu Changkong's eyes, Gu Yue did not conceal anything. "Although I can control six elements, my Soul Rings cannot be attached to the elements."

"Therefore, I can control their changes, but I cannot make them stronger. My First Soul Skill is Elemental Tide. It allows my Soul Power to last longer while also strengthening my elements."

Only after hearing Gu Yue's explanation did Wu Changkong come to a realization.

Sure enough, it was impossible for there to be an existence in the world that could control every element and still be overwhelmingly powerful.

The reason Gu Yue had been able to draw with Luo Ze was purely because she controlled the elements she possessed extremely well, even though none of them was particularly powerful on its own.

Still, it was enough to prove that this was an exceptional, top-tier Martial Soul.

Wu Changkong said, "Alright, I understand. From today onward, you are a student of Class Five, Year One."

"Thank you, Teacher." Gu Yue replied with a radiant smile.

Wu Changkong nodded, then turned his cold gaze toward Luo Ze. "You were careless and ended in a draw. You didn't use your Soul Skill. You became arrogant and complacent. If you don't run twenty laps today, you can forget about eating!"

"Yes, Teacher Wu!" Luo Ze answered seriously, without the slightest trace of resentment in his eyes.

Teacher Wu was right. If he had used Kirin Pressure from the start, together with Bloodline Suppression, he would have won long ago.

Unfortunately, Gu Yue's eyes looked too much like Na'er's, making him hesitate. He really should not have done that!

After saying that, Luo Ze put on his iron shirt again and followed behind the group.

"How much does that iron shirt weigh?" Gu Yue asked curiously. Her steps were light as she came up beside Luo Ze after running two laps.

"One hundred jin." Luo Ze looked ahead as he picked up his pace and answered Gu Yue.

"That heavy? Then you're amazing! Why did you go easy on me during our match today?" Gu Yue asked, pretending to be astonished.

"Well... there were some personal reasons." Luo Ze gave a vague reply.

"Mm, personal reasons? Why do I feel like you were looking at someone else through me?"

Gu Yue spoke probing words, her purple eyes fixed on Luo Ze as if she were very curious about how he would react next.
