The Terrifying Gu Yue! The Reasonable Tang Wulin [Please Follow]

"Martial Soul: Elemental Master, level twenty-eight."

"Begin."

Gu Yue did not spare him another glance, as if the person before her was not worth mentioning at all. She silently withdrew her gaze from Lu Li and spoke indifferently.

"Hmph."

"First Soul Skill, Dark Sky Curtain!"

Zhang Yangzi let out a cold snort. His wings flapped violently, and his figure shot upward, rising ten meters into the air. His first soul ring suddenly lit up.

At this moment, dense dark energy poured down like a tide. In an instant, the ten-meter space around them was shrouded in ink-black mist, and all light was completely swallowed.

Only Zhang Yangzi remained, flying in the air like a ghost, the sound of his wings flapping echoing from time to time.

This was his first soul skill, Dark Sky Curtain.

It was an area-of-effect soul skill, suitable for control-type combat. The space within the range would be trapped in black mist, and as long as his energy held out, the range would persist.

Of course, that was assuming the opponent did not possess light-attribute soul skills or superior elemental control...

"Elemental Tide."

Gu Yue spoke calmly.

The moment her voice fell, a flash of golden light appeared from her left hand, suddenly illuminating the space. Zhang Yangzi, who was flying in mid-air, instantly appeared in her vision.

"Light element illumination?"

Zhang Yangzi's expression tightened. As expected of the Elemental Master martial soul; was the light element also within her control?

"Light Radiance Art."

Gu Yue did not give him time to react. The light in her hand magnified in an instant, and the golden radiance bloomed, tearing a massive gap in the ink-black mist before her.

Wherever the light reached, the dark energy dissipated like melting snow, vanishing without a trace.

Zhang Yangzi's figure was firmly locked by the golden light, leaving him no possibility of hiding. His heart tightened, and he flapped his wings violently, preparing to dive for a surprise attack. The yellow light of his second soul ring had already lit up!

"Second Soul Skill, Eagle Strikes the Sky..."

Eagle Strikes the Sky was his second soul skill, an instant-cast speed and attack soul skill. As long as he could reach his opponent, he would surely be able to reverse his disadvantage and turn defeat into victory!

But at this very moment, a trace of cyan light flowed across Gu Yue's fingertips, and a touch of wind element descended silently.

"Wind Binding."

In an instant, countless transparent wind ropes emerged from the void around Zhang Yangzi. As if summoned by her, they instantly coiled around his wings and limbs.

Although these wind ropes were soft, the resilient force they contained bound Zhang Yangzi tightly. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free in the slightest.

His upward momentum came to an abrupt halt. His body sank, and he was dragged by the wind ropes, slowly falling toward the ground. The sharp cry of the Dark Phantom Eagle rang out in mid-air, but it carried a sense of helpless agitation.

"Wind element control!"

"You can manipulate two elements at the same time?!"

Zhang Yangzi gritted his teeth, speaking in disbelief.

Even if her martial soul was an Elemental Master, shouldn't she only be able to use one element at a time? How was it the light attribute a second ago, and the wind attribute the next?

"Who told you that you couldn't?"

Gu Yue spoke coldly. The moment Zhang Yangzi hit the ground, she simply raised her hand and quickly condensed a wind blade. The cyan blade shimmered with a cold light, flashing with a chilling edge.

To Zhang Yangzi's shock, she flicked her wrist, and the wind blade shot out like a bolt of lightning, precisely grazing the wing of the Dark Phantom Eagle before coming to a stop a finger's width from his neck.

"Gulp..."

Zhang Yangzi swallowed subconsciously. It was at this moment that the voice of Wu Changkong rang out with lightning speed:

"Gu Yue wins!"

Gu Yue nodded slightly and slowly retracted the elemental power around her; the golden and cyan lights vanished instantly.

She didn't even look at Zhang Yangzi, walking silently back into the crowd as if she hadn't participated in a battle at all, but had merely brushed away a fly in a casual manner.

She left after the deed was done, hiding her merit and fame!

"..."

"Instant casting without a wind-up, as expected of the Silver Dragon King, an elemental powerhouse with maxed-out elemental attributes, the strongest mage."

Lu Li watched this scene silently, sighing in his heart.

The type of opponent he feared most was a top-tier long-range powerhouse.

Because no matter how strong he was, as long as he faced a long-range fighter with a fast enough frequency, he would face significant trouble, not to mention the presence of control effects...

And Gu Yue was clearly such an example.

He would not be the least bit surprised if she became the strongest control-type soul master in the future. It was only because he was older than her; otherwise, she would truly be a rival he could be entangled with for a lifetime.

Oh right, she would be his future junior sister...

It seemed they would still be entangled after all.

"Brother Lu Li, do you know anything about her martial soul? I don't think I've ever heard of a martial soul like Elemental Master."

Wu Changkong selected the contestant for the next match, then looked at him and asked with a puzzled expression, as he had never heard of such a rare Martial Soul.

"I haven't learned anything about it."

"But judging by her proficiency in controlling elements, she has at least several different ones, and she can achieve instant casting for at least Ultimate Light and Ultimate Wind."

"I'm afraid she is capable of full elemental control; the potential of her Martial Soul is even above my own."

Lu Li smiled and spoke slowly.

"Above yours?"

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Wu Changkong frowned.

If that were truly the case, this girl named Gu Yue would surely become a top-tier Limit Douluo in the future, and one of the strongest among them at that!

"It's not an exaggeration at all."

Lu Li smiled and shook his head. Others might not know, but how could he not? He didn't know who stood above his Golden Holy Dragon King Martial Soul, but as the Silver Dragon King, one half of the Dragon God...

She was a woman near the very top of the evolutionary chain!

"..."

"Holy crap..."

On the other side, after Gu Yue's battle ended, all the students in Class One gasped in unison, looks of shock appearing on their faces.

They had thought she was strong, but this was just too much. Being at the same Soul Grand Master rank, Gu Yue had completely suppressed Zhang Yangzi; that display of overwhelming strength made them want to kneel!

"This Gu Yue..."

"She's a bit overpowered."

Tang Wulin took a look and frowned. Multi-elemental control with such short casting times was just too exaggerated.

Could this be what Big Brother Lu Li had mentioned before—no technique, just pure stat-checking?

"I think so too."

"I feel like there's no hope of winning against her."

Xie Xie, standing beside him, nodded in agreement, but the next moment, he gave the other boy a speechless look.

"You're pretty overbearing yourself."

"I feel like it would be very hard to win against you, too."

"Ah, no, no."

Tang Wulin waved his hands hurriedly, a harmless smile on his face. He didn't know anything about fighting...

He just understood a little bit of "reasoning," that's all.

"..."

"As expected of a genius with Innate Full Soul Power."

"Is this the difference between Innate level nine and level ten?"

Zhang Yangzi's face was written with shock as he returned to the side of Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng, muttering to himself.

"Yangzi, are you alright?"

Wang Jinxi asked with concern.

"I feel like our opponent is very strong."

Wei Xiaofeng stepped forward and patted Zhang Yangzi on the shoulder, his face also showing a trace of seriousness as he spoke.

Of course, for someone who feared nothing, it was only a trace.

"Jinxi, I'm fine."

"Xiaofeng is right. Unless we use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, I'm afraid the three of us have no hope."

"I mean in a situation where all three of us fight together."

Zhang Yangzi swept his gaze over the two of them and said slowly.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"I didn't see it..."

Wei Xiaofeng was stunned, while Wang Jinxi nodded thoughtfully. Was this Gu Yue really that formidable?

"What could you possibly see?"

Zhang Yangzi rolled his eyes at him speechlessly. He didn't consider himself a very smart person, but compared to the other boy, he felt he was quite the authority.

"Anyway, it's a good thing we're classmates, otherwise I don't know how many times we'd have to fight over the next few years."

"I just don't know who among us will be one of the representatives for the promotion matches against other grades."

Zhang Yangzi muttered.

"That goes without saying. At least two of us three will be there. As for the other top experts, I have no objection to Gu Yue being one, but where are the other geniuses?"

"The level 18 Zhao Wuji or Xie Xie? Their Innate Soul Power is at most level six or seven; nothing to worry about."

Wei Xiaofeng chuckled, looking as if he saw through everything.

"It couldn't possibly be Tang Wulin, could it?"

"Pfft, don't make me laugh..."
