Battle Against Gu Yue

"Was that really necessary? I only broke through." Yun Chen shrugged.

Hearing that, Wei Xiaofeng felt the veins at his temple twitch, and his fists even clenched a little. If this were not the arena for the Class Promotion Tournament, he truly wanted to defect and join those two on the other side in giving Yun Chen a proper beating.

"Stop spacing out. The match has started," Yun Chen said.

Wei Xiaofeng snorted, then turned his gaze toward the two students from Class Five, Grade One. Defecting was obviously impossible, so he could only vent this resentment on his opponents.

Under his stare, Xie Xie immediately had a bad feeling. Wei Xiaofeng seemed to have picked him as his target.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Xie still gathered his courage. He took the lead in charging forward, the Light Dragon Dagger gripped in his hand.

Seeing Xie Xie rush over, Wei Xiaofeng immediately met him head-on. He was still somewhat wary of Gu Yue's strength, but against Xie Xie, he was brimming with confidence.

As Agility Attack System Soul Masters, both of them moved swiftly and clashed in an instant. Their exchange was spectacular, drawing the attention of everyone watching below the stage. Yet what puzzled them even more was that the other two on the stage seemed to have no intention of fighting.

At that moment, Gu Yue looked at the third soul ring beneath Yun Chen's feet and felt an inexplicable familiarity. She immediately thought of the Golden Dragon King Origin power that had flown out of Tang Wulin's body and vanished into the wind and rain. But on second thought, Yun Chen was merely an ordinary human Soul Master. No matter how exceptional his talent was, could he really have intercepted the Golden Dragon King Origin power right under Di Tian's nose without being noticed?

Besides, that was part of the Golden Dragon King Origin's power. Could an ordinary human Soul Master truly refine it into his own soul ring?

Moreover, although she felt a familiar trace in the energy leaking from that soul ring, she did not sense any closeness at the source. That meant it was probably not a soul ring formed from the Golden Dragon King Origin's power.

Having thought it through, Gu Yue calmed down. She raised her arm and lightly clenched her hand before her chest. A beautifully streamlined staff appeared in her grasp.

She had witnessed Yun Chen's strength in the Spirit Ascension Platform. The methods she usually used to bully Xie Xie clearly would not work on Yun Chen. Facing him as an opponent, Gu Yue felt that she needed to show some real skill.

The instant Gu Yue gripped her staff, Yun Chen moved as well. He stomped hard against the ground and shot toward Gu Yue.

Facing Yun Chen's rapid approach, Gu Yue calmly raised her staff. In the next instant, ice elements gathered beneath Yun Chen's feet, instantly freezing both his feet to the arena floor.

After completing the restraint, Gu Yue immediately began gathering other elements to attack. But in the next moment, her eyes widened, because her ice seal lasted only an instant before Yun Chen shattered it!

Gu Yue immediately dispersed the wind elements she had yet to finish gathering and switched back to ice elements, intending to restrain Yun Chen once more.

But Yun Chen had already activated the Blood Feud soul skill's enhancement, making him completely immune to all forms of control. When the Ice Wheel Gu Yue formed descended upon him, he merely felt a wave of cold sweep over him, with no other effect.

Seeing this, surprise flashed through Gu Yue's eyes. Although she had sealed away the Silver Dragon King Origin's power, her understanding of the elements remained. Yet the ice elements she controlled through her staff could not restrain him?

While she hesitated inwardly, Yun Chen had already reached her. His fist, charged for a long time, slammed toward Gu Yue without hesitation. Fortunately, Gu Yue came back to her senses and barely avoided the blow with wind elements enhancing her body. Even so, the force of the punch scattered her jet-black hair and made her cheeks feel the impact.

After dodging, Gu Yue immediately cast aside those thoughts. Whatever the reason her control had failed, it was not something she should be thinking about now. She needed to face Yun Chen with everything she had, or she felt she might lose horribly.

With that in mind, Gu Yue immediately launched her counterattack. Wind blades and fireballs gathered above her head, then shot together toward Yun Chen as he pursued her.

Just as Gu Yue's elemental attack was about to hit Yun Chen, he fiercely swung his arm toward her. Soul Power surged within him, and crimson crystals emerged with the motion of his hand, surging like rolling waves as they scattered the incoming wind blades and fireballs before rushing toward Gu Yue.

Yun Chen's attack method startled Gu Yue again, but she did not hesitate in the slightest. Silver light flickered, and her figure had already shifted to the other side of the arena.

"Space element? What a troublesome ability," Yun Chen muttered. He changed direction underfoot, circling around Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng as they fought in his path, then continued charging toward Gu Yue.

Gu Yue had become serious as well. After teleporting, she focused on preparing her next strike. She knew very well that ordinary elemental attacks would find it difficult to threaten Yun Chen. She had to use something stronger, such as a mixed attack combining two elements.

When wind and fire elements began to merge, Wu Zhangkong's arms, which had been folded across his chest, unconsciously clenched into fists. Even during training, he had never seen Gu Yue use such a method. He had originally planned to guide her toward trying this in the future, but unexpectedly, she had already mastered it. And from the looks of it, she had mastered it quite well!

But the next exchange on the stage stunned Wu Zhangkong. Gu Yue's dual-element attack was actually blown apart by Yun Chen's brutal punch!

Facing Gu Yue's attack this time, Yun Chen did not choose to evade. His charge did not slow as he threw a punch directly at the dual-element energy sphere.

The instant the dual-element energy sphere exploded, it engulfed his entire body. However, when he threw that punch, crimson crystals had formed a barrier before him, offsetting the force of the elemental explosion.

When Yun Chen burst through the smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion, he was already close to Gu Yue. As his fist shot out once more, Gu Yue did not use the space element to teleport away. Instead, she swung the staff in her hand and directly met Yun Chen's fist.

At the tip of the staff, earth and fire elements intertwined. The instant they collided with Yun Chen's fist, terrifying explosive force erupted outward.

In the next moment, both Yun Chen and Gu Yue were forced backward. But behind Yun Chen was the center of the arena, while behind Gu Yue was the edge of the stage.

Just as everyone thought Gu Yue would be blasted out of the arena by the force of that clash, silver light enveloped her again, and she flashed back onto the stage. She appeared directly before Yun Chen, then thrust the staff in her hand toward his chest.
