Xu Yue: Little Fire Dragon, it is time to eat the Blade of the Cliff

Cyan-colored gale winds lifted Gu Yue's slender figure, allowing her to look down at Xu Yue from above.

Her cold, aloof expression carried a hint of a smile at this moment.

"Xu Yue, you shouldn't be able to leave the ground, right?"

"Or rather, once you leave the ground, the effects of that Stone-Solid Tyrant Body soul skill of yours will vanish."

"It seems you've been observing quite carefully these past few days." Xu Yue nodded, admitting, "It is indeed as you say; the effects of Stone-Solid Tyrant Body are greatly diminished once I leave the ground."

"However, if you think you can defeat me just by flying, then you are taking things a bit too simply."

"Oh? Then I'd like to see you try!"

No sooner had Gu Yue finished speaking than she waved her jade-like hands violently.

The gale winds that had been filling the air suddenly merged with the raging flames igniting in her hands.

In an instant, they transformed into a scorching Fire Tornado, sweeping toward Xu Yue below.

"Wind and Fire Prairie Fire!!"

Boom!

Under the intense, scorching heat, even the Metal Arena itself began to glow a faint red.

"Elemental fusion? Wind fueling the fire—this girl is strong!"

"That's right, this attack of hers feels no less powerful than the Fourth Soul Skill of some Soul Ancestors."

"Is this what a Soul Master with a thousand-year soul ring is capable of?!"

As Gu Yue fused the two basic elements of wind and fire, the crowd in the spectator stands erupted in exclamation.

Even from a great distance, the scorching heat still transformed into rolling waves of warmth, baking their cheeks.

However.

Gu Yue, who was currently unleashing this move, did not feel as relaxed as the spectators; instead, her expression grew grave as she stared downward.

She saw that Xu Yue, positioned at the center of the Fire Tornado, maintained his previous stance, holding the Vortex Vanquisher in one hand and watching her quietly.

That layer of crystalline Jade Shield emitted a faint golden light, isolating all the high heat and damage completely.

"Your shield is actually this tough?!"

"Actually, I am even tougher than the shield." Xu Yue smiled, then his expression tightened. "Watch out!"

Before his voice had even faded, Gu Yue felt a sense of danger wash over her heart, and she instinctively utilized the Space Element to teleport.

Hum!

A streak of golden light brushed past her shoulder.

It left Gu Yue, who had reappeared elsewhere, with lingering fear.

That was... the spear in Xu Yue's hand?

"My Rock Spear can be condensed at will, but how many times can you use your teleportation?"

As he spoke, three or five more Rock Spears transformed into golden streams of light and shot into the sky.

The momentum, capable of piercing through anything, was almost on par with shells fired from a level three or four Soul Guidance Cannon.

For a moment, Gu Yue had no choice but to abandon the stronger wind and fire elemental fusion, releasing fireballs and Wind Blades in the intervals between her spatial shifts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Golden light flashed repeatedly, piercing through countless Wind Blades and fireballs.

Yet, amidst the flickering silver light, they brushed past her.

This kind of battle left Xu Yue feeling somewhat helpless; he couldn't feel any joy in the fight.

"Since that's the case, let's end this early."

He glanced at the other two battles not far away.

Under the protection of the Jade Shield, Wei Xiaofeng was like a berserker who had unleashed a frenzy, attacking without any defense and directly suppressing Xie Xie.

Even when Xie Xie used his Second Soul Skill to counterattack, it was to no avail; he could not shake the Jade Shield in the slightest.

On the other side, the battle between Xu Xiaoyan and Tang Wulin was similarly one-sided.

Possessing both the Ice Staff and Star Staff forms, Xu Xiaoyan also boasted impressive combat power.

Wherever the Ice Wheel passed, the Blue Silver Grass snapped one after another.

Even when Tang Wulin managed to charge close by brandishing his Forging Hammer, he could not shake that thin layer of Golden Light Membrane.

The weight of rock is truly reassuring!!

Xu Yue withdrew his gaze and looked up at Gu Yue in the sky with a smile.

"Gu Yue, do you know? For every Little Fire Dragon flying in the sky, the outcome of being knocked down is already set."

"What?"

Gu Yue was stunned in the midst of dodging the Rock Spears.

What Little Fire Dragon? Could he know my identity?

Before she had time to think further, Xu Yue below suddenly stomped heavily on the ground beneath his feet.

Boom! The ground began to tremble.

Amidst a thunderous roar, a massive amount of earth elements rapidly converged, condensing into a thick Rock Pillar that shot into the sky, thrusting directly toward Gu Yue in mid-air.

"This is Earth Spike? You think an attack like this can hit me?" Gu Yue snorted coldly, "Xu Yue, do you have no other means of attack?"

"Who said it wouldn't hit?" Xu Yue smiled slightly, gazing at Gu Yue, "Don't forget, I have a teammate."

"Xiaoyan!"

"Brother A-Yue, I'm here!" Xu Xiaoyan used an Ice Spear to knock Tang Wulin back, her wrist turning lightly.

The originally pure white and crystalline Ice Staff immediately transformed into a Star Staff wreathed in starlight.

"Stars in the sky, shining bright, forever brilliant, forever peaceful!"

"Grant me power, my Star Wheel!"

As the Star Staff appeared, the entire aura of Xu Xiaoyan began to change; amidst the swirling starlight, she seemed to become noble and elegant.

Her Soul Ring was also suffused with specks of starlight, and a golden star lit up on her forehead, becoming her most beautiful adornment.

Seeing this scene, Tang Wulin's expression changed, and he immediately understood that Gu Yue was being targeted.

He did not hesitate, abandoning Xu Xiaoyan right in front of him, and charged toward Xu Yue while brandishing his Forging Hammer.

Attack where the enemy must save; to stop the current situation, he had to interrupt Xu Yue, who was unleashing the attack.

However.

Running speed can never keep up with the activation of a Soul Skill.

Amidst the roar of the rising Rock Pillar, the voices of Xu Xiaoyan and Xu Yue reached Gu Yue's ears one after another.

"First Soul Skill, Star Wheel Chain!"

"...It's not called Earth Spike, you can call it..."

"Blade of the Cliff!!!"

Just as Gu Yue prepared to move.

A brilliant hexagram appeared beneath her body, and as the starlight shone, strands of starlight extended from it.

"What?"

Gu Yue's pupils constricted as she felt her body tighten, and she instantly lost the ability to move.

Facing the Rock Pillar that was inches away, Gu Yue hurriedly channeled her soul power to resist.

But she was shocked to discover that, in the dark, a special power seemed to have sealed her, and her soul power circulation was much slower than normal.

"This effect is... Absolute Certainty?!"

The moment this thought appeared in her mind, Xu Yue's Blade of the Cliff from below had already arrived.

Boom!

A wave of earthy-yellow soul power exploded, and the Rock Pillar condensed from elemental energy shattered with a roar.

Gu Yue, who had been struck, fell toward the ground like a bird with broken wings.

"Stop!"

Tang Wulin had reached Xu Yue by then and, without a second thought, swung his Forging Hammer down at his head.

Facing this strike, Xu Yue didn't even look.

He simply gave the Vortex Vanquisher a light flick, and the terrifying force sent the Forging Hammer in Tang Wulin's left hand flying, his body crashing several meters away like a discarded sack.

Immediately after, with a light tap of his feet, Xu Yue gently caught Gu Yue as she was about to hit the ground.

Looking at Gu Yue in his arms, he smiled and said, "How about it? You've lost now, right?"
