Gu Yue, First Clash, Nothing Was Beyond Burning!

Their eyes met.

Lin Jin froze for a moment.

She was a girl dressed in white trousers and a white top.

She was not exceptionally beautiful, perhaps not even as beautiful as Mu Xi beside him.

But her features were delicate.

Among girls her age, her figure was above average, well-proportioned.

Her long black hair fell loose, and her black eyes were lively.

She seemed to be about his age.

And yet...

Spirit Connection Realm!

She was another person with remarkably monstrous Spiritual Power.

Moreover, Lin Jin could sense that all manner of elemental power around her was exceptionally active.

Clearly, her elemental affinity was extremely high.

With all those traits combined, Lin Jin's eyes widened slightly as he instantly realized who she was.

Gu Yue!

The other half of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's divided personality, apart from Na'er, created because of a wager.

Lin Jin had not expected that a casual stroll would not only bring a breakthrough in his Spiritual Power, but also lead him to encounter her.

"How rude."

Gu Yue suddenly spoke, and a mental shockwave came howling toward him.

Lin Jin raised a brow.

But he was not surprised.

That was simply how Gu Yue was. She was cold toward everyone except Tang Wulin.

The two had stared at each other for quite some time. Her suddenly attacking did not seem all that hard to understand.

But he was not someone who would sit and wait to be attacked.

It was as if Lotus Flower Flame bloomed in his eyes.

Scarlet and orange rippled outward.

The next moment, that mental shockwave, not particularly powerful and meant only as a warning, was instantly set ablaze!

After giving her warning, Gu Yue had already turned to leave.

But in the next moment, a sharp pain shot through her mind.

She whipped around and stared at Lin Jin in disbelief.

Although she had decided to first integrate into the human world, and had come to Eastsea City because of a wager.

She had not even met the person at the center of it all before running into such a monstrous human genius.

At nine years old, he was already at the late stage of the Spirit Connection Realm, with Spiritual Power even stronger than what she currently displayed.

That was why she had cried out in surprise earlier.

It was also why she had met his gaze, intending to probe his true capabilities.

Yet at a glance, she had spotted the badge inside the chest of his shirt, clearly made by a Spirit Douluo-level expert or higher.

Though it was hidden inside his clothing.

The fluctuations emitted by the Calm Heart Array Pattern within it were far too conspicuous to her eyes.

Thus, after giving him only a small warning, she had prepared to leave.

Her power was still weak at present, and she did not wish to invite trouble.

Yet she had never expected it.

Not only had her mental shockwave failed to serve as a warning.

That thread of Spiritual Power had been directly burned to nothing!

What kind of flame was that?

It could actually burn even Spiritual Power?!

Gu Yue searched through her memories, yet found no flame that matched it.

Something was strange!

She immediately realized that.

But before her mind could fully react, her body had already moved ahead of it on instinct.

She took a step, and space rippled as Gu Yue vanished.

The next moment.

Gu Yue reappeared less than three meters in front of Lin Jin.

At the same time, she raised a hand and pressed down, sending a fireball crashing toward him.

The sudden attack gave Mu Xi a fright.

She had also sensed earlier that Lin Jin, whose arm she was holding, seemed to have entered some kind of realization.

Thus, she had stopped with him and remained still, afraid of disturbing him.

At the same time, she had been watching their surroundings, worried that passersby might interfere.

But Gu Yue's sudden appearance still startled her.

Spatial control was something she had never encountered before.

However.

As the person being attacked, Lin Jin was naturally not as flustered as Mu Xi.

He gently pushed Mu Xi away.

Then he stepped forward, reached out, and clenched his hand. A scarlet-orange Lotus Flower Flame bloomed in his palm.

Gu Yue's descending fireball was directly caught in his hand.

Puff!

Something that shocked Gu Yue even more happened.

She could clearly feel that the flames she had unleashed were being ignited by flames!

Flames being ignited by flames!

It sounded like nonsense, something ordinary people—and even she herself—found difficult to comprehend.

Yet it had happened.

The fireball vanished beneath the Lotus Flower Flame in Lin Jin's hand.

Though Gu Yue was shocked, her curiosity grew even stronger.

She wanted to know, and she had to find out, what exactly was happening.

So.

She clenched her hand again, and ice spikes shot forth.

Ignited, annihilated!

Earth Rhythm, Earth Spike erupted.

Ignited, annihilated!

Howling Gale, Wind Blade formed.

Ignited, annihilated!

Blazing Light shone, Holy Light Descent!

Ignited, annihilated!

Spatial Ripple, Folding Blade!

Ignited, annihilated!

Earth, fire, water, wind, light, space!

The powers of the six great elements erupted, yet without exception, all were ignited by the Lotus Flower Flame and dispersed into nothingness.

Gu Yue stared at the scene before her in disbelief, her face somewhat pale.

Adding Spiritual Power and the darkness element she had yet to unleash.

Did that not mean the flames of the person before her could ignite every element, including Spiritual Power?

How could that be possible?

In truth, she could still barely understand Spiritual Power being ignited.

But even space could be ignited.

That left her completely unable to understand.

How could that be possible?

She repeated those words over and over in her heart, while an unprecedented dryness, painful enough to sting, rose in her throat.

It felt as though she had just swallowed a handful of blades whole.

On the other side.

After being pushed away by Lin Jin, Mu Xi had recovered and immediately become furious, intending to support him. Yet now, she too was stunned.

The moment Gu Yue casually formed a fireball and attacked, she had realized how powerful this girl was.

Powerful Spiritual Power, along with elemental control.

Those two points alone proved that the other girl's Martial Soul was anything but ordinary.

Because control over even a single element already signified a top-tier Martial Soul.

But.

Water, earth, wind, light, space...

Six whole elements!

Could such a Martial Soul even exist?

Mu Xi's understanding had suffered a tremendous blow, leaving her momentarily dazed.

What shocked her even more was.

So many elemental attacks had descended.

Yet her little brother had extinguished every one of them in such a simple manner.

Did her brother's Lotus Flower Flame possess such terrifying power beyond its supportive effects?

In an instant.

Mu Xi suddenly felt that the person she spent every day with had become somewhat unfamiliar.

Lin Jin was not actually having an easy time either.

Though neither had used a soul skill in this exchange, fighting only with the power of their Martial Souls.

Using the Lotus Flower Flame to annihilate so many elements still consumed an enormous amount of energy.

If Gu Yue were not still within the One Ring realm.

He truly might not have been her match.

After all, she was the Silver Dragon King rebuilding herself as a human. Her strength was truly formidable, and that was entirely understandable.

"You are powerful, but thinking you can defeat me with One Ring is wishful thinking."

Lin Jin stared into Gu Yue's eyes.

"Even with One Ring, I can defeat you."

Gu Yue pursed her lips, seemingly unconvinced.

Lin Jin believed her, though. He had said that only to provoke her deliberately.

He could understand why Gu Yue had attacked, but even a clay figure had some temper.

If he could anger her a little, naturally he would.

Thus, faced with Gu Yue's words, Lin Jin suddenly sneered.

"Heh heh."
