Gu Yue Vs Tang Wuling

The atmosphere on the playground instantly turned heated.

All eyes were focused on Gu Yue and Tang Wuling.

One was an Elemental Master with a martial soul capable of controlling six elements, while the other possessed a Blue Silver Grass martial soul with astonishing power.

Both were the top talents of Grade 1 Class 5.

Everyone was truly curious to see who would emerge victorious.

"I will not lose this battle, and I cannot afford to lose!"

I have reasons why I cannot lose!

Tang Wuling shouted in her heart, clenching her fists tightly, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

She had to prove that she was no worse than Gu Yue, and that she was the one most suited to stand by Cheng Duoyi's side.

Gu Yue looked at Tang Wuling, a flash of seriousness crossing her eyes as she thought: Tang Wuling, even though you have been with Little Yi for three years, my arrival will show you who the rightful one is! I must win this match; I want you to know who is the most suitable person to stay by Little Yi's side and protect him!

The two walked to the center of the playground and stood facing each other, thirty meters apart.

Wu Changkong stood between them, glancing at them with a hint of curiosity in his eyes; he, too, wanted to see which of the two would prevail.

"Finals, Gu Yue versus Tang Wuling. Stop when the point is made."

"Understood," the two said in unison.

"Prepare!" Wu Changkong said. "Begin!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Gu Yue launched the first attack.

Although it was supposed to be a friendly spar, she held nothing back, raising both hands simultaneously—a blue halo emerged from her left hand, and a red halo from her right.

It truly lived up to the saying: high damage on the left, high damage on the right.

"Ice Spike! Fireball!"

Ten sharp Ice Spikes and ten fist-sized Fireballs appeared out of thin air, carrying biting cold and scorching heat as they poured down toward Tang Wuling like raindrops.

Seeing this, Xie Xie swallowed hard.

"Brother Cheng, will they be alright fighting like this..."

He had clearly witnessed Gu Yue's strength and realized she had been holding back when she fought him!

Cheng Duoyi said, "They will be fine."

With Leng Xue'er and Wu Changkong present, how could anything go wrong?

At this moment, the surrounding students let out a cry of surprise; they had not expected Gu Yue to launch such a fierce attack right from the start.

Tang Wuling dared not be careless. She tapped her feet and lunged to the side like a cheetah, narrowly dodging the first wave of attacks.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Ice Spikes and Fireballs slammed into the ground, creating a series of loud explosions.

However, Gu Yue's assault did not stop.

"Wind Blade!"

Countless sharp, cyan Wind Blades materialized out of thin air and flew rapidly toward Tang Wuling.

Tang Wuling scrambled to roll and dodge, but several Wind Blades still struck her. Relying on her excellent physique, she didn't bleed and managed to endure the hits.

Tang Wuling had not expected Gu Yue to be this strong; she could only keep dodging, looking utterly disheveled.

Gu Yue's attacks came in waves like a rising tide, giving her no chance to catch her breath.

She didn't even have time to release her soul skills!

She was being suppressed throughout the entire fight!

Xie Xie stood to the side, watching Tang Wuling dodge in such a sorry state, and finally felt a sense of balance—so I wasn't the only one beaten so miserably by Gu Yue!

Just then, Gu Yue's voice rang out again.

"Tang Wuling, just admit defeat. You are no match for me; continuing this will only bring you humiliation."

Gu Yue's tone was calm.

Yet, it carried an unquestionable sense of confidence.

Tang Wuling stopped her dodging, panting heavily, her forehead covered in sweat.

She raised her head to look at Gu Yue, her eyes filled with stubbornness.

"I will not admit defeat!"

Though her voice was slightly hoarse, it was exceptionally firm.

At that moment, she saw Cheng Duoyi standing not far away.

Cheng Duoyi was looking at her, his eyes filled with encouragement, and he even gave her a "you're the best" gesture.

Tang Wuling's heart was instantly filled with strength.

No, I cannot lose!

I cannot lose in front of Brother Yi'er!

My journey has not yet ended!

I must become even stronger to protect Brother Yi'er!

Tang Wuling took a deep breath, a flash of determination crossing her eyes.

Hajiling, is this the power of bonds?

Tang Wuling raised her hand to brush against her storage Soul Tool, and a pair of heavy Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel Hammers appeared in her hands.

The moment the Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel Hammers appeared, Tang Wuling's aura changed instantly.

She was no longer that delicate little girl, but had transformed into a battle-hardened warrior.

"Do you think you can win just by holding two hammers? How naive," Gu Yue said indifferently.

"Earth Sink! Ice Ball!"

The ground beneath Tang Wuling's feet sank once again, pinning her legs so she could not move, just like Xie Xie, turning her into a sitting duck.

"Let's see how you dodge this time!" Gu Yue said coldly.

"Ice Spike! Fireball!"

Countless Ice Spikes and Fireballs poured toward Tang Wuling once more.

However, just at that moment, a roar suddenly rang out.

"Hah!"

Tang Wuling exerted force with both feet and instantly broke free; she was not like Xie Xie, whose strength was too weak to escape.

Her strength was formidable!

She swung the Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel Hammers in her hands as easily as if they were two stalks of straw.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel Hammers danced through the air, leaving behind trails of afterimages as they shattered every Ice Spike and Fireball aimed at her.

In Tang Wuling's eyes, Gu Yue's attacks were like unruly rare metals; she would use her own strength to show these untamable rare metals who their master was!

I! Am your master!

Sparks flew and ice shards scattered in every direction.

Like a god of war, Tang Wuling charged toward Gu Yue.

Although her Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass and not an agility-type, her speed was not slow at all; the ground beneath her feet trembled with every step, as if she were a ferocious beast!

"What?" Gu Yue's eyes widened, the first look of shock appearing on her face.

She had not expected Tang Wuling to break free so quickly, nor that she could deflect her Ice Spike and Fireball attacks with such ease.

Seeing Tang Wuling closing in, Gu Yue let out a shout, and the Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel Hammers in her hands descended with the force of Thousand Jun, smashing fiercely toward Gu Yue.

A silver light flashed on Gu Yue's body as she hurriedly dodged, simultaneously firing more Ice Spikes and Fireballs at Tang Wuling.

Tang Wuling easily shattered the Ice Spikes and Fireballs while seizing the opportunity.

"First Soul Skill, Bind!"

Tang Wuling let out a low cry, and a yellow hundred-year soul ring rose from beneath her feet as countless tough vines of Blue Silver Grass erupted from the ground, coiling toward Gu Yue like venomous snakes.

"Teleport!"

Gu Yue's figure vanished from the spot instantly, narrowly avoiding the Bind.

As for the Blue Silver Grass, it had just emerged from the earth only to strike at empty air.

Tang Wuling hurriedly controlled the Blue Silver Grass to attack Gu Yue, determined to ensnare her; if she could just bind her, Tang Wuling was confident she could secure victory with a single strike!

As it turned out, Gu Yue's Teleport, much like her Fireballs and Ice Spikes, could be used in rapid succession, making it truly difficult for the Blue Silver Grass to catch her.
