The air in the Training Hall seemed to be sucked out.
After Tang Wulin finished the discussion, Gu Yue slowly walked into the field.
She did not release any momentum, but when she stood still, the elemental energy of the entire venue began to flow quietly - that was the instinctive response of the seven elements to Silver Dragon King.
"Mr. Lin." Gu Yue spoke, Lin Ciyan's figure reflected in his purple eyes, "I'm asking for advice."
Lin Ciyan took a deep breath, Holy Radiance Qilin Martial Soul appeared behind him.
This time, he didn't hold anything back. Three Soul Rings, one yellow, one purple, and one black, rose from his feet and slowly rotated around him.
"Miss Gu Yue, please."
The moment the voice fell, Gu Yue moved.
Her movements were elegant and efficient, with her right hand raised and her fingers slightly spread.
"First round--Movement of Wind."
Dozens of cyan wind blades condensed out of thin air, but instead of attacking directly, they were suspended in the air, forming a strange formation.
The next second, these wind blades began to vibrate at different frequencies, making a sharp buzzing sound.
Sonic attack!
Lin Ciyan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately activated the first Soul Skill.
"Dawn Break Fist!"
The golden fist shadow blasted out, not to attack the wind blade, but to bombard the ground.
The force of the fist exploded on the ground, kicking up a large amount of gravel and dust, and at the same time the shock wave generated disrupted the propagation path of the sound wave.
Those sharp buzzing sounds suddenly became chaotic.
"Smart." Gu Yue said softly, raising his left hand at the same time, "Second round--Dual Dance of Fire and Earth."
The ground shook, and the hard rocks rose up from the ground, turning into three stone giants. At the same time, blazing flames ignited on the surface of the stone giants, turning into flaming stone giants.
They took heavy steps and outflanked Lin Ciyan from three directions.
Every step of the stone giant made the ground tremble, and the high temperature of the flames distorted the air.
Lin Ciyan did not go back.
His right arm was slightly shaken, and External Soul Bone·Source of Dawn was activated.
Pale golden light poured out from his right arm, condensing into a translucent light shield.
"Source of Dawn--Sacred Radiance Shelter!"
The light shield unfolded, protecting Lin Ciyan in the center.
The fists of the three flaming stone giants hit the light shield at the same time.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There were three muffled sounds, and the light shield trembled violently, but it did not break.
On the contrary, the golden lines flowing on the surface of the light shield began to absorb the attack energy of the flame stone giant.
"Absorption and transformation?" Gu Yue's eyes flashed with surprise.
This is exactly Source of Dawn Soul Bone's new ability after evolution - it can not only defend, but also absorb part of the attack energy and convert it into its own Soul Power.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Ciyan launched the second Soul Skill.
"Light Domain·Holy Radiance Sky Curtain!"
With him as the center, the pale golden Light Domain spread out with a radius of five meters.
Within Light Domain, the concentration of light elements increases sharply, suppressing all non-light attribute abilities.
The movements of the three flame stone giants obviously slowed down, and the flames on their surfaces began to dim.
But Gu Yue did not panic.
She made a seal with her hands on her chest, and her purple eyes were filled with silver light.
"Third round--Water Mirror Space."
Within the Training Hall, countless water mirrors suddenly appeared.
Every water mirror reflects the figure of Lin Ciyan, and the mirror surface is rippling, making people dazzled.
What's even weirder is that these water mirrors start to move and rotate, refracting light from all angles.
Light Domain's light is refracted and dispersed by the water mirror, and its power is greatly reduced.
At the same time, countless water arrows suddenly shot out from the water mirror, each one carrying a biting chill.
Lin Ciyan frowned.
He could feel that these water arrows were not ordinary water element attacks. They contained the power of some kind of "rules" - the trajectory of each water arrow was precisely calculated, blocking all his dodge angles.
It cannot be hardwired.
As he thought, First Soul Ring lit up behind him.
"The first Soul Skill variant--Dawn Refraction!"
Dawn Break Fist, which was originally going straight, suddenly split and refracted in the air, turning into dozens of golden streams of light, accurately meeting those water arrows.
"Puff puff puff puff--"
The sound of collision between water arrows and golden light was heard intensively.
But there were too many water arrows.
There were still a dozen or so that broke through the defense line and shot at Lin Ciyan.
At the critical moment, Lin Ciyan activated the skull skill.
"Skull of Radiant Dawn--Heart of Dawn!"
Between the eyebrows, a little golden light shines.
A powerful mental force field was deployed. After the water arrows entered the range of the mental force field, their speed dropped sharply and their trajectories deviated.
Lin Ciyan took the opportunity to turn sideways and narrowly avoided it.
"The fourth round--Light and Shadow Intertwining."
Gu Yue's attacks are not stopping.
She clasped her hands together, and when she separated them, her left hand condensed pure light, and her right hand condensed deep darkness.
Light and darkness, two completely opposite elements, coexist harmoniously in her hands.
The next moment, she threw the two elements.
The light turns into countless light needles, and the darkness turns into countless shadow blades.
The light needles and shadow blades intertwined into a large net, covering the entire venue.
This is no longer a simple elemental attack, but involves the application of the rules of the basic opposing elements of "light and darkness"!
Lin Ciyan finally felt the pressure.
He took a deep breath, and the three Soul Ring lights up at the same time.
"Third Soul Skill--Mystic Yellow Exquisite Armor!"
The light yellow energy armor covers the whole body, and there are mysterious lines flowing on the surface of the armor, exuding an aura as thick as a mountain.
At the same time, another effect of the second Soul Skill is activated.
"Grace of Bathing Light!"
The golden healing light surges out from the body and combines with Mystic Yellow Exquisite Armor to form a faint golden halo on the surface of the armor.
The net composed of light needles and shadow blades fell.
"Chi chi chi chi -"
Intense cutting sounds sounded.
Mystic Yellow Exquisite Armor vibrated violently, and the golden halo on the surface was continuously weakened, but the armor itself was not damaged.
Grace of Bathing Light's healing effect continued to repair the damage to the armor, barely maintaining balance.
But this is not the way to go.
Lin Ciyan's eyes flashed with golden light and he made a decision.
"External Soul Bone skill--Radiant Impact!"
The right arm Source of Dawn Soul Bone burst out with dazzling golden light, and a thick golden light beam suddenly shot out, directly hitting the center of the large network of light and darkness.
"Boom!"
The collision between the light beam and the large net erupted into a dazzling light.
Training Hall and Soul Guidance Barrier vibrated wildly and emitted a piercing alarm sound.
On the sidelines, Tang Wulin and others had to retreat further.
The light lasted for three seconds before dissipating.
In the center of the field, Lin Ciyan was kneeling on one knee. Mystic Yellow Exquisite Armor's surface was covered with fine cracks, which were being slowly repaired.
The Source of Dawn Soul Bone on the right arm is dim, obviously it consumes a lot of money.
On the opposite side, Gu Yue was also panting slightly, with fine beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead.
In the round of attack and defense just now, both sides used their real strength.
"Do you want to continue?" Lin Ciyan stood up and asked.
Gu Yue was silent for a moment and shook his head. "That's enough."
She knew very well that if the fight continued, she would have to use the original power of Silver Dragon King - that was not for sparring.
Moreover, in the battle just now, she already got the answer she wanted.
Lin Ciyan's Holy Radiance Qilin Martial Soul does suppress her elemental power to some extent.
But this kind of suppression is more of a "rank advantage" in nature rather than a crushing force.
If her elemental control can be further refined and reach the level of "ultimate elements", this suppression will be greatly weakened.
"I have learned about Mr. Lin's strength." Gu Yue calmed down his breathing and said seriously, "Holy Radiance Qilin Martial Soul's light and sacred attributes have a natural purifying effect on elemental attacks."
"My elemental power has been weakened by at least 30% in front of you."
"Miss Gu Yue's element control also opened my eyes." Lin Ciyan sincerely praised her.
"Especially the dual use of light and darkness, the state of unity of opposites, I am still far from reaching."
He told the truth.
Gu Yue's "Light and Shadow Intertwining" move just now perfectly blends the two opposing elements of light and darkness, forming an attack network that has both the penetrating power of light and the corrosiveness of shadow.
If it weren't for Mystic Yellow Exquisite Armor's strong enough defense and Grace of Bathing Light's continuous repairs, he might have been injured.
The two looked at each other and saw recognition in each other's eyes.
There is no winner or loser in this competition.
But both parties benefited greatly.
On the sidelines, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just now... it was so scary." Xie Xie wiped away cold sweat, "I feel like if I were standing on the field, the first round of wind blades could cut me into pieces."
"Gu Yue's element control has gone beyond the scope of Soul Elder." Ye Xinglan said solemnly, "And Mr. Lin... his Soul Skill combination was used perfectly, especially the combination of the defense power of the third Soul Skill and the healing effect of the second Soul Skill, forming an almost invulnerable defense system."
Tang Wulin said nothing, but the fighting spirit in his eyes became even more intense.
The battle just now gave him too much inspiration.
Soul Skill can be used like this.
Soul Bone Skill can be combined with Soul Skill.
Defense, treatment, and attack can form a perfect circle.
"Mr. Lin." Tang Wulin stepped forward with a twinkle in his eye, "Can you teach me how to use the combination of Soul Skill?"
Lin Ciyan glanced at him and smiled, "Okay. But Soul Skill combinations vary from person to person. You need to find a way that suits you."
In the following time, Lin Ciyan briefly explained some basic concepts used by Soul Skill.
He talked very practically - how to choose Soul Skill according to the opponent's characteristics, how to save Soul Power, and how to find counterattack opportunities in battle.
Gu Yue was also listening quietly, occasionally adding some tips on element manipulation.

[Slacking Influence+1400]
[Current influence: 103400]
After the discussion, everyone left Training Hall.
The sky has darkened, but the night view of Heaven Dou City is as bright as stars.
"What are Mr. Lin's plans for tomorrow?" Tang Wulin asked.
"Go to the Tang Sect branch." Lin Ciyan said, "I want to check some ancient books and information."
"Do you need my help?"
"No, I can just go by myself."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Ciyan walked alone on the way back to the hotel.
He recalled the battle just now and gained more insights in his heart.
"Gu Yue's element control is indeed exquisite. But if I use the power of Five Elements of Holy Radiance Qilin in conjunction with Soul Skill, I should be able to achieve better results..."
"But Five Elements's power is not yet proficient enough and needs more practice."
"As for Dragon Valley..."
He raised his head and looked at the night sky.
I'll go to the Tang Sect branch tomorrow, hoping to find clues.
If you can't find it, you have to find another way.
Back at the hotel, Lin Ciyan finished washing and lay on the bed.
Today's two discussions were quite consuming, but they also gave him a deeper understanding of the protagonists of this era.
Tang Wulin's fighting spirit is pure and his talent is amazing.
Gu Yue's element control is exquisite and unfathomable.
Others also have their own strengths.
"The protagonist group of this era is indeed good." Lin Ciyan closed his eyes, "But... I still have to walk my own path."
He gradually fell into sleep.
At the other end of the city, Gu Yue stood in front of the window, looking at the same night sky.
In the battle just now, the power of Holy Radiance Qilin demonstrated by Lin Ciyan caused a strange resonance in Silver Dragon King Bloodline in her body.
It was a feeling of... both intimacy and awe.
They are cordial because they are both top-notch beings.
Awe, because the essence of Holy Radiance Qilin seems to be higher than Silver Dragon King.
"Lin Ciyan..." She lowered her head and thought softly to herself.
In the silver eyes, seven colors of light flowed.
She knows more about Dragon Valley than she can tell.
But she can't tell those secrets yet.
On this night, many people have their own thoughts hidden in their hearts.
