The Silver Dragon King Gains Wisdom! The Arrival of the Star Luo Delegation!
A few days later.
Bai Yuan had barely taken a few steps out of the Training Ground when he heard Gu Yuena's voice behind him.
"Bai Yuan, if you leave again, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Bai Yuan stopped in his tracks, his lips twitching slightly.
These past few days, ever since he demonstrated his spatial abilities to her, she's been pestering him to spar with her.
Every day it's not just about "showing me how you set up that Spatial Mirror."
It means, "Bai Yuan, let's have another match."
He has been accompanying her for three consecutive days of extra training.
I finally managed to find an excuse to leave early today, but she still caught up with me.
He turned around and saw Gu Yuena standing at the edge of the Training Ground.
Her purple eyes sparkled, carrying a kind of expectation she rarely showed.
She looked at him and blinked:
"Let's have another match, really!"
"I've figured something new out!"
"Just one match, and I promise I won't bother you after it's over!"
There was a hint of eagerness in her voice.
Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile at her unusually humble demeanor.
He sighed inwardly.
If the Silver Dragon King showed this kind of expression in front of Soul Beast...
It's estimated that this will allow them to rethink the perceptions of countless subordinates.
Oh no!
The sky has fallen!!
Is this still their master?
Bai Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and nodded at her:
"Okay, but I have one condition."
Gu Yuena tilted her head slightly:
"What are the conditions?"
"If you lose, you'll have to do your classwork and stuff."
Gu Yuena's expectant expression froze instantly.
She glared at him.
Bai Yuan looked at her expression, his tone carrying a deliberately drawn-out composure:
"You're not really keen on it? Then forget it."
He made a move to turn and leave.
"Etc!"
Gu Yuena's voice came from behind.
She tried hard to suppress the clenching of her teeth.
"I... I promise you."
She took a deep breath and silently added a sentence in her mind:
What!!
Let the great Silver Dragon King do your human homework!!
You have a way to die!!!
Bai Yuan turned around and looked at her expression of bearing humiliation and hardship, as if he had succeeded in something:
"Besides--"
"Besides?!"
Gu Yuena raised her voice slightly, then forcefully suppressed it.
"Alright, seeing how serious my junior sister is, as her Senior Brother, I should take responsibility."
Bai Yuan gestured with his chin towards the Training Ground.
"Come on, let me see what new thing you've come up with."
The two walked back to the Training Ground, one after the other.
Gu Yuena walked ahead, already silently planning how to get back at him for the anger she had just suffered.
Bai Yuan followed behind her, his steps measured.
It was as if they had already guessed what she would do next, but they weren't in a hurry to expose her.
"Bring it on."
"Let me see what my silly junior sister is researching?"
Gu Yuena stood at the other end of the Training Ground, having completely processed the little incident that had just occurred.
She raised her hand, elemental light swirling at her fingertips, and spoke a few paces faster than before, with an undisguised seriousness:
"Hmph, you're the idiot!"
You're finished! Just you wait, I'll surprise you!
She seemed to realize she had said something wrong, her voice faltered, and then she blushed slightly.
"..."
Hahahaha!
"Isn't it amazing, junior sister? You should read more books!"
Gu Yuena blushed slightly as she spoke.
"None of your business!"
"... You've amazed me!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Get to the point!"
She raised her hand, and the elementalist immediately initiated the attack.
Fireballs and ice spikes condensed simultaneously, hurtling towards her location from the left and right respectively.
Bai Yuan, seeing her actions, asked in confusion:
"Attack yourself?"
"What kind of act is she putting on?"
Then, just as he was about to reach her, his figure vanished from his original spot, swapping places with Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan appeared where she had just been standing.
The two elemental attacks were already upon them.
Gu Yuena stood where he had just been standing, and her voice came from behind her:
"Hmph! Bai Yuan, get down on your knees!"
Bai Yuan dodged the fireball to the side.
The remaining elements were cut and shattered by his Space Severing, splitting into more than a dozen pieces in all directions!
He looked down at the shallow mark left by the wind blade at his feet, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:
"Oh?"
Gu Yuena looked at his calm and composed demeanor, as if the exchange just now had not exceeded his expectations at all.
She frowned slightly, as if trying to find a flaw in his expression.
But he did it too quickly, as if nothing had happened.
"As expected of the master of the elements, he has become so proficient in space in such a short time."
"It seems that Douluo Continent is the one that harmed the Silver Dragon King!"
Gu Yuena stood still.
His gaze fell on the Training Ground, as if he were reconfirming something.
He mentally reviewed the ineffective attack.
That shouldn't be the case.
She clearly felt the instant the elements shifted.
Bai Yuan did not unfold the Spatial Mirror as he did last time.
She didn't teleport, yet her attack still missed.
It was as if something was quietly cut off the moment the element reached him.
There was no sound, no trace.
She couldn't even pinpoint the exact shape of that force.
Her spiritual power slowly spread through the air.
Scan through the path the elements just followed.
Then, she was in the traces left by those elements.
She sensed an aura she had never encountered before.
Cut!
The edges, cut by space, are as neat as knife cuts.
The elements themselves didn't even have time to react before they dispersed.
Those attacks didn't reach Bai Yuan before they did.
It had already dissipated in some way that she didn't fully understand.
Her pupils contracted slightly.
A feeling she couldn't quite explain well welled up from the bottom of her heart:
Is this a spatial attribute attack?
Isn't it said that spatial attributes can only be used for teleportation and storage?
She is the Silver Dragon King.
I have never seen this usage before in all these years.
Bai Yuan looked at her thoughtful expression:
"Not bad, junior sister, you've grasped it in just a few days."
That's clever.
I won't call you an idiot anymore.
"Snort."
Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze, as if she had come back to her senses from her thoughts.
"What was that just now? A spatial attack?"
Bai Yuan did not answer immediately.
He just stood there quietly, as if waiting for her to process what had just happened.
Guess.
Bai Yuan looked at her forced composure, his voice tinged with barely suppressed amusement.
"Ugh! You're so annoying!"
Gu Yuena raised her voice slightly.
I'm going to fight you to the death!
She clenched her fists, as if she were really ready to rush up and fight again.
But his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the direction Bai Yuan had just cut.
Bai Yuan followed her gaze and looked over:
"That's actually a pretty good move."
He raised his hand and lightly traced a line in the air with his fingertips.
An extremely thin Space Rift appeared out of nowhere.
It silently glided across a stone brick at the edge of the Training Ground.
The stone bricks were neatly separated in the middle.
Gu Yuena's gaze was fixed on the cut, and after a moment, her eyes brightened slightly:
"My God, you're a genius!"
She silently etched that image deep into her mind.
Just then, a message flashed on the Soul Tool.
Bai Yuan glanced down, then looked up:
"The Star Luo Delegation has arrived and wants us to come over; there might be a competition."
He paused, as if he had thought of something, and his gaze fell back on Gu Yuena.
Are you going or not?
Gu Yuena had already withdrawn her gaze:
"Go."
"I've been holding back my anger for days with nowhere to vent, so this is a good opportunity to practice on them."
