The Might of Godspeed! Can You Last Two Minutes Against Me?

Bai Yuan walked beside Gu Yuena, half a step behind, turned his head and lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of provocative laughter.

"A two-player battle? It feels like it's been ages since I played with my junior sister."

Gu Yuena didn't stop walking, her purple eyes staring straight ahead, her face expressionless.

Bai Yuan leaned closer, his voice as soft as a whisper.

"Junior sister, be careful later, let's see how long you can last?"

Gu Yuena stopped and turned to look at Bai Yuan.

There was no anger or annoyance in those purple eyes.

There was only a cold, condescending light.

"Arrogant. Even though I'm injured, you can't insult me."

Looking into those purple eyes burning with flames, Bai Yuan was not afraid at all; instead, his smile deepened.

He liked her just the way she was.

"Come on, you two fight it out and see who's stronger."

"I'll be the referee."

Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance.

Today, we need to fight a good battle.

Let's see how much combat power we've reached during this period.

Bai Yuan stood in the center of the Training Ground, his Dawnmaker hanging casually at his side, the hem of his clothes fluttering gently in the morning breeze.

He watched Gu Yuena walk into the arena, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"Junior sister, I hope you can hold on for two minutes."

Leng Yaozhu leaned against the wall of the Training Ground, and her lips twitched slightly when she heard these words.

This kid is way too arrogant!

He was indeed formidable; his talent, temperament, and fighting spirit were the best she had ever seen in years.

But he wanted to fight Gu Yue, not those students from the Eastsea Academy.

She had witnessed Gu Yue's growth firsthand, from his rough control of elements to his refined skill, and from his raw combat awareness to his mature understanding.

Since her injury, although she hasn't said it, she has been secretly working hard to prove herself.

What we fear most is an elemental Soul Master like Gu Yue; the higher their Soul Power Level, the stronger their ability to sustain combat.

They can unleash elemental attacks continuously, overwhelming and endless.

Other Soul Master would find it difficult to gain an advantage against them.

No matter how strong Bai Yuan is, he wants to finish off Gu Yue within two minutes.

She... didn't quite believe it.

Gu Yuena stood opposite Bai Yuan, and upon hearing this, her purple eyes narrowed slightly.

Two minutes?

So confident?

What did he do this time?

Thinking back to these past few days, Bai Yuan has been leaving early and returning late every day; I wonder what he's been busy with.

He always seems to be in a great mood when he comes back.

When asked, he just smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Now she understood; he had gotten some benefits outside and thought he was invincible.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, her long silver hair swaying gently in the still air, and six Elemental Light shone at her fingertips.

Arrogant!

You think I'm easy to bully just because I'm injured?

She looked up at Bai Yuan, flames flickering in her purple eyes.

You will pay the price for your arrogance!

Leng Yaozhu leaned against the wall, watching the two children stand at attention, neither speaking up to stop them nor announcing the start.

She was waiting, waiting for them to make their own move.

Bai Yuan's smile deepened, the Dawnmaker held horizontally in front of him, the pale golden patterns on the blade gleaming slightly in the morning light.

Gu Yuena slightly bent her fingers, and the six Elemental Light spun in her palm, spinning faster and brighter.

Something suddenly broke in the quiet room.

It was the air, the tension between the two of them, stretched to its limit.

Bai Yuan moved his feet and approached like Gui Mei.

Gu Yuena reacted extremely quickly.

Six Elemental Light wove together to form an Elemental Barrier in front of her.

The hardness of ice, the weight of earth, the resilience of light, and the deflection of wind.

Several elemental properties are layered upon each other.

It was even more solid than the barrier inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.

However, Bai Yuan did not use the Dawnmaker.

He spread his right hand, revealing dark gold lines on his palm.

The moment the claws were extended, the air in the Training Ground seemed to freeze.

Leng Yaozhu leaned against the wall, her eyes brightening slightly.

This child is much more eager than usual to use his Soul Bone right off the bat.

Was he provoked by Gu Yue's elemental control, or did he simply want to show off in front of that girl?

Gu Yuena's pupils contracted slightly, having witnessed the power of this Soul Bone, which blasted five deep trenches into the ground.

Knowing it was true, the oppressive feeling still sent a chill down her spine when those dark golden claws actually swung towards her.

It's not Soul Bone, it's the aura of the user, Bai Yuan!

However, she was the Silver Dragon King, and had seen all sorts of things. A mere Soul Bone couldn't frighten her.

Gu Yuena gritted her teeth and poured more Soul Power into the Elemental Barrier.

The ice layer thickened, the earthen walls overlapped, and the light shone even brighter.

Dark golden claws tore at the barrier.

Cracks appeared on the barrier, spreading outwards from the claw marks like a dense spider web.

Gu Yuena's expression changed slightly. Wind elements exploded beneath her feet, and she retreated rapidly, simultaneously removing the shattered barrier.

She cannot allow it to withstand a second blow, otherwise, the moment the barrier shatters, she herself will be the one to suffer the backlash.

Bai Yuan didn't chase after her; he stood there watching her retreat.

Dark golden claws were slightly open at his sides, and a smile curved his lips.

"Junior sister, your barrier is getting weaker and weaker."

"Does getting injured make even the elements soften?"

Gu Yuena gritted her teeth and did not answer.

She knew Bai Yuan was trying to provoke her and make her lose her temper, but she was indeed quite shaken by his claw strike.

The Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Palm Bone is specifically designed to break through all kinds of defenses.

Her Elemental Barrier was utterly inadequate in its presence.

But she couldn't back down; if she did, he would dominate her and make her even more arrogant.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath, suppressing her surging blood and qi, and crossed her hands in front of her.

Fire and wind elements erupted simultaneously, transforming into a roaring fire dragon that lunged towards Bai Yuan.

This is not a test, it's a full-scale attack.

Bai Yuan looked at her now that she was finally getting serious.

His smile deepened, and instead of retreating, he charged forward to meet the fire dragon head-on.

Dark golden claws tore through the flames, and the power of the Core Flame emerged on his body, with dark red patterns appearing and disappearing in the firelight.

Leng Yaozhu leaned against the wall, watching the figure weaving through the flames, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

This child was even more secretive than she had imagined.

Just a moment ago, his aura changed, becoming cold and deep, like a sharp blade hidden in its sheath.

That wasn't the power of the Soul Bone, nor was it the Soul Power and combat skills he usually displayed.

Rather, it was a completely different kind of power she had never felt from him before.

Just how many secrets does this kid still have?

Leng Yaozhu, simply watching the two figures clashing fiercely in the Training Ground.

Bai Yuan experimented with the power of the Soul Bone on Gu Yuena, tearing through her elemental defenses one claw after another.

From barriers to fire shields, from ice walls to wind walls.

None could withstand a second blow from his Dark Gold Sharp Claws.

Gu Yuena was forced to retreat repeatedly, her long silver hair flying wildly in the Elemental Storm, her purple eyes filled with anger and resentment.

But she didn't give up. No matter how sharp or brutal Bai Yuan's claws were, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Leng Yaozhu's lips curled into a slight smile.

Go ahead and fight.

Let her see just how far these two kids can go.

Gu Yuena gritted her teeth, preparing to launch the next attack, when the figure in front of her suddenly disappeared.

It vanished into thin air; before she could even react, a warm hand was already pressed against her back.

The warmth of her palms seeped through her thin training clothes, making her back stiffen.

Bai Yuan's voice came from behind her head, so close it seemed to be right next to her ear, his breath brushing against her silver hair.

"Junior sister, where are you looking?"

Gu Yuena suddenly turned around, and the wind element exploded in her palm, turning into countless wind blades that poured down behind her.

There was no one there; it was empty, save for the sharp hissing of the air torn apart by the wind blades.

She froze, her purple eyes widening.

Impossible, she clearly heard his voice.

He was right behind her, how could he not have hit her?

I'm here.

The voice came from her left, Bai Yuan Dawnmaker hung casually at her side.

His clothes remained perfectly still, as if he had been standing there waiting for her since the start of the battle.

Gu Yuena's pupils dilated violently.

When did he go there?

Her spiritual power remained locked onto his presence.

But in that very instant, his presence vanished completely from her perception.

"What kind of speed is that?"
