Gu Yue's Restraint

On the Soul Fighting Platform, Su Chen looked at Gu Yue opposite him, her expression solemn, and also released his martial soul.

Dark golden light condensed in his palm, quickly transforming into a small tower—the Soul Suppressing Pagoda.

Immediately after, three purple soul rings rose from his feet, circling his body and moving slowly.

Su Chen was not underestimating Gu Yue.

Quite the contrary, it was precisely so that Gu Yue could fully display her strength that Su Chen only used his first martial soul.

Fighting against opponents of a higher level, Su Chen could easily win without even using his martial soul.

Using the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was Su Chen's way of respecting Gu Yue.

"Hmm, as expected, three thousand-year soul rings."

Gu Yue took a deep breath, suppressing the tremor in her heart, and her gaze became more focused.

Su Chen's strength was still within her expectations, and she naturally wouldn't be intimidated before the fight.

The next moment, Gu Yue moved.

Her body seemed to transform into the core of elements.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Several scorching fireballs instantly condensed and hurtled towards Su Chen.

"What, why is she a fire-attribute soul master? She doesn't look like one?"

"Such powerful flame attacks, I can feel my cheeks burning even from this distance!"

"You're just blushing from arousal."

"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier!"

"..."

"Third Soul Skill, Pagoda Soul Protection."

Facing such overbearing attacks, Su Chen didn't dodge. He simply released his third soul skill.

An invisible, transparent barrier rapidly expanded with the Soul Suppressing Pagoda at its center, enveloping him entirely.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The fireballs collided with the barrier, flames exploding and letting out bursts of sound.

But Su Chen's barrier remained unmoved.

"Wind Blade—"

"Swish, swish, swish—"

Immediately after, dozens of sharp wind blades condensed, tearing through the air and flanking Su Chen from the right.

"Wind attribute, she's actually a dual-attribute soul master!"

The students watching exclaimed again upon seeing this.

But it wasn't over yet.

As soon as the wind blades had formed, a chill suddenly descended from above, and icy cones condensed simultaneously, casting down with bone-chilling coldness.

"Crack, crack, crack—"

Then.

Sharp rock spikes erupted from the hard ground without warning, piercing directly at Su Chen's feet.

The entire Soul Fighting Platform seemed to be caught in an elemental frenzy, drawing exclamations from the students watching below.

"Four elements!! What kind of monster is this? How can one soul master control so many elements? Could she have the legendary four-born martial soul??"

The students from Class One below kept exclaiming, clearly unable to comprehend what they were seeing.

Let alone the students, even Wu Zhangkong was dumbfounded.

As everyone knew, most soul masters had a single attribute. Dual-attribute soul masters were extremely rare, and three-attribute soul masters had never appeared before, let alone a soul master with four attributes.

Moreover, Gu Yue's various attributes were mutually repulsive. If not controlled properly, it could lead to repulsion and self-detonation, which was an extremely dangerous matter.

On the Soul Fighting Platform.

Facing this overwhelming elemental bombardment, Su Chen didn't even move his feet.

The wind blades cut through, only emitting sharp friction sounds, still unable to leave any trace on Su Chen's barrier.

"Swamp!!"

Gu Yue unleashed her ability, forming a large area of mud swamp beneath Su Chen's feet.

Unfortunately, Su Chen's "Pagoda Soul Protection" was all-encompassing. The swamp could not penetrate Su Chen's shield at all.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding—"

Simultaneously, ice needles rained down, shattering against the barrier's surface and dissipating into ice crystals.

The pursuing rock spikes struck the barrier, shattering into powder as if hitting the hardest metal.

Even though both were thousand-year soul skills, their power differed vastly.

Su Chen's soul power foundation was profoundly deep, far exceeding his peers, tempered through countless trials until it was as solid as substance, comparable to a Soul Emperor.

Gu Yue's soul power cultivation, however, was mostly boosted by her innate power. Its quality and quantity essentially remained at the level of a Soul Grand Master.

Su Chen only needed to mobilize about one-thousandth of his soul power to easily neutralize the offensive Gu Yue had used one-tenth of her soul power to unleash.

His barrier was as steady as a rock, not even a ripple appearing.

"You!!"

"What kind of skill is only defending? Are you a turtle!!"

Gu Yue's small face flushed with anger as she pointed at Su Chen and shouted, clearly exasperated.

She hated this feeling of being stifled the most.

Especially when expectation and reality diverged so greatly.

She had thought that even if she couldn't defeat Su Chen, she could at least force him to use fifty to sixty percent of his strength.

She never imagined.

Despite her all-out effort, she couldn't even touch his clothes.

Su Chen heard her words but didn't get angry. Instead, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards, and he smiled, "Alright, then be ready~"

Before he finished speaking, his second soul ring suddenly lit up.

"Second Soul Skill—Soul Lock!"

"Swish swish swish—"

In an instant, dozens of illusory chains shot out from all directions of the pagoda, instantly weaving into a massive net that descended upon Gu Yue, sealing off all possible spaces for her to dodge.

"Hmph, a mere trick."

Gu Yue snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

The next moment, the space around her body suddenly rippled like water.

Just as several chains were about to touch her, her figure abruptly vanished from her original spot.

The next moment, she appeared about ten meters away.

Spatial Teleportation, this was one of her most prized life-saving skills.

However, Gu Yue's expression was not relaxed at this moment.

Because each teleportation consumed a huge amount of her energy.

She had dodged the first wave of chains, but the crisis was far from over.

"Swish swish swish—"

Su Chen seemed to have merely flicked his finger casually.

The Soul Suppressing Pagoda's light intensified.

This time, it wasn't ten or a hundred, but tens of thousands.

The dense chains, like a bursting flood, intertwined and coiled, covering every inch of the Soul Fighting Platform in the blink of an eye.

The entire arena seemed to be occupied by a dark golden thicket of death, leaving no room for maneuver.

"Impossible!! How can you have so much soul power!!"

Gu Yue's pupils contracted as she saw the sky-obscuring, sun-blocking torrent of chains.

She felt her understanding of the world being overturned.

The scale of soul power chains released simultaneously, in her opinion, was enough to instantly drain a normal Soul King-level soul master.

And Su Chen was clearly just a three-ring Soul Elder!

How could his soul power reserves be so immense?

"Swish swish—"

In the moment Gu Yue was stunned, she was completely entangled by the chains, wrapped like a zongzi, unable to move an inch, even her mouth was covered.

"Wuwuwu—"

Gu Yue glared at Su Chen angrily.

She seriously suspected Su Chen was doing it on purpose.

Who silences someone during a fight!

"Alright, the battle is over."

Wu Zhangkong waved his hand, announcing the result of the match.

Su Chen also released the chains.

Gu Yue went limp on the ground, her whole body aching. After a while, she recovered and looked at Su Chen with a gaze full of resentment.

Wu Zhangkong's gaze fell upon Gu Yue, admiration in his eyes. "Hmm, Gu Yue, you're quite good. But I'm curious, what is your martial soul? To be able to control so many elements."

"Hoo..."

Gu Yue stood up, casting a deep glance at Su Chen before turning to Wu Zhangkong. "My martial soul is the Elementalist, capable of controlling multiple elements," she replied.

"Oh, I see."

Although Wu Zhangkong had never heard of this martial soul before, he understood its general nature.

The strength of this martial soul lay in its ability to control and combine multiple elements, leading to countless variations in soul skills.

However, it also had its drawbacks: it couldn't specialize. Gu Yue couldn't imbue any single element with a soul skill, nor could she unleash the full potential of a single element.

Still, with proper cultivation, she could be very powerful.

"Alright, starting today, you are the vice-class monitor of Class One, Year One."

Wu Zhangkong nodded gently, not only passing Gu Yue's assessment but also directly appointing her as vice-class monitor, acknowledging her strength and talent.

Wang Jinxi, standing far away, heard this and his face immediately darkened.

Because he was originally the vice-class monitor.

However, he dared not say anything.

Gu Yue was a Soul Grand Master, and with two thousand-year soul rings, only a monster like Su Chen could suppress her.

Given the terrifying elemental abilities Gu Yue had just displayed, even if they all attacked together, they would be crushed into dust.

"Thank you, teacher~"

Gu Yue beamed a brilliant smile upon hearing this.

She found this teacher, Wu Zhangkong, to be somewhat different from others, not quite adhering to the rules.
