"What are you talking about?"
Gu Yue A cold voice came, and the three boys followed it.
Xu Xiaoyan changed into a light blue dress. The skirt just reached the knees. The fabric glowed with a faint silver light under the moonlight, as if sprinkled with a layer of starlight. The two light blue braids were untied and re-braided into a loose fishbone braid, draped diagonally on the shoulders, with a small hair tied at the end. The star pendant swayed gently with her steps. Her usually pink and jade features were a little girlish and sweet under this outfit. There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked much softer than during the day. However, her eyes still contained the awe and nobility that belonged to the night and were given by the star wheel.
Gu Yue walked half a step behind Xu Xiaoyan. Her long black hair was not tied into a ponytail, but fell naturally. The tail was slightly buttoned in and swayed gently at the waist. She changed into a black waist-length trousers. The skirt was simple and neatly cut, which made her already cold temperament even more elegant. Her black hair and black eyes became deeper and deeper under the moonlight, and she wore a thin silver necklace on her fair neck. The pendant was a drop-shaped transparent crystal, which occasionally reflected a ray of cold light.
The expressions of Tang Wulin and Xie Xie completed the switch from "normal" to "stunned" within 0.5 seconds.
Xie Xie's mouth opened slightly, and his dark green eyes stared directly at the two girls walking over. The amount of information being processed in his mind obviously exceeded his current computing power.
Tang Wulin's reaction was not much better. He blinked his big eyes, which were more beautiful than women, and scanned Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan twice. His Adam's apple rolled slightly and he subconsciously took half a step back.
Zhong Shenxiu also turned his head.
His eyes first stayed on Xu Xiaoyan for less than a second, then calmly glanced at the fishbone braid and the silver light on the skirt, then moved to Gu Yue, and then took it back.
There is no change in expression.
There was neither surprise nor embarrassment in the light golden vertical pupils, not even the most basic "take another look". It felt like looking at a tree on the edge of the playground, or a cloud in the sky - you saw it, that's all.
Gu Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly.
She noticed the trajectory of Zhong Shenxiu's gaze - first looking at Xu Xiaoyan, then at her, then... and then it was gone. There was no pause, no dodging, not even the pretentious stiffness that adolescent boys often have in front of beautiful girls.
It's pure "seeing" without any emotion.
Gu Yue pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, then relaxed it again.
Xu Xiaoyan didn't notice these details. She jogged two steps and came to the three of them. The star pendant on her fishbone braid swayed gently in the moonlight, with a sweet smile on her face, "How was your chat? We weren't late, were we?"
"No, no." Xie Xie finally came to his senses and waved his hands quickly, his voice half a tone higher than usual, "It's just right, it's just right."
As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but drift towards Gu Yue - a black waist-cinching dress, a silver necklace, and long, shiny black hair hanging around her waist.
Xie Xie gave himself a hard slap in his heart: Xie Xie What are you looking at? Have you forgotten the feeling of being burned yesterday?
He quickly withdrew his gaze and stared at the ground, as if a flower suddenly grew on the playground.
Tang Wulin was much calmer than Xie Xie. He cleared his throat and said, "Shenxiu just taught us a lesson."
"Class?" Xu Xiaoyan tilted his head and looked at Zhong Shenxiu curiously, "What class?"
"Basics." Tang Wulin said these two words in a particularly serious tone, "Practice the basics to the extreme."
Gu Yue's eyes fell on Zhong Shenxiu. He stood there, still holding Sky Light Dragon Spear in his right hand, and the light golden dragon pattern on the gun body slowly flowed under the moonlight. His standing posture was very casual, with the tip of the gun pointing to the ground, and his center of gravity slightly tilted to his left foot. His whole person showed a relaxed but invulnerable state.
Gu Yue has lived in the world of Soul Beast for so many years - although she has been sleeping most of the time - she has seen too many so-called "geniuses". Those cubs who have high hopes for the tribe, those who are born with powerful bloodline descendants, and those who can master complex skills in a short period of time.
But they all have one characteristic in common: reliance on talent.
The more talented people are, the easier it is to ignore the basics. Because they don't need to practice the basics to the extreme to easily defeat opponents who have practiced hard for many years. And this "no need" often becomes their biggest weakness.
Gu Yue suddenly felt that he had one more reason to kidnap him.
While this idea was still swirling in my mind, Tang Wulin's voice suddenly rang.
"Xiaoyan, didn't you say you wanted to show us the difference in your Martial Soul at night?"
Tang Wulin turned to look at Xu Xiaoyan with a bit of expectation in her eyes. During the joint training this afternoon, Xu Xiaoyan's Star Wheel Ice Staff's performance during the day could only be considered average - the control of the ice chain was good, but the intensity and duration of Soul Skill were obviously not as good as the others. But she said that night is her home court.
Xu Xiaoyan nodded, but then looked around hesitantly.
The light on the side of the playground close to the grove was dim. Most of the light from the street lamp was blocked by the shadow of the trees, leaving only a vague gray. Under this kind of light, let alone the changes of Martial Soul, even the faces of people could not be seen clearly.
Gu Yue noticed her gaze, said nothing, and just raised his right hand.
A ball of golden light condensed in her palm. It was not an aggressive blazing kind, but a gentle glow as soft as moonlight. The light elements flowed through her fingertips, and the faint golden halo spread, illuminating the surrounding area of several meters.
Xie Xie glanced at Gu Yue subconsciously, then quickly looked away and continued to stare at the ground.
Tang Wulin looked at the halo twice more, and secretly sighed in his heart - Elementalist, this Martial Soul is really amazing, he can even do things like lighting so elegantly. Unlike his Blue Silver Grass, who can do nothing but pester people.
Several people took advantage of the light in Gu Yue's palm and looked at Xu Xiaoyan in unison, with curiosity in their eyes.
Especially Xie Xie. He was left psychologically scarred by Zhong Shenxiu's Sky Light Dragon Spear, and physically scarred by Gu Yue's Fire Dance Whirlwind. Now he has an extraordinary thirst for knowledge about "how strong can other people's Martial Soul be?"
Xu Xiaoyan took a deep breath and walked to the open space a few steps ahead.
She raised her head and glanced in the direction of the sky. The grove in the college was not too leafy and could not block out the sky and sun like in Spirit Ascension Platform. Starlight fell from the gaps between the branches and leaves, twinkling in the night sky, as if someone had scattered a handful of diamonds.
She nodded slightly, with a hint of nervousness in her voice, but more of a eagerness to try. "I'll start."
As soon as she raised her hand, a circle of Yellow Soul Ring rose from under her feet.
The slender ice staff then appeared in her hand. The body of the staff was crystal clear, reflecting a faint blue halo under the light of Gu Yue's palm. The star wheel at the top stopped quietly, and the lines of the six-pointed star were clearly visible.
