Where Was the Silver Dragon King We Were Promised? She Nearly Lost a Two-Ring Fight Against a One-Ring!

As the days passed, the Class Promotion Tournament drew nearer, and Wu Zhangkong's special training for the three of them grew increasingly harsh.

Classes were in session that day when Wu Zhangkong had everyone run laps.

Just then, a girl slowly walked across the intermediate division's field from the direction of the school gate.

She looked about the same age as the others. She wore a long green dress and green thigh-high stockings.

She was not exceptionally beautiful, only delicate-looking. Yet her long black hair and pale purple eyes gave her a very clean, fresh impression.

Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, and Yun Xiao were running when Xie Xie turned his head to look. His cheeks instantly flushed red.

Tang Wulin and Yun Xiao were taken aback by Xie Xie's reaction, and both turned to look as well, just in time to see the girl slowly approaching.

Wu Zhangkong also glanced at the girl, but his gaze lingered for only a second before he turned back to continue watching the three boys.

The girl's gaze did not linger on them. She merely cast a discreet glance at Tang Wulin before calmly walking up to Wu Zhangkong.

"Hello, Teacher. My name is Gu Yue. I'm here to enroll, but I missed the registration deadline."

The girl's voice was soft, and she looked directly at Wu Zhangkong without being affected in the slightest by the imposing aura of this cold-faced teacher.

Wu Zhangkong paused, tilting his head slightly as he gave her a sidelong glance. "What does missing the registration deadline have to do with me? I'm not responsible for admissions."

"I know. That's why I wanted to ask whether you could give me a chance and let me join Class Five."

Gu Yue looked at Wu Zhangkong, her words sincere enough. After all, she had come here for Tang Wulin.

Wu Zhangkong looked at her in silence. He had originally intended to refuse outright, but after sweeping his gaze over the three boys, he slowly said, "You can study in our class if you want, but you'll have to defeat Yun Xiao first."

As Wu Zhangkong spoke, he glanced toward the three boys. They all stopped running, while Tang Wulin and Xie Xie both looked at Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao wiped the sweat from his face. Though he looked somewhat confused, he still quickly ran over.

"Defeat him, and you can join our class." Wu Zhangkong then looked at Yun Xiao. "Fight her. If you win, you won't have to train today."

"Huh? No need, Teacher Wu. I like training very much. It improves my body a great deal." Yun Xiao froze for a moment, then shook his head.

Seeing Yun Xiao's bluntly honest expression, Wu Zhangkong's mouth twitched slightly. He glared at Yun Xiao and said helplessly, "Is that the point? If I tell you to fight, then fight. If you win, you'll run ten more laps than them."

"That works." Yun Xiao nodded seriously, then looked at Gu Yue.

Not only were the students struggling through their laps stunned by that response, even Gu Yue was taken aback.

She studied the boy before her, her brows knitting slightly.

The boy before her looked ordinary, yet he somehow gave her an extraordinarily intense sense of danger.

It was a sense of danger that made even her God King-level divine consciousness faintly tremble.

Gu Yue found this somewhat unbelievable. The attention she had originally placed on Tang Wulin suddenly shifted to this boy.

As Yun Xiao took up a fighting stance, Gu Yue also steadied herself.

Confidence filled Yun Xiao's face as he suddenly stepped forward, his body erupting with blinding light.

At that moment, all the students' attention was drawn over. Most of them had long since lost any interest in running.

But as the blinding light flared up, quite a few people cried out in pain.

The light had appeared too suddenly, and it contained a terrifying power that made it impossible to look at directly. Even Wu Zhangkong could not stare at it, much less these students.

Looking at the nearly dazzling radiance, Gu Yue frowned slightly and abruptly retreated a step.

Then the earth suddenly trembled, and an earthen wall rose up, followed by a heavy boom.

Yun Xiao smashed straight through the earthen wall. He stood there, his eyes filled with determination.

Scorching flames gathered in the boy's palm, and a Flame Longblade appeared in his hand before he slashed forward fiercely.

Yun Xiao was extremely fast. Especially under the cover of that blinding light, Gu Yue could clearly feel her elements being affected.

As the Silver Dragon King, she was the ruler of the elements.

Every element she wielded could be used as an ultimate power, and the most terrifying kind at that.

Yet even under such circumstances, her elements were actually being suppressed.

As Yun Xiao lunged forward and the flaming blade slashed out, a terrifying heat wave rushed toward her.

Gu Yue retreated and slightly raised her hand. Four fireballs condensed in the air before smashing into Yun Xiao.

The flames struck him, setting his school uniform ablaze. Yet Yun Xiao's expression did not change in the slightest. His determined eyes remained full of gravity and calm.

He charged forward through the burning flames. White light flickered over the Flame Longblade in his hand, and as it enveloped him, the flames on his body instantly vanished.

The change had happened suddenly, and Yun Xiao's flaming slash was fast enough, but Gu Yue's reaction speed was even faster.

Though she had avoided it, Gu Yue continued retreating, her eyes full of vigilance and disbelief.

Gu Yue could clearly tell that the boy before her lacked combat experience. It could even be said that he had practically none at all.

Yet even so, with his terrifying resilience in enduring the burning flames head-on, he had actually charged all the way in front of her.

Seeing this, Gu Yue's brows furrowed slightly before she stopped holding back.

She raised her palm, and ultimate icy power suddenly descended. Terrifying ice condensed around Yun Xiao, completely trapping his body in place and rendering him unable to move.

Only then did the match, which had lasted less than twenty seconds in total, come to an abrupt end.

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Gu Yue before shifting his gaze to Yun Xiao.

The boy's legs had been frozen in ice, and a horrifying chill spread through him. Yet he did not even furrow his brow. Though his expression carried a trace of pain, he remained calm overall.

Gu Yue stood there with a rather unpleasant expression as she watched flames ignite in the boy's hand and slowly melt the ice she had condensed.

She had two full soul rings. It would have been one thing if a two-ring fighter had struggled so badly against a one-ring fighter.

But she was a God King, the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of soul beasts.

Even after suppressing her power to two rings, she had nearly been overturned by a one-ring brat. How could Gu Yue not be shocked?

Of course, Gu Yue did not know that a white-haired boy beside her was watching her with great interest.

She knew even less that the reason this fight had been so difficult was because Chen Ye had lifted Yun Xiao's restrictions beforehand, allowing him to wield both Purification and flame.

Normally, Yun Xiao would only be able to grasp these two great authorities after reaching three rings.

Unlike Chen Ye, he had not been born with mastery over the Dragon of Imagination's nine great authorities. He could only acquire authorities as his strength increased.

Thus, what Gu Yue had truly faced was Yun Xiao after receiving Chen Ye's enhancement.

Under those circumstances, once Yun Xiao also reached two rings, Gu Yue might not necessarily be able to defeat him.
