She discovered:
Though this repulsive force was so faint it was almost negligible, and the elements could easily refuse it, it truly existed!
Aside from providing Soul Skills, weren't Soul Rings only decorative?
How could they possibly have some other effect similar to a domain?
Gu Yuena was somewhat puzzled.
At the same time, around Lin Yuan's body, black and white intertwined, the two sides clearly divided. A boundary formed between black and white; the black wanted to devour the white, while the white resisted and spewed outward, unexpectedly reaching some strange kind of balance.
As he watched the light of the white Soul Ring fill the entire training room, even Lan Xuanyu could not help being dumbfounded. His Soul Ring was white, and Lin Yuan's Soul Ring was also white, so why was the difference so huge?
It was practically the comparison between a model tank and a real tank. They were completely in different dimensions!
The next second, Lin Yuan took the initiative to attack. He rushed forward, swung his fist fiercely at Gu Yuena, and launched Shinra Tensei at her.
"Hmm, this Soul Skill... is it an air cannon? No, its principle is the same as that white Soul Ring just now."
Gu Yuena shifted slightly to the side and easily dodged the Shinra Tensei that, for Ling Yiyi, would have been impossible to evade. She immediately retreated.
The next second, Gu Yuena's right hand moved rhythmically through the air in an illusion-like motion. A cyan tornado was rapidly taking shape, and droplets of water element continuously merged into the storm.
Combination Soul Skill: Dragon Sucks Water!
Snap.
Gu Yuena snapped her fingers. In an instant, the long, slender waterspout seemed to let out a roar as it surged toward Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan held his breath and focused. Just as he was about to subconsciously use his spiritual power, he discovered that all of his spiritual power was being used to help Universal Pull stabilize his body.
"Why do I always subconsciously want to use spiritual power? What I wanted to train today was precisely using Shinra Tensei and Universal Pull with precision in battle without relying on spiritual power, wasn't it?"
Only then did Lin Yuan truly realize just how exaggerated his reliance on spiritual power had become.
Lin Yuan threw another ten punches in succession. Without spiritual power assisting with locking on, only barely two shots struck the waterspout.
But the waterspout's arrival was already unavoidable. It was too late for Lin Yuan to leave, and his entire body was swept into the waterspout.
"Teacher Nana, hurry and let go of Brother!" At this moment, Lan Xuanyu suddenly cried out in alarm. He came to Gu Yuena's side and tugged at her hand.
"Mm, this trial can be considered over. Among those his age, and even among everyone I've ever seen, no one has been more outstanding than him. The fact that he was able to launch an attack against me while resisting my pressure was already an unimaginable feat."
Just as Gu Yuena was about to release the waterspout, she suddenly let out a startled sound.
"Wait, something isn't right..."
"What's not right? Teacher Nana, hurry! Didn't you see that Brother has his eyes closed inside and isn't moving at all?!" Lan Xuanyu's voice was anxious.
"No, he seems to have entered... deep meditation. No, deep meditation isn't enough to describe it. It's more like... enlightenment?"
"Enlightenment?"
Lan Xuanyu's eyes were filled with confusion.
Inside the waterspout, feeling the frenzy of the wind element, Lin Yuan felt his consciousness blur slightly. At this moment, another voice appeared within his thoughts:
Spiritual power is clearly my own strength, and Voice of the Stars is also my own strength. Why make things harder for myself? Isn't that just stupid? Just then, the current version of himself appeared in Lin Yuan's mind.
But suddenly, another lazy voice sounded.
How is that stupid? Are you saying that once you have powerful strength, you stop training? If you only rigidly follow your original strength, it's bound to create a blind spot in your absolute power. Admit it. This is merely because you're unwilling to face the failure in your heart.
Lin Yuan looked over. That seemed to be... himself from last year, when he had just awakened his martial soul.
The current Lin Yuan replied:
What kind of talk is that? What do you mean, unwilling to face the failure in my heart? This is unnecessary. Would I really fall into this kind of desperate situation?
But aren't you in one right now?
That's why I'm saying it's an unnecessary situation!
It's very necessary! At this moment, last year's Lin Yuan suddenly became serious.
Does everything have to rely on spiritual power? Can't we rely on our own perception and judgment? Back then, when Yuanen Huihui faced the Starry Terror Claw Bear, did I really think Voice of the Stars would definitely work?
The other Lin Yuan suddenly froze.
And the other Lin Yuan continued:
You're right. We don't need to fall into this kind of desperate situation, because from beginning to end, no matter what enemy we face, we adapt to whatever comes. But now, this is a situation we've never faced before. If a truly powerful enemy does this, what are we supposed to do? Is there really no way?
Is there really no way? A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through Lin Yuan's mind!
Wait!
Scene after scene from the past surfaced in his mind, finally freezing on the moment on Tiandou Planet when he treated Lan Bing.
Universal Gravitation. Even a blade of grass, even a drop of blood, has gravity!
That's right! Everything possesses gravity!
Could it be that I misled myself all along? What truly determines my combat style isn't spiritual power, but... Universal Gravitation?!
At this moment, Lin Yuan, inside the waterspout, abruptly opened his eyes. He looked around, even at the waterspout itself, and he discovered he had come to a different world, though the things around him were still those elements and substances.
But... these elements and substances were all like the stars in the sky, as if they were calling to him.
This was Universal Gravitation!
He did not need to forcibly lock on to his target at all. He only needed to follow the gravity within it to launch an attack his opponent could not possibly dodge!
The next second, Lin Yuan suddenly broke free from the waterspout!
Under Gu Yuena and Lan Xuanyu's shocked gazes, he did not hesitate at all and punched out!
In an instant, Gu Yuena felt a tiny yet powerful surge of energy rush fiercely toward her!
Gu Yuena did not hesitate. Just as she was about to control the water element in the air and gather it into a water shield, Lin Yuan seemed to sense it in advance and, without the slightest hesitation, threw another punch!
Bang!
Gu Yuena's process of gathering water into a shield was actually interrupted by sheer force!
This was the Silver Dragon King, who was proficient in elemental control, and yet she had been suppressed during elemental manipulation!
No, this was not suppression. It was seeing through the trajectory of the elements in advance and reacting to it!
"What a strange tactic."
Gu Yuena's brows furrowed slightly. She had just been about to use the space element to pull away.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan seemed to sense it. Shinra Tensei activated with a jolt, and his right hand extended Singularity. Wherever it passed, faint ripples appeared in space, interrupting the target coordinates Gu Yuena had originally locked onto.
Gravity itself is connected to space-time.
"Auntie, I admit that when it comes to elemental control, I really am inferior to you," Lin Yuan said frankly.
Gu Yuena's gaze instantly turned strange.
"Do you even know how to use elements?"
