In the training grounds, Xu Yue and Wu Zhangkong stood facing each other.
"Teacher Wu, are you sure you won't use your battle armor?"
Battle intent burned in Xu Yue's eyes as he stared at Wu Zhangkong.
"If you don't mind being summoned by Principal Yu Zhen," Wu Zhangkong said calmly, "I can spar with you in my battle armor!"
"Forget it!"
Xu Yue shook his head, abandoning the idea.
Wu Zhangkong was right. Once battle armor was used, the intensity of the fight would inevitably rise to the Soul Douluo level.
By then, it would be difficult for either side to hold back their power.
Even a slight clash could easily tear down a building.
He had no desire to visit the principal's office again because of that.
"Sister Xiaoyan." Watching the arena, Wei Xiaofeng spoke excitedly. "Who do you think will win?"
"Of course it'll be Brother Yue!"
Xu Xiaoyan answered without hesitation. Others might not know about Xu Yue's training over the break, but she knew it all too well.
If other Soul Elders or even Soul Ancestors underwent the same training, ninety-nine percent of them would not last a single day.
Then she turned to the girl beside her.
"Gu Yue, what do you think?"
"I think..." Gu Yue had just begun to answer when her beautiful eyes narrowed. "It's started!"
In the training grounds, the battle erupted in an instant.
Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings rose beneath Wu Zhangkong's feet. A biting chill radiated from the Frost Sky Sword in his hand.
Eden's Star silently floated at Xu Yue's side.
Four black ten-thousand-year soul rings rose beneath him once more.
"First Soul Skill, Frost Mark!"
Wu Zhangkong lightly pointed the Frost Sky Sword forward, sending several ice-blue sword beams shooting out.
