Floating Through the Mortal World, He Only Watched!

However, Luo Yanglu did not think Huo Yuhao already possessed Spiritual Power control capable of rivaling a Titled Douluo. He simply took it as the effect of his Third Soul Skill.

Not much time had passed since Huo Yuhao obtained his Third Soul Ring, and Luo Yanglu did not know its effects. Besides, the other party's Ice Silkworm spirit soul was mutated, and it had given him the Divine Skill Spiritual Detection Sharing. Who could guarantee that no other bizarre soul skills would appear?

Perhaps it was some special soul skill that enhanced Spiritual Power control...

After dealing with Gu Yuena's first wave of attacks, Huo Yuhao tapped the ground lightly with the tip of his foot, and his body shot out in an instant, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him as he charged straight toward Gu Yuena. His astonishing speed made Xie Xie suspect that he, an Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master, was a fake.

Relying on his extraordinary speed, Huo Yuhao arrived in front of Gu Yuena almost instantly. His right hand clenched into a fist and drove straight toward her abdomen.

But this seemingly certain strike missed.

With a flash of silver light, Gu Yuena had already appeared ten meters away.

"Space Element?"

Wei Xiaofeng's eyes widened.

When facing Huo Yuhao, he was convinced. That Soul Power Level alone had robbed him of any thought of challenging him. But the others had not. He had originally wanted to secure third and fight for second, to compete with Gu Yuena for superiority. Yet now that the battle had reached this point, he had completely given up on that idea.

Gu Yuena had used a full six elements, including even an uncanny element like space. If he wanted to defeat her, there was simply no hope!

Gu Yuena glanced in Luo Yanglu's direction, took a deep breath, and swiftly formed a complex hand seal in front of her chest. The first and second soul rings revolving around her body suddenly lit up.

A mass of fiery-red light bloomed in front of her. At the same time, a mass of cyan light swirled up around it.

Wind and fire, two attributes that complemented each other. The cyan Wind Element continuously strengthened the might of the flames, making them burn fiercer and fiercer. In the blink of an eye, a one-meter-tall Wind Fire Double Tornado took shape before her, radiating a suffocating, berserk aura.

And that was not all. Gu Yuena clearly had not continued mobilizing her soul power, yet the Elemental Power in the air gathered over on its own, feeding the might of the wind-fire tornado.

The watching students cried out in alarm and hurriedly backed away.

Seeing this, Luo Yanglu was equally astonished. "Heart of Elements?"

Soul Masters with Elemental Attributes were extremely rare. If they wanted to become powerful, they had to comprehend the Heart of Elements—that was, the true essence of the elements.

Mastering the Heart of Elements meant a Soul Master could truly fuse with their own Martial Soul. They no longer relied only on their own soul power, but could also directly mobilize Elemental Power from the air, greatly increasing their attack and defense.

A Soul Master who could master the Heart of Elements at this age—and the Heart of Elements of two different elements at that—was something he had never even heard of!

At this thought, Luo Yanglu secretly rejoiced that he had become Class One's teacher.

Having drawn in so much Elemental Power, the current wind-fire storm's might was already no weaker than the strongest soul skill of a Four Rings Battle Soul Master. If Gu Yuena's Spiritual Power failed to control it and it erupted, an ordinary Soul King would not be able to save her opponent in time.

He was not worried about Yuhao, but if a teacher who did not know Gu Yuena's strength rashly arranged for her to fight someone else, and that opponent angered her, the consequences would be hard to predict.

Huo Yuhao looked at the attack before him and understood that Gu Yuena did not want to drag this out. She intended to end this spar as quickly as possible. His eyes flashed, and a faint, chilling light appeared over his palm. His vast Spiritual Power and the soul power of Ultimate Ice began to intertwine, and his entire person filled with a transcendent air.

Just a little... of my own stuff.

When the firestorm arrived before him, Huo Yuhao swung out this palm strike, into which part of his essence, energy, and spirit had been condensed.

Boom!

A violent Elemental Storm erupted. Under Huo Yuhao's deliberate control, the chill of Ultimate Ice did not spread. All of it canceled out the Fire Element storm, and the Wind Fire Double Tornado was annihilated along with it.

Silver light flashed, and Gu Yuena appeared in front of Huo Yuhao, dozens of Ice Cones hovering around her body and exuding cold air.

But before she could throw the Ice Cones, she was affected by the lingering spiritual conception in this place. Her thoughts froze for an instant, and it was as if a painting unfurled before her eyes.

In the vast mortal world, a person's entire body was shrouded in gauze of cold hues. He watched the people coming and going around him, as though he stood in another spacetime, witnessing the passage of years and the changes of the world...

Floating through the mortal world, he only watched!

"Thanks for going easy on me." Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena as she stopped moving and did not continue attacking.

Neither of them had shown their true strength, nor could they possibly fight with their true strength. Huo Yuhao understood what Luo Yanglu wanted to know, and when he had closed in just now, he had already tested it out on his behalf. It was best to stop here.

Gu Yuena came back to herself and took a deep breath. The Ice Cones around her turned into cold mist and dispersed.

Just now, she really had been affected by that conception. If she had been attacked, it would likely have been very difficult for her to react.

But she did not care about victory or defeat. What she cared about more was the conception contained in that soul skill. Was that the world in this God King's eyes?

It felt rather far from what she had imagined. She had thought he would be far more involved in the world...

"Are you two all right?"

Seeing the two of them stop, Luo Yanglu walked closer and looked them over. When he discovered they were not injured, he finally relaxed completely.

Only then did he have time to think carefully about the battle just now.

Huo Yuhao choosing to withstand the firestorm head-on had been beyond his expectations. What he had expected even less was the final palm strike Huo Yuhao had thrown.

Those students could not understand it, but Luo Yanglu understood what that strike was.

It was a self-created ultimate art!

To fuse one's understanding of the Martial Soul, soul power, qi and blood, Spiritual Power, and even one's own will and emotions into one, turning it into the combat ultimate art most suited to oneself—this was the path that Titled-level experts would all gradually explore.

The Unyielding Staff Technique of their Spirit Pagoda's Qian Gu Clan, the Crimson Dragon Nine Forms of Shrek's Crimson Dragon Douluo, and so on all belonged to this category. The difference lay in what had been fused into them.

But no matter what, those ultimate arts were the most suitable for the Soul Masters themselves, and they could also grow stronger together with the Soul Masters.

No wonder Yichen said he couldn't teach you. His self-created soul skill doesn't suit you either, so this was the reason. Creating a Self-Created Combat Technique at this age... you really are something, Yuhao. It's just that you actually added that kind of otherworldly conception into it. You still need to interact properly with other people.

Luo Yanglu sighed inwardly.

And then there was Gu Yuena, who had comprehended the Hearts of two elements. These two were complete and utter monsters!

Still, this was the Spirit Pagoda's future successor. Better a freak than anything else!

After a moment of emotion, Luo Yanglu did not forget the purpose of having the two of them fight. He looked at Gu Yuena and smiled.

"You understand your Martial Soul very well, and you know how to make use of your strengths, but it seems you haven't undergone enough basic training. Your combat experience is lacking."

"When Yuhao got in close just now, he actually had a way to restrict you and end the battle right there. But he understood what I meant and didn't use Simulation or interference soul skills, letting you dodge with the Space Element."

"Your movements at the time showed no intention of dodging at all. You were planning to rely solely on your Martial Soul's own abilities, weren't you? Then did you ever consider what you would do if that method failed?"

Gu Yuena: "..."

So that was it. Was this the key point?

Strictly speaking, she really did not have much real combat experience, nor had she seen much of the world.

After all, she had lain in the Lake of Life and never come out. Where would real combat experience or worldly knowledge have come from?

It was just that, when it came to god-level battles, what mattered more was laws. The main principle was that enough force could send the brick flying; so-called experience could not be said to be useless, but it was not as useful as one might imagine either.

However, Gu Yuena did not show what she was thinking and humbly listened to the advice.
