Six patterns formed a wheel

When I returned to the college, it was still not dark.

Yuan Yu hadn't even changed out of his team uniform when Liu Erlong ushered him into the Training Ground behind the mountain. Tang San, Flender, and Zhao Wuji followed along, and Ma Hongjun had originally wanted to watch the fun, was also called in as a sparring partner.

Sun Wheel Blade hangs in the center of the Training Ground.

The appearance remains the same as they are familiar with. The blade is long and narrow, the guard is simple, and the six patterns of water, fire, lightning, wind, rock, and mist are all sunken into the interior, leaving only three dark patterns of sun, moon, and space on the surface.

The change occurs after the blade.

The Nine-Slot Round Wheel is more solid than before. The six lit sections form a complete inner ring, with light flowing slowly. With each rotation, the positions of the six elements are swapped.

Tang San reached out and approached the wheel, but did not touch it directly. The six bright grooves looked like independent patterns, but when Soul Power was executed, it would pass through the same center. Water and fire were the furthest apart, thunder and wind were the closest, Rock Pattern were at the bottom, and Rosy Cloud Pattern covered the outside of the other five patterns.

This structure is far different from ordinary sword-type Martial Soul.

Flender circled the Sun Wheel Blade twice. "How much can I sell it for?"

Liu Erlong kicked him in the shin. "If you ask me one more question, I'll hang you up at the academy gate and sell your tickets."

"I'm assessing the value of Martial Soul."

"Shut up."

Tang San ignored the two and took out Blue Silver Grass to wrap around the hilt of his sword. "Let's try Scattered Form and reassembling first."

Yuan Yu raised his right hand.

Six Elemental Light Streams emanated from the tip of the blade, sliding outwards along the Blue Silver Grass. Tang San immediately activated Parasitism, and tiny blades of grass continuously grew around the streams of light, attempting to shrink their space of movement.

The wheel rotated one revolution.

The shimmering water merged into the Mist, Lightning leaped outwards on the wind, and rock dust and Fire Star swerved around from the other side. The six streams of light re-condensed five zhang away, and the Sun Wheel Blade fell into Yuan Yu's palm.

"The distance has increased by two zhang." Tang San retracted his Blue Silver Grass. "The speed has also increased."

"Again."

Zhao Wuji took a step forward, and his fourth Spirit Ring lit up. Gravity Enhancement landed on the Sun Wheel Blade, and the surrounding ground immediately sank.

Yuan Yu dispersed his Martial Soul once more.

The Elemental Light Streams slowed down noticeably under Gravity, with the rock dust sinking the most, while the water and mist were forced to remain in place. In the past, when faced with this situation, he would have needed to first retract his Martial Soul into his body before releasing it again.

After the Six-Pattern Inner Wheel rotated, the Wind Pattern first lifted up the rock dust, and then the Thunder Pattern opened a narrow path within the range of Gravity. The stream of light drilled out from the gap and condensed into a knife shape behind Zhao Wuji.

Success on the second attempt.

Yuan Yu didn't rest and immediately tried a third time. The wheel's rotation speed was a bit slower, but the six streams of light still dispersed smoothly and reassembled at the other end of the Training Ground.

On the fourth attempt, the inner wheel stopped after turning just two places.

The Sun Wheel Blade only parted at its tip before immediately returning to its original shape. Yuan Yu's arm went numb, and his Martial Soul trembled a few times as well.

"Three times in a short period of time," Tang San wrote on the paper. "The fourth attempt will fail. It's best to allow ten breaths between each attempt to allow the inner energy to recover."

"It's enough compared to before."

Yuan Yu gripped the hilt of the sword, attempting to switch elements directly.

As the Water Pattern lit up, a layer of clear water appeared on the blade. In the past, when switching from water to fire, a portion of Soul Power needed to be withdrawn to prevent the two elements from clashing in the meridians. After the Six-Pattern Inner Wheel was formed, the clear water flowed along the wheel into the wind groove, circled halfway, and then entered the fire groove. The water on the blade then turned into crimson gold flames.

The entire process took only one breath.

The lightning, wind, rock, and mist elements switched in sequence, each increasing in speed by about twice.

Zhao Wuji picked up three stones of different sizes and threw them into the air at the same time.

Yuan Yu first used Wind Pattern to support the first stone. As the blade turned, the wind flow immediately transformed into Lightning Flash, shattering the second stone. The third stone fell on his head, and Rock Pattern surged out along the back of the blade, forming a tilted stone shield that blocked all the debris towards the open ground.

The three elemental changes are linked together in the same set of movements, without the obvious pauses that were common in the past.

"This is the most useful thing in actual combat." Zhao Wuji kicked the stone shield. "The opponent thinks you're going to use wind, but your next strike might be lightning. By the time they get used to the lightning, the Rock Wall will be right in their face again."

Yuan Yu retrieved the stone shield. "It will be even faster in the future."

"Don't test me yet. I'm afraid you'll dismantle the Training Ground and then make me fix it."

Ma Hongjun, watching enviously from the side, asked, "Could I also put my Phoenix in there and spin it around a couple of times?"

"Able."

As soon as Ma Hongjun approached, Yuan Yu raised his sword sheath.

"Pay ten Gold Soul Coin first."

"The Dean accepts money, why are you accepting it too?"

"I learned it from him."

Flender nodded in satisfaction. "That's what you call educational achievement."

Liu Erlong raised his hand and shoved the teacher and student to the sidelines.

After testing the Scattered Form and elemental switching, Tang San then used the Spiderweb Restraint Yuan Yu. The Six-Pattern Inner Wheel could help the Sun Wheel Blade escape, but it couldn't make Yuan Yu's body disappear as well. He still needed to use the Rock Pattern to create a space first, and then use flames to burn through the thinnest spider silk.

This result put the teachers at ease.

Tang San then arranged for Ma Hongjun to release Phoenix Fire Line from different directions. After the Sun Wheel Blade Scattered Form, it could pass through a line of fire, but it could not stay in the flames for long. Elemental Light Streams still belonged to Yuan Yu's Martial Soul, and attacks exceeding his own tolerance limit would also cause damage.

After Yuan Yu's third reorganization, Ma Hongjun suddenly added fuel to the fire from behind.

The Sun Wheel Blade failed to disperse again, Yuan Yu could only turn around and use the water flow to block it. Steam exploded in their faces, blowing their hair into a mess.

"You're really going to hit me?"

"Teacher Zhao told me to push my limits."

Zhao Wuji had already retreated behind Liu Erlong: "I didn't say that."

The growth of the Myriad Phenomena Origin Embryo is rapid, but it still has clear limitations. It does not allow the Yuan Yu to ignore control, nor can it increase the attack range out of thin air. During the Scattered Form, the Six Elemental Light Streams cannot launch sword techniques; if the enemy uses a large-scale Soul Skill to cover a five-zhang area, the repositioning location will still be sealed off.

Yuan Yu was very satisfied with this.

The path of the Martial Soul has begun, and the Sun Wheel Blade is transforming from a fixed weapon into a Magic Treasure Embryo. The current Six-Pattern Inner Wheel is only the first internal structure. Once the sun, moon, and space patterns are all lit up, the Nine-Slot Round Wheel will be qualified to detach from the blade and form the complete Myriad Phenomena Wheel.

That step is too early.

He's only level 69 right now, and hasn't even gotten his Seventh Spirit Ring yet.

Tang San pointed to the outside of the wheel. "The Sun Pattern also lit up just now."

Yuan Yu looked down.

A layer of pale gold floated on the Sun Pattern on the surface of the blade. In addition to the fire attribute, Huo Wu's Sunflare Shines with intense light and heat. After Myriad Phenomena Origin Embryo filtered out Huo Wu's Soul Power, the remaining trace of light was caught by the Sun Pattern, but did not merge into the Six-Pattern Inner Wheel.

Yuan Yu tried to push the Sun Pattern.

The golden light shone for only a moment before fading away again, and no new breath inheritance appeared in his mind.

"Still missing the Seventh Trial."

Tang San nodded. "Then don't rush to touch it."

As everyone was tidying up the Training Ground, Qin Ming walked over from the front yard, holding information about the next round of matches.

"Canghui Academy has submitted its list."

Ma Hongjun took it and glanced at it. "Seven people, all with Gem Martial Soul?"

"They've been holding back in the previous rounds," Qin Ming said. "Shi Nian has disappeared, Canghui's coach has been replaced. This afternoon, none of the seven of them participated in any training."

Tang San turned to the last page of the list.

There were seven official players, but no substitutes.

Yuan Yu sheathed his Sun Wheel Blade.

"It seems they intend to use all their cards at once."

The next day, seven students from the Canghui Academy stepped onto the arena.

Seven gems of different colors appeared simultaneously in their palms.
