"This Jiang Xia is rather promising. His teacher is a core member of the Spirit Pagoda responsible for the Spirit Ascension Platform project. If I want to use the Spirit Ascension Platform as a reference to build a more complete Myriad Beast Platform in the future, I will probably need this Han Tianyi, Elder Han."
"And his own Broken Dream martial soul can let me overcome my disadvantages in the early and middle stages, without having to worry at all about exposing my talents."
People were always willing to tolerate combat power created through cooperation.
Just like Martial Soul Fusion Skills, which could unleash strength one or even two ranks beyond the users' own, and were still accepted.
Gu Yue felt that, with the support of Jiang Xia's Broken Dream, she could absolutely perform that way.
And such a performance could be credited entirely to Jiang Xia.
Anyone who did not believe it could try for themselves.
This could be verified!
Moreover, Gu Yue was not thinking only about the present.
In theory, the amplification Jiang Xia's martial soul provided her could remain effective indefinitely.
At every stage!
Yes, according to Gu Yue's deductions, this amplification from Jiang Xia would always work on her, even after she attained nine rings, or even recovered her peak strength.
However, if Jiang Xia's Soul Power rank was far below Gu Yue's own, the proportion of the amplification would decrease.
"Truly astonishing."
Gu Yue had originally thought she had already reached the pinnacle of Elemental Control.
At least on this Douluo Star, she had no need to study Elemental Control further.
Yet Jiang Xia's appearance had still shattered her understanding.
Her techniques for Elemental Control were indeed sufficient, but her strength had yet to reach its limit. She had not brought all those techniques to the heights they should have reached.
"The realm of dreams is even more profound than I imagined."
"If I have the chance in the future, I could spare this Jiang Xia's little life..."
The great Silver Dragon King felt Jiang Xia had value and had already secretly decided to give him a chance to live in the future.
That feeling of not needing to think was simply too addictive.
Discard her brain, empty her thoughts, and merely issue commands, and someone would carry them out for her.
It simply felt far too good!
Meanwhile, Jiang Xia was also marveling.
"Gu Yue's control over the elements really does exceed the norm, even more than I imagined. It isn't that she's hiding her spiritual power or Soul Power, but that she's genuinely ahead in technique."
If Jiang Xia had to make a comparison, ordinary soul masters with Elemental Control used Soul Power to drive elemental power, while Gu Yue used Soul Power to resonate with elemental power.
One used Soul Power to forcibly bind elemental power and make it do what they wanted.
The other used Soul Power to resonate with elemental power. Her Soul Power was the elements, and the elements were her Soul Power. She only needed to circulate her Soul Power according to her wishes, and elemental power would move along with it.
Of course, Jiang Xia could not be certain whether this was an innate instinct of the Silver Dragon King.
But without a doubt, this method of resonating with the elements to use and control them stood a step above the normal method.
"I'll have to find ways to work with Gu Yue more often in the future and feel out her methods when she manipulates the elements."
Tang Wulin watched the two exchange smiles, his face blank with confusion.
He felt there was something wrong with these two.
But he could not say exactly what was wrong.
Watching Gu Yue exchange meaningful looks with Jiang Xia, the new student, Tang Wulin felt an inexplicable irritation rise in his heart.
Damn that guy!
He involuntarily developed a trace of hostility toward Jiang Xia.
Even he himself did not understand why he felt this way.
Jiang Xia was very sensitive to changes in emotion and immediately noticed the hostility coming from Tang Wulin.
He looked toward Tang Wulin.
Faced with Jiang Xia's direct gaze, Tang Wulin, who was inexplicably feeling hostile toward him, instinctively felt guilty.
After all, they had just worked together to defeat Teacher Wu, and Tang Wulin was actually very happy.
And Jiang Xia had played a crucial role in that battle. He had been the true core, the absolute leader.
Yet Tang Wulin had developed hostility toward him at precisely this moment, which could easily give people the wrong idea.
So Tang Wulin felt very guilty and immediately reined in his hostility.
Jiang Xia could no longer sense any hostility, but he still gave Tang Wulin a long, searching look.
That look left Tang Wulin's heart bobbing up and down with unease.
But remembering that Jiang Xia's ability was only support, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xia joined Class Zero.
Because Wu Zhangkong had failed in two consecutive attempts to put Jiang Xia in his place, he felt he probably had little authority in front of him.
Thus, during the training that followed, he could be stern with Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and the others, but was very lenient with Jiang Xia.
Teaching was like that. When even the teacher felt he had lost his authority in front of a student, that student effectively gained special privileges.
Every day, Jiang Xia sat cross-legged and entered his dreams, constructing his Broken Dream.
In fact, his Broken Dream connected to space, sensing the changes in the powers of Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and the others.
Unfortunately, these changes in reality are still too troublesome for me to capture.
Jiang Xia thought to himself.
During his cultivation over the previous few years, he had always comprehended the transformations of all things within the Spirit Ascension Platform. All the transformations there had underlying code. Although he could not use them in reality after comprehending them, he could directly simulate them with his Broken Dream inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Most importantly, every change within the Spirit Ascension Platform was easier to perceive.
This was because his Broken Dream and the Spirit Ascension Platform's virtual space were things of the same dimension. They were fully connected, and he could penetrate every aspect of it.
At present, Jiang Xia's Broken Dream martial soul could not penetrate real space to that extent.
Not only could its penetration not reach the necessary level, but Jiang Xia also had to restrain himself to avoid being discovered by Tang Wulin and Gu Yue.
Under all these restrictions, Jiang Xia decided to give up on comprehending the powers within the two of them during his regular cultivation.
"I'll wait until we get a chance to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform together."
Such an opportunity was not difficult to find.
The academy invested enormously in Class Zero.
Every week, it provided Class Zero's students with one opportunity to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Access to the Spirit Ascension Platform was not easy to obtain. Not only was it expensive, but securing it consistently essentially required the academy to step forward and cooperate with the Spirit Ascension Platform.
It was only because Eastsea Academy was Eastsea City's foremost academy and represented the city's dignity, with the support of Eastsea City's entire political system behind it, that the Spirit Pagoda had agreed.
There was no helping it. With so many cities in the Skysea Alliance and a Skysea Alliance Tournament held every three years, Eastsea City's consistently mediocre results were simply unacceptable for a major city.
Now, taking advantage of Wu Zhangkong's presence to establish Class Zero and make a push in the Skysea Alliance Tournament was not merely Eastsea Academy's idea, but a consensus throughout Eastsea City's governing system.
With a trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform once a week, Jiang Xia had ample opportunities to fight alongside Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and the others inside it.
When the time came, he could take the opportunity to comprehend their powers.
After cultivation ended, the members of Class Zero left the academy one after another. Gu Yue stopped Jiang Xia, having some matters she wanted to discuss with him privately.
After leaving the academy, Tang Wulin walked toward the Eastsea City Blacksmith's Association, occasionally looking back in Class Zero's direction as he wondered what Gu Yue might be saying to Jiang Xia.
