Railgun

"Good timing!"

He let out a low shout, and instead of retreating, he took half a step forward. He raised his right hand, and the ring on his middle finger, forged from black iron, instantly lit up with dazzling lightning.

Lightning Refinement Shaping

The high-frequency, high-temperature lightning vortex instantly enveloped the black iron ring. The hard metal melted into a ball of crimson liquid iron in just a few breaths, hovering steadily above his palm, spinning around.

The next second, lightning flashed in Bai Yushan's eyes.

First Soul Skill: Electromagnetic Clarity

An invisible electromagnetic wave swept over his body in an instant, and the surrounding magnetic fields and current trajectories were clearly imprinted in his mind. His brain worked frantically, calculating the angles of the magnetic field arrangement at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people.

Electric current generates magnetism, and magnetic field concentrates force.

Layer upon layer of magnetic potential energy rapidly accumulates behind the iron bead, like a fully drawn bow, propelling the small iron bead forward with tremendous force.

"Railgun!"

Buzz--!

A piercing whistling sound suddenly exploded, making people's eardrums ache.

The crimson iron ball, crackling with violet-blue lightning, moved so fast that it left only a faint afterimage. The surrounding air was distorted by the intense heat, as if the very fabric of space itself was about to be pierced through by this attack.

With unparalleled momentum, the iron bead met head-on with the charge of Gu Yue, which was imbued with six elements.

Boom--!!

A deafening explosion rang out, shaking the entire training ground violently three times.

Elemental turbulence and lightning Impact flew everywhere, leaving ice shards, sparks, and rubble scattered all over the place. A half-meter-deep trench was carved into the ground, stretching from the foot of Bai Yushan to more than ten meters away.

Gu Yue's elemental shield shattered instantly, barely holding for a moment. The undiminished force of the Impact slammed into her, causing her to groan, a trickle of blood escaping her mouth. Her eyes closed, and she slumped backward, unconscious.

"Gu Yue!"

Tang Wulin exclaimed in surprise, his face changed, and he raised his leg to rush over to catch the person.

But someone is much faster than him.

A purple shadow flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, Bai Yushan appeared below the trajectory of Gu Yue's fall. He stretched out his arm, steadily embraced the girl's waist, and easily caught her in his arms.

It felt soft and warm to the touch, with a faint chill. It was completely different from when it was baring its fangs and claws and fighting earlier.

Bai Yushan looked down at the person in his arms with their eyes closed. Their silver hair fell loosely, covering most of their face, their long eyelashes were curled, and their complexion was a little pale. The silver scales on their neck had slowly faded, restoring their usual fair and delicate skin.

He chuckled, his tone casually mocking. "You think you can get angry with me with such little skill? You're really spoiled."

After saying that, he picked the person up and turned to walk towards the entrance of the training ground. His steps were not fast, but steady, and the person in his arms did not sway at all. Purple-blue lightning flickered under his feet, dissipating most of the force of the landing.

The remaining three stood there, looking at each other, still somewhat bewildered.

Tang Wulin's outstretched hand remained frozen in mid-air. Looking at Bai Yushan's retreating figure, he felt a pang of unease, yet secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, judging from her appearance, Gu Yue shouldn't be seriously injured...

Xie Xie scratched his head and muttered to himself, "Wow, that's too powerful... Just how much skill does Bai Yushan have up his sleeve? Even Gu Yue couldn't withstand a single move from him?"

Although he knew Bai Yushan was strong, he didn't expect him to be this strong. He felt that he couldn't even withstand a single move from Gu Yue after his bloodline erupted, but in Bai Yushan's hands, he was still defeated in one move.

The gap between people is just too vast.

Xu Xiaoyan covered her mouth, and only after a long while did she lower her hand, whispering, "Bai... you're amazing."

She now completely understood why the academy had placed all their hopes for the seven-person tournament on him. His strength was simply overwhelming in the junior division.

Wu Changkong, who had been silent until now, slowly walked over. His gaze fell on the figure that had disappeared through the doorway, his brows furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed.

He could tell that Bai Yushan had stopped using his strength at the end.

Despite the terrifying force of the Impact, most of it was dissipated at the moment of contact. Gu Yue was only knocked unconscious and suffered minor injuries, which would heal in a couple of days.

This kid looks crazy, but he actually has some sense of restraint when he goes at it.

"Alright." Wu Changkong withdrew his gaze, looked at the three who were still in a daze, and said calmly, "That's all for today's training. Be at the training ground on time tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he turned and left, his white robes fluttering, and he quickly disappeared from sight.

Only three teenagers remained, standing on the chaotic training ground, stunned for Jiujiu.

The independent dormitories for Class Zero members are completely different from those for regular students at the Eastsea Academy.

This place is more like a faculty apartment, with each person having their own one-bedroom apartment, fully furnished with furniture and appliances, and even the Soul Gathering Array for cultivation has been set up in advance. Several people from Class Zero live on the same floor, with their doors facing each other, and they know the location of each other's rooms very well.

Bai Yushan carried Gu Yue to her dormitory door without even knocking. He raised a finger, and a thin, wisp of purple-blue electricity shot from his fingertip, seeping into the crack of the door lock.

A soft click.

The electronic lock was instantly controlled by an electric current, and the door automatically popped open.

He pushed open the door and strode in, without even changing his shoes. Reaching the bedside in the bedroom, he loosened his grip and tossed her straight onto the soft mattress. The movement was swift and decisive, showing absolutely no mercy.

Gu Yue groaned and bounced twice on the mattress, but still didn't wake up, her silver hair spread messily on the pillow.

Bai Yushan clapped his hands, turned around and left the bedroom, then started wandering around the living room. He opened the drawer of the TV cabinet and rummaged through it; then he opened the storage cabinet next to it and glanced at it. Surprisingly, he actually found quite a few good things.

Dried mango, beef jerky, strawberry-flavored gummies, and several boxes of beautifully packaged desserts were neatly stacked on the bottom shelf of the cabinet.

"Heh, they've kept it well hidden."

Bai Yushan raised an eyebrow, unceremoniously took out all the snacks, and tossed them onto the living room sofa. He stretched out his long legs, comfortably leaned back on the sofa, opened a bag of beef jerky, and stuffed it into his mouth, crunching it with relish.

The sunlight outside the window slowly slanted westward as he ate his snacks idly, waiting for the person in bed to wake up.

He was used to this kind of scene.

During the month-long vacation, this kind of thing happened almost every day at the Spirit Pagoda's special training grounds.

At first, he couldn't be bothered with Gu Yue at all. This girl was arrogant, but her skills couldn't match her temper. Every time they sparred, she would stubbornly charge forward, only to be knocked unconscious by him every time. In Bai Yushan's eyes, she was the perfect example of someone who was both bad at the game and loved to play!

He could have just knocked the person out and left them there, but Leng Yaozhu would always come over and knock him on the head, saying that he had hit them too hard and that he should be responsible for taking the person back to their room and making sure they woke up before leaving.

They euphemistically called it "fellow disciples should take care of each other."

Bai Yushan had some reservations about this.

Take care of me? On what grounds?

But he couldn't beat Leng Yaozhu, so he could only Leng Yaozhu's "iron fist of love".

Bai Yushan had a lot of complaints about this, and every time they sparred, he would deliberately beat Gu Yue into a sorry state and then humiliate him severely!

Even if Gu Yue fainted and there was no time to mock her, Bai Yushan would still send her back to her room, wait for Gu Yue to wake up, and then make up for it before he was willing to leave.

Over the course of this month, he learned exactly what snacks Gu Yue liked to eat, since most of them ended up in his own stomach.
