Chapter 22: Xie Xie vs Gu Yue
🕑 Added 2025-03-01 05:53:45 +0000 UTC
Wu Zhangkong, who was watching the students in Class 5 running, noticed this girl. Wu Zhangkong’s gaze paused on her. This girl was not wearing a school uniform, and it was already class time.
“Which class are you from?” Wu Zhangkong walked up.
The girl’s attention seemed to be attracted by other things. She looked at Tang Wulin and Nan Fusheng who were running with Xie Xie, and seemed to be very interested in the three people wearing iron armor.
“I came to study. But they said that the registration time has passed.” She raised her head and looked at Wu Zhangkong.
Wu Zhangkong frowned, “Aren’t you a student of Donghai College?”
The girl said, “Not yet, but I hope to be able to study here. Is that okay, teacher?”
If it was any other teacher, maybe she would be kicked out directly, but is Wu Zhangkong any other teacher? No!
“This is the Soul Master Academy. If you want to go to school, you have to rely on your own abilities.” Wu Zhangkong said coldly.
“I can take the test.” The girl smiled.
Wu Zhangkong asked: “What’s your name?”
The girl said, “My name is Gu Yue.”
Wu Zhangkong nodded, “Okay, I’ll give you a chance.” After that, he turned to the three people who were running, “Xie Xie, give your iron armor to Tang Wulin, and come here.”
Xie Xie had recovered somewhat from the two rounds thanks to the help of Tang Wulin and Nan Fusheng. He stopped, took off his iron armor and handed it to Tang Wulin, “Can you put on an extra iron armor?”
Tang Wulin said, “It’s easier than taking you with me.” He took the iron armor and put it on casually. Then Xie Xie saw that this guy accelerated again. Nan Fusheng also accelerated with Tang Wulin.
The physical strength of the two of them… is really not human!
Panting, Xie Xie came to Wu Zhangkong in the middle of the playground, “Teacher Wu.”
Wu Zhangkong said: “Your physical strength is too poor.”
Xie Xie protested: “We Agility Attack Spirit Masters only need instantaneous explosive power and flexibility, and don’t need too much physical strength.”
Wu Zhangkong said disdainfully: “Superficial. Well, I’ll give you a chance today. If you defeat her, you don’t have to run this morning.”
Xie Xie then noticed the girl next to Wu Zhangkong and looked her up and down. He took a deep breath and adjusted his soul power, “No problem.”
Wu Zhangkong said: “I’ll give you twenty minutes to rest. We’ll start in twenty minutes.”
Xie Xie didn’t say anything more. He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate and rest. The previous run had consumed a lot of his physical strength and soul power. As a quick attack type combat soul master, he was indeed not at an advantage in this regard.
Gu Yue didn’t even look at him, but glanced around, seeming to be very curious about everything here.
Wu Zhangkong glanced at her and said, “It is the most unwise thing to do to despise your opponent.”
Gu Yue said: “I don’t despise him!” Although he said this, the disregard in his eyes seemed to say that this guy is not worthy of my contempt at all.
Wu Zhangkong stopped talking and continued to pay attention to the other students who were running.
In this kind of physical training, physical strength is undoubtedly the most important.
Tang Wulin and Nan Fusheng were running in the front. Their speed was not particularly fast, but they were stable. Even though Tang Wulin was wearing two iron armors, it did not affect his pace.
As for Nan Fusheng, frankly speaking, even Wu Zhangkong didn’t expect Nan Fusheng’s physical fitness to be so good. Is this a characteristic of children in Aolai City?
While running, Tang Wulin also paid attention to the center of the playground. He was also a little curious about what was going on with this sudden girl.
Nan Fusheng noticed that when Tang Wulin looked at the girl Gu Yue, Gu Yue seemed to be looking in Tang Wulin’s direction inadvertently. When their eyes met, Gu Yue’s eyes suddenly became sharp, but soon calmed down, as if the sharp look just now was an illusion.
Twenty minutes passed quickly.
Xie Xie jumped up, stretched his body, and regained his spirits.
Wu Zhangkong nodded, “30 meters away, get ready.”
The students in Class 5 who were running in circles now slowed down even more, and everyone was looking at the two people who were preparing to fight in the middle of the playground.
Among his peers, Xie Xie was already the second most powerful person they had ever seen. They didn’t know who was stronger, him or this strange girl:
Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin were also paying attention to this competition, but Nan Fusheng knew that Xie Xie would never be a match for Gu Yue.
As expected, with ice, fire, earth and wind, Xie Xie was bombarded by Gu Yue and couldn’t get close to him at all. In the end, his face was covered with light elements and tears flowed.
He refused to accept the defeat even when Wu Zhangkong announced it was his defeat.
“You win.” Wu Zhangkong said to Gu Yue.
Xie Xie protested, “Teacher, I didn’t lose! My attacks were so intense just now, her attacks might not be able to break through.”
Wu Zhangkong snorted coldly, “If you lose, you lose. Just now when you were waving your dagger around, she was already behind you.”
Gu Yue smiled slightly, a silver light flashed on his body, and he suddenly moved sideways three meters. Seeing Xie Xie was stunned, what kind of ability is this?
She looked at Wu Zhangkong, “Teacher, can I enroll now?”
Wu Zhangkong nodded, “I will definitely do what I promised you. But first, you need to tell me your origins and what your martial spirit is.”
Gu Yue took out a letter from his bosom, “This is my recommendation letter for the junior college. As for my martial soul, my martial soul is an elementalist.”
Elementalist?
Wu Zhangkong thought he was well-informed, but this was the first time he had heard of this kind of martial spirit.
In the battle Gu Yue just had with Xie Xie, the abilities he displayed were truly astonishing, with six elemental abilities: ice, fire, earth, wind, light, and space.
You know, among martial spirits, even if you only possess one element, you are already a top-level existence. Possessing six elements at the same time is simply unimaginable.
Gu Yue saw the surprise in his eyes and did not hide it, “I can control six elements, but my spirit ring cannot be attached to any one element.
Therefore, I can control the changes of elements, but it is difficult to make them stronger. My first soul skill is called Elemental Tide. It can maintain my soul power for a longer period of time and enhance the power of controlling elements. “
After hearing what she said, Wu Zhangkong finally understood.
As expected, there is absolutely no being in this world who can control all attributes and is extremely powerful in each one. She only has one martial soul, not six.
Controlling six elements at the same time meant that she could not specialize in any one of them, and any one element could not be directly attached with soul skills. The abilities she had just displayed were all released by relying on her control over the elements.
No wonder each of her abilities was not that strong. It was only through her clever use that she was able to restrain Xie Xie.
However, even so, this is definitely a top-level martial spirit, not inferior to the twin martial spirits. Not to mention anything else, just now she used the earth element to turn into a swamp to trap Xie Xie, and then used the ice element to freeze the muddy swamp. This already has the prototype of some composite element applications. If well cultivated, this will definitely be an extremely powerful soul master genius in the future.
Wu Zhangkong said: “Okay, I understand. You are now a member of our class, Grade One, Class Five.”
“Thank you, teacher.” Gu Yue agreed with a sweet smile.
Wu Zhangkong’s face turned cold. “Then, let’s go running with them. This is a compulsory physical training. Xie Xie, you go too.”
Xie Xie immediately said with a bitter face: “Teacher, don’t we have to run away after the fight?”
Wu Zhangkong snorted coldly, “Did you win?”
“I…” Xie Xie was angry and a little depressed. Isn’t it? If Nan Fusheng defeated him at the beginning because of his weird first soul skill, then he had tried his best in the battle with Gu Yue, but still lost. This girl’s martial soul was too weird, even weirder than his own double dragon dagger.
Gu Yue smiled slightly, did not refuse, and ran directly to the edge of the playground and started running with the other students from Class 5.
Xie Xie cried out in sorrow, but he had to go.
Looking at their figures, a rare smile appeared on Wu Zhangkong’s cold face, and he turned and walked towards the main teaching building.
“Why are you wearing iron chains?” Gu Yue asked curiously as she ran to Tang Wulin with brisk steps.
Tang Wulin said, “Exercise your body! Teacher, please be stricter with me. You are amazing.”
Gu Yue smiled and said, “It’s nothing special. I’m not strong in any single element, I just control it well. It’s the same with any martial spirit. As long as you have spirit power, when you truly understand it and can control it, it will bring you surprises.”
Tang Wulin couldn’t help but feel moved after hearing her words. Control?
“You are talking without any pain in your waist. Whose martial spirit can control so many aspects like yours?” Xie Xie’s disapproving voice sounded from the other side. Without the iron armor and after a rest, he could run relatively easily now.
Gu Yue said: “That’s because you haven’t fully understood your own martial spirit yet.”
Xie Xie said unconvincedly: “How do you know I don’t understand?”
Gu Yue said: “How can I know if I am defeated?”
“I…” Xie Xie was so angry that he just wanted to bang his head against the wall. Wasn’t he a genius? Why did he come to this school, and even to the worst class five, and was defeated again and again.
First, when he entered the dormitory, he had a conflict with Tang Wulin and was slapped in the face. Later, he was unwilling to accept it and used the power of money to force Tang Wulin to compete with him. In the end, he was slapped in the face again.
Later, he finally regained a little sense of accomplishment as a genius by beating up weak opponents in the class 5 competition, but he met Nan Fusheng and was defeated before he could deal any damage.
In today’s long-distance run, he was beaten up by a girl who came from nowhere and was defeated again and again.
At this moment, Gu Yue, who was running in front, turned around and looked at him with a smile, “You seem to be thinking about something bad.”
“No, no, let’s hurry up and finish the run.” Xie Xie felt a chill passing through his heart and quickly shook his head. He felt very sad and angry. He and this girl named Gu Yue seemed to be at odds with each other, but he couldn’t beat her.
