Na'er condensed a wisp of silver light at her fingertips, tracing an arcane trajectory in the air.
The silver light transformed into a silver spear, snaking toward the depths of the shaded trees, where the figure with emerald-gold hair stood waiting, arms crossed.
"What exactly do you know?" Na'er's voice was as cold as ice. Beneath her feet, the grass silently became engulfed by the intent of her spear, pressed flat against the ground.
Gu La used his telekinesis to control the Silver Dragon Spear, feeling the sharpness emanating from its tip. "No wonder it's a divine artifact forged from the ribs of the Dragon God—it truly is extraordinary."
"However, girls sure are good at putting on a show."
The plants were his eyes; they had witnessed Na'er deceiving Tang Wulin.
"Enough talk." Na'er raised her hand, recalling the Silver Dragon Spear, its tip pointed directly at Gu La's throat. "Fight me. If I win, you tell me everything."
The shadows of the trees swayed violently as Gu La's laughter, laced with telekinetic threads, echoed through the forest. "Then let's play for a bit."
His emerald-gold pupils suddenly turned vertical, and behind him emerged a golden halo that rivaled the brilliance of the sun. "Let's see how much strength remains in the divided Silver Dragon?"
He was equally curious about the dispersion of power caused by her split personality.
Two terrifying auras collided explosively in the corner of the campus, startling countless birds into flight. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin was surrounded by his classmates, completely unaware of the strange flickering phenomena in the distant sky.
"So that really is your sister?" Yang Nianxia winked mischievously. "Introduce her to me?"
Tang Wulin sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead. Suddenly, his heart clenched painfully. He clutched his chest, looking around in confusion—why did he feel as if something important was shattering?
---
In a corner of the campus.
The remnants of the setting sun bathed the secluded corner in a blood-red hue, the air heavy with the acrid smell of earth and metal colliding.
When Na'er fought, there was no trace of the cute demeanor she displayed before Tang Wulin. Her silver hair billowed, her silver spear whistled through the air, and her stern expression revealed the pride of her true dragon lineage.
Silver Dragon Spear Intent, Dominating the Elements!
The Silver Dragon Spear in her hands became a streak of silver lightning. The shrill whistle of the spear tip slicing through the air resembled the roar of a dragon.
With one thrust of the spear, the wind followed swiftly. Na'er moved with incredible speed, closing in on Gu La almost instantaneously. In the blink of an eye, the divine Silver Dragon Spear struck out over a dozen times! Her silver hair fluttered wildly, each strand wrapped in tiny vortexes of soul power.
"Take this!"
Before the cold command left the girl's lips, the spear's momentum suddenly accelerated.
Seven-colored elemental patterns appeared on the surface of the Silver Dragon Spear. A spiral whirlwind formed at its tip, propelling the spear beyond the limits of human perception.
Gu La's pupils contracted slightly, as his Aura outlined dozens of afterimages on his retinas—Na'er had unleashed twenty-seven strikes in an instant, nearly doubling her previous limit.
A fleeting black soul ring flashed beneath his feet as he stomped heavily. Earth and metal elements converged within a hundred-meter radius, coalescing into a bright yellow rock spear in his hands.
Clang clang clang—
Sparks from the collision of the rock spear and the dragon spear formed a golden-red streak of light. Muffled booms echoed beneath Gu La's feet, and with each strike he blocked, a yellowish glow seeped from the soles of his shoes into the ground.
The shards of rock sliced away by Na'er's spear winds hadn't yet fallen to the ground when they were drawn back into the spear's body by an invisible force. Amidst the clashing spears, Gu La suddenly exposed an opening, deliberately slowing his rock spear by half a beat.
His Aura detected someone approaching—unsurprisingly, it was Yun Ming and his wife, who treated Na'er as their daughter.
Knowing full well that beating Na'er would provoke someone to recklessly defend her, Gu La inwardly grumbled.
Na'er's silver eyes flared, and the Silver Dragon Spear suddenly split into three indistinguishable spear shadows. This was Yun Ming's personally taught "Illusory Triple Manifestation," with the true killing move hidden in the final sudden downward thrust.
When the spear tip was only three inches from Gu La's throat, the girl suddenly noticed the smirk on his lips.
A heavy spear intent descended abruptly, silencing the wind and rain, plunging everything into stillness, as if the surroundings had returned to the barren time before creation.
Earth Spear Intent, Eternal and Unchanging!
No matter how fierce the spear intent, Gu La dismantled it effortlessly. Even a hurricane-like assault couldn't shake the earth.
Na'er inherited the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King. Though her overall strength was inferior to Tang Wulin's, her fully realized bloodline surpassed the fragment Tang Wulin possessed, giving her seven or eight-tenths of his power.
But Gu La's strength was also formidable, especially while standing on the earth, where his stamina seemed inexhaustible. His simple techniques weren't a return to simplicity—they were purely about speed and raw power, allowing him to block and parry the intricate spear techniques Na'er had learned from Yun Ming.
Failing to gain an advantage with her spear skills, Na'er gritted her teeth and began using her soul skills.
As Gu La thrust his spear, a flash of silver light appeared beneath Na'er's feet, teleporting her behind him. A streak of silver light flashed past.
Gu La chuckled softly. The blazing sun above spewed tongues of fire as he positioned his rock spear behind him to block the Silver Dragon Spear. When the silver spear tip touched the rock spear, it carved out a shallow dent, automatically beginning to drain the spear's soul power and vitality.
But a spear forged of rock held no vitality.
Gu La had naturally anticipated the cheating effect of the Silver Dragon Spear draining vitality—a weapon capable of draining even Abyssal Lords dry. Especially since Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear might not be bound by the same seals as the Golden Dragon Spear.
Boom!
Without warning, spikes of rock erupted from the ground, narrowly missing Na'er as she teleported past them.
By the time Gu La turned, his rock spear had turned dark gold, intricate patterns reinforcing its shaft. The moment their weapons clashed, the grass within a ten-meter radius suddenly turned to sand, all moisture evaporated into white mist.
"Elemental Deprivation?" As Na'er leapt back, the ripple she had intended to freeze suddenly dissipated.
She keenly sensed that the water elements in the area were being repelled, and even the Silver Dragon Spear vibrated faintly.
Gu La smiled faintly but didn't respond.
He plunged the rock spear into the ground. The sandified soil, as if drained of life, instantly condensed into countless particles, refracting dangerous glimmers under the setting sun.
Ping—
Acting on instinct, Na'er teleported without hesitation. The spot she had just stood on was pierced through by crystal clusters emerging from underground.
The surface of these white crystals pulsed with soul power fluctuations, clearly constructs imbued with mental interference attributes. Beads of sweat formed on the girl's forehead—had she been half a second slower, she would have been impaled like a pincushion.
Na'er clenched her teeth and glared at Gu La, her dragon spear trembling.
"Not bad reflexes." Gu La casually dispersed the crystal clusters. "But what about this move?"
Before his words faded, the rock spear in his hand suddenly shattered into hundreds of fragments, each piece pulling the surrounding metal elements into chains.
Na'er was about to leap when she realized her boots were inexplicably weighed down by heavy magnetic sand. The Silver Dragon Spear's ability to dominate elements proved ineffective against the intervening layer of metal.
At the last possible moment, Na'er's eyes suddenly shifted into vertical dragon-like slits, her purple light blazing fiercely. The Silver Dragon Spear erupted in blinding silver light, forming a colorful vortex of seven elemental forces.
The encroaching sand-metal chains twisted and deformed in the elemental turbulence, and the leading fragments began to disintegrate.
