Chapter 18 The power of time and the elements collide, Gu Yue joins
"Elemental Tide!"
Facing the approaching attack, Gu Yue remained unfazed. Instead, she silently raised her finger, and a fiery red light flashed around her.
The next moment, a fireball the size of a human head burst through the air, hurtling towards Zhao Tao's face.
"Break it!"
Zhao Tao twisted his sword, its surface brimming with soul power, slicing the fireball apart.
Instantly, waves of heat barreled towards Zhao Tao's face, but Zhao Tao simply twisted his wrist, holding the Time Burial Sword in front of him. The waves seemed to have entered another dimension, unable to harm Zhao Tao at all.
"The power of time!?"
Watching what was happening to Zhao Tao, Gu Yue's pretty face once again flashed with casual shock.
Although she possessed all of Na'er's memories, the opportunity to battle souls at the Junior Soul Master Academy was nearly impossible.
At home, while Zhao Tao would practice with Na'er by his side, he had never displayed or used any soul skills.
Therefore, Na'er knew almost nothing about the true nature of Zhao Tao's spirit!
It was precisely for this reason that Gu Yue was also quite surprised when she discovered that Zhao Tao's spirit could control the power of time.
(Please remember the 𝟷𝟶𝟷𝚔�𝚗.𝚌ς𝚖 website for the fastest chapter updates.)
Just as Gu Yue was secretly shocked, Zhao Tao continued his attack, wielding the Time Burial Sword, charging towards Gu Yue, the blade aimed straight for Gu Yue's chest!
Faced with such a fierce attack, any ordinary spirit master would have panicked.
But she was Gu Yue after all, the Silver Dragon King's incarnation!
Gu Yue's expression remained calm and composed. The yellow spirit ring on her body flickered, and the light around her body instantly switched from red to cyan.
Immediately, Gu Yue's body accelerated as if on a spring, instantly gaining a distance of nearly ten meters.
"Huh... What kind of spirit is this?"
Watching the battle between Gu Yue and Zhao Tao, Wu Changkong's eyes flickered with curiosity.
Even with her experience, she couldn't determine the true nature of Gu Yue's spirit.
After all, in just a few moves, Gu Yue had demonstrated control over both wind and fire.
It seemed the elementalist spirit she possessed was a rare and powerful one.
If so, she'd truly found a treasure.
Just as Wu Changkong was wondering, Gu Yue, having quickly distanced herself, launched an attack.
With a flick of her finger, the color around her body suddenly turned to earthy yellow.
Simultaneously, the ground beneath Zhao Tao seemed to transform into a quagmire, sinking his feet into it.
Just as Zhao Tao was temporarily trapped, the glow around Gu Yue's body shifted back to aquamarine.
As Gu Yue's yellow spirit ring flickered, sharp icy spikes, like razor-sharp arrows, shot towards Zhao Tao.
"Hmph, a mere trifle!"
Facing Gu Yue's ferocious attacks, Zhao Tao remained calm, brandishing the Time Burial Sword and easily blocking all blows.
Simultaneously, Zhao Tao infused his spirit power into his feet and leaped, freeing himself from the swamp Gu Yue had confined. Then, like an eagle swooping from the sky, he charged at Gu Yue.
"Excellent, excellent!"
Wu Changkong's eyes lit up at this spectacular duel, and he even clapped his hands in applause.
At that moment, Wu Changkong made his decision. Even if he had to beg Long Hengxu humbly, he would keep Gu Yue in East Sea Academy, in Class Five.
After all, in the previous battle, both Gu Yue's fighting skills and her martial spirit had left Wu Changkong incredibly satisfied, even a little astonished.
After all, in just this brief battle, Gu Yue had already demonstrated simultaneous control over the elements of fire, wind, earth, and water.
To achieve mastery over all four elements with a single spirit, just how powerful was the spirit of this young woman, Gu Yue?
Not to mention the astonished Wu Changkong, who stared at Zhao Tao, still suspended in mid-air, Gu Yue smiled slyly. A white ball of light instantly rushed towards Zhao Tao, then suddenly exploded.
The next moment, Zhao Tao felt a sudden blur of white before his eyes, as if entering a sea of light.
This was Gu Yue's light elemental attack!
Although his vision was temporarily obstructed, Zhao Tao, with immense combat experience, remained unfazed.
With a single thought, Zhao Tao unleashed his mental power, capturing the shifting currents in the air. He swung the Time Burial Sword, easily blocking Gu Yue's attacks.
Finally, after several seconds, Zhao Tao's vision returned to normal.
This time, Zhao Tao didn't attempt to close in on Gu Yue for a melee attack. Instead, he thrust his arm, sending the Time Burial Sword piercing the air and striking Gu Yue.
Facing this blow, Gu Yue once again switched her elemental control to wind, a flash of azure light surrounding her as she dodged into the distance.
But this time, Gu Yue's supposedly swift dodge proved far slower against the Time Burial Sword's attack. She could only watch helplessly as the blade edged ever closer.
"Does the power of time imbued within the blade invisibly increase its speed?"
Seeing that a simple dodge was no longer enough to escape the Time Burial Sword, Gu Yue remained unfazed. Instead, a flash of silver light emanated from her body.
The next moment, she suddenly shifted sideways several meters, narrowly escaping the Time Burial Sword's attack.
"The power of space!"
Wu Changkong exclaimed at the sight.
Zhao Tao, standing nearby, also feigned surprise, then, with a thought, summoned the Time Burial Sword back.
"Alright, that's enough."
Clapping his hands, Wu Changkong called a halt to the battle, which was destined to be a close one in a short period of time.
"Gu Yue, your strength is truly remarkable. If there's a chance in the future, we can fight together and improve each other!"
Sheathing his martial spirit, Zhao Tao extended his right hand as he gazed at Gu Yue in the distance.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Zhao Tao!"
Looking at Zhao Tao, Gu Yue smiled serenely and shook his hand.
"Congratulations, Gu Yue, you've successfully passed my assessment. Welcome to Class Five!"
At that moment, Wu Changkong approached Gu Yue and announced the results.
"Thank you, Teacher Wu. Here's my letter of recommendation!"
Receiving Wu Changkong's affirmative response, Gu Yue smiled sweetly, took out her own letter of recommendation for the Junior College, and handed it to Wu Changkong.
"Yes, very good."
"However, before I officially take you to the school, please tell me about your Elementalist spirit."
Wu Changkong asked curiously after receiving the letter of recommendation from Gu Yue.
"Okay, Teacher Wu."
"My spirit, Elementalist, helps me control the six elements."
"However, my spirit rings cannot attach to any one element. Instead, they strengthen my control over the elements."
"For example, my first spirit skill, Elemental Tide, allows me to control elemental power over a wider range."
Hearing Wu Changkong's words, Gu Yue did not hide anything. Instead, she smiled sweetly and explained.
