Chapter 31: Substitute? Tongtian Substitute!
"Substitute?"
Gu Yue's brows furrowed imperceptibly upon hearing this. Sensing the fluctuations of Jiang Xiu's cultivation, a glint of insight flashed in her eyes.
"My foolish Na'er, you dare not fight yourself, so you send someone else to take your place? But it doesn't matter. Defeat this human before me, and I'll come after you. There's no way you can escape," Gu Yue thought to herself. Her slender hands flicked gently, and a faint azure light appeared in the air, as ethereal wind elements gathered around her.
Jiang Xiu also strolled over to face Gu Yue, examining her with both his eyes and his mental power.
"Elementalist, Gu Yue has gradually regained control of the six elements at this stage, hasn't she?"
Jiang Xiu's gaze narrowed slightly, observing the elemental radiances gradually emerging from Gu Yue's side, and he silently speculated.
The Silver Dragon King transformed into two: Na'er inherited the Silver Dragon Spear, while Gu Yue inherited the elemental power.
And now, Gu Yue's cultivation has reached level 25.
Inside the viewing room.
Leng Yaozhu and Na'er sat on sofa chairs, their eyes fixed on the soul guide screen in front of them. The scene displayed on it was the battle space.
"Begin! Let this tower master see the prodigy you've discovered," Leng Yaozhu said with a gentle wave of her jade hand to the middle-aged man behind her. This middle-aged man was the tower master of the East China Sea Spirit Pagoda branch.
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly in response, and then a faint light curtain rose from the battle space on the screen, enveloping Gu Yue and Jiang Xiu.
"Boss, be alert! Don't lose face! Train Gu Yue hard!"
Na'er clenched her fair hands into fists, her violet eyes fixed on the screen.
"Na'er, who do you think has a better chance of winning, Gu Yue or Xiao Xiu?"
Leng Yaozhu asked with a smile.
"Hmm... 30/70,"
Na'er pondered for a moment, then said seriously.
"Oh? Na'er, are you so optimistic about Gu Yue?"
Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes flickered with surprise. Upon hearing that Gu Yue had a 70% chance, she couldn't help but ask softly.
"No, Master, you misunderstood. What I meant was, in three minutes, Gu Yue fell seven times," Na'er said with a mysterious smile. Having followed Jiang Xiu for four years, she knew Jiang Xiu's formidable strength well. Jiang Xiu's power was definitely not something Gu Yue could withstand.
"My foolish Gu Yue, just sit back and let me set you up."
At this moment, a mechanical voice echoed from the battle space.
"The battle begins, and it continues until one person is defeated."
Jiang Xiu and Gu Yue stared at each other. As the voice fell, they both summoned their martial spirits simultaneously.
A blurry figure appeared behind Gu Yue, and six elements surrounded him like six shining gems. Then, two yellow, century-old spirit rings rose from his feet.
Gu Yue had only been in the human world for less than a year, and all resources at the East Sea Intermediate Academy had yet to be utilized. Thanks to Gu Yue's careful training, his cultivation had only reached level 25. But at this age, he was still considered a top-tier talent.
But the next moment, Gu Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She saw a tall black figure rise from behind Jiang Xiu, then, like flowing water, descend upon him, transforming into a suit of dark armor.
At Jiang Xiu's feet, two dark purple spirit rings rose. These purple rings had already turned black, faintly gleaming with a dark glow, their age approaching ten thousand years.
"Hmph! Today, I'll show you that even geniuses differ."
Gu Yue's eyes were as calm as water. Jiang Xiu wasn't the only genius in the world.
Immediately, the wind element around Gu Yue surged, and with a flicker of azure light, she had already distanced herself from Jiang Xiu. As a ranged attacking spirit master, the greater the distance, the more advantageous it was.
At the same time, Gu Yue's hands suddenly ignited with a red light, and several balls of scorching, violent flames appeared, striking Jiang Xiu like meteors. The intense heat caused the air to tremble slightly, and the dense, precise attack completely blocked Jiang Xiu's several escape routes.
"Since I've decided to start with you, let me show you my absolute domination!"
Jiang Xiu's expression remained unchanged. He took a sudden step forward, and a layer of dark, cold black light instantly burst out, enveloping the flames. After a few puffs of white smoke rose, the flames were instantly extinguished.
Jiang Xiu then charged directly at Gu Yue, the dark straight knife in his hand condensing, emitting a sharp blade light.
Although Gu Yue's cultivation level was lower than his, Jiang Xiu did not dare to be careless. Gu Yue's control of himself and combat experience far surpassed his.
Gu Yue was like a max-level master using a smurf, and the gap in cultivation level was easily narrowed.
But Jiang Xiu also had confidence in himself. After all, he had not been standing still in the past few years.
"Elemental Tide! Ice Spike!"
Gu Yue calmly activated his first soul skill, and the surrounding elements became even more intense. Countless sharp ice spikes gathered in Gu Yue's hand. As Gu Yue's palm fell, it rained down on Jiang Xiu like a dense rain of arrows.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Jiang Xiu shifted, the blade in his hand slashing out continuously, transforming into an impenetrable barrier, slicing away all the incoming ice spikes, and the distance between him and Gu Yue steadily closed.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. Dark yellow earthen walls rose from the ground, and simultaneously, patches of yellow light flashed in the air, all of which enveloped Jiang Xiu. In mid-air, they suddenly transformed into long, sturdy ropes, each attack directed directly at Jiang Xiu's vital points.
"Na'er, it seems the human you found needs further training."
Gu Yue's red lips curled slightly in the distance, a hint of pride in her expression. In this situation, she didn't believe Jiang Xiu had any room to dodge. Once he was imprisoned, he would be at her mercy.
"Naturally born and nurtured, an impenetrable golden body!"
Jiang Xiu didn't dodge as Gu Yue expected. Instead, he threw the dark straight blade in his hand, clasped his hands together, and his blood and energy surged like a rushing river. A surge of blood instantly enveloped Jiang Xiu.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A huge roar sounded, and the next moment, a scene that made Gu Yue's delicate face turn pale occurred. Jiang Xiu was like a ferocious beast, smashing straight into the blockade of the earth element. Those ice spikes seemed to be tickling it, and none of them broke through the defense.
"Is this something a ten-year-old human boy can do?!"
Gu Yue was shocked and said in disbelief. Looking at the dark straight knife that Jiang Xiu had thrown earlier, Gu Yue prepared to mobilize the wind element to move again.
She bet that Jiang Xiu's move would consume a lot of energy. As long as she could delay, she would still win!
But soon, Gu Yue found something wrong, because the black straight knife that flew in front of her actually flashed a mark. The moment it approached her, a layer of deep black light swept out, opening its bloody mouth towards her.
"Oh no! It's the domain!"
