Boom!
A blood-red halberd descended from the sky with the force of wind and thunder, tearing through the air with a deafening roar.
Gu Yue, however, stood motionless, her pale face showing no sign of panic.
She flicked her fingertips, and the ice blade she had just condensed instantly turned into specks of silver light and dissipated, while silver light flowed around her.
The next moment, she had already appeared ten feet away, standing gracefully at the edge of the training ground.
"Disgusting!"
A faint blush appeared on Gu Yue's usually calm face, her pearly teeth lightly biting her lower lip, and a sharp, cold glint flashed in her eyes.
That so-called "reminder" sounded to her like a frivolous mockery. In all these years, no one had ever dared to speak to her in such a tone.
"Ahem!"
Jiang Yi, hearing Gu Yue's rebuke, touched the tip of his nose, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.
A slip of the tongue...
he said "halberd," but let's not say "halberd," let's be civilized.
"Hmph!"
Gu Yue scoffed coldly, the blush on her face fading, returning to her usual indifference, except for the increasingly dangerous look in her eyes as she gazed at Jiang Yi.
She had originally intended to hold back, but now it seemed she had to teach this man a lesson.
She would show him what the Dragon King's wrath truly was!
Gu Yue swiftly clasped her hands together, her soul power surging like a tidal wave.
A gale howled from all directions, and scorching fire elements frantically converged in the air, condensing into a crimson tornado that stretched across the heavens and earth. A firestorm several meters high raged and churned across the playground, the scorching air waves baking the ground with a crackling sound.
After unleashing this attack, Gu Yue's face paled noticeably, her body swaying almost imperceptibly, a wave of weakness washing over her.
Logically, her current soul power was insufficient to create such a powerful elemental attack.
However, she had borrowed tomorrow's soul power, barely managing to complete this attack.
Anyway, these people wouldn't be able to tell...
"Hmm?"
The moment the fiery tornado took shape, an ice-blue longsword suddenly materialized in Wu Changkong's hand.
Countless strands of azure light spread out from the sword, enveloping the students and isolating them from the scorching heat outside.
"This attack is no less than a Soul Master's thousand-year soul skill..."
Wu Changkong stared in astonishment at the raging fire tornado on the field, utterly shocked.
Could a one-ring Soul Master unleash such a thing?
Another monster...
At the same time, he kept a close eye on Jiang Yi, ready to intervene at any moment.
"Holy crap! Another one we can't afford to mess with."
Xie Xie, hiding in a corner, widened his eyes. What kind of monsters were these? Were all the one-ring Soul Masters outside this outrageous now? They could even overpower Jiang Yi.
Beside him, Tang Wuling blinked, watching the spirited Gu Yue on the field.
This sister is amazing!
"Hmph!"
Gu Yue's lips curled slightly, as if she could already foresee the other's miserable state amidst the flames.
This was the consequence of disrespect!
However, the next moment,
her body suddenly trembled, and her already pale face drained of all color.
"What happened?"
Gu Yue looked ahead in surprise, her already depleted soul power now reduced by a significant amount.
Boom!
A sudden movement came from the center of the firestorm. A figure slowly emerged from the churning crimson flames—Jiang Yi, wielding his halberd, strolled leisurely through the fire.
A shimmering white shield swirled around him, completely isolating him from the raging wind and fire.
The flames and gales couldn't harm him in the slightest; instead, they became a backdrop, highlighting his awe-inspiring presence, like a war god descending upon the world.
"Want to continue?"
Jiang Yi pointed his halberd at Gu Yue in the distance; her condition was clearly not good.
Gu Yue remained silent, staring intently at Jiang Yi for a moment before turning her gaze to Wu Changkong.
"I concede."
Her soul power was exhausted. If she secretly released a portion of the seal, she could indeed defeat her opponent, but it was clearly unnecessary.
She wasn't here to compete for victory.
As her words fell, the raging fire tornado on the field abruptly dissipated, leaving only lingering waves of heat that rippled outwards.
The students of Class Five, swept by the incoming heat waves, gasped in shock, staring at the two figures in the arena.
The aftershocks alone were already this powerful.
They couldn't even imagine the power of that fiery tornado, yet Jiang Yi was able to stroll through the eye of the storm.
Is this the difference between them and true geniuses?
A sense of dejection crept across the crowd.
Wu Changkong took in their expressions and sighed inwardly.
If it weren't for the Federation's compulsory education, most of these people wouldn't have had the opportunity to cultivate. "
There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters"—how many could truly live up to that saying…?
"Thank you for your concession!"
Jiang Yi withdrew his martial soul and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Yue.
"Hmm!"
Gu Yue nodded indifferently, showing no favoritism towards Jiang Yi despite her loss.
Jiang Yi stood quietly to the side, not bothering to curry favor with her.
"Very good! You pass!"
Wu Changkong nodded at Gu Yue, then pointed to the fifth class's line and said to the two of them,
"You two, join the ranks! We'll continue the lesson!"
"Yes!"
Gu Yue joined the line, gazing at the beautiful figure ahead, a hint of mockery in her calm eyes.
Let me shatter that fool's naive and foolish illusions!
…
That night.
After dinner, Jiang Yi and Xie Xie returned to their respective dorm rooms to rest.
*Snap!*
Jiang Yi pushed open his dorm door, about to turn on the light, but suddenly stopped.
The cool moonlight streamed through the window, outlining a slender figure leaning against the window.
Leng Yulai wore a long, dark dress, the hem fluttering in the night breeze, like a blooming flower of the night.
Her profile was bathed in moonlight, her skin as white as snow, her deep eyes gazing at the bright moon outside the window, a picture of a beautiful woman drinking alone under the moon.
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Yi looked at Leng Yulai by the window, raising an eyebrow, and asked with a hint of curiosity.
Na Nali disappeared as soon as she got off the ship, leaving only Leng Yulai by his side.
Her appearance tonight clearly indicated she had something important to discuss with him.
"That girl who came to your class today was a bit strange…it seemed like there was a Title Douluo following behind her."
Leng Yulai fiddled with her fingernails, her tone languid.
She had been keeping an eye on things nearby and had unexpectedly sensed an aura today, but hadn't investigated it further.
"Should I go check it out?"
Leng Yulai looked up at Jiang Yi and asked.
"No need! To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, I'll personally investigate her background later."
Jiang Yi immediately shook his head, refusing outright.
Gu Yue was only accompanied by those few ferocious beasts; if Leng Yulai went over and ran into Di Tian, wouldn't that be courting death?
"Whatever you want!"
Leng Yulai nodded slightly, not refuting. Although her cultivation was high, Jiang Yi was the one in charge in the operation.
Since Jiang Yi himself didn't care, she didn't want to bother with it either.
"Oh, right!"
Leng Yulai suddenly stood up, stretched, her long black dress clinging tightly to her slender waist, outlining a breathtakingly beautiful figure.
"There's a business gathering in Donghai City next month, and you need to attend."
An invitation with gilded patterns was placed on the table, along with a personal file, on which Jiang Yi's name was prominently displayed.
"You need to familiarize yourself with your identity information during this time."
Leng Yulai lightly tapped the page with her fingertip, her red lips slightly curved, and her eyes held a hint of amusement.
"Don't forget, you're still the young master of our chamber of commerce!"
"I know! Sister!"
Jiang Yi rolled his eyes, seemingly already used to such teasing.
In Donghai City, the three of them publicly presented themselves as siblings, running a medium-sized chamber of commerce.
"That's good!"
Leng Yulai yawned lazily, her figure gradually blending into the shadows, leaving only a faint fragrance floating in the moonlight.
