Douluo Continent III Haotian Wulin

At this moment, Gu Yue's hands moved rhythmically in the air.

Her movements were subtle, even gentle. Her fingertips seemed to be plucking at invisible threads, yet the elements in the air rapidly gathered in response.

A blue tornado was rapidly forming in front of her.

The sound of the wind gradually increased in intensity, from a subtle swirling motion to a sharp whistling sound.

Within that cyan tornado, ice spikes continued to merge in.

The icicles, driven by the wind, spun, accelerated, and sliced ​​through the air, transforming into countless tiny, sharp, icy fragments. The wind made the icicles faster, and the ice made the storm even sharper. The two elements intertwined, giving the tornado a hint of a destructive force capable of shredding everything in its path.

The young man with the ice staff finally changed his expression.

He even felt like swearing.

What exactly is this girl's martial spirit?

She's said to be an ice-attribute soul master, yet she was able to cast a powerful light spell just now.

She is said to be a light-attribute soul master, and now she has condensed a dual-attribute tornado combining wind and ice.

Moreover, this is not simply about releasing two soul skills at the same time.

Ice and wind did not repel each other in her hands; on the contrary, they seemed to be meant to be combined, complementing and strengthening each other.

This level of control far surpasses that of an ordinary second-ring Soul Master.

Even through the icy blue shield, he could feel the sharp aura constantly rising from within the icy tornado.

Dual-attribute combination soul skill.

Very competitive.

The young man with the ice staff's eyes darkened.

He stopped maintaining his second soul skill shield, and the icy blue light instantly subsided.

The next moment, the only purple spirit ring beneath his feet shone brightly.

Tang Wulin and the others' eyes narrowed simultaneously.

Millennium Soul Ring Technique.

They had seen thousand-year-old soul beasts and even killed thousand-year-old crystal bears with their own hands, but this was the first time they had ever truly faced a thousand-year-old soul skill.

In the world of Soul Masters, a thousand-year-old Soul Skill is already a very high-level power.

As for ten-thousand-year soul ring skills, Tang Wulin had only seen ten-thousand-year soul rings on Wu Changkong, but had never actually seen Wu Changkong use ten-thousand-year soul skills.

At the tip of the ice staff, the blue crystal suddenly lit up.

The ice-attribute energy, so concentrated it was almost pure, converged wildly.

The moisture in the air was instantly frozen, and tiny ice crystals appeared, which were then quickly sucked into the tip of the staff.

An ice spear slowly solidified and took shape.

The ice spear was about two meters long, crystal clear, but not like ordinary ice; instead, it possessed a deep blue chill. Fine, intricate magical runes shimmered along its surface, and its tip was so sharp it seemed capable of piercing the air.

The Fury of Ice.

A powerful single-target attack soul skill.

Just by looking at that ice spear, the members of Class Zero could feel the immense threat it contained.

Tang Wulin made a decision instantly.

None of the five of them could withstand this attack head-on.

Even if he were to use the Sinking Star Hammer and Golden Scale Right Arm to take the blow head-on, he would inevitably be severely injured.

Not to mention Gu Yue.

She was never a defensive Soul Master.

"It's not too late to withdraw voluntarily now."

The young man with the ice staff looked at Gu Yue.

His expression was no longer as cold and arrogant as before.

The fact that a little girl with only a second-ring cultivation level could release such elemental fluctuations was enough for him to put aside his contempt.

He was always arrogant, but at this moment he also felt a little pity for his talent.

If it weren't for the upheaval at the Spirit Ascension Platform, and if the other party weren't surrounded by such dense spiritual energy, he might not have been so ruthless towards a girl who was also skilled in elemental magic.

Gu Yue looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.

That wasn't a laugh.

Because only one corner of his mouth turned slightly upward, his cool and aloof eyes carried an undisguised sarcasm.

The young man with the ice staff's eyes turned cold.

Point the ice staff forward slightly.

The ice spear instantly transformed into a streak of blue light, shooting straight towards Gu Yue.

too fast.

In that instant, everyone only saw a blue light streak cutting through the air.

The speed of the ice spear was like lightning, giving the user almost no time to dodge.

But at the same instant, the icy tornado in front of Gu Yue suddenly disintegrated.

It wasn't shattered by the ice spear.

Instead, she broke up on her own initiative.

The wind disappeared.

The icicle shattered.

Gu Yue's figure also turned into a streak of silver light and disappeared into thin air at that moment.

The ice spear pierced through the spot where she had been standing and shot into the woods behind her.

"boom!"

A large tree in the distance was pierced through, its trunk instantly covered with frost, and then the entire tree split in two, with cold air emanating from the break.

Tang Wulin's pupils contracted slightly.

If this blow were to land on a person, it would be far more than just a simple injury.

The young man with the ice staff was stunned.

Space system?

Instant teleportation?

Moreover, it can break free from the lock of its thousand-year-old soul skill?

How is that possible?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Just then, the little girl beside him suddenly looked up, her voice tinged with panic.

"Brother, what's up there?"

The young man with the ice staff subconsciously looked up.

Then, he saw the sky.

At some point, all the elemental attacks that Gu Yue had previously thrown upwards were now suspended in mid-air.

Fireball, wind blade, ice spike, rock, water droplet.

They resembled frozen fireworks, each a different color, hanging silently among the tree canopy.

At that moment, all the light fell simultaneously.

The fireball was in front, the wind blades accelerated, the ice spikes pierced through, the rocks blocked the way, and the water flowed into thin ropes, yet there was not a trace of chaos among them.

That's not just a simple matter of randomly throwing elements at each other.

It was a trap that had been set up from the very beginning.

The young man with the ice staff finally changed his expression completely.

He had just used a powerful thousand-year soul skill, and his soul power was declining. His mind was also briefly disrupted by the soul skill's lock-on effect.

Even if he were a level 35 Soul Master, it would be impossible for him to immediately connect with another high-intensity Soul Skill in such a short time.

More importantly, Gu Yue had no intention of going head-to-head with his Ice Fury.

She was only trying to get his attention from the beginning by using the ice tornado.

The thousand-year-old soul technique that lured him.

The real attack was already waiting overhead.

How is that possible?

As the last thought arose, the young man with the ice staff suddenly raised his hand and slapped the rescue signal device on the back of the little girl's hand.

He couldn't let his sister suffer this pain.

The little girl's body turned into a white light and disappeared instantly.

The next moment, the four elemental attacks landed completely.

Flames exploded.

Wind blade cutting.

An ice pick pierced the skin.

Rocks fell.

The water froze in the cold, then was blasted into fine ice mist by the impact of the flames.

The young man with the ice staff only had time to hastily condense a layer of ice light before he was engulfed in a dazzling and violent roar of elements.

The roar lasted for several breaths.

Then, a second white light appeared.

The figure of the young man with the ice staff also disappeared.

However, one of them was sent away by him on his own initiative.

The other one was directly knocked off the Ascension Platform by Gu Yue's four elemental attacks.

The woods fell silent again.

Frost, scorch marks, gravel, and residual moisture intertwined, filling the air with a white mist born from the collision of cold and heat.

Tang Wulin looked at the spot where the ice staff-wielding youth had disappeared and muttered, "That guy was actually pretty nice."

"Knowing to protect those around you first."

After saying that, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was a bit off.

Looking back, Xie Xie, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi were all standing there like statues.

Not moving at all.

His expression was also incredibly strange.

"What's wrong with you?"

Tang Wulin asked in confusion.

Xie Xie did not answer him, but instead bowed respectfully in the direction of Gu Yue.

"sister."

"From now on, you'll be my older sister."

"I'll never argue with you again."

Zhang Yangzi reacted extremely quickly and immediately made the same move.

"Hello, elder sister."

Wang Jinxi was shy and did not follow suit with the bow, but his eyes showed not only admiration but also a clear hint of fear.

Gu Yue silently walked back to Tang Wulin's side, her expression still calm.

"What's so great about beating an arrogant guy?"

"Let's go."

Just as she was speaking, the aura of spiritual energy that had been surrounding the young man with the ice staff shot towards her like a storm.

Once the dense spiritual energy lost its master, it became ownerless and immediately swirled around the five members of Class Zero.

The one who absorbed the most was naturally Gu Yue, who was closest to him and the one who defeated him.

Next was Tang Wulin, who was standing in front.

Tang Wulin felt another surge of spiritual energy enter his body, and the feeling of fullness in his body became more pronounced.

The little ant spirit swayed its antennae beside the Sinking Star Hammer, and the golden patterns on its carapace seemed to brighten slightly.

Only then did he truly understand the reactions of Xie Xie and the other two.

That's a three-ring Soul Master.

Moreover, it possesses a thousand-year-old soul ring.

They all witnessed the young man with the ice staff kill the six-armed fire serpent. His attack speed, control of his soul skills, and the intensity of his ice element all far surpassed those of an ordinary second-ring soul master.

Yet, even such a powerful Soul Venerable was defeated by Gu Yue in just over a minute.

After advancing to the second ring, Gu Yue became stronger than they could comprehend.

Tang Wulin's heart stirred slightly.

He vaguely guessed the direction of Gu Yue's second soul skill.

Her first soul skill is Elemental Tide, which can enhance her ability to attract and mobilize elemental energy.

In the battle just now, she was able to unleash a large number of low-level elemental attacks while maintaining the ice and wind tornadoes to attract the opponent's attention, and even keep those fireballs, wind blades, ice spikes, and rocks in the air for so long before they all fell at the last moment.

This is definitely not something that can be achieved simply by having strong mental strength.

Her second soul skill is likely not a direct attack skill.

Instead, it enhances her ability to simultaneously control, delay, and combine multiple elements.

Two soul skills, one enhances elemental attraction, and the other enhances elemental control.

They don't seem to be attacking directly.

Does Gu Yue need a fixed attack soul skill?

She controls multiple elements.

Fire, wind, water, earth, ice, light, and even space.

These elements are flexible enough when used individually, and even more versatile when combined.

Coupled with her ridiculously strong mental strength, she is undoubtedly the number one in Class Zero in terms of individual combat ability.

No wonder Xie Xie had no desire to win.

Facing such a powerful Gu Yue, an agility-based character trying to win by speed is practically fighting against the entire space.

Of course, Gu Yue is right.

The reason the young man with the ice staff lost so quickly was largely due to his lack of understanding of her abilities and his overconfidence.

If he maintains his second soul skill's defensive shield and doesn't rush to use his millennium soul skill for a strong attack, and the two sides engage in a battle of attrition, Gu Yue might not have the upper hand.

The Soul Power Foundation of a Three-Ring Soul Master is undeniable.

But battles are never just about soul power.

If you make a wrong judgment, you will have to pay the price.

"Do you want to take a break?"

Tang Wulin asked Gu Yue.

Gu Yue shook his head.

"Let's go."

Without the barrier of the spider silk of the human face demon, lingering too long in the Ascension Platform during the riot period will never end well.

The group regrouped and prepared to leave.

But before they had taken more than a few steps, Zhang Yangzi, who was in charge of reconnaissance, suddenly became urgent.

"A soul beast is coming."

"a lot of."

His expression changed.

"A large group of them, living in groups of spirit beasts."

"At least thirty."

"It looks like... the Flame Demon Lion!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone's expression changed simultaneously.

Lion-type spirit beasts have always been among the most powerful of the terrestrial social spirit beasts.

Generally speaking, the stronger a soul beast is, the more it prefers to act alone.

Because being a lone wolf allows one to occupy more resources and eliminates the need to share prey with others of the same species.

Lion-type spirit beasts are an exception.

They are centered around a male lion, who leads a group of lionesses to form a pride.

Whether in forests or grasslands, these groups are dominant entities.

Even spirit beasts stronger than lions are unwilling to provoke them easily.

Because their overall combat power is too strong.

The Flame Lion is one of the most aggressive species among them.

More than thirty.

That's something the current five members of Class Zero simply can't compete with.

"run!"

Tang Wulin shouted almost without hesitation.

Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around.

Gu Yue waved his hands, and a blue light instantly enveloped the five of them.

This time, the wind element is not just about reducing the weight underfoot.

Instead, it supports their bodies from their ankles, back, and shoulders simultaneously, making them feel light and airy.

The five people's speed immediately increased significantly.

In the distance behind, deep lion roars rang out one after another.

A sound.

Two sounds.

Then came a roar like waves of flames, like a burning tide rapidly approaching from the depths of the forest.
