Douluo Continent III Haotian Wulin

"I'll go up too."

Gu Yue said in a low voice.

Tang Wulin glanced at her sideways, slightly taken aback. But Gu Yue had already stepped forward and stood in front of him.

Without hesitation, he wrapped his arms around Gu Yue's slender waist, pushed off with his feet, and spun around.

Compared to Xie Xie, Gu Yue's body was significantly lighter, and her waist was even more supple and slender; one could almost feel her lightness the moment they touched her. Tang Wulin's flick of the wrist was enough to send her into the air without any additional force.

In the next instant, Gu Yue was thrown into the air.

She followed closely behind Xie Xie, her figure rising into the air.

In mid-air, Gu Tianri, who was in the center, narrowed his eyes and immediately raised his hand to make a gesture.

Faced with Xie Xie rushing straight at him, he did not meet him head-on. Instead, he suddenly flapped his wings, forcefully stopping his forward momentum, and his figure paused slightly in the air.

This is the greatest advantage of a flying Soul Master.

They can fly, stop, change direction, and perform many actions in the air that ground-based Soul Masters simply cannot do.

As long as we can hold off Xie Xie's initial surge, once his upward momentum ends, he will naturally begin to decline. At that point, with the two brothers coordinating their attacks, Xie Xie will be left only to be beaten.

Seeing this scene from below the stage, Ye Yingrong felt somewhat reassured.

In her opinion, Class 5's move was a bit too reckless.

Despite facing a flying Soul Master, instead of waiting on the ground for an opportunity, they actively sent him into the air. This was tantamount to giving away half of their already slim chance of victory.

Especially Guyue.

What she displayed yesterday was clearly a ground-based control ability; both the delaying and blocking techniques were best suited for ground combat. Now, by rashly taking to the air, she's essentially abandoning her most effective fighting style.

The truly correct choice should have been to stick to what one has chosen.

As long as they remain stable on the ground, the Gu brothers' flight will inevitably consume their soul power. Flying soul masters are indeed rare in the lower grades, but their weakness is equally obvious: their energy consumption is far greater than that of ordinary soul masters. As long as Class 5 is patient enough, they may be able to wait for their opportunity.

But they chose the most radical approach.

Ye Yingrong glanced at Wu Changkong subconsciously.

To her surprise, Wu Changkong remained expressionless, coldly watching the competition stage, as if the situation before him was not worth the slightest sympathy.

Does he really not care about winning or losing at all?

In the air, Xie Xie's body had already soared above Gu Tianri.

However, Tang Wulin's throwing power has its limits. After reaching this height, his upward momentum was clearly almost exhausted, and his body began to falter slightly, about to fall.

At that very moment, a flash of blue light appeared beneath his feet.

Xie Xie's eyes lit up, and he twisted his body in mid-air, his toes landing precisely on the blue light.

It is Gu Yue.

That wasn't an ordinary point of light at all; it was a tiny ice ball.

The ice puck shattered instantly when Xie Xie touched it, but Xie Xie had already used the momentum. He was instantly propelled forward as if pushed back, his body twisting and his speed increasing dramatically, as he pounced on Gu Tianri once again.

The change happened so fast that Gu Tianri was stunned for a moment.

In battle, a moment is enough.

Seeing their elder brother cornered, Gu Tianyue and Gu Tianming on the left and right sides abandoned their previous rhythm, flapping their wings and swooping out almost simultaneously. Their first spirit rings lit up at the same time, their speed suddenly increasing as they flanked Xie Xie.

Their first soul skill does not have offensive power; it is simply a speed boost.

But for agile, flying attack types, this is good enough.

But Gu Yue has already arrived.

She remained calm in mid-air, as if she had anticipated everything. With a flick of her wrists, two ice spikes shot out, heading towards Gu Tianyue and Gu Tianming respectively.

The two brothers quickly dodged.

The ice spikes grazed past me; I had barely dodged them when a second wave came.

Gu Yue's attacks were not fierce, but they were terrifyingly accurate. Each attack did not aim to truly harm them, but merely to seal their positions, interrupt them, and force them to stay away from Gu Tianri.

In just a few breaths, Gu Tianyue and Gu Tianming were forced to a standstill by her alone.

Meanwhile, Xie Xie had already reached Gu Tianri.

Instead of rushing in to fight head-on, he flipped his hand first, and a golden blade of light shot out from the tip of the Light Dragon Dagger.

Light Dragon Blade!

Gu Tianri wanted to use the momentum from his fall to avoid Xie Xie's close-range attack. However, Xie Xie's Light Dragon Blade blocked his most convenient escape route.

But this one block slowed him down.

Xie Xie had already arrived.

The two collided almost face-to-face.

Left with no other choice, Gu Tianri could only kick out, hoping to force Xie Xie away.

But Xie Xie reacted incredibly quickly. He gently pulled the foot away with his left hand, using the momentum to flip himself upwards. His figure was as nimble as a shadow brushing against the wind, and the Light Dragon Dagger slapped lightly on Gu Tianri's head.

The next instant, he tapped Gu Tianri's shoulder with his right foot, and his whole body sprang up again, rushing straight towards Gu Tianyue, who was even closer.

"Gu Tianri is out!"

From the audience, Long Hengxu immediately issued his judgment.

Gu Tianri's face turned pale instantly, his heart filled with resentment, but he could only flap his wings and retreat.

As he retreated, he witnessed an even more shocking scene—

Three clusters of blue light had already appeared on Xie Xie's trajectory ahead of time.

One regiment, two regiments, three regiments.

Xie Xie, suspended in mid-air, made three consecutive taps, as if an invisible path had appeared in the air. Each use of leverage was perfectly timed, each turn was extremely smooth, and in the blink of an eye, he had already closed in on Gu Tianyue.

Only then did Gu Yue's own body begin to truly fall.

A faint blue light enveloped her, clearly indicating that wind elements had slowed her descent. She didn't appear disheveled; instead, she seemed to float lightly towards the ground.

The students watching from below the stage were completely stunned.

From the start of the match until now, in just a few breaths, the teamwork displayed by Class 5 has reached a level that is terrifying.

Especially the connection between Gu Yue and Xie Xie.

One can't fly, yet it can constantly use leverage, change direction, and chase in the air; the other is behind, yet it can send every puck to the most appropriate position.

That feeling was as if Xie Xie could really fly.

Gu Tianming was also getting anxious at this point.

Seeing that it was too late to save Gu Tianyue, he gritted his teeth, turned around abruptly, flapped his wings, and rushed towards Gu Tianyue who was falling.

We have to take one down first!

As long as we deal with Gu Yue first, and then raise the level again, Class 5 will still be helpless.

But Gu Yue didn't even glance at him.

She was still falling, her face calm, without even the slightest hint of panic.

Just as Gu Tianming lunged forward, a hand suddenly landed on her waist.

The next instant, she was swept away horizontally.

It's Tang Wulin.

He was already waiting on the ground. With a burst of speed, he lunged forward and pulled Gu Yue away from her original position the instant Gu Tianming fell. At the same time, he swung his heavy hammer from below, striking Gu Tianming squarely in the path of his descent.

Gu Tianming was in mid-air, at a time when his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated. He had no time to change direction and could only hastily raise his arm to block.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Gu Tianming was sent flying by the hammer blow, his wings flapping wildly as he crashed to the ground.

Meanwhile, Xie Xie had already stepped on Gu Tianyue's shoulder and pressed down from mid-air.

The Light Dragon Dagger stopped above Gu Tianyue's head.

Gu Tianyue dared not move again and was forced to land with him.

As for Gu Tianming, who was smashed down by Tang Wulin's hammer, his condition was even worse. He had just crashed to the ground and hadn't even had a chance to flap his wings and get up when Tang Wulin stepped forward, his heavy hammer blocking his way, forcing him to stop moving.

"Class 5, Grade 1 wins!"

When Long Hengxu announced the results, even his own voice carried a hint of barely concealed tremor.

If we're talking about yesterday's match, Class 5 won because of their individual strength.

So, in today's match, their victory was due to their teamwork.

The three Gu brothers should have been the more coordinated ones, but they underestimated their opponents from beginning to end. On the other hand, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue from Class 5 executed their attacks flawlessly, with almost no wasted time, and their coordination was impeccable.

What alarmed Long Hengxu even more was Gu Yue.

Yesterday she clearly used earth element control, but today she's using ice and wind elements.

Twin Martial Souls?

Thinking about this, he felt a lump in his throat again.

How did I end up putting such a student in Class 5?

Ye Yingrong stood below the stage, speechless.

She had painstakingly trained the three Gu brothers for months, believing she had perfected their flight coordination. But she never expected that, just when she thought victory was assured, the opposing team would use an almost astonishing method to completely reverse the situation in the air.

Gu Yue's ice hockey pucks were placed and timed with near-frightening precision.

Xie Xie's control over his body far surpasses that of his peers. Despite not being able to fly, he was able to launch such a continuous pursuit in the air by repeatedly using leverage.

This can no longer be explained by simply saying "talented".

She took a deep breath, barely suppressing the shock in her heart, and turned to smile slightly at Wu Changkong.

"Congratulations, Ms. Wu. From now on, you'll be in Class 3."

Wu Changkong's expression remained calm.

"That's not my goal," he said calmly. "Thank you for acknowledging my limitations."

After saying this, he turned to look at the three people who had just stepped off the stage. His gaze swept over them, but he did not immediately comment on the battle. He then walked straight toward the dormitory building.

"Is Teacher Wu satisfied with us or not?" Xie Xie asked Tang Wulin, watching his retreating figure.

Tang Wulin shrugged.

"How would I know?" He thought for a moment, then added, "But I guess they're letting us figure it out ourselves."

Gu Yue nodded, his expression having regained its composure.

"We shouldn't have taken the initiative just now."

Xie Xie was taken aback. "Huh?"

Gu Yue said calmly, "We can wait on the ground. If they fly, we won't, and they'll have to come down. As long as they're willing to enter our attack range, this match will be a foregone conclusion. Fighting like this today is too risky."

She paused, then looked at Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.

"Next time, I can't be so impulsive."
