Divine Seal: Child of the Elements, starting with a contract with Gu Yuena.

With a light tap of the Ancient Staff, elements rapidly converged, the temperature of the trial grounds rose slightly, and a fireball the size of a basketball appeared at the tip of the staff.

First-tier fire magic, Fireball.

Xuanyuan Yan looked at him with disdain. How dare he show off such trash magic?

He muttered incantations, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from the tip of his golden staff. Several sharp golden blades instantly formed, carrying violent spiritual power, and swept towards Gu Aoxi like a whirlwind, cutting the air with a piercing shriek.

Fourth-tier light magic, Light Blade Storm.

The fireball made contact with the light blade and was sliced ​​in two, while the light blade only dimmed slightly.

However, Gu'ao's incantations never stopped.

Water jets, earth spikes, wind blades, light arrows, and dark bullets are all the most basic first-tier magics of their respective attributes. Xuan Yuan Yan's eyes grew increasingly disdainful.

Xuanyuan Yan was blinded by his emotions, but Tan Wan and Lin Xin saw through his scheme.

To simultaneously cast six different types of magic with a third-tier cultivation level, even if it's only a first-tier magic, is by no means an easy task.

Judging from Gu Ao's expression, this was far from his limit.

Five first-tier spells crashed into the storm of light blades one after another, the five spells working in an orderly fashion to meet the single light blade from multiple directions.

A series of muffled explosions rang out, neutralizing most of the golden light blades. The few remaining blades, their power greatly diminished, crashed heavily into a suddenly rising brownish-yellow earthen wall.

Second-tier earth magic, Earth Wall.

How could this be? A hint of surprise flashed through Xuan Yuan Yan's mind. Even if his Light Blade Storm was weakened by five first-tier spells, it shouldn't be unable to penetrate even a single second-tier defensive spell.

However, Tan Wan and Lin Xin, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, could see that the rising earthen wall was not a single wall, but a combination of multiple walls. They saw at least four walls stacked on top of each other in an instant, forming a thicker and harder wall with a defensive capability no less than that of a third-tier magic.

This is a combination magic!

Although it was only a combination of second-tier magic, Gu Ao was only at the third-tier cultivation level, and judging from the fact that Xuan Yuan Yan hadn't noticed it, his proficiency with this combination of magic was probably quite high.

Xuanyuan Yan launched another attack. After a deep chant, five light bullets emitting dazzling light were swiftly fired.

These are Tier 3 Magic Light Blast Bombs. Five Light Blast Bombs may not be as powerful as the previous Light Blade Storm, but they are faster.

Gu Ao's expression was calm and composed. A ball of flame and a whirlwind appeared simultaneously, and then, to the astonishment of the three, they slowly merged together, forming a red and blue energy mixture with a raging fire inside and a howling whirlwind outside.

"Fusion magic?" The three of them exclaimed in shock almost simultaneously.

If combination magic is the addition of magic of the same element, then fusion magic is the multiplication of magic of different elements.

Tan Wan and Lin Xin are wind-type and fire-type respectively, so they can naturally recognize the magic used by Gu Ao—Rending Wind Howl and Fireball, both of which are third-tier magic.

Wind fuels the fire, and the combination of these two elements is one of the most frequently used combinations.

However, mages who can control multiple elements are ultimately in the minority; in most cases, mages of different attributes cast spells together.

Wind and fire merge into magic, and the wind and fire spread like wildfire!

The fusion magic, comparable to a fourth-tier spell, easily shattered the five third-tier light explosions and continued its trajectory towards Xuan Yuan Yan.

Xuanyuan Yan's expression changed slightly. He quickly chanted, and a hemispherical shield made of pure light elements enveloped him. The surface of the shield rippled, but it still steadily withstood the attack.

Fourth-tier light magic, Holy Spirit Barrier.

After several rounds of fighting, Xuan Yuan Yan found himself at a disadvantage. Jealousy and resentment welled up in his heart, and his expression turned ferocious.

"He's just relying on the same origin spirit furnace!" His tone was full of sourness. Even he didn't have a spirit furnace, but the other party was given a same origin spirit furnace by the temple master as soon as he joined the temple.

Having said that, he held nothing back and began to recite a spell at an extremely fast pace that was far longer and more complex than any of his previous spells. The light elements that were wandering in the trial grounds seemed to be summoned and rushed and converged madly toward his location.

As the incantation ended, he glanced coldly at Gu Ao, a cruel pleasure in his eyes.

"You asked for this!"

Fifth-tier light magic, Radiant Judgment!

A thick beam of pure light, containing terrifying purifying power, shot out suddenly from the tip of Xuanyuan Yan's staff like a sword of divine punishment, pointing directly at Gu Ao.

Gu Ao's chanting quickened, and a familiar incantation flowed from his mouth. Immediately afterward, the golden light blade took shape again. It was the first magic used by Xuan Yuan Yan—Light Blade Storm. Moreover, its formation and launch speed were even faster than when Xuan Yuan Yan cast it!

Xuanyuan Yan did not notice this subtle difference, and only responded with a mocking sneer. Fifth rank versus fourth rank, the result was a foregone conclusion in his eyes, and he thought it was an overestimation of his own abilities.

However, the sneer on his lips quickly froze, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He was horrified to see that in the storm of light blades, the last golden light blade suddenly accelerated in the air and struck a light blade in front of it with perfect precision. The light blade that was struck then, under the force of the impact, crashed into another light blade even faster... This cycle repeated until a giant light blade, three times the size of a single light blade, condensed and took shape.

The giant light blade collided with the light of judgment. After a brief stalemate, the light blade dissipated and disappeared, followed closely by several smaller light blades.

Xuanyuan Yan's golden magic robe shone brightly. When not infused with spiritual power, it was just an ordinary, gorgeous garment. After being infused with spiritual power, even after he used a fifth-tier magic beyond his level, he still had the energy to follow up with a fourth-tier magic.

"Xuanyuan Yan, you—"

Tan Wan and Lin Xin's voices were drowned out by a loud bang. Blinding light and dense light blades enveloped Gu Ao, and billowing smoke suddenly burst forth.

Tan Wan and Lin Xin peered tentatively through half-open eyes, afraid of seeing a tragic scene.

A hint of regret flashed in Xuan Yuan Yan's eyes. The other party was Elder Yu's disciple and was highly regarded by the Palace Master. If something really went wrong, he was afraid he would be in trouble.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a crimson shield stood firmly in front of Gu'ao, its surface smooth and intact, without a single crack.

A moment later, the fire shield gradually dissipated, and at the same time, the light emanating from the wrist guards worn by Gu Ao slowly dimmed.

Fifth-tier defensive magic, Elemental Fire Shield!

The Spirit Demon level bracers come with their own magic, can be used once a day, and do not consume spiritual power.

The moment the fire shield vanished, the long-brewing raging fire behind it was already poised to erupt!
