Chapter 1976: Mental Manifestation
Chapter 1976: Mental Manifestation
Azure wind blew toward Tang Wulin, instantly forming countless blades of wind. The entire sky was illuminated the same dazzling azure color, and sharp wind blades were converging toward Tang Wulin from all directions.
The first time he had seen Gu Yue unleash wind elemental attacks was during their first meeting. At the time, Tang Wulin was cultivating under Wu Zhangkong's tutelage, and Gu Yue had missed the registration window, so Wu Zhangkong made her go up against Xie Xie.
During that battle, she displayed her powerful control over four elements, easily defeating Xie Xie, and the first element that she had unleashed was none other than wind.
What came after wind? It was fire!
Tang Wulin swept his Golden Dragon Spear through the air in a profound trajectory, unleashing a Profound Heavenly Circle that devoured the oncoming wind blades like a black hole.
Right at this moment, the azure wind transformed into countless fireballs that exploded in mid-air, sending powerful shockwaves surging in all directions alongside waves of scorching fire.
All of the oxygen in the air was instantly incinerated, thereby creating a vacuum.
The scorching heat wasn't enough to hurt Tang Wulin, but the shockwaves erupting in all directions struck him with a sense of pressure.
Her elemental control was still as powerful as ever.
Tang Wulin could still clearly recall his first conversation with Gu Yue.
......
Gu Yue’s steps were light and quick. As she reached Tang Wulin, she asked him with curiosity, “Why did you wrap iron chains around your body?”
Tang Wulin replied, “To build up my strength! The teacher gave me stricter requirements. You sure are formidable.”
Gu Yue grinned. “I’m really not that great. None of my elements are even that strong. It was just that I had controlled them well. All martial souls are the same. As long as you have enough soul power and you can fully comprehend as well as control your martial soul well, then it will bring you surprises.”
......
"Boom!"
A massive fireball exploded right in front of Tang Wulin, and he was snapped out of his reverie as he was sent flying back through the air.
Gu Yuena immediately pressed her advantage, pointing her Silver Dragon Spear in his direction to unleash one ice spear after another.
Every single one of those ice spears possessed offensive power on the same level as Guan Yue, and they instantly reached Tang Wulin, cutting off all avenues for evasion.
Tang Wulin retaliated with his Golden Dragon Spear, unleashing countless spear projections with his Fury of the Masses, all of which struck the ice spears with unerring accuracy, destroying them on contact.
As a result, a vast expanse of powdered ice cascaded down from above, creating a glorious spectacle to behold.
At this point, the powerful beings from both camps had already retreated far away.
This was a battle of the godly level, and even the shockwaves could severely injure or even kill them.
Silver light flashed from Gu Yuena's body, and in the next instant, she was already right in front of Tang Wulin, having passed through his Fury of the Masses.
She was so close to him that she didn't even have the space to maneuver with her Silver Dragon Spear, and she raised her left hand before thrusting her palm toward his chest.
Tang Wulin also reacted very quickly, having already prepared himself for an attack as soon as Gu Yuena vanished in the distance, so he was able to catch her hand with his own.
In the instant that he grabbed onto her hand, Tang Wulin was struck by just how slender and soft it was.
Not long ago, he had held her in his arms, and she allowed him to play with her slender fingers as he pleased.
Gu Yuena was also momentarily rooted to the spot. His hand was firm and warm, and in the instant that it grabbed onto her hand, the golden scales had receded.
This was an extremely brief moment, but to them, it was as if an eternity had passed by.
All of a sudden, Tang Wulin's expression stiffened, and his grip around Gu Yuena's hand also loosened slightly. He had just caught sight of the dark blue ring on Gu Yuena's ring finger.
"Thump!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Yuena pressed her palm forward, imprinting it onto his chest before unleashing her Seven-elemental Explosion. The seven elements both enhanced and conflicted with one another, creating a massive explosion in the form of a rainbow ball of light.
Tang Wulin was sent flying by the explosion, but even as he hurtled back through the air, the only thing he could think of was the ring on her finger.
......
“I can’t finish this, you can have it.” At this moment, a sound came to him from the side, and then came the appearance of a huge snowy white bun, which was then placed on Tang Wulin’s plate.
Tang Wulin raised his head and looked. Wasn’t it Gu Yue who gave him this bun? However, she had changed into the academy’s uniform and looked similar to the students around her.
“Thank you.” Tang Wulin nodded towards her. He always had the tendency of generating good feelings towards individuals who provided him with food.
Gu Yue nodded towards him and turned to leave.
Zhou Zhangxi moved towards Tang Wulin mysteriously, “ Wulin, from my view, hasn’t she fallen for you? Today, after joining us in our class, she took the initiative to speak with you. And now, she’s even given you a bun. It seems to me that she’s smitten with you.”
......
That was the first time that she had extended a kind gesture toward him, and from that point onward, she had always been very good to him.
Only now as Tang Wulin thought back to that time did he realize that it was the happiest time of his life.
At the very least, he didn't have to suffer and bear the burden of so many responsibilities as he was doing now.
The Seven-elemental Explosion wasn't all that painful for him as it had been significantly nullified by his four-word battle armor and dragon's repulse, and he was suddenly struck by the feeling that this was a very enjoyable experience.
As he battled Gu Yuena, the memories of their shared past were all flooding back into his mind, and he wanted to imprint these memories even deeper into his heart.
Right at this moment, Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear was thrust toward him, and he unleashed his Profound Heavenly Circle once again to dispel the attack.
Tang Wulin's eyes were completely vacant, and he seemed to be battling purely on instinct alone.
Gu Yuena's heart was throbbing with pain at the sight of his vacant expression, and all of a sudden, she was struck by an intense burst of fury and indignation.
Why did the heavens have to be so cruel?
They were destined to be enemies from the very beginning, so why did the heavens still make them fall so deeply in love with each other?
A resounding dragon's roar rang out as Gu Yuena transformed into a silver dragon, then released a burst of rainbow breath directly toward Tang Wulin.
In the instant that the breath was unleashed, all of the humans and soul beasts hovering in the air were instantly forced downward. In that instant, all of the elemental particles in the air had been sucked away by Gu Yuena.
Everyone was naturally quite startled by this, and they hurriedly released their soul power to stabilize their bodies, but they were still forced to descend toward the ground below.
As a result, Long Yeyue and the others had to scramble to control the 15 unconscious Soul Masters that had been tossed to them by Tang Wulin, and only then were they able to slowly descend to the ground.
As they looked up into the sky, they discovered that Tang Wulin had been completely engulfed by Gu Yuena's rainbow breath.
Zang Xin heaved a forlorn sigh upon seeing this; he already knew that there was no way Tang Wulin would be able to perform to his full capacity against Gu Yuena.
However, right at this moment, a rippling image suddenly appeared behind the area that was enveloped within the rainbow breath.
The image gradually became clearer, and it was even releasing sound that was audible to everyone present.
