Chapter 115 Lu Xingchen: This is our friendship and bond!
"How is this possible?! That child can actually manipulate elements?!"
On the spectator stands outside the martial arts arena, Leng Yaozhu suddenly stood up, her delicate face filled with disbelief.
Just moments before, she had full confidence in her disciple Gu Yue. Even as Lu Xingchen's feet lit up with two yellow soul rings, revealing his cultivation as a second-ring Great Soul Master, the certainty in her eyes did not fade in the slightest.
After all, she had already tested Gu Yue's strength.
With the power of a one-ring Soul Master and the incredible ability to control all seven elements, he is virtually invincible among his peers. Even against a two-ring Great Soul Master, he has the strength to fight, and his win rate is astonishingly high.
Even when facing a three-ring Soul Master, as long as Gu Yue's soul power is not exhausted, the other party will not be able to harm her in the slightest.
Putting aside everything else, the teleportation ability granted by the spatial element alone is enough to make Gu Yue invincible. Coupled with the bombardment of the other six elements, it is enough to drag any opponent into a desperate situation where they are exhausted.
When Lu Xingchen condensed an ice shield to block Gu Yue's first wave of attacks, Leng Yaozhu only thought of him as an ordinary ice-attribute martial soul controller and did not take him seriously.
But when Lu Xingchen unleashed three completely different elemental attacks—wind blades, fireballs, and earth blocks—Leng Yaozhu's lips twitched slightly, and her confidence faded a bit—this child can actually control four elements.
But she quickly calmed down.
It's only four elements, but Yue'er can control seven. Her methods are far more sophisticated than his, so dealing with it will definitely not be a problem.
It wasn't until Lu Xingchen's palm lit up with light and darkness, and two completely opposite orbs of light crushed Gu Yue's attack with overwhelming force, forcing her to use teleportation to dodge, that Leng Yaozhu finally frowned.
"Six—six kinds of elemental manipulation?"
Leng Yaozhu bit her lower lip, her fingertips unconsciously clenching, forcibly comforting herself, "He only has one less element than Yue'er, so right now he only has an advantage in soul power. Once Yue'er's cultivation level improves, defeating him will be a piece of cake!"
A temporary win or loss doesn't matter. Gu Yue's potential is ultimately far superior to this kid's!
However, when Lu Xingchen's body lit up with silver light and he used spatial teleportation to appear in front of Gu Yue in an instant, followed by purple lightning flashing in his palm, which made her tremble all over and her long hair stand on end, the last trace of color on Leng Yaozhu's face completely disappeared.
She stared blankly at the composed young man in the center of the room, completely dumbfounded.
"How...how could this be?"
Leng Yaozhu's voice trembled, her gaze fixed intently on Lu Xingchen, as if trying to see right through him: "What exactly is this child's martial soul?! How can he control so many elements? Could it be—that he and Yue'er have the same type of martial soul?!"
Gu Yue's control over the seven elements is an unparalleled talent never before seen in the history of Soul Masters! When she first saw it, she was so amazed by this heaven-defying ability that she was speechless.
But what's going on with Lu Xingchen right now?!
Ice, wind, fire, earth, light, darkness, space, lightning —
A full eight elements! He has actually demonstrated control over all eight elements!
Leng Yaozhu felt a sudden dizziness, and a sense of absurdity welled up in her heart.
Could it be that elemental manipulation martial souls are so worthless these days? Wasn't it enough that one prodigy like Gu Yue appeared, and now an even more outrageous one has emerged?!
"Oh dear, Little Star is getting more and more outrageous."
Just as Leng Yaozhu was in shock, a light, airy voice, with a hint of reproachful laughter, came from beside her.
Leng Yaozhu suddenly turned her head and saw Yali smiling as she looked at the center of the martial arts arena. Her tone was feigned distress, but the smugness in her eyes was impossible to hide: "How could he hit a girl so hard? I'll definitely have to give him a good talking to later."
She paused, as if remembering something, and added, "Back at Shrek Academy, he already electrocuted a girl named Ye Xinglan. Now he's doing it again. Don't worry, Yaozhu, I'll definitely teach him a lesson after this competition."
Leng Yaozhu's lips twitched, forcing a smile that was more like a grimace, her fingertips almost digging into her palms: "Sister Yali, what are you saying? In duels between Soul Masters, there's no difference between men and women. This time, Yue'er was too careless; consider it a lesson for her. But—"
She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging anger and resentment in her heart. Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she pressed on, "I'm rather curious, what exactly is Lu Xingchen's martial soul? How can he control so many elements?"
Upon hearing this, Ya Li gently rested her cheek on her left hand, tilted her head to look at her, and looked at her with a hint of teasing in her eyes, as if she was deliberately making things difficult for her: "Oh dear, I remember Brother Ming once said that when you ask someone a question, you should say 'please', right?"
That bitch!
A vein bulged on Leng Yaozhu's forehead. She spoke slowly and deliberately, almost squeezing out each word through clenched teeth: "Then may I ask Sister Yali, what is the martial spirit of this child named Lu Xingchen?"
Seeing Leng Yaozhu's barely suppressed anger, Yali's smile grew even brighter. She chuckled softly and said slowly, "Little Yaozhu, you don't need to be so polite. Hmm—let me think carefully about how to explain it so you can understand."
.
Yali's mind raced.
Now that Lu Xingchen has revealed her ability to manipulate elements, even if she tries to hide it, with the resources of the Spirit Pagoda, if Leng Yaozhu really wants to investigate, she will eventually find some clues.
Rather than letting the other party investigate secretly and cause unnecessary trouble, it's better to proactively reveal some information. This will not only shut Leng Yaorong up but also prevent the Spirit Pagoda's actions from disrupting Lu Xingchen's daily life.
Ya Li hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, her tone somewhat casual: "Little Star's martial soul is actually just a very ordinary gemstone martial soul, with abilities leaning more towards healing. As for his ability to manipulate elements, it's actually bestowed upon him by his bloodline power."
"The power of bloodline?!"
Leng Yaozhu gasped in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening in shock.
She was naturally familiar with the power of bloodlines. In the world of Soul Masters, there were indeed many families with long-standing traditions who, through the power of their bloodlines, could unleash abilities far exceeding those of their peers.
What kind of bloodline could possibly control so many elements?!
"It's a mutated silver dragon bloodline~"
Ya Li smiled slightly, her tone light and airy, yet it struck Leng Yaozhu's heart like a thunderbolt: "This bloodline also endowed Xiao Xingchen with a spiritual talent far exceeding that of ordinary people. Speaking of which, his spiritual power has already reached the Spirit Sea Realm."
"6
Yali didn't shy away from it at all.
The Spirit Pagoda has a profound foundation. As long as Leng Yaozhu is willing to consult ancient books, it wouldn't be difficult for her to guess the origin of Lu Xingchen's bloodline.
But she wasn't worried at all. With her backing her up, what did Shrek Academy matter? Even if the Spirit Pagoda was curious about the child's bloodline, it would never dare to make a move easily.
Moreover, Ya Li specifically attributed Lu Xingchen's powerful mental strength to the blessing of the Silver Dragon bloodline.
After all, during this competition, when Lu Xingchen used elemental manipulation, the fluctuations of his spiritual sea realm mental power were impossible to conceal.
Rather than letting Leng Yaozhu make wild guesses, it's better to take the initiative and provide a reasonable explanation.
As long as Lu Xingchen's core talent of absorbing faith power is not exposed, revealing some of the rest appropriately is not a big deal.
"Spiritual power—the spiritual power of the Spirit Sea Realm?!"
Leng Yaozhu exclaimed again, turning her head sharply and fixing her gaze on the boy in the center of the training ground.
She was so shocked by Lu Xingchen's ability to control the eight elements that she didn't notice his mental energy fluctuations at all!
If one calms down and carefully perceives it, the spiritual pressure belonging to the Spirit Sea Realm, although deliberately concealed by the young man, is still clearly discernible.
Leng Yaozhu felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen, and her whole body was numb!
"Oops~"
Just as Leng Yaozhu was in despair, Yali suddenly leaned closer, her voice filled with laughter, as if deliberately showing off: "I'm so sorry, Yaozhu. I really didn't expect that such a coincidence could happen in this world. You finally found a disciple with outstanding talent, and it turns out that she is so similar to my disciple."
She paused, her eyes brimming with mockery, each word piercing Leng Yaozhu's heart like a knife: "The only difference is that your disciple is a girl, and my disciple is a boy. And, well, he's 'a little better' than your disciple in every way!"
Make everything a little better!
Leng Yaozhu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant. Her hands clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, and even trembling slightly.
The cultivation level of a second-ring Great Soul Master is one ring higher than that of Gu Yue;
The ability to manipulate eight elements is one more than that of Gu Yue:
The spiritual power of the Spirit Sea Realm (500 points) is far superior to that of Gu Yue's intermediate Spirit Connection Realm (200 points)!
In comparison, Lu Xingchen is indeed better than Gu Yue in every way!
asshole!
Why is God so unfair!
In the previous generation, she lost to Yali in love, and over the years, she has been ridiculed by that woman both openly and secretly.
In the next generation, she finally took in a disciple with unparalleled talent and was overjoyed, wanting to show off in front of Yali. But what happened?
That bitch Yali actually took on a disciple, and she's superior to her disciple in every way!
Could it be that she's destined to be completely dominated by Yali for the rest of her life, never able to rise above her?!
Upon thinking of this, Leng Yaozhu felt a surge of blood rush to her head, her chest heaving violently, and her soul power surging uncontrollably.
"Hehe~"
Yali, who was standing to the side, took in her exasperated look. The corners of her mouth turned up even higher, and her smile was as bright as a blooming flower.
In the training ground, the competition finally reached its climax.
"presumptuous!"
A sharp shout suddenly rang out, and Gu Yue, whose hair stood on end from the electric current, looking exactly like a "hedgehog," suddenly had a wisp of purple light in his eyes.
The purple hue spread rapidly, completely dyeing the originally clear, dark eyes a deep purple, like an amethyst containing endless majesty.
Almost simultaneously, a layer of fine silver dragon scales quietly appeared on the back of her and Lu Xingchen's tightly clasped hands, gleaming with a cold metallic luster.
An extremely terrifying dragon's might suddenly swept out from Gu Yue's body without warning.
The oppressive aura was not an outward surge of soul power, but rather a suppression originating from the deepest part of her bloodline. It was ancient, powerful, and inviolable, instantly stripping her of her girlish naiveté and transforming her into a dragon queen who looked down upon all living beings.
This is a partial dragon transformation!
The moment Gu Yue completed his dragon transformation, he immediately developed some resistance to the purple electric current that was coursing through his limbs and bones.
She raised her eyes, her purple pupils coldly fixed on the boy who still gripped her hand, her voice carrying an undeniable authority: "Kneel down!"
"Hmm"
Lu Xingchen's face turned pale instantly, and a genuine look of panic appeared between his brows, as if he had been severely shocked by the sudden pressure of his bloodline.
The lightning in his palm suddenly dimmed, the current completely dissipated, and even his body swayed uncontrollably, making him somewhat unsteady on his feet.
"Hmph, you mere Silver Dragon bloodline dares to act presumptuously before me?"
Gu Yue's lips curled into a proud smile, his eyes filled with a triumphant air of certainty.
So what if my cultivation level is higher than hers? So what if my mental strength is stronger than hers?
In the world of dragons, bloodline is the only true path to power!
She is the mighty Silver Dragon King, half of the Dragon God! In the entire world, apart from the Golden Dragon King who also inherited the power of the Dragon God, the strength of her bloodline is unparalleled!
"Kneel down obediently and recognize who your true king is!"
Gu Yue gripped Lu Xingchen's hands tightly, her arms suddenly exerting force, attempting to use the powerful physical strength of her dragon-transformed body to crush him and force him to kneel on the ground.
That despicable human brat dared to use lightning to harm her!
Therefore, it was only natural for her to use the bloodline pressure of the Silver Dragon King!
"Hmm"
Lu Xingchen gritted her teeth, her delicate face filled with unyielding stubbornness, her soul power running wildly as she struggled to resist the overwhelming dragon might.
"Oh? You can still hold on?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Gu Yue's purple eyes, quickly replaced by a deep sense of mockery. "It's no use, kneel down!"
She could clearly feel that although the human cub in front of her was still gritting his teeth and holding on, the force coming from his palm was weakening at a visible speed under the suppression of the Silver Dragon King's bloodline.
This was an inevitable outcome!
Being in such close proximity to her, the Silver Dragon King, only amplifies the power of bloodline suppression. The fact that he hasn't knelt down yet is a testament to his exceptional willpower.
But so what? Faced with absolute bloodline pressure, any resistance is nothing but a futile struggle!
Just as Lu Xingchen's knees were about to touch the cold ground of the training ground, and his body was about to collapse, a brilliant light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"I—will not kneel!"
A low shout, filled with unprecedented determination.
Immediately afterwards, the nine-colored bracelet on his right wrist suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light!
Strands of nine-colored energy, as if coming to life, spread from his wrist and instantly covered his entire body.
"Roar—roar—"
In a daze, it seemed as if thousands of dragon roars echoed throughout the entire training ground.
The dragon's roar was not a physical sound wave, but it carried the most primal majesty of the dragon race, as if cheering on the young man, or responding to some kind of summons.
"?This is----?!"
Gu Yue's purple eyes widened suddenly, and the smugness on her face froze instantly, replaced by disbelief.
She could clearly feel that the moment the nine-colored energy covered Lu Xingchen's entire body, the pressure of the Silver Dragon King bloodline that she released was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, and was completely dispelled and melted away in an instant!
This wasn't Lu Xingchen actively activating the power of the Dragon God Bracelet! Rather, it was the will of the countless dragon souls residing within the bracelet that, upon sensing his bloodline suppression, proactively awakened and protected him!
While the Silver Dragon King's bloodline suppression was indeed formidable, she was ultimately not a complete Dragon God!
Faced with this Dragon God Bracelet, which embodies the will of countless dragon souls, her bloodline pressure could not penetrate it even slightly!
But why?!
She is half of the Dragon God, the supreme Silver Dragon King!
These dragon souls are actually helping a human cub to fight against her, the dragon queen! Is that reasonable?!
Gu Yue's mind was in complete chaos, and she stood there dumbfounded.
"Oh!"
In that brief moment of distraction, Lu Xingchen had completely broken free from the bloodline suppression, and his soul power and spiritual power instantly returned to their peak state.
He suddenly flipped his wrist and broke free from Gu Yue's grip.
He quickly pulled his right hand back, swung his arm in a wide arc, and concentrated all the power in his body into his fist!
"Friends, thank you for your help!"
Lu Xingchen's voice was clear and bright, filled with youthful vigor, "Now, let me end this battle!"
He suddenly swung his right fist toward Gu Yue's cheek, and at the same time, a loud shout echoed throughout the entire training ground: "This move comes from the friendship and bonds between me and my friends! Therefore, its name is the Friendship-Breaking Fist!"
Huh? Friendship? Bonds? What is he talking about?
Gu Yue snapped back to reality, only to be met with a fist the size of a sandbag thrown by the boy. Behind him, countless phantom dragons slowly emerged, swirling and dancing, as if truly cheering him on.
This startled Gu Yue again, causing her to slow down her teleportation technique by half a beat.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud resounded throughout the entire venue.
Lu Xingchen's fist landed precisely on Gu Yue's left eye socket.
The immense force struck, and Gu Yue didn't even have time to defend herself. She was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the training ground and sliding a long distance away.
"roar""
In a daze, Gu Yue seemed to see the phantoms of thousands of giant dragons behind the boy, raising their heads and wagging their tails, letting out thunderous cheers.
"These...traitors!"
This was the last thought that flashed through Gu Yue's mind before she lost consciousness.
The next second, everything went black before her eyes, and she fell into a complete coma.
The outcome is decided!
