The next second, Gu Yue's body erupted with a burst of formidable Soul Power...
Sensing the strength of this Soul Power, Xu Sheng thought to himself, "She's already reached Level Twenty-Two? Worthy of the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King indeed."
Compared to the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, it was a world of difference—of course, only in terms of cultivation speed!
Immediately afterward, Gu Yue called out sternly, "Teacher Xu, be careful!"
Barely visible, as her mind willed it, the fire elements in front of her rapidly gathered together, forming a massive fireball, four to five meters in size, plummeting straight towards Xu Sheng...
Facing the scorching fireball that was nearly engulfing herself, Xu Sheng merely extended a finger...
Then with a gentle tap, in an instant, the fireball, radiating intense heat, turned into nothingness...
It was as if nothing had happened at all!
This shocking scene caused Gu Yue's Beautiful Eyes to suddenly contract, "What!! She managed... she managed to defend against my Fireball with just a finger!"
Although Teacher Xu was a Soul Sage, facing her own Fireball, she hadn't even released any Soul Power and yet easily shattered it!
Xu Sheng's dark eyes gazed at Gu Yue opposite her, "Is this your limit? Worse than I imagined."
Although she knew Xu Sheng's words were intentionally provoking her anger, Gu Yue still felt very discontented deep down...
The next second, Gu Yue exerted all her strength, gathering chilling ice shards on one side and blinding light waves on the other...
But upon closer observation, it would be discovered that Gu Yue had intervals when controlling these two elemental forms!
To be precise, they were not controlled simultaneously!
Then, these shards of ice and waves of light locked onto Xu Sheng, bombarding her overwhelmingly...
"Bang Bang Bang!!!"
The sound of fierce and intense explosions erupted instantaneously, forming a thick Black Mist that obscured the front...
Looking at the motionless Black Mist ahead, Gu Yue's cheeks showed a hint of worry as she thought, "Oh no! Did I hurt Teacher Xu?"
The dense fog slowly dissipated, revealing Xu Sheng, unharmed...
It was safe to say, Gu Yue's previous thoughts were incredibly naive!
Even if she took the attack head-on, to Xu Sheng, it felt no more impactful than being struck by a wisp of cotton...
At that moment, Xu Sheng's figure suddenly disappeared, reappearing behind Gu Yue at a speed invisible to the naked eye...
She immediately placed her hand on the latter's shoulder and said indifferently, "Gu Yue, follow my spiritual power and feel it! As long as you train according to this rhythm, you can achieve distraction control."
In an instant, an intense and vast spiritual power enveloped Gu Yue, forcibly dragging her consciousness into it...
After a moment, Xu Sheng withdrew her hand from her shoulder and smiled, "Gu Yue, do you understand now?"
She had only demonstrated it once, but she believed that with Gu Yue's talent, she would easily grasp it!
True to her expectations, Gu Yue's Beautiful Eyes suddenly opened, sparkling with insight, and she immediately stretched her spiritual power outward, simultaneously capturing in both directions...
"Teacher Xu, is this right?"
Although she was using invisible spiritual power, she believed that with Xu Sheng's strength, it would be perceivable!
Xu Sheng nodded in approval and said, "That's right! Keep practicing like this more, and ask me if you have any questions!"
Although it only lasted for a brief one or two seconds, the fact that she could comprehend so quickly was still quite surprising!
...
In the following days, the other zero class students were all participating in duels held by East Sea Academy...
As for the final results, the team of Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, and Wei Xiaofeng was eliminated early by the senior grade group!
And Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, and Xu Xiaoyan placed third!
Yu Zhen looked down at the students below and announced, "Thanks to everyone's active participation, this competition has concluded successfully! Now, I will announce the top three ranked competitors!"
"First, the students who got first place are…, those who got second place are, and securing third place are Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan!"
"Let us congratulate them with a round of warm applause!!"
In an instant, there was a burst of applause…
Wei Xiaofeng clenched his fists tightly, resentfully saying, "Damn! With our abilities, it's still too much of a stretch to compete against the upperclassmen!"
Zhang Yangzi sighed, "No choice, even with the use of Soul Fusion Skill, we still lost!"
Wang Jinxi didn't speak, but his eyes filled with intense unwillingness…
They were all too aware that the reason they had defeated the upperclassmen last time was entirely due to Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan!
Had it been them, they would have been completely wiped out within minutes!
Xie Xie patted Wei Xiaofeng on the shoulder, consoling him, "Don't be sad, even though you didn't place… pff, I can't keep this up, hahahaha."
Halfway through, his face had already twisted with laughter…
Wei Xiaofeng pushed him away and said sourly, "Get lost, don't be all sarcastic here; it's just an Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform and a Spirit Soul, I don't even care!"
Xie Xie smacked his lips, "Tsk tsk tsk, feeling jealous? How about I give my spot to you?"
At those words, Wei Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly sparkled, "Really??"
Xie Xie rolled his eyes, "In your dreams! Dreams have everything!"
From the side, Tang Wulin interrupted, "Xie Xie, that's enough! We only got third place, nothing to brag about."
Xie Xie crossed his arms and gave a rather proud "Hmph!" but didn't continue…
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes flickered as she suggested, "Since the competition is over, let's go check on Teacher Xu and Gu Yue!"
Wang Jinxi nodded, "Yeah, let's see what Gu Yue has become under Teacher Xu's personal instruction!"
They were all incredibly envious of Xu Sheng's individual teaching!
Even if they couldn't have it, they still longed to feast their eyes!
...
Shortly after, the group arrived at an open area and soon found Xu Sheng and Gu Yue…
At the moment, the latter was panting heavily, her forehead covered in sweat…
Wei Xiaofeng furrowed his brow, "Doesn't look much different to me!"
Wang Jinxi nodded in affirmation, "Hmm! Both her soul power rank and aura seem no different from several days ago."
Xie Xie curiously said, "Hey, Gu Yue wouldn't have learned nothing, would she?"
Tang Wulin interrupted their discussion, "Let's not talk now, just watch and see!"
However, the very next second, when they witnessed what Gu Yue did, it was as if they had seen something horrifying; each of their faces showed a look of shock…
