225 Gu Yue Acts

Zhou Tian’er smiled sweetly at Tang Wulin, while Zhou Hanyou’s pointed afinger at him, summoned giant icicles from the ground to form an ice prisonaround him. Not only did it restrict his movements, it besieged him on allsides.

Zhou Hanyou’s first soul skill was Ice Wall, her second Icicle. Her icicles,however, weren’t ordinary; they were powerful variant icicles. There werenumerous ways she could use them.  

The icicles were stronger than the Ice Wall from before, forcing Tang Wulinback when he charged at them. While he struggled to escape this icy prison,cold air circulated and invaded his body.

Although his body was far tougher than an average person, he wasn’t immune tothe cold and was soon shivering nonstop.

Those sisters work so well together! Furthermore, they’re clearly still goingeasy on me. I would be impaled by icicles rather than imprisoned if Zhou Hanyouwasn’t.

Tang Wulin didn’t dare dawdle; he summoned a strand of Bluesilver Grass tolift him out of the prison.

Yet at that moment, the icicles lengthened until they intersected and cut offhis last escape route.

A second control! This is clearly a second controlled soul skill! She is veryskillful, and she must have high spiritual power. It can’t be any lower thanmine.

It seems like we can’t hold back. This Sealand team is far stronger than weestimated.

“Gu Yue!” Tang Wulin shouted as golden scales rippled across his right arm,his hand transforming into a dragon claw before he punched the ice before him.

Bang!

The icicle shattered into fine powder under the crushing effect of his dragonclaw. Tang Wulin rushed out of the opening in the next moment.

Although his Bluesilver Grass was suppressed by Zhou Tian’er, it wasn’tabsolute.

He withdrew the remaining Bluesilver Grass, only letting a single goldenstrand shoot straight towards Zhou Tian’er while he followed closely behind.

Hearing Tang Wulin’s shout, Gu Yue finally made her move.

Green light enveloped her and she flew over to him, her first soul ringlighting up in the meantime before her fingers twisted to summon a fireballthat blazed toward the two sisters.

Regardless of whether it be Wood Spirit or Ice Spirit, both were subdued byfire.

Elemental-type? And she seems to have more than one?

Zhou Tian’er and Zhou Hanyou were both startled by the sight of the greenlight around Gu Yue’s feet and the fireball arcing toward them. Aselemental-type soul master’s themselves, it was only natural they couldrecognize another elemental-type soul master.

They began to tremble at the realization that she could use both wind and fire.

Fire and ice were opposites, mutually subduing one another. Zhou Tian’er’sWood Spirit, however, was powerless against fire. Only Zhou Hanyou had a chanceof fighting back.

An icicle half a meter long suddenly appeared and clashed with the fireball.Cobalt and crimson light exploded from their collision; the two were evenlymatched

Zhou Tian’er was not idle either. A vine flew toward Tang Wulin in an attemptto bind him. Her second soul ring had not dimmed the entire time, continuallysuppressing Tang Wulin.

Her first soul skill was Thorny Vines and her second was Wood Spirit.

Wood Spirit was a support-type soul skill that enhanced her other soul skillswhile suppressing wood-attribute soul beasts and martial souls. As long as heropponent’s wood-attribute did not surpass hers, they would suffer from itseffects.

Thus, in a sense, Tang Wulin was destined to be suppressed by Zhou Tian’ersince birth.

Zhou Tian’er’s Thorny Vines, after being enhanced by her Wood Spirit, haddoubled in thickness and were now as wide as a child’s arm. Inch-long thornsjutted out, so sharp they were sure to torment anyone caught in it.

Tang Wulin recalled his golden dragon claw; its consumption was simply toogreat. He also couldn’t use his Bluesilver Grass under the effects of the WoodSpirit’s suppression, so the single strand of golden Bluesilver Grass was hislast hope.

The strand of grass slammed into the ground in a flash of golden light, itsrebounding energy sending Tang Wulin high into the air as he evaded the ThornyVines’ attack.

“Still want to run, huh?” A beautiful smile blossomed on Zhou Tian’er’s lipsas the Thorny Vines swayed on the ground. She believed that it was impossiblefor Tang Wulin to evade her attacks in the air.

Yet at that moment a green light enveloped him, slowing his descent. In thenext instant, a icicle flew under his foot.

Though this icicle was far smaller than Zhou Hanyou’s, it was more than enoughto act as a foothold for Tang Wulin. He pushed off the ice step and shot downtoward Zhou Hanyou.

Seven fireballs blinked into existence around him at the same time, followinghis descent.

Gu Yue did not pause for a single moment; fireball after fireball flew outwithout an end in sight. With soul power ranked in the twenties, her fieryassault utterly subdued Zhou Hanyou and gave her no room for distractions.

The golden dragon claw appeared once more. Even if he faced another wall ofice or an icicle, Tang Wulin had no intention of dodging. He would charge rightthrough and defeat Zhou Hanyou first.

The three-ringed Zhou Hanyou was their largest threat.

Zhou Hanyou frowned as she felt the pressure of the incoming aerial assault.She hadn’t expected their three ten-year-old opponents would be so troublesome.

They had researched Tang Wulin, understood his abilities, and formulatedtactics to take him down. However, she was shocked that Xie Xie could actuallysingle-handedly keep Wang Dongqi occupied. In fact, he even seemed to be in theadvantageous position.

Then there was Gu Yue, the biggest surprise of the trio. In the short time shemade her moves, she had used three different elements. Although they couldn’ttell what her soul skill was, the synergistic effect between those threeelements was enough to turn the tide. At the very least, it was enough to bringboth sides back to balance.

They were already well aware of how dangerous Tang Wulin’s golden dragon clawwas. With him almost upon her and having an entourage of fireballs behind him,Zhou Hanyou knew she would lose if she didn’t reveal her cards.

Her purple soul ring lit up, instantly transforming her aura as the mistclinging to her body congealed into an icy blue skin. Waves of absolute coldrolled off of her.

Ice Spirit!

First was Zhou Tian’er’s Wood Spirit that could completely oppress Tang Wulin,and now Zhou Hanyou revealed a thousand-year Ice Spirit! Similar to WoodSpirit, it was an elemental amplification soul skill. The difference betweenhundred-year and thousand-year was unfathomable however, not to mention thatthis was actually her third soul skill!

A giant ice wall erected in front of her the same moment she activated herthird soul skill.

The fireballs smashed into the wall and were extinguished effortlessly, butTang Wulin crashed into it resolutely. He punched the wall with his goldendragon claw so hard that it embedded inside. Cracks ran along the surface, butthe wall didn’t shatter this time.

Sharp shards of ice formed around Zhou Hanyou. She felt humiliated; to thinkthat a mere ten-year-old child had forced her to use her third soul skill!

Strengthened by Ice Spirit, her icicles were now no less than one meter inlength and infinitely colder and sharper than before.

She smacked her palm on the ice wall in front of her.

Tang Wulin felt his body tremble and shouted in alarm. He hastily circulatedhis soul power to defend himself and in the next second the ice wall exploded,sending him flying backward.

Tang Wulin had faced a three-ringed soul master before, but only now did heunderstand how dreadful a powerful three-ringed soul master was.

Freezing air drilled into his body, his blood sluggish from the cold.Explosive energy ran along his veins. If it wasn’t for his sturdier-than-normalbody, he would have already lost consciousness.

Shards from the ice wall shot toward him while icicles rained upon Gu Yue.

When Gu Yue and Xie Xie saw that Tang Wulin was sent flying, they both criedout. While Xie Xie’s was filled with astonishment, Gu Yue’s was fueled withrage.

An eery glint flashed in Gu Yue’s eyes before she disappeared in a silverflash, only to reappear next to Tang Wulin. The icicle shower hit nothing butair.

This is…

Zhou Hanyou froze for a moment. After all, she still lacked battle experience.And in that momentary pause, the icicles escaped her range of secondarymanipulation. They continued onward unguided until they shattered against thearena’s barrier so hard that it rippled.
