Chapter 83

"Let me go up too," Gu Yue said softly to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin looked at her in surprise, and Gu Yue had already stood in front of him. Tang Wulin wrapped his arms around her waist and spun her around.

Compared to Xie Xie, Gu Yue was much lighter, her slender waist seemed like it could be encircled by one hand. Throwing her up, he didn't even need the wind element to assist; he could do it easily.

Gu Yue ascended to the sky, closely following Xie Xie.

In mid-air, Gu Tianri calmly made a gesture. Facing Xie Xie who was charging at him, he didn't directly engage in combat but flapped his wings to stop his forward momentum, suddenly pausing in the air.

Their greatest advantage was flight; in the air, they had nothing to fear.

They just needed to wait for Xie Xie to weaken and fall, and then attack him, which would naturally be effective.

Ye Yngrong glanced at Wu Changkong beside her. The situation clearly showed that the students from Class 5 had acted rashly. Without the ability to fly, they had recklessly ascended, losing their own advantages. As long as the Gu brothers found the right opportunity to attack together, they could surely achieve victory.

She had watched yesterday's match. Among the three students from Class 5, Tang Wulin's soul beast was just Blue Silver Grass, but he seemed to have excellent strength, and that was all. Gu Yue's ability seemed to control the earth, but what use was that in the air? The only one who posed a real threat in today's battle was the agile attacker Xie Xie, but he couldn't fly.

Faced with flying soul masters, the normal response should be to stay on the ground and wait for an opportunity. After all, a soul master's soul power would continuously consume after releasing their soul beast, and flying soul masters would consume it faster than ordinary soul masters. With enough patience, there would still be a chance, but now they had acted rashly, charging into the air, giving the Gu brothers the opportunity to encircle and attack them in the air. The outcome was already decided!

However, in Ye Yngrong's eyes, Wu Changkong still maintained his calmness, and there was no change in his expression. Did he not care about winning or losing?

Gu Tianri retreated, and Xie Xie's body surged higher, surpassing his height. But the force Tang Wulin had used to throw him was exhausted, and he was about to fall.

At this moment, a blue light suddenly flashed under Xie Xie's feet. Xie Xie twisted his body in the air, stepping on the blue light, and immediately gained momentum, dashing straight toward Gu Tianri like an arrow.

This sudden change made Gu Tianri, who was preparing to attack, pause for a moment.

The battlefield was unpredictable, and a moment of slackness could lead to total defeat.

Seeing their older brother about to be unable to dodge, Gu Tianyue and Gu Tianming quickly flew out, flapping their wings and simultaneously activating their soul skills.

Their first soul skill was indeed not offensive; it only increased their speed.

At this time, Gu Yue had also reached mid-air. The blue light that had helped Xie Xie change direction was an ice ball she had shot. Seeing Gu Tianyue and Gu Tianming rushing to support, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of her mouth. She swung her hands, and two ice spikes flew toward them.

The Gu brothers' control in the air was quite good, and they immediately dodged upon seeing the ice spikes. However, Gu Yue's ice spikes kept coming, forcing them to have no chance to rescue Gu Tianri.

Xie Xie's speed was incredibly fast. In the air, the Light Dragon Dagger had already been slashed out. A golden light blade shot out like lightning, and Gu Tianri, who had intended to fall downward to avoid the attack, was blocked by the Light Dragon Blade, preventing his escape.

Xie Xie was already in front of him. With no choice, Gu Tianri kicked out, trying to kick him away.

Xie Xie didn't draw his dagger but pulled his left hand on Gu Tianri's foot, and his whole body darted forward like a phantom. The Light Dragon Dagger tapped Gu Tianri's head, and at the same time, his right foot stomped on Gu Tianri's shoulder, and he flew up like a great bird spreading its wings, rushing toward the nearby Gu Tianyue.

"Gu Tianri is out," Long Hengxu announced clearly from below. In that instant, if Xie Xie had wanted to kill him, his throat would have been slit.

Gu Tianri was unwilling, but he soon saw a shocking scene. Three blue lights appeared almost perfectly on Xie Xie's path as he flew. He stepped on them three times, and his body leaped three times in the air, reaching near Gu Tianyue.

Only now did Gu Yue start to fall from the air, her body glowing green, clearly falling much slower than free fall.

From the start of the match to now, it had only taken a few breaths, yet the students from both classes were stunned.

The默契 (mòqì) (cooperation) between Gu Yue and Xie Xie was so skillful that it made them feel as if they were walking on flat ground in the air.

Facing them up close, how could the Gu brothers be a match for Xie Xie? On the other side, Gu Tianming, seeing he couldn't rescue in time, gritted his teeth, turned around, and flapped his wings, rushing straight toward Gu Yue, who was falling freely to the ground. He had to defeat one of them. Then he would fly high again, not giving them a chance.

After Gu Yue shot out three ice balls, she started to fall, but she wasn't at all panicked, not even looking at Gu Tianming.

A blue light flashed around her waist, and just as Gu Tianming approached her, her body had already flown sideways. A figure on the ground leaped up, catching her, and at the same time, Gu Tianming felt a tightness around his waist. In the next moment, his body was involuntarily pulled down.

Xie Xie had stepped on Gu Tianyue's shoulder to land from the sky, his Light Dragon Dagger pointing at Gu Tianyue's head. How could Gu Tianyue not land?

As for Gu Tianming, who was pulled down, he was directly thrown to the ground by Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass, dazed and disoriented, let alone attacking.

"Class 5 of Grade 1, wins!" Long Hengxu's voice clearly showed his shock when he said these words.

If yesterday's victory was due to the individual strength of the three students from Class 5, today's victory was due to their cooperation.

The Gu brothers, who should have been more默契 (mòqì) (cooperative), had not played to their strengths due to underestimating their opponents. Instead, Tang Wulin and the others had defeated them one by one with unexpected tactics. The match was thus concluded.

What shocked him even more was Gu Yue's ice element ability. Yesterday, she had used earth element, hadn't she?

Could it be that she had a dual soul beast? That would be a genius among geniuses, especially in the case of elemental abilities. Long Hengxu was deeply regretful! How had he been deceived by Wu Changkong, giving such a talented student to Class 5? This would complicate the promotion match. He didn't know if Class 1 could stop their advance.

Ye Yngrong was also stunned. She had trained the Gu brothers for several months and believed their cooperation in the air was quite默契 (mòqì) (cooperative). Except for their lack of offensive power, their speed, cooperation, and flight ability easily gave them the upper hand.

But she hadn't expected that, just when she thought they would surely win, the opponents would show such默契 (mòqì) (cooperation).

The accuracy and timing of Gu Yue's ice balls were perfect, and Xie Xie had demonstrated the ultimate ability of an agile attacker. Despite not being able to fly, he could continuously change his position in the air, perfectly utilizing the force from the ice balls. This ability, body control, and coordination were truly outstanding!

Taking a deep breath, she barely calmed her agitated heart and turned to Wu Changkong, smiling slightly, "Congratulations, Teacher Wu. You are now Class 3."

Wu Changkong said calmly, "This is not my goal. I yield." After saying this, he turned to the three who had just come down from the stage, glanced at them, but did not comment on their battle, and walked toward the dormitory building.

"Is Teacher Wu satisfied or dissatisfied with us?" Xie Xie asked Tang Wulin in confusion.

Tang Wulin shrugged, "How would I know? But I guess he wants us to reflect on it ourselves."

Gu Yue nodded, "We shouldn't have taken the initiative. We could have waited for an opportunity. If we had stayed on the ground and defended, they would have had to attack first, naturally reaching our attack range. Once they came down, they would have had no chance. If they insisted on running, we couldn't stop them, but in this match, they had no chance. We shouldn't be so impulsive next time."
