Na'er has never been someone who just charges recklessly.
That was because the enemies she faced before were too weak; she could win just by charging through.
Facing Gu Yue, she brought out her absolute seriousness.
Today, I must beat up this woman who constantly clings to Arthur!
That was the absolute speed achieved after transcending spatial limits.
The golden Soul Power concentrated in her limbs suddenly erupted, causing a circle of fine cracks to appear on the arena floor beneath her feet. Her figure was like a golden bolt of lightning, instantly traversing the tens of meters between them and striking directly at Gu Yue's face.
The force of the punch carried a heavy feeling that transcended spatial restraint, squeezing even the air into a muffled sonic boom.
This punch contained no fancy Spirit Ability, only the purest strength and speed, aiming to use brute force to break skill and defeat Gu Yue head-on!
Gu Yue showed no panic; the water and fire elements in her palm rapidly merged, forming a Tai Chi-shaped elemental barrier that barely managed to block in front of her.
"Bang!"
The moment the fist and the barrier collided, the arena seemed to tremble.
The golden Soul Power and the water/fire elements clashed violently, creating an air current that whipped both their hair backward.
Gu Yue's feet were actually forced back half a step by the shock.
Na'er, using the force of the recoil, spun her body in the air and delivered a sweeping kick, aimed directly at Gu Yue's waist!
The students on the sidelines instantly erupted, their cries of surprise nearly blowing the roof off:
"Holy crap! They look like they're serious!"
Their previous comments were all jokes; no one expected these two to actually fight for real.
After all, judging by their usual interactions, anyone could see their special relationship.
But now, in the arena, with sharp punches and surging elements, where was the slightest bit of their usual rapport?
"Sister Gu Yue is serious now! The Soul Power concentration of that elemental barrier is stronger than ever before!"
"Sister Na'er isn't holding back either! That spinning kick just now, tsk tsk, if that hit me, I'd be split in two!"
"Wait a minute, don't you guys think Senior Na'er's gaze is a bit fierce? It looks like she's not just competing; it's like she genuinely wants to kill Gu Yue?!"
Why is that?
It's so hard to guess.
Everyone simultaneously looked toward Arthur.
They saw Arthur recording the match. He noticed the surrounding gazes and paused: "Why are you looking at me? Watch the match!"
On the high platform, Dai Tianling's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Staring at the spatial-transcending heaviness surrounding Na'er, his face was so grim it looked like water could drip from it: "This girl's power is wrong."
En Ci didn't reply, simply staring intently at the center of the arena, his cloudy eyes reflecting shock like raging waves.
Although the fighting between the two was not overly flashy, he could see the true essence of it.
Power, control, combat rhythm.
That was absolutely not something a Spirit King should possess!
"Arthur, Qian Wu, and now these two Geniuses popping up..." En Ci couldn't understand: "Is the Douluo Continent truly so uniquely favored?"
In the center of the arena, Na'er's spinning kick had reached Gu Yue's waist. Golden Soul Power was wrapped around it, accompanied by the sound of rushing wind, unstoppable.
Gu Yue didn't retreat but advanced. Her left hand suddenly lifted, and ice elements instantly condensed into an Ice Mirror as thin as a cicada's wing, which shattered while simultaneously blocking the kick.
Her right hand swung out, and scorching flames turned into a thin Line of Fire, silently wrapping around Na'er's wrist.
She had accurately calculated the trajectory of Na'er changing moves by leveraging the force.
Na'er's movement paused as expected. The moment the Line of Fire wrapped around her wrist, the golden Soul Power around her body suddenly burst forth, instantly shattering the flames.
Her other hand curled into a claw, grabbing toward Gu Yue's element-condensing right arm. This grab was fast and precise, aimed directly at Gu Yue's Spirit Power Circulation Node.
She understood the Silver Dragon King too well, but Gu Yue did not understand the Gold Dragon King.
Gu Yue's eyes narrowed. Her left arm quickly retreated, and the Ice Mirror exploded, turning into Ice Prisms that forced Na'er to dodge sideways.
Taking advantage of this gap, the flames in her right hand suddenly surged, transforming into a long Flame Blade, which slashed back toward Na'er's waist. The blade wind was fierce, carrying the might to burn everything to ashes.
"Very well, the warm-up ends here." Na'er shook her body, and a gigantic Golden Dragon rose from the ground.
That was the materialized phantom of the Gold Dragon King Power. Its scales were cast like molten gold, and its eyes burned with fierce light.
As soon as it appeared, a wild and tyrannical pressure swept across the entire arena. Even the air in the stadium seemed ignited, making sizzling, burning sounds.
Na'er's figure overlapped with the gigantic Dragon phantom. Her Soul Power surged several times over, and the strength originally contained in her limbs was fully unleashed. The cracks beneath her feet instantly spread several meters, and gravel rolled away with a rustling sound.
She stared at Gu Yue, her voice trembling with a Dragon's Roar: "Gu Yue, today I absolutely must give you a good beating!"
Gu Yue's expression finally turned completely grim.
She could clearly feel the familiarity and oppression of that power.
Na'er had the Golden Dragon Martial Soul to cover her use of the Gold Dragon King's power.
But her, Gu Yue's, officially reported Martial Soul was Elementalist. How could she explain using the Silver Dragon King?
"Should I admit defeat?"
While Gu Yue was weighing the pros and cons, she glanced at Arthur in the Waiting Area, who was recording the match.
Gu Yue: "?"
This sight suddenly made her feel deep down that she couldn't lose.
"I don't care anymore!"
The elemental fluctuations around her body suddenly ceased, replaced by a cold, ethereal blue light.
Countless elements converged, and the phantom of the Silver Dragon King slowly emerged behind her. Its Dragon wings spread out, covering half the arena, standing in direct opposition to Na'er's gigantic Golden Dragon.
Two vastly different yet mutually derived pressures violently collided. An invisible wave of Qi spread out from the center of the arena, causing the Protective Wall to hum and vibrate, forcing even the Soul Masters on the high platform to release their Soul Power to defend themselves.
Dai Tianling's expression changed completely. He abruptly stood up and cried out in shock: "What, exactly, are the Martial Souls of these two girls?!"
En Ci gripped the railing tightly, his knuckles white, his cloudy eyes filled with utter terror.
The Douluo Delegation hadn't expected this either.
What was that thing Gu Yue used?
The students on the sidelines had long since fallen silent, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with disbelief.
"What's going on with Sister Gu Yue's Dragon...?"
"I don't know!"
Arthur's hand, holding the Soul Guidance Camera, trembled. He was also dumbfounded.
What's happening? It looks like these two have truly gotten heated.
Na'er's Gold Dragon King phantom suddenly raised its head and let out an earth-shattering roar. Its Dragon Claw, wrapped in a torrent of golden Soul Power, slammed fiercely toward the Silver Dragon King phantom. Where it passed, the air was ripped open, leaving dark fissures.
Gu Yue's Silver Dragon King phantom flapped its wings, and countless elements condensed into sharp Light Blades, pouring down like a torrential rain. Every Light Blade carried the might to tear space apart.
"Boom—!"
The instant the Golden Claw and the Light Blades collided, a blinding flash of light erupted in the center of the arena. A violent energy shockwave swept in all directions, and the Protective Wall was instantly covered in dense cracks, letting out a groan of distress.
The Soul Masters of the Star Luo Empire hurriedly repaired the Protective Barrier, terrified in their hearts.
These were just two Spirit Kings, and they hadn't even donned their Battle Armor.
Huh?
That's right! They still have Battle Armor!
