Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and stretched her slightly stiff wrists. Just as she was about to walk towards the competition stage, a voice suddenly came from beside her.
"Wang Dong'er, although you and I are both from the Tang Sect, and I also want to see you properly teach that Gu Yue a lesson, but since we are the East Sea F4 reunited, I support Gu Yue!"
Xie Xie called out to Wang Dong'er, then gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile.
After listening to Xie Xie's words, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but darken her face. If this guy Xie Xie didn't know how to speak, he could just stay silent. She quickly walked towards the competition stage.
Meanwhile, at the opposite entrance, a graceful figure also walked up. It was Gu Yue.
Wang Dong'er's gaze landed on the figure opposite her, carefully observing the young girl before her.
A pair of purple eyes were clear and bright, her face was exquisite, and the aura around her was restrained and steady. Just standing there, she exuded a cold and elegant temperament.
This was the last member of the East Sea F4 that Tang Wulin and the others had been mentioning...
Wang Dong'er's eyes flickered slightly. She hadn't seen Gu Yue fight yet, and in fact, she had only learned of Gu Yue's existence not long ago.
She didn't know what her Spirit was, didn't know what her combat style was, and didn't even know what type of attacks she excelled at.
Wang Dong'er pursed her lips slightly, a look of seriousness flashing through those powder-blue eyes.
No matter how strong Gu Yue's strength was, she would go all out.
After all, she had already lost quite miserably during the last freshman assessment. In this Five Extremes Grand Competition, she absolutely could not let that scene repeat itself.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the audience seats, the Gu Yuena's gaze was locked tightly on the two figures on the competition stage, a complex light in her purple eyes.
Gu Yue possessed the complete Origin of the Gu Yuena, and her current strength was even above that of her own, which was currently heavily injured.
Such an opponent was absolutely not someone Wang Dong'er could handle.
The Silver Dragon King was very clear about this point; she didn't even need to guess the process of the match. Of course, this was a judgment based on a comprehensive battle. If other battle rules were used, such as a Spirit Soul battle, mecha battle, or Weapon Battle, then the outcome might not necessarily be so certain.
Especially after just seeing that battle between Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
A Spirit Soul of a Support System Spirit Master was actually able to defeat the Spirit Soul of an Attack System Spirit Master; it was truly incredible.
Then, by the same logic, even if facing an opponent with the complete Origin of the Silver Dragon King, if the rules leaned towards technique, control, or strategy, perhaps Wang Dong'er was not entirely without the power to fight.
In the Divine Realm, several gazes also landed on Wang Dong'er.
The God of Destruction crossed his arms over his chest, his cold face carrying a hint of a cryptic smile. He turned his head to look at Tang San beside him and said in a low voice.
"Tang San, let's see how much Xiao Qi has grown after you went to such great lengths to send her down."
Although the God of Destruction was quite dissatisfied with Tang San, he didn't have any prejudice against Wang Dong'er.
After all, Wang Dong'er was a child he had watched grow up.
Xiao Wu sat beside Tang San, her eyes full of worry, her gaze fixed unblinkingly on the figure on the light screen.
Xiao Qi... is she doing well down there? Has she been wronged? Has she been bullied? Has she been eating well and sleeping soundly?
A series of thoughts surged in Xiao Wu's heart. As a mother, even though she knew her daughter had grown up and was no longer the little girl who needed to be protected in her arms at all times, she still couldn't help but worry.
Hope everything is well... Hope that Xiao Qi can be safe and smooth in the World down there.
At this moment, on the competition stage, Wang Dong'er had already walked to the designated position and stood still.
Her gaze landed on the figure opposite her, her powder-blue eyes narrowing slightly. She took a deep breath, cast all those distracting thoughts to the back of her mind, and then focused all her attention on the upcoming match.
Just at this moment, a line of text lit up again on the light screen above the audience seats.
[First match rules: Weapon Battle]
Weapon Battle? When Wang Dong'er saw this rule, she let out a slight sigh of relief in her heart.
Immediately after, Lin Feng simply waved his hand, and two long spears with slender bodies materialized in front of the two of them.
The two long spears were shimmering with light, their shafts had smooth and sharp lines, and the spear tips flashed with a cold, chilly light. The materials were completely identical; the only difference was the color and shape.
Wang Dong'er's long spear was a replica of the Golden Dragon Spear. After all, since Wang Dong'er already possessed a Divine Artifact like the Golden Dragon Spear, subsequent practice would naturally be based on this.
And the long spear in front of Gu Yue was a replica of the Silver Dragon Spear.
Wang Dong'er reached out, her five fingers gripping the shaft of the golden long spear, feeling the touch transmitted to her palm.
"Hmm, the weight is appropriate, and the feel is not bad."
She slightly flexed her wrists, and the golden long spear traced a sharp arc in her hand, bringing with it a sound of breaking through the air.
Meanwhile, Gu Yue opposite her also picked up that silver-white long spear, her movements of gripping the spear shaft being very natural and smooth.
The two stood facing each other, separated by only a few meters. "Begin." Lin Feng's voice came from one side of the competition stage.
Gu Yue was the first to move. The silver-white long spear shot out from her hand, the spear tip stabbing straight at Wang Dong'er's throat. The angle was tricky and sharp, carrying an unstoppable piercing momentum!
Wang Dong'er's pupils shrank slightly. Her reaction was also extremely fast; her body shifted to the side almost instinctively, and at the same time, the golden long spear in her hand fiercely flicked upwards, the shaft accurately striking the side of Gu Yue's spear, parrying that sharp thrust away.
"Clang—!!" The two long spears collided, emitting a crisp metallic clashing sound, sparks flying everywhere.
However, Gu Yue's figure did not pause because of this. Her wrist gave a slight flick, and the silver-white long spear, like a living thing, slid down along Wang Dong'er's spear shaft, the spear tip carrying a sharp, chilly light as it went straight for Wang Dong'er's waist and abdomen!
Wang Dong'er frowned slightly. She stepped back sharply, simultaneously holding the golden long spear vertically in front of her, blocking horizontally between her waist and abdomen, steadily stopping Gu Yue's strike.
The two long spears collided again, emitting a crisp sound. Such fast spear technique, Wang Dong'er exclaimed inwardly. She could feel that Gu Yue's spear technique far exceeded her expectations.
However, Wang Dong'er was not a pushover. After all, during her training, what she practiced most was getting beaten; if she couldn't learn to dodge, she would be beaten very badly by wooden sticks.
Wang Dong'er's figure constantly moved around the competition stage, sometimes turning sideways, sometimes leaning down, sometimes rolling. Her whole person was like an agile butterfly, weaving and dodging between Gu Yue's sharp spear flashes.
Gu Yue's offensive was indeed sharp. The silver-white long spear in her hand was like a silver storm, continuously enveloping Wang Dong'er. Every thrust carried a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the spear flashes intertwined into an airtight silver-white network.
Wang Dong'er was looking for a chance to counterattack while dodging. She knew that facing an opponent like Gu Yue who focused on offense, blindly defending and dodging would eventually not be a long-term solution; she had to find the right opportunity to counterattack.
Finally, in the instant of a side-step dodge, Wang Dong'er abruptly turned her body, and the golden long spear in her hand swept out, the spear shaft carrying a whistling force as it went straight for Gu Yue's legs!
Gu Yue's reaction was also astonishingly fast. The tips of her toes tapped lightly on the ground, and her whole person soared into the air, avoiding that sweep by a hair's breadth.
And in the moment she landed, the silver-white long spear in her hand had already stabbed out again, the spear tip accurately pointing towards Wang Dong'er's shoulder!
Wang Dong'er twisted her body sharply to dodge, the spear tip brushing past her clothes.
After several consecutive clashes, their spear techniques intertwined and collided on the competition stage. Golden and silver spear flashes alternated, and the clanging collision sounds were continuous.
In the Divine Realm, Tang San watched their exchange, a flicker of arrogance in his eyes. Sure enough, when it came to weapons, he was the expert. If he were to participate, he could achieve victory very quickly.
Gu Yue's spear technique was clearly superior, and every one of her thrusts forced Wang Dong'er to retreat step by step.
Fine beads of sweat had already seeped out on Wang Dong'er's forehead, and her breathing had become a bit rapid. Continuous high-intensity dodging and blocking caused her stamina to be consumed quite quickly, while Gu Yue's offensive remained continuous, as if she wouldn't feel tired at all; her stamina seemed to be stronger than her own.
Finally, in the moment of a block, Wang Dong'er's feet stumbled slightly, and a fleeting flaw appeared in her posture. Gu Yue naturally wouldn't let go of this excellent opportunity.
Her wrist flicked sharply, and the silver-white long spear turned into a streak of silver lightning, accurately passing through the gap in Wang Dong'er's defense, the spear tip tapping lightly on Wang Dong'er's chest.
The force was not heavy, only leaving a shallow mark on Wang Dong'er's clothes, but this was enough.
Wang Dong'er's movements stopped. She lowered her head to look at the faint spear tip mark on her chest, and then couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. She slowly retracted the golden long spear in her hand, nodded slightly towards Gu Yue opposite her, and said, "I lost."
Wang Dong'er couldn't help but feel emotional; if only she had practiced her spear technique for a longer time. Gu Yue also retracted the silver-white long spear and nodded gently towards Wang Dong'er in acknowledgement.
