Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Before we knew it, it was the next day, early morning.

As Wu Changkong said, today's training is no longer combat training, but physical training.

The first item in physical training is running, specifically, running ten full laps around the 800-meter track of the Donghai Academy's intermediate section!

As key talents cultivated and focused on by Wu Changkong, Zhao Tao, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin each received a heavy iron jacket weighing twenty pounds.

This made the students who originally wanted to complain dare not say anything more, and even feel lucky.

Although Zhao Tao didn't like Wu Changkong's outdated training methods, he didn't publicly refute Wu Changkong.

After all, his current strength is far from being able to stand up to Wu Changkong.

Sometimes, moderation in patience is an art.

soon.

Half an hour passed.

Just as the students of Class 5 were running away in complete disarray...

On the path connecting the intermediate playground and the school gate, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared, walking slowly with graceful steps.

She looked to be about the same age as Zhao Tao and the other students in Class 5.

Despite her young age, she already possesses stunning beauty, truly captivating.

Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, with fair and delicate skin, like the most perfect work of art.

She had a pair of large, bright purple eyes, and long, smooth black hair that flowed down her back.

Each step seemed to possess a unique rhythm, radiating a special aura that drew people's attention.

only.

Strangely, the beautiful girl was not wearing the Donghai Academy uniform, but rather a pure white top and white trousers.

The moment this girl appeared, she instantly attracted the attention of almost all the students in Class 5, including Wu Changkong.

Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, Zhao Tao knew—

Gu Yue, the mysterious girl who, like Na'er, was an incarnation of the Silver Dragon King, finally came to his side.

"Gu Yue, in this life, I will definitely protect you too, so that you and Na'er can both become the wings of my angels!"

Gazing at Gu Yue's figure in the distance, Zhao Tao secretly made up his mind.

Having been reborn, wasn't his purpose to protect those around him, especially Gu Yue and Na'er, and to keep them from being persecuted by Tang San?

Which class are you in?

Just as everyone was curiously looking at Gu Yue, Wu Changkong stepped up to Gu Yue and asked her a question.

"I came to Tunghai College to study, but the teacher in the academic affairs office said that I had missed the registration deadline."

Upon hearing Wu Changkong's question, Gu Yue raised her head and slowly spoke, her voice ethereal and melodious, quite pleasant to hear.

"Oh, so you're not a student at Donghai Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong nodded and continued.

"Not yet, but I'd like to join Donghai Academy. Could you give me a chance?"

Gu Yue looked at Wu Changkong and nodded earnestly, her eyes full of sincerity.

If it were an ordinary teacher, they would most likely ask her to leave immediately upon encountering such a mysterious young woman.

However, Wu Changkong is not an ordinary teacher!

"sure!"

"However... not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can join our Donghai Academy!"

"To enroll, you must pass my assessment!"

Upon hearing Gu Yue's words, a hint of interest flashed in Wu Changkong's eyes, and he nodded in response.

"Okay, what kind of assessment do I need to undergo? Will I have to run with weights alongside them?"

Looking at Wu Changkong before her, Gu Yue smiled faintly and asked in return.

"Of course not! Zhao Tao, come here!"

Upon hearing Gu Yue's words, Wu Changkong shook his head slightly, turned around, and called out to Zhao Tao.

"Teacher Wu, what's wrong?"

Wearing a 20-pound iron suit, Zhao Tao jogged up to Wu Changkong and asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"Zhao Tao, you have twenty minutes to rest, then prepare for the Soul Battle!"

Looking at Zhao Tao, who was neither out of breath nor with a racing heart, Wu Changkong nodded in satisfaction.

He then turned to Gu Yue and said, "Twenty minutes from now, you and Zhao Tao will have a soul battle. If your performance satisfies me, you will have passed the test."

"Okay, Ms. Wu!"

Upon hearing Wu Changkong's words, Zhao Tao nodded, then sat down cross-legged and silently activated the "Time Meditation Method" to restore his physical and spiritual strength.

"Understood."

As for Gu Yue, she stood next to Zhao Tao, looking at him with great interest.

Although he was cultivating, Zhao Tao could still feel Gu Yue's curious gaze.

However, he remained remarkably calm.

After all, although he knew Gu Yue's true identity, he certainly couldn't reveal it.

The only way to get to know Gu Yue is through slow, everyday life.

Use your love to continuously influence and resolve the hatred in her heart.

......

soon.

Twenty minutes passed.

Zhao Tao slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

"Thirty meters away, prepare for battle!"

Looking at Gu Yue and Zhao Tao, Wu Changkong calmly gave the order.

Upon hearing Wu Changkong's words, Zhao Tao and Gu Yue each stepped back and stared intently at each other, their eyes meeting.

As for the students running laps around them, they all slowed down and stared intently at Zhao Tao and Gu Yue in the center of the playground, wanting to see just how strong this mysterious girl really was.

"Gu Yue, Level 15, Martial Soul: Elementalist."

Looking at Zhao Tao in the distance, Gu Yue's gaze was sharp, and she spoke calmly.

As Gu Yue finished speaking, a yellow, century-old soul ring appeared beneath his feet.

"Zhao Tao, Level 17, Martial Soul: Spring and Autumn Cicada."

With a calm and confident smile on his face, Zhao Tao's mind stirred, and the Spring and Autumn Cicada Martial Soul manifested first in his right hand.

At the same time, the purple soul ring symbolizing a thousand years behind him suddenly appeared, radiating a mysterious and magnificent color.

Looking at the spirit ring on Zhao Tao's back, Gu Yue's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Clearly, Zhao Tao's demonstrated abilities also surprised her somewhat.

As for Zhao Tao, his eyes were also blazing with fighting spirit as he warily watched Gu Yue in the distance!

Normally, Zhao Tao has never encountered a peer who can give him a good fight.

Even Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, outstanding individuals among their peers, were no match for him.

However, as an avatar of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue's strength is far beyond what Tang Wulin and Xie Xie can match!

Today, I can fight to my heart's content!

"Battle begins!"

Just then, Wu Changkong shouted, announcing the start of the battle!

"Time Buries the Sword!"

As Wu Changkong's voice faded, Zhao Tao made a decisive move, frantically activating his soul power, and the purple soul ring behind him flashed!

The next moment, Zhao Tao's palm flashed with silver light, transforming into a silver longsword. At the same time, Zhao Tao's figure flashed, and he wielded the Time Burial Sword, launching a fierce attack on Gu Yue!
