Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 84: Battle Dance Across the Sky!

"Don't let me find out who he is, or he'll be in big trouble!" Xu Xiaoyu said, her face ashen.

However, another figure suddenly appeared in his mind. That indifferent gaze, calm face, irritable words, and the power to kill him with a single punch made him feel a chill down his spine. Who exactly was he?

Even now, Xu Xiaoyu's heart is still filled with doubts and confusion.

……

"What's wrong with you so early in the morning? Old man Hong, what do you want to say?!" Cai Yue'er crossed her arms, her brows furrowed. Zhu Shi was acting crazy first thing in the morning, still muttering, "Contacted...contacted!"

"I contacted Changkong, and he called me back!" Zhuoshi laughed heartily.

Chang Kong? Could it be Wu Chang Kong? Cai Yue'er's mind was in turmoil. How could she not know about that matter? The child who fell in love with the evil spirit master and ultimately failed...

Yun Ming also appeared quietly. "I have a strong impression of that child. Where is he now?"

"It's Gu You, your good godson, who persuaded Chang Kong!" Zhuo Shi immediately stretched Gu You's image dozens of times in his mind. He heard Wu Chang Kong say that the child was very interesting.

Gu You… Cai Yue’er fell silent. Why does he keep mentioning this name all the time? She’s never even met the Pavilion Master’s godson.

"It's good that we're still in contact. They should be in the East China Sea now. Gu You is there too. We must make it up to that child properly in the future." Yun Ming smiled faintly. Being able to interact with these older people and see their rare smiles made him feel as if he had become decades younger.

……

At noon the next day, Gu You was woken up by Wu Changkong, leaving Gu You at a loss. Wasn't he supposed to be taking his students to the final exams? Why was he being called here? Moreover, he hadn't even had a proper chance to cultivate yet, and was sleeping in, which completely lowered his image in front of his teacher.

"Teacher Wu, uh... is there something you need?" Gu You asked curiously.

"Fight me. I will fight you with my peak fifth-ring cultivation. If you win, you will pass the final exam," Wu Changkong said coldly. After learning about Gu You's situation from Zhu Shi, he finally understood just how monstrous this kid was.

"Ah? Okay." Gu You didn't say much. Wu Changkong had a lot of practical experience. Being able to fight him with only three rings without using divine power was indeed a good experience.

"Keep up."

Gu You followed Wu Changkong directly to the academy's trial hall.

This place is specifically for students to practice their soul skills in actual combat. Since soul skills can be destructive, there is a soul tool shield here to defend against them, so it is not easy for them to cause damage.

"Gu You!" Xie Xie ran to Gu You. This battle between teacher and student, which would be recorded in history, was something the five of them had to see. Wu Changkong had also told them to watch his battle with Gu You closely. Who would prevail in the gap between genius and cultivation?

Wu Changkong found the teacher in charge of the hall and requested a space in the trial hall.

These standard training grounds range in diameter from thirty to fifty meters. The training hall has three floors, each with four training grounds of different sizes, which are used by students of different grades.

Wu Changkong wanted the three-story venue because it was quiet and no other classes were using it.

With a diameter of fifty meters, the venue was very spacious. Wu Changkong led six people into it.

Xie Xie, already eager to try, said, "Teacher, let's begin!"

Wu Changkong Guyou did not speak, but stood twenty meters away from him.

"Begin!" As soon as Wu Changkong finished speaking, rings of spirit rings rose rapidly from beneath his feet.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black aura burst forth with soul power, but it was of no use to Gu You.

The soul-guided shield has been activated, and Xie Xie and the others have withdrawn from the battlefield to observe the battle from the sidelines.

This is Gu You's unique final exam. After this, their second exam will soon arrive. Before morning, they had a group battle with Teacher Wu. Wu Changkong is very powerful. All five of them couldn't beat him when he suppressed his cultivation. They don't know if Gu You can do it.

An ice-blue longsword extended from his right hand, and Wu Changkong's usually cold gaze focused on the Heavenly Frost Sword in his hand, revealing a rare hint of tenderness.

White robes and blue sword, the sky is icy and snowy!

As Gu You's three spirit rings rose, the aura of a ferocious beast appeared. Even those who had seen Gu You's 100,000-year spirit rings were still far behind Tang Wulin and the others. This aura could still be sensed even through the protective shield. Fortunately, the staff present were all sent away by Wu Changkong, otherwise it would have been another sensational news story on campus.

A surge of dragon power emanated from Gu You's body, and the Heavenly Frost Sword emitted a layer of white light. A blue sword shadow slashed towards Gu You, and then Wu Changkong's steps began to become strange, giving a dizzying feeling.

It's that move again. Gu You became serious. Just like when he faced Xie Xie last time, he could only defend against one. No matter what, he had to take the hit.

However... in this situation, taking the initiative is the best way to break the attack!

The first and second spirit rings lit up simultaneously. The Purple-Gold Annihilation Strike and the purple light rippled in his eyes. With both spiritual and physical attacks, Wu Changkong had to take a hit to see if his physical body was stronger than Wu Changkong's.

Wu Changkong was well aware of this. He hadn't expected Gu You to make such a move. Let's just hurt each other and see who can withstand whom.

He stepped back and stopped, his third spirit ring lit up, ice and snow gathered around him, and he drew his sword from its sheath, slashing upwards with Heavenly Frost Slash!

The ice and snow light enveloped the arena, even mental attacks were disintegrated. Gu You was shocked. What kind of control over ice and snow was this? His 100,000-year soul ring lit up. Gu You couldn't imagine if it were Yue Zi back then, or Wu Changkong of the same level, he could have really lasted until Yun Ming arrived.

However, Gu You still had something to hide: he was a man who could use extreme ice. Even though Teacher Wu's soul skill contained the power of ice and snow, innate restraint was still restraint, and there was nothing to say about it.

The Dragon God is enraged!

Gu You coldly snorted, and the ultimate ice and destructive energy began to be added. A dragon shadow appeared behind him, and a sphere of light condensed, with a loud bang, slammed into Wu Changkong.

The Heavenly Frost Slash had no effect whatsoever; it was completely absorbed into the Dispelling Barrier! On the stage, Wu Changkong's eyes narrowed slightly—ultimate attribute!

Below the stage, Tang Wulin was dumbfounded. Was this Gu You's strength? A five-ring Soul King was like fighting a relatively difficult Soul Beast.

Wu Changkong knew he had lost, but his fifth spirit ring still lit up—a ten-thousand-year spirit skill! There might still be a sliver of hope. The ultimate ice attribute seemed completely incompatible with Gu You's martial soul, but that was reality. Ordinary ice and snow were like ants looking down on an elephant in front of ultimate ice—utterly meaningless. No matter how hard you try in the future, you will never be able to surpass it.
