Battle Through the Heavens: Attribute Draw, Top-Tier Comprehension at the Start

"Senior, you have ice-attribute battle qi, why are you cultivating in a place like this? There's no ice here."

Han Yue stood up, the hem of her silver dress swaying gently.

She glanced at the pool below the waterfall and explained calmly:

"Ice is simply the condensation of water."

"Although there is no ice here, the water is icy cold because of its shady location and lack of sunlight all year round."

"With my current cultivation level, this kind of environment is actually more suitable than those icy and snowy places."

Qin Yu nodded thoughtfully, and followed her words, turning his head to look at the pool.

Sure enough, a thin layer of white frost had formed on the rock where Han Yue had just been sitting, glistening in the sunlight.

The water around the rocks had frozen into a thin layer of ice, like an irregular mirror reflecting the blue sky above.

The icy pool water exuded a strong chilling aura, which indeed complemented the ice-attribute battle qi.

However, Qin Yu's gaze was soon drawn to something else.

Han Yue's silver dress hem reached just above her knees, revealing her long, slender, snow-white legs.

Her legs were completely different from Xiao Yu's.

If Xiao Yu's legs were rounded and long, making one want to touch them, then Han Yue's legs were slender and snow-white, the kind meant to be quietly admired.

Especially her small feet, stepping on the rocks, her toes slightly curled, covered with a little frost, gleaming white in the sunlight, making it impossible to look away.

Han Yue noticed Qin Yu's gaze, and a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in her cool eyes.

She subconsciously took half a step back, her skirt swaying slightly, and her voice was even colder than before.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Senior Han Yue seems to like practicing barefoot, just like me."

Qin Yu snapped out of his daze, his mind racing.

Being caught red-handed, it would be quite an awkward situation if a reasonable explanation wasn't provided.

"real?"

A hint of suspicion appeared on the face of the beautiful woman with long silver hair. Her clear, cold eyes narrowed slightly as she scrutinized the new student in front of her.

Fortunately, Qin Yu's mind worked quickly enough, and he actually gleaned something from what Han Yue had just said.

"Of course it's true. And what Senior Han Yue just said, that ice is just the condensation of water, made me suddenly realize something."

Han Yue clearly did not believe Qin Yu's statement.

In her opinion, this statement didn't have any profound meaning, and Qin Yu's claim of gaining some insight from it was clearly nonsense, so she continued to press for answers:

"What did you realize?"

She originally thought that Qin Yu would stammer and be unable to answer, or make up a clumsy excuse to brush it off.

After all, she had seen this kind of scene far too many times.

Whenever a boy stares at her, she always looks flustered when she's caught, either blushing and lowering her head or stammering to change the subject.

But Qin Yu's reaction was completely unexpected.

He raised his right hand, and brown battle aura appeared in his palm, condensing into a thin layer that enveloped his fist like a glove.

"Among the Five Elements, Earth generates Metal."

Qin Yu's voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

"I've been thinking about what kind of biochemical relationship exists between earth and metal."

The suspicion on Han Yue's face faded a bit, replaced by a hint of seriousness.

"The moment I heard what Senior Han Yue said, I thought of it."

Qin Yu clenched his fist, and the brown battle aura in his palm began to change.

The originally evenly distributed battle aura converged, compressed, and solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a hard covering layer.

Closely following the outline of the fist, its color gradually changed from light brown to grayish-white.

Han Yue's pupils contracted sharply. She tried closing her eyes and judging solely by the fluctuations of her battle aura, and the result shocked her greatly.

"This is... no, it's not real metal-attribute battle qi."

The battle aura covering Qin Yu's palm, although not true metal-type battle aura, already possessed the characteristics of metal-type battle aura: solidity and sharpness.

"Ice is merely the condensation of water... and isn't gold simply the essence gathered and accumulated from the earth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu's fist clenched suddenly.

Unexpectedly, the brown fighting spirit covering Qin Yu's fist, after a long period of gathering, suddenly dissipated at the last moment, its almost palpable grayish-white color surging forth.

"Well..."

Qin Yu looked at his empty palm and scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Wait a minute...

Could it be that I misunderstood something?

"Okay, I believe you."

Han Yue took half a step forward and nodded slightly to Qin Yu, realizing that she had indeed misunderstood him.

It's unlikely that such a miraculous method was used as a last-minute solution, and Qin Yu's actions did indeed align with what I had just said.

Unexpectedly, there was such a prodigy in the academy.

She was able to apply what she had casually mentioned about cultivation to her own practice.

However, Qin Yu was lost in his own thoughts and didn't hear Han Yue's words at all.

Isn't gold formed from earth condensed to its extreme?

Tsk...

It seems I don't know enough. I need to go back and review the books again, or have a few more matches with Luo Zheng.

"Qin Yu?"

Han Yue stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Qin Yu, which brought him back to his senses.

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing. I was just wondering why I failed just now."

Han Yue fell silent.

She stared at Qin Yu's hand for a long time, then looked up at his slightly bewildered face.

Her long silver hair fluttered slightly in the mountain breeze, and the hem of her dress swayed gently.

"So, you were staring at me just now... because you were thinking of this?"

Her voice was softer than before, but Qin Yu's expression remained unchanged as he nodded calmly.

"Senior Han Yue's words came so suddenly, so many thoughts rushed into my mind at once."

Han Yue could tell that Qin Yu's mind was not on her at the moment, so she looked away and sat back down on the rock.

But involuntarily, information about Qin Yu surfaced in her mind.

He entered the school as a one-star Dou Zhe, and within half a year he had reached nine stars and even defeated a two-star Dou Shi.

He created his own movement techniques and fighting style, and now he can even simulate battle aura that is similar to metal...

Just what kind of monster is this Qin Yu?

"Senior Han Yue."

Han Yue raised her head and met his calm eyes.

"I think I'll be coming to this pond again in a few days. Hope I won't disturb you?"

"My name isn't written here, so how can you say I'm disturbing you?"

Qin Yu nodded, then turned and left.

Han Yue watched Qin Yu's retreating figure, wanting to ask him why he, whose fighting spirit was earth-attribute, would choose to come here.

But remembering Qin Yu's miraculous methods just now, she stopped herself.

She was really curious to see what Qin Yu's purpose was in coming here in a few days.

Moreover, Han Yue noticed something else.

Qin Yu, like her, cultivated barefoot.
