Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 69 Gu Yue: I won't fight this battle.

Do you know what level his mental strength is?

Seeing Tang Wulin's confusion, Gu Yue asked in return.

"What's wrong? Is his mental strength very strong?" Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Xu Xiaoyan asked in a timid voice.

We were just venting, so why did Sister Gu Yue react so strongly?

"His spiritual power is at the Spirit Sea Realm," Gu Yue said calmly, glancing at the three of them.

"Spirit Sea Realm?" Tang Wulin exclaimed in surprise.

How is that possible!

Ten years old.

Although Class Zero places special emphasis on practical combat, and Wu Changkong's teachings demonstrate that true strength lies not in the strength of one's basic soul power, but in the application of one's own power and the use of practical combat skills and strategies, Class Zero has never neglected the testing and requirements for basic numerical values.

Simply put, you need to hone your ability to unleash your true potential, but you absolutely cannot neglect your fundamental skills.

Among Class Zero, all four are considered geniuses, all of them minor geniuses in the mental realm. Few of the younger generation in the Tianhai Alliance can compare to them.

Gu Yue, in particular, achieved results that even refreshed the other three students in Class Zero's concept of mental talent.

However, Gu Yue only has a little over two hundred spiritual power right now.

He's still halfway to the 500-level Spirit Sea Realm, and there's still a bottleneck period ahead.

"You think he only has three purple spirit rings, while you at least have purple spirit rings, so your spirit skill effects are about the same?" Gu Yue scoffed. "Not at all!"

"I can sense that the spirit rings are bestowed by the spirit itself, and they will have the spirit's aura. I have a secret technique cultivated in the Spirit Pagoda that allows me to roughly sense that his spirit is at least three thousand years old!"

Tang Wulin was shocked.

Three thousand years?

Oh my god.

"Old Tang, Old Tang, if my Qi and blood are doubled, can I really beat him?" Tang Wulin was losing confidence.

The physical qualities required to withstand three thousand-year spirit rings are vastly different from those required to withstand three three-thousand-year spirit rings.

Old Tang remained silent for a long time.

"Just do your best in one battle."

Gu Yue had no idea that Tang Wulin couldn't be discouraged, and she expressed her feelings.

"Moreover, I can sense that he has a high affinity with the elements of heaven and earth, and I can also vaguely feel his interaction with heaven and earth, which means that he has also mastered the power of momentum."

"His mental strength is enough to overwhelm me, his affinity with the elements may even be no weaker than mine, and he may also have the support of the great forces of heaven and earth. If I face him, all my methods may become ineffective."

"Therefore, I will not be playing in this match."

After Gu Yue finished speaking in a cold voice, he turned and left.

She said all this, revealing what she had observed about Xu Yuan's abilities, just to show that she couldn't win this battle.

She possesses the pride of the Silver Dragon King, but she is not foolish.

To appear somewhat normal, she overdid the sealing, resulting in such a significant gap in their foundations at the age of ten. She knew the wisest choice was not to fight.

If we're really going to fight, we'll have to wait until she gradually reintegrates her power and unleashes her talents.

It's not that I can't accept a temporary loss.

What she couldn't accept was the possibility of being suppressed in her control over the elements.

As the Silver Dragon King, it would be a great disgrace to be stripped of his control over the elements.

"So, the limits of humanity are this high; my talent can be displayed in an even more 'exaggerated' way."

Unlike the original story, she hasn't actually started to break her seal yet. The Silver Dragon King's bloodline, her past spiritual power, and even her elemental heart realm are all sealed.

Gu Yue turned and left.

She gave him a reminder before he left.

"He must have joined another team at the last minute. You can check the order of the matches and see if you can discuss with him choosing to face off tonight. Perhaps the absolute validity of Xu Xiaoyan's Star Staff is your only chance."

Tang Wulin watched Gu Yue leave helplessly.

Gu Yue has explained it very clearly.

If she goes, she'll just be a burden.

"Perhaps this would be a disgrace to the proud Gu Yue," he could only think to himself.

After Gu Yue left, Tang Wulin and the other two looked at each other in silence for a long time.

In the end, it was Tang Wulin who broke the deadlock.

"Not to mention being restrained, Gu Yue seems to be suppressed by Xu Yuan. If she goes on stage, she probably won't be able to exert even half of her full strength, so let's have the three of us go on stage instead." He coughed to ease the awkwardness.

It didn't say that Gu Yue was afraid or anything like that; it just said that he was suppressed.

In fact, Tang Wulin didn't think Gu Yue did anything wrong; on the contrary, he thought Gu Yue's withdrawal was a good choice.

Otherwise, if they are forced to participate, they will be in a very passive position.

"I think Gu Yue's last suggestion makes a lot of sense. Xiao Yan's martial soul will evolve into the Star Staff tonight, and that's when she'll be at her peak. Moreover, the absolute certainty of her Starlight is our only chance to defeat Xu Yuan," Xie Xie said.

"Yes, Captain, do you have Xu Yuan's contact information?" Xu Xiaoyan asked tentatively.

She didn't want to go on stage and get humiliated.

So, Captain, how about you sacrifice a little pride?

Xu Xiaoyan stared at Tang Wulin with her big, watery eyes.

Tang Wulin's eye twitched.

"I'll ask."

He took out his soul communication device, found Xu Lizhi's number, and sent a text message.

Tang Wulin: Are you there?

Xu Lizhi replied to the message very quickly.

Xu Lizhi: Yes, what's up?

Xie Xie secretly glanced at them and was amazed by their way of chatting.

Tang Wulin: Could you ask Brother Xu Yuan if he's interested in joining any team for the competition?

Xu Lizhi: Does it matter? Don't worry, no matter which team Brother Xu Yuan joins, he'll guarantee to take action on his own.

Tang Wulin was speechless.

Is this what you call "don't worry"?

Tang Wulin: Can you ask me if it's possible to choose the team for tonight's match?

Xu Lizhi: Yes.

Tang Wulin: ??? You haven't asked yet!

Replying instantly?

We can't just stand by and watch, can we?

Xu Lizhi: Anyway, he'll win in the end. If fulfilling more of your requests can make him enjoy the fight more, he'll definitely be happy to do so.

"So arrogant?" Xie Xie didn't expect the harmless little fat boy to be so arrogant in his chat.

It's not that Xu Lizhi is arrogant, but rather that he only speaks so confidently when Xu Yuan is mentioned.

"It can only be said that Xu Yuan's strength in his mind is extraordinary, and this impression is deeply ingrained." Tang Wulin felt even more pressure.

Tang Wulin: Then I'll leave it to you.

Xu Lizhi: OK (gesture)

"Let's discuss some tactics. Although we need to adapt to changing circumstances on the battlefield, we still need to reach a consensus beforehand," Tang Wulin said seriously.

"First of all, Xiaoyan, your first soul skill is very important. Controlling it may be our only chance, or even our only chance."

With precautions in place, even if the possibility of failure is absolutely certain, there is always hope of dealing with it.

If you really want to turn the tide with this move, you must seize the first opportunity!
