Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Wu Changkong said calmly, "I'm not in charge of student recruitment."

"Ah... really?" Gu Yue paused for a moment, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

Immediately afterward, Gu Yue asked, "Teacher, I hope I can study here, is that alright?"

Wu Changkong nodded, "Okay, but you have to rely on your own abilities."

"I can take the exam," Gu Yue smiled.

Wu Changkong said no more, turned around and waved to Xie Xie on the track, "Xie Xie, give your iron armor to Tang Wulin, come here."

After resting for a while, Xie Xie's strength had recovered somewhat.

Hearing Wu Changkong's greeting, Xie Xie, despite his legs trembling like someone with Parkinson's, still forced himself to walk over, "Teacher Wu, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Changkong said directly:

"Your physical fitness is too poor. I'll give you a chance to beat her, and you won't have to run this morning."

Xie Xie's eyes lit up.

However, the moment Xie Xie's gaze fell upon Gu Yue, the smile on his face froze instantly. In that instant, his back pain and leg weakness vanished, and he turned and ran back.

"Teacher Wu, I'm sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off!"

"Sorry, the number you dialed is..."

This is the biggest monster in the book, a female Tyrannosaurus Rex! Even Tang Wulin would have to obediently take a slap in front of her!!

He went to fight Guyue?

What kind of international joke is this? Are you out of your mind?

Wu Changkong: "..."

"puff--"

Gu Yue couldn't help but chuckle.

Before Xie Xie could finish speaking English, he was struck hard on the head and then dragged back by the back of his collar by Wu Changkong.

Wu Changkong said with a dark face, "I'll give you twenty minutes to rest. We'll start in twenty minutes."

Seeing that he couldn't escape the clutches of evil, Xie Xie could only obediently sit cross-legged and meditate.

I hope Gu Yue won't go too far later, sob sob...

Although Xie Xie was quite interesting, Gu Yue glanced at him casually before her gaze returned to Tang Wulin.

Wu Changkong glanced at her and said, "To despise one's opponent is unwise."

“I didn’t look down on him,” Gu Yue said with a smile.

Although she said that, she didn't spare Xie Xie her gaze at all.

Wu Changkong frowned slightly, but said nothing more.

On the track, Tang Wulin ran while keeping an eye on the center of the playground, wondering what was going on with this girl who had suddenly appeared.

As he turned his head, his eyes met Gu Yue's.

Gu Yue did not look away, her eyes flickered, and she stared at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin: ...?

Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed. Was this person provoking him?

Twenty minutes passed quickly.

With his stamina fully restored, Xie Xie couldn't help but stretch, his bones cracking as he sprang up from the grass.

Xie Xie gave Wu Changkong a thumbs up, "The cards are fine!"

After a few days, Wu Changkong had become immune to Xie Xie's strange remarks and nodded indifferently.

"Thirty meters away, get ready."

Once Xie Xie had stopped thirty meters away, Gu Yue turned her gaze back to him.

"start!"

Xie Xie went all out and dashed off.

"Shine my shoes!"

However, Xie Xie regretted it the very next second after the words left his mouth, wishing he could slap himself for his sharp tongue. Gu Yue's gaze towards him was clearly hostile!

Oh no, did he accidentally stack up Gu Yue's rage buff?

Chapter 13: The First Battle Between Two Enemies

As his soul power surged, Xie Xie's left hand unleashed the Light Dragon Blade, while his right hand solidified into the shadows with the Shadow Dragon Dagger.

With the simultaneous manifestation of his two martial souls, Light and Shadow Dragon Dagger, Xie Xie's speed suddenly surged, transforming him into a streak of light and shadow as he hurtled straight towards Gu Yue.

Gu Yue seemed not to have reacted and just stood there blankly.

With a horizontal slash of the Light Dragon Blade, Xie Xie's century-old soul rings lit up beneath his feet.

A golden blade of light, accompanied by a dragon's roar, burst forth from the sky, aiming straight for Gu Yue's shoulder.

Just as the blade was about to strike, Xie Xie's figure suddenly blurred, appearing like a ghost to Gu Yue's side, and thrusting the Shadow Dragon Dagger straight at her vital point.

Just when everyone thought Gu Yue was doomed, she finally made a move.

A sudden gust of wind rose beneath Gu Yue's feet, and a wind blade struck the blade's edge precisely, deflecting it and sending it flying into empty air. At the same time, the ground bulged, and an earthen wall appeared beside her.

The Shadow Dragon Dagger's thrust struck the earthen wall squarely.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Xie saw the blue light around Gu Yue suddenly turn red, and a fireball the size of a fist exploded right in front of him.

He immediately released the Shadow Dragon Dagger that was fixed in the earthen wall, stomped his feet on the wall to gain leverage, and as he soared into the air, he twisted his waist and began to fly and spin horizontally.

The fireball exploded and split into smaller fireballs that almost grazed his face, even singeing a few strands of his hair.

As soon as his toes touched the ground, Xie Xie quickly retreated to create distance.

Seeing Xie Xie unharmed, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yue's eyes.

Wu Changkong, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, seemed to be deep in thought.

Gu Yue's mastery of the three elements of wind, fire, and ice was enough to tempt Wu Changkong to take her as a disciple.

Gu Yue finally got serious.

The elements around her suddenly surged, with wind blades raining down, fireballs flying in succession, earth spikes sprouting, and ice cones shooting out in unison, surrounding her from all sides.

The overwhelming elemental attacks instantly blocked all of Xie Xie's space to dodge.

The howling wind tore through the air, fireballs crashed down with scorching heat, sharp spikes rose from the ground, and ice spikes shot in from all directions with a bone-chilling cold.

Xie Xie's face fell. Could it be that bad?

Before he could think any further, the golden light of the Light Dragon Blade in his hand surged.

While slicing through oncoming wind blades, fireballs, and ice spikes, he barely dodged the sudden ground spikes, his terrifying speed leaving a series of afterimages.

Xie Xie was on the verge of a breakdown.

His arms were smoking from swinging so hard, and his legs were about to break, but how could Gu Yue's soul power be like a bottomless pit? Elemental attacks were raining down on him as if he didn't need any soul power at all!

Amidst his busy schedule, Xie Xie took another moment to glance at Gu Yue.

Well, her face turned slightly pale.

The battle raged for nearly a minute. Gu Yue was clearly exhausted, and her soul power fluctuations gradually became unstable. Her originally fierce elemental attacks suddenly paused.

Xie Xie's eyes sharpened, and he instantly seized this fleeting opening.

With a flash of light and shadow around him, he instantly teleported behind Gu Yue once again.

The golden light of the Light Dragon Blade surged again, slashing down with a sharp gust of wind, while the Shadow Dragon Dagger simultaneously gathered its power to the side, preparing to block all her escape routes.

He used almost all of his explosive power in this attack.

The Light Dragon Blade slashed down with a strong wind, but Gu Yue in front of him did not react for a long time.

Xie Xie's heart tightened.

Could it be that I just used up all my soul power and now I don't have the strength to defend myself?

Holy crap, if I were to slash someone with that knife, I'd kill them!

Just as Xie Xie hesitated, Gu Yue suddenly turned around, a sly smile playing on her lips, and raised her hand to launch a fireball directly at Xie Xie at close range.

Xie Xie was so stunned by the bombardment that his mind went blank, and his hair turned into an afro.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly felt his feet go weak and he sank into the ground.

Xie Xie stood there with his frizzy hair, a slit in the corner of his mouth from which a wisp of black smoke slowly drifted out. He looked like a radish planted in the ground.

Gu Yue clapped his hands with satisfaction and didn't forget to give a thumbs-up.

Wu Changkong nodded. "Alright, the outcome is decided. Congratulations to Gu Yue for becoming a member of Class 5, Grade 1."

"I refuse to accept this... Waaah!"

Xie Xie had barely struggled to utter a few words when his mouth was stuffed with a handful of mud.

Gu Yue smiled and half-squatted down in front of Xie Xie, winking mischievously, "You're not convinced? Keep it to yourself."

Xie Xie struggled, whimpering, his eyes wide open, but he couldn't move and could only glare angrily at Gu Yue.

The surrounding students couldn't hold back their laughter any longer; they covered their mouths and their shoulders trembled.

Even Wu Changkong, who always had a cold face, paused slightly, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

Xie Xie was so angry that he trembled all over. He struggled desperately to get out of the soil, but the more he struggled, the deeper he sank. After struggling for a long time, he could only spit out the dirt in his mouth.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—!"

Xie Xie regained his breath, panting heavily, and glared at Gu Yue, shouting angrily, "You cheated! I won't—"

Before he could finish speaking, a faint yellow light appeared on Gu Yue's fingertips.

"I, your humble servant, will never disagree!"

"I'm completely convinced, I'm convinced in every way!" Xie Xie's expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book, and he looked at Gu Yue with a fawning look. "Lord Gu Yue, you are exceptionally intelligent and unparalleled in the world! So, could you please release me from the ground first?"

Gu Yue nodded in satisfaction, waved his right hand, and snorted softly, "Granted!"

Xie Xie suddenly felt the soil around him loosen, and he scrambled out of the ground.

He dusted himself off, sporting a messy, frizzy hairstyle, and looked extremely disheveled.

Seeing that Gu Yue was completely unprepared, Xie Xie's eyes lit up, a wicked smile instantly spreading across his face. He grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it directly at Gu Yue's face, hitting her head with pinpoint accuracy.

Before Gu Yue could react, he turned and ran, making faces at the same time and shouting cheekily:

"Hehehe, hit me! Hit me!"

Gu Yue: "..."

She silently wiped the dirt off her face, veins throbbing on her forehead, flames blazing around her, her high ponytail billowing in the air.

“Very good,” Gu Yue said through gritted teeth.

With a wave of his hand, he mobilized wind and fire elements, and several wind blades and fireballs chased after Xie Xie.

"Hold the grass!"

Xie Xie looked back and immediately sped up again.

"Don't you dare run away!!"

"If I'm incompetent, I'll run away!"

Watching the two making a scene, Wu Changkong shook his head and silently picked up the letter of recommendation that Gu Yue had dropped on the ground.

"Elementalist?"

After glancing at it briefly, Wu Changkong walked thoughtfully toward the Academic Affairs Office.
