Chapter 184 - Tang Wulin's Thousand-Year Soul Ring
Xu Xiaoyan had thought one month was plenty of time to prove herself but after seeing these numbers, she finally understood how large the gap between her and the other three.
Xu Xiaoyan raised her hand. “Teacher Wu, I'd like to test my spiritual power again at night.”
“Hm?” Wu Zhangkong turned to look at her. “Does the night affect your spiritual power?”
“Mn.” Xu Xiaoyan nodded.
This had been her greatest secret, but her compet.i.tive nature dragged it out of her.
“Alright.”
“The combat test will begin in a moment. You'll battle in pairs; Tang Wulin with Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie with Gu Yue.” Wu Zhangkong instructed.
Xie Xie went silent. Gu Yue frowned and said, “Teacher Wu, that's not fair. We have two rings, while they only have one ring. We should pair a one ring with a two ring. How about I go with Wulin, and the agile Xie Xie pairs with Xu Xiaoyan's Starwheel Ice Staff? Xie Xie's soul power is the highest after all.”
Her words nearly caused Xie Xie to be in tears. Just how much do you loathe me! Notwithstanding the fact that my soul power is the highest, if you pair up with Tang Wulin, how am is my group supposed to fight? In his eyes, Xu Xiaoyan was like a child brought from a previous marriage, void of any hope.
“Do as I said. Who said that a battle must be fair?” Wu Zhangkong said indifferently.

Xu Xiaoyan stood next to Tang Wulin while Xie Xie and Gu Yue stood opposite of them. A mysterious calming aura exuded from Tang Wulin, giving her with a sense of security.
“Do you have the same apt.i.tude as your brother?” Tang Wulin asked Xu Xiaoyan.
Xu Xiaoyan nodded. “I'm a long-ranged elemental attacker like him. My first soul skill is the same as my brother, Ice Wheel, although my control is a bit better than his. Actually, I'm a lot more powerful at night.”
Tang Wulin smiled. “It's a pity that it's still daytime. Well, whatever. Try to stay behind me; I'll protect you. Let's do our best together.” His impression of Xu Xiaoyu wasn't anything good especially after the incident with Ouyang Zixin, but he harbored no malice toward Xu Xiaoyan. In fact, he sympathized with her when Wu Zhangkong had said that she only had one month to prove herself. Her situation reminded him of the pressure he was under before his Bluesilver Gra.s.s had mutated.
“Mn, mn.” Xu Xiaoyan repeatedly nodded.
“Let's start then. Do your best.” Wu Zhangkong said from a distance.
“Then Wulin, I won't be polite. Wahaha!” A strange laugh left Xie Xie's mouth and a moment later, he sped towards Tang Wulin like the wind. It was obvious that he had spent his one month vacation improving, not playing around as he had said.
Gu Yue raised her hand and shot fireb.a.l.l.s at Tang Wulin while enveloping Xie Xie in the wind element. She slowly advanced upon her opponents.
She's firing from so far away? Would it reach us?
They were still separated by fifty meters. From Tang Wulin's knowledge, there was no way the fireball could fly that far.
However, Gu Yue soon displayed the might of having 278 points of spiritual power.
After flying ten meters, the fireball suddenly split into five small collinear fireb.a.l.l.s. Each consecutive one sped up and rammed into the one in front from behind until they compressed together into a far more powerful and swift fireball.
It was smaller compared to the original fireball, and an orange hue surrounded it now. It shot towards Tang Wulin's stomach like like an artillery sh.e.l.l.
An ear-piercing blast tore through the air as heat mirages tailed the tangerine ball of flame.
Xie Xie nearly jumped in fright when the little flame whizzed past him.
The fireball finally arrived in front of Tang Wulin. He had never looked down upon Gu Yue's strength. Though he had never dueled her, he knew that she could easily restrain him, so he didn't use his Heavy Silver Hammers.
After his trip to Heaven Dou City, he understood now that strength stemmed from one's self. Even battle armor merely enhanced one's own abilities.
