Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 21 Gu Yue
in the following time.

The daily curriculum basically includes running exercises as physical training.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were given special attention in preparation for the promotion competition.

Of all the trainees, only Su Qiu didn't have to run. However, none of the trainees envied him.

Because while they were running, Su Qiu was fighting against Wu Changkong.

It's the same every day.

Unlike their first battle, neither of them used their soul power. They simply exchanged blows with their wooden swords.

After a match, during the break, Wu Changkong displayed a completely different demeanor than he had shown in front of his students. He remarked, "Your swordsmanship has improved rapidly. If you can comprehend the essence of swordsmanship, your strength will increase dramatically."

Su Qiu's combat talent was beyond his imagination. Even though his soul power level was far lower than his, he would still gain a lot after each sparring session.

In Wu Changkong's eyes, Su Qiu was not a student, but a fellow traveler with whom he could grow together.

"Sword intent"

This was somewhat abstract for Su Qiu.

His cultivation period was still too short. Only three years.

Forging, training, and fighting.

Each of these tasks requires a significant amount of time.

A level four blacksmith, who has just broken through to level thirty-three in soul power, and possesses extremely powerful combat skills.

To achieve this, Su Qiu worked harder than an ox or a horse for the past three years.

Just then, a girl slowly walked towards the school gate from the middle school playground.

The girl looked about the same age as the students in Class 5, wearing a white top and white trousers.

She has delicate features, but isn't considered beautiful. She has long black hair and black eyes. Her figure, however, is very well-proportioned, and she's considered above average for her age.

Wu Changkong's gaze lingered on her for only a moment before he ignored her and continued to review their sparring session with Su Qiu.

The girl looked over with bright, piercing eyes.

She approached, and as she walked, there seemed to be a special rhythm in her steps, which also accentuated the strange aura around her.

Wu Changkong was too lazy to pay attention to it and preferred to discuss it with Su Qiu.

"Teacher," the girl called out.

Left with no other choice, Wu Changkong temporarily stopped the discussion and stepped forward.

"what's up?"

"I came here to study, but they said the registration period has already passed." The girl seemed to be asking Wu Changkong, but her gaze was curiously fixed on Su Qiu.

Su Qiu's heart tightened, and she began to rack her brains.

Is this Guyue?

At the same time, he quietly moved his feet behind Wu Changkong.

"Aren't you a student at Donghai Academy?" Wu Changkong frowned.

"Not yet."

"Then come back next year. Who can you blame if you miss your chance?" Wu Changkong's unexpected answer and impatience made the girl pause, as if she didn't know how to continue.

"But I really want to study here, is that okay, teacher? I can take the exam."

"Then I'll give you a chance," Wu Changkong said coldly. "What's your name?"

"Gu Yue."

Wu Changkong nodded and called out, "Thank you, Xie!"

The girl froze, and after a moment's thought, should she reply with "You're welcome"?
Just as I was about to say it.

One of the students running on the playground took off his iron armor and handed it to the classmate next to him, then broke away from the group and ran over.

"Huff, huff." Xie Xie gasped for breath, then asked, "Teacher, what is it?"

Seeing Xie Xie's tired appearance, Wu Changkong said, "Your stamina is too poor." Xie Xie protested, "We agility-type battle spirit masters only need explosive power and flexibility, not too much stamina."

"Superficial." Wu Changkong was too lazy to say more at this moment, and pointed at Gu Yue, "Since you don't want to run, then I'll give you a chance to beat her, and we'll forget about running laps this time."

"Huh?" Xie Xie was terrified. "Me, fighting with Su Qiu?"

"Huh? What Su Qiu?" Wu Changkong then noticed that Gu Yue had unknowingly moved to Su Qiu's side and was staring at him intently.

Su Qiu stood up straight and looked straight ahead.

“It’s not Su Qiu, it’s that girl.” Wu Changkong shook his head.

"Oh, that's good." After glancing at the girl a few times, Xie Xie adjusted his soul power and said indifferently, "Now?"

"You can rest for twenty minutes before we begin."

Xie Xie immediately sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate and rest. Running laps non-stop was taking a toll on him.

"Teacher, can I fight him?" the girl suddenly asked, pointing at Su Qiu.

Before Wu Changkong could answer, Su Qiu shook her head repeatedly, "I don't have time, teacher. I haven't finished digesting what we just had."

Wu Changkong looked surprised. What did he mean by "not digested properly"? What nonsense!

Do Su Qiu and Gu Yue know each other?
“No.” Wu Changkong chose to comply with Su Qiu and rejected Gu Yue’s suggestion.

After being rejected, Gu Yue never brought it up again.

Twenty minutes passed just like that.

Xie Xie regained his composure, sprang to his feet, and stretched his limbs.

"Thirty meters away." Wu Changkong, acting as the referee, announced, "Begin!"

The battle was about to begin. Xie Xie shot out, but his explosive power and agility, which he was so proud of, didn't even touch the hem of Gu Yue's clothes.

Gu Yue used all the elements of ice, fire, earth, and wind to their fullest extent, making the battle scenes almost one-sided, like an old man playing with a child.

Gu Yue is truly an old man.

Xie Xie is truly a mischievous child.

Su Qiu thought to herself.

Watching the battle unfold, Wu Changkong was not surprised when Gu Yue raised two purple soul rings.

However, Wu Changkong was quite curious about her endless elemental powers.

"What kind of martial soul is this? Why does it have so many attributes?" Having already regarded Su Qiu as an equal in strength, Wu Changkong asked unintentionally.

“It should be a martial soul that controls elemental power.” Su Qiu opened his palm. Three elemental orbs—wind, water, and fire—appeared in his palm, spinning continuously.

Looking at the elemental attacks Gu Yue used not far away, Su Qiu felt a little strange.

"You..." Wu Changkong was momentarily surprised. It was the first time he had seen Su Qiu use such power.

Why didn't it work in the previous battles?
After hesitating for a moment, Wu Changkong did not ask. Since Su Qiu said that he used his full strength at the time, then his elemental power must not be very strong.

Not far away, Gu Yue, who was toying with Xie Xie, suddenly turned around and froze on the spot the moment Su Qiu revealed the three elements.

"A good opportunity." Xie Xie's eyes lit up, and he unleashed his full power, his Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger clashing as he charged forward.

With a flash of silver light, Gu Yue suddenly shifted three meters to the side. She didn't want to play anymore; important matters needed to be addressed.

"As expected." Su Qiu was certain that Gu Yue had come for him.

In the original novel, Gu Yue came to Donghai Academy because of Na'er's bet, and only later did he discover that Tang Wulin possessed the power of the Golden Dragon King.

His return to Donghai Academy now couldn't possibly be due to some remaining bet, could it? The only thing that could attract Gu Yue and Na'er to Su Qiu was the power of the Holy Lance.

Over the past three years, Su Qiu has carefully studied the elemental control that the Holy Lance has given him.

He had a high priority in controlling it, and after many experiments with Su Wuyan, the Super Douluo, and Mu Chen, the Saint Craftsman, they came to a seemingly plausible conclusion.

Su Qiu's control over the elements seems to be a privilege granted by this world, or rather, by nature.

　You guys would rather see the main characters fight.
　　Let's focus on the daily interactions between the main character and the girl.

　　Next up is Gu Yue, the eternal virgin.
