"Yangzi, Jinxi, long time no see!"
Jing Shaoyu looked at the two former classmates in front of him, quite happy, and shouted with a smile.
"Hehe, class monitor, we watched your match today, you're still so amazing!" Wang Jinxi said admiringly, "Yangzi and I also participated in the individual competition, but unfortunately, we both fell in the third round."
"Perhaps, as our academy's team leader said, this Skysea Alliance Grand Competition is just a formality for us; the next one will be our real stage." Zhang Yangzi said, "But, when I think that you, class monitor, are the same age as us, I feel that our teacher is overthinking things."
"Hahaha, how can you be sure that I will participate in the next Grand Competition?" Jing Shaoyu said, "If I win the championship this time, it won't be interesting to come again next time."
"Ah, this!" Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi felt that Jing Shaoyu's words made a lot of sense, so they both gave him a thumbs up and said, "As expected of the class monitor!"
"Alright, stop flattering me. Let's go, I'll treat you to a feast!" Jing Shaoyu chuckled, patted the two on the shoulders, and said as he walked.
"Oh ho!" Hearing that Jing Shaoyu was going to treat, Wang Jinxi's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "If the class monitor is treating, then I won't be polite!"
So, Jing Shaoyu and the other two found a good seafood restaurant.
"Class monitor, you specially invited Jinxi and me to dinner, is there something you need our help with?" Zhang Yangzi asked when the three of them were almost finished eating.
"Yangzi is still the most observant." Jing Shaoyu didn't hide anything, and said with a smile, "You guys have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, I wonder if you've heard of Harmonization Cultivation?"
"Harmonization Cultivation?" Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were both stunned, showing puzzled expressions as they looked at Jing Shaoyu.
"Yes, Harmonization Cultivation." Jing Shaoyu then explained the meaning and effect of Harmonization Cultivation to the two. After listening, they both showed surprised and eager expressions.
"I didn't expect there to be such a thing." Wang Jinxi exclaimed.
"So, class monitor, you asked us out because you want us to try Harmonization Cultivation?" Zhang Yangzi said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Jing Shaoyu nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right."
"Class monitor, I have a question. Don't you and Gu Yue also have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique? Have you and her not tried it?" Wang Jinxi asked doubtfully.
"It's because Harmonization Cultivation failed between her and me that I wanted to ask you to confirm it." Jing Shaoyu waved his hand helplessly and said, "I want to confirm one thing: can all Soul Master combinations with Martial Soul Fusion Techniques perform Harmonization Cultivation, or can only Soul Master combinations that meet specific conditions do so?
To be honest, Xiao Yan and I also have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and I can perform Harmonization Cultivation with her, but it always fails with Gu Yue, so you should understand."
"Oh~ I understand, I understand! Hehehe." Wang Jinxi showed a meaningful smile and chuckled.
Compared to Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi's focus was much more normal. He looked surprised and said, "Class monitor, you and Xiao Yan also have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique? This, this, this is a bit beyond my understanding!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this is also beyond my understanding!" Wang Jinxi echoed.
"Hehehe." Jing Shaoyu smiled and said nothing.
"Alright, class monitor, we'll try it when we get back today." Seeing that Jing Shaoyu smiled and didn't speak, Zhang Yangzi didn't dwell on the matter and answered straightforwardly.
"Okay, thank you." Jing Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed smile on his face, and said.
After returning to the Skysea Grand Hotel, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi prepared to say goodbye and leave, but Jing Shaoyu suggested that they go upstairs to see the others. After all, they were once comrades who fought side by side.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi agreed after hearing this.
When Jing Shaoyu brought Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi back to the room, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were chatting in the living room, while Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan were nowhere to be seen. When the two saw Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, they were very happy and immediately rushed up to hug them.
"Xiaoyan, Gu Yue, come out, Yangzi and Jinxi are here." Jing Shaoyu shouted towards the two girls' room.
A slight movement came from inside the room. Gu Yue opened the door and walked into the living room, politely nodding to Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi as a greeting. Then, her gaze landed on Jing Shaoyu's face. Jing Shaoyu noticed Gu Yue's gaze, deep and pure, like a bottomless cold pool.
Facing Gu Yue's gaze, Jing Shaoyu simply smiled faintly.
Xu Xiaoyan walked out of Jing Shaoyu's room, which surprised Jing Shaoyu slightly. This girl, was she really planning to take up permanent residence in his room?
"Long time no see, Yangzi, Jinxi." Xu Xiaoyan greeted Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi with a grin.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi stayed for more than an hour before leaving. After the two left, Jing Shaoyu and the others also prepared to rest.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie returned to their respective rooms, and Xu Xiaoyan also ran into Jing Shaoyu's room. Jing Shaoyu glanced at the silent Gu Yue, a slight ripple arising in his heart, and then he also walked towards his room.
"Shaoyu!" Just as Jing Shaoyu was about to push the door open, Gu Yue called out.
His heart immediately let out a triumphant cheer, then he turned back without changing his expression and said, "What's wrong?"
"Come with me." At this moment, Gu Yue's eyes flickered with complex light, her tone carrying a hint of apprehension as she said to Jing Shaoyu, then turned and walked towards her room.
Seeing this, Jing Shaoyu immediately followed.
Inside Gu Yue's room, the two stood facing each other. Jing Shaoyu was taller than Gu Yue, so he lowered his head, his gaze naturally falling on Gu Yue's face. Gu Yue, however, kept her eyes lowered, and from the way her hands were constantly fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, it was clear that she was struggling with something in her heart.
The atmosphere between the two was a bit strange, with a hint of restlessness in the silence.
"Gu Yue, you..." Seeing that Gu Yue was not speaking, Jing Shaoyu took the initiative to speak, but before he could finish, Gu Yue suddenly looked up, reached out her jade hand, and placed it on Jing Shaoyu's lips.
She said, "Don't talk, listen to me!"
Jing Shaoyu blinked and nodded, indicating that it was no problem.
"Hoo—" Gu Yue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her whole body softening as she naturally leaned into Jing Shaoyu's arms, her pretty face pressed against Jing Shaoyu's shoulder. She said, "I think you must have suspected whether my Martial Soul is really an Elementalist, right?"
Hearing this, a barely perceptible excitement flashed in Jing Shaoyu's eyes. Finally, it was coming, Gu Yue's first confession! Seeing that Jing Shaoyu did not reply, Gu Yue took it as a tacit agreement, a relaxed smile appearing on her face as she said, "Hehe, do you want to know what my Martial Soul really is?"
"What is it?" Jing Shaoyu asked.
Gu Yue raised her head and looked into Jing Shaoyu's eyes. Jing Shaoyu lowered his head in time to meet her gaze. A flash of silver light flashed in Gu Yue's eyes, and then Gu Yue said, "This is my real Martial Soul, Silver Dragon."
"Silver Dragon?!" Jing Shaoyu was stunned. Why wasn't it the Seven-Colored Dragon from the original story?
Gu Yue seemed to have expected Jing Shaoyu's reaction, a playful smugness appearing on her face as she said, "Looks like there are things you don't know too, heh heh heh, your expression is really funny."
Jing Shaoyu looked helplessly at Gu Yue, whose laughter was melodious and pleasant. After knowing her for so long, it was the first time he had seen such a happy side of Gu Yue, and the first time he had heard Gu Yue's hearty laughter, which had a special infectiousness.
"Silver Dragon, one of the highest-ranking true dragons in the Dragon race, born with the talent to control the power of multiple elements, is the purest elemental controller." Gu Yue introduced the Silver Dragon to Jing Shaoyu, her tone carrying a hint of pride. "For the Silver Dragon, all elements belong to their energy and means, they are the messengers of the elements, so when I say my Martial Soul is an Elementalist, it's not really lying to you.
Because the Silver Dragon Martial Soul is too powerful and rare, people often lack understanding of it. If I didn't tell you, if we didn't have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, I'm afraid you would never suspect my Martial Soul, right?"
"Hehe." Jing Shaoyu smiled without saying a word.
"Hmph!" Gu Yue snorted softly and said, "Only when my cultivation reaches Soul Saint will the Silver Dragon Martial Soul fully awaken, so if I don't say it, no one will ever know my true Martial Soul."
As she said this, Gu Yue stretched out a hand, her fair palm facing upwards. A ball of flame appeared in her palm, the flames burning fiercely. The next moment, the flames dissipated, replaced by a drop of water. Then, wind, rock, space, light, and darkness were successively displayed in her palm.
"Seven elements!" It was the first time Jing Shaoyu had directly felt Gu Yue's elemental power so intuitively, filled with surprise and envy. Although his Origin Spirit Martial Soul also possessed a certain elemental ability, it was completely impossible for him to use them as freely and easily as Gu Yue.
"Hmph hmph, to be precise, it's eight elements!" Gu Yue said smugly, waving her hand, and an ice cone appeared in her hand.
