29: Gu Yue was beaten and cried.

Shen Guyan paused for a brief moment before springing up once again. This time, his speed was noticeably a notch faster than before. When he was still a meter away from Gu Yue, the hundred-year spirit ring on his body flared with light once more, and the canglang sword trembled violently in a small arc, stabbing toward his opponent with terrifying speed.

Seeing that this sword strike was about to hit Gu Yue's shoulder, a flash of green light flickered on her body again. A streak of green light struck the canglang sword with pinpoint accuracy; it appeared to be a light blade, and it was also green in color.

The green light blade was not as strong as the canglang sword and was instantly shattered by it. However, in that split second of delay, Gu Yue tilted her body slightly and avoided the attack of the canglang sword once more. The canglang sword was also enveloped by the green light that had dispersed and reformed; the light's color suddenly turned blue and then rapidly condensed into ice.

Shen Guyan never expected to succeed with a single strike. Therefore, as Gu Yue stepped aside to dodge the canglang sword, he quickly spun around, swinging his arm back in a wide arc aimed directly at Gu Yue's face.

This series of offensive techniques caused even the strict teacher-in-charge to nod inwardly in approval. Although Shen Guyan's cultivation had not yet reached two rings, he was indeed already a fully qualified Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master.

The entire class was also watching this battle. Although they were onlookers this time, they felt the gap between themselves and Shen Guyan even more deeply. They had more or less sparred with him during physical training classes, but after watching this fight, they realized just how much Shen Guyan had been holding back against them.

Gu Yue never imagined that Shen Guyan would actually abandon his Spirit and choose to engage in hand-to-hand combat with her!

Drifting in a drunken stupor, the heroic Spirit is unrestrainable, exhaled like a great rainbow piercing through the constellations.

The Beggars Sect is the number one sect in the world, hidden within the city, wandering freely among the marketplaces. Most of their battles are like violent storms; they do not carry blades or swords, winning through close-quarters grappling by entering the fray empty-handed against blades.

During his time roaming the Jianghu, Shen Guyan had already mastered the strengths of a hundred schools, establishing his position as the number one person in the Martial Forest. Close-quarters grappling was originally the specialty of the Beggars Sect.

"You!"

Gu Yue was both shocked and angry. Her delicate body leaned back, her feet stumbled slightly, and she fell back half a step, barely managing to dodge his strike.

The moment his toes touched the ground, Shen Guyan suddenly felt a suction force coming from the floor, as if he had stepped into a muddy swamp; one foot sank right in.

At the same time, an ice spike was already fired from Gu Yue's backhand.

The target was not Shen Guyan, but beneath Shen Guyan's feet.

The mud that his foot had stepped into solidified the moment the ice spike was injected, and one of Shen Guyan's feet was instantly fixed to the ground.

"Humph!" Gu Yue turned and raised her hand, and a fireball immediately flew toward him.

At such a close distance, as an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master, Shen Guyan's Tool Spirit was frozen and one foot was sealed to the ground; it seemed impossible to dodge.

If she thought this would make Shen Guyan lose, she was truly underestimating his martial arts foundation.

"Break!" The Great Primordial Art was activated with full force. The ice-sealed canglang sword instantly shattered the ice, its Sword Intent erupting in a move called Wild Goose Returning to the Morning Sun.

The canglang sword slashed out, striking the fireball with extreme precision. Instantly, sparks flew everywhere as the fireball exploded into pieces.

"It's not over yet!" Gu Yue flipped both hands simultaneously, and ice spikes and fireballs were continuously fired at him.

Shen Guyan started with the Three Falls of the Cloud Terrace. Every attack accurately hit Gu Yue's projectiles, slashing them into dissipation.

The surrounding teachers and students watched with eyes sparkling with excitement, not just because of Shen Guyan, but even more so because of Gu Yue.

Ice, Fire, Earth, and Wind—she had already used these four abilities one after another in her battle with Shen Guyan. What she displayed included various skills for both control and attack.

Although everyone could not understand where these Spirit Abilities of hers came from, the fact that she could achieve the shared use of four elemental attributes with just one spirit ring undoubtedly meant she possessed a Super Spirit!

Seeing that the restraint on Shen Guyan's foot was about to be broken, at that moment, an ambiguous smile appeared on Gu Yue's face. Immediately after, Shen Guyan saw that the next thing thrown from her hand was no longer a fireball, but a white ball of light.

Just as Shen Guyan thought 'this is bad,' the light instantly exploded in front of his eyes. Out of a physical self-protection mechanism, he subconsciously closed his eyes.

At that very moment, silver light flashed on Gu Yue's body as she suddenly shifted three meters to Shen Guyan's side and rear, with a fireball ready to be launched.

At this point in the spar, Gu Yue's victory could basically be determined. However, for some reason, Shen Guyan still gave her a sense of crisis like thorns on her back, forcing her to make a move.

Because she was at his side and rear, what Gu Yue couldn't see was that Shen Guyan, with his eyes tightly closed, suddenly smiled.

How could Gongzi Yu, who traveled the Jianghu and faced the world's heroes, rely solely on his naked eyes to dodge assassinations?

Drunkenly forgetting the place where the flowers were moved, who is playing the jade flute in the wind?

The jade flute in the breeze, the intoxicated heart entering a dream; the Mortal World's moved flowers depart, and the vast sea's song arrives. The Flower Shifting martial arts take the Bright Jade Art as their Mind-Cultivation Technique; the Internal Energy is withdrawn rather than emitted, like a clear current of the vast sea, endless and never-ceasing.

The fireball was fired, but it was caught by Shen Guyan's palm. He then used the Shifting Flowers and Joining Jade palm technique to neutralize the force, and finally pushed it back toward Gu Yue in reverse.

How could Gu Yue have expected that Shen Guyan could still launch a counterattack against her in such a situation? She subconsciously wanted to use the wind element to bounce it away.

Boom!

However, the fire was aided by the wind. The fireball exploded accurately on her body, and she was sent flying backward.

Only then did Shen Guyan turn around. He immediately performed the Heavenly Netherworld Earthly Vast Great Teleportation Technique, reaching out to catch Gu Yue in his arms.

"Are you okay?" Shen Guyan looked at the girl in his arms, whose face was covered in black soot. The half-smiling expression on his face made Gu Yue unable to hold it in any longer; her small mouth puckered, and she almost burst into tears.

It was too frustrating!

The practice session ended. At this stage, the surrounding teachers and students almost had their eyes pop out of their heads.

This girl who seemed very powerful also lost... the Young Master of the Shen family continued to maintain his undefeated record.

"Teacher, I'll take her to the infirmary to get checked out." Shen Guyan picked up Gu Yue with a smile, and after greeting the teacher-in-charge, he walked toward the infirmary at a leisurely pace, leaving everyone confused in the wind.

The infirmary was not far away, and the school doctor happened to be out for some reason. Shen Guyan had no choice but to apply the ointment to Gu Yue himself.

"You bullied me!" As soon as Gu Yue was put down by Shen Guyan, she shouted at him fiercely.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault. I didn't expect you to actually use the wind element to block a fireball." Shen Guyan smiled helplessly, skillfully tore open a package to take out a medical wet towel, and crouched down to wipe Gu Yue's face.

"Humph!" Gu Yue turned her head away arrogantly. Being injured by her own elemental attack, she had really made a fool of herself today...
