Unlike spatial teleportation, Caelus's Empty Dream Shadow Flit is an operation based on time and does not cause any spatial fluctuations.
Even the Divinities of this World mostly have only a superficial understanding of the Law of time, including that so-called God of Time.
Therefore, it is very difficult to detect or defend against this kind of coordinate transition based on the temporal plane.
Ye Guyi listened with her beautiful eyes shining brightly; although she did not fully understand the concepts of time and space, she still understood the rarity and power of this Spirit Ability of Caelus.
Gu Yuena, on the other hand, was deep in thought; Caelus's words confirmed her own perceptions and also made her develop a deeper interest in Caelus's Martial Soul.
Fine, seeing as you are so honest, I will forgive you.
Ye Guyi waved her hand and said very generously.
However, you still have to treat me to a meal; I want to eat at the most expensive window in the cafeteria.
Caelus and Gu Yuena looked at each other and smiled, nodding their heads.
The three of them walked side by side as the setting sun stretched their shadows, the atmosphere harmonious and warm.
This battle not only established their absolute status among the freshmen, but also seemed to bring these three proud and powerful hearts a little closer together.
The freshman elimination tournament was nearing its end; the eight teams decided in the morning would begin a more intense competition in this assessment area in the afternoon, vying for the final four spots.
When Caelus, Gu Yuena, and Ye Guyi stepped onto the field again, they immediately felt the burning gazes of the other seven teams.
Those gazes were mixed with scrutiny, wariness, and even a trace of imperceptible fear.
Undoubtedly, no team wanted to encounter this monster team that possessed three Soul Elders and had shown absolute dominance in the previous matches, before reaching the final four.
The drawing ceremony was completed in a tense atmosphere.
When Caelus saw his opponent, he smiled and nodded at the round figure opposite him.
His roommate, Xie Huanyue, however, had his chubby face collapse, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
He never expected his luck to be this bad, actually running directly into the strongest team led by his own roommate in the crucial battle to enter the top four.
However, backing down was impossible.
As the trump card of freshman class two and the only Soul Elder in his team, Xie Huanyue knew deeply that even if the chances of winning were slim, he had to go all out.
His homeroom teacher had long ago instructed him that when facing a strong enemy, he must show his strength and resilience; only in this way could he attract the attention of the academy's upper management and obtain better training resources.
Both sides, state your names.
freshman class six, Caelus.
freshman class six, Gu Yuena.
freshman class six, Ye Guyi.
Freshman class two, Xie Huanyue.
Freshman class two, Luo Tianlong.
Freshman class two, Luo Tianba.
After the introductions, the Referee Teacher swung his arm down: The match begins!
The Xie Huanyue team clearly had a strategy in place.
At the very start, Xie Huanyue let out a low roar, his body suddenly expanding like a balloon, his skin instantly turning into a thick, wrinkled grayish-brown, his nose elongating, and two large ears flapping, the whole person resembling a humanoid little elephant—Martial Soul, Pipi Elephant, possession.
Two yellow and one purple spirit ring rose from under his feet, and his third spirit ring shone brightly; he inhaled sharply, his already round belly bulging even more, which was his strongest defensive Spirit Ability.
And the brothers Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, like two ghostly shadows, flashed out from both sides of Xie Huanyue, their arms turning into sharp blade-arms like those of a mantis, flashing with cold light, two yellow spirit rings rising on each of them, aiming to harass and break through.
Facing his roommate's team, Caelus did not intend to end the battle quickly with a crushing force.
He needed to give Xie Huanyue a stage to showcase himself.
Leave the two of them to us.
Gu Yuena's cold voice rang out; she didn't even look at Caelus, the silver dragon spear already in her hand, and with a flash of her figure, she accurately intercepted Luo Tianlong.
The spear tip tapped lightly, and several thick earth spikes burst from the ground, stabbing toward Luo Tianlong to restrict his high-speed movement.
Ye Guyi was even more direct, her angel wings unfolding behind her, turning into a bolt of golden lightning, arriving first despite starting later, blocking Luo Tianba's sprinting path.
She did not use a Spirit Ability, merely striking out with a palm covered in Holy Light; that majestic holy Soul Power formed an invisible wall of air, making Luo Tianba feel as if he had crashed into a wall of copper and iron, his blade-arms slashing against it only causing a ripple, unable to advance an inch.
The brothers' surprise attack was lightly blocked by Gu Yuena and Ye Guyi, and they fell into their own bitter struggles, unable to provide any support to the main battlefield at all.
Now, in the center of the battlefield, only Caelus and Xie Huanyue, who had activated his strongest defensive state, remained.
Caelus, be careful.
Xie Huanyue shouted, knowing this was his only chance.
His first spirit ring flashed, and a huge phantom of an elephant trunk, carrying a whistling wind, swept horizontally toward Caelus like a giant whip, with fierce power.
Caelus's expression remained unchanged as his Second Spirit Skill flashed on his body.
His body seemed to become illusory, and time deviated on him—Second Spirit Skill: The Other Self.
The heavy and powerful elephant trunk attack passed through his body, but it was like hitting a phantom, causing no damage at all.
Xie Huanyue felt a jolt in his heart, but his combat experience was quite rich, so he immediately changed his strategy, activating his second Spirit Ability and slamming his fists fiercely into the ground.
Bang!
A powerful shockwave spread out with him as the center; this was an area-of-effect control skill, attempting to force Caelus to appear.
Unfortunately, Xie Huanyue, who did not know the truth of Caelus's Spirit Ability, miscalculated, and that shockwave also passed through Caelus's body, having no effect.
The next moment, Caelus's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind Xie Huanyue's side.
This time, he raised his right hand, Soul Power highly condensed and compressed in a peculiar way.
No spirit ring shone; this was what he had created based on his control of Soul Power and airflow—Self-Created Spirit Skill: Super-Pressure Air Blade.
The air at the edge of his palm began to twist and blur violently, as if being frantically squeezed and accelerated by an invisible force, forming an extremely thin, nearly transparent layer of super-high-speed airflow.
The most terrifying thing about this Air Blade was not its sharpness, but that it would strongly adsorb and pull the air in front of it, making target objects or energy defenses, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, spontaneously and uncontrollably crash into the sharpest edge of the Air Blade.
Caelus did not directly slash at Xie Huanyue's bulging, most heavily defended abdomen, but swung his arm, the Super-Pressure Air Blade, carrying a shrill whistle, slashing toward the side of Xie Huanyue's Pipi Elephant shoulder, where the defense was relatively weak.
The compressed airflow blade left a clear mark in the air.
