Gu Yuena took a deep breath, then slowly raised her right hand as a silver-white light condensed in her palm, ultimately transforming into a Silver Dragon Spear.
Qiu'er was also prepared, spreading her hands apart as two blazing flames ignited simultaneously in her palms; this was Qiu'er's Ultimate Fire.
However, Qiu'er's movements were clearly somewhat awkward; although she possessed powerful strength, she was not skilled at combat.
Usually, in the Star Dou Great Forest, she did not need to participate in any battles, naturally lacking many opportunities to hone her combat skills, let alone her combat style after transforming into human form.
Now facing this actual combat assessment, her first reaction was to release all of her Ultimate Fire in one go.
The flames surged around her body, forming a scorching sea of fire that swept toward Na'er and Gu Yue!
However, Na'er only gently swung the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, and a silver-white spear radiance slashed out like a crescent moon, splitting the oncoming Ultimate Fire right down the middle. The golden flames surged to both sides without harming her in the slightest.
Meanwhile, Gu Yue slightly raised her hand, and the ground beneath her feet suddenly flashed with a pale cyan light. An invisible wind wall condensed in front of her, blocking all of the residual flames outside.
Although Qiu'er's Ultimate Fire was formidable, her method of utilization was far too crude, consisting merely of blind release and coverage, lacking precise control and variation. For opponents of Na'er and Gu Yue's caliber, trying to gain an advantage with this level of attack was practically impossible.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena's figure had already moved. Her silhouette was like a silver-white lightning bolt, cutting a fierce arc across the battlefield, the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand carrying a sharp piercing sound as it thrust straight at Na'er!
The speed of this thrust was extremely fast, and the angle extremely tricky. If it were an ordinary opponent, they probably wouldn't even have time to react before being pierced by this spear.
However, Na'er's reaction was even faster. Her figure shifted slightly, and Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear brushed past the edge of her neck, stirring up a fierce cold wind.
While dodging, Na'er also smoothly swung out the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, carrying a silver-white arc of light to sweep across Gu Yuena's waist and abdomen!
Gu Yuena's pupils shrank slightly, and she hastily raised her spear horizontally to block. The two Silver Dragon Spears collided in mid-air, producing a crisp, piercing sound of metal clashing!
Clang—!!
The instant the two homologous Silver Dragon Spears collided, Gu Yuena felt a familiar force transmitting along the shaft.
Following closely, before Gu Yuena could adjust her posture, she sensed a fluctuation of elements quietly condensing behind her.
Gu Yue's attack had quietly arrived.
A scorching fireball flew from Gu Yue's hand, rapidly splitting in mid-air into several fist-sized fire bullets, bombarding Gu Yuena's back like shooting stars!
Gu Yuena had no time to think further; her figure spun violently, the Silver Dragon Spear spinning rapidly in her hand to bat away those fire bullets one by one.
However, the moment she just blocked the fire bullet attack, the ground beneath her feet suddenly lit up with an earthy-yellow glow, and several sharp earthen spikes violently pierced out from the ground!
Gu Yuena frowned, lightly tapping her toes on the ground, and her entire body soared into the air, narrowly dodging the attack of those earthen spikes.
Her expression turned solemn.
If she were only facing either Na'er or Gu Yue individually, relying on her heavily injured body, Gu Yuena could still be said to struggle quite a bit to cope, let alone facing both.
Overwhelming pressure welled up in Gu Yuena's heart. The Silver Dragon Spear in her hand danced once more, colliding consecutively with Na'er's spear radiance several times. Each collision made her feel the exquisiteness of the opponent's spear technique; in using the Silver Dragon Spear, Na'er was even stronger than herself.
After all, she had been healing her injuries all these years, and her spear techniques had grown somewhat rusty.
Meanwhile, the situation on Qiu'er's side had become even worse.
Although her Ultimate Fire had astonishing power, it consistently failed to truly hit either Na'er or Gu Yue.
Beads of sweat seeped from Qiu'er's forehead, her breathing grew rapid, and those golden eyes were filled with unwillingness and anxiety.
However, just as she was preparing to release another round of Ultimate Fire, Gu Yue suddenly raised her hand and gently pointed in her direction.
An ice-blue light shot out from Gu Yue's fingertip—it was an icicle of astonishing speed, hitting Qiu'er's ankle almost instantly!
Qiu'er's movements abruptly paused. Her ankle was frozen by the icicle, and her body instantly lost balance, toppling sideways.
And the moment she fell, Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear had already quietly rested against her throat.
The spear tip was less than an inch away from her throat, and the frigid aura caused Qiu'er to subconsciously hold her breath.
"... I lost."
Qiu'er somewhat dejectedly withdrew the Ultimate Fire in her hands, a hint of disappointment lingering in her golden eyes.
At the same time Qiu'er was defeated, Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear was like a silver storm, endless spear images shrouding Gu Yuena. Every thrust was quite fierce, forcing Gu Yuena to deal with it with all her might.
Just as she was focused on resisting Na'er's offensive, Gu Yue's elemental attacks had already quietly completed their setup.
Water, fire, earth, wind, and light—under her control, the five elements erupted simultaneously, transforming into attacks of various attributes that closed in on Gu Yuena from all directions!
Gu Yuena gritted her teeth, the Silver Dragon Spear dancing rapidly in her hands as silver-white spear radiance parried those attacks one by one. However, the opponents' attacks were endless, as if without limit. Gu Yuena could sense that neither of the two opponents was using their full strength, yet she herself had no spare time to use elemental abilities.
Her body was continuously depleting her already meager remaining strength, and her unhealed injuries throbbed faintly under the pull of the fierce combat.
Finally, the moment she blocked the last round of water element impact, a trace of sluggishness appeared in Gu Yuena's movements.
That trace of sluggishness might not be anything at all to ordinary people, but to Na'er and Gu Yue, it was more than enough.
Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear was like a silver-white flash of lightning, precisely tapping onto Gu Yuena's wrist. A force transmitted along the spear tip, and Gu Yuena only felt her wrist go numb as the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand nearly flew out of her grip!
Meanwhile, Gu Yue's wind and light elements condensed simultaneously, transforming into a thrusting force that pushed Gu Yuena's body backward, causing her to lose her balance.
Gu Yuena staggered two steps, barely steadying her posture. However, two Silver Dragon Spears had appeared before her simultaneously; Na'er and Gu Yue had somehow stood side by side in front of her, both silver-white spear tips pointing directly at her throat.
Gu Yuena's movements came to a halt, and she could not help letting out a soft sigh.
"... I lost."
She, the dignified Silver Dragon King, the Co-lord of Spirit Beasts, even while heavily injured, couldn't even last a single minute under this academy's assessment?
Although what she faced were also two people with the Silver Dragon King Bloodline, a loss was a loss.
After remaining silent for a moment, she raised her head to look at Na'er and Gu Yue, and asked.
"What on earth is going on with your Bloodline?"
Hearing this, Na'er withdrew the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, then smiled at Gu Yuena, her silver eyes carrying a hint of slyness.
"If you manage to successfully enroll... perhaps you'll have a chance to exchange notes in the future."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena slightly raised an eyebrow, but did not ask any further.
Meanwhile, Gu Yue put away the long spear in her hand, turned her head to look at Ye Zhi, and spoke.
"Teacher Ye Zhi, I'll be leaving first. I still need to prepare for the Five Extremes Grand Competition."
Ye Zhi nodded without saying much, and soon led Qiu'er and Gu Yuena to continue the tests. Fortunately, heaven leaves no dead ends; this academy's true assessments were only two items—one was willpower, and the other was moral character, while the rest was merely gathering information on the two.
The two of them managed to pass this entrance assessment without mishap, though Gu Yuena's inner doubts grew increasingly intense.
Not only was there Tang Wulin in this academy, who was suspected to be the Reincarnation of the Dragon God, but there were also two human girls possessing the complete Origin of the Silver Dragon King...
Then what about the Golden Dragon King? Could there be another Golden Dragon King?
Or could it be that this academy is the Dragon God's contingency plan?
A flash of complex light flickered in Gu Yuena's purple eyes; she was determined to figure out just how many secrets Shrek Academy still concealed.
