Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 23: Time and Space Fragmentation and Time Douluo

The strong wind carried sand and stones, and the rich earth-attribute energy almost turned into substance. It was so powerful that it didn't seem like the fifth soul skill of a level 56 soul king at all.

In fact, the attack launched by Mu Jingyan was indeed not as simple as the fifth soul skill, the tornado of sand.

This attack also included the soul bone skill of his right leg soul bone, Wrath of the Earth. The superposition of these two thousand-year soul skills from the same soul beast had already surpassed the power of the sixth soul skill used by ordinary soul emperors.

Facing Mu Jingyan's all-out decisive attack, Shu Yan no longer held back. Four soul rings beyond ordinary people's imagination slowly rose up, and the fourth-ranked ten thousand year soul ring suddenly burst out with a heart-pounding black light.

Wherever this light passed, everything fell into a strange state of stiffness as if the pause button was forcibly pressed. Even the sandstorm that was originally roaring came to a standstill in the same place. No one knew what had happened.

The next moment, the void shook violently, and the originally solidified space began to crack like a mirror. Countless tiny cracks spread rapidly, and dark caves appeared. The surrounding light was swallowed up in an instant, and darkness completely enveloped the surroundings. An extremely powerful suction force burst out from it, affecting the entire fighting spirit area, making everyone present feel a little unstable.

And this is exactly the fourth soul skill of Yazi Wannian, the destruction of time and space!
As the name suggests, this attack not only inherited the terrifying power of the Thorn Dragon's innate soul skill, Space Shattering, but also added the special ability to stop the movement of space within a certain range. This attack is undoubtedly Shu Yan's most powerful area attack soul skill...

The referee from the Fighting Spirit Zone, watching from the sidelines, was already dumbfounded. He hadn't been informed at the start of the fight that the clash between the two students would be so unbelievable. If he had rashly gotten involved in a clash of this magnitude, even if he survived, he would have been seriously injured...

In fact, the referees in the inner courtyard fighting spirit area are arranged by judging the strength of the students on both sides of the fighting spirit. For example, Shu Yan and the other two have soul power levels below the Soul Emperor level, so the highest referee assigned is the Soul Saint level.

But the collision between the two had already exceeded the scope that a Soul Saint could control. In this situation, he was completely caught in a dilemma.

If he intervened, there was a high possibility that he would lose his life, but if he didn't intervene and something happened to the two inner court students, wouldn't he lose the position in the inner court of Shrek Academy that he had worked so hard to get into?
Even as the referee fretted, the shattered void continued to expand, and so did the suction force. In a fleeting moment, the once overwhelming sandstorm was completely devoured, and even the surrounding ground began to crumble and disappear bit by bit, until it reached the audience seats...

The shocked expressions on the faces of all the spectators turned into horror. They felt the smell of death. This feeling was extremely real, a fear and uneasiness that came from the bottom of their hearts.

Even without being reminded, everyone knew that if they didn't flee at this moment, the only outcome awaiting them would be death...

The expression on Shu Yan's face was not very good either. As the void crack opened wider and wider, the connection between his heart and his soul skills was weakening little by little.

He had previously fought two consecutive battles with the Soul Kings, and at this point, his soul power and the spatial force accumulated within his body were nearly depleted. In other words, he no longer had much energy left to rebuild the connection with his soul skill...

But the next moment, before Shu Yan could think of other solutions, a turning point quietly appeared...

Just as the void crack began to gradually decompose and devour the audience seats near the backcourt, a dazzling silver light suddenly burst out from the void.

Shu Yan's pupils shrank. He sensed an extremely powerful spatial force from this silver light. Beyond this spatial force, there seemed to be a faint and elusive strange power...

The silver light instantly transformed into a huge barrier that enveloped the shattered void, isolating it from all collapse and suction, giving the inner court students who were still struggling on the edge a chance to escape.

Shu Yan also took the opportunity to retreat a distance. He found that after this force intervened, the void crack that was originally expanding rapidly stabilized at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, silver streams of light flew rapidly from mid-air. Under the influence of the silver light, the dark caves slowly healed, and the space soon returned to normal. The powerful suction force also slowly disappeared until it returned to its original state.

From the beginning to the appearance, the owner of this power took less than half a minute to successfully repair such a huge void crack.

And there is no pressure at all during the process, it's like doing it casually.

The silver barrier disappeared, and two streams of light, one gold and one red, came quickly from the audience seats, and finally turned into the figures of Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming.

The two of them grabbed Shu Yan's arms, one on the left and one on the right. Then Han Ruoruo asked anxiously:

"Ayan, are you okay?"

Shu Yan shook his head slightly, signaling the two to calm down. After a moment, he said softly:
"I'm fine, I just consumed a lot of my soul power. Don't worry, after all, I'm not so weak that I can't escape from my own soul skills."

After hearing Shu Yan's words, Han Ruoruo's frantically beating heart finally felt better. Wu Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then she slapped Shu Yan's shoulder in anger and said with fear:

"How could you have such a terrifying soul skill? You know, I almost thought a fixed soul guide shell exploded in the fighting spirit area just now. That heart-pounding feeling was simply fatal..."

Shu Yan ignored Wu Ming's muttering. The next moment, as if he had sensed something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the remaining stands opposite the fighting spirit area.

There, a tall and burly middle-aged man was looking at him.

Shu Yan exhaled lightly, his expression showing no sadness or joy. He gently broke free from Han Ruoruo's hand, then whispered:

"It was that senior who just helped me solve this big problem. I have to go meet him and thank him in person."

As he spoke, a silver light flashed from Shu Yan's body. Before the two could react, the remaining force of space surged, carrying him away instantly. Han Ruoruo was startled when her hand missed. The next moment, the two of them followed Shu Yan's gaze, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Wu Ming was the first to react. She slapped her forehead fiercely, a hint of joy on her face, and she pulled Han Ruoruo over to fly over there, saying as she flew:

"Look at our memory. I almost forgot that we have such a senior in Shrek Academy. So, it seems that Shu Yan's making such a big fuss this time is not a bad thing..."

Han Ruoruo didn't say anything more. She was not as carefree as Wu Ming. Shu Yan had caused too much noise this time, and it almost led to extremely serious consequences...

This matter is indeed a big one, but it can be dealt with in just a few words. Ultimately, it all depends on how the academy handles it...

Her thoughts were complicated. After calming down a bit, Han Ruoruo made a comprehensive assessment of the reality. After repeated deductions, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having the initial worries...

……

On the other side, Shu Yan, who had teleported over, was already standing opposite the burly middle-aged man. Next to the middle-aged man was Mu Jingyan, the Giant Peak Dragon Soul King who had just fought with Shu Yan with all his strength.

However, his condition at this time was not very good. There were bloodstains all over his body, especially on his right shoulder where a piece of flesh was missing. It looked bloody and very scary.

But unexpectedly, when he looked at Shu Yan this time, there was not much resentment and anger in his eyes for having almost killed him just now. Instead, there was a sincere admiration and fanatical fighting spirit.

He barely raised his arms and respectfully saluted the middle-aged man beside him, then said to Shu Yan:
"Brother Shu, I lost this duel with you. It's been a long time since I've felt this suffocating feeling of near death. It's given me many insights and also brought new twists and turns to my cultivation path. Within a year after this battle, I will definitely be able to break through to the Soul Emperor level... Then, I hope to have another battle like this with you, one that has nothing to do with external factors and is fought solely by instinct. Even if I die, it will only prove that I am inferior to you in skill, and I will never regret it..."

After saying that, he clasped his fists towards Shu Yan again, his eyes firm and sincere, which made people inexplicably shocked and admired.

"Don't worry, Brother Mu, I'm always here for you."

Shu Yan also clasped his fists and his eyes met Mu Jingyan's, his expression equally firm and unwavering.

In his eyes, perhaps only people like Mu Jingyan who are wholeheartedly seeking strong enemies and regard fighting as a belief can be called pure warriors. To be honest, after this experience, Shu Yan admires him very much.

At the same time, Mu Jingyan's personality was just as Wu Ming had said before, a madman who was born for fighting.

Mu Jingyan smiled gently at Shu Yan, then stood up and limped out. Compared to Shu Yan, who was only suffering from the depletion of his soul power, his injuries were very serious. If he was not treated in time, he would probably suffer serious internal injuries.

After Mu Jingyan left, Shu Yan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He then bowed respectfully and said:

"Thank you for your help today, otherwise I would have been in big trouble..."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, without much blame on his face. Instead, he looked at Shu Yan with admiration and emotion. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly:

"Your spirit skills are unique and powerful, but your control over spatial force isn't yet sufficient to allow you to precisely control their power and range. The power of space is incredibly mysterious. Beyond the surface you're familiar with, there are nearly endless mysteries... Young man, you still have a lot to learn on the path of spatial force."

Having said that, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, and then continued:

"Let's leave this matter at that. Thankfully, you didn't cause any casualties, which is incredibly fortunate... As for the damaged competition stage, we'll have someone to repair it later. However, the cost of repairing any areas outside of the stage will be borne by you. This is the academy's policy, and I hope you'll abide by it."

"Also, let me remind you that space is the most difficult attribute to control. When you use this soul skill in the future, you must carefully assess the risks and not endanger innocent people. This is also of paramount importance. You must remember this."

The middle-aged man spoke slowly, but his tone became much heavier when he got to the key points, which made Shu Yan feel a clear sense of pressure.

But then, as the middle-aged man smiled again, the pressure suddenly disappeared, and the middle-aged man's voice became gentle again, as if he was comforting Shu Yan, or as if he was expressing emotion.

"Honestly, after what happened today, I've become very interested in you. When I was your age, I couldn't control and develop space to the same degree as you. If you have time in the future, you can come to Poseidon Pavilion to find me. I'd be happy to teach you and answer your questions..."

"Also, my name is Shixing, and my nickname is Time, Time Douluo Shixing..."

Hmm… I didn’t control the word count well when I wrote it before, and I wrote 3,500 words in one chapter. As expected, today’s two chapters combined have exceeded 6,000 words again…
