Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 36 The Power of Time (Please Read!)
Time and space have always been the kings of all attributes.

Especially time, the power derived from this attribute is the most wonderful and special, and from ancient times to the present, there are very few soul masters who can master this power. In such a large Shrek Academy, the only soul master who can truly control these two powers at the same time is Time Douluo Shixing.

Xuan Zi didn't know how many surprises he had found in Shu Yan. He had watched most of Shu Yan's games in the Fighting Spirit Zone a few days ago, but he had been hiding in the dark and had never shown up.

Even when Shu Yan used his fourth soul ring to cause space to shatter and nearly annihilate the entire fighting soul zone, he was still watching the situation, because he had already sensed the arrival of Shi Xing.

And it was during that collision that he sensed the special power contained in Shu Yan's soul skills, and that power was the power of time.

Shu Yan thought for a moment, then asked softly:
"Master Xuan, to be honest, I don't know why I can control a trace of the power of time, but when Senior Shi Xing took action last time, I did feel a resonance from his soul power."

Xuan Zi couldn't help but frown slightly, but soon, his brows relaxed again, and then he said:

"I once heard a senior from the academy say that the two attributes and powers of space and time are actually closely related and mutually dependent. Without space, the entire world would be an endless void, and in this void, the concept of time does not exist."

"The higher the quality of the martial soul itself, the stronger its attributes. I have already explored it before. Of the two attributes of your martial soul, space is stronger than darkness. This means that the space attribute occupies a dominant position in the soul power in your body."

"And when your mental strength is strong enough, your understanding and control of space will become stronger. In this case, there will be a situation that has a very small possibility but is indeed possible."

Xuan Zi stopped talking here, but his eyes were fixed on Shu Yan, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Shu Yan pondered Xuan Zi's words and remained silent for a while before speaking:

"Master Xuan means that as long as my mental strength is strong enough and my comprehension and control of space reaches a certain peak, I will be able to comprehend the power of time from the power of space and ultimately completely control it?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi glanced at Shu Yan unhappily, and then said:

"This is the most likely scenario for your current situation. Actually, it's very simple to determine whether our hypothesis is correct. Practice diligently, and consult Shi Xing more often. Strive to quickly elevate your understanding and control of spatial power to a higher level. Also, don't forget to prioritize your mental strength..."

"By then, you can see if your understanding and control of the power of time has improved, and then you'll know the final outcome, right?"

Shu Yan nodded without changing his expression, and then said respectfully:

"Thank you, Master Xuan, for your guidance. I understand now."

Xuan Zi glanced towards the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion, then he snorted and spoke again:

"That kid Shixing is here. Go away now. If you have any questions, just ask him. He has a good understanding of this area and is more than capable of teaching you now."

"If you have any problems with your cultivation that you can't solve, you can come to the Sea God Pavilion to find me. For the sake of your grandfather and your father, I will reluctantly answer a few questions for you."

Shu Yan laughed in silence, thanked him again, then stood up and walked out of the Sea God Pavilion. He happened to meet Time Douluo Shi Xing at the gate.

Shi Xing saw Shu Yan walking out of the Poseidon Pavilion, then looked at the brown figure that flashed by in the distance, and roughly guessed what had happened.

He patted Shu Yan's shoulder and then said:
"Old Xuan has a bit of an odd personality, but judging from my last conversation with him, he seems to be very optimistic about you."

Shu Yan nodded. Regardless of his impression of Xuan Zi's personality and reputation, based on their recent conversation, Xuan Zi did indeed have a favorable impression and goodwill towards him. His words had indeed given Shu Yan some inspiration. Overall, as long as he didn't follow Xuan Zi on soul hunting, there would most likely be no trouble. Seeing a hint of thought lingering between Shu Yan's brows, Shi Xing didn't say anything more. He simply raised his hand and gently pressed Shu Yan's shoulder. The next moment, with a flash of silver light, the two figures disappeared in an instant, and when they reappeared, they were already at the shore of Poseidon Lake.

"When I saw you didn't come to see me a few days ago, I thought you had forgotten about this matter. But now that I see your soul power has broken through another level, I guess you haven't wasted the past month or so."

Shi Xing looked at the vast lake in the distance, then chuckled and said.

"Senior, you're joking. It's an honor for me that you're willing to take the time to guide me."

Shu Yan came back to his senses, took a look around and basically confirmed his current location.

On the west bank of Poseidon Lake, most areas here have not yet been developed. It is rarely visited by people and is very quiet and vast, making it very suitable for meditation and understanding.

Shi Xing turned around and glanced at Shu Yan, then said:

"You don't have to call me senior in private. Just call me Uncle Shi. Your father and I were classmates and we have a pretty good relationship."

"Uncle Shi..."

Shu Yan didn't refuse. He had some speculations about the relationship between Shi Xing and his father some time ago, but it was not until Yu Bingyan's letter last time that his speculation was confirmed. It was indeed reasonable for him to call his classmate, who had a good relationship with his father, uncle.

"Okay, let's not waste any more time talking nonsense. Just ask whatever you want to know. As long as it's something I know about, I can answer most of the questions for you."

Shi Xing spoke again, his expression obviously much more serious.

Shu Yan did not hide anything and asked all the doubts and confusions in his heart.

The more Shi Xing listened, the more surprised he became, but then he felt relieved and pleasantly surprised. He answered Shu Yan's questions in an orderly manner according to the order in which he asked them, and even demonstrated it to Shu Yan himself at critical moments.

It has to be said that good teachers and helpful friends are effective partners who can promote people's progress. Under Shi Xing's patient and detailed explanations and teachings, Shu Yan gradually immersed himself in it wholeheartedly. The film that originally shrouded his thoughts was slowly melting away, which made Shu Yan feel quite refreshed as if the clouds had been cleared to see the light of day.

Shi Xing's instruction lasted for nearly four hours, until it was completely dark, and then he got up and left.

Shu Yan sat cross-legged on a huge rock by the lake. Only after he had completely absorbed today's gains and insights did he slowly open his eyes.

Gazing at the setting sun in the distance, Shu Yan gently exhaled, and his thoughts slowly returned to peace. The surroundings were quiet, and only the chirping of insects added a touch of strange color to this quiet world.

Shu Yan lay on his back on the boulder, watching the setting sun slowly being swallowed by the black night, and then watching the stars rise into the night sky. The cold moonlight shone on him, and the mist came with a cool breeze. This woke Shu Yan up from the feeling that his thoughts were completely empty, as if his soul could freely roam between heaven and earth.

After coming back to his senses, Shu Yan looked at the mist that had spread around him and smiled softly. Then, with a flash of silver light on his body, he instantly disappeared from the spot.
