Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor?

Chapter 188: Black Book Space, Time Acceleration

Three days later, the Imperial Palace

Xu Jing lay on the bed, with two attendants guarding by his side.

The two of them looked at the unconscious Xu Jing and couldn't help but sigh.

One of them even subconsciously reached out and touched the five-pointed star mark on his forehead, his face pale and filled with despair.

This five-pointed star was not a good thing; it was the master-servant contract planted by Wang Chen, the most overbearing type of soul contract.

With just a thought, Wang Chen, their master, could make them lose control of themselves, leaving them at his mercy and completely obedient.

It could be said that from now on, although their hearts were with Xu Jing, their bodies were loyal to Wang Chen.

Not just them, but other Nine-level Soul Guidance who were unwilling to surrender, including Xu Jing, were also planted with the master-servant contract, becoming Wang Chen's tools from then on, unable to control their own life or death.

Just as the two attendants were sighing and filled with despair.

Xu Jing, lying on the bed, his eyelids trembled slightly.

The two attendants also keenly noticed this situation and showed joy.

"Your Majesty is awake!"

"Shh, quiet down, don't startle Your Majesty."

A moment later, Xu Jing slowly opened his eyes, looking at the familiar palace dome, his expression somewhat dazed.

Then, Xu Jing said in a hoarse, slightly confused voice, "So it was just a dream.

That's right, only in a dream could someone suppress all the top powerhouses of the Sun Moon Empire, as well as the combined forces of the Five Great Protector Soul Instructor Regiments and the Mingdu defense system, with his strength alone.

It seems I am truly old to have such an unrealistic dream. How could such a person exist on the Continent? If he really did, he wouldn't be human."

The reason Xu Jing considered the events of three days prior a dream was because he was still alive.

In Xu Jing's view, if that wasn't a dream, he would have surely been killed by that traitor Wang Chen by now. How could he possibly be lying safely on the bed?

"Your Majesty..." The two attendants heard what Xu Jing said and couldn't help but hesitate, their hearts filled with sorrow. They wanted to say something but couldn't bear to say it.

Xu Jing's voice was weak but carried the Emperor's majesty, "Help me up."

The two attendants quickly stepped forward to assist, helping Xu Jing up.

Seeing the two attendants hesitating to speak, Xu Jing asked, "How long have I slept? Did any major events occur in the Sun Moon Empire while I was sleeping?"

The two attendants stammered, truly not knowing how to speak.

Explaining the truth, they feared upsetting Your Majesty; not speaking, Your Majesty would likely be displeased. This truly put them in a difficult position.

Seeing the two attendants stammering and not speaking, Xu Jing couldn't help but frown and say, "You two have been with me for so long, what is there that you can't say?"

Xu Jing's words were not false; the two attendants were personally trained by Xu Jing and had been inseparable from him since he was a young prince.

Their relationship was closer than that with sons, daughters, or concubines, and his trust in them far surpassed that in others.

The two attendants looked at Xu Jing and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Your Majesty!" One of the attendants suddenly knelt down, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground, his voice trembling.

"It's not a dream, it's all true. Three days ago, that traitor Wang Chen rebelled. He suppressed all the top powerhouses of the Sun Moon Empire with his strength alone.

Now he has gained the submission of most of the Sun Moon Empire's high-ranking officials and controls the entire Sun Moon Empire."

When Xu Jing heard the attendant's words, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his ears ringing, his pupils suddenly contracting, and his thin fingers gripping the brocade quilt tightly.

'It's true, it's all true, not a dream! That scoundrel Wang Chen actually rebelled!'

'I treated him well, yet he rebelled against me!!'

Seeing Xu Jing's angry appearance, the two attendants immediately comforted him, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. Do not be angry for that traitor Wang Chen."

"Your Majesty, one day, the Sun Moon Empire will surely return to the hands of the Imperial Family. This is only temporary."

...

The two attendants were now afraid that Xu Jing would lose hope and faint from anger again.

Xu Jing looked at the attendants with concerned expressions, waved his hand, and his face returned to calmness.

As the Emperor, Xu Jing's will was very resilient. He had previously fainted from anger only because the shock of personally witnessing his formerly loyal subjects turn around and fawn over Wang Chen was too great, which caused him to collapse.

Now, without witnessing it firsthand, the stimulus was not enough, so he naturally wouldn't faint from anger.

Xu Jing suddenly threw off the brocade quilt and stepped barefoot onto the cold floor tiles.

He walked towards the window with a hunched back. Outside the window, the setting sun stained the entire Mingdu blood-red.

"Tell me in detail." Xu Jing's voice was unusually calm, as if he was discussing today's dinner, "Start from after I fainted."

The attendant swallowed, "After Your Majesty fainted, pressured by the powerful strength of that traitor Wang Chen, most of the Sun Moon Empire's high-level powerhouses submitted to him.

Anyone who did not submit immediately was branded with a five-pointed star mark by that traitor Wang Chen, becoming controlled by Wang Chen, unable to control their own life or death."

While speaking, the attendant pointed to the five-pointed star mark on his forehead.

"Subsequently, Wang Chen seized Your Majesty's high-energy compression array spirit tool controller and took control of the entire Mingdu's defense system."

Then, Wang Chen supported an Imperial Family relative to ascend the throne and become Emperor.

He appointed Mingde Hall Hall Master Jing Hongchen and several other Nine-level Soul Guidance as regents, taking charge of all aspects of the Sun Moon Empire's power.

Then, Wang Chen ordered the collection of provisions and the mobilization of troops... preparing to attack the Douluo Three Kingdoms and unify the World one month later."

After listening to the attendant's words, Xu Jing's face was ashen, and then he quickly walked to the mirror.

When he saw the five-pointed star mark on his forehead in the mirror, Xu Jing's expression suddenly changed.

He immediately tried to use his mental force to remove it, but it had no effect. The five-pointed star shone brightly, as if silently mocking him.

Xu Jing's face was ashen, and despair enveloped his heart.

At this moment, he had completely given up the idea of contending for power with Wang Chen, not to mention Wang Chen's strength.

Just the fact that the Sun Moon Empire's high-level powerhouses had either submitted to Wang Chen or become his puppets, and he himself was also like this, how could he break free?

After all, with his life and death in Wang Chen's hands, how could he still contend with Wang Chen?

"Hahaha, hahaha."

Xu Jing laughed uproariously towards the sky, his voice hoarse like a crow's caw.

"Wang Chen, you seized my Sun Moon Empire, why didn't you kill me, why didn't you kill me!"

"I know now, you, the victor, want to watch me, the loser, be ridiculed! You want me to personally witness you conquering the Douluo Three Kingdoms and unifying the World, to satisfy your desire for conquest!"

The two attendants looked at the deranged Xu Jing, tears streaming down their faces. In the face of Wang Chen's god-like power, who could not feel despair?

...

Meanwhile, at the Wang Family.

Wang Chen was currently sitting cross-legged, his entire being entering the Black Book's space to cultivate.

You heard right, he entered the Black Book with his entire being, not just his consciousness as before.

After Wang Chen took control of the Sun Moon Empire, the Black Book was repaired further. In this repair, a space within the Black Book itself was restored.

This space was extremely vast. Wang Chen could enter and exit freely, and could also bring people and objects in and out.

As the master of the Black Book, Wang Chen could also expel people and objects from the space, and once inside, people outside could not attack Wang Chen through the Black Book space.

It could be said that the space within the Black Book was an absolutely safe sanctuary. At least, in the World of Douluo Continent, no one could break through it.

Furthermore, by consuming mental force, the time within the Black Book space could be accelerated.

Achieving one day outside being ten days, one month, or even longer within the Black Book space!
