Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 90 Seeds of Time

They couldn't afford to lose any more matches in the semifinals. Losing even one match would mean losing their chance to continue the competition. So even though they knew Lin Yun was the strongest among the freshmen, Zhou Sichen and the other two had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Zhou Sichen, Class 9, Freshmen." Zhou Sichen stretched out his right hand, and a treasure book appeared on his body. Two hundred-year soul rings appeared under his feet and lit up at the same time.

With Lin Yun's keen eyesight, he could clearly see that when Zhou Sichen released his soul skill, the book in his hand had two pages turned open, each depicting a golden bear and a tiger emitting flames.

The two soul beasts corresponding to the pages of the manual also emerged from the light and stood guard beside Zhou Sichen.

"Class 9, freshmen, Cao Jinxuan." An arched clock appeared above his head, and two century-old soul rings lit up on his body.

"Class 9, freshmen, Long Xiangyue." This handsome young man pulled out a huge boomerang, and two hundred-year soul rings also appeared on his body.

I wonder if his boomerang will fly back and hit him between the eyebrows after he throws it.

A Great Soul Master with three hundred-year-old Soul Rings, and his Martial Soul configuration is also extremely good.

Lin Yun glanced at Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue and then stopped paying attention. Cao Jinxuan's Time Flies sounded impressive, but his actual performance was terrible. He couldn't withstand the backlash from manipulating time at all, and his soul skill only stopped the flow of time on a certain person.

Even so, he would still suffer a great backlash. Bleeding from his mouth and nose would be the least of his worries. If he were to control Lin Yun, he would probably die before Lin Yun was even controlled, even before he could release his soul skill.

As for Long Xiangyue, his boomerang-like martial spirit is really not worth paying attention to.

Lin Yun looked at Zhou Sichen and suddenly laughed: "Dude, you can control soul beasts in battle too? What a coincidence, me too. Want to have a match?"

After saying that, Lin Yun reached into his clothes and, under Zhou Sichen's dumbfounded gaze, pulled out a bluish-green scorpion.

The moment Qing'er appeared, the two soul beasts that Zhou Sichen had summoned immediately wilted.

The golden giant bear had shrunk in size and lay trembling on the ground. The fire tiger was in even worse shape; all the flames on its body had been extinguished. Compared to its previous majestic appearance, it now looked like a sick cat.

Even Zhou Sichen, who summoned them, was greatly suppressed. If he hadn't decisively reached out and put his hand on Cao Jinxuan's shoulder, he suspected that his legs would have given way and he would have fallen to the floor.

"A real...real soul beast?" Zhou Sichen's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

This intensely oppressive aura, this feeling of facing death head-on, is something that any Soul Master who has ever confronted a Soul Beast will never forget.

It's just that Qing'er's aura of a soul beast is many times stronger.

"Yes, this is my little darling, her name is Qing'er." Lin Yun reached out and touched Qing'er's shell, and Qing'er interacted with Lin Yun affectionately with her little pincers.

Zhou Sichen and the other two were petrified.

The referee was stunned.

Yan Shaozhe, who was watching from the shadows, shook his head helplessly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Teacher, is this kind of operation allowed?" Cao Jinxuan, supporting his weak-legged best friend Zhou Sichen with one hand and pointing to Qing'er in Lin Yun's hand with the other, asked the referee.

"Huh? Uh... Ah, this..." The referee was sweating profusely and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Fortunately, Yan Shaozhe came to his rescue at this moment. A voice transmission rang in his ear, and the referee teacher felt a chill run down his spine, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem, just like your martial soul can summon soul beasts to fight, the freshman assessment only stipulates that you are not allowed to use soul tools in battle. Like him, using your martial soul to tame a soul beast and then letting the soul beast assist the soul master in battle is not considered a violation." The referee teacher embellished Yan Shaozhe's words and then spoke.

"Any other questions?" "Uh, no...nothing else..." Zhou Sichen and the other two stiffly turned their heads to look at Lin Yun, who had a big, benevolent smile on his face.

"That's fine, let's continue the game!" the referee said quickly.

"Qing'er, use the Ice King's Wrath!" Lin Yun said with a smile.

Seeing the sudden burst of emerald green light emanating from Bingbi Xie Qing'er's body, Zhou Sichen grabbed Cao Jinxuan.

"Old Cao! The situation is urgent! Quickly use your invincible Time Flies ability to think of a solution!"

"?"

Cao Jinxuan rolled his eyes in annoyance, his expression instantly turning serious. The Time-Fleeting Bell, which had been hovering above his head, landed in his palm, and the two soul rings that had been hovering around him were also attached to the Time-Fleeting Bell, lighting up simultaneously.

"Time stands still—"

Smash, Valudo!!!

Ding!

The hands of the clock, which had been swinging, suddenly stopped, and a strange fluctuation descended upon Lin Yun.

Qing'er simply flicked her tail hook, and the effect of time control was completely broken. Cao Jinxuan also suffered the backlash of the soul skill, and a large amount of blood spurted from his mouth and nose.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Jinxuan's eyes widened, staring intently at Lin Yun, and he pointed a trembling finger at him.

"you……"

Click... Click...

A crack instantly appeared on the Time Clock, and the two century-old soul rings on the clock shattered instantly. The soul power fluctuations belonging to a soul master on Cao Jinxuan's body also disappeared without a trace, and he fainted as soon as his eyelids rolled back.

"Old Cao!!!" Zhou Sichen panicked immediately, supporting Cao Jinxuan's body and calling out to him in fear.

the other side.

Lin Yun could have easily broken free from the so-called time stagnation like Qing'er, but this strange time fluctuation seemed to have triggered some hidden power within him, almost instantly putting him into a state of enlightenment.

Lin Yun himself couldn't remember how long the epiphany lasted.

He only remembered that he seemed to be swimming merrily on a long, luminous river, and the entire river seemed to be welcoming him; he knew nothing else.

This enlightenment exceeded the upper limit of Lin Yun's strength. It was related to the power of time, which was something that a mere Soul Venerable like him could not digest. However, this enlightenment also brought him considerable benefits, even great benefits.

This is a seed, a seed destined to grow into a towering tree in the future.

Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes. In the outside world, after he was controlled, he only closed his eyes and stood still for three seconds. But in Lin Yun's time, he had been immersed in that long river for an unknown amount of time.

As for Qing'er in his hands, after realizing that Lin Yun seemed to be in a special state, she stopped releasing the Ice King's Wrath and instead protected him.

"...What happened to him?" Lin Yun looked at the unconscious Cao Jinxuan with a blank expression.
