Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 369 Ji Juechen's Challenge
The time that Shi Yu wants to rewind to is not his own, but the time of a certain area around him.
His skill can be applied to himself, allowing him to travel back ten seconds into the past.
It can also be applied to a certain area or a specific person, allowing them to return to the past five seconds. This is half the time they would otherwise have to rewind themselves, but its value is still immense.
At this moment, Shi Yu used the Time Reversal skill on a specific area, causing everyone in that area to return to the past five seconds.
The shouts are fading away; the actions and expressions of these people are all regressing.
Their time was rewound two seconds, which was enough for Shi Yu.
Two seconds ago, they hadn't noticed anything unusual, and no one had made a sound.
Shi Yu's timing was normal. He appeared outside and then disappeared into the space, silently returning the way he came.
The people here thought everything was normal, and those a little further away didn't hear anything unusual either.
For them, it was just another normal night, and nothing unusual happened.
However, in reality, Shi Yu entered their warehouse and ransacked it, taking away soul tools worth more than one billion gold soul coins, an amount that is undeniably staggering.
Shi Yu left Mingde Hall and returned to his room in the blink of an eye.
"This is quite exciting," Shi Yu said as he lay on the bed, his tense nerves relaxing, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
This trip to Mingde Hall not only yielded a wealth of information, but also resulted in the removal of numerous soul tools from the underground warehouse, making it a very fruitful endeavor.
It's a bit of a regret that we didn't take the Snow Empress embryo with us, and also because of our limited soul power, we couldn't find the warehouse that contained a large number of level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.
Because of the interference from many soul tools in the space, his energy expenditure inside was greater than usual, and his soul power was almost depleted. If he stayed any longer, he would be exposed.
The following day, Shi Yu went to the Sun Moon Royal Academy to study under Jing Hongchen as usual.
He showed no abnormality, and Jing Hongchen remained unchanged. For Jing Hongchen, last night was truly a normal and peaceful night. For Shi Yu, however, it was not peaceful at all; he was merely pretending to be calm.
Around noon, Shi Yu went to the cafeteria at the Sun Moon Royal Academy for lunch. On the way, he heard a familiar voice and turned around to see Ju Zi greeting him.
Shi Yu smiled slightly and waited for Ju Zi to come over. She was also going to the cafeteria, so the two of them could go together.
"Isn't your best friend Keke with you?" Shi Yu asked casually. Keke and Ju Zi were usually inseparable.
"She's taken the past two days off to focus on her cultivation in her dorm, preparing to break through to the Soul Master level," Orange said with a smile.
"I see," Shi Yu nodded slightly, naturally changing the subject.
"By the way, are you free in a few days?" Orange asked.
"What's wrong?" Shi Yu asked.
Orange: "It's like this, after Keke breaks through, she needs to obtain a spirit ring. It's too risky for the two of us to do it alone, so I was wondering if I could ask you for help."

"Doesn't the school offer a spirit ring acquisition service?" Shi Yu asked.
Good Soul Master academies will provide Soul Ring acquisition services for their students. For a small fee, you can hire a Soul Master from the academy to help you acquire a Soul Ring.
Just like how he initially obtained his spirit ring at Shrek Academy, he was just lucky enough to encounter a space-type spirit master who was captured, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"Yes, we do have someone, but we thought it would be better to ask someone we know. And among the people we know, you are the most likely to be able to help us, so..."

"If you don't have time, that's fine. We can ask a teacher for help," Orange said.
The atmosphere of acquiring a spirit ring with a teacher is definitely different from that of acquiring one with friends.
"If it's Saturday or Sunday, there shouldn't be much of a problem," Shi Yu said.
He spends his Saturdays and Sundays resting, either cultivating in his room or simply strolling around Mingdu, so he has relatively free time.
Going with them to help obtain spirit rings wasn't too strenuous, so he didn't mind helping out; he could treat it as a trip to the Spirit Beast Forest.
"That's great!" Orange exclaimed happily.
The two went to the cafeteria for a meal together, which still attracted a lot of attention, mainly to Shi Yu.
Shi Yu is quite well-known within the Sun Moon Royal Academy, and people often give him a second glance when they see him, which Shi Yu is used to.
I want to have a match with you.

Shi Yu and Ju Zi were eating together, chatting casually, when suddenly a male voice rang in their ears.
Shi Yu turned his head and saw a tall, handsome man holding an iron sword.
Beside him was a woman of average appearance, both around twenty years old; they were likely together.
Shi Yu glanced at the iron sword in the man's hand a few more times; this combination reminded him of two people from the original story.
"We're eating right now, isn't it inappropriate for you to challenge us like this?" Orange said.
Ji Juechen ignored Ju Zi and only looked at Shi Yu, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
The opponent's fighting spirit made Shi Yu even more certain of their identity, and he couldn't help but become interested.
He chuckled and said, "Okay, but you'll have to wait until I finish eating."

"Okay," Ji Juechen said, already looking forward to it, and casually sat down in a nearby seat to wait.
"You agreed to it without knowing his abilities? Isn't that a bit too hasty?" Orange asked with a smile.
There's no worry that Shi Yu will lose. It's said that he was able to defeat the Soul Emperor in the Soul Master Competition more than a year ago, and he's only stronger now, so he probably won't lose to this person.
"Sparring doesn't necessarily mean winning. If someone challenges me and I'm interested in fighting them, I can naturally accept. It's okay even if I lose," Shi Yu explained casually.
There was something else he wanted to say, but he didn't believe he would lose; he was confident of victory. However, it wasn't easy to say it aloud, especially with Ji Juechen standing beside him. Wouldn't saying it like that be provoking him?
He just wanted to exchange a few blows with the other person; he had no other intentions and there was no need to provoke him.
Sitting next to him, Ji Juechen's eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze towards Shi Yu changed somewhat.
After finishing their meal, Shi Yu followed Ji Juechen to the area where they could fight.
Many people followed them, eager to witness Shi Yu's personal strength.
They were actually very curious about Shi Yu's strength and had doubts about his performance in the Soul Master Academy Tournament. They wanted to test him, but because of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, they didn't dare to provoke Shi Yu casually.
