Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 371 Orange's reminder came from Xu Tianran's malice.
Shi Yu smiled without saying a word, but simply extended her hand.
Orange placed her hand on it with some skepticism, thinking that a brief touch wouldn't hurt.
Keke placed it on the table without hesitation, showing some anticipation for the speed Shi Yu had mentioned.
Then they experienced what speed truly meant; everything was flashing before their eyes, making them feel like their vision was being dazzled.
A few minutes later, the flickering stopped, and what I saw before me was a somewhat familiar mountain range, the Jingyang Mountains.
Both women checked the time and, after confirming that only a few minutes had passed, their expressions were one of utter shock.
"That's way too fast!" Keke exclaimed.
Ju Zi looked at Shi Yu with admiration, her eyes sparkling with a hint of envy. His abilities were truly impressive.
"Let's go, let's see how your luck is," Shi Yu said with a light laugh.
The three of them entered the Jingyang Mountain Range area together.
After searching for several hours without finding a suitable spirit ring for Keke, they found a place to rest.
Shi Yu was in charge of setting up the tent, while Ju Zi and Ke Ke were processing the soul beast meat. After cleaning it, they set it up to roast.
Orange seemed to be quite skilled at controlling the heat.
"Try it," Ju Zi said, cutting off a piece of flesh for Shi Yu so he could taste it first.
Shi Yu took the orange, and without worrying about the heat, ate it directly. Her eyes brightened slightly, and she gave the orange a thumbs up: "Very delicious!"

This isn't flattery; it's just that Ju Zi's cooking skills are truly impressive, and the result is delicious.
A smile appeared on Orange's face.
"I want to eat! I want to eat!" Keke exclaimed impatiently, her mouth already watering.
The oranges were distributed, and the nearly 100 pounds of soul beast meat was enough for them to eat as much as they wanted.
"It seems like a spirit beast is approaching," both Orange and Coco became alert.
A spirit beast was seen slowly approaching from one direction, possibly mistaking them for prey.
Shi Yu had already noticed this, but he wasn't nervous. This soul beast wasn't very strong and wasn't enough to threaten them.
As the soul beast approached, Ju Zi and Ke Ke were both very nervous. Shi Yu also slapped the soul beast from a distance, sending it flying.
The soul beast that had been smashed to the ground got up again and fled in terror, no longer daring to stay there.
"So cool!" Keke imitated Shi Yu's light and effortless palm strike, but she couldn't match Shi Yu's power.
The way they so casually drove away a thousand-year-old soul beast still shocked them quite a bit.
They also feel safer, as having such a capable helper greatly ensures their safety in the Jingyang Mountains.
"Shi Yu, how strong are you?" Ju Zi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"You don't have to say if you don't want to. My question was a bit presumptuous, but I was just really curious and couldn't help asking."

"I'm curious too," Keke said, looking at Shi Yu with curiosity.
"Not that strong, probably not strong enough to beat a Title Douluo," Shi Yu said vaguely.
He himself didn't really have a clear idea of ​​how strong he was, and he had never truly gone all out.
His all-out attack involved using every means at his disposal, including his Dragon Claw technique; he had never fought like this before.
The opponents he encounters are either too weak to warrant his full effort, or too strong for him to handle.
Sometimes, finding a suitable opponent is quite rare.
"If you can't beat a Title Douluo, then can a Soul Douluo win?" Orange asked further.
Shi Yu didn't answer, but simply ate a piece of grilled meat.
Ju Zi had already gotten the answer and gave Shi Yu a thumbs up. She was truly impressed; a Soul Emperor defeating a Soul Douluo was something she had never dared to dream of before.
"You two go sleep in the tent, I'll keep watch," Shi Yu said to the two of them after they finished eating and chatted for a while.
"Let's take turns keeping you company. After all, we asked for your help, and it wouldn't be right to trouble you completely," Orange said.
Shi Yu didn't object. Since they were willing, they were willing too. It wouldn't hurt to have someone to chat with for a while.
Keke went to sleep first, while Ju Zi and Shi Yu stayed outside, both wearing thick clothes, as it was quite cold in the mountains at night.
Shi Yu wasn't actually afraid of the cold; she put on her clothes mainly to avoid getting them wet from the damp air.
Ju Zi and Shi Yu chatted casually about a wide range of topics, mostly trivial matters.
"The Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire has been watching you for a long time. He might come to contact you in the near future. You should be wary of him," Orange suddenly said after the topic ended.
Shi Yu turned his head to look at Ju Zi, and he knew very well who this Crown Prince was: Xu Tianran.
Ju Zi looked at Shi Yu, thinking he didn't believe her, and said, "I didn't lie to you."

"I've had some contact with this crown prince and know his character well, so I thought I'd give him a heads-up to avoid being used by him."

"What can he use me for?" Shi Yu asked with a light laugh, genuinely curious.
If the other party tries to win me over, I can simply refuse. There's no need to cater to their feelings just because they're the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire; I don't need to depend on them for anything.
"Your talent alone makes you worth recruiting, and you also have Shrek Academy backing you."

"The Sun Moon Empire has been trying to win over this academy, but Shrek Academy's stance is clear: they support the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent and are not on good terms with the Sun Moon Empire."

"The agreement to exchange students with the Sun Moon Empire this time is simply a mutually beneficial arrangement."

However, this did not dampen the Sun Moon Empire's enthusiasm for courting Shrek Academy.

"Being able to bring Shrek Academy to the side of the Sun Moon Empire would be an absolute great achievement."

"If the Crown Prince can do that, his ascension to the throne will almost certainly be a done deal."

"Therefore, he will definitely try to win over Shrek Academy. Even if he can't truly win them over, he will try to do things that make the original Douluo Three Kingdoms misunderstand Shrek Academy."

"I've heard that among the people from Shrek Academy this time are several core figures from the academy. These people have been staying within the Sun Moon Empire, which could give the Crown Prince a lot to work with."

"And these key figures seem to have come to the Sun Moon Empire because of you, right?" Orange said slowly.
Shi Yu listened attentively, trying to understand, and roughly grasped what Ju Zi was trying to express.
Xu Tianran probably wanted to spread some rumors that Shrek Academy's higher-ups were discussing other collaborations with the Sun and Moon Royal Family in Mingdu.
The impact of spreading such rumors is quite significant.
If something else were to happen, such as Shrek Academy making some compromises with the Sun Moon Empire, it would only raise more suspicions.
What can be done to get Shrek Academy to compromise with the Sun Moon Empire?
If he were Xu Tianran, he would probably start with the point that Shrek Academy's higher-ups care about, which is himself.
