Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 372 Unexpected Encounter with a Titled Evil Soul Master

"Is he planning something against me?" Shi Yu asked.
Orange shook her head, saying apologetically, "I don't know much either. I've only heard rumors that he might be trying to recruit you, and if that fails, he'll try to harm you. As for how he'll do it, I really don't know."

She got along well with Shi Yu and could feel his sincerity; he was willing to treat her as a friend. She didn't want to see this one and only friend of hers being framed, even though he was her savior.
She would repay Xu Tianran, but she wouldn't let him hurt her friends at will.
"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay more attention," Shi Yu said gratefully.
Whether it's true or not, the fact that Orange was willing to tell me these things is a small favor.
"I didn't help much," Orange said apologetically.
"If you encounter any trouble, you should contact the Master of the Red Dust Hall immediately. He seems to value you highly and should be willing to help you."

"I should be able to handle it myself. Even though it's someone else's territory, I won't be able to be manipulated by them," Shi Yu said, sounding somewhat wary but not overly nervous.
King Kong, Little Gold is his source of confidence. At worst, he'll flip the table. Are you afraid of him?
"Are you close to the Crown Prince?" Shi Yu asked casually about the relationship between Ju Zi and Crown Prince Xu Tianran. He knew the answer in his heart, but he still had to ask on the surface.
"I'd say we're fairly familiar," Orange nodded, then added, "But we're not on the same wavelength. I'm just helping him out because of a childhood favor."

She was grateful to Xu Tianran, but also afraid of him. This crown prince was the kind of person who was not easy to get along with, or at least not easy to get along with.
Over the years, she had developed a deep fear of the Crown Prince, always afraid of saying the wrong thing and upsetting him.
"Would it be convenient for you to elaborate?" Shi Yu asked.
After hesitating, Ju Zi shook her head, her mood not very high. This was a sad thing for her and she was not very willing to talk about it.
Shi Yu didn't press the matter and changed the subject to other things.
As they chatted, Ju Zi started to feel sleepy, so Shi Yu told her to go inside and rest. There was no need to wake Ke Ke as well; she seemed to be sleeping quite well, so there was no need to disturb her.
Orange went into the tent to sleep, and Keke didn't get up either. Shi Yu stayed outside alone.
With a thought, he created a spatial domain to cover an area, and then he fell into a peaceful sleep.
"Sorry, I slept too soundly," Keke said to Shi Yu somewhat embarrassedly after waking up in the morning.
"It's nothing," Shi Yu said, not wanting to hold a grudge against her over this.
After the three of them ate some dry rations, they began their search, finally finding a suitable soul beast for Keke just before dusk.
Shi Yu easily subdued him, allowing Ke Ke to kill him with ease and begin absorbing his spirit rings.
The two kept watch nearby when suddenly Shi Yu sensed something and looked in one direction.
"What's wrong?" Ju Zi asked, slightly nervous, noticing the strange look in Shi Yu's eyes.
"It seems there's been a titled battle taking place deep within the Jingyang Mountains," Shi Yu said uncertainly.
He had a vague feeling, but because of the distance, he couldn't make a precise judgment.
"This shouldn't affect us, right?" Orange asked nervously. Keke was absorbing her spirit ring at the moment and couldn't be disturbed, or the consequences would be severe.
"It's hard to say," Shi Yu frowned slightly. He had a bad feeling, which meant that something bad might happen, and it might be related to the battle deep in the Jingyang Mountains.
Orange also became nervous.
Seeing her so nervous, Shi Yu couldn't help but smile and reassure her, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."

The sense of crisis isn't strong, and it's not a major threat.
Hearing Shi Yu's words, Ju Zi felt inexplicably at ease and nodded slightly, "Thank you."

“You stay here, I’ll fly up into the sky and take a look. It’s not good to just passively wait for things to happen,” Shi Yu said, and then he created a spatial realm that enveloped Ju Zi and Ke Ke.
"Stay here and relax. Even if you encounter a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, don't panic. This protective barrier isn't so easily broken."

After saying that, Shi Yu disappeared into the protective barrier. When Ju Zi could see him again, he was already two or three hundred meters away in the air.
Once Shi Yu reached the air, his field of vision suddenly became extremely wide. Looking into the distance, he could vaguely see the energy fluctuations of battle over there.
"It seems to be an evil spirit master," Shi Yu sensed the evil spirit master's aura.
Having mastered some necromancy and fought against evil spirit masters in the era of the first angel god, I am quite sensitive to their aura.
After watching for a while, the Soul Masters on the other side fled towards them, pursued by Soul Beasts.
"Do they really have to run this way to us?" Shi Yu was somewhat speechless; this was probably where the sense of crisis came from.
He glanced down at the ground. If it were just him, he could easily move away, but with Orange and Coco still there, it wouldn't be so easy to move them.
As the enemy drew closer, the evil spirit master's speed increased upon seeing them, as if he had found a savior.
"Brother, quickly help me deal with these beasts!" the disheveled evil spirit master shouted, acting as if he were very familiar with Shi Yu.
Shi Yu's eyes turned cold; this person was trying to drag him down with them.
The three soul beasts chasing him were all quite intelligent and could understand some of what he was saying. After learning that he had accomplices, they all looked at Shi Yu with hostility.
These three soul beasts are all flying soul beasts, so it would be easy for them to attack Shi Yu when he is in the air.
"I'm not familiar with him, but I can help you take care of him." Shi Yu didn't care whether these soul beasts could understand him or not; he had made his stance clear, and naturally, he wouldn't be used by these soul masters.
The evil spirit master's face turned cold, and his speed suddenly increased. He didn't mind killing Shi Yu as well.
He possessed nine spirit rings and was a Title Douluo-level evil spirit master. Although he had only recently advanced, he was still extremely powerful and exerted a sense of pressure on Shi Yu.
If the opponent were in excellent condition, Shi Yu would be more wary, but his condition was clearly not very good, so he wasn't that difficult to deal with.
Seeing the opponent charging towards him, Shi Yu feigned panic and acted as if he wasn't very strong.
A hint of mockery flashed in the evil spirit master's eyes. With such audacity and strength, he dared to claim he could defeat him alongside a spirit beast?
"Where did this idiot come from?" This evil spirit master was ferocious and violent, and with his attack, he stirred up black mist, intending to devour and kill Shi Yu directly.
"Ah!" the orange below exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.
Shi Yu took a step forward, teleported away, and reappeared behind the evil soul master.
The Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone had already been released behind him. The eight evolved spider legs stabbed fiercely into the evil soul master's back, their tips carrying a chilling killing intent.
When he made his move, Shi Yu used his time manipulation ability to slow down the evil soul master's reactions.
They even used the Killing God Domain to weaken its state and amplify their own, making the Eight Spider Lances' attack even more terrifying.
The evil soul master realized something was wrong the moment Shi Yu disappeared, but it was already too late. He had severely underestimated this person who only possessed the strength of a Soul Emperor.
A wave of regret washed over him, making him want to slap himself twice.
