Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 373 Killing the Title-Bearer, Xu Tianran's Visit

Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone pierced into the evil soul master's body. The master was basically unprepared and could not withstand the sharp Eight Spider Lances at all.
"Ah!" the evil spirit master screamed, trying to unleash his power to kill the person.
The weakness in his body slowed his movements by a fraction, followed by a chill on his neck.
Shi Yu unleashed his dark gold claws, mercilessly piercing the evil soul master's neck, causing him to spurt blood and his gathered aura to rapidly dissipate.
"How is this possible?" the evil spirit master uttered weakly, incredulous.
"Underestimating the enemy and being careless will come at a price," Shi Yu said indifferently, mobilizing the power of the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone to continuously drain the evil soul master's life force.
The person's body was shriveling at a rate visible to the naked eye.
He was already dead and powerless to resist. Shi Yu easily devoured his blood essence with the devouring power of the Eight Spider Spears, without any hindrance.
A soul beast attacked, forcing Shi Yu to teleport and dodge.
The three spirit beasts surrounded him, launching a fierce attack.
Shi Yu initially focused on dodging, and only began to fight the three soul beasts after he had drained the evil soul master's life energy.
He teleported onto the back of a soul beast and stabbed the Eight Spider Lances soul bone deep into its body.
The soul beast let out a miserable cry and twisted violently, trying to throw Shi Yu away.
Shi Yu did not linger on the soul beast. After injecting some poison, he teleported away and appeared on the back of another soul beast. He then used the same trick to inject poison into it as well.
These soul beasts were provoked by Shi Yu and became extremely agitated, gathering together to fight against him.
This didn't mean much to Shi Yu; his agile movement made him virtually invincible against opponents whose strength wasn't too far apart.
He could easily kill these soul beasts with his teleportation ability and the poison from the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone.
After a struggle of more than ten minutes, the three soul beasts fled in a sorry state, some even staggering as they flew, clearly affected by the poison of Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances.
Shi Yu watched the three soul beasts leave. They probably didn't have much time left, as the toxins accumulated in their bodies from the Eight Spider Lances had reached a lethal level.
After withdrawing his gaze, a single thought landed on the ground, canceling the boundary space. Orange stared blankly at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shi Yu waved his hand in front of Ju Zi's eyes and said with a light laugh.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Ju Zi exclaimed. She had just witnessed Shi Yu instantly kill a Title Douluo.
She seriously doubted she was seeing things; this seemed a bit exaggerated.
"He just made a foolish mistake, underestimating my strength and lacking the necessary precautions. If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have been killed by him, but killing him wouldn't have been so easy either," Shi Yu said.
He had caught his opponent off guard, and without knowing his abilities, it was easy to suffer losses in a fight against him.
"That's still amazing," Orange said.
Shi Yu smiled but remained silent.
The two chatted casually for nearly three hours before Keke finished absorbing the nutrients.
Overjoyed at successfully advancing to the Soul Master level, Ke Ke shared her achievements before anyone could even ask.
Shi Yu and Ju Zi were both quite supportive.
After chatting for a while, Shi Yu led them away from the Jingyang Mountains and returned to Mingdu in less than ten minutes.
Two weeks of peaceful days passed. On this day, Shi Yu came to the studio as usual. In addition to seeing Jing Hongchen, she also saw several other people, one of whom was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Xu Tianran?" Shi Yu asked, his voice filled with doubt, though he had a rough idea of ​​who the other person was.
There may be many people in the Sun Moon Empire who are in wheelchairs, but the only one who could possibly come here is probably Crown Prince Xu Tianran.
Before he came in, Jing Hongchen was chatting idly with Xu Tianran. As soon as he entered, they stopped talking and looked at him simultaneously.
"Let me introduce you. This is Shi Yu, an exchange student from Shrek Academy."

Jing Hongchen walked over to Shi Yu and introduced him to Xu Tianran.
"This is Xu Tianran, the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire. He came to visit suddenly today, saying he has something to discuss with you," Jing Hongchen said to Shi Yu, explaining that the man's arrival had nothing to do with him, and he was also surprised to see Xu Tianran.
He had never really liked associating with these royal princes and didn't want to get involved in the royal power struggles.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?" Shi Yu asked rather directly, without kneeling down or anything like that. He wasn't a member of the Sun Moon Empire, so there was no need for him to be so obsequious.
Xu Tianran sized Shi Yu up and down, then gave what he thought was a friendly smile: "I've heard about some of your extraordinary qualities and, out of curiosity, wanted to come and make your acquaintance."

"I will be hosting a tea party at my residence in a couple of days, and I would greatly appreciate your presence."

A maidservant beside him took out an invitation and handed it over; it was quite formal.
Jing Hongchen frowned slightly; Xu Tianran's attempt to win him over was quite strong.
Shi Yu accepted the invitation with a smile, without opening it, and simply said, "I cannot refuse His Highness the Crown Prince's invitation."

"If I have time that day, I will definitely go. However, my research and studies with Master Hongchen have reached a critical point recently, so I may not have much time and cannot guarantee that I will be able to go."

"You can come whenever you have time; my residence is always open to your arrival."

"You can keep this token safe. With this token, you can enter my residence directly whenever you want, and you can also mobilize some of the manpower in my residence." Xu Tianran personally handed over a token.
"This is inconvenient. If my teacher finds this, he'll probably break my legs."

"That Elder Xuan from our academy is strong but has a bad temper. I'm really scared. Your Highness, you probably don't want me to get my leg broken, do you?" Shi Yu said, trying to deflect the question.
Taking an invitation is fine, but you can't accept tokens.
"It can't be that bad," Xu Tianran said with a smile.
“Your Highness, you haven’t met Elder Xuan from our academy. If you don’t believe me, go and meet him for yourself,” Shi Yu said.
“He won’t know if I accept it quietly,” Xu Tianran said.
Shi Yu shook her head again, her refusal firm.
Xu Tianran had no choice but to put away the token.
He wanted to talk more, but Shi Yu wasn't very talkative, so Xu Tianran had to leave early.
"Try to have as little contact with him as possible," Jing Hongchen reminded him after Xu Tianran left.
Shi Yu looked at Jing Hongchen in surprise and smiled, "Sect Master Hongchen, if Xu Tianran could win me over to the Sun Moon Empire, wouldn't that be a good thing for the Sun Moon Empire?"

"Would you be recruited by him?" Jing Hongchen asked Shi Yu.
"Who can say for sure?" Shi Yu did not answer directly.
“I feel like you two could never be together,” Jing Hongchen said with certainty.
