Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 397 Affection, Crushing Soul Bones to Repair Them
Jiang Nannan nodded happily and took the initiative to sit down next to Shi Yu.

After learning that it was Shi Yu, she took the initiative to get closer to him. She hadn't seen Shi Yu for a long time and missed him quite a bit.

Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao both stopped and walked over.

"Is your exchange program at the Sun Moon Royal Academy going smoothly?" Zhang Lexuan asked with concern as she approached.

"You don't look too well," Ma Xiaotao said.

Shi Yu had just returned from his time travel, and his injuries from the previous battle had not yet healed, so his complexion was naturally not very good.

Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan also noticed this and couldn't help but frown.

"My time at the Sun and Moon Royal Academy was pretty good, and there wasn't much danger."

"The reason you look unwell is because you encountered some trouble while running errands," Shi Yu explained.

It was emphasized that this had nothing to do with the Sun and Moon Royal Academy; it truly had absolutely nothing to do with them.

I have no grudge against them, and I even owe them a little something, so I wouldn't want to smear them indiscriminately.

Jiang Nannan and the others asked him with concern what had happened. Given his speed, he shouldn't have been injured even if he wasn't a match for someone else.

Shi Yu shook his head, not wanting to say more, nor was it appropriate to say more.

After agreeing to have dinner with the three of them, he went to the Sea God Pavilion to find his teacher, Mu En.

Having come back, I naturally needed to inform my teacher, Moon.

"How did you get hurt?"

The first thing Mu En noticed when he saw Shi Yu was that he didn't seem to be in good condition, so he asked him with concern.

Shi Yu explained again, but still refused to elaborate on the details.

Mu En didn't press the matter, but simply said, "If it was someone from the Sun Moon Royal Academy who attacked you, you don't need to hide it out of fear."

"Although I am old, I am not incapable of wielding a sword. You are my disciple, and it won't be so easy for me to bully you."

"No, it's really not," Shi Yu said with a light laugh, taking the initiative to change the subject.

“I’ve tried to infiltrate Mingde Hall and I’m confident I can bring back some important soul tool technology,” Shi Yu said.

"Just do your best, but safety should always be the top priority," Moon instructed.

Although he wanted the soul tool technology from the Sun Moon Empire, he also cared a lot about his disciple.

Shi Yu nodded slightly, chatted with Mu En for a while, and then left.

In the evening, Shi Yu, Jiang Nannan, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao went out for dinner and chatted casually.

They shared their recent experiences, creating a harmonious and cheerful atmosphere.

After the meal, Ma Xiaotao, who didn't really enjoy shopping, went back to the college first.

Jiang Nannan was quite cheerful and took Shi Yu's hand as they walked down the street.

Shi Yu hadn't expected Jiang Nannan to become so proactive, so he didn't actively shake off her hand.

Zhang Lexuan followed along somewhat sullenly, her gaze frequently falling on Jiang Nannan and Shi Yu's clasped hands. Her brows often furrowed, and for some reason, she felt rather uncomfortable.

"Sister Lexuan, if you're feeling bored, why don't you go back to the academy first?" Jiang Nannan said to Zhang Lexuan.

"I think it's alright, not boring at all," Zhang Lexuan said with a forced smile.

Shi Yu looked at Zhang Lexuan, who met his gaze, smiled, and then looked away.

Shi Yu glanced at Jiang Nannan holding his hand, then at Zhang Lexuan, and vaguely understood something. He didn't know what to say at this moment. He couldn't very well say, "Give me your hand too," could he?

"Let nature take its course," Shi Yu sighed inwardly.

He could sense that Zhang Lexuan had some affection for him, and he also had feelings for this beautiful and intelligent older sister.

But he wasn't exactly a saint himself; he not only had feelings for her, but also for Jiang Nannan, and even more so for her.

Jiang Nannan also likes him, and she's been quite proactive in expressing her feelings. It's only a matter of time before the two of them actually get together.

In this situation, I need to consider whether Zhang Lexuan can accept my situation.

"Maybe I should take the initiative," Shi Yu thought to himself.

Jiang Nannan actually wanted Zhang Lexuan to leave first, so that she and Shi Yu could have some time alone.

After a year apart, she realized her feelings for Shi Yu; she truly loved him.

If you like someone, you should take the initiative.

The three continued strolling around, chatting intermittently, until it was quite late before returning to the academy together.

Zhang Lexuan ultimately did not give Jiang Nannan a chance to spend time alone with Shi Yu.

The following day, Shi Yu arrived in Mingdu from Shrek Academy in just two minutes.

His already fast travel speed was now further reduced.

Shi Yu spends a lot of time healing his injuries every day. Within a week, his injuries were almost fully recovered, but the damage to his soul bone was healing relatively slowly.

"I wonder if absorbing the energy from these soul bones can accelerate their healing."

Shi Yu thought of many ways to speed up the healing of his soul bones, and couldn't help but think of the soul bones in his storage soul tool.

He has no use for these soul bones, but perhaps he could consider making use of them.

He used the lowest quality soul bone to try, even though it was over 30,000 years old.

If other Soul Masters knew that he would shred the Dragon Slayer Blade into powder, even Mu En would probably call him a spendthrift.

Everyone would love for their ten-thousand-year-old soul bone to remain intact; who would willingly shatter their soul bone like him?
Even a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is not easy to destroy, but it is still inevitably destroyed in the face of a divine artifact.

Shi Yu applied the soul bone powder to the damaged area of ​​the soul bone, attempting to absorb and fuse it.

After some trial and error, they actually managed to absorb the soul bone powder.

After absorption, the broken soul bone recovered much faster and felt like it had been strengthened.

"This has led me to another path for strengthening my soul bones."

Shi Yu couldn't help but smile. After he had completely absorbed the powder that the soul bone had been ground into, the damaged parts of the Eight Spider Spear Soul Bone had recovered by nearly half.

The two remaining dark gold claws have been almost fully restored, and some of the three broken claws have also been replaced.

He then crushed another piece of soul bone into powder; this piece of soul bone was over 40,000 years old.

After he completely absorbed the powder from the soul bone, all the gaps on the Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone disappeared, restoring it to its original state, or even slightly improved it.

After he fully absorbed the powder from the third soul bone, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Soul Bone was fully restored, and its age increased significantly, reaching the level of 80,000 years.

"The soul bones in Dragon Valley could probably pile up into a mountain. Once I crush all those soul bones into powder and let my own soul bones absorb them, could I directly strengthen them into god-level soul bones?" Shi Yu couldn't help but imagine.

Normal soul bones can also be strengthened in this way, but the effect is less than one-tenth that of external soul bones.
