Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 492 Taking the Time Dragon King as a Master, a God-Level Gift
"Your martial soul is time?"

The Time Dragon King then asked, somewhat uncertain and doubtful. He sensed the power of time emanating from the other party, though it was very weak, which was why he couldn't make a definitive judgment.

Shi Yu was somewhat surprised, and became even more certain that the giant dragon in front of him was the Time Dragon King.

If it weren't for the Time Dragon King, the other party probably wouldn't have asked this question.

His Time Martial Soul is not something that can be easily detected.

"Yes."

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Shi Yu did not say no. Since the other party was able to ask, they must have some confidence.

In that case, if you disagree, the other party will likely seek confirmation. Since that's the case, it's better to be direct and give the other party a good impression that you trust them.

"Show it to me."

The Time Dragon King asked, filled with intense curiosity. He had actually seen a Time Martial Soul before, but only once. That person's achievement was stuck at level ninety-nine and he had not been able to grow into a god.

This person's Time Martial Soul isn't considered strong, which prevents him from reaching the God level.

Of course, this is only relative. As long as it is related to the time attribute, even the worst martial soul can be considered a top-tier martial soul.

There are no weaklings in time and space. As long as these two attributes are involved, becoming a Title Douluo is definitely not a problem as long as you put in some effort.

Shi Yu made a decisive move to demonstrate, as he didn't have many other options at the moment.

The invisible and intangible power of time spread out, and although nothing seemed to change around them, the Time Dragon King's pupils contracted.

"What an amazing Time Martial Soul."

The Time Dragon King was surprised. He was considered the strongest person in the world when it came to time, so he naturally had a great understanding of the Time Martial Soul.

Shi Yu's martial soul power gave him an extremely pure feeling; his martial soul was actually pure time.
He couldn't help but re-examine the person in front of him; this was the second time his opinion of Shi Yu had changed drastically.

The first time was when I learned that he had gained the Dragon God's approval, and this time it's because of his Time Martial Soul.

A pure time-based martial soul—this was something he hadn't expected.

It's hard to imagine such a pure temporal attribute appearing in a human being.

Shi Yu had been observing the Time Dragon King ever since they met, and had never stopped predicting good or bad fortune.

It started as a very bad omen, but gradually turned out to be safe, and now it can be said that they are basically out of danger.

"It seems that my talent has caught the attention of the Time Dragon King, and he will value me more."

Shi Yu pondered in his heart, also thinking about how to fool the Time Dragon King.

"Your talent is truly exceptional. Fortunately, you have gained the Dragon God's approval, otherwise I would have definitely killed you."

The Time Dragon King spoke frankly and directly, saying that this was his truest thought.

If this person cannot be used for your own purposes, then the best option is to kill him, otherwise he will surely become a major threat in the future.

"I guess I was just lucky."

Shi Yu reacted as if he was lucky, and a relaxed look appeared on his face.

The Time Dragon King looked at Shi Yu with increasing satisfaction, and suddenly said, "You humans value the master-disciple relationship. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

He had already acknowledged Shi Yu's talent, and the other party had indeed gained the approval of the Dragon God; otherwise, there would have been no way for him to refine the Dragon God's Heart.

In this situation, it is necessary to think about how to completely bind it with the soul beast.

There is basically no master-disciple relationship among spirit beasts. There is a teaching relationship, but it is not as formal as the master-disciple relationship among humans.

"This isn't quite right." "After all, I've gained the Dragon God's approval, which means I've received the Dragon God's legacy. He's my master."

"If I were to become your disciple again, it would be somewhat disrespectful to the Dragon God."

Shi Yu hesitated, but was still quite willing. Through this master-disciple relationship, he could better make the Time Dragon King work for him and find ways to gain some benefits from him.

The refusal stems from the thought that one shouldn't easily become an apprentice; it's necessary to negotiate a bit.

The Time Dragon King wasn't angry about Shi Yu's reason for refusing; he even thought it made some sense.

However, he still had a strong desire to take Shi Yu as his disciple.

"Now that the Dragon God has fallen, he can't teach you anything. If you become my disciple, I believe the Dragon God will understand."

"To be honest, I was once the number one general under the Dragon God, the Time Dragon King."

"The power of time that I possess will absolutely be of great help to your growth."

"Don't let these so-called etiquette and respect hinder your own improvement."

The Dragon King of Time spoke earnestly, his attitude much more peaceful than before.

Shi Yu hesitated, considered it carefully, and finally nodded in agreement.

"The disciple has met the teacher."

Shi Yu quickly took on the role of a disciple, and in truth, he did not lose out by becoming the Time Dragon King's disciple.

His grasp of time is definitely superior to mine, and I should be able to benefit greatly from learning from him.

The Time Dragon King smiled, his body rapidly shrinking, transforming from the dragon's true form into a middle-aged man in white robes, who appeared to be around thirty years old.

His actual age is over a million years old, but the ravages of time have not aged him much.

After the other dragon kings transformed into human form, they all looked to be in their forties or fifties, and they were more severely ravaged by time than he was.

It's worth noting that a soul beast's million years of age and a million years of lifespan are not the same concept.

The age limit of a soul beast is more like a measure of its cultivation level, just like the Soul Master's Soul Venerable and Soul Sect realms.

Age is the actual time one has lived. Looking at the past and the future, soul beasts that can live to be a million years old are extremely rare.

Only the Dragon God and the Nine Dragon Kings have truly existed for more than a million years; other so-called million-year-old soul beasts are likely fictitious.

The most typical example is the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a million-year-old soul beast; it certainly didn't live to be a million years old.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is the same; although it is a soul beast with a lifespan of a million years, it cannot be said that its actual lifespan reached a million years.

Under normal circumstances, without becoming a god, a soul beast can only live for a maximum of seven or eight hundred thousand years; there is a lifespan limit.

"From now on, we will have a master-disciple relationship. As long as you are truly devoted to the soul beast race, I will never treat you unfairly."

"This is a gift from your teacher to you as we first meet."

As the Time Dragon King spoke, he handed over a nearly transparent dragon scale.

The dragon scale is about the size of a palm, and you can vaguely see some patterns on its surface.

Shi Yu glanced at it briefly and immediately sensed the passage of time; the dragon scales contained an extremely profound power of time.

"Thank you, teacher. I will do my best."

Shi Yu readily accepted the scale with a smile.
