Douluo Dragon King: My Martial Soul is Kamen Rider!

Suddenly, Na'er's soft voice reached her ears, carrying a complex emotion: "No matter how many times I come here, it's always so beautiful... The plants are so lush, the air is so fresh. I wish the outside world could always be like this."

Her voice contained both admiration for the natural beauty before her eyes, sadness for the destruction of nature in reality, and a trace of undisguised nostalgia and melancholy, as if she were recalling a distant and beautiful place.

Zhou Yang turned around and saw Na'er standing under an ancient tree not far away, her head slightly tilted back, looking at the branches and leaves, her eyes full of loneliness.

He understood that Na'er's background was special, and she had a unique attachment to nature. Seeing such a pure natural scene would inevitably evoke her emotions and remind her of the destroyed homes.

Zhou Yang walked over slowly, reached out and gently ruffled Na'er's short silver hair, comforting her in a tender tone: "Don't be sad. Not everyone in this world is short-sighted. Many people have realized the harm of disrupting the balance of nature and are working hard to protect it."

"If we're really going to talk about it, we should hold those who actually used the resources and damaged nature accountable, instead of pointing fingers at ordinary people who can't even glimpse a corner of the Heavenly Palace and have never tasted shark fin and saying they've destroyed the natural environment, and making them share the blame."

Zhou Yang paused, deliberately softened his tone, and joked, "Besides, with us here, things will definitely get better and better in the future. Maybe the outside world will be as beautiful as this place in the future."

Zhou Yang did indeed harbor this idea. Since he had the opportunity and the ability, he wanted to use his power to do what he wanted to do. To let those incompetent fools experience what magnetic field execution was like.

With the power of the Demon King, the establishment of the rebirth pool is a piece of cake!

He wouldn't care even if he became a demon king.

He wants everyone in the world to love him, respect him, fear him, and obey him!

With Zhou Yang's gentle comfort and playful banter, the melancholy in Na'er's eyes gradually faded, and the sorrow on her face lessened considerably. She looked up at Zhou Yang, nodded, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Yes! Boss is right, from now on we'll protect nature together!"

The two exchanged a smile, both knowing that this was the Spirit Ascension Platform, not a place for idle chatter; their most important tasks right now were survival and spiritual ascension.

Na'er immediately stopped smiling, her eyes becoming wary as she quickly scanned her surroundings. Zhou Yang also put away his gentleness, his aura becoming calm and steady. The two stood side by side, cautiously heading deeper into the forest.

After walking a few steps, Na'er flicked her wrist, and a silver light flashed, revealing a magnificent and dazzling silver dragon spear in her hand. The spear gleamed with a brilliant light and flowed with faint soul power fluctuations, making it exceptionally eye-catching.

She gripped the Silver Dragon Spear tightly, turned to look at Zhou Yang, her eyes full of curiosity, and asked, "Boss, what exactly is your martial spirit?"

When I registered at the Spirit Pagoda, it wasn't until recently that I saw on the registration form that the spirit was called Time King.

She had no idea what kind of martial soul it was. Even with the knowledge she had learned from her teacher and the experience of the Silver Dragon King's half-body, she had never seen any records of it.

During their time together, their conversations almost entirely revolved around food. Even Ya Li was drawn into the culinary explorations, never once asking about Zhou Yang's martial soul. Na'er, who had been suppressing her curiosity for so long, finally couldn't hold back and asked.

Looking at Na'er's curious expression, Zhou Yang smiled mysteriously and said casually, "Well, you'll just have to wait and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yang's right hand suddenly flashed with a dark golden light, and a uniquely shaped white belt appeared out of thin air—it was the Time Driver. At the same time, a white watch face appeared on his left hand, engraved with intricate patterns and exuding a strong sense of time.

Zhou Yang placed the Time-Space Driver at his waist, and the driver instantly extended a belt that securely fastened around his waist, fitting his body perfectly.

【ZIKU-DRIVER】

A crisp mechanical sound rang out, and Zhou Yang flicked the white dial with his right hand. Instantly, a projection icon of a knight's head appeared on the dial's surface, flashing brightly and attracting attention.

【ZI-O (Zi-O)】

Na'er: ?

Na'er stood there, her eyes wide open, her face full of confusion, her mind filled with questions.

What is this? A belt? A watch face? And what strange noises are these? She couldn't understand what Zhou Yang was doing at all, and could only stare blankly, forgetting even to ask a question.

Before Na'er could react, Zhou Yang forcefully shoved the white watch face into the Time Driver and pressed the button on the side of the driver. Then, he straightened his left arm, raising it high like the minute hand, protecting his chest, assuming a fighting stance, ready to strike.

A clear ticking sound came from the Time Driver, "tick-tock, tick-tock," as if it were counting down.

At the same time, a huge clock appeared behind Zhou Yang, surrounded by several hour clocks. The hands were ticking counterclockwise, radiating a strong power of time, as if the time of the entire world was under control at this moment.

"henshin!"

Zhou Yang gave a low shout, and his left hand slowly dropped down, like the hour hand of a clock, quickly slicing across his belt and turning the time-space driver counterclockwise.

【RIDER TIME】

The mechanical voice sounded again, and the hour and minute hands behind Zhou Yang instantly closed, and a bizarre scene unfolded.

Na'er felt a sudden dizziness, and the scene before her eyes began to distort. Then, to her surprise, she discovered that the fallen leaves that had been on the ground were now rising up again and slowly returning to the branches. The grass blades that had been blown by the wind were also turning back to their original positions. The whole world was playing backwards at that moment.

Kamen Rider Zi-O

A resounding knight's call shattered the forest's tranquility, and the hour and minute hands behind Zhou Yang unfolded once more, forming a perfect 120-degree angle. Immediately afterward, concentric rings of watch face-shaped straps appeared around Zhou Yang, encircling him and forming a sphere before suddenly exploding open, radiating light.

As the light faded, a tall figure appeared in the spot. Zhou Yang's body swelled to two meters, clad in silver and black armor with sharp lines, exuding majesty and power.

On the mask, a pair of purple-pink compound eyes stood out, gleaming with a faint luster. The armor all over his body was also decorated with patterns of the same color, exuding a strong sense of time and radiating an aura of power.

On a hillside some distance from Zhou Yang, Ya Li calmly watched everything. Her figure was hidden among the branches and leaves, and her eyes held an indescribable emotion—surprise, doubt, but more than anything, a joy that confirmed some kind of answer, as if she had long anticipated that Zhou Yang would possess such power.

Suddenly, Ya Li's eyes flickered, her gaze sharply turning to the other side not far from Zhou Yang, her brows furrowing slightly, as if she had noticed something unusual.
