The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

"Yu, you've really given me a wonderful surprise. Come with me, someone from the Sea God Pavilion wants to see you."

Xu Zihuang understood, but on the surface he still pretended to be puzzled.

"Sea God Pavilion?"

"Okay, I'll explain it to you on the way." Wang Yan nodded, and then impatiently led Xu Zihuang toward the direction of Sea God Lake.

"The Sea God Pavilion is our Shrek Academy..."

Xu Zihuang followed behind Wang Yan, listening silently to his explanation. The two of them walked at a good pace, and before long, the vast, azure Sea God Lake came into view.

A small boat was moored on the shore of Poseidon Lake, clearly waiting for them.

"Yu, it's truly enviable that you've been able to visit Seagod Island at your age," Wang Yan remarked from the small boat.

"However, with your talent, it's only a matter of time before you enter the inner academy."

As Xu Zihuang talked with Wang Yan, he observed the increasingly clear lake surface. As the small boat approached Poseidon Island, he even sensed a faint life force in the nearby lake water.

Is it because of the golden tree?

After sailing for more than fifteen minutes, passing through the mist, they gradually came into view of the island.

Poseidon Island appears to be only about two square kilometers in size. It's not flat; rather, it resembles a small hill. Various pavilions and towers are built upon it. The island is very quiet, as if no one lives there. Everything is so peaceful and tranquil, like a secluded paradise. The pavilions and towers, hidden among tall vegetation, are elegant and refined.

The vegetation here is at least a thousand years old, and some trees are even hundreds of meters tall. Not only is the air fresh, but the mist also obscures their view, creating a sense of being unable to see the true face of the mountain because they are in the midst of it.

After landing on Poseidon Island, Wang Yan did not rush forward with Xu Zihuang, but simply told Xu Zihuang to wait there patiently.

Xu Zihuang sensed something and circulated his soul power, relying on the powerful vision granted by his Golden Eyes to look up and see through the mist on the central mountaintop of Seagod Island.

As light and shadow intertwined, a three-story building came into view. The building itself was brown and entirely made of wood, exuding a rustic charm and a sense of history. Upon closer inspection, one could also notice that the wood of the building seemed to possess an almost oily sheen.

The three-story building is only about ten meters tall, lacking any sense of grandeur or magnificence. However, directly above the entrance on the first floor, a black plaque hangs, with three large gilded characters identifying it as the Sea God Pavilion.

Suddenly, Xu Zihuang seemed to sense something. Three purple spirit rings instantly rose from beneath his feet, with the third spirit ring, which was purple with a hint of black, lighting up almost simultaneously.

A flash of brilliant golden light streaked across the ground, and on the ground centered on his body, it was as if obscure and intricate patterns were etched with golden light.

These strange patterns are exactly what the patterns around his pupils look like after he used the Golden Eye Martial Soul, magnified countless times.

A strange golden halo spread around, making the space seem distorted.

Located in the center of this space, Xu Zihuang's figure went limp, and all his soul power instantly dried up, leaving him breathing heavily.

He forced himself to stay alert and looked at the old man who had appeared in front of him.

The old man was dressed in shabby clothes, his hair disheveled. He stared at his greasy right hand, his terrifying red eyes filled with disbelief.

With his strength, how could he fail to capture a freshman whose soul power was only around level 30?

"No, this soul skill..."

"Could it be a time-space distortion?!"

Chapter 91 Third Soul Skill: Time Distortion

The old man looked at Xu Zihuang again, his excitement even greater than when Wang Yan first learned that Xu Zihuang possessed a true martial soul.

The greasy hand gripped Xu Zihuang's shoulder like a vise in an instant, urging him anxiously.

"Quickly, demonstrate that soul skill you just used again!"

With his soul power completely depleted, Xu Zihuang had no strength left to resist. Even if he were in his best condition, he probably wouldn't be able to replicate what had just happened.

He had just sensed danger and instinctively activated the third soul skill he had obtained from the Dark Demon God Tiger.

His third soul skill is very special; the stronger the opponent, the greater the consumption of his soul power.

He had only tried to avoid the old man's casual grab, but he had almost instantly exhausted all his soul power. This shows how strong he was.

The old man's oily hands had stained Xu Zihuang's white school uniform filthy.

Although he was somewhat displeased with the old man's slovenly behavior, he wouldn't be foolish enough to show it. Based on the old man's appearance and demeanor, he already had a rough idea of ​​who he was.

Wang Yan, who was standing to the side, realized what was happening and quickly bowed.

He then introduced Xu Zihuang beside him, saying, "Student Yu, this is Elder Xuan of the Sea God Pavilion. He is the one who wants to see you."

His words confirmed the old man's identity.

He was none other than Xuan Lao, the Gluttonous Douluo, a top expert of the contemporary Sea God Pavilion whose cultivation was second only to Dragon God Douluo Mu En, and whose soul power reached level ninety-eight.

really.

Xu Zihuang's heart stirred slightly, and he said respectfully.

"Hello, Elder Xuan."

"Stop with all this formalities. Hurry up and show me that soul skill you just used, or I'll make things difficult for you at the academy later." Elder Xuan looked impatient, his eager demeanor showing none of the so-called demeanor of a strongman.

Xu Zihuang helplessly shrugged and smiled wryly.

"Elder Xuan, I need to have enough soul power in my body to use that soul skill."

He knew this Elder Xuan's character very well; he was a man of his word.

"I forgot about that." Elder Xuan was taken aback. Before he could finish speaking, Xu Zihuang felt a vast amount of soul power surge into his body from Elder Xuan's right hand, which was gripping his shoulder.

This soul power was simply too immense. Fortunately, Xu Zihuang had consumed various rare and precious herbs since childhood to cleanse his body of impurities, making his meridians far more resilient than those of ordinary soul masters.

He accepted it all without hesitation, as if swallowing a whale whole.

At this moment, Elder Xuan's gaze toward Xu Zihuang also became strange.

Xu Zihuang's physical strength far exceeded his expectations. What surprised him even more was the extremely high quality of Xu Zihuang's soul power. Although he only had a soul power level of thirty-four, the total amount of soul power was astonishing.

Over the years, he has seen many exceptionally talented inner court disciples.

Even Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao, who were the most talented in the inner courtyard, had soul power quality far inferior to Xu Zihuang at this cultivation level.

"What a freak."

Within a few breaths, Xu Zihuang's soul power was fully replenished.

The soul power that Elder Xuan injected into his body was condensed from his own soul core, the purest primordial soul power, so there was no issue of conflict. After circulating through his meridians once, this soul power became no different from the soul power he normally obtained through cultivation.

Moreover, because Elder Xuan's pure primordial soul power was of such a high grade, his cultivation level was significantly improved as a result.

Although it wasn't enough to allow his soul power to directly break through to level 35, the increase in soul power was equivalent to a month of his previous arduous training.

After this incident, Master Xuan seemed to have calmed down considerably.

"Can we practice one more time now?"

Wang Yan, who had been pondering the first two sentences of Elder Xuan, also subconsciously looked at Xu Zihuang.

Meeting their gazes, Xu Zihuang nodded solemnly.

My third soul skill will be exposed sooner or later, so there's no need to hide it.

A magnificent purple halo bathed the azure lake surface, reflecting Xu Zihuang's slender figure and the three slowly pulsating purple soul rings.

The third spirit ring, a purplish-black hue, shone brightly, and streaks of obscure, brilliant golden light reappeared on the ground around him, covering an area of ​​a hundred meters in radius around his body.

A golden halo appeared and distorted in this space, making it seem as if this space had been separated from the rest of the world.

Despite being so close, Elder Xuan and Wang Yan were strangely unable to clearly see Xu Zihuang's face.

Under their watchful eyes, Xu Zihuang bent down and picked up a smooth pebble from the lakeside. He held it to eye level, then suddenly let go.

The pebble seemed to defy gravity and floated strangely in mid-air.

However, both Elder Xuan and Wang Yan knew that Xu Zihuang's third soul skill was definitely not a gravity control skill. This was because there was clearly no strong earth elemental aura around them.

Elder Xuan frowned, staring at the suspended stone, then seemed to suddenly realize something and murmured.

"It's actually a rare time-attribute soul skill. And it's a soul skill similar to a domain. No wonder it made me fail before."

Elder Xuan, being a man of great experience, quickly discovered the secret of Xu Zihuang's third soul skill after careful observation.

The pebble did not escape gravity; rather, it fell at a speed so slow that it was difficult to observe with the naked eye.

It was almost as if time had stopped.

Hearing Elder Xuan's words, Wang Yan, who was standing to the side, could hardly contain his surprise and doubt.

Xu Zihuang's ethereal voice also rang out at this moment.

“Elder Xuan, you are right. My third soul skill is called Time Distortion. It can control the flow of time within this space, speeding it up or slowing it down. But it cannot stop time.”

This is why he is so grateful to have obtained this third soul skill in the Star Dou Great Forest.

This soul skill is too unbelievable.

It should be noted that the Evil Eye Tyrant, ranked second among the Ten Ferocious Beasts, only managed to comprehend a trace of the rules of time after more than 700,000 years of arduous cultivation, relying on the complementary Yin-Yang soul core of spiritual and spatial attributes.

However, luck was only part of the reason he was able to obtain this soul skill; another reason was that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a soul beast, inherently controlled the attribute of time.

It's reasonable that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring, after combining with its spirit-attribute martial soul, the Golden Eye, would acquire this time-attribute soul skill.

Such a powerful soul skill naturally has its limitations.

He can indeed change the flow of time in this space according to his own will, but the more significant a person or thing is in this world, the more soul power he will consume if he wants to influence it with this soul skill.

This is an unbreakable rule.

For example, when he used this soul skill on a top-tier expert like Elder Xuan, it drained his soul power in an instant. But when he used it on this pebble, the consumption of soul power was negligible.

Chapter 92 Elder Mu

The distorted golden halo receded, revealing Xu Zihuang's figure.

A gentle breeze swept across the clear lake surface, and the mist surged, making this space, which had previously seemed to be separated, appear to reconnect with the world.

Wang Yan's expression had become numb.

The term "gifted" might not be quite appropriate to describe Yu Tianhuang; it would be more accurate to say he was blessed with extraordinary talent.

He likely possesses a spirit-attribute martial soul that awakened twice innately, reached the Soul Master level at the age of eleven, has three thousand-year soul rings, a powerful second soul skill derived from the Demonic Tiger Whale, and an even more monstrous domain-type time-attribute soul skill.

A Soul Master who possesses even one of these five qualities can absolutely be considered a top-tier genius.

And yet, all of this happened to one person.
