Chapter 15 Time Stops, Abyss Changes!
"Did they really absorb that wisp of time attribute from the Dark Raven?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye and Han Tianyi paused slightly, exchanged a glance, and both could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.
Although the Dark Night Raven is rumored to have the ability to traverse time, no one has ever actually seen it. To be able to absorb the time attribute and turn it into a soul skill, Jiang Xiu's luck is truly extraordinary.
But only Jiang Xiu himself knew that this time-attribute soul skill was a bloodline soul skill that Dark Night Raven had given him voluntarily after he completely submitted. It would have been absolutely impossible if it were just a simple fusion of soul spirits.
"My dear disciple, quickly let your master see what this time-attribute soul skill looks like, so that your master can tailor a plan for your next training."
Makino smiled and rubbed his hands together slightly, gesturing with his eyes.
"it is good."
Jiang Xiu nodded in agreement. Although soul skills are a soul master's secret and are generally not easily revealed except in battle, there was no need to hide them from his master and uncle.
"Hey!"
As Jiang Xiu slightly raised his left hand, the towering figure of the Shadow Monarch appeared behind him, and a hundred-year-old soul ring rose up with it.
With a slight movement of the spirit ring, a Dark Night Raven, its body gleaming with black light, flew out, folded its wings, and landed on Jiang Xiu's right shoulder, nuzzling him affectionately, its arrogance completely gone.
"Raven, time stop!"
Jiang Xiu's blood-red eyes flickered, and he clenched his left hand in the air. The hundred-year-old soul rings surrounding him instantly shone brightly. The Dark Night Raven immediately changed from its affectionate posture to a fighting face. Its blood-red eyes suddenly changed, and two dark red circular clocks instantly appeared, their hands coming to an abrupt stop.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, a layer of pale blood-red ripples spread out, shimmering with silver light. Wherever it passed, light stopped refracting, air stopped flowing, sound instantly ceased, and everything fell into stillness.
Mu Ye and Han Tianyi, who were standing beside Jiang Xiu, were also enveloped in the light, covered by a faint red glow, and remained frozen in place.
Mu Ye did not use his soul power, but carefully sensed the effects of Jiang Xiu's time stop. Han Tianyi did the same.
"Snap!"
A second later, a sound like shattering glass rang out in the room, and then everything returned to normal.
Warm sunlight streamed through the glass, a bubble continued to rise in the fish tank beside the office, and footsteps could be faintly heard outside the office.
"Phew, it's almost burned out."
Jiang Xiu exhaled a long breath, his lips slightly pale, and his soul power was already more than half depleted. The Dark Night Raven on his shoulder lowered its head wearily.
"Time stop, time stops... Everything within a five-meter radius is frozen in place, great, great!"
Makino had his hands behind his back, but his clenched fists trembled slightly.
"Not only that, junior disciple, didn't you feel yourself momentarily dazed just now?"
Han Tianyi's eyes gleamed with a silvery light as he stroked his chin, giving a subtle hint.
Although neither of them resisted and allowed the time-stopping effect to fall on them, his powerful mental perception did cause his vision to blur for a moment, albeit only for a fleeting instant.
"Uncle-Master, are you saying that Xiao Xiu's time-stop soul skill is absolutely valid? Just like the Xu family's mutated martial soul, the Star Wheel Ice Staff?"
After being reminded by his martial uncle, Mu Ye seemed to suddenly realize something, and his amazement at Jiang Xiu intensified.
"Just ask Xiaoxiu."
Han Tianyi looked at Jiang Xiu with a peaceful expression.
"Grandmaster Uncle, time stop is indeed absolutely effective. Although the duration of time stop decreases as the difference in strength increases, it will at least freeze the opponent for a moment, during which time I can move freely."
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, his tone firm.
Xu Xiaoyan's Star Wheel Ice Staff can use starlight to freeze enemies, making it absolutely reliable. His Time Stop also has this ability, but its only drawback is that it consumes too much energy. Right now, it only takes one second to almost drain him dry.
However, this weakness will diminish as he becomes stronger.
"Will the duration of time stop increase as your strength improves during short breaks?"
Han Tianyi's eyes flickered as she asked the most crucial question.
"Yes, based on the current situation, the time stop effect will increase by one second for each major tier advancement."
Jiang Xiu considered for a moment before speaking.
"When you become a Title Douluo, won't you have nine seconds to face someone of the same level? Once I teach you the combat techniques of our Body Sect, nine seconds will be enough to kill your opponent nine times, nine times!"
Upon hearing this, Makino's emotions surged instantly. In a battle between experts, even a single breath's mistake could lead to death, let alone nine seconds.
"Alright, don't think about that too much for now. The most important thing is to be down-to-earth. Don't forget that Xiao Xiu is only a level 13 Soul Master right now. After using Time Stop just once, his Soul Power is almost depleted."
"So this can only be used as a last resort, and should not be used recklessly."
Han Tianyi glared at Mu Ye and said in a deep voice.
"Your uncle is right. You must not be arrogant because of this. A true master must always have the mindset of an apprentice."
"To become a true strong person, one must be hardworking, diligent, and humble; none of these three can be lacking."
Makino suppressed his smile and spoke seriously to Jiang Xiu.
"Your disciple will remember this."
Jiang Xiu said solemnly.
A mere time stop won't make him complacent, because his future opponents are gods, or even god-kings.
Moreover, he doesn't have much time left to grow in the future, at most a dozen years or so.
"Alright, Xiaoxiu, you can go out now. Let Xiaoling take you down to rest. You still need to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform tomorrow to upgrade your soul ring's age. The soul beasts there are extremely ferocious."
Han Tianyi waved her hand, and the woman in uniform who had been there earlier walked into the office and took Jiang Xiu away to rest.
After Jiang Xiu left, Mu Ye and Han Tianyi, who were the only two people left in the room, looked at each other and could no longer suppress their laughter. After three seconds of silence, a huge burst of laughter suddenly rang out.
They told Jiang Xiu not to be arrogant, but they could be.
Having such a genius and such good luck, if they can hold back their laughter, then it's a sure sign they're depressed.
"Uncle-Master, this is not a drill. Our Body Sect is truly about to be revived."
"Yes, it's going to be revived. I hope I can see it in my lifetime."
Han Tianyi sighed. He had his own unspeakable reasons for joining the Spirit Pagoda back then.
After all, if one's own sect is strong, who would want to come to another sect and grovel before them?
……
Inside a spacious, clean and tidy room.
Jiang Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed, secretly absorbing soul power. The moment his soul power recovered, he slowly opened his eyes, his purple pupils faintly exuding a noble aura.
"When I broke through to the Soul Master level, my shadow, which I left behind in the abyss, also felt a strange tremor. Let me see what's going on."
After conserving his energy and making preparations, Jiang Xiu's consciousness slowly sank into the Shadow Monarch, instantly entering another dimension.
