Chapter 35: Boundary Training Ground

Yang Xu was confused at this time.

In the open space ahead, a figure in a black cloak quietly appeared.

Yang Xu immediately retreated several steps, as if facing a formidable enemy. This figure was very familiar to him; it was the strange person who had been chasing him in this space for the past two nights.

After the man in black appeared, he did not attack immediately. Instead, he reached out and took off the hood on his head, revealing his face hidden under the cloak.

A rather weathered man's face with a messy beard, which looked like it had not been taken care of for a long time.

The man appeared and just looked at Yang Xu opposite him silently, without saying a word or moving.

Yang Xu had no choice but to speak: "Who are you?"

"Stop." The man said lightly.

It is indeed the one who stops!
Yang Xu was not too surprised. In fact, when he saw the time standing still in the air just now, he already had some guesses. In this world, the only one who could make time stand still, besides him, was of course the Stopper.

What really shocked him was not the fact that the other party was a stopper, but the fact that based on his previous two experiences in this space, this space could actually last for seven days!
"You... can stop time for so long?" Yang Xu was a little bit unbelievable.

You know, his time stop can only last for five seconds. Could it be that after being fully developed, the Stopper Card can become so abnormal?
If we suspend for seven days at a time, wouldn’t that mean we are invincible?
"This is not a place where time stops, but a 'world of cessation'." said the one who stopped.

"What is the boundary?" Yang Xu asked.

"A more advanced form of time-stopping can pause time for a long time at a time. But it also has more restrictions. In the world of stopping, you can only be a bystander and cannot take any action against the people and creatures that are suspended, otherwise you will suffer backlash. In addition, the world of stopping can only be opened at a fixed time every day." The Stopper still answered in that indifferent tone, but his voice seemed to be trying to suppress something.

Yang Xu did not notice the suppression of the stopper and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. In short, this place was not a normal place where time stood still. Although the time of time stopping was greatly extended, he could only be a spectator.

The fact that one cannot attack others alone greatly limits the effectiveness of this time-stop, not to mention that it can only be activated at fixed times.

It is hard to say which one is better, this kind of time stop or the real time stop. We can only say that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

"Stopper...didn't your letter say you were dead?"

Coming back to his senses, Yang Xu looked at the Stopper strangely.

The first sentence in the letter left by Zhizhe was "When you read this letter, I will be dead." However, a few days later, Zhizhe appeared in front of him again...

"Oh? Did I leave you a letter..."

The Stopper murmured, and raised his head after a moment: "Yes, in the future, I will die, but this is not the future, but the past. You should have seen the time." The Stopper pointed to the moment above his head.

Yang Xu frowned: "You mean I traveled back to the past, and now it's five months ago?"

"To be precise, it was the Stopper Card that pulled you back to the past realm of stop. But only your consciousness came back, and now you are just a consciousness." The Stopper explained, and the repression in his voice became more obvious.

Yang Xu pondered for a few seconds and then asked, "This space will open at 12 o'clock every night, right?"

"Yes, but your consciousness needs to enter a certain level of doze first." The Stopper nodded.

"What is your purpose?" Yang Xu asked again.

"I've been entrusted with the task of training you."

After saying that, the stopper took out a piece of black cloth and threw it to Yang Xu: "Take it with you."

Yang Xu took the black cloth in a daze, not quite understanding its meaning. At this moment, he was still thinking about what the other party had just said: Entrusted by someone?
It’s grandma!
Yang Xu's eyes lit up: "Oh, my grandma, how did she..."

Yang Xu immediately wanted to ask about the cause of his grandmother's death.

The Stopper must have known Grandma, and he should have known the cause of her death. But this time, the Stopper didn't answer. Instead, he stood there, head lowered, mumbling something faster and faster.

"You are too weak. You don't deserve to have the Stopper Card. You don't deserve it. You are too weak, too weak, too weak, too weak..."

The stopper suddenly raised his head and laughed, and his originally calm face quickly became distorted and crazy.

"What's going on?" Yang Xu was full of questions, but then he saw Zhizheping raise his hands, and above his hands, a bunch of flying knives appeared.

Yang Xu's eyelids twitched, and he knew what was going to happen.

"The weak don't deserve to live in this world!"

The person in front was already rushing towards him with a wild laugh, throwing the flying knives in his hands at him as if they were free.

This person must be mentally ill! He can turn against you at any time.

Yang Xu groaned inwardly, and quickly switched to the Taoist boy skin, fleeing in this world.

The next scene returned to the familiar scene in his dream: he was running around the map in front, and the Stopper was chasing him madly from behind as if he owed him five million.

During the process, Yang Xu turned back several times and tried to talk to the other party in an attempt to wake him up.

However, it was of no use. After falling into madness, the person who stopped was completely unable to communicate.

On the contrary, every time Yang Xu turned around, he would be stabbed several times.

In a short while, Yang Xu's body was covered with flying knives and blood was gushing out.

His health points were gradually depleted, eventually reaching zero, and his body turned into fragments and disappeared.

Less than two seconds after disappearing, all the fragments reassembled and re-formed Yang Xu's figure at the original place.

"It really is a consciousness that can't even die." Yang Xu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Although the consciousness would resurrect immediately after being killed, the pain of being stabbed by a flying knife was undeniable. Anyone who was stabbed like this for seven days and seven nights would have a mental breakdown. Yang Xu had no choice but to run away desperately, dodging the attacks as much as possible.

All kinds of swords, spears, swords and halberds kept flying at him from behind. Yang Xu had no time to look back and could only rely on the sound to barely determine the direction.

But when he actually started running, Yang Xu discovered that his body was much more agile than he had imagined. Many times his consciousness could not react, but his body's instinct would automatically move his feet, helping him to avoid attacks time and time again.

This mysterious feeling was very familiar, reminding Yang Xu of the battle against the kamaitachi yesterday.

When he faced the machine-gun-like wind blades of the kamaitachi, his body moved instinctively, and he miraculously avoided all the wind sickles in the end.

"Maybe this is what the Stopper wants me to train..." Yang Xu thought.

The biggest weakness of the Stopper Card is that the time stop has a movement distance limit, and the range of movement is only five meters.

This weakness can be ignored when facing melee enemies, but it will be troublesome when encountering ranged enemies.

How to survive the enemy's long-range attacks and get within five meters of the enemy is the most urgent problem that Yang Xu needs to solve now.

And the actions of the stopper at this moment are undoubtedly simulating a long-range attacker and attacking him.

The Stopper is teaching him how to overcome the defect of time stopping!

Realizing this, Yang Xu no longer resisted the pursuit of the stopper. He immersed his mind and began to carefully feel the attack from behind.
