Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 75 Overpressure Air Blade
Unlike spatial teleportation, Yin Chen's Dream Shadow is a temporal manipulation that does not cause any spatial fluctuations.

Even the gods of this world have only a superficial understanding of the laws of time, including the so-called God of Time.

Therefore, it is difficult to detect and prevent such time-based coordinate transitions.

Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes sparkled as she listened. Although she didn't fully understand the concepts of time and space, she knew how rare and powerful Yin Chen's soul skill was.

Gu Yuena seemed to be deep in thought. Yin Chen's words confirmed her perception and also made her more interested in Yin Chen's martial soul.

"Alright, I'll forgive you since you've been so honest."

Ye Guyi waved his hand generously and said.

"However, I still have to treat you to a meal. I want to eat at the most expensive window in the cafeteria."

Yin Chen and Gu Yuena exchanged a smile and nodded.

The three walked side by side, their shadows lengthened by the setting sun, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

This battle not only solidified their absolute position among the new students, but also seemed to bring these three proud and powerful hearts closer together.

The freshman elimination rounds are nearing their end. The eight teams that were determined in the morning will compete more fiercely in this assessment area in the afternoon to vie for the final four spots.

When Yin Chen, Gu Yuena, and Ye Guyi stepped into the arena again, they immediately felt the intense gazes from the other seven teams.

His gaze held a mixture of scrutiny, apprehension, and even a barely perceptible hint of fear.

Without a doubt, no team would want to encounter this "monster team" with three Soul Masters and who have shown absolute dominance in previous matches on their way to the top four.

The lottery ceremony was completed in a tense atmosphere.

When Yin Chen saw his opponent clearly, he smiled and nodded at the round figure opposite him.

Meanwhile, his roommate Xie Huanyue's chubby face fell, revealing a smile that looked even uglier than crying.

He never expected his luck to be this bad, that he would run into his roommate's strongest team in the crucial quarterfinals.

However, retreating is not an option.

As the ace of Class 2 of freshmen and the only Soul Master in the team, Xie Huanyue knew that even if the chances of winning were slim, he had to go all out.

His homeroom teacher had already instructed him that when facing strong opponents, he should demonstrate his strength and resilience. Only in this way could he attract the attention of the college's higher-ups and obtain better training resources.

"Both parties share the same name."

"Class Six, freshmen, Yin Chen."

"Class 6, freshmen, Gu Yuena."

"Class 6, freshmen, Ye Guyi."

"Class Two of Freshmen, Evil Illusion Moon."

"Freshman class two, Luo Tianlong."

"The second class of freshmen, Luo Tianba."

After the announcements were finished, the referee waved his arm and announced, "The competition begins!"

The Evil Moon team clearly had a strategy in place.

In the instant it began, Xie Huanyue let out a low roar, his body suddenly expanding like an inflating balloon. His skin instantly turned a thick, wrinkled grayish-brown, his nose lengthened, and his two enormous ears flapped, making him resemble a humanoid miniature elephant—his martial soul, Pipi Elephant, had taken over. Three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, rose from beneath his feet. The third spirit ring shone brightly, and he inhaled sharply, his already round belly swelling even more—this was his strongest defensive spirit skill.

Meanwhile, the brothers Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, like two ghostly figures, flashed out from both sides of Xie Huanyue. Their arms transformed into sharp, mantis-like blades, gleaming with cold light, and two yellow soul rings rose from their bodies, their goal being to harass and break through.

Facing his roommate's team, Yin Chen did not intend to end the battle quickly with an overwhelming victory.

He needs to give Xie Huanyue a stage to showcase himself.

"We'll take care of the two of them."

Gu Yuena's cold voice rang out. She didn't even look at Yin Chen. The Silver Dragon Spear was already in her hand. With a swift movement, she accurately intercepted Luo Tianlong.

With a light tap of the spear tip, several thick spikes burst forth from the ground, piercing towards Luo Tianlong and restricting his high-speed movement.

Ye Guyi went even further, unfurling her angel wings and transforming them into a golden lightning bolt, arriving first despite being behind, and blocking Luo Tianba's path.

She didn't use any soul skills; she simply struck out with her palm, which was covered in holy light. The immense holy soul power formed an invisible wall of energy, making Luo Tianba feel as if he had crashed into an impenetrable wall. His blade arm struck it, but it only caused a ripple and couldn't advance an inch.

The brothers' surprise attack was easily thwarted by Gu Yuena and Ye Guyi, who then became bogged down in their own battles and were unable to provide any support to the main battlefield.

Now, in the center of the battlefield, only Yin Chen and Xie Huan Yue, who has activated his strongest defensive stance, remain.

"Yin Chen, be careful."

Xie Huanyue shouted, knowing this was his only chance.

His first spirit ring shone brightly, and a huge elephant trunk phantom, accompanied by a whistling wind, swept towards Yin Chen like a giant whip, its power fierce and fierce.

Yin Chen's expression remained unchanged, and his second spirit ring shone brightly.

His body seemed to become illusory, and time seemed to distort for him—Second Soul Skill: The Other Side of Me.

The powerful elephant trunk attack pierced through his body, but it was as if it had struck a phantom, causing no damage whatsoever.

Xie Huanyue felt a chill, but he was also quite experienced in combat, so he immediately changed his strategy, activating his second soul skill and slamming his fists into the ground.

"boom!"

A powerful shockwave spread out from him, a ranged control skill designed to force Yin Chen to reveal himself.

Unfortunately, Xie Huanyue, unaware of the truth behind Yin Chen's soul skill, made a mistake. The shockwave passed right through Yin Chen's body and had no effect whatsoever.

The next moment, Yin Chen flashed and instantly appeared behind Xie Huan Yue.

This time, he raised his right hand, and his soul power was highly condensed and compressed in a peculiar way.

There were no spirit rings shining; this was a self-created spirit skill he had created based on his control over spirit power and airflow—Overpressure Air Blade.

The air around the edge of his palm began to twist and blur violently, as if it were being squeezed and accelerated by an invisible force, forming an extremely thin, almost transparent layer of ultra-high-speed airflow.

The most terrifying aspect of this air blade is not its sharpness, but its ability to strongly "attract" and pull on the air in front of it, causing the target object or energy defense to spontaneously and uncontrollably "crash" towards the sharpest edge of the air blade, just like iron filings attracted by a magnet.

Instead of directly slashing at Xie Huan Yue's bulging, most defensive abdomen, Yin Chen swung his arm, and the overpressure air blade, accompanied by a piercing shriek, slashed at Xie Huan Yue's relatively weak shoulder.

The compressed airflow leaves a clear trail as the blade cuts through the air.
