"This..." Jiang Nannan covered her mouth in surprise, unable to understand how this was done.
Many people were curious, and there was much discussion about it.
"This person didn't use any soul skills, nor did they show any energy fluctuations from their soul bone. How did they manage to teleport?"
Many people don't understand how Shi Yu did it. Teleportation is not hard to understand, but teleporting without using a soul skill is hard to understand.
Even Mu En, who was sitting there leisurely, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Clearly, even someone with his level of cultivation hadn't anticipated that Shi Yu's use of teleportation would be so different.
"This requires an extremely refined level of spatial control," Moon murmured to himself.
The surrounding people gasped in surprise, which spurred Xu Sanshi, the person involved, to realize that the more amazing the other party's performance was, the more foolish he appeared.
Xu Sanshi's face darkened, and without a word, he charged towards Shi Yu again.
This time, halfway through the journey, his first spirit ring flashed and lit up, and his first spirit skill, Xuanming Zhen, was activated.
Shi Yu's attention was focused on Xu Sanshi, so he naturally saw him use his soul skill.
I had been thinking about what Xu Sanshi's soul skills were before, and I had a basic understanding of his first soul skill.
This skill is an area-of-effect skill, its main effect is to knock back enemies, but it also has a stun effect on Soul Masters whose Soul Power level is lower than yours.
Unfortunately, his soul power was lower than his opponent's, so the consequences of being stunned by his opponent were predictable.
With a thought, Shi Yu rapidly activated the spatial soul power within his body, causing him to disappear from his original spot and reappear nearly twenty meters away from his previous location, further widening the distance between him and Xu Sanshi.
This was the maximum distance he could travel in one spatial teleportation, 90% shorter than the distance he traveled to ten thousand years ago.
He didn't know the reason, only that after returning, his control over space and time had been greatly reduced.
It seems that the time and space powers I possessed when I traveled back ten thousand years have been enhanced.
Otherwise, it would be unrealistic for a Soul Master of only a dozen levels like him to last so long against a Soul Saint like Zhao Wuji.
Even with his power over space and time, it's not an easy thing.
His original strength had vanished upon his return, which left him somewhat disappointed.
It's worth mentioning that Shi Yu's soul power reached level fourteen after absorbing the soul ring.
He is currently at level sixteen. The two extra levels are related to the Nine-Heart Begonia he consumed and the external soul bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider he absorbed.
The Nine-Heart Begonia mainly brought about changes to his body, providing very little soul power, probably only around half a level.
The remaining level one and a half were all provided by the external soul bones of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Those who got close to Shi Yu quickly retreated to create distance, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire.
Seeing that Shi Yu had created distance, Xu Sanshi forcibly controlled the release of his soul skill, choosing to close the distance before releasing it.
Shi Yu moved continuously, left and right, his position fluctuating, making it difficult for Xu Sanshi to lock onto him.
His soul skill had reached a point where he had no choice but to unleash it, so he could only release it towards Shi Yu's current location.
With a "thud," the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield crashed to the ground, sending an energy shockwave toward Shi Yu.
Shi Yu once again used his spatial powers to disappear from his original spot, creating a distance of twenty meters.
They were still affected by the shockwave, but only staggered back a few steps. They were not seriously injured or dizzy.
Some trainees, however, were unable to retreat in time and were knocked to the ground, looking even more disheveled than Shi Yu, who was being targeted.
"Is all you can do is hide? Are you even a man?" Xu Sanshi picked up his shield and angrily rebuked Shi Yu, disgusted by the other man.
"In battle, one must play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses. My soul power cultivation is inferior to yours, my attack power is lacking, and my defense is far inferior to yours, making it difficult for me to harm you."
"What else can I do if I don't hide in this situation?" Shi Yu retorted.
I don't think there's anything shameful about dodging like this. I don't have any powerful attack methods yet, so why should I dodge? I can't fight someone else's strength with my weaknesses.
That would be pure idiocy. He may not be a brilliant genius, but he doesn't want to be a stupid fool.
Some people nodded secretly, agreeing with what Shi Yu said. He was two spirit rings behind Xu Sanshi, so it was only right for him to avoid him.
Even Mu En, who was lying there, agreed with what Shi Yu said and glanced at Shi Yu with a hint of surprise, clearly surprised by his fresh perspective.
His evasive maneuver was the most correct response, and he evaded it very well, making full use of his own advantages, which earned him excellent praise.
Xu Sanshi cursed, trying to provoke Shi Yu.
Being insulted is definitely unpleasant, but Shi Yu didn't retaliate. He simply said:
"You still have one more chance. If you still can't defeat me, then don't bother Nannan anymore. You're not worthy."
"If I'm not qualified, then you're even less qualified," Xu Sanshi said emotionally.
Clearly, Shi Yu's words were far more hurtful than a direct insult, causing Xu Sanshi to break down.
"The agreement was for three moves, but you've been teleporting non-stop, so you've probably exceeded three moves. Since it's been three moves for both of you, you should be considered to have lost," a voice rang out.
Xu Sanshi, who was furious and about to make a move, paused for the moment and looked at the person who had spoken. It was Bei Bei.
Shi Yu also looked over, and the person who spoke stepped forward, not afraid that he would know that it was him speaking. Instead, he stared directly at him, looking as if he was going to stand up for Xu Sanshi.
"Who is this?" Shi Yu wondered, not recognizing the person.
"Excuse me, our agreement was that Xu Sanshi would defeat me within three moves, not that I would have to make a certain number of moves."
"I've been dodging the whole time. You can think of my teleportation as me taking a step. Does taking a step count as making a move?"
"If that's the case, then Xu Sanshi has taken dozens of steps, more than me, and he was the first to start. So he would have lost long ago," Shi Yu retorted.
"Are teleportation and taking a step the same concept?" Beibei questioned.
"It's the same concept," Shi Yu nodded seriously, then took a step forward, instantly moving five or six meters.
Then he took another step back and returned to his previous position.
"Isn't this just one step?" Shi Yu asked Bei Bei again.
Surprise flashed in Bei Bei's eyes. This was the first time she had seen someone use teleportation so casually, especially since it was done by a Soul Master who was only a dozen or so levels high.
He fell silent, unsure how to refute the other person's statement.
Those watching the battle, being somewhat knowledgeable, recognized Shi Yu's formidable skill.
"I think this is fine," Jiang Nannan said, speaking up for Shi Yu.
"I think so too," many people echoed, not out of respect for Jiang Nannan, but because they genuinely believed it.
The "three moves agreement" does not mean that you can only take three steps.
"I really don't believe I can't defeat you!" Xu Sanshi said angrily, no longer wanting to listen to idle talk.
His third spirit ring lit up, and the power of Xuanming was activated.
Water appeared around Shi Yu, and this water was dark in color. It squeezed him and affected the circulation of his soul power.
