Background / History

Shiyu awakens the Space Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power and is brought to Shrek City by Song Lingzhen. Director Du admits him to Shrek Academy after recognizing the potential of his pure Space attribute. Seeking an optimal first ring, Shiyu insists on a Space-attribute Soul Beast and absorbs the Soul Ring of a dying Sky Soaring Beast despite its age exceeding the usual first-ring limit. The absorption reveals that he possesses Twin Martial Souls and triggers his first involuntary journey through time. 1 3

His early traversals send him across radically different eras, including ten thousand years in the past and the later East Sea City era. Initially hoping that a modern setting means he has returned to his original world, he instead discovers that he remains on Douluo Continent. He repeatedly states that he would trade his powers for an ordinary life with his family if he could truly return home. 28 29

While stranded in the Spirit Pagoda era, Shiyu fabricates a background as the heir of secluded Title Douluo parents to secure access to the Spirit Ascension Platform. His near-silent Teleportation impresses Vice Tower Master Li and leads to his acceptance into the Spirit Pagoda under Qian Gu Dongfeng. He later obtains a Space-attribute Soul Spirit through the organization, though his association with it also creates tension with Gu Yue and Di Tian. 31 32 47 213 237

At Shrek, Shiyu becomes known for defeating stronger opponents through spatial mobility, prediction, and the Eight Spider Lances. He helps secure reinforcements during the Body Sect crisis, saving Huo Yuhao and others, and serves as a key member of Shrek’s tournament team. His performances include defeating multiple Soul Kings while still a Soul Elder and helping Shrek claim the championship. 137 143 163 188

As his Time Martial Soul develops, Shiyu gains increasing control of Space-Time Travel. He learns to select time nodes, travel toward the future, observe historical opportunities, and eventually decide whether to enter a Space-Time Tunnel at all. His journeys expose him to ancient wars, the Abyssal Plane, distant future interstellar conflicts, and futures in which the Douluo and Dragon God Realms have been destroyed. 260 374 524 577 582

Personality

Shiyu is pragmatic, secretive, and highly adaptive. He readily creates false identities, gathers resources from unfamiliar eras, and avoids revealing information that could expose his origins or abilities. His caution is especially apparent when he refuses to test dangerous spatial rifts without preparation and when he avoids direct confrontation with opponents he cannot decisively defeat. 29 31 190 275

Despite his ambition for strength, Shiyu values ordinary life and family more than immortality or godhood. He also demonstrates loyalty toward people who have helped him: he expresses genuine gratitude to the Spirit Pagoda, returns to Shrek Academy to see his companions, and repeatedly aids Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao, and Bibi Dong. 29 143 235 423 480

His methods can be ruthless when he sees an opportunity or threat. He harvests rare treasures, loots Abyssal tribes, kills hostile Soul Masters, and steals battleships during the interstellar war. Even so, he distinguishes between enemies he considers necessary to fight and people he believes have not wronged him. 98 262 352 527 529

Abilities & Skills

Space Martial Soul

Shiyu’s primary Martial Soul grants unusually refined control over Space. Its core combat advantage is instantaneous, near-silent Teleportation that opponents generally cannot predict or interrupt at comparable levels. 31 35 52

• Teleports without needing to activate a conventional Soul Skill or visibly charge power. 35
• Can repeatedly reposition during combat, attack from blind spots, and cover enormous travel distances. 93 147
• Swaps positions with another target or object through his Substitution Skill. 35 129
• Can immobilize opponents through direct spatial control; after a traversal, he can restrain Soul Ancestors without releasing his Martial Soul. 262
• Uses spatial power for levitation, rapid forest movement, and long-distance travel. 94 165
• Spatial perception expands to a passive ten-thousand-meter radius after his seventh-ring evolution. 400
• Powerful attacks that destabilize Space can delay or hinder his Teleportation, while sealed space can cut off his escape routes. 377 385

Spatial Domain

His Fourth Soul Skill creates a localized spatial barrier that separates its interior from the outside world. 244

• Traps targets within a special spatial zone.
• Absorbs and accumulates attacks launched inside the domain.
• Redirects the stored attacks back at their original user. 221

Time Martial Soul

Shiyu’s second Martial Soul manifests as Time power and is the source of his growing control over Space-Time Travel. It first appears when his initial Space Soul Ring resonates with an unknown energy. 3

• Its first Soul Ring originates from the Time-Space Butterfly and grants Time Rewind. 385
• Its second Soul Skill, Illusory Intertwine, temporarily removes him from the current Timeline, causing attacks to pass through an afterimage rather than his true body. 385
• Grants precognition that improves his ability to judge and evade dangerous attacks. 263
• Enables a Time Domain that accelerates recovery and cultivation; seven days of healing within the domain take slightly over eight hours outside. 509
• By his third Time Soul Ring, he can travel as far as eighty thousand years into the past. 482
• By his second Time ring, he can choose between past- and future-directed routes within the Space-Time Tunnel. 374
• By his seventh Time ring, he can freely choose whether to enter a newly opened Space-Time Tunnel. 582

Space-Time Travel

Soul Ring absorption repeatedly triggers Shiyu’s travel through Space-Time Tunnels, initially without his consent. Later, he learns to cooperate with the process and select destinations. 3 91 260

• Early traversals transport him unpredictably to different historical periods or future eras. 28 91
• He eventually gains the ability to choose a time node and observe scenes from the past. 260
• Can travel to future timelines as well as the past. 374
• Travels between Douluo Continent and the Abyssal Plane through the Abyss Tunnel. 352
• Gains insights into Space Rules during travel, though his resonance with Time Rules is initially weaker. 291 326

Eight Spider Lances

Shiyu possesses the Eight Spider Lances External Soul Bone, which he uses as his principal close-range weapon when conserving Soul Power. 163

• Launches sudden multi-directional stabbing attacks after Teleportation. 163
• Injects poison into pierced targets and can draw poison from them. 163
• Allows him to pressure and defeat stronger opponents through mobility and attrition. 163 188
• The lances can be damaged by Divine Artifacts; Tang Mingxuan’s Dragon Slaying Saber leaves them cracked. 393

Soul Bone Skills

Shiyu demonstrates two powerful offensive Soul Bone skills: Leopard Shadow Claw and Leopard Shadow Cage Kill. 192

• Leopard Shadow Claw — assessed by elders as comparable to a Soul Emperor’s sixth Soul Skill. 192
• Leopard Shadow Cage Kill — can overwhelm a Soul King. 192

Martial Soul Avatar

After absorbing his enhanced seventh Spirit Ring, Shiyu gains a Martial Soul Avatar and undergoes a major leap in spatial control. 400

• Greatly improves his endurance and spatial perception.
• Lets him perceive the surrounding area within ten thousand meters without conscious effort. 400

Physical Recovery and Body Tempering

Shiyu’s physique is unusually resilient and continues to improve through powerful Soul Rings, treasures, and bloodline-related gains. 347 421

• Withstands the energy of a 90,000-year Soul Ring over a two-hour absorption. 347
• Recovers severe injuries within an hour with the Life Evergreen and his natural regeneration. 287
• His blood can stabilize Bibi Dong during the dangerous absorption of a Million-Year Soul Ring. 421

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• God-tier Mechas — four mechas stored in a Storage Soul Tool; all recognize Shiyu as their master. 396
• Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd — used for ultra-long-distance movement and in battle against Tang Mingxuan. 393 396
• Dragon Slaying Saber — a Divine Artifact whose power is suppressed by Tang Mingxuan’s Dragon God Power. 393
• Nine Heavens Diagram of the Universe — used to transfer a captured battleship into the Dragon Valley Undead World and escape a God-level attack. 527
• Hundred-Thousand-Year Space-attribute Soul Bone — awarded by Shrek Academy after the tournament. 190
• Storage Soul Tools — used to carry Soul Tools, Soul Spirits, books, mechas, and gathered resources. 46 291 396
• Dragon Valley Undead World — a minor world used to store major assets, including stolen battleships and collected bodies. 524 527 529

Relationships

• Song Lingzhen — benefactor who brings Shiyu to Shrek City, helps enroll him at Shrek Academy, and vouches for him during his first Soul Ring acquisition. 2 3
• Qian Gu Dongfeng — Shiyu’s Spirit Pagoda teacher; supports his request for an expensive 50,000-year Space-attribute Soul Spirit. 213 214
• Huo Yuhao — Shrek peer; their early conflicts fade after Shiyu seeks reinforcements during the Body Sect attack, saving Huo Yuhao’s life. 143 395
• Zhang Lexuan — senior sister and sparring partner; she acknowledges Shiyu’s victory after his Third Soul Skill gives him decisive offensive power. 113
• Jiang Nannan — close companion who is openly happy to see Shiyu after his absences and remains close despite their widening cultivation gap. 396 428 480
• Ma Xiaotao — Shrek companion whom Shiyu helps treat with the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower; they later spend significant time together. 143 482
• King Kong — Bimon Beast companion contracted and awakened by Shiyu; protects him during his 90,000-year Soul Ring absorption. 178 347
• Bibi Dong — ally from an earlier era; Shiyu helps her absorb a Million-Year Soul Ring and agrees to assist her plan to unify the continent under conditions intended to protect her future. 421 423
• Gu Yue — wary counterpart who doubts Shiyu’s background and considers ambushing him, but ultimately does not act. 213 235
• Tang San — increasingly hostile figure who seeks information on Shiyu after learning of his anomalous talent and disappearance. 395 436
