Time is Supreme, Space is King (Seeking Follow-ups, Follow-ups are Important)

"Uncle Cixue, Uncle Shelong, I'm going to visit Xia Wuyou now, but for safety's sake, I'll trouble you two to wait outside for me."

As a subtle shift occurred in Qian Renxue's heart, she left the teahouse and headed toward Yanhuang Academy.

"Time and Space Attribute Spirits..."

"Sigh, Cixue (Snake Lance), tell me—how can the gap between people be this huge?"

"Compared to Xia Wuyou, we're worse than dogs!"

After Qian Renxue left the teahouse, Cixue and Snake Lance, still in their private room, couldn't help feeling bitter.

They had both clawed their way up from countless soul masters to become powerhouses, only barely touching the threshold of Title Douluo past their sixties, and now any further progress would cost them their lives.

But when they saw Xia Wuyou, so young, not only a Seven-Ring Spirit Saint with a Three Purple Three Black One Red soul ring configuration but also possessing Time and Space Attribute Spirits, it made their lifelong efforts look like a joke.

The scene shifted. Still in the teahouse's private room, Ning Fengzhi stared at Xia Wuyou with a look of shock, as if beholding a unique and peerless treasure.

"Martial Soul Avatar, Eye of Time and Space?"

"Time and space, time and space—what an Eye of Time and Space."

"This Xia Wuyou's spirit is actually Time and Space Attribute!"

"Uncle Sword, your judgment was correct!"

"This Lord Xia Wuyou is definitely not from Martial Soul Hall!"

The more Ning Fengzhi spoke, the more excited he became, his voice unconsciously rising. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, and even the hand gripping his walking cane trembled uncontrollably.

The Space Attribute had always been synonymous with invincibility.

And the Time Attribute was something that appeared only once in tens of thousands of years.

Time and space—powers suspected to be mastered only by Deities—made their hearts pound with awe.

Time is supreme, space is king.

The "weight" of that saying kept increasing.

"Time... space... so this child bears dual spirits of Time and Space Attributes. No wonder his soul ring configuration is so formidable."

"Such talent is truly rare in this world."

Even Sword Douluo, a seasoned veteran who had weathered countless storms, couldn't help a look of admiration crossing his face.

Just then, Chen Xin thought of something and sighed.

"Ah! What a pity he already has a family sect!"

"Otherwise, even I would be tempted to take him as my disciple!"

Seeing Xia Wuyou, who possessed the potential for invincibility, Chen Xin couldn't help but let out a sigh.

As the close friend of Bone Douluo Gu Rong, having sparred with him no fewer than a hundred times, he understood all too well the power of a Space Spirit.

To put it bluntly, if he wanted to take down Old Bones in a direct fight, he wasn't even sure of victory himself.

If Gu Rong didn't want to fight and only wanted to flee, even his late father, a ninety-eighth-level Peak Douluo, might not be able to stop him.

Unlike Old Bones, Xia Wuyou's spirit was Time and Space Attribute.

And what was even more terrifying was that Xia Wuyou had already grown into his power.

Not to mention, he likely had a powerful force backing him.

With such an outstanding young man as Xia Wuyou, even though he wasn't a sword spirit user and didn't cultivate the sword path, Chen Xin still couldn't help wanting to take him as a disciple.

Good news: Xia Wuyou wasn't from Martial Soul Hall, he possessed Time and Space Attribute Spirits, and he was a powerful soul master who had already matured—a future ninety-ninth-level Peerless Douluo who could dominate an era was no mere dream.

Bad news: Xia Wuyou had already grown up, was decisive and ruthless, showed no mercy, and was suspected to have a powerful force backing him—one with at least three Title Douluo above level ninety-five.

Just then, Ning Fengzhi thought of something.

"Uncle Sword, based on the current intelligence, that girl Rongrong will be returning to Tiandou City in a while. What do you think—should we arrange for Rongrong to enter Yanhuang Academy?"

The stronger Xia Wuyou was, the more Ning Fengzhi wanted to win him over.

Faced with someone like Xia Wuyou, who had already matured and had a powerful force behind him, forceful methods were clearly not an option.

After much deliberation, the only idea he could come up with was to arrange a match between Xia Wuyou and Ning Rongrong.

Between major powers, mutual interests were certainly stable, but marriage was the "dead knot" that would bind their interests and futures together completely.

He knew well that interest-based cooperation could break at any moment due to greater temptations or crises, but once Xia Wuyou and Ning Rongrong became husband and wife, the force behind Xia Wuyou would become one family with their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Fengzhi, you want Rongrong to marry Xia Wuyou?"

Chen Xin knew Ning Fengzhi well and immediately understood his intent.

Facing Sword Douluo's question, Ning Fengzhi nodded frankly.

"Yes, Uncle Sword, that is indeed my thought. But we'll have to see how things go first. If Rongrong is willing, then this marriage might be possible."

"I am the sect master of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I am also Rongrong's father. I respect her choices and won't use the sect's interests to bind her lifelong happiness."

"Moreover, we don't know Xia Wuyou's stance yet. The force behind him is formidable, and he may not see marriage as a necessary condition for cooperation with our sect."

"For now, I'm just keeping this idea in mind. We'll have to see if the two have any fate, and then discuss it further."

"Besides, Uncle Jian, you know the situation of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We are all auxiliary soul masters with no combat ability whatsoever. If little Rongrong could form a marriage alliance with a powerhouse like Xia Wuyou..."

"Then not only would our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect gain an extra layer of protection and firmly establish our foothold on the continent, but Rongrong would also have a powerful husband to rely on in the future."

Ning Fengzhi, speaking from the heart, felt a wave of helplessness. Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect owed its rise and fall to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul had earned them the reputation as the number one auxiliary on Douluo Continent, yet it also left them perpetually lacking in combat strength, forcing them to rely on soul masters from other clans for protection their entire lives.

Meeting Title Douluo like Gu Rong and Chen Xin, who were reasonable and easy to get along with, was a blessing their sect had cultivated over several lifetimes. But if these two were gone one day, or if they encountered forces with ulterior motives seeking to take advantage of the situation and control the sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't even have the means to resist.

"Fengzhi, whether the sect thrives or not is a burden we all share, not yours alone. Don't be too hard on yourself."

"Although Xia Wuyou has other women, I have to say he is Rongrong's best choice, bar none."

"I have no objection to the marriage alliance between Rongrong and Xia Wuyou. Let the two youngsters take their natural course!"

Chen Xin spoke, both comforting his old friend and offering his own thoughts.

Just as the two of them were discussing the marriage alliance, a change occurred at the entrance of Yanhuang Academy.

At the eerily quiet entrance of Yanhuang Academy, a woman's urgent voice rang out, laced with panic.

"Dean Xia, what are you saying? You're the dean of a senior Soul Master Academy, how can you..."
