Displaying Space, the Insignificance of Douluo Star

["Bang," "clang-clang," "ding-ding-clang."

Qian Renxue had been sparring with the mysterious man before her for quite some time. During that period, he had defeated her many times, but the problem was that he had always held back, and often stopped at the point of contact.

"It seems your training has gone rather well. You've now gained a preliminary grasp of martial techniques."

That was what the mysterious man said.

"You've been holding back all along, haven't you? You have four swords behind your back. If you were serious, you should be using all four instead of just one. Why have you chosen to help me? And what is your purpose in telling me all this?"

Qian Renxue did not understand why the person before her was helping her, training her, and telling her so many things. What exactly was his purpose? Could he be someone from the God Realm?]

"The mysterious man before us knows so much. I suspect he may truly be connected to the God Realm. Even if he is not from the God Realm, he could be a servant of a god in the lower realm."

Qian Daoliu voiced his opinion.

"Uncle Sword, what do you think of that mysterious man's swordsmanship? I feel like it doesn't seem inferior to yours."

As Ning Fengzhi watched the scene playing on the Sky Screen, he felt that the mysterious man's swordsmanship seemed to be on the same level as Sword Douluo's.

"Fengzhi, I can tell you clearly that this man has not gotten serious. He is only treating this as play. He has not shown Qian Renxue his true swordsmanship at all; he is merely teaching her the basic ways to use a sword. But even so, his swordsmanship is still stronger than mine."

"Are you sure?"

"I am absolutely certain that this man's swordsmanship is stronger than mine—perhaps even stronger than my father's."

"...Then why is this man helping Qian Renxue? Could they have some sort of connection?"

"I don't know. Let's keep watching."

["The reason I'm helping you is because there are things you need to do now. For example, clearing out the Abyss invasion and those lackeys who have sided with the Abyss."

That was what the mysterious man said.

"Then who exactly are these lackeys? How should I deal with them?"

"You should know some of them. When you meet certain people among them, you may remember something."

"And now, you've gained some tactical skill. Continue honing it slowly in the future. Oh, and those Abyss Monsters are no pushovers. Be careful. They all possess special abilities. For instance, the Ancient One Body can leave Douluo Star and travel into Space, where it can survive."

"Space?" Qian Renxue was utterly confused upon hearing that. What was Space? It was something she had never known about.

"To put it simply, the world we live in is a sphere, a planet. All kinds of races live upon this sphere. The Abyss is a world formed from energy, inhabited by many races. Calling it an energy-based planet would be close enough, though using a planet as a comparison is not entirely appropriate. It would be more accurate to call it an energy-based world."

"As for why they invaded Douluo Continent, no one currently knows how they even found Douluo Continent. Beyond a planet lies Space. There is no air in Space; only god-level powerhouses can travel through it."

"You are not yet qualified to travel through Space. Shall I show you what Space is?"

The moment the mysterious man finished speaking and demonstrated Space, the surrounding area changed. Qian Renxue discovered that she seemed to be standing in some sort of air—no, perhaps it was not air. She was in a pitch-black world, surrounded by countless spheres.

"This is Space. The one beside us is Douluo Star."

"This is Space..." At that moment, Qian Renxue felt as though her entire worldview was about to collapse.]

"So we live on a sphere."

The Heaven Dou Emperor was Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo. At that moment, he could not believe what he was seeing. He had always thought the world was vast, but it was only a sphere, and they lived upon that sphere.

"I truly feel that the struggle between the two great empires is meaningless. In the future, we may even face invasions from other civilizations, yet we are still fighting among ourselves."

Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, voiced his thoughts. At that moment, he had begun to look down on the conflict between the two great empires. He had once believed their struggle was for the unification of Douluo Continent, something glorious. But now, it seemed truly laughable.

"Prince Xue Xing, if you truly care about the future of the Heaven Dou Empire, you should reform it. If the Heaven Dou Empire continues like this, it will only perform worse and worse in battle against the Abyss. If you want to resist the Abyss, then at the very least, make the entire Heaven Dou Empire as battle-ready as the Star Luo Empire. Turning it into a military state would work as well."

Dugu Bo stated his view.

"Don't joke, Mister Dugu. The Heaven Dou Empire is not decided by our royal family alone. Many other nobles also have a say. As you know, the Heaven Dou royal family is merely the strongest among the noble houses, but that does not mean we can control everything in the Heaven Dou Empire."

Prince Xue Xing spoke the truth as well. To put it bluntly, the Heaven Dou royal family was merely the strongest of all noble houses, but that did not mean it alone had the final say in the Heaven Dou Empire. After all, ruling such vast territory still required the assistance of other nobles.

Therefore, the entire Heaven Dou Empire was not ruled by the royal family, but by the collective interest groups of the nobility. If the Xue family could no longer bring value to those noble interest groups, they too would be abandoned. Those interest groups might even directly defect to the Star Luo Empire.

Elsewhere, Yu Xiaogang stared at Space and could not believe his eyes. He had once thought the world was enormous, but now it seemed that the world was actually very small—and he himself was small as well.

"I need to quickly write a theory about Space. That way, I will surely become an outstanding master."

"Xiaogang, I think we still know far too little about Space. We should not write about it yet. The most important thing now is to find Tang San and Tang Hao, then overthrow Spirit Hall."

At that moment, Bibi Dong had made up her mind to nurture Tang San. Twin Martial Souls—when the time came, having two Titled Douluo with Twin Martial Souls fight Spirit Hall together would surely make things much easier. Moreover, she was also someone undergoing a god's trial.
