Su Chen smiled slightly and said softly, "I've been busy these past few days."
Ye Ningshuang didn't say anything, casually found a seat, then looked at Su Chen and asked, "Are the rumors circulating outside true?"
Su Chen was taken aback, but quickly understood what Ye Ningshuang meant and nodded, "It's true."
Ye Ningshuang's eyes widened. "So it really was you who wiped out the High Antiquity Li Household?"
Su Chen smiled faintly, "How could it be fake?"
Ye Ningshuang asked incredulously, "That's the High Antiquity Li Household! How did you manage that?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "It's just a matter of raising my hand."
Ye Ningshuang's expression froze, and then she fell silent. She didn't think Su Chen was faking it, because she had witnessed Su Chen's strength with her own eyes before.
Above the Immortal Emperor!
It seems plausible that someone at that level could destroy a small, High Antiquity Li Household.
Su Chen suddenly asked, "Are you interested in joining Yingtian Academy?"
Ye Ningshuang froze, "Can... I do it?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Of course."
Ye Ningshuang said, "Alright, but I want to enter Yingtian Academy based on my own abilities. I don't want people to say I got in through connections."
Su Chen smiled slightly, "Whatever you say."
Ye Ningshuang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I'm very curious, how did you manage to break through to that realm?"
Su Chen smiled faintly and said, "Guess."
Ye Ningshuang rolled her eyes. "How could I possibly have guessed?"
She sighed, "Being your fiancée is so stressful."
Su Chen asked, "You want to call off the engagement?"
Ye Ningshuang glared at Su Chen, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to break off our engagement? Although being your fiancée is stressful, I will work hard to cultivate and surpass you sooner or later!"
"Oh?"
Su Chen's lips curled up slightly, "So confident?"
"I..." Ye Ningshuang opened her mouth as if to say something, but after a long time, she couldn't utter a single word. She truly lacked the confidence to surpass Su Chen. After all, Su Chen's strength was too great; how could she possibly catch up with him given her talent for cultivation?
Su Chen then stood up, walked slowly to Ye Ningshuang, and pressed his head close to her face. A hint of panic flashed in Ye Ningshuang's eyes, and she subconsciously turned her head away, but Su Chen reached out and pulled her back.
Su Chen gazed at Ye Ningshuang, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "It's alright. Even if your strength can't surpass mine, I will always protect you and won't let you be in any danger."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningshuang's heart raced, a Hong Yun rose to her cheeks, and her eyes were filled with shyness. "Really... really?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "I swear, if I fail to protect you, I will..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Ningshuang reached out and covered his mouth.
Ye Ningshuang blushed and said, "I believe you, but I don't want to be just a pretty face; I want to protect you too."
Su Chen was slightly taken aback, a touch of emotion stirring within him. A gentle smile curved his lips. "I understand, thank you."
Ye Ningshuang smiled, but then her eyes dimmed slightly. "But I know my talent for cultivation; I'm afraid even if I try my whole life, I won't be able to reach your level."
Su Chen reached out and patted Ye Ningshuang's head. "It's alright, I have a way."
Ye Ningshuang looked up at Su Chen, stunned for a long time before finally asking, "What method?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "Would you like to learn the Dao of Space-Time?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ningshuang was taken aback at first, then asked in confusion, " The Dao of Space-Time?"
Su Chen didn't explain further, but instead turned to look at a bamboo stalk in the distance, about the size of a bucket. He pointed at it with his long, slender finger, and the space around the bamboo began to compress, subjecting it to immense pressure. As the space shrank, the bamboo was instantly crushed into powder.
Ye Ningshuang's pupils dilated, her face filled with shock as she exclaimed, "What kind of technique is this?"
Su Chen smiled and said, "This is the Dao of Space-Time."
Ye Ningshuang asked, puzzled, " The Dao of Space-Time?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, if you completely master time and space in the future, you will be able to reverse time, stop time, and launch attacks using the power of spacetime. Even predicting the future is not impossible."
Ye Ningshuang's heart raced, and she couldn't hide her excitement. "So amazing? Will it be difficult to learn this?"
Su Chen smiled and said, " The Dao of Space-Time is like a phantom in the mist to others, difficult to grasp, but to you, it is incredibly simple and easily understood."
Ye Ningshuang was stunned. "Why?"
Su Chen said, "Because you have a special physique called the Space-Time Divine Physique. The core ability of the Space-Time Divine Physique lies in its comprehension of time and space, which far surpasses that of ordinary people."
Ye Ningshuang was stunned upon hearing this. "Do I have such an amazing physique? But why have I never noticed it from childhood to adulthood?"
Su Chen said, "If you could find out, I would be the one who's shocked."
Ye Ningshuang: "..."
Su Chen said, "Alright, I'll activate your Space-Time Divine Physique now."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and light gathered in his palm, like the shimmering moonlight, which in an instant burst forth like the blazing sun, fiery and dazzling.
Su Chen's robes fluttered in the wind, his hair danced wildly, and he looked like a god descended to earth, exuding boundless pressure.
He took a step forward, and the space, unable to bear the weight, emitted a low hum and distorted ripples. The light in his palm spread towards Ye Ningshuang, and the moment the light touched Ye Ningshuang, her body trembled violently, and she was then enveloped in a dazzling halo.
In Ye Ningshuang's eyes, dazzling light and strange spatial fluctuations were reflected, and within her body, something seemed to be slowly being awakened.
A moment later, an incredibly terrifying spatial power suddenly erupted from Ye Ningshuang's body. This spatial power enveloped her, and her aura began to rise steadily. In an instant, her realm broke through to the Immortal Sovereign First Layer!
Ye Ningshuang felt a powerful and profound force surging within her body. More importantly, she could clearly perceive the surrounding space distorting and folding under her consciousness.
Su Chen nodded and said, "That's right."
He extended a finger and touched Ye Ningshuang's brow. Ye Ningshuang immediately felt a memory that did not belong to her merge into her own. It took her a full hour to digest it.
Su Chen said, "What I just taught you was my understanding of the Dao of Space-Time, as well as some attack techniques. You can slowly comprehend them when you have time."
Ye Ningshuang didn't speak, but stared at Su Chen.
Su Chen smiled faintly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Ningshuang said, "I'm wondering if you are the reincarnation of a peerless expert."
Su Chen laughed and said, "Even a peerless expert reincarnated can't compare to me?"
Ye Ningshuang was speechless for a moment, then finally said, "It seems so."
She paused briefly, then said, "Thank you."
