Soul land 3- Time Traveller

An Old Friend

         A monitor was recording was displaying Tang Wulin's movements in the Spirit ascension platform. Leng Yaozhu wanted to see how good Tang Wulin was as she knew he was her disciple's little crush. So she investigated him and found out that Shrek placed great importance on him.

     But she just witnessed left her utterly speechless. Tang Wulin just took down a duskgold dreadclaw bear single handedly, in one strike. He also tanked its attack so casually. And that precise control over those strange vines was able to render the bear completely immobile.

'This kid just one shotted a the ten thousand year old duskgold dreadclaw bear!', was what she thought. It was possible for a three ring soul elder, but to do it in one strike was unheard of. After all, it was called the Earth renderer for a reason.

      Tang Wulin, didn't stop there. He easily trecked into the forest, defeating every soul beast coming his way. Even if his soul power and strength was low, his battle instincts were extremely sharp. So it wasn't too hard for him.

"I got a fair idea of my current strength. And my control over blue silver emperor is also smooth. But the lack of speed is annoying ", Tang Wulin evaluated.

"That's because you are too used to your speed in your prime state. So it will be hard to get used to ", Jin said. He seemed to like observing the doulou continent now that he is finally gotten rid of his madness. He was really fascinated by the modern age developments.

     Tang Wulin nodded. He also understood this. That's why constantly used Ghost Shadow Perplexing steps to speed up, but it was still lacking for him.

"Wulin...", a hesitant yet serious voice of Tang San was heard. "Did you, by any chance, travel back in time?".

     This question startled him. Wulin actually wanted to let Tang San know, but he wasn't sure how it may affect the timeline. So he hesitated. "How did you find out?"

"I guessed it, ever since you suddenly broke through divine origin and broke down to spirit domain. The Sea God Trident acknowledging you, your knowledge of me and the abyssal plane, and also your pride. The pride of a God was evident in front of me, no matter how you hid it ", Tang San, or old Tang, said with a smile.

"I'm sorry father. I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know if it may change the timeline too much ", Tang Wulin said, bowing down, within his mental sea.

"I understand why. Don't bow. And I am proud, that you were able to achieve such a feat. Even though I am no stranger to rebirth, turning back time is something even I can't do", Tang San said. This was the first time, Tang Wulin called his spirit imprint, Father, which brought extreme joy for Tang San. After all, even as a split soul, it did hurt him when his son didn't address him as such.

"You are as sharp as ever, Asura God", Jin's begrudging voice came again. "And brat, don't think too much, it won't matter whether or not you tell him, after all, he's not here. Also, mystery of time element is something you can never fully grasp. Even the slightest ripple can cause a great tidal wave in the flow of time. So a change is inevitable. Also,  by now his real body may have also figured out the variation in the timeline. A God-king's foresight is nothing to scoff at".

     Wulin nodded and walked on. He couldn't help but be amazed at his father's deduction.

"But why did you do it? It not only got you lose your strength, but also broke down your mental strength. If it wasn't for the support of the Trident and my mental imprint, your mental sea may have collapsed even more"  Tang San said seriously.

"He did it subconsciously, Asura God. As for why he did it, he wanted to save his beloved ", Jin said with a grin. Hearing this comment, Tang San was taken aback while Tang Wulin blushed hard. He honestly wanted to punch his predecessor right now for spilling the beans.
