Chapter 17: Comprehending Time Techniques... Father’s Move?
Kranos stared ahead in disbelief. It had actually worked—a single blade of grass had slowed down. For a moment, he thought it was just his imagination, but he knew he wasn't mistaken. Just then, a new line of text appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations on comprehending the basic level of your first time-based technique: Slow. With this ability, you can slow down time for 0.1 seconds. As your comprehension increases, so will the duration of the effect. Usage cost: 10 Time Points.]
AAfter reading the message, Kranos took a deep breath. His guess had been right—he had truly comprehended something! He felt elated inwardly, he decided to use the technique several more times to increase his proficiency in the technique.
He fixed his gaze on the same blade of grass and began the first step: linking his Time Orb to the temporal field around it. That part was completed quickly. He then moved on to the second step, but after several minutes, a frown appeared on his face. The difficulty of using the ability hadn't decreased in the slightest
Confused, he immediately pulled up the system panel.
[Time points: 4900.]
However In the next instant, he was stunned. His time points were decreasing with each use, yet the technique wasn't taking effect. What was going on? Kranos stopped using the ability and began thinking deeply.
According to the information from the system, as my comprehension of the time ability increases, the duration of the technique also improves. But if that's true, why isn't it activating? There's only one possible explanation... Could it be because of my low cultivation? Because I only have one Time Orb?
He considered the possibility. If I had a second orb, my control over the time field surrounding the blade of grass would increase significantly. The idea seemed plausible. Kranos calmed himself and decided not to dwell on it. Instead, he began recalling several other time-based techniques from his previous life, hoping to comprehend them as well.
