RNP Chapter 30 "Time Control"
Chapter 30 "Time Control"
Without directly explaining soul skill power to Electrolux, Jiang Ci'an raised his hand, his soul power drawing a small pebble from the ground into his palm, and then casually tossed it away.
The pebble flew out, drawing an arc in mid-air, and then the deep purple soul ring beside Jiang Ci'an lit up.
in an instant,
The pebble remained suspended in mid-air.
It wasn't blocked by any force or supported by any energy; it simply came to a real stop.
Even the tiny fragments that broke off as the pebbles flew were frozen in the air, as if time had been paused at that moment.
Electrolux looked at the pebble hovering in mid-air, slightly surprised.
"Time stopped?"
Jiang Ci'an nodded, but did not stop moving.
He raised his palm again, grasped the pebble lightly, and then gently turned it as if turning an invisible knob.
Instantly, the pebble began to reverse its trajectory, little by little, and landed back in his palm.
Electrolux's eyes lit up with curiosity.
"Time travel?"
Jiang Ci'an nodded, but his movements did not stop.
He raised his hand again and threw the pebble.
Just like before, the pebble traced an arc in mid-air.
At the same time, the spirit ring beside Jiang Ci'an shone brightly once again.
This time, the pebble that had been flying through the air suddenly sped up!
The distance that would have taken several seconds to reach the ground was covered in an instant. It landed on the ground with a "thud," bounced twice, and then fell silent.
Electrolux looked even more surprised.
He looked at Jiang Ci'an, then his gaze fell on the deep purple spirit ring beside him, his eyes full of inquiry.
"There's also time acceleration?"
Jiang Ci'an nodded, withdrew his hand, and spoke calmly:
"My second soul skill is called 'Time Control,' which allows me to control the flow of time. Specifically, it can be used to stop time, rewind time, and speed up or slow down time."
"However, due to the limitations of my soul power, mental power, and level, my ability to interfere with the outside world is currently weak, and I can only affect some non-living entities."
"As for myself, there are relatively fewer restrictions, and I can allocate my own time to a certain extent."
Electrolux listened, remained silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask a question.
"In your world, is it possible to wield a power as easily as you do?"
Jiang Ci'an paused slightly, realizing that Electrolux had misunderstood, and shook his head.
"That's not the case."
He thought for a moment, then carefully said:
"Generally, when a Soul Master acquires a Soul Skill, the formation of the Soul Skill depends on their Martial Soul and their personal ideas. The effects are mostly relatively simple, and there are also limitations to acquiring Soul Skills."
"For example, a Soul Master with a pure fire-attribute Martial Soul will never be able to gain time-related abilities by absorbing a Soul Ring. Even if they specifically hunt Soul Beasts with time attributes and try to absorb their Soul Rings, they will fail to absorb them because the attributes are incompatible."
"Even if a Soul Master with a Time-attribute Martial Soul absorbs the Soul Ring of this mutant Medusa, they will most likely only gain the ability of 'Time Stop' and will not have any other effects."
"My martial soul is special, so I'm considered an exception."
His "world modulation mode" is quite unique.
When he received "Indifference", he didn't feel anything special because it was the first time.
However, after absorbing the spirit ring for the second time and obtaining "Time Control", he was able to roughly perceive the special nature of his own martial spirit.
To give an example, if someone absorbs a spirit ring, it means they are adding an external ability to their martial spirit.
So, when he absorbs a spirit ring, it's more like he's using the spirit ring as a key to activate the abilities that already exist within his own martial soul.
Moreover, as he activates more abilities, his original abilities also continue to strengthen.
For example, after obtaining "Time Control", his original "Indifference" and "X-ray vision" have been enhanced.
Like a jigsaw puzzle, each spirit ring is a fragment, which combine and stimulate each other to gradually make the whole picture complete.
He had a premonition.
If one's first soul ring is a mutant Medusa, then the soul skill gained would probably just be a simple "time stop".
Only when he obtains his second spirit ring will the original "Time Stop" naturally transform into the more complete "Time Control".
This is the uniqueness of his martial spirit, making it one of a kind.
It is precisely because of this uniqueness that his soul skills are more open to development and evolution.
Electrolux listened, his eyes thoughtful.
"Is that so...?"
He paused for a moment, then shook his head and continued speaking.
Even if you are just an isolated case, the Soul Master system of your world still has its advantages.
"In other worlds, whether it is magic or combat skills, they all need to be learned, practiced and honed little by little. Some advanced skills may even take years or decades to master."
"But you only need to absorb one soul ring to master it, which will save you a lot of time."
"Furthermore, you can still acquire certain abilities that are impossible to master under normal circumstances by absorbing spirit rings."
"If we could edit the soul rings and soul skills, freely creating the soul skills within them, then many abilities that are difficult to learn and have no successors could be passed down..."
Electrox's golden eyes reflected the deep purple spirit ring, his gaze showing no sign of disappointment, but rather a strong sense of anticipation.
"Interesting, truly interesting..."
Electrolux murmured, lost in thought.
Jiang Ci'an watched without any intention of disturbing him.
He believed in the scientific research capabilities of someone who had conducted in-depth research on the Soul Master system in the original timeline and even managed to create a Martial Soul by hand before disappearing.
Well, when we get back, we can prepare some materials for Elder Yi and share with him the information he obtained from Xiao Wu regarding spirit rings and spirit bones.
Now, he wants to go home first and then try out his "Time Control" in the virtual world to see just how powerful it is.
He is very much looking forward to it.
Just as Jiang Ci'an was about to use the access Electrolux had given him to open the door and go home, he suddenly remembered something, and the spatial coordinates shifted slightly, pointing to another location.
After a while.
On a lush, green meadow, Jiang Ci'an stepped out from a gray door that appeared out of nowhere.
As soon as Jiang Ci'an stepped out the door, he smelled a sweet, fishy odor in the air.
Look up and look ahead.
There, a dark purple miasma, like a silent behemoth, lurked deep within the forest.
The poisonous miasma surged, and one could vaguely see the scattered remains of many soul beasts, large and small, scattered here and there. Some had weathered into white fragments, while others still had dried flesh and blood, which looked particularly eerie against the backdrop of the poisonous miasma.
The Seven Deadly Poisons of Azure Phosphorus Flower Formation.
Deep within this poisonous array lies the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, which nurtures numerous immortal herbs.
Jiang Ci'an calmly observed the poisonous miasma but made no further move.
With Elder Yi's help, along with the undead creatures in the undead demiplane, it wouldn't be difficult for him to ignore the poisonous miasma and enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
The only slightly troublesome thing is the few immortal herbs that are hundreds of thousands of years old.
But he did not come here today to go in.
He just wanted to check in.
Or perhaps, to hide this place.
