Xu Ran was particularly surprised.

Although Zhu Yuheng had similar premonitions before, he still felt unexpected when it truly happened.

Absorbing the profound energy contained in the Time Gem could grant a brand-new, unique ability independent of the Root Bone?

This is akin to an extra Heaven-Gifted Divine Technique, isn't it?

Or is it comparable to Xu Ran's self-created Divine Skill?

It's a bit beyond comprehension.

He once spent a period of five or six years, spending five or six hours daily soaking in the library, absorbing the nourishment of knowledge amidst the rustling of book pages. It could be said he read through all the volumes, and with his increasing High-level Comprehension, his depth of knowledge was terrifying.

However.

He still had never witnessed a situation like Zhu Yuheng's—human history had no such records! Even Xu Ran, who spent all day engrossed in books, never encountered such a peculiar situation.

What on earth is the principle?

Gaining a new ability by absorbing the mysterious power of the Time Gem?

Skill Stone?

At this moment.

While Xu Ran was pondering.

Beside Xu Ran, Tiger Girl, with her golden eyes dazzling, shook off her previous fatigue and excitedly clutched Xu Ran's arm: "Yu Heng sister, you haven't said, what ability did you obtain! Brother Ran, could this be another form of Celestial Punishment of the Time Root Bone?"

Tiger Girl likes to get to the point.

If there's anything she doesn't understand, she asks directly.

Unlike Xu Ran, who enjoys the fun of pondering.

The rest of the team, like Tiger Girl, asked directly.

Tang Chichi leaned in: "Yes, indeed. What ability did you get from the Time Gem?"

Ningshuang nodded slightly: "Yeah, what kind of ability? Can it rival the captain's self-created Divine Skill?"

Everyone was full of curiosity, eagerly watching the astonished Zhu Yuheng, waiting for an exact explanation.

Under the curious gaze of everyone, Zhu Yuheng weakly explained: "After I absorbed all the energy from the Time Gem, I gained an entirely different ability—to temporarily accelerate or reverse the time of an object or living being."

In Zhu Yuheng's blue eyes, there was a hint of delight. The three-ton Time Gem caused her sleepless nights.

Because the ability she obtained was so thrilling.

Tiger Girl fell into contemplation: "..."

Others looked at each other—still not fully understanding. What does it mean to temporarily accelerate or reverse the time of an object or living being?

Tiger Girl seriously shook her small head: "I don't quite get it, can you explain its practical use?"

Having said that, she took up her Spring Spirit Milk Bottle, taking a gulp, her small face full of satisfaction.

The others glanced at Tiger Girl: "..."

Zhu Yuheng gave a small cough: "Did I not explain clearly enough?"

"Alright, let me organize my words so that you can understand better."

After pausing for over ten seconds...

She began explaining: "For example, when Xu Ran showed me the Time Gem, we were upstairs at Xu Ran's house looking at the Crystal Beast Egg."

"At that time, I had a premonition that if I could absorb the energy of the Time Gem, I could accelerate the hatching of the Crystal Beast Egg."

"And sure enough, with my Time Manipulation ability, I can apply a Time Acceleration effect on the Crystal Beast Egg to make it hatch quickly, or apply a Time Shift effect to revert it to its state two years ago!"

Everyone was slightly surprised.

Zhu Yuheng went a step deeper into her explanation: "It works for Crystal Beast Eggs, objects, swords, and weapons; I can manipulate their time forward or backward."

"Moreover, it can even be applied to humans. But the more powerful they are, the more difficult the Time Shift is, and I would need to consume both their and my lifespan."

"Take the Crystal Beast Egg, for example. If I want to accelerate its hatching, it would cost both its lifespan and mine."

Oh—

Oh—

Oh—

Upon hearing this explanation.

Both Tiger Girl, Tang Chichi, Ningshuang, and Guan Xin couldn't help but feel a sense of respect, leaning back tactically.

Time Manipulation?

Tiger Girl's golden eyes shone brightly: "I got it! Time Acceleration, Time Reversal. Seems it's not applicable for combat?"

No matter what, her first thought is about combat.

Tang Chichi pouted: "It doesn't have to be for combat. It can be used in other ways. I think if developed carefully, it's definitely a Divine Skill!"

Ningshuang and Guan Xin both raised their hands: "We second that!"

Zhu Yuheng nodded weakly: "For now, I can only think of assisting the Crystal Beast Egg incubation."

Seeing that they still didn't quite understand, she continued: "Of course, there's another use, which is to assist in cultivation."

"For example, if Xu Ran wanted to accelerate his cultivation, I could create a magic spell to manipulate time, consuming both our lifespans to help speed up the flow of time. Accelerate a month, and he can gain a month's worth of Cultivation; accelerate a year, and he can gain a year's worth of Cultivation."

By using the time ability to speed up time, he can enhance his cultivation during this period. Speed up a year, and his power can be enhanced by a year's worth."

Zhu Yuheng's words left everyone frozen in place.

Even Xu Ran, his eyelid twitched.

What?

Accelerate a year, gain a year's cultivation success, isn't that equivalent to having 100 Exotic Wood Hearts?!

Accelerate a year, a million Qi Blood Value!

Accelerate ten years, ten million Qi Blood Value!

Become invincible on the spot!

If given ten years of acceleration, who could stand against him?

It's astonishingly powerful, isn't it?

Who would have thought that the Time Gem, casually taken back then, would have such divine efficacy!
