Chapter 31, Tier 5 Combat Skill, Space-Time Type: Sands of Time
He took out his phone and sent a message to Shen Man: "Teacher Shen, the budget is 1.54 million. We bought a Tier 2 B-grade grenade gun and some potions."
Shen Man's reply came instantly: "Send me the details."
Lin Yuan took a picture of the shopping receipt and sent it over.
About ten seconds later, Shen Man replied with a voice message.
Lin Yuan clicked on the caller ID, and Shen Man's lazy voice came through the receiver. In the background, someone could be faintly shouting, "Teacher Shen, are you still not going to hold the Examination Yuan meeting?"
"Purple Lightning? Good eye. That gun requires a lot of lightning control from the user because of its fourth-tier magic core, and it's generally difficult for low-level ability users to wield it."
"You were able to use it right away, which proves I made the right choice in you."
Then another message was posted.
"But why are you buying Bone Tempering Pills? You're already at the ninth level, why are you still taking mid-level ones? Mid-level ones are useless to you now."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and typed back: "Keep it on hand. I have a habit of stockpiling."
"Alright. Let me know when you run out of money, don't be stingy. S-level resource quotas are issued monthly, but you can use them in advance, I'll approve it for you."
"Thank you, Teacher Shen."
"You're welcome. Go take the exam. If you get into the top ten in Hangzhou, I'll reimburse you for your Zidian (a type of electric scooter) expenses."
Lin Yuan smiled and put his phone back in his pocket.
Top ten in Hangzhou.
He glanced down at the Purple Lightning in his hand.
First-tier, seventh level peak, nine rounds of bone tempering, S-class spacetime system, first-tier, third level, "Thunder Walks the Nine Heavens" has reached the inner sanctum, plus this second-tier, B-grade Purple Lightning.
Top ten in Hangzhou?
The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
My goal is to be number one!
Lin Yuan felt that the pace of life in this city was slower than in Donghai City, and that people there knew how to enjoy life better than those in Donghai City.
He walked past a shop selling Dingsheng cake, and the aroma was so enticing that he couldn't resist buying two pieces.
He continued walking forward while eating the cake, but when he turned a corner, he suddenly paused.
At the end of the sycamore tree's shade, three people were turning the corner from the street.
Despite the sweltering heat, all three were wrapped in dark gray coats and wore red hoods that completely covered their faces.
The person at the very back tilted their head slightly, revealing a small section of skin through the edge of their hood.
Pale, almost bloodless.
The three people turned the corner and disappeared into a small alley.
Lin Yuan stood still and stared in that direction for two seconds.
Wearing a coat and hood in temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius means you're either crazy or you have something you don't want others to see.
However, Hangzhou is a strong second-tier city, and the city's defense forces and the Superpower Association have a much stronger control than Donghai City.
No matter how rampant the Blood Eye Cult is, it wouldn't dare to operate on a large scale in such a place.
Most likely, it's some cult that also likes to wear cloaks, or simply a few young men who are afraid of the sun.
Lin Yuan took a bite of the Dingsheng cake and put the matter aside for the time being.
Even if the sky falls, the city's defense forces will hold it up; his most important task now is to find a place to stay.
After walking for about ten more minutes, he saw a hotel on a relatively quiet street.
The storefront is small, with beige exterior walls and dark brown window frames. A sign on the glass door reads: "This establishment has a training room for people with supernatural abilities, which guests can use for free."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.
Training room. Free to use.
He pushed the door open and went in.
The receptionist was a young woman wearing round-framed glasses, who was watching a show on her computer.
Seeing someone come in, she pressed the pause button and gave a professional smile.
"Hello, are you checking in?"
"Living here. Do you have a training room?"
"Yes, yes." The girl with round-framed glasses took out a laminated price list from under the counter and handed it over.
After glancing at it briefly, Lin Yuan returned the price list to her and took out his ID card and bank card from his pocket.
He's rich now, so there's no need to take it so seriously, because he can afford it!
"Stay. Reserve a room for me that's reserved for lightning-type characters."
The girl with round-framed glasses smiled even more brightly.
She fiddled with the computer for a few moments and then handed me a room key.
"Room 306, double room with private bathroom. The elevator is on the left. The training room entrance is at the end of the corridor on the first floor; you can go down by swiping your room card."
Lin Yuan took the room key, went upstairs to put his luggage away, then went down to the first floor with the room key in his pocket and walked to the end of the corridor.
There was an inconspicuous gray iron door with a sensor embedded in the door frame.
He swiped his room card, and the iron door slid open silently, revealing a staircase leading downwards.
The training room on the basement floor was much larger than he had imagined.
At the end of the corridor is the door to the Thunder-type private room, with the word "Idle" displayed in green on the electronic screen.
Lin Yuan swiped his card to enter.
The room is about 30 square meters and is square.
The walls are covered with a dark gray energy-absorbing material; this is the energy-absorbing wall, which can absorb the supernatural energy that overflows during training and prevents the room from being blown up.
There is also a small control panel in the corner with a touch screen that can adjust the intensity of the energy suppression field, ranging from "zero suppression" to "third-order suppression", with a total of ten levels.
Lin Yuan closed the door, leaned Zidian against the wall, and sat cross-legged in the center of the room.
He opened the system panel.
[Host: Lin Yuan]
[Minor Lightning Strike: Rank E, Tier 1, Level 7 (Peak)]
[Herrscher of Time and Space: S-rank, Tier 1, Level 3]
[Muscle and Bone Tempering: 9 rounds (89% progress)]
【Combat Skill: Thunderclap Across the Nine Heavens (Proficiency: Proficient (About to Breakthrough))
[Special Ability Points: 1147]
One thousand one thousand one hundred and forty-seven points.
The frenzied hunting in the wilderness in the days before leaving Donghai City was not in vain.
He glanced at the upgrade cost of the spacetime ability, which was 800 ability points to upgrade from Tier 1 Level 3 to Tier 1 Level 4.
Upgrading a lightning-type weapon to the next level only costs 500, while upgrading a spacetime-type weapon costs 800. The difference between S-class and E-class weapons is evident in every aspect.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath.
"upgrade."
[Consuming 800 Ability Points, the Space-Time Ability has been upgraded from Tier 1, Level 3 to Tier 1, Level 4]
[Remaining Ability Points: 347]
A familiar warmth surged from the depths of his dantian, a feeling completely different from when he broke through to the lightning-type ability.
First tier, fourth level. The perception range has been expanded from ten meters to fifteen meters.
[Host's spacetime ability has been detected to have increased to Tier 1, Level 4. System reward has been issued.]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Space-Time Combat Skill "Sands of Time" (Tier 5)]
Fifth order?
Lin Yuan was taken aback.
He opened the combat skill description.
The Sands of Time
[Grade: Fifth Tier]
[Attribute: Space-Time System]
[Proficiency Level: Beginner (0/1000)]
[Effect: Condenses the power of spacetime into invisible "sand," which is then dispersed within a three-meter radius around the body. Any object entering this area (including but not limited to weapons, supernatural attacks, monsters, and human bodies) will have its movement speed slowed by 10% to 30%, depending on the opponent's level and attack strength.]
Duration: 5 seconds
[Cooldown: 30 seconds]
[Note: As proficiency increases, the deceleration rate, duration, and range of effect will all increase.]
Lin Yuan read the explanation twice from beginning to end.
After reading it, he remained silent for about three seconds.
