It wasn't as if awakening an ability guaranteed mastery of that particular skill set.

However, even the most basic applications were within everyone's reach.

For example, a fire-type ability user could conjure a fireball simply by concentrating their energy in their hand. More advanced techniques, like flame explosions, required personal comprehension.

Chen Luo attempted to focus his time ability in his hand to see what would happen.

But he was dumbfounded. Nothing happened, and he didn't feel his ability diminishing.

How could this be?

Back then, when Chen Luo used time acceleration, he didn't even know how he did it, and he hadn't dared to try again.

Chen Luo cursed inwardly. Did he have to be on the verge of death to comprehend it?

He began to carefully recall the feelings and images from when he had used time acceleration.

At that time, he had shouted in his heart, "Mutant, go to hell! Drop dead already!"

He had hoped that the mutant's lifespan would end, and it would just drop dead.

And that's how he had used time acceleration.

Chen Luo was puzzled. Could it be that the time ability wasn't used physically, but mentally?

It seemed so. Jiang Chuxue, another time ability user, hadn't made any movements when she had stopped time on him.

There was no warning, no resistance, no way to block the time freeze, which could even freeze the power of abilities.

At the time, Chen Luo felt as if he had seen a ghost and couldn't understand it.

Time was formless and intangible, invisible and untouchable. It couldn't be used physically but required mental focus.

Although he didn't fully understand the time ability, human cognition still had some understanding of time.

Time reversal, time freeze, time acceleration.

He would start with the time acceleration he had already used.

Chen Luo stared intently at a white teacup on the opposite table.

The teacup was new; Mi Fan had accidentally broken one, so they had replaced it with this one.

"Get old for me."

Chen Luo's eyes were almost crossed, but he couldn't make the cup age.

He scratched his head in confusion. Was he just useless?

Suddenly, Chen Luo realized something.

His ability had decreased significantly, so he must have used time acceleration, but he hadn't realized it.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.

For a brand-new cup to completely change its appearance would take at least several years. Perhaps he had only accelerated time by half a year or a year.

Chen Luo picked up the teacup, his eyes shining even brighter. It was indeed different from before. The pure white cup was slightly yellow, something he hadn't noticed before.

But something still didn't seem right. Using time acceleration continuously should definitely make it age faster.

Could it be that he was currently unable to use it continuously on the same target?

He couldn't use inanimate objects anymore. He would experiment with living things; living things changed more noticeably.

Chen Luo left the room and went to the yard.

First, he looked at Little Red, who was lying in her nest, incubating eggs.

Little Red glanced at Chen Luo warily. Although she was afraid of this non-dog person, her babies were about to be born.

She wouldn't let him eat any of her eggs.

Experiment on Little Red?

No, if she turned into an old hen, she wouldn't be able to lay eggs anymore.

Chen Luo then looked at Silver Wolf, Fa Wang's wife, who was also about to give birth.

That wouldn't work either. If there were any unknown changes, it wouldn't be good if Fa Wang's wife disappeared.

He should find a small animal.

In the end, Chen Luo chose a dung beetle that was pushing a ball of dung.

This dung beetle was smaller than the other dung beetles.

After using time acceleration, the dung beetle's body was visibly growing.

It was unaware and instead delighted. It could push the dung ball faster, and it seemed it could eat more dung balls too.

Chen Luo's face was a little pale. Suddenly, a quarter of his ability was gone.

Compared to accelerating the teacup, this consumed too much energy.

Could it be that the consumption was different between inanimate and living things?

It seemed that Jiang Chuxue's time freeze also had different effects on different targets.

She could freeze Chen Luo, a king-level expert, for ten seconds, but she could freeze a level-ten ability user for more than half a minute.

His time acceleration also consumed differently depending on the target.

Chen Luo went to the planting area again. The potatoes planted by Meng Yin and Ouyang Lu were almost ripe.

He would try it on them.

In the blink of an eye, small potatoes turned into big potatoes.

Chen Luo was overjoyed. Could it be that time acceleration could be used to grow vegetables?

However, it was too extravagant. He could only affect individual targets, and he couldn't grow many potatoes in a day.

Chen Luo would have to be crazy to use his time ability to grow vegetables.

The ability consumption was too high; he had to improve it to make the consumption smaller.

Hmm, if he could make potatoes and dung beetles grow quickly, what if he used it on people?

For example, Chen Luo knew clearly that he would be king-level in the future. If he accelerated himself for a few years, could he suddenly advance to king-level?

It sounded unbelievable, but the time ability was a very magical ability, wasn't it?

Perhaps it was possible?

No risk, no reward. A ruthless look appeared on Chen Luo's face; he would be ruthless to himself.

After using it, Chen Luo collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.

His ability was almost completely consumed, but his strength had not increased at all.

Even though he was at the same level and constantly absorbing crystals, the ability energy contained in the crystals was different, but Chen Luo's ability energy limit had not increased at all.

Chen Luo went to the mirror. If there was any change, it was that his still-young face was covered in a beard.

This...

Could it be that the effect of time acceleration could not affect ability levels?

He was being too greedy. If it worked, he would be invincible and able to mass-produce king-level experts.

What was the use of this time acceleration?

It didn't seem to cause any damage to the target, whether it was a dung beetle or a potato.

It had a special effect on mutants because their lifespans were very short.

But it had no effect on ability users or normally developing zombies.

Chen Luo was still self-aware; he couldn't make either of those instantly die yet.

Could he use time reversal to make the target regress to a weaker period?

Perhaps after his level was higher, the time ability would truly begin to show its magical effects.

The power of a fireball unleashed by a level-one fire ability user and a king-level fire ability user was different because the quality of their crystals was different.

Currently, the most useful time skill seemed to be time freeze.

But Chen Luo didn't know how to use it.

Jiang Chuxue only knew how to use time freeze, not time acceleration.

Everyone had different talents.

Could it be that his greatest achievement in space was Void Walk, and his greatest achievement in time was time acceleration?

And what about combined skills? What would happen if he used the space ability and the time ability together?

Chen Luo shook his head. The consumption would definitely be enormous, and he didn't dare to try. Once the crystal completely shattered, he would die.

There was no need to take such a risk.

Back in the room, Mi Li habitually leaned over.

Mi Li asked curiously, "Is time acceleration magical?"

Chen Luo had the time ability and had just practiced time acceleration, so he naturally didn't hide it from Mi Li.

Chen Luo explained the effects, and Mi Li had a sudden idea, imagining herself as twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

Just then, Meng Yin shouted excitedly from outside the yard.

"Big brother, my potatoes are ripe!"

……

This chapter wasn't very interesting, but I racked my brains for it. I wanted to update three chapters, but I failed.

Today is Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine’s Day), but I still updated, what does that mean?

Give this lonely author a little flower.
