While Lin Yue was diligently comprehending the Law of Space, Su Qingyan also made a breakthrough in her cultivation inside her temporary cave abode.
She crushed the Chaos Ice Crystal Lin Yue had given her and infused it into her Flame Law. The crystal's chill tempered the flames' wildness, bringing greater peace to her mind and making her more sensitive to the Law of Time.
Su Qingyan discovered that combining Space Acceleration with the Law of Time could produce an entirely new effect—"Space-Time Flow." She could use Space Acceleration to shorten the distance between herself and a target, while slowing the target's perception with the Law of Time, leaving them at a disadvantage without realizing it.
To master "Space-Time Flow," Su Qingyan conducted extensive simulations. She used a rock in her cave abode as a target and repeatedly practiced coordinating Space Acceleration with the Law of Time. At first, she struggled to precisely control the proportions of the two laws. Either Space Acceleration was too fast, preventing the Law of Time from taking effect in time, or she released the Law of Time too early, and the rock's energy fluctuations canceled it out.
But Su Qingyan didn't give up. She recorded the cause of each failure, then continually adjusted the timing and energy output of the two laws. With the help of the Chaos Ice Crystal, her mind grew steadier, and her control over the laws became more precise.
On the morning of the fifteenth day, Su Qingyan finally succeeded in using "Space-Time Flow." She first activated Space Acceleration, instantly moving in front of the rock, while simultaneously releasing the Law of Time to slow the flow of time around it. Under the influence of the Law of Time, the rock's energy fluctuations became extraordinarily slow, as if it had
