That was right. Chi Xue and Po Tian had already mastered the Time Secret Technique. Though their understanding of it fell far short of Ling Tian's—and even Mo Lei and the other Mo Family cultivators surpassed them—they had become far more resistant to it. In fact, the Time Secret Technique barely affected them anymore. They were also extremely familiar with Phantom Combo, so if they used Phantom Clone and the Teleportation Secret Technique to escape the clones' encirclement before Ling Tian unleashed his attack, they could still counter the Phantom Combo without too much trouble. Especially since Ling Tian wasn't nearly as practiced in the technique as Venerable Sword Saint.
Everyone knew that using Phantom Combo took a heavy toll. It wouldn't pose much of a threat to Chi Xue and Po Tian, yet it would cost Ling Tian a great deal of energy. In Fairy Sword Ji and the others' eyes, the technique seemed rather useless. There was little point in Ling Tian studying it.
"It's not entirely pointless. Chi Xue and Po Tian might find it easy to counter, but the others won't," Fairy Meng Shang said. Seeing the thoughtful looks on their faces, she nodded. "That's right. Ling Tian can use it against Po Di and the others. Even those God Devouring Bodies who haven't mastered the Time Secret Technique could be hurt by it.
