"Time Control" Limits

This was a massive silver dragon.

Under the glowing ore embedded in the cavern walls, every one of her silver scales shimmered with a cold, metallic luster.

Her silver dragon wings were tucked against her sides, and her long, slender tail wound along the edge of the hollow. Her massive, delicate yet sturdy body was curled into a sleeping posture, resting in quiet slumber.

Silver Dragon King.

Jiang Ci'an watched the silver dragon, the light in his golden pupils intensifying as he attempted to see more, yet... he paused.

At this moment, under the perspective of his "Perspective," he could clearly see the texture of the flesh beneath her silver scales, and even the silver blood, shimmering with a faint seven-colored glow, flowing slowly through her veins.

However... that was where it stopped.

He could not see anything deeper; he could not see her meridians, bones, or the flow of energy. He could only bypass her dragon scales and skin.

In this virtual world, this was the first time his "Perspective" had encountered something he could not see through.

Jiang Ci'an paused, shifting his gaze to look at the other soul beasts.

Di Tian, Bi Ji, Ten Thousand Demon King, Bear Lord... even the Sky Dream Iceworm, which was currently being stripped of its origin.

Wherever his gaze landed, "Perspective" could clearly see the flesh, bones, and energy circulation within their bodies.

But looking back at the Silver Dragon King, It remained the same; he could only see through the thin outer layer.

Jiang Ci'an withdrew his gaze and murmured, "So, there really is some kind of limit."

Jiang Ci'an was not particularly surprised.

Long ago, when he first entered this virtual world, he could feel that while his "Perspective" and other abilities were greatly enhanced here, they were not omnipotent without limits.

It was just that the degree of this "enhancement" was absurd, and as he obtained his first and second soul rings, this limit continued to be pushed higher.

To the point that he had never known the extent to which his abilities had been enhanced.

But now, he knew.

For existences below the god level, his abilities were basically invincible.

But for the Silver Dragon King—an existence whose strength in her prime was at the God King level, and who was now heavily injured and sleeping, roughly maintaining the level of a second-to-third-tier god—his ability could only exert partial effectiveness.

"Perspective" could still see through the Silver Dragon King's body surface, but it could not go any deeper.

This was a clear boundary.

Jiang Ci'an silently noted this information in his heart, preparing to test how much effect his "Indifference" and "Time Control" could have on her later.

As for now, he would continue to test the limits of his "Time Control."

He withdrew his gaze from the Star Dou Great Forest and let it fall back onto Xiao Wu.

Time continued to advance.

Xiao Wu returned, reunited with the Shrek group, and then, after a journey without any dangerous incidents, returned to the academy.

After that, it was cultivation and combat.

The group made progress in their training, entered the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for better resources, clashed with Dugu Bo there, and left in a sorry state.

Subsequently, they entered Lanba Academy.

Then, because of the matter of the poison, Tang San was taken away by Dugu Bo and arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Jiang Ci'an watched Tang San, who had already reached a deal with Dugu Bo by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to refine the antidote for him, And then, Everything stopped.

The rapidly accelerating time suddenly returned to its original speed.

The sun and moon, which had been rapidly alternating in the sky, stalled at a certain moment. The figures below, previously dragged into afterimages, became clear again. The wind began to blow, and the leaves began to rustle once more.

The time he could accelerate had reached its limit.

Jiang Ci'an hovered in mid-air, slightly lowering his eyelids as he felt that his "Time Control" domain could not be pushed any further; it seemed to have reached a certain limit.

A moment later, Jiang Ci'an confirmed it.

He had fast-forwarded nearly seven years, or to be more precise, six years and ten months.

And this accelerated time happened to be exactly his real age in reality.

So, "Can I only fast-forward time in this virtual world for as long as I have lived in reality?"

Jiang Ci'an pondered, confirming the current limit of his "Time Control."

He had to admit, with this ability to accelerate the world's time, he had many more ideas for utilizing the virtual world.

Not rushing to act, Jiang Ci'an first recalled the many pending tasks piled up in his mind, sorting through them one by one in his heart. After confirming there were no omissions, he nodded gently.

There was much to be done.

One by one.

And this first one...

Jiang Ci'an's gaze fell not far away.

There, three girls with distinct appearances were sitting side by side on the lawn of Shrek Academy, chatting and laughing, looking quite happy as they talked about something.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.

Jiang Ci'an watched the three girls, unable to help but size them up a little.

Xiao Wu had changed the most; compared to her previously slightly immature look, she had now fully blossomed, with long, slender legs, a slim waist, and a delicate, stunningly beautiful face.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing had a tall figure with proud curves, her jet-black hair cascading down to her waist, and her temperament was slightly cold.

Even while sitting on the lawn, one could see the astonishing lines wrapped in black silk stockings.

Although Ning Rongrong seemed slightly more ordinary, she had a graceful figure and a slim waist, with pink hair draped over her shoulders, a lively temperament, and an appearance that seemed very gentle on the surface.

Looking at them one by one, they all seemed to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Jiang Ci'an paused involuntarily.

It had to be said, the effect of soul rings on physical development was truly astonishing.

Like Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, they didn't look small at all, and as for Zhu Zhuqing...

His gaze lingered slightly.

One could only say that the Zhu Family's bloodline was indeed amazing.

Come to think of it, given the generations of intermarriage between the Zhu Family and the Dai Family, Zhu Zhuqing should also carry a portion of the Dai Family's bloodline, namely the White Tiger Bloodline...

His gaze shifted slightly of its own accord, his pupils shimmering with a faint light, but then he stopped.

The light receded, and Jiang Ci'an closed his eyes, rubbing his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

In this Virtual World, his "Perspective," "Indifference," and "Time Control" had been greatly enhanced. With these abilities combined, he could truly do whatever he wanted in this world in a practical sense.

The reason he had been able to maintain restraint before was partly because he felt it was wrong, and partly because...

Who would have thoughts about minors? Anyone who did should be shot, plain and simple!

But now...

They didn't look small at all!

Jiang Ci'an took a deep breath, calming the strange thoughts and impulses in his mind, and then his gaze fell on Xiao Wu.

Better to stick to business and continue chipping away at Xiao Wu's soul ring.

As for the rest, He still needed to find a way to vent, otherwise, if things kept going like this, he really wouldn't be able to hold out.
