After a long while, the pain in his eyes eased considerably, and Ye Feng slowly stood up.
Only then did Orochimaru voice the question on his mind:
"Was that the Mangekyō Sharingan you just activated?"
Ye Feng nodded at his words and said:
"I never expected it to consume so much on my very first use!"
Recalling their brief exchange, Orochimaru spoke with lingering fear:
"Although the consumption was enormous, its power was terrifying! Before I even had time to react, your kunai was already at my throat. What ability is that?"
Ye Feng had no intention of hiding it:
"This ability is called 'Fleeting Moment.' It can control the flow of time within a small area."
Orochimaru was astonished:
"What? It can actually control time! Is that a power a human can wield?"
Ye Feng was not surprised by Orochimaru's shock. Even he had been utterly stunned when he learned of the ability. After all, power over time was far too overwhelming.
Just then, Ye Feng discovered to his surprise that his Eye Power seemed to have recovered a little during their brief conversation:
Could my Sharingan be an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan rather than a Mangekyō Sharingan? But that isn't how the story goes. There's no reason I should skip straight past the Mangekyō Sharingan and attain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!
Ye Feng remained silent in thought, making Orochimaru think something had happened. He hurriedly asked:
"Ye Feng? Has something else happened?"
Orochimaru's voice interrupted Ye Feng's thoughts, and he instinctively looked toward him.
Then inspiration flashed through his mind. He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
But a moment later, Ye Feng suppressed the thought. He could not verify this conjecture yet. He would have to wait until another Sharingan appeared
