2 Months

The wolf leaped at him once more, and in the split second before it reached him, Ling Tian activated the space-time cube.

A faint glow enveloped him, and he felt a slight tug as the space around him distorted.

In an instant, he reappeared 100 meters away, near the edge of the clearing.

The Thunderclap Wolf skidded to a halt, bewildered by Ling Tian's sudden disappearance.

It sniffed the air, trying to locate him.

Ling Tian watched the beast from his new vantage point, a grin spreading across his face.

"Haha, It works," he muttered, satisfaction in his voice. "See how silly that wolf looks."

Using the element of surprise to his advantage, Ling Tian teleported again, this time appearing directly behind the wolf.

The beast barely had time to react before Ling Tian struck with a powerful, precise blow.

His sword sliced through the wolf's defenses, cutting deep into its side.

The beast howled in pain and fury, spinning around to face him.

The wolf's movements were slower now, its injuries taking a toll.

Ling Tian pressed his advantage, using a combination of sword strikes and teleportation to outmaneuver the beast.

Each time the wolf tried to retaliate, he would blink out of reach, reappearing in a different position to deliver another strike.

Finally, with a decisive slash, Ling Tian drove his sword into the wolf's heart.

The beast let out one last, anguished howl before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

Ling Tian stood over the fallen creature, breathing heavily due to overusing his qi with the Space-Time cube but he emerged victorious.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, a triumphant smile on his lips. "The space-time cube is even more powerful than I imagined," he said to himself. "With this, I can face even stronger opponents."

Feeling a surge of confidence, Ling Tian retrieved the Thunderclap Wolf's core, storing it within the space-time cube.

As he looked around the clearing, he couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of purpose.

The cube had proven its worth, and he was eager to continue testing its capabilities and pushing his limits.

Returning to his resting place, Ling Tian settled into a meditative position, the space-time cube resting comfortably in his palm.

"If one month passes outside, I can train for two months inside the cube. This is an opportunity to hone my skills and learn some techniques from my past life in the Divine Realm that I can use in the mortal world."

With a calm look, he activated the space-time cube, feeling the familiar tug as space warped around him.

In an instant, he found himself within the cube's internal space, a vast and serene environment designed for cultivation.

"This place never ceases to amaze me," Ling Tian muttered, gazing at the pristine landscape around him.

He wasted no time, sitting cross-legged on the ground and focusing his mind. "First, I need to consolidate my foundation and then move on to learning new techniques."

Over the next two months inside the cube, Ling Tian dedicated himself to rigorous cultivation and training.

He began by stabilizing his recent breakthroughs, ensuring that his newfound power was firmly rooted.

His aura grew steadier and more refined with each passing day.

Once his foundation was solidified, Ling Tian moved on to learning techniques from his past life.

He recalled the myriad skills he had mastered in the Divine Realm, selecting those that would be most beneficial in the mortal world.

"Let's start with the Void Shadow Step," he said, a technique designed for rapid movement and evasion through the manipulation of space itself.

"This will complement the teleportation feature of the space-time cube and help me learn the space intent."

He practiced the Void Shadow Step diligently, his movements becoming a blur as he perfected the intricate footwork and qi manipulation required.

Each step seemed to distort the space around him, creating afterimages and allowing him to move with unprecedented speed. "Just like in the Divine Realm," he mused, a satisfied smile on his face as he executed the technique flawlessly.

The Void Shadow Step was more than just a movement technique; it required a deep understanding of space.

Ling Tian focused on comprehending the space intent, meditating on the nature of space itself. He learned the 1st level Space Intent just from learning the technique and with the help of the Space-Time cube.

He visualized the fabric of reality, and how it could be bent and twisted to his will. Hours turned into days as he immersed himself in this profound concept, gradually feeling a connection to the very essence of space.

He reached the 2nd level of the Space Intent.

Next, he turned his attention to the Heavenly Thunder Palm, a powerful offensive technique that harnessed the destructive force of lightning.

"This will give me an edge against stronger opponents." Ling Tian thought, channeling his qi into his palms and unleashing bolts of lightning with devastating precision.

"Hmm, the power of elemental attacks are weaker due to my non-elemental spiritual root."

He found this problem after training his technique, "But they are more than powerful enough for the current me. I will leave this problem to the future me to solve."

Days turned into weeks as Ling Tian continued to train.

He also revisited some of his other favorite techniques from his past life, such as the Earthshaker Fist, a technique that combined physical strength with seismic force.

As he trained, he couldn't help but speak to himself, his voice echoing in the serene space. "Each of these techniques holds a piece of my past life. Mastering them again feels like reclaiming a part of who I was."

With only a few days left before he had to leave the cube, Ling Tian decided to focus on a technique he had always found challenging: the Ethereal Chains, a binding technique that used spiritual energy to immobilize opponents.

"This one requires utmost precision and control," he reminded himself, concentrating intensely as he practiced.

Finally, after two months of relentless training inside the space-time cube, Ling Tian felt a profound sense of accomplishment.

He had not only solidified his foundation but also regained several powerful techniques from his past life.
