Space Techniques

'I need to purchase a space technique or my talent for space would be wasted. I can't let that happen.'

Thinking of this, Dylan communicated with the Congyun Mirror in his mind. "Mirror, open the shop for space-related techniques."

At this time, the mirror didn't respond but a panel appeared in his retina displaying eight separate items.

"Why is there only eight here?" Dylan asked with surprise.

"Space-related items and techniques aren't cabbages in the market. Even with the long history of the Alliance. It's hard to procure space-related techniques."

The Congyun Mirror responded this time with its tone upset. Dylan decided to shut up at this time. The Congyun Mirror has consciousness. It's an entity capable of thoughts and emotions. This is the reason the Congyun Mirror was considered a divine item.

'This is only one of the countless sub-bodies of Congyun Mirror. Congyun City is only one of the branches of Warrior Alliance. I wonder how terrifying the main body of the mirror is and is it possible for my soul fragment to steal its body?'

Such a dangerous thought, Dylan quickly dispelled it. After all, the implication of this was far too big for his current strength. He couldn't bite more than he could chew.

For now, he needs to be lowkey. Who knew if there was someone out there that could read surface thoughts or intentions? Once news that he could seize bodies, not to mention the Divine Item Congyun Mirror. Shit would quickly turn bad. The entire Warrior Alliance would spare no effort to eradicate him from the face of the planet.

Dylan decided to focus on the screen in front of him and looked at the names of the techniques one by one.

"Spatial Ripple."

"Clear the Sea."

"Void Cube."

"Dimensional Stealth."

"Quick Flash."

"Isolate Space."

"Space Call Buster."

"Isometric Explosion."

One by one, the description of the techniques appeared and Dylan read them with gusto.

Spatial Ripple- A basic application of space. It causes a ripple in the space to slow down any type of movement speed by 50% and reduce the effectiveness of enemies' spatial means to a certain extent within 30 meters of the user.

Requirement: Entry-level understanding of the law of space. The price is 10,000 contribution points.

Dylan's eyes widened as he looked at the amount of points needed in contrast to his contribution points. 'So expensive. As expected of space techniques. Space indeed belongs to one of the highest laws in the Universe.'

'Damn... It took me 2 years to accumulate 1000 contribution points for two years. Does this mean it will take 5 years for me to save enough to buy this Spatial Ripple Technique?' he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Clear the Sea- Basic application of space law. Clear out and break low-level illusions.

Requirement: Entry-level understanding of the law of space. The price is 8,500 contribution points. One needs not only a strong understanding but also a body that has a high affinity to space.

Dylan rubbed his chin and then proceeded to the next technique.

Void Cube- An intermediate application of space. The cube can store items and the time is frozen inside. The items are automatically sorted out. The size of the space inside the cube entirely depends on the power of the user.

Requirement: Intermediate-level understanding of the space. The price is 50,000 contribution points. One needs not only a strong understanding but also a physique that has a high affinity to space.

Seeing this, Dylan exhaled a sharp breath. Isn't this the legendary storage space? This technique was a lot more convenient than the ring type's storage space because those rings could be stolen and destroyed. 'This is a good technique for storing items that can expire like food. My Space Dominion's time flow is the same as outside world, or only a bit slower but not still.'

The value of this spell would give him a lot of returns and would quickly exceed the effort that he would invest. After all, once he got this spell. He can just conveniently store loot when robbing... Ahem, when killing his enemies. He doesn't also need to worry about others coveting his wealth.

Of course, he could also just use his spatial domain to do that. However, the time inside the spatial domain isn't suitable for storing perishable goods since the time inside isn't frozen. As for durable items, of course, those can be stored.

'I need to save contribution points and also understand the law of space. But how do I comprehend the law of space? Do I read a book or something?'

Although he had a high talent. There was no medium for him to comprehend. He couldn't just understand space out of nowhere just like how a really smart person still needs books to be knowledgeable. 'What to do? Well, I'll ask the mirror later.'

Then he shifted his attention to the other technique.

Dimensional Stealth- An advanced level application of the law of space. Conceal one's breath and existence, merge with the space to move. Perfect for assasination. Only creatures with a high affinity to space and excellent understanding could detect the user.

Requirements- A deep understanding of the space element. Achieved the extraordinary state "One with the space". Only those in the Noble Realm can learn this due to the harshness of space that could tear those below the Noble Realm apart. Priced 500,000 contribution points.

'Noble Realm...' Dylan wasn't foreign to this term. In the game, the NPCs couldn't perceive the leveling system and concept of experience like players. The world had its own ranking system. In this world, the NPCs call level 1-100 the Awakened Realm. After all, they're not aware of concept of leveling system. Levels 1-30 represent small success, levels 31-60 are equivalent to major success, and lastly, levels 61-100 are known as the advancement stage.

Once a creature surpasses the bottleneck, it makes countless NPCs and Creatures stuck. They would achieve evolution! A metamorphosis. A complete transformation of life level just like how a fish can transform into a dragon once it leaps in the dragon gate. Like a caterpillar in a cocoon that evolved into a butterfly. The level 101-200 is called Noble Realm!

The gap between Awaken and Noble is not simply 1+1 equals 2. It was the gap in life. That's why most were stuck at level 100, unable to advance further and died of old age. Most mortals can only live 200 years even if they are level 100. But once someone advanced the chasm known as level 100 and stepped into the Noble Realm (level 101). They would gain another 300 years of lifespan! A sublimation of life.

Dylan glossed over the rest of the space techniques, which were far more expensive than the first five and required an advanced understanding of space law.
