~Azure Dragon Continent, Yi Clan~

Yi Xue closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Swoosh!

The moment he opened his eyes everything around him slowed down for 3 seconds before everything turned back to normal "So I can only stay in that state for 3 seconds with my current strength." Yi Xue mumbled.

What Yi Xue did just now was put his mind into overdrive making everything seem slow even if the time outside was not affected.

This is also what happens when someone is on the brink of death and they feel like everything is moving really slow and that time is moving slower even though it is not.

Time will not only seem to expand during life-threatening situations but also whenever we encounter something novel or do something new.

This is something Yi Xue had experienced over the many times his life was at risk until he found a way to make it possible for him to use.

"Let's first started by making my muscles get used to the spear." Yi Xue spoke as he started to thrust the spear forward in a very slow manner which seemed weird from the outside.

As the loli was looking at this she felt that something was off with what Yi Xue was doing, although she didn't know much about fighting she knew that there was not point in moving the spear forward and backward slowly.

She couldn't understand what the benefit of that was.

After 30 min of doing the same thing Yi Xue smiled "Now that I have warmed up, I can start my real training." He spoke and took a deep breath.

Oneness was the state of union with the weapon.

While under normal circumstances this could only be achieved in a life and death situation, this was not always the case. In some select circumstances living individuals managed to become an extension of the weapon [in his case spear].

They essentially became nothing more than an extension—a tool—of the weapon and were at a perfect calm.

This was the state Yi Xue was now in, he started to move in an awkward way as if he was dancing but despite the awkwardness, you could see that no matter how he moved the spear never affected his movements and it was as if the spear had become his own arm.

He started to move faster and faster making the dust fly away from.

The more he moved the faster his movements became.

Unlike what you thought, the dust didn't move away from him anymore, no it looked like the dust was not affected any longer as the sand and dust around him just stayed on the ground.

After a while, his movements started to make blurs and the spear created a golden force field around him as it was everywhere. At least this was how loli saw it as she watched Yi Xue completely mesmerized.

Some time later his movements started to slow down and he maxed his senses and started to thrust his spear and one golden spear after another could be seen filling the space around him as more than 5 spears could be seen.

"It looks like I can only create 5 spear blurs with my strength." Yi Xue sighed as he stopped.

"And I can only maintain the 'Oneness' for 15 minutes. Taking that into account my strength should be able to take down others at the peak of the Blood stage, and that is my strength alone if I use my own experience I should be able to take down someone who is a whole stage above me. For now, that should be fine, let's work on my speed now." Yi Xue said as he put down the spear and started to walk around the training ground slowly before increasing his speed and running.

As he ran he could feel his heart beat, he controlled his breath flow and increased his own speed trying to break his limit.

He once again increased his own speed moving so fast that he could feel the wind slowing him down.

But how is it that he doesn't know about the wind?

He broke the wind resistance and felt that his own body become a lot faster as he created more than 4 blurs behind him, with a laugh he increased his own speed.

The blood in his own body was boiling and every muscle in his own body was tearing apart.

After he noticed this he frowned "Looks like my body can't handle the strain." He mumbled as he was about to slow down something gushed out from inside of him going to every muscle in his body, it stopped the strain and made the muscle as good as new.

Looking at what just happened and the good feeling he just had his mind went blank and he tripped and fell head first on the ground before moving more than 10 feets and stopping by hitting the dummies.

"Young master!" The loli screamed as she ran towards him.

'What the fuck was that!' Yi Xue thought as he looked at his own body, his eyebrows raised in surprise as he saw that everything about his body looked the same as if he had never even trained in the first place.

No, not the same, he could feel that his body has become stronger from the training.

More than a thousand thoughts went through his head thinking about why this happened before he came to a conclusion.

'Could it have been the Blue Crystal?' He thought as the loli helped him on his feet.
