The fine, soft golden beach stretched into the distance, meeting the shimmering blue sea in the far distance.
The sea breeze brushed past gently, carrying a faint scent of sea salt and the fragrance of vegetation, so comfortable it was intoxicating.
The Seven-Person Squad sat in a circle on the beach, with a dazzling array of delicacies stacked layer upon layer before them.
Xu Tianzhen held a golden, oily roasted beast leg in one hand, gnawing on it with great relish.
She suddenly looked up, a spark of clever inspiration flashing in her round eyes.
She swallowed the food in her mouth, wiped the corner of her lips, and looked at Xu Tianhao, her tone carrying a hint of excitement and anticipation:
"Hao Hao, although your moon reading space can't be used directly to cultivate and raise our realm, can we perform our daily training and Spirit Fighting matches here?"
These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up layers of ripples in everyone's hearts.
The several people who had been looking down tasting the delicious food all stopped what they were doing, a brilliant light suddenly igniting in their eyes.
Everyone's originally relaxed expressions were instantly replaced by pleasant surprise; clearly, this bold and wonderful idea had struck a chord with them.
The fruit brew in Xiao Hongchen's hand paused in mid-air, a shrewd light flickering in his eyes as he immediately nodded in agreement, his tone full of approval: "That's right!"
"If we train here, it won't just help you, Your Highness, hone your control and combat effectiveness of Spirit Abilities, but all of us can save a massive amount of time. This is simply a huge blessing!"
One must know that the flow of time within this moon reading space was entirely controlled by Xu Tianhao. No matter how much time passed inside, only a single second would pass in the outside world.
The difference between the two was enough to drive any Spirit Master mad.
Ye Guyi could also hardly hide the emotion in her eyes at this moment, nodding gently: "In the past, just completing training and honing our coordination once would take half a day."
"But if we do it here, only a mere instant passes outside—just one second."
The difference between one second and half a day sounded like a fairy tale, but in Xu Tianhao's moon reading space, it was reality.
Nana, who was leaning nearby, brightened even more upon hearing this, her tone carrying an irrepressible excitement:
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be equivalent to us having an infinite amount of training time?"
"Others can only manage cultivation and a small amount of training in a day, but we can complete a massive amount of combat coordination in an extremely short time. The gap will only grow wider and wider!"
Listening to everyone's heated discussion and seeing the unmasked surprise and anticipation in their eyes, Xu Tianhao's lips slowly curled into a satisfied arc as he nodded gently.
He had naturally thought of this long ago. This was also why he chose to inform everyone only after he had completely figured out the wonderful uses of his moon reading space.
Once everyone's voices had quieted down slightly, Xu Tianhao spoke slowly: "You are very smart. I have considered this point long ago."
"During this period, I have basically adapted fully to controlling the moon reading space. I have a clear grasp of the environmental changes and energy maintenance within the space. That is why I am only telling you about this Spirit Ability's effect now."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over each of his partners as he continued methodically:
"According to my thoughts, all of our squad's future combat training, Spirit Ability honing, tactical coordination, and Spirit Fighting matches can all be conducted within the moon reading space."
"We won't touch a single bit of time in the outside world; all training processes will be completed within this space. This way, we can save a vast amount of outside time."
"And that precious time saved can be used wholeheartedly for meditation and cultivation to increase our spirit power levels. We will never have to worry about training taking up cultivation time again."
After those words, Xu Tianhao added: "Not only that, if we want to experiment with the power of spirit tools, debug spirit tool parameters, or test newly developed spirit tool devices, I can directly consume my own spirit power to simulate and create the corresponding spirit tools within the space."
"In any case, my spirit power can slowly recover within the space, which is enough to support daily consumption and maintain the stable operation of the entire space."
"This way, our cultivation time will increase greatly. Our spirit power improvement won't be affected in the slightest, nor will our combat training fall behind. We can balance both and advance side-by-side."
These words were like a reassuring pill and a stimulant, causing everyone present to reveal uncontrollable expressions of excitement, their eyes flashing with a burning light.
They all knew that for a Spirit Master, time was the most precious wealth.
How many geniuses had failed to reach the peak because they lacked time, needing to spend it both raising spirit power and honing combat skills, ultimately losing one while trying to keep the other?
The existence of the moon reading space directly broke this predicament.
Even if spirit power levels couldn't be directly increased within the space, this ability to completely separate training time from cultivation time was equivalent to giving them a heaven-defying cultivation accelerator.
Their future growth speed would far surpass those of their generation, leaving everyone in the dust.
Just as everyone was immersed in excitement and longing, Xu Tianhao's voice rang out again, his tone a bit more serious:
"However, this high-intensity cultivation mode isn't permanent or unlimited. After all, the moon reading space requires me to continuously consume mental force to maintain; everything is based on my mental force."
Xu Tianhao analyzed seriously: "With my current mental force strength, even with Domain assistance, this high-intensity, non-stop cultivation mode can last at most about one month of space-time per session."
"After that, I need to take a good rest for a period to quietly recover my energy, avoiding a decline in my state or even affecting my cultivation due to mental exhaustion."
"Of course, this is only temporary," Xu Tianhao said as his tone shifted, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes.
"In the future, as my cultivation improves and my mental force strength continues to grow, the time I can support the space's operation will certainly get longer and longer, and the restrictions will become smaller and smaller."
After listening to Xu Tianhao's explanation, everyone smiled at each other, and the tiny bit of concern originally in their hearts vanished instantly.
Xiao Hongchen waved his hand with a free and easy smile: "Is that even a drawback? To us, it's not even worth mentioning!"
"Even if we train for a month inside the space, plus the time you need to rest, it will only be half a day or a day outside?"
"Moreover, we also need to rest and adjust. We can't keep our nerves taut and cultivate forever. A balance of work and rest is the best way."
Long Aotian immediately nodded in agreement, his voice booming: "That's right, Your Highness! We are humans, too, not emotionless cultivation machines."
"Endless cultivation without a break is unbearable. We can use the time you're resting to relax and adjust as well; it won't affect anything at all!"
Xu Tianzhen was a person of action. She reached out and picked up a massive, fleshy deep-sea lobster.
After personally peeling off the hard shell, Xu Tianzhen handed the fresh and tender shrimp meat to Xu Tianhao's lips, saying with a smile:
"Hao Hao, don't worry too much. Just do what you can; we can't let you get worn out."
"We will all cooperate with your rhythm and won't let you force yourself."
Xu Tianhao opened his mouth to eat the shrimp meat. Looking at this group of partners who treated him sincerely and supported one another, warmth surged in his heart, and the smile on his face became even gentler.
Ending the discussion about the cultivation plan, everyone completely let down their guard and threw themselves wholeheartedly into this pleasant rest.
They continued to taste the delicious food, dreaming of their future growth.
In this space that belonged solely to them, they indulged in a rare moment of leisure and freedom.
Everyone spent more than half a day in the space relaxing, chatting, laughing, and enjoying fine food, while only a single second had passed in the outside world.
If an outsider were standing at their original position at this moment, they would witness a phenomenon that could be called eerie and terrifying.
One second, the Seven-Person Squad was huddling together, their eyes bright and gazes eager as they looked at Xu Tianhao, their expressions vivid and spirited.
The next second, the seven of them were all lying on the ground, bellies bulging, faces full of satisfaction, and expressions lazy and content...
No one could have imagined that in a gap of just one second, they had spent an incredibly fulfilling and happy half-day.
