System Subspace
< Ding! Congratulations, you have unlocked a new system feature: System Subspace >
< System Subspace >
- The system has developed a space where the host's consciousness can enter and train. It is the optimal environment for mastering skills and techniques.
- Rank: Tier 1 (Upgradeable)
- Time flows differently in the subspace. One hour in the real world equates to 24 hours there.
- Train with dummies that possess a flawless understanding of your skills, helping identify areas for improvement.
- Respawn occurs after each death.
"Holy smokes, this is perfect," Karsha exclaimed, laughing maniacally. The system's subspace is indeed an excellent place to master all skills.
Spending 24 hours in the subspace is equivalent to spending just one hour in the outside world. Mana is also available there, allowing Karsha to practice and even attempt to raise his cultivation base. However, doing so would defeat the primary purpose of the subspace.
Having an entire day to master a skill while only spending one hour in the outside world is incredibly beneficial. Mastering a skill is difficult and requires a significant amount of time. Before a cultivator can master a single skill, they often need to spend months, if not years, practicing.
For those with low comprehension, even spending a year might not be enough. Some cultivators may need up to a hundred years to master their skills to the SSE stage. However, the system offers Karsha the chance to train for an entire day inside the subspace while, in reality, only an hour passes.
Thus, spending a whole week in the subspace equates to just seven hours in the outside world. For someone like Karsha, who has a monstrous comprehension speed, spending just a week there will be more than enough to significantly improve his skills.
"I need to finish these tasks in 10 days and spend three days in my subspace to train and master all my skills to at least an SS rating."
Karsha initially planned to use the 13 days to achieve S-level mastery. But now that he has stumbled upon a golden opportunity, who wouldn't want to capitalize on it? Spending three days outside is equivalent to 72 days inside the subspace. That's more than enough time to master all his skills to at least an S rating.
"I need more skill points," Karsha muttered, his killing intent leaking out. He then retrieved the Legendary-rank technique he had won from the previous quest.
-------------------
< Stormstride Ninefold Path >
-- This technique harnesses the raw power of lightning to propel the cultivator with unparalleled speed and agility, allowing them to traverse vast distances in the blink of an eye.
Rank: Legendary
Type: Movement
< Does the host wish to learn this Technique >
"Yes. I want to learn in" The information of the technique flooded his mind like a tidal wave. "This Technique is golden. Too bad I only have access to the first three levels.
< First Three Levels >
[ Initiate's Bolt ]: At the first level, you learn 108 different movement combinations that utilize lightning and speed to traverse the battlefield. After Mastering all 108 levels, you will be able to rapidly move through obstacles using any form of movement tactics while leaving flashes of lightning in your trail.
Note: 108 movement combinations must be mastered before advancing to the next level.
[ Thunderstep ]: At level two, you will learn to use the lightning more closely. You will learn how to ride the lightning from one point to the next. You will learn to cover great distances with just a single stride. You will also be able to use the lightning as offense while juggling between each movement technique.
Note: Master all 64 techniques before advancing to the next phase. These 64 techniques can be achieved by combining one or more combinations from the first level.
Note: Combining all and further combining the 64 to 32 will advance your understanding of the Lightning element even further.
[ Flash Dash ]: At the level practitioner achieves near-instantaneous movement, disappearing and reappearing in a flash of lightning. This advanced technique enables them to weave through complex environments with ease, bypassing obstacles and adversaries alike with lightning-fast precision.
Note: Master the 8 disappearing acts before advancing to the fourth stage.

"Wow, this is a great technique. System, take me to the Subspace for a day," Karsha said. He felt his consciousness leave his body for a moment, and his vision darkened briefly.
"Wow, this place is huge," Karsha exclaimed as he gazed at the infinite expanse of grassland stretching far and wide. There were no mountains or tall trees; the whole area was just plain grassland.
The only distinct feature was the three moons in the sky. There was no sun or stars, giving the whole space a gloomy look and feel.
< To advance to the next tier, the host will need 1,000,000 Tier 5 monster cores, 500,000 Tier 6 monster cores, or 250,000 Tier 7 monster cores. >
Perhaps noticing Karsha's dull-eyed look as he surveyed the area, the system decided to provide him with a way forward.
"That many?" Karsha screamed at the top of his voice as he read the system message. "How am I going to get that many monster cores?"
< I advise the host to upgrade this space to Tier Two and unlock new features. >
Karsha brushed the suggestion aside and decided to run a few movement combinations from the first level of the Stormstride Ninefold Path, Initiate's Bolt.
< Running the first six combinations. >
A clone resembling Karsha materialized in front of him, appearing like a twin. Electricity crackled across its body, making it look like the god of lightning.
"Start," Karsha muttered. Instantly, his clone dashed forward, leaving behind a faint trail of crackling energy.
"What the hell? When did he move? How was he able to move that fast?" Karsha shouted. The clone moved so quickly that he couldn't see it until it was a few kilometers away.
The sudden movement was astonishingly fast, and the more Karsha observed, the more shocked he became. However, as he continued to watch the clone, the movements started to make sense, and his understanding began to deepen.
In an instant, he began to capture the movements like a series of photographs. The strange part was, as he continued to observe his clone executing the perfect combinations, he felt a sense of déjà vu.
It felt like he had once performed those combinations himself. This feeling alone enhanced his understanding to a new level.
< Six more combinations have been added. >
The system added six more combinations, but that wasn't enough to stop Karsha. He felt like he could comprehend all the movements within a day.
"What is happening to me?" Karsha muttered, feeling strange sensations coursing through his body. He had been training for a few minutes in the subspace, but in the outside world, only a short time had passed. His understanding was expanding at a rapid pace, something that shouldn't be possible.
He could feel his comprehension deepening with each passing moment, a sense of clarity and insight that defied explanation. It was as if the subspace was accelerating not just time, but his very ability to learn and master skills.
"This... this is incredible," Karsha said, realizing that the subspace was enhancing his abilities far beyond his expectations. "At this rate, I'll be able to master all my skills in no time."

< Congratulations, you have successfully comprehended the first level of the Stormstride Ninefold Path technique. >
< Does the host wish to start with the second level? >
"No. I need some time to think," Karsha said, closing his eyes and entering deep thought.
"Something is wrong with me. How was I able to learn 108 combinations within an hour?" Karsha questioned rhetorically. "I need to figure out what's going on with me before I accidentally hurt myself or someone close to me," he muttered, then stood up.
"Let's see how great this technique is," he said. In a flash of lightning, Karsha vanished from sight, leaving only a trail of crackling energy behind.
The first combination is simple: gather momentum in the legs for an instantaneous dash. The second involves sidestepping while running, an evasion tactic useful when dodging projectiles.
The third combination is zigzag running, while the fourth deals with coating the feet with lightning energy to further amplify speed. The fifth involves using the momentum to leap into the air, covering a great distance.
However, when Karsha reached the sixth combination, something changed. Instead of the usual black and white lightning plates forming on the ground to boost his speed, a golden disk appeared.
Once he stepped on it, his speed multiplied by five, allowing him to cover a few kilometers instantly. But this was a dangerous and foolish move. His body, though strong, was not yet capable of handling such extreme speed.
"Damn it, that hurts," Karsha groaned as he dusted off his clothes. The instantaneous speed boost was too much for him, causing him to trip and fall hard on the ground.
"System, what was that?" he asked.
< The host's understanding of the Initiate's Bolt has reached the SSE stage and is on the verge of entering assimilation. However, the host is still too weak to use the assimilated form of the technique. >
"Well, I am already fast, so lower it to the SS level and raise it when I attain the level for SSS, SSS+, SSE, and Assimilation or whatever you call it."
< Noted. >
"That's more like it," Karsha said as he started moving again. After running through the entire 108 combinations three times within three hours, he stopped and looked at the clone.
"System, I need two swords and equip the clone as well. It's time to test my swordplay against a perfect version of myself." Two swords appeared in Karsha's hands.
"Let's see where I am lacking," he said, vanishing from his position and clashing with the clone, who immediately used the second combination to sidestep.
Karsha jumped into the air, raising both swords. Using the momentum, he slashed down hard at the clone, who used the 30th movement to create a lightning net. The clone ran in a circle so fast that the lightning energy left behind formed a net.
Boom! Karsha's sword slammed into the net, and he was sent flying, slamming hard into the ground and dying instantly.
"Haha! That is awesome. Again!" Karsha laughed like a maniac the moment he respawned.
He dashed at the clone, who maintained a neutral expression. They clashed again, executing dozens of attacks within a second.
"Again," Karsha said as he respawned the second time.
"Again."
"Again."
"Again."
---
"Again," Karsha said for the hundredth time. Instead of being enraged by being continuously killed, a satisfied smile adorned his face.
"Again." And just like that, Karsha continued his fight with his clone for 36 straight hours before stopping.
"This is awesome!" he shouted like a maniac. For the first time in 36 hours, he managed to execute all 108 combinations without getting his head chopped off.
He looked at the clone and muttered, "I'll be back, pal." His consciousness faded again, and in an instant, he was back in the real world, where only an hour and a half had passed.
