Chapter 206: Time Altar, Heaven-Shocking Opportunity!
Not long after.
Ye Bai stood beside the Time Altar located at the center of the Secret Realm.
Although the trial had already ended, and he had stayed in the Secret Realm for a very long time.
Ye Bai could imagine how anxious Meigui and the students of Qingshan Martial Arts University outside must be.
But it was on the way, after all, and this was an Altar capable of a maximum of ten times the time flow rate!
Ye Bai truly could not bring himself to leave immediately without coming over to take a look.
"And my intuition tells me that the amount of Time Sand required to reach ten times the time flow rate is absolutely staggering."
"I need to know a rough estimate in advance so I can properly manage the Time Sand in my hands!"
And it is worth mentioning.
Although the system's female voice did not explicitly tell him how to obtain ten times the time flow rate using the Time Altar, or how much Time Sand it would consume.
But stepping onto the Altar, he walked to the very center.
Here, on the flat Altar, were the only two items.
One was an ultra-small transparent funnel whose base was inseparable from the Altar.
One was a stone tablet.
There was no need to say much about the funnel; Ye Bai knew at a glance that it was the place to deposit Time Sand.
What is worth mentioning is the stone tablet.
【Time Altar Detailed Explanation】
It clearly marked the details of the Time Altar, as well as all the precautions to take while using the Time Altar!
First is the method of use: it truly only requires depositing Time Sand into the funnel on the side, and then he does not need to do anything extra; within the range that just happens to accommodate him sitting cross-legged, with the funnel as the center, the flow of time will change!
If he is not within this range during that time, the Altar pauses the change in flow rate and will not waste the Time Sand already deposited.
The specific flow rate is determined by the amount of Time Sand he deposits.
But the consumption is exactly as Ye Bai thought.
Staggering, very staggering!
Depositing one hundred portions of Time Sand can obtain one time the flow rate!
Five hundred portions, five times!
Only by depositing one thousand portions of Time Sand at once can the time flow rate reach ten times!
The key is that originally, one portion of Time Sand could be used continuously for seven days.
But the Time Sand deposited into the Altar, without exception, can only last for six hours!
"In other words, if I want to maintain ten times the time flow rate, even for just one day, I have to consume four thousand portions of Time Sand..."
"Nine days would take thirty-six thousand portions; all the Time Sand I have in my hands combined isn't enough?!"
Ye Bai had originally thought that even with the Time Altar, he would sell a portion of the Time Sand in exchange for Merit Points to feed the God-Slaying Spear!
Now he suddenly realized that he seemed to be very short on money after all...
The information on the stone tablet also told Ye Bai that he could not only enjoy ten times the time flow rate himself.
After the time flow rate reaches the limit of ten times, if one waits ten seconds before continuing to deposit Time Sand, the Altar will default to these portions of Time Sand being used for a "renewal."
That is to say, the next one thousand portions of Time Sand will keep the ten times time flow rate maintained for twelve hours.
But if one continues to deposit within ten seconds, it will default to expanding the range of the time flow rate changed by the Altar.
However, not to mention that others can only use ten times the time flow rate.
For every two thousand additional portions of Time Sand deposited, one more person can be accommodated to enjoy the exaggerated ten times flow rate!
Ye Bai had indeed thought about letting Li Qingqing also enjoy the ten times time flow rate; after all, the young girl's growth only required constant comprehension of Martial Techniques, only here she lacked the support of a Martial Arts Training Room.
Now it seems, he can't afford it, he really can't afford it!
The only thing worth rejoicing about is that the information on the stone tablet went on to tell Ye Bai that although he had passed the Inheritor trial and cleared all the levels.
He had not taken away all the Time Sand, only eighty percent from each level.
Ye Bai could also repeatedly challenge these levels!
In other words.
As long as Ye Bai spends some time, he can still get his hands on more than six thousand more portions of Time Sand.
Moreover, Ye Bai becoming an Inheritor does not affect the Time Secret Realm condensing Time Sand on its own; ten times the time flow rate is a sustainable positive buff.
"Let's go out first."
Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief anyway.
He then decided to go out first to report his safety to everyone outside, and later enter the Secret Realm again to become stronger as quickly as possible.
And the day was already almost over.
Qin Churan had said she would set off for Magic City today.
It is very likely she has already arrived, and he still has to go pick up Qin Churan.
He quickly left through the portal.
"He's out, he's out!"
"Junior Ye Bai is out!"
And just as Ye Bai had expected, the students of Qingshan Martial Arts University had been waiting outside the whole time.
"Junior Ye Bai, are you alright?"
Students immediately crowded around to show concern for Ye Bai.
Once the words were spoken, everyone else fell silent, the kind of silence where they looked at Ye Bai with nervous eyes!
"Thank you all for your concern, I'm fine," Ye Bai said with a faint smile.
Only then did the students completely set their minds at ease.
"Look, look, I told you Junior Ye Bai was fine!
The moment he came out, I noticed that Junior Ye Bai is exactly the same as when he first entered the Secret Realm; he really wasn't affected by the side effects of the Secret Realm!"
"Heh, hindsight is 20/20.
I wonder who it was, just now, looking at Junior Ye Bai all nervous and jittery."
"Still calling him Junior Ye Bai? Hurry up and call him White God!"
"White God has created a miracle that has never appeared since the founding of Qingshan Martial Arts University!"
"Ah, right, White God! This time, he stayed in the Secret Realm for a full six-plus hours!"
Following this, there was a burst of commotion.
Seeing this, Ye Bai couldn't help but smile slightly.
Although the students of Qingshan Martial Arts University all seemed a bit unreliable.
It was clear that their concern for him this time was genuine!
"Um, White God, could you tell us about your harvest from this Hidden Opportunity?
That was a Hidden Opportunity that no one had ever triggered before you; you must have obtained a lot of Time Sand, right?"
Then, a voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Bai did not spot the owner of the voice and just assumed it was one of the Qingshan Martial Arts University students, so he didn't take it to heart.
"I, um, obtained about three thousand portions of Time Sand..."
After thinking about it again, Ye Bai stated a number.
He had a total of thirty-three thousand portions of Time Sand in his hands.
Plus the remaining twenty percent in the Secret Realm that he hadn't obtained.
At his absolute limit, he could bring out over thirty-nine thousand portions of Time Sand.
But maintaining a ten-fold time flow rate for nine days required a full thirty-six thousand portions of Time Sand!
Furthermore, as long as the Altar was used, the consumption rate of Time Sand was constant.
There was no significant difference between a one-fold flow rate for ten days and a ten-fold flow rate for one day.
Ye Bai therefore decided to keep the Time Sand needed for the next nine days for himself.
He was prepared to trade away the remaining three thousand-plus portions of Time Sand in exchange for Merit Points to buy War Soldiers and feed the God-Slaying Spear.
And since a student had taken the initiative to ask, in Ye Bai's eyes, it was the perfect time for a trade!
The entire scene went quiet.
"Is the Time Sand I obtained a bit too little?" Ye Bai noticed something was wrong and probed.
Should have reported a few hundred more.
He had held back a few hundred portions, intending to keep them for a rainy day.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
He had faced an Inheritance Trial that no one had ever encountered before; obtaining only this little Time Sand was indeed lacking in credibility.
Then...
"Holy crap, holy crap!"
The entire scene erupted...
