Having sorted out the key information and determined the direction of future research, Wang Zheng quickly composed himself and then spoke to the ferocious beast:
"Since you've brought this up yourself, let's have an open and honest discussion."
You need me to improve my strength so that you can recover faster.
At the same time, I also hope to grow stronger as soon as possible, so our goals are the same. Why don't you return that panel first, so I can improve my strength more quickly...
"You can make any requests you have. We're in this together, so there's no need to be so defensive. We can talk about anything."
Regarding Wang Zheng's request, the beast thought it was possible, but unnecessary.
Re-establishing a connection with the original entity requires a lot of resources and a long period of rest. He had finally managed to collect this little bit of energy, so how could he possibly let Wang Zheng benefit from it for nothing?
Besides, although Wang Zheng himself doesn't know yet, the Ferocious Beast is very clear about this kid's strength.
For him, his current abilities are more than enough.
As for whether Wang Zheng's strength can be improved, that's no longer that important. The beast now only asks that Wang Zheng obediently return to Jingnan and stay there. As long as he doesn't go out and cause trouble, there won't be any other problems.
However, it's obvious that Young Master Wang won't do as he wishes...
Seeing that the beast in front of him did not answer for a long time, Wang Zheng knew very well that it was not that the beast was incapable, but that it was simply unwilling to help him.
Although I don't know what the cost will be, at least I know that there is a chance to get that panel back, and that's enough.
Moreover, Wang Zheng knew the indifferent nature of this ferocious beast; if it didn't concern itself, it certainly wouldn't help him unconditionally just because he asked.
There was no better way at the moment, so he didn't dwell on it. There would be plenty of time to extract relevant information later, and then he would make a plan.
Ever since he saw through the selfish and ruthless true nature of this beast, Young Master Wang no longer considered it to be on his side.
He knew very well that for such a primordial beast, a straightforward exchange of benefits or coercion would definitely be more effective.
In any case, this is much easier to deal with than those two-faced superhumans.
Wang Zheng believed that given enough time, he could definitely find out the guy's weakness, and then he wouldn't have to worry about him not giving in...
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng immediately changed his approach and began to use a strategy of retreat to advance, probing the issue of time manipulation.
"If there's nothing I can do, then so be it. I won't force you. But you can tell me what's going on with this special potential development problem. I've set off two or three times and still have no clue."
"After all, according to you, I'm an Earthling, and there's no way I can awaken innate supernatural abilities. So where does this so-called potential come from?"
In this regard, although the beast in front of him is only an avatar, he possesses all the memories of the beast and is definitely a big shot in the field of spatial domain.
Even if Wang Zheng doesn't gain anything tangible by using this as a starting point, at least his understanding of the power of time and space will be deeper.
Moreover, after refusing Wang Zheng's request to re-establish the connection, the beast must have felt somewhat embarrassed, especially since Wang Zheng had acted so magnanimously.
Now that he's asking, he'll definitely reveal more details.
As expected, the beast pondered for a moment after hearing Wang Zheng's question before speaking:
"Although I don't know the specifics, if I'm not mistaken, it's because you traveled through time and space from Earth and unconsciously absorbed the energy emitted by that river of time..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng was overjoyed. All he had shown so far was the ability to accelerate time, but according to the beast, he might be able to develop some kind of spatial ability in the future.
Now that he no longer has the Crimson Cloud, he can't fly without activating his Dharma Form, just like his father. If he could have a way to teleport or travel long distances, he would be able to fly even faster. Moreover, this would also help him travel through space and return to Earth.
Hearing this, Young Master Wang's heart burned with excitement, and he continued to press for answers:
"If the relevant ability existed long ago, why hasn't it been developed for so long? Is it because the ability isn't strong enough to transcend the mortal realm, or is there some missing incentive?"
"That's right. Everyone knows that using abilities requires consuming spiritual energy, but ultimately it depends on an individual's physical condition. That's why all attributes encounter bottlenecks after reaching 99. This is what you're meant to accumulate and refine."
Faced with the beast's explanation, Wang Zheng suddenly thought of Chi Bofei, whom he had encountered when he had just awakened, and then continued to ask:
“I see other awakened individuals with spatial abilities. Aren’t their physical strengths also substandard? How could they possibly be stronger than me? How can they use these abilities?”
The ferocious beast silently shook its head.
"Superpowers and the spacetime power within you are not the same thing at all. If you have to say, one is an ability brought by spiritual energy, and the other is the rule that constructs the balance of all things in the world. They are fundamentally different."
Moreover, if you were to allow a newly awakened spatial ability user to directly construct a long-distance spatial portal, the outcome would be the same: utter collapse.
As for the opportunity you mentioned, that's a question for you to answer. Before this, had you ever personally imagined that you might one day awaken such supernatural powers?
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng suddenly realized what was going on.
It matches up! It all matches up! When I saw the Peacock Demon King's supernatural powers, I was so envious. This must be the opportunity to activate this bit of ability.
So this is also caused by one's own inner obsession?
Seeing Wang Zheng's thoughtful expression, the ferocious beast didn't press him further, but simply said:
"Actually, you should have realized it the moment you discovered that the storage space was still in your mind. This is also your own ability."
Whether it's adding energy to forcibly improve your physique or enhancing your cultivation techniques to deepen your understanding, these are all things we can help you with.
But as for this storage space, if you don't have the ability to open it yourself, you definitely won't be able to after I transform into human form..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng slapped his thigh.
I had completely overlooked this point and had taken it for granted, throwing all the benefits I had stolen into the market.
Yes, he hadn't thought about it carefully at all. He was just saying that he might be able to develop spatial abilities. If he really didn't have spatial abilities, he wouldn't even have a panel, so how could he still have this storage function...
