Chapter 432: Chapter 375: Minds in Harmony
The recently defeated Fifth Level Wizard focused intently on the light screen, carefully observing Jeming’s movements within the phase space.
As he watched, he immediately understood why he couldn’t sense Jeming’s approach and why other wizards were so shocked.
On the light screen, the energy outline representing Jeming traversed the phase gaps, and his body was surrounded by a thin, almost undetectable silver-gray sheen—this was the effect of the Space Stabilization magic!
"He’s... Is he really multitasking, maintaining two types of spatial magic at the same time?!" The Fifth Level Wizard took a sharp breath, instantly realizing, "He’s using stealth-type spatial magic to conceal himself while using stabilization magic to ’nail down’ the space in a very small area around him, perfectly masking the spatial fluctuations caused by his movement! That’s why I couldn’t sense anything unusual!"
No!
He suddenly recalled the bait-like spatial fluctuation he sensed in another direction before being attacked!
"It’s not multitasking... It’s triple-tasking!" A more terrifying thought crossed his mind, "Is he also creating a fake spatial fluctuation to mislead me?!"
What kind of monstrous spiritual power control and computational power does this require?!
Simultaneously and precisely controlling two or even three high-tier witchcraft involving complex space rules while executing tactical deception and a lethal strike in a flash...
"This computational power?! Is this guy really a Third Level Wizard?!"
The Fifth Level Wizard watched the figure in the light screen move seamlessly through the crevices of space, quietly hunting for his next prey, leaving him in endless shock and bewilderment.
...
...
While everyone was discussing, Jeming repeated his old trick. Using Spatial Slash, he harvested another wizard.
Unfortunately, this wizard was not a Fifth Level Wizard.
Jeming relied on his lifebound magical treasure—the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror—to achieve this.
After nearly a millennium of careful nurturing and the subtle influence of Red Dust Qi, the spirituality cultivated within the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror had grown increasingly robust, and its connection with Jeming’s soul had become ever closer.
Now, it can function as an independent "external computing unit," alleviating Jeming’s immense computational pressure.
When Jeming simultaneously performed Phase Shift, Space Stabilization, and prepared Spatial Slash or created a spatial fluctuation decoy, the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror not only handled most of the real-time calculations for maintaining Space Stabilization but also took over part of the dynamic calibration tasks for Phase Shift.
This allowed Jeming to focus his main attention on tactical choices, timing, and lethal strikes, making the miracle of multitasking—triple, quadruple, or even more threads—possible!
Other wizards, such as Reks, also have similar auxiliary means.
The intelligent chip "Weaver" implanted in his body possesses powerful parallel computing capabilities, which can assist him in constructing complex witchcraft models and even provide optimized solutions during combat.
However, there is an insurmountable barrier to this "chip-assisted" model when it comes to sustaining self-applied spatial magic—information transmission delay.
The data calculated by the "Weaver" needs to be "transmitted" through neural interfaces or soul links to Reks’ main consciousness.
After Reks receives this data, there is still a very brief process of "understanding" and "confirmation" before it can be converted into precise control over the magic.
This "transmission-understanding" process, no matter how fast, is too slow for sustaining spatial magic that requires constant response to self-movement, external energy disturbances, and minute changes in spatial structure!
This slight delay is enough to cause phase coordinate drift, create ripples in the stabilization force field, which could expose his whereabouts, or even trigger a spatial backlash!
The Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror perfectly solves this problem with its most core and fundamental ability as a "lifebound magical treasure": spiritual harmony.
Spiritual harmony is not a simple spiritual connection, but a deeper fusion and sharing between the treasure’s spirituality and the host’s soul.
The complex computational data required for spatial magic is shared and processed in parallel between Jeming’s soul and the mirror’s spirituality from the start, with no "transmission" step involved.
The Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror acts like a natural external organ of Jeming’s soul, and its computation is an innate part of Jeming.
This seemingly insignificant "zero-delay" advantage becomes a decisive key in the application of high-end spatial magic!
It’s precisely because of this that Jeming can perform operations that seem almost impossible to others, transforming himself into an invisible death god lurking in the crevices of space.
...
...
Within the competition area, Jeming used this special skill like a top predator weaving through the chaos of the battlefield.
Time and again, he performed the old trick, using Patroller positioning, luring with false fluctuations, and then launching a lethal surprise attack from the most unexpected angle.
Unfortunately, good fortune doesn’t always favor.
Among the wizards he hunted subsequently, only two were Fifth Level; the rest were Fourth or Third Level.
Feeling the series of elemental storms erupting in the distant sky, far more violent and lasting than before, Jeming frowned slightly.
"Has it started..." he thought to himself.
Since just now, the number of wizards that can be tracked in the area has noticeably decreased, replaced by several large-scale, higher energy level frontal conflicts.
This indicates that the remaining wizards have gradually abandoned the initial strategy of hiding and waiting for an opportunity. They have started actively seeking opponents for head-on confrontations, trying to clean up the battlefield quickly and reduce variables.
And the fact that he continuously hunted multiple wizards, especially cleanly eliminating two Fifth Level Wizards with strange spatial abilities and formidable attack power, surely has alerted the other survivors.
His tactical characteristics, attack patterns, and even possibly exposed habits would be repeatedly analyzed and pondered by opponents.
In this level of melee, intelligence is fluid.
Any effective tactic, once exposed, will greatly diminish in power.
The problem is, in such situations, intelligence cannot be concealed.
It doesn’t even require field investigation; the spatial and elemental fluctuations he triggers in the instant of action are enough for someone to analyze a substantial amount of information.
It’s foreseeable that the upcoming enemies will be more vigilant, and the countermeasures against spatial surprise attacks will be more sophisticated.
The difficulty of his hunt is rising sharply.
"However... Judging from the intensity of the energy fluctuations erupting from these few points, the remaining Fifth Level Wizards should also be unable to hold back and are starting to personally clear the field." Jeming assessed the powerful auras like the core of storms, swiftly evaluating in his mind, "The number of remaining Fifth Level Wizards on the field... Should be less than five."
This number, although still greatly pressured, is not beyond the possibility of battle.
"If operated properly, before the Black Giant Priest exhausts, maybe... there’s a chance to take them all out!" Various thoughts flashed through Jeming’s mind.
Confirming the next tactic, Jeming’s eyes narrowed, locking onto a recently settled area but with lingering strong Fifth Level Wizard energy fluctuations.
There, a battle just ended, and the victor might not have had the chance to take a breath and set up defenses.
Silently shifting in the phase space, Jeming dashed toward the new target like a hunting shark diving into the deep sea.
