Chapter 376

The Tier 5 wizard who had just lost also focused his attention on the light screen, carefully observing the state of Gao Jie Ming moving in phase space.

Upon seeing this, he immediately understood why he couldn't perceive Gao Jie Ming's approach, and also understood why other wizards were so surprised.

In the light screen, when the energy outline representing Gao Jie Ming shuttled through the phase gaps, there was actually a thin, almost imperceptible silver-gray luster covering his body—that was the effect of the 【Spatial Stability】 spell!

"He... he actually used one mind for two tasks, maintaining two spatial spells at the same time?!" The Tier 5 wizard gasped, instantly realizing, "He used a concealment-type spatial spell to hide himself, and at the same time used a spell to stabilize space to 'nail down' the space in a very small range around himself, thereby perfectly covering up the spatial fluctuations caused by movement! That's why I couldn't perceive any abnormality!"

No!

He suddenly remembered the bait-like spatial fluctuation he perceived in another direction before he was attacked!

"Not one mind for two tasks... it's one mind for three tasks!" A thought that made him feel even more horrified emerged, "He was also distracted to create a fake spatial fluctuation to mislead me?!"

What kind of terrifying spiritual power control ability and computational power does this require?!

Simultaneously and precisely controlling two or even three high-tier spells with different effects, all involving complex spatial rules, and being able to complete tactical deception and a fatal blow in the blink of an eye...

"This computational power?! Is this guy really a Tier 3 wizard?!"

The Tier 5 wizard looked at the figure in the light screen who was like a fish in water in the spatial gaps, quietly looking for the next prey, and only endless shock and confusion remained in his heart.

While everyone was discussing, Gao Jie Ming repeated his old trick here. Relying on the Spatial Slash, he captured another wizard.

Unfortunately, this wizard was not a Tier 5 wizard.

Gao Jie Ming was able to do this, and the reliance he depended on was his natal magic treasure—the Five-Essence Rainbow Mirror!

After nearly a thousand years of careful nourishment and the subtle influence of the aura of the mundane world, the spirituality nurtured within the Five-Essence Rainbow Mirror grew stronger day by day, and its connection with Gao Jie Ming's soul became increasingly close.

Now, it could act as an independent "external computing unit," sharing the massive computational pressure for Gao Jie Ming.

When Gao Jie Ming simultaneously cast 【Phase Shift】 and 【Spatial Stability】 and prepared 【Spatial Slash】 or created spatial fluctuation bait, the Five-Essence Rainbow Mirror could not only undertake most of the real-time calculation work of maintaining 【Spatial Stability】 but also take on part of the dynamic calibration tasks of 【Phase Shift】.

This allowed Gao Jie Ming to focus his main mind on tactical choices, timing, and fatal strikes, thereby achieving the miracle of one mind for three, four, or even more thread operations!

Other wizards, such as Rex, actually had similar auxiliary means.

The intelligent chip "Spell Weaver" implanted in his body possessed powerful parallel computing capabilities, which could assist him in constructing complex spell models and even provide optimization plans during battle.

However, for spatial spells that were cast on oneself and operated continuously, this "chip-assisted" mode had an insurmountable obstacle—information transmission delay.

The data calculated by "Spell Weaver" needed to be "transmitted" to Rex's main consciousness via a neural interface or soul link.

After Rex received this data, he still needed a very short "understanding" and "confirmation" process before he could transform it into precise regulation of the spell.

This "transmission-understanding" process, no matter how fast, appeared too slow for continuous spatial spells that needed to respond to one's own movement, external energy disturbances, and subtle changes in spatial structure at all times!

This delay was enough to cause phase coordinate drift and ripples in the stable force field, thereby exposing his whereabouts and even triggering spatial backlash!

And the Five-Essence Rainbow Mirror, relying on its core and most basic ability as a "natal magic treasure"—communion of heart and mind—perfectly solved this problem.

The so-called communion of heart and mind was not a simple spiritual connection, but a partial fusion and sharing of the magic treasure's spirituality and the host's soul at a deeper level.

Those complex calculation data required to maintain spatial spells were shared directly between Gao Jie Ming's soul and the Five-Essence Rainbow Mirror's spirituality from the beginning, processed in parallel, without the "transmission" step at all.

The Five-Essence Rainbow Mirror was like a natural extension organ of Gao Jie Ming's soul; its calculation was part of Gao Jie Ming's "instinct."

This seemingly insignificant "zero-delay" advantage became the decisive key in the application of high-end spatial spells!

It was precisely by relying on this point that Gao Jie Ming was able to complete operations that seemed almost impossible to others, turning himself into an invisible god of death wandering in the gaps of space.

In the competition area, Gao Jie Ming relied on this unique skill, like a top-tier predator, shuttling through the chaotic battlefield.

He repeated his old tricks time and again, using the patroller to locate, using fake fluctuations to lure the enemy, and then launching a fatal surprise attack from the most unexpected angle with the momentum of thunder.

Unfortunately, good luck did not always favor him.

Among the several wizards he hunted subsequently, only two were Tier 5, and the rest were Tier 4 or Tier 3.

Feeling the elemental storms erupting one after another in the distant sky, which were far more violent and lasting than before, Gao Jie Ming frowned slightly.

"Has it started..." he thought to himself.

Since just now, the number of wizard traces that could be searched in the area had significantly decreased, replaced by several head-on conflicts with larger scales and higher energy levels.

This meant that the remaining wizards had gradually abandoned the initial strategy of hiding themselves and waiting for an opportunity, and had begun to actively look for opponents for head-on confrontations, attempting to clear the battlefield as soon as possible and reduce variables.

And his continuous hunting of multiple wizards before, especially the clean and neat elimination of two Tier 5 wizards, and the strange spatial ability and powerful attack power he displayed, must have already aroused the high vigilance of other survivors.

His tactical characteristics, attack patterns, and even the slight habits he might have exposed would be repeatedly analyzed and pondered by his opponents.

In this level of melee, information is fluid.

Once any effective tactic is exposed, its power will be greatly reduced.

The problem is that in this situation, information cannot be hidden.

Even without on-site investigation, the spatial and elemental fluctuations he triggered the moment he attacked were enough for people to analyze enough information.

It is foreseeable that the next enemies will have tighter defenses, and countermeasures against spatial surprise attacks will be more perfect.

The difficulty of his hunting is rising in a straight line.

"However... judging from the intensity of the energy fluctuations erupting from these few places, the remaining Tier 5 wizards should also be unable to hold back and have begun to personally enter the field to clear the area," Gao Jie Ming sensed those powerful auras like the cores of storms, evaluating quickly in his heart, "The number of remaining Tier 5 wizards on the field... should be less than five."

This number, although still under huge pressure, was not without the strength to fight.

"If operated properly, before the Giant Priest is exhausted, perhaps... there is a chance to eat them all!" Various thoughts flashed through Gao Jie Ming's mind.

Having determined the next tactic, Gao Jie Ming's eyes focused, locking onto an area that had just calmed down but still had strong Tier 5 wizard energy fluctuations remaining.

There, a battle had just ended, and the winner might not have had time to catch their breath and set up defenses.

His figure turned quietly in phase space, and Gao Jie Ming, like a hunting shark diving into the deep sea, sped toward the new target.
