Chapter 235: Synchronization

"We have to think of a way," Luo Qi said anxiously. His breathing was rapid, sounding somewhat harsh in the brief silence amidst the thick fog.

"The opponent's strategic preparations are very comprehensive. Even though I don't know how many more rounds your energy can sustain, I still suggest you stop using this kind of indiscriminate attack. No matter how many times they intend to use these feints and real tactics, there will inevitably be one main assault in the end," Du Zhengyi said unhurriedly, releasing the blade in his hand, which then floated in the air.

"No," Luo Qi flatly refused. Du Zhengyi was taken aback for a moment, turning his head to look at him suspiciously. Luo Qi glanced at him and said irritably, "Don't move."

"Huh?" Du Zhengyi said. If the situation weren't urgent, he would have asked Luo Qi if he wanted a beating.

"Are you trying to disperse the fog?" Luo Qi asked, unafraid of authority.

Du Zhengyi hesitated for a moment.

"Are you planning to release Warning Magic?" Luo Qi asked, and without waiting for Du Zhengyi to answer, he flatly refused again, "No, that would cause you to lose a significant amount of energy as well."

Du Zhengyi had nothing to say. Time was ticking away, and he did not have much time to hesitate. If it weren't for Luo Qi being exceptionally firm and decisive tonight, he wouldn't have consulted him at all.

"I can expand the range of the Magic Measurement," Du Zhengyi said patiently, "and then you can perform the Yajian judgment. We can cross-reference our findings."

Luo Qi thought for three seconds, "Unless you open your barrier and agree to maintain Yajian synchronization with me."

"Include me in those thousands of souls of yours?" Du Zhengyi asked, somewhat annoyed.

Luo Qi did not want to explain useless things; there was no time left. "Otherwise, it's useless. We don't have time for cross-referencing; the speed of speaking is too slow, and the communication won't be very effective."

Du Zhengyi could not say that Luo Qi was wrong and could not help but feel a bit agitated. He had originally intended to deceive Luo Qi a little. But for some reason, Luo Qi was exceptionally difficult to deceive tonight. The kitten he had brought up had suddenly grown up; it really wasn't a happy thing.

Moreover, the speed at which Luo Qi was about to act was far faster than his own. If he were to perform Magic Measurement, it would require certain steps. Although Luo Qi's Magic also required certain steps and both needed to consume time, he was increasingly realizing that the time rhythm of a Mind Mage was completely different from that of other Mages.

He only saw Luo Qi's figure seem to freeze for an instant—Du Zhengyi didn't even have time to estimate whether this instant was a few dozen seconds—and then he felt a sudden change in the force field throughout the small town.

Du Zhengyi had nothing to say. He quickly realized what Luo Qi had attacked. Luo Qi had stretched the battle line and attacked the opponent's Magic Array directly. Luo Qi had retaliatorily pressed all his power against the instigators of those Magic Arrays, which were composed of several synchronized Mind Mages.

Doing this was practically a joke, but Luo Qi was like a rabbit provoked tonight, unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss. Since he had been fooled, he wanted to retaliate immediately. The opposing Mages perhaps never expected that Luo Qi's power could still increase, and what they thought was a safe distance was suddenly breached. Although such long-range attacks by Luo Qi would not bring catastrophic disaster to the opponent, this risky attack disrupted the opponent's formation, and Du Zhengyi suddenly realized they had gained a bit of a time advantage.
