Chapter 376: Minds in Harmony

The fifth-level wizard who had just been defeated also focused intently on the light screen, carefully observing Jie Ming’s movement within phase space.

With this look, he immediately understood why he had failed to detect Jie Ming’s approach—and why the other wizards were so astonished.

On the screen, Jie Ming’s energy outline glided through the phase gap, surrounded by a thin, almost imperceptible layer of silver-gray radiance—that was the effect of [Spatial Stabilization]!

“He… he’s actually dual-tasking, maintaining two spatial witchcrafts simultaneously?!” The fifth-level wizard gasped, instant realization dawning. “He uses a concealment-type spatial witchcraft to hide himself while stabilizing an extremely small area of space around him with [Spatial Stabilization], perfectly masking the fluctuations from his movement! That’s why I detected nothing unusual!”

No!

He suddenly recalled the decoy-like spatial fluctuation he had sensed in another direction before the assault!

“It’s not dual-tasking… it’s triple-tasking!” An even more horrifying thought emerged. “He was also diverting focus to create a false spatial fluctuation to mislead me?!”

What terrifying mental force control and computational power was this?!

Precisely manipulating two—or even three—different high-tier spatial witchcrafts involving complex spatial rules simultaneously, while completing tactical deception and a lethal strike in a flash…

“This computational load?! Is this guy really a third-level wizard?!”

Gazing at the figure on the screen effortlessly navigating the spatial crevices, silently seeking his next prey, the fifth-level wizard’s heart filled with endless shock and bewilderment.

…

…

As the discussions continued, Jie Ming repeated his tactics.

Relying on Spatial Slash, he claimed another wizard.

Unfortunately, this one was not fifth-level.

Jie Ming’s ability to achieve this relied on his natal treasure—the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror!

After nearly a thousand years of careful nurturing and subtle influence from mortal dust qi, the spirituality bred within the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror had grown increasingly robust, its soul connection with Jie Ming ever deeper.

Now, it could function as an independent “external computational unit,” alleviating Jie Ming’s immense computational burden.

When Jie Ming simultaneously cast [Phase Shift], [Spatial Stabilization], and prepared [Spatial Slash] or created decoy spatial fluctuations, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror not only handled most real-time calculations for maintaining [Spatial Stabilization] but also took on part of the dynamic calibration for [Phase Shift].

This allowed Jie Ming to focus his primary attention on tactical choices, timing, and lethal strikes—achieving the miracle of triple-tasking, quadruple-tasking, or even more threads!

Other wizards, like Rex, had similar aids.

The intelligent chip “Weaver” implanted in his body possessed powerful parallel computation, assisting in constructing complex witchcraft models and even providing optimization during combat.

However, for self-applied ongoing spatial witchcrafts, this “chip assistance” faced an insurmountable barrier: information transmission delay.

Data computed by “Weaver” needed to be “transmitted” to Rex’s primary consciousness via neural interface or soul link.

Rex then required a brief “comprehension” and “confirmation” process before converting it into precise witchcraft control.

This “transmission-comprehension” delay, however brief, was too slow for ongoing spatial witchcrafts that demanded constant response to self-movement, external energy interference, and minute spatial structure changes!

That slight lag could cause phase coordinate drift or ripples in the stabilization field—exposing position or even triggering spatial backlash!

The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, with its core natal treasure ability—minds in harmony—perfectly resolved this.

Minds in harmony was not mere mental connection but a deeper partial fusion and sharing between the treasure’s spirituality and the host’s soul.

The vast computational data for maintaining spatial witchcrafts was directly shared and processed in parallel between Jie Ming’s soul and the mirror’s spirituality from the start—no “transmission” step.

The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror was like a natural extension organ of Jie Ming’s soul; its computations were part of Jie Ming’s “instinct.”

This seemingly minor “zero-delay” advantage became decisive in high-end spatial witchcraft application!

It was precisely this that allowed Jie Ming to perform operations others deemed nearly impossible, transforming himself into an intangible god of death prowling the spatial crevices.

…

…

Within the contest area, Jie Ming relied on this supreme technique, moving like an apex predator through the chaotic battlefield.

Time and again, he repeated his ploy: using Prowlers for positioning, false fluctuations to lure enemies, then striking like thunder from the most unexpected angle with devastating assaults.

Unfortunately, good fortune did not favor him endlessly.

Among his subsequent hunts, only two were fifth-level; the rest fourth- or third-level.

Sensing the successive, far more intense and prolonged elemental storms erupting on the distant horizon, Jie Ming frowned slightly.

“It’s begun…” he thought.

From earlier, traceable wizard signatures in the area had noticeably decreased, replaced by several larger-scale, higher-energy direct confrontations.

This meant surviving wizards had gradually abandoned initial hiding and opportunistic strategies, shifting to actively seeking opponents for head-on clashes to clear the field faster and reduce variables.

His consecutive hunts—especially cleanly eliminating two fifth-level wizards—had inevitably drawn high alertness from other survivors, showcasing his bizarre spatial capabilities and ferocious attack power.

His tactical patterns, attack modes, and even minor habits would be repeatedly analyzed and anticipated by opponents.

In a melee of this caliber, intelligence flowed.

Any effective tactic, once exposed, lost much of its potency.

The issue was that intelligence could not be concealed here.

Even without direct scouting, the spatial and elemental fluctuations from his strikes revealed ample information for analysis.

Predictably, future enemies would defend more rigorously, with far better countermeasures against spatial assaults.

His hunting difficulty was rising sharply.

“However… judging from the intensity of those erupting fluctuations, the remaining fifth-level wizards can no longer hold back and have begun personally clearing the field.” Jie Ming sensed those storm-core-like powerful auras, rapidly assessing. “Fewer than five fifth-level wizards left on the field.”

That number, though still immensely pressuring, was not unwinnable.

“If handled properly, before the black giant priests are exhausted… there might be a chance to devour them all!” Various thoughts flashed through Jie Ming’s mind.

Settling on his next tactic, Jie Ming’s eyes sharpened, locking onto an area that had just quieted but still lingered with strong fifth-level wizard energy fluctuations.

A battle had just ended there; the victor might not yet have time to recover or set defenses.

His figure silently shifted direction in phase space, racing toward the new target like a hunting shark diving into deep waters.
