The defeated fifth-tier wizard focused intently on the light screen, closely observing Jieming's movements within the phase space.
With a single glance, he understood why he hadn't sensed Jieming's approach—and why the other wizards were so astonished.
On the screen, as Jieming's energy silhouette traversed the phase gap, a thin, nearly imperceptible silver-gray glow enveloped his body. It was the effect of the Spatial Stabilization wizardry!
"He's... he's actually multitasking, maintaining two different spatial wizardries at once?!" The fifth-tier wizard gasped, the realization striking him instantly. "He's using a concealment-type spatial wizardry to hide himself, while simultaneously using the spatial stabilization wizardry to 'pin' the space in his immediate vicinity. That's how he's perfectly masked the spatial fluctuations caused by his movement! No wonder I couldn't sense a thing!"
No!
He suddenly remembered the decoy-like spatial fluctuation he had sensed in another direction just before the attack!
It wasn't triple-tasking... it was something even more terrifying! A chilling realization dawned on him. He was simultaneously creating a false spatial fluctuation to mislead me?!
What kind of monstrous mental power and computational capacity would that require?!
To precisely control two, or even three, different high-tier spells—all involving complex spatial rules—and still execute a tactical deception and a lethal strike in the blink of an eye...
This level of processing power?! Is this guy really just a third-tier wizard?!
The fifth-tier wizard stared at the light screen, watching the figure move like a fish in water through the spatial rifts, silently hunting its next prey. His heart filled with endless shock and bewilderment.
While the others were still discussing, Jieming repeated his old trick, claiming another wizard with a Spatial Slash.
Unfortunately, this wizard was not a fifth-tier one.
Jieming was able to achieve this thanks to his lifebound magical treasure—the Five Aggregates Rainbow Transformation Mirror!
After nearly a thousand years of careful nurturing and the subtle influence of Mortal Dust Qi, the spirituality bred within the mirror had grown stronger day by day, and its connection to Jieming's soul had become ever tighter.
Now, it could serve as an independent "external computing unit," sharing the immense computational burden with Jieming.
When Jieming simultaneously cast Phase Shift and Spatial Stabilization while preparing a Spatial Slash or creating spatial fluctuation decoys, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Transformation Mirror could not only handle most of the real-time calculations for maintaining Spatial Stabilization but also take over part of the dynamic calibration tasks for Phase Shift.
This allowed Jieming to focus his main consciousness on tactical choices, timing, and the fatal strike, thereby achieving the miracle of triple-tasking, quadruple-tasking, or even more multi-threaded operations!
Other wizards, like Rex, had similar auxiliary methods.
The "Weaver of Laws," an intelligent chip implanted in his body, possessed powerful parallel computing capabilities. It could assist him in constructing complex wizardry models and even provide optimized strategies during battle.
However, for spatial wizardry that continuously ran while enhancing the caster, this "chip-assisted" mode faced an insurmountable obstacle: information transmission delay.
The data calculated by the "Weaver of Laws" had to be "transmitted" to Rex's main consciousness via a neural interface or soul link.
After receiving this data, Rex still needed an extremely brief "understanding" and "confirmation" process before he could convert it into precise control over the wizardry.
This "transmission-understanding" process, no matter how fast, was still too slow for continuous spatial wizardry that required constant adaptation to his own movements, external energy disturbances, and minute changes in spatial structure!
This slight delay was enough to cause phase coordinates to drift and the stabilizing force field to ripple, exposing his position or even triggering a spatial backlash!
But the Five Aggregates Rainbow Transformation Mirror, with its most core and fundamental ability as a "lifebound magical treasure"—Mind-Soul Communion—perfectly solved this problem.
So-called Mind-Soul Communion was no simple spiritual connection, but a partial fusion and sharing of the treasure's spirituality with the host's soul on a deeper level.
The vast amounts of computational data required to sustain spatial wizardry were shared and processed in parallel between Jieming's soul and the mirror's spirituality from the very beginning, completely bypassing the "transmission" step.
The Five Aggregates Rainbow Transformation Mirror was like a natural extension of Jieming's soul; its calculations were a part of his "instinct."
This seemingly insignificant "zero-latency" advantage became the decisive key in the application of high-end spatial wizardry!
It was precisely because of this that Jieming could perform maneuvers that seemed nearly impossible to others, transforming himself into an invisible reaper gliding through the gaps of space.
Within the tournament area, Jieming relied on this ultimate skill to traverse the chaotic battlefield like a top-tier predator.
He repeated his tactics again and again, using the Shuttle Hunter for localization, luring enemies with false fluctuations, and then launching lethal surprise attacks from the most unexpected angles with thunderous force.
Unfortunately, luck did not favor him forever.
Of the wizards he hunted next, only two were fifth-tier; the rest were all fourth-tier or third-tier.
Sensing the elemental storms erupting in the distant sky—much more violent and prolonged than before—Jieming frowned slightly.
So it's started... he thought.
From just a moment ago, the number of detectable wizard signatures in the area had significantly decreased, replaced by several larger-scale, higher-energy frontal conflicts.
This meant the remaining wizards were gradually abandoning their initial strategy of hiding and waiting for opportunities, choosing instead to actively seek out opponents for head-on battles, attempting to clear the battlefield as quickly as possible to reduce variables.
And his previous continuous hunting of multiple wizards, especially the clean and efficient elimination of two fifth-tier wizards, had undoubtedly alerted the other survivors to his eerie spatial abilities and formidable offensive power.
His tactical style, attack patterns, and even the slight habits he might have revealed would be repeatedly analyzed and scrutinized by his opponents.
In a melee of this level, information was fluid.
Any effective tactic, once exposed, will have its power drastically diminished.
The problem was that in this situation, information was impossible to conceal. Even without direct reconnaissance, the spatial and elemental fluctuations he triggered the moment he struck were already enough for anyone to analyze a wealth of information.
It was foreseeable that the next enemies would be even more guarded, and their countermeasures against spatial ambushes would be more complete. The difficulty of his hunt was skyrocketing.
"However... judging from the intensity of the energy fluctuations that just erupted, the remaining fifth-tier wizards should also be unable to hold back and have started to personally clear the field." Jieming sensed those powerful auras, each like the core of a storm, and quickly assessed in his mind, "The number of fifth-tier wizards remaining on the field... should be less than five."
Though this number still presented immense pressure, it was not without the chance to fight.
"If played correctly, before the Black Giant Priest is exhausted, perhaps... there is a chance to devour them all!" Various thoughts flashed through Jieming's mind.
Having finalized his next tactic, Jieming's gaze sharpened, locking onto an area that had just calmed down but still held the strong energy fluctuations of a fifth-tier wizard.
A battle had just ended there; the victor might not have even had time to catch their breath or set up defenses.
Turning silently in the phase space, Jieming, like a hunting shark diving into the deep sea, sped toward his new target.
