Mental Power with No Point of Contact
Dong Jian rarely makes a decision before a competition begins.
Mountain Domain can't help much in this situation.
The opponent's name is Lu Qing.
Four-Ring Soul Ancestor.
The Martial Soul is a Mist-Patterned Mirror.
Its attack power isn't particularly strong.
Its defenses are also mediocre.
The real problem is that the second and Third Soul Skill both have Mental Interference.
It's not about directly controlling people.
Instead, it disrupts the timing of what we see and hear.
After receiving the information, Qin Ming only said one sentence.
You don't have to go.
Dong Jian shook his head.
"Superior."
"For training?"
"To find out how much the difference is."
Qin Ming did not try to persuade him further.
Individual rotation matches are inherently good for exposing weaknesses.
As long as it's not something you knowingly do that will cause serious injury.
Losing one game is not a problem.
Li Man asked, "How do you plan to determine if it's real or fake?"
"Get close to the ground first."
"He is the real person."
"Footsteps are always real."
Li Man said, "What if the person you see isn't walking in the same direction?"
Dong Jian paused for a moment.
"Then let's trust our feet first."
The match begins.
The Mist-Patterned Mirror Martial Soul appeared behind Lu Qing.
The mirror surface is not shiny.
Instead, it was as if shrouded in a layer of gray fog.
Dong Jian's Fourth Soul Ring lit up immediately.
The Yin-Yang Mountain Domain unfolds.
The ground feedback was very clear.
Lu Qing stood at the eleven o'clock position.
Lightly step on the right foot.
The left foot is heavier.
It is moving to the side.
That's where Dong Jian's eyes were also looking.
There were no problems in the first round.
He took the initiative to approach.
Lu Qing stepped back.
The Second Soul Ring lit up.
The mirror flickered.
The person in front of Dong Jian suddenly took a step to the left.
Mountain Domain.
But their feet remained in the same place.
"Fake."
Dong Jian did not follow the left side.
Continue to focus on the actual landing point.
Lu Qing frowned slightly.
He already knew that Mountain Domain could help Dong Jian with calibration.
Next time.
The mirror moved again.
Dong Jian first heard footsteps on his right.
Mountain Domain's feedback, however, came from the left front.
The person you see is directly in front of you.
Three directions.
Dong Jian only believes in the ground.
Left front.
Mountain-Shifting Step and cut over there.
It struck with the palm.
But it was empty.
Only a very thin layer of mist dispersed.
Dong Jian's heart sank.
The ground feedback is correct.
There were indeed footsteps to the left front.
The problem is that that step was just a false landing point that Lu Qing had set up in advance.
The person has already used the next step to retreat.
Mountain Domain was able to tell him "what happened on the ground".
You cannot tell him "which step represents the real attack intention".
This is different from how ice reflects light.
The ice surface presents a complex environment for signal propagation.
Every signal today is real.
It's just that the opponent deliberately creates both true and false meanings.
Lu Qing's Third Soul Ring lit up.
The stage in front of Dong Jian suddenly swayed slightly.
It's not that the scenery has changed.
It's a difference in the sense of time.
He clearly saw Lu Qing raise his hand.
Prepare to sidestep.
The next moment.
His shoulder was grazed by a burst of Soul Power.
Pain is felt before sight.
Dong Jian suddenly retreated.
"Too slow?"
Yu Feng frowned as he watched from the sidelines.
Li Man said, "It's not about speed."
Lu Qing's attack was not fast.
Dong Jian saw the scene a beat too late.
Or rather...
His judgment was forced to be a beat too late.
A second wave of Mental Interference hit.
Dong Jian simply stopped looking at her eyes.
breathe.
Soles of the feet.
ground.
Only these three are needed.
Lu Qing landed with his left foot.
Dong Jian moved to the right.
Another kick.
Follow up.
Three times in a row.
They weren't fooled by the fake image.
However, the cost of doing so is also obvious.
He could only know which way the other person was going.
I don't know when to raise my hand.
I don't know when the mirror will activate.
They had no idea from which visual point the mental shock would strike.
The Force Observation is activated.
Dong Jian is monitoring real-world trends.
Shoulder movement.
The arm moves.
The flow of Soul Power has changed.
I can see it.
The next moment.
A fleeting, frosty pattern appeared on the mirror surface.
The same arm appears twice in my field of vision.
Good morning.
One evening.
Force Observation couldn't decide for him which time was real.
"Valid information conflict."
The first notification popped up for the Divine Dragon Secret Realm.
"Psychological information cannot be verified."
There is no solution.
Dong Jian bit the tip of his tongue.
The pain brought me to consciousness for a fleeting moment.
He seized the opportunity and charged forward.
Avoid complex judgments.
Only press down according to Mountain Domain's most recent actual footsteps.
Five steps away.
Three steps.
For the first time, Lu Qing was forced to retreat noticeably.
Dong Jian struck out with a palm.
Lu Qing did not take the hit head-on.
A mirror lay between the two.
The Third Soul Skill was activated again.
Dong Jian clearly felt his palm touch the mirror surface.
But I saw that I was still half a foot away.
The body instinctively paused incorrectly.
That's all.
Lu Qing broke free from the side.
Dong Jian's palm strike missed.
Immediately afterwards, I felt a numbness in my back.
A mental shock mixed with a slight amount of Soul Power struck him.
No serious injuries.
However, it briefly distorted his sense of direction.
Dong Jian's feet immediately sank.
I'm not leaving.
First, reposition yourself based on the ground.
The edge line is directly in front.
Lu Qing's footsteps can be seen seven steps to the left.
The right side is empty.
He opened his eyes again.
The edge of the field of vision is on the right.
Dong Jian didn't believe his eyes.
Move to the left based on the position of your feet.
step.
The ground is real.
Step two.
Lu Qing suddenly stomped down.
A strong left-side feedback appeared within the Mountain Domain.
Dong Jian believed that the other party would enter from there.
Turn your body to the right to prepare to change positions.
At the very same instant.
The Mental Interference slowed his sense of balance by a tiny fraction of a second.
My feet were clearly already near the edge of the line.
The brain, however, still identifies that location as inside the playing area.
The third step is to land.
For a moment, there was no air beneath my feet.
Dong Jian immediately realized his mistake.
But the body had already left.
He forcefully tightened his waist.
His left foot hooked back onto the edge of the platform.
It barely managed not to fall completely.
Lu Qing did not miss the opportunity either.
A surge of Soul Power struck him squarely in the chest.
Bang!
Dong Jian stepped back.
This time it really went out of bounds.
The referee raised his hand.
Lu Qing!
The stadium fell silent for a moment.
Then discussion broke out.
Many people didn't expect this.
How could Dong Jian always plays the fourth ring, lose like this?
It wasn't knocked down head-on.
There was no depletion of Soul Power.
It's just that Mental Interference gradually distorts one's judgment.
Dong Jian stood outside the sideline.
First, make sure you are not injured.
Then he looked up at Lu Qing.
"Sharp."
Lu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Ground Perception is more complicated than the data suggests."
"We still lost."
"I almost let you stick it on too."
The two did not continue with the pleasantries.
Dong Jian returned to the Imperial Fighting Team Zone.
Yu Feng, unusually, didn't speak first.
Li Man handed over the water.
Which part is the most troublesome?
"All."
"That serious?"
Dong Jian took a sip.
"This situation isn't without improvement."
There's absolutely nothing for me to turn around.
Qin Ming heard it.
He nodded.
This statement is more important than making excuses.
Circular Force Redirection is used to unload physical impacts.
The Yin-Yang Mountain Domain observes ground-level propagation.
Force Observation to see the actual movement trend.
Today, the other party is targeting the judgment itself.
Even the most familiar tools.
Putting it in the wrong place won't help either.
After the match, some quickly categorized it as a case of "mental superiority over Dong Jian."
Qin Ming did not ask the academy to correct it.
While this assessment is crude, it at least doesn't exaggerate the claim that the Circular Rotation motion can transfer all Soul Power.
After watching the video, the Grandmaster only added one sentence next to the notes:
"The boundaries of physical warfare tactics are clearly defined."
Tang San then added:
"This should not be interpreted as energy transfer."
Dong Jian had no objections after hearing about it.
Even in a lost game, you should leave behind useful information.
After watching the video, Yu Tianheng only asked him one question.
"If we touch it again, will you be able to drive the Mountain Domain?"
Dong Jian thought for a moment.
"Meeting."
"Knowing it's not enough?"
"At least the footsteps are real."
"That Force Observation?"
"It depends."
Yu Tianheng nodded.
He did not advise Dong Jian to simply shut down all these methods.
The existence of weaknesses does not mean that existing tools are useless.
What really needs to be changed is the misconception that "providing partial information" is equivalent to "providing answers."
Li Man did not design a special mental formation for him.
She was not present during the individual rounds.
Even if team battles can help him in the future, Dong Jian's own weaknesses will still remain.
Let's memorize this first.
In the end, Qin Ming only wrote "lost one game" in the record.
No additional notes.
A loss is a loss; there's no need to add another explanation just because of Dong Jian's black ring.
night.
A recap of the Divine Dragon Secret Realm.
"New samples of Mental Interference."
"Yin-Yang Mountain Domain: Provides real-world ground events."
"Unable to verify the significance of the event."
"Force Observation: Records real-world body movements."
"The sensory time lag cannot be eliminated."
There is currently no stable solution.
Dong Jian kept the last sentence to himself.
The system was not allowed to continue generating hypotheses.
In reality.
Li Man sat by the window organizing the match records.
See him open his eyes.
What do you most want to practice after losing?
Dong Jian said, "Guess?"
"Mental resistance."
"No."
Li Man looked up.
What is that?
"Practice what I already know first."
"If you don't know how, you can find a way later."
Li Man looked at him for a while.
"This time there's really no rush."
"Keep a clear head after you lose."
"Should we lose a few more games?"
Dong Jian looked at her.
"That won't be necessary."
Li Man's lips curled up slightly.
Dong Jian has broken his previous record.
The point where the fourth segment Momentum Shift and collapsed.
It's more sophisticated than the Mental Interference we see today.
It's more worthwhile to deal with it now.
He won't be deterred by losing to the mentalist class.
Tomorrow I'll conjure up a whole set of mysterious magic techniques out of thin air.
The road in front of us.
Take it one step at a time.
He kept that page of failure records.
