Gray Merchant's body moved like a spinning top. When he landed on the ground, he created a giant crater on the stage, which showed how terrifying his strength was.
Obviously, the Wise Ruler would remind Gray Merchant to pay for the crater.
However, the current grey merchant no longer cared about these rules. If they were restrained because of these rules in a real battle, how could they enjoy themselves to the fullest? How could he be worthy of the opponent who had gone all out against him?
Hui Merchant ignored the noise around his ears and used his "spinning top" again. His dragon aura left a long trail on the stage as he dashed toward Angor.
As long as Gray Merchant did not show his head, the rest of the gem dragon's body was beautiful.
Gray Merchant was now a spinning top, but he left a trail of rainbow-like dust behind him. The dust was formed by the ground gemstone powder, which shone brightly under the dim light.
What the onlookers saw was dreamy colors. But to Angor, such colorful rainbows represented a terrible danger.
The space between his eyebrows began to swell. He felt his scalp tingling in the face of the imminent danger. It was also a warning from his intuition, which meant that he would not be able to withstand the next attack with his current strength.
Even Elmi was trying to warn Angor about something.
The real danger had not arrived yet, but Angor now understood why Bloodline Wizards could dominate other wizards of the same level. Gray Merchant's terrifying pressure, unavoidable trembling, and unavoidable fear … Angor could clearly see the difference between them.
Bloodline Adepts were true war machines, or perhaps … battle monsters!
Based on his sense of danger, Angor was sure that Gray Merchant was going all out. Probably because of the "real battle", he was going all out.
Of course, Angor could not just stand there and do nothing.
However, what he did confused the onlookers.
He reached out his hand and clenched it. The flickering blue lantern above his head slowly became still.
The whole series of actions looked like the ending of a pantomime show. No one sensed any energy from it, nor did they see anything unusual with their energy vision.
They did not understand Angor's intention until they saw Gray Merchant.
Gray Merchant was still in his spinning top form and was charging at Angor at full speed. It was supposed to be a head-on clash. But strangely, Gray Merchant suddenly changed his direction while moving toward Angor.
Gray Merchant's path was supposed to lead them to Angor's. But for some reason, Gray Merchant's path deviated from Angor's path. The deviation caused Gray Merchant's path to skip Angor.
At first, people thought Gray Merchant predicted Angor's movement and went straight for Angor's possible escape route.
However, Angor did not move at all. Gray Merchant, on the other hand, moved past Angor at a slight angle and rolled out of the arena.
Gray Merchant's path just so happened to pass Angor. Even the light around Gray Merchant's body brushed past Angor.
Everyone finally realized that Angor must have done something.
However, no one knew exactly what he had done. Even the Wise Overseer didn't notice anything amiss.
It could even be said that Hui Shang himself did not know what he was doing.
From Gray Merchant's point of view, he was running toward his opponent. With the size of the gemstone giant, there was no way the grey merchant would lose his target.
Gray Merchant kept his eyes on Angor the whole time, but he did not touch Angor at all.
When Hui Shang saw that the pitch-black void outside the arena was right in front of him, he used all his strength to stop the huge inertia.
A long, broken track on the ground extended to the edge of the arena. There was also a huge hole at the edge of the track that was bigger than the one created by Gray Merchant's landing.
It was obvious that Gray Merchant had to use a lot of strength to prevent himself from going out of the space.
When the match finally came to a stop, Hui Shang immediately heard the black-robed referee warning him of a fine. Hui Shang raised his head slightly and said, "I will repair the arena and compensate you after the match."
Gray Merchant did not say it explicitly, but it was clear that he hoped the judge would stop nagging him during the match.
How could the Wise Sovereign not understand Gray Shang's intentions? He smiled and said in a meaningful tone, "Alright."
After saying this, the Wise Sovereign suddenly pointed at the arena.
Hui Shang immediately felt a sense of tranquility in his ears. The howls of the magical creatures outside, the whispers of the audience, and all other noises had been blocked out by the Sovereign of Wisdom.
After doing all of this, the Sovereign of Wisdom spoke once more. "As you wish, no sound from the outside world will disturb you. I hope you'll keep your word after the match. "
The Wise Ruler's words were still full of meaning.
Hui Shang thought that a powerful existence like the black-robed referee liked to speak in an unfathomable tone, so he did not pay much attention to the referee's tone.
Instead, he nodded to the judge gratefully.
Without the noise of the outside world, he was indeed able to calm down and carry out a duel between men.
However, Gray Merchant did not notice that everyone was looking at him in surprise.
The pink-haired girl was shouting at Gray Merchant as much as she could. However, the Wise Ruler blocked out all the noise outside, so Gray Merchant, who was focused on his duel, did not look outside.
Gray Merchant looked at the gemstone giant in front of him and took a deep breath. "You are a noble man. I respect you. I won't make any more mistakes from now on. "
Gray Merchant said that because his opponent could have chased after him when he made a mistake. However, the man did not do so.
A normal person would think that his opponent was looking down on him. However, Hui Shang had already determined that his opponent was a "qualified" opponent from the very beginning. What he wanted was a "real battle". Then, according to this logic, the fact that his opponent did not pursue him was not a sign of contempt. Instead, it was a kind of demeanor and a noble character.
Whether Gray Merchant's assumption was correct or not was not certain.
However, the spectators outside the arena all had strange expressions on their faces.
The gray merchants could not hear their voices, but they could hear the voices inside. From this, it could be seen that the Wise Ruler was quite humane.
However, compared to these minor details, the Traveling Merchants were still angry and helpless about the fact that the judge put up a sound barrier at such a crucial moment.
Gray Merchant had a problem.
Besides, Gray Merchant's problem was something that the spectators could see clearly. Gray Merchant was completely unaware of it. If they did not point it out, Gray Merchant would keep thinking about it.
It was hard for outsiders to tell what the problem was. However, they could clearly see that Gray Merchant's actions were strange.
For example, Gray Merchant stopped and spoke to the black-robed judge.
Gray Merchant subconsciously looked up at the left side of the arena. He even thought that the black-robed judge was in the left side of the arena. However, the judge was clearly in the right side of the arena.
Gray Merchant was looking at the air and talking to himself!
It was also because Fen Mo realized that Gray Merchant might have been tricked that she shouted, "Wrong, wrong! Wrong direction! " She hoped that Gray Merchant would quickly realize his problem.
However, the judge put up a sound barrier at that moment.
How could they not be angry? Although they knew that the judge was most likely in cahoots with Gray Merchant, such blatant favoritism made them feel bitterly disappointed and helpless.
They hoped that Gray Merchant would realize the abnormality as soon as possible, but they were too naive.
Gray Merchant said a bunch of "noble character" to his opponent, but he was not facing the mysterious wizard who called himself Elmi. It was just air.
Elmi was clearly standing on the other side of Gray Merchant!
"What should we do? Lord Gray Merchant still hasn't realized that something is wrong." Fen Mo anxiously jumped up and down, wishing that she could rush into the arena.
"There's no point in being anxious." A slightly tired voice came from behind. It was the Shepherd who had woken up at some point: "It's normal that Lord hasn't realized it yet. When his second attack missed, he should have realized it."
"You only know how to make sarcastic remarks. That Multiform Freak is so cunning. It's a mystery whether or not Lord will make a second attack. "Fen Mo snorted.
The Shepherd was stunned: "Multiform Freak?"
"It's that guy called Elmi. One moment, he seems to be of the shadow element, the next moment, he's of the earth element. Isn't that Multiform Freak?" Fen Mo said with a serious expression.
Shepherd: "No matter who Lord Gray Merchant's opponent is, it must be your senior. Aren't you afraid that he will hold a grudge against you?"
Fen Mo did not know how to refute. She curled her lips: "He can't hear it now anyway."
The Shepherd pointed at the other side: "The people inside can't hear it, but the people outside can. Didn't you notice that an acolyte on the other side has been glaring at you for a long time? "
Fen Mo looked over in confusion. She saw an acolyte standing very close to Red Sword Dorcas, glaring at her with a hateful expression.
Perhaps because she felt guilty, Fen Mo took a glance and immediately looked away.
Shepherd: "Let's not talk about anything else. Aren't you curious about Lord Elmi's methods at all?"
Fen Mo: "What's there to be curious about?"
This time, the Shepherd did not speak. Instead, it was the Golem that spoke: "Previously, in the corridor with the scavenger squirrels, Lord Gray Merchant clearly sensed the existence of illusion nodes. We've always guessed that there must be an illusionary Magus on the other side. However, he hasn't shown himself yet. "
After a pause, the Golem said to Fen Mo: "Don't you think that this Lord Elmi's methods are very similar to illusions?"
The Golem was only stating a fact, but the Shepherd waited for the Golem to finish speaking before shooting at Fen Mo: "Don't forget, you're also an illusionary Magus. If the opponent really is an illusionary Magus, as someone of the same element, how can you be so insensitive? "
Fen Mo opened her mouth and suddenly did not know what to say.
She could only look at the evil woman, hoping to find out from the evil woman that the opponent was not an illusionary Magus.
However, the evil woman said indifferently: "Previously, I didn't feel any fluctuations from the illusion nodes. I don't know if it's an illusionary Magus. However, this method does seem to be from the illusionary Magus. "
The evil woman also felt that it was an illusionary Magus, which made Fen Mo feel a little awkward. As an illusionary Magus apprentice, she actually did not feel anything at all. Instead, it was people from other elements who reminded her …
Shepherd: "You're an illusionary Magus. What type of illusion do you think Lord Elmi used if he's an illusionary Magus?"
Although the Shepherd was asking a normal question, Fen Mo still felt like she was being humiliated … Most importantly, she could not get angry.
After a moment of silence, Fen Mo said: "If it's really an illusion, it might be a misdirection of the senses."
After Fen Mo finished speaking, the evil woman shook her head: "From the outside, it does seem like a misdirection of the senses. However, affecting the senses is not a high-level illusion. Hui Shang should be able to sense it, but he still hasn't. It shouldn't be a misdirection of the senses. "
The so-called misdirection of the senses was actually a type of manipulation of the five senses. This was the foundation of the illusionary Magus.
For example, the first illusionary Magus would use illusions to deceive the opponent's eyes, which was their vision. After that, it could be their hearing, smell, touch … These were all misdirection of the senses.
In the evil woman's opinion, if it really was a misdirection of the senses, it could only be a visual guidance. However, visual guidance was the most basic of illusions. How could Hui Shang not see through it?
Although the gemstone dragon bloodline had high resistance to physical attacks, its resistance to spiritual attacks was weaker. However, this did not mean that Hui Shang's spiritual resistance was weak.
After all, the previous stage of the gemstone dragon bloodline was the crystal lizard.
The crystal lizard's elemental resistance was extremely weak, and its physical resistance was average. However, its spiritual resistance was extremely strong.
As a Bloodline Magus, Hui Shang had undoubtedly inherited the strength of the crystal lizard when he was optimizing his bloodline. His spiritual resistance was definitely not weak.
It was impossible for him to be misled by a low-level illusion.
Evil Woman's opinion was shared by most of the people in the room, including the Wise Overseer.
However, the truth was completely different from what they thought. Fen Mo's guess was actually the closest to the truth.
Angor's illusion was really one that affected one's senses.
However, it did not only affect one's senses. It also extended from one's "senses" and went even deeper: one's cognition.
Sometimes, even apprentices would not be fooled if their senses were only affected by the illusion. However, if the illusion also affected one's cognition, it would be very difficult to wake up on one's own.
The so-called misdirection of cognition was to "rationalize" all one's "beliefs". In other words, the illusion must be self-consistent in one's own cognition.
For example, someone who suffered from red-green color blindness would find it difficult to realize that their perception of colors was wrong. Red-green color blindness was a cognitive deviation caused by the disease, so it was different from Angor's illusion. However, there was something in common in terms of cognitive impairment.
Turning all one's beliefs into a logical closed loop in one's brain was called cognitive impairment.
…
When Angor asked Elmi to fight Gray Merchant, he was not only "AFK". Apart from looking for abnormal emotions, he was also thinking about the best time to make his move.
In the end, he decided that it would be best to attack at close range so that Elmi could cover for him while he did some sneaky tricks.
Therefore, when Elmi's fist penetrated Gray Merchant's gemstone shield and landed on his chest, Angor made his move.
Through the energy ripples created by the collision, Angor attached his illusion onto Gray Merchant's body.
In fact, it was best to directly affect Gray Merchant's body from the inside. However, Angor never underestimated the physical strength of a Bloodline Wizard. To avoid being discovered, he chose to attach his illusion onto Gray Merchant's body.
Elmi's elemental simulation successfully simulated the energy properties of Gray Merchant's body, which also covered up Angor's remaining illusion.
The illusion did not show any signs of being activated at all. Also, Gray Merchant did not notice it at first because of the gemstone shield.
Angor did not plan to use the illusion at all. He only planned to use it as a preemptive strike. He would wait until the right time to activate it.
However, he did not expect the opportunity to come so soon.
