"When I went on an adventure with Wai once, I noticed a typical trait of his when it comes to setting up a plan. If he thinks about something, he'll assume that his opponent will think about it as well. Therefore, he will include the prerequisite that 'the opponent will consider my layout' into his own layout. "
Dorcas paused for a moment. "It sounds weird, but it's not hard to understand. Just look at his behavior.
"When he was hiding in the Stone Prison, he drank three potions in a row. Among them, the Glowing Velvet Potion is used for healing, so it's within the scope of consideration. As for the Kalisa Antidote, it's also considered normal. The Shadow Element specializes in sneak attacks, and in order to maximize their attacks, they'll often add poison to their attacks. Thus, there's no objection to using the Kalisa Antidote as a preventive measure.
"But the Water of Pheromone is interesting. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that the first two bottles of potions were based on evidence, but the Pheromone Water was' out of the blue '. "
When Dorcas said the word 'out of thin air', he deliberately emphasized it.
Indeed, Dorcas thought that Wai was just preparing for a rainy day. But now that Dorcas pointed it out, he realized that the Water of Pheromone was actually different from the other two potions. The Water of Pheromone was more like Wai's imagination. Wai might use his pheromone to track him down, so he prepared ahead of time. The Glowing Velvet Potion and Carissa Antidote, on the other hand, were both targeted.
"Since when did Wa Yi start to think about this for no reason? It's when he wants to do it himself that he'll consider the possibility that his opponent might do the same. "Dorcas shook his head." It's been years, and he never changed his habit. I always said that he was overthinking things, and that he might be found out by others. It's a bad habit. But now I see that I'm right. Ghost Shadow doesn't have the ability to track people using his pheromone … "
"That may be the case, but only Lord Red Sword would be able to see through such small details."
Dorcas humphed. "Of course. If there's anyone who knows Wai best, it's me. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Dorcas seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the Dark Earl beside him and added, "Of course, his family isn't included."
Dorcas looked at Angor proudly. "What do you think? I'm telling the truth, right?"
Looking at Dorcas' smug expression, Angor held back his urge to complain. He nodded to show that he agreed with Dorcas' explanation.
Just as Dorcas said, Angor also believed that Wai used his sense of smell to locate Phantom's location and turned the tables around.
However, Dorcas was still able to analyze some of Wa Yi's actions to determine when he had this idea. Angor did not expect this at all.
Through his Beyonder Perception, he could tell that Dorcas's words went from vague to clear. Also, Dorcas was hesitant at first, which meant he wasn't sure how Wai would win. The reason why he could be so accurate was probably because of his inspiration.
However, Dorcas was right, and he was right. There was no point in arguing with him at this time.
It could only be said that Dorcas's talent for inspiration was very strong. Also, Dorcas was indeed Wa Yi's best friend. He knew Wa Yi very well.
Wa Yi and Phantom both came down from the stage.
Phantom was carried off the stage by the demon elephant. The wound on his abdomen had been treated, so he wouldn't die. However, he still needed some time to recover.
On the other hand, Wa Yi walked down on his own. As he walked down, he drank a new bottle of potion. Perhaps Wai was too focused on his opponent during the battle to notice how uncomfortable the larvae were. But as soon as the battle ended, Wai felt itchy all over his body.
He felt like there were countless tiny tadpoles running around in his blood vessels.
Also, Wai learned from Phantom that he couldn't get rid of the larvae right away. However, Phantom had already returned to his mother's body, so the larvae would die on their own after a while. There was no need to worry about them. If he couldn't stand it, he could use physical methods to pull them out of his body one by one.
But he couldn't do that right now. Left with no other choice, Wai had to keep drinking potions to numb the discomfort.
When Wai returned to the stage, he was still activating his bloodline and petrifying his skin to prevent the larvae from expanding.
"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself in front of you …" The first thing Wa Yi said when he returned was an apologetic self-reflection.
"We used to laugh at you a lot," Dorcas added.
Wa Yi glared at him and didn't bother to reply.
"Don't blame yourself. You did a good job." Angor nodded.
Wai scratched his head. "I just think I could've done better."
"Indeed. If it were you in the past, you would definitely have started formulating a plan to deal with this kind of acolyte as soon as you got on the stage. You wouldn't have waited until the end and even used yourself as bait." Without a doubt, these words came from Dorcas.
This time, Wai didn't even bother to look at Dorcas.
Wai didn't bother to look at Dorcas, but Dorcas' words had hit him right in the heart.
Wai never thought that he was so different from Dorcas. He didn't become a wizard because of the obstacles in reality.
But after this duel, Wai realized that the gap between him and Dorcas was getting bigger and bigger. Even though Dorcas also got hit, Wai couldn't compare to him in terms of battle experience and awareness. Wai couldn't even figure out what Dorcas did during the fight.
It must be known that when Wa Yi and Dorcas had gone on adventures together, Wa Yi was very clear on every detail of Dorcas's battle. He could even predict Dorcas's battle style through the subtle changes in his expression, movements, and eyes.
In the past, Wa Yi had looked down on Dorcas when it came to the big picture.
But now, there seemed to be an insurmountable chasm between Vay and Dorcas.
During the period when Wa Yi was abandoned, Dorcas had been improving, but he had been walking on the same spot, and had even regressed further and further.
Wai felt a little depressed at this thought.
"Time to get rid of your boredom." A message was sent directly into Wai's mind. The only one who could do this without anyone noticing was his lord … the Black Earl.
"When I gave you a few decades, I thought you would be able to figure it out yourself. But I didn't expect you to be like those mediocre people, fearful of advancing because of some groundless information. What a joke. " The Dark Earl's tone was sarcastic, "If you don't want to be left behind by Dorcas, change quickly."
"Of course, if you feel that a peaceful life is very comfortable and you don't want to step out of this comfort zone, then pretend I didn't say anything."
At this point, the Dark Earl didn't send any more messages to Wai.
But Wai now understood why the Dark Earl wanted him to go, and even forbade Lord Chaowei from providing any support.
Perhaps, he wanted to use this opportunity to make him understand reality.
He kept calling him Dorcas and didn't even call him by his honorifics, thinking that they were equal. But in reality, Dorcas just didn't care.
The so-called equality was just a pretense. When the balance of power was already out of balance, it was hard to talk about equality. Unless, like what his master said, the balance of power was once again reached. Only then would the situation change.
But, did he have the right to step forward?
Was Lord Chaowei encouraging him to step forward? Or was Lord Chaowei trying to persuade him because he couldn't stand it anymore?
Wai suddenly felt a little lost.
"Hey, how long are you going to wear those white hairs on your head? Are you still going to wear those 'new clothes' for the duel? "Dorcas' voice echoed in Wai's ears.
Wai shivered and snapped out of his daze. He looked up and saw Dorcas standing behind him, tearing the mycelial larvae apart with his bare hands.
"I didn't do it willingly. I can't get rid of those things now. Besides, can I still fight in this condition? " Wai looked at Karel and spoke with an apologetic tone, "I'll leave the duel to you."
Karel was still receiving "tactical guidance" from Angor. When he heard Wai's words, he quickly stood up and spoke with a serious look, "Leave it to me!"
Wai looked at Karel's spirited look and smiled happily.
"Why are you so happy, Lark?" Dorcas patted Wa Yi's shoulder, "Just these sparse white hairs are affecting your battle?"
Wai glanced at Dorcas coldly. "I'm fine because I've been drinking potions. If you can reimburse me for the cost of these potions, I'll keep fighting. "
Wai paused and continued, "However many bottles I drink, you'll reimburse me. How about that?"
Dorcas immediately shut up at the mention of magic crystals.
Still, Dorcas tried to see if he could help Wai get rid of the mycelial larvae. It was possible, but as Phantom said, he had to use physical methods to remove the living mycelial larvae one by one.
After all, this was Wai's body. Dorcas couldn't reach deep into Wai's blood vessels and bones to remove the mycelial larvae.
Dorcas had to give up.
However, even though he had given up, it did not mean that he would stop talking and continue to talk non-stop.
"You don't have to use potions. Isn't there a Grandmaster Mushroom here? Go ask him, maybe he can help."
"Grandmaster Mushroom?" Wai didn't know what to say.
It wasn't until Dorcas pointed at him that Wai realized Dorcas was referring to Mister Hyperdimension.
"Since when did I get this nickname?" Angor looked at Dorcas with a puzzled look.
Before becoming a "Hyperdimension Wizard", Angor heard a lot of nicknames, including "Music Box Sorcerer", "Illusion Manipulator", "Lionheart Bramble", and even "Baron Milk". But he never heard of Grandmaster Mushroom.
Shouldn't Regina be the one to call him that?
Dorcas showed a proud look. "I just invented it. Not bad, right?"
Everyone was speechless.
Before Angor could say anything, Wai spoke up for him.
Wai crossed his arms in front of his chest and spoke to Dorcas, "I also invented a new title for you. Potion Provider. Not bad, right? Come on, give me the potions, and I'll join you in the next duel. "
"I'm not joking."
"I'm not joking either," Wai said. Or, if you don't like the name, you can change it to something else. Potion Master? Potion Maker? Potion Provider? Pick one. "
Seeing Wa Yi's stance, Dorcas knew that if they continued to argue, Wa Yi would definitely side with the new idol.
Since he couldn't reason with Wai, Dorcas looked at Angor and said, "Grandmaster Mushroom is joking, but I'm not joking. Don't forget, last time at Princess' Town — "
Angor cleared his throat and interrupted Dorcas.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Don't spread rumors." Angor looked at Wai. "But I can check your condition. I didn't mention it before because it might affect your privacy. So — "
Wai immediately changed his attitude and showed a grateful look. "It's fine. Do as you please, sir."
Angor walked to Wai and glanced at the Black Earl. Seeing that the Earl didn't stop him, Angor reached out to touch the larvae.
Strangely enough, Wai gasped in surprise as soon as Angor touched the larvae. "They're not moving?!"
Yes, Wa Yi felt that the itchy mycelium larvae in his body had completely stopped, as if time had stopped.
This made Wa Yi feel as if … a dragon's roar had suddenly appeared in a forest full of life. In an instant, the insects and birds stopped chirping, and the little beasts quietly hid in their caves.
It was as if their natural enemy had arrived.
Dorcas quickly spoke up. "I was right, wasn't I? I didn't call myself Grandmaster Mushroom for no reason."
Not to mention Dorcas, even Vale felt that this title was quite suitable for Sir Super Dimensional.
One had to know that when his master had transmitted his voice to him earlier, he had also used energy to check the inside of his body. Back then, the larvae didn't react at all even when Black Earl's energy entered their bodies. They were like mindless sandworms.
Larvae didn't have any intelligence, nor did they have complicated emotions.
They didn't show any fear when Dorcas tore them apart.
But Mister Super Dimensional's touch seemed to have triggered their instinctive fear!
They didn't dare to move at all!
If this wasn't Grandmaster Mushroom, then what was?
Or maybe he was the natural enemy of all fungi!
