Chapter 631 Five Eyes
It's not because Cangwu is the strongest—in terms of direct combat alone, Tiegu might be more resilient than Cangwu—but because Cangwu's decisions have never been wrong.
Not even once.
Therefore, Tiegu submits to no one but Cangwu.
……
"Hey, are you guys done chatting?"
The fifth person spoke.
The sound was soft, with a lazy quality, like yawning in the afternoon sun.
This person was standing at the very edge of the line, at least ten steps away from the other four people.
It wasn't that he was ostracized; it was that he chose to stand so far away.
Its name is Shadowblade.
One of the Five Eyes, the holder of the SSS-rank talent [Void Form].
Of the five, he was the most mysterious.
It wasn't because he was deliberately acting mysterious, but because he genuinely disliked interacting with people.
Shadowblade's third eye is different from the other four—his third eye is usually closed.
It only opens during battle.
No one knows what he saw when he opened his third eye, because everyone who saw it is dead.
The ability of [Void Form] is the most elusive among the five—he can switch between reality and illusion.
While in ethereal form, one is immune to all physical damage and most magical damage, but cannot attack.
When materialized, its attack power doubles, but its defense power is greatly reduced.
The key to this ability lies in the timing of the switch.
Shadowblade is the player in this game who is best at seizing opportunities.
"Shadowblade, aren't you going to say something?" Ironbone shouted at him.
"No objections." Shadowblade's voice still carried a lazy tone. "Fight if you can, run if you can't."
"Run? You can run faster than anyone else, I believe you." Iron Bone laughed.
Shadowblade did not respond.
His gaze swept across the distant mist, then he closed his eyes.
It's not about sleeping.
It's about feeling.
Feel the atmosphere of this misty continent, feel the flow of magic in the air, feel everything that could become a factor in the battle.
This is his habit.
Before entering any new map, "experience" it first.
……
Cangwu withdrew his gaze and looked at the three-eyed player behind him.
He glanced around the crowd and spotted a few other important figures.
These people are not SSS-rank, but they are the core members of their respective guilds or factions.
"Emptiness," Cangwu called out a name.
A person stepped out from the crowd.
He was of medium build and wore a dark gray robe, which was completely undecorated and as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
Its name is Emptiness.
The holder of the SS-rank talent [Domain of Annihilation], level 53.
He is the strongest mage among the Three-Eyed Clan besides the Five-Eyed Clan, and also the vice president of the "Tianyan Society," the guild Cangwu belongs to.
His talent allows him to create a "death" space within a designated area, where all elemental energy is suppressed to a minimum, preventing mages from casting spells and halving the power of warriors' skills.
Simply put, it's a mobile magic-suppressing field.
"President Cangwu." Kongji walked up to Cangwu and nodded slightly.
"The format for the third round hasn't been released yet, but whatever the format, you'll be leading the mage team."
"Understood," Kongji said. "My Annihilation Domain works best in chaotic battles. I'll lead the mage team to the midfield to suppress the opponent's skill casting."
Cangwu nodded, then looked at another person.
"Tong Yao."
On the other side of the crowd, a person wearing golden armor stepped out.
His name is Tongyao.
The holder of the SS-rank talent [Eye of Insight], level 54.
His talent is highly compatible with the racial talent of the Three-Eyed Clan—he can see through all invisibility, disguise, illusion, and stealth effects with his third eye.
There are no secrets before his third eye.
He is the head of all reconnaissance units of the Three-Eyed Clan.
"Tongyao, you're in charge of the enemy assassins and stealth units. No matter what method you use, don't let them get to our backline."
Tong Yao's third eye glowed slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
"Chairman Sogo, nothing can hide from my third eye."
"Don't be too confident," Cang Wu said. "Your third eye might not be able to see through the SSS-rank player on the other side."
Tong Yao's smile froze for a moment, then vanished.
"Yes."
Cangwu then looked at the third person.
"Thunder Seal".
A tall, slender man with hands covered in electrical burn scars walked out.
His name is Lei Yin.
The holder of the SS-grade talent [Heart of Thunder Punishment], level 53.
He is one of the highest damage-dealing players in the Three-Eyed Clan besides the Five-Eyed Clan, specializing in lightning magic and possessing extremely high burst damage.
His talent allows him to convert his own magic into lightning and release it outwards using his body as a conductor.
In team battles, Lei Yin is like a mobile thunderstorm center.
"Lei Yin, you stick with Tie Gu and attack the front line. After Tie Gu tanks the damage, you can start dealing damage."
"No problem." Lei Yin's voice carried a buzzing electrical noise, not a special effect, but his talent in full operation, with faint arcs of electricity always surrounding his vocal cords.
Cangwu has assigned tasks to everyone.
Then he turned around and looked back toward the Wailing Wall.
In that direction, there are players from another continent.
He has opponents with an average level of 36 who are insignificant in his eyes.
But his third eye was moving.
The star-shaped pupils rotated slowly, reflecting intricate geometric patterns.
Cangwu didn't say what he saw.
But he remained silent for a long time.
Zhixi walked to his side.
"Cangwu, what are you worried about?"
Cangwu did not answer.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"Weaving Evening".
"Um."
Do you think the system is stupid?
Zhi Xi raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"The system matches us between two continents for the third round, not so we can crush a bunch of opponents nine levels lower than us," Cang Wu said. "If it were just about crushing them, the system wouldn't need this 'Multiverse Domination' thing. They could just distribute rewards based on level rankings."
Zhi Xi's fingers flicked lightly in the air.
She was also thinking about it.
"You mean there's something on the other side that we don't know about?"
"I don't know," Cangwu said, "but my third eye is warning me."
Zhi Xi's fingers stopped.
Cangwu's third eye has never made a mistake.
If it's issuing a warning, it means there is indeed danger on the other side.
"What is it?" Zhi Xi asked.
"I can't see clearly." Cangwu's third eye shifted again, the geometric patterns in the pupil becoming even more complex. "It's like there's a fog obscuring my deductions. It's not a system blocking it, but... there's something on the other side that's beyond the scope of my talent."
