Section 2735 Cognitive Impairment

Gray Merchant was like a spinning top at high speed. After landing, he smashed a big hole on the arena, which shows how terrifying his current power is.

When there is a hole on the arena, it is obvious that the wise master will compensate and remind him.

However, Gray Merchant no longer cares about these rules. If he is restrained by these rules in a real battle, how can he enjoy it? How can he be worthy of the opponent who fights with him?

Gray Merchant ignored the noise in his ears. The "top" rose again, carrying the huge dragon power, leaving a long mark on the arena, and rushed straight towards Angel.

It must be said that as long as the gem earth dragon does not show its head, the other parts are beautiful and gorgeous.

Now, although Gray Merchant has turned into a spinning top, it rolls out a rainbow-like dust belt, which is formed by the ground gem powder, and it is shining under the faint light.

What the onlookers saw was a dreamlike color, but for Angel, such a colorful rainbow tide represented a terrifying crisis.

Angel's eyebrows were slightly swollen. Facing the impending crisis, his entire scalp was numb. This was actually a kind of inspiration warning, which meant that the next attack, with his current strength, would definitely not be able to resist.

Even Ermi kept warning Angel at this time.

Although the danger had not really come to his head, Angel now understood why the blood side could dominate the same level. This terrifying sense of oppression, this trembling feeling that was difficult to avoid, and the sense of horror that there was nowhere to hide, could clearly and intuitively see the difference.

The blood side wizard was a real fighting machine, or... a fighting monster!

Angel was basically certain from the crisis premonition feedback on his body that the Gray Merchant was now serious, probably because of some "real battle", so he began to go all out.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Angel naturally could not do nothing.

However, his actions puzzled the onlookers.

Because he just stretched out his hand and suddenly clenched it. The blue lights above his head gradually changed from swaying to stillness.

The whole series of actions seemed to be just the ending performance of a pantomime. No one sensed any energy in it, and no abnormality could be detected from the energy perspective.

Everyone did not understand the meaning of Angel's actions at all, until... they saw the Gray Merchant.

The Gray Merchant was still in the form of a spinning top, rushing straight towards Angel with a momentum of riding a horse. Originally, this might be an inevitable head-on collision, but strangely, the Gray Merchant suddenly deviated from an angle when it was spinning towards Angel.

Originally, the Gray Merchant's forward trajectory would definitely hit Angel. However, somehow, there was an obvious deviation in the Gray Merchant's forward trajectory. The trajectory route caused by this deviation directly skipped Angel.

At first, everyone thought that the Gray Merchant had predicted Angel's prediction and rushed directly towards the route that Angel might avoid.

But the result proved that Angel really did not move at all, while Gray Merchant passed Angel at a slight angle and rolled all the way out of the arena.

This slight angle just happened to intersect with Angel, and even the stream of light spreading around Gray Merchant brushed past Angel.

Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly realized that Angel must have done something.

But no one knew what he did specifically. Even the wise master in the air did not see any movement from Angel.

It can even be said that Gray Merchant himself did not know what he was doing.

From Gray Merchant's perspective, he was clearly rushing towards his opponent. With the size of the opponent's gem giant, how could Gray Merchant lose the target he locked on.

Gray Merchant locked on to Angel from beginning to end, but he did not touch Angel.

When Gray Merchant saw that the dark void outside the arena was in front of him, he tried his best to stop the huge inertia.

A long broken track on the ground stretched to the edge of the arena, and there was a hole at the edge that was even bigger than the hole that the Gray Merchant had created when he landed.

It was enough to show how much effort the Gray Merchant had put in to avoid rushing out of the void.

After finally stopping, the Gray Merchant immediately heard the black-robed referee's warning of a fine. The Gray Merchant raised his head slightly: "I will repair and compensate the venue after the battle."

Although the Gray Merchant did not say it clearly, the meaning was very clear. He hoped that the referee would not nag during the game.

How could the Wise Lord not understand what the Gray Merchant meant? He smiled lightly and said in a meaningful tone: "Okay."

After speaking, the Wise Lord suddenly pointed at the arena.

The Gray Merchant immediately felt a sense of silence in his ears. The howling of monsters outside, the whispered discussions on the sidelines, and all the interfering sounds were blocked by the Wise Lord.

After doing all this, the wise master said again: "As you wish, there will be no external noise to disturb you. I hope you can do what you say after the end."

The wise master's words were still full of deep meaning.

The gray merchant only thought that a powerful existence like the black robe referee liked to speak in a similar unfathomable tone, so he didn't care about the referee's tone.

On the contrary, he nodded slightly in gratitude to the referee.

Without the noisy sounds from the outside world, he could indeed calm down more and have a duel between men.

However, what the gray merchant didn't realize was that everyone on the sidelines looked at him in surprise.

The pink-haired girl opened her throat and shouted at the Gray Merchant, but... it happened that the Wise Lord blocked the sound outside the field, so the Gray Merchant, who was focused on fighting with Angel, didn't look outside the field at all.

The Gray Merchant looked at the gem giant opposite and took a deep breath: "Your Excellency has a noble character, I respect you. Next, I will not make mistakes again."

The reason why the Gray Merchant said that his opponent had a noble character was because when he failed before, the opponent could have chased him, but the opponent did not do so.

According to the logic of normal people, they would probably feel that the opponent was despising themselves. However, the Gray Merchant determined from the beginning that his opponent was a "qualified" opponent and wanted a "real fight". Then, according to this logic, if the opponent did not chase him, it would not be contempt, but a style and a noble character.

Let's not talk about whether the Gray Merchant's imagination is correct or not.

But the expressions of the people watching this scene from the outside world became more and more weird.

The Gray Merchant could not hear their voices, but they could hear the voices inside. From this point of view, the Wise Lord is still quite humane.

However, compared with these small details, the members of the Youshang Organization still felt very angry and helpless about the referee's deliberate setting up of the sound barrier at the critical moment.

Because... the gray merchant had a problem.

Moreover, the problem of the gray merchant was a problem that was clear to the bystanders but completely unknown to the authorities. If it is not pointed out, the gray merchant may continue to be trapped in the mystery.

It is difficult for outsiders to tell what the specific problem is, but they clearly see that the gray merchant's actions are weird.

For example, after the gray merchant stopped, he spoke to the black-robed referee.

The gray merchant subconsciously looked up at the upper left sky, and even felt that the black-robed referee was in the upper left sky, but the referee was clearly in the upper right sky.

The gray merchant looked at the air and talked to himself in the air!

It was precisely because she found that the gray merchant might have been tricked that Fen Mo shouted "Wrong, wrong! Wrong direction!", hoping that the gray merchant could quickly find his problem.

However, the referee happened to raise the sound barrier at this time.

How could this not make them angry? Although they knew that the referee was likely in league with the other party, this blatant bias really chilled them and made them feel helpless.

They hoped that Gray Merchant could find the abnormality as soon as possible, but they were still too naive.

Gray Merchant said a lot of "noble character" to his opponent, but he was not facing the mysterious wizard who called himself Ermi, but just a piece of air.

Ermi was clearly standing on the other side of Gray Merchant!

"What should I do? Lord Gray Merchant still didn't find anything wrong." Fen Mo jumped up and down anxiously, wishing to rush into the arena.

"There's no use in being anxious." A slightly tired voice came from behind, but it was the shepherd who didn't know when he woke up: "It's normal that the Lord didn't find it now. When his second attack was still missing, he should have noticed it."

"You only know how to make sarcastic remarks. The Ditto on the opposite side is so cunning, whether the Lord will hit the second attack is a mystery." Fen Mo snorted.

The shepherd was stunned for a moment: "Ditto?"

"That guy named Ermi, who feels like a shadow type for a while and then becomes an earth type for a while. Isn't this Ditto?" Fen Mo said seriously.

Shepherd: "No matter who the opponent of Lord Gray Merchant is, he must be a senior to you. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable?"

Fen Mo didn't know how to refute for a moment, and curled her lips: "Anyway, I can't hear it now."

The shepherd pointed to the opposite side: "People inside can't hear it, but people outside can hear it. Didn't you notice that there was an apprentice on the opposite side staring at you for a long time?"

Fen Mo looked at it in confusion, only to see a wizard apprentice standing very close to Red Sword Dox on the opposite side, staring at her with hatred.

Perhaps because of guilty conscience, Fen Mo took a look and immediately retracted her gaze.

Shepherd: "Let's not talk about anything else. Aren't you curious about the methods of this Lord Ermi?"

Fen Mo: "What's there to be curious about?"

The shepherd didn't speak this time, but the magic elephant spoke: "Before, in the corridor of the carrion squirrel, Lord Gray Merchant clearly sensed the existence of the illusion node. We have always guessed that there must be an illusion wizard on the other side. However, he has not shown up so far."

After a pause, the magic elephant said to Fen Mo: "Don't you think that the methods used by Lord Ermi now are very similar to illusions?"

The magic elephant just stated a fact, but the shepherd waited until the magic elephant finished speaking and shot Fen Mo with another shot: "Don't forget that you are also an illusion wizard. If the other party is really an illusion wizard, as a fellow wizard, are you so insensitive?"

Fen Mo opened her mouth and suddenly didn't know what to say.

She could only look at the evil woman, hoping to learn from her that the other party was not an illusion wizard.

However, the evil woman said calmly: "I have never felt the fluctuation of the illusion node before, and I don't know if it is an illusion. But, this method does seem to be from the illusion department."

The evil woman also felt that it was an illusion, which made Fen Mo a little embarrassed. As an apprentice of the illusion department, she didn't feel anything at all. Instead, people from other departments came to remind her...

Shepherd: "You are from the illusion department. What do you think, if Lord Ermi is an illusion wizard, what type of illusion does he use?"

Although the shepherd asked a normal question, Fen Mo always felt that she was being humiliated... Most importantly, she couldn't get angry.

After a moment of silence, Fen Mo said: "If it is really an illusion, it may be a misleading of the senses."

After Fen Mo finished speaking, the evil woman shook her head: "From the external performance, it does seem to be a misleading of the senses, but affecting the senses is not a very advanced illusion. Hui Shang should be able to detect it, but he still hasn't noticed it now, so it should not be a sensory misleading."

The so-called sensory misleading is actually a manipulation of the five senses, which is the basis of the illusion system.

For example, when you first learn the illusion system, you use illusions to deceive the opponent's eyes, that is, vision. Then it may be hearing, smell, touch... These are all misleading of the senses.

In the eyes of the evil woman, if it is really a sensory misleading, it can only be based on visual guidance. But visual guidance is the most basic illusion, how could Hui Shang not see through it?

Although the bloodline of the gem earth dragon is more resistant to physical and weaker to mental resistance. However, this does not mean that Hui Shang's mental resistance is weak.

You know, the previous stage of the gem earth dragon is a crystal earth lizard.

Crystal lizards have very weak elemental resistance and average physical resistance, but very strong mental resistance.

As a blood wizard, Hui Shang undoubtedly inherited the strengths of crystal lizards when optimizing his bloodline, and his mental resistance is definitely not bad.

It is impossible to be fooled by low-level illusions.

The view of the evil woman is actually the view of most people present, including the wise master.

However, the facts are far from their thoughts, and it is Powder Mo's guess that is actually the closest to the truth.

The illusion used by Angel is really an illusion that affects the senses.

It's just that this illusion affects not only the senses, but also the extension from the "senses" and deeper: cognition.

Simply affecting the senses, sometimes even apprentices may not be deceived. However, if even cognition is deceived, it is difficult to wake up by yourself.

And the so-called deceiving cognition is actually all "self-rationalization", that is, it must be self-consistent in your own cognition.

To give an inappropriate example, people with red-green color blindness find it difficult to find out that their perception of color is biased. Red-green color blindness is a cognitive bias caused by the disease, so it is different from Angel's deception of cognition with illusions, but in terms of cognitive impairment, there are actually similarities.

All self-beliefs form a logically self-consistent closed loop in the brain, which is the so-called cognitive impairment.

…

When Angel let Ermi fight against Huishang, he was not just "hanging up". In addition to looking for abnormal emotions, he was also thinking about this duel and when it would be most appropriate for him to make a move.

The final conclusion was that it was best to make a move at close range, so that with Ermi covering outside, he could do some small moves secretly.

So, when Ermi's fist was simulated, penetrated Huishang's gem shield, and hit Huishang's chest directly, Angel took action.

The illusion that had been prepared long ago, through the energy waves of the fists colliding, was directly attached to Huishang.

In fact, it is most appropriate to penetrate Huishang's body and directly affect it from the inside. However, Angel never underestimated the flesh of the blood wizard, so in order to avoid being discovered, it was best to attach it externally.

Moreover, Ermi's elemental simulation successfully simulated the energy properties of the gray merchant's exterior, and also covered up Angel's remaining illusion.

This illusion did not show any signs of intensification at the time. And there was also the power of the gem as a cover, so the gray merchant did not notice it for a while.

And Angel did not think about how to use this illusion at that time, just as a first move. Wait until the right time to activate it.

But Angel did not expect that this opportunity would come so quickly.
