Arcane Lord

Thinking like this, Sha Duo speeded up again, almost following Iolum, and this time he also saw the entire process of Iolum's action.

Very quickly, almost instantly, a flash of light flashed, and the three twisted phantoms that were still fighting each other turned into three multi-faceted crystal beads and fell down, and were caught by Iolum who happened to arrive just in time.

"Let's go to the next area!"

After completing the kill, Iolum did not stop. He called out to Shado, then fell back to an altitude of about a thousand meters, and then continued flying in the direction he had been traveling in before.

Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't fall too far behind. After catching up, he began to ask Iolum for advice on how to determine the number of targets telepathically.

As for how to kill the twisted phantom efficiently, you don't need to pay too much attention to it. It's just a matter of proficiency with spells such as [Will Disintegration] and [Mind Negation].

Xia Duo didn't have much experience hunting such strange creatures before, and if nothing unexpected happens in the future, he probably won't have many opportunities to do it himself, but the analysis technology based on telepathy is still worth learning.

Telepathy can currently only target those powerful but unconcealed minds. In the future, it may be able to iterate to the level of sensing and analyzing ordinary creatures. This is much easier to use than detection spells.

Telepathy is only passive perception and does not arouse the target's alertness; while detection spells often need to project a specific perception field first, which can easily arouse the target's alertness.

Especially for a spell caster like Xia Duo who has reached the end of the magic network, it is almost impossible for any detection spell to detect it quietly.

Telepathy might be a killer move!

…

Regarding Sha Duo's inquiry, Iolum did not hide any secrets. While searching for the twisted phantom, he explained to Sha Duo:

"All the foundations of telepathy lie in the mind. Master Nese has always done very little research in this field. I can only talk about some of the parts I know.

"You just asked how to determine the number of targets. Can I understand that you already know how to determine whether there are targets?"

"Yes, I just compared the different perception results during the movement and imagined a virtual target. The closer I get to the target, the clearer the imaginary target becomes."

Xia Duo briefly and clearly introduced the differential locking method that he had just discovered, but this method could only simply lock the target and could not determine the nature of the target.

He believed that there must be better locking and even analysis methods in Iolum, but the fact may not be what he imagined.

"You actually used this method?"

After listening to Shado's description, Iolum suddenly stopped and turned to look at his nominal student, with surprise written all over his face.

Sha Duo felt a little uncomfortable with Iolum's strange gaze, and quickly asked: "Teacher, is there anything wrong with this method?"

"There is nothing wrong with the method itself, the problem is with the user!" Iolum said with certainty.

"ah?"

Xia Duo felt even more uncomfortable now and asked tentatively: "What's the problem with the user?"

"Remember what I just said? The foundation of all telepathy lies in the mind. The stronger the mind, the richer the content it perceives."

At this point, Iolum suddenly sighed and asked Shado: "Do you know how I or ordinary people determine the target?"

"How are you sure?"

"You must first sense the target at close range, and then you can barely get a vague sense."

"Then there is actually no special method for determining multiple goals, it's just the teacher's experience?" A trace of disappointment inevitably appeared in Xia Duo's eyes.

"It's okay if you say that. It does rely more on experience, but there are also some special skills."

When Iolum said this, Xia Duo felt that he had some hope again and asked quickly: "What technique is it?"

"The techniques are similar to the differential locking you just mentioned, as well as disturbance peeling, feature manifestation, timing overlap, etc., but because my perception is too vague, I have never actually used most of these techniques, so I I can only tell you how to do it, but I can’t give you guidance. You need to explore on your own.”

"No problem, what I'm best at is studying!"

Seeing that Iolum did not turn the topic back to mental anomalies, Xia Duo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He himself guessed that his soul might be different from ordinary people after many bloodline awakenings.

Of course, it could also be that his soul was inherently more powerful than Netheril.

Netheril's psychic spells are supported by the soul, and are not based on the pure mind like psychic magic.

The mind and consciousness in Nese magic terms are generally related to the soul, or simply another way of referring to the soul.

…

On the next road, Shado and Iolum exchanged telepathy skills while searching for the twisted phantom.

The reason why it is called "communication" is because Sha Duo discovered that the skills provided by Iolum and the data analysis he often came into contact with when he was a programmer before time travel were basically the same thing, but the application scenarios were different.

The so-called "disturbance stripping" and "feature manifestation", if replaced with hometown terminology, wouldn't it be "data dimensionality reduction"? The so-called "time series superposition" is actually a weighted calculation in time.

This type of data analysis concept has already been used by Shado when analyzing the sub-dimensional data collected by the Tower of Time plane exploration array.

At that time, each set of raw detection data was a community composed of more than 1,200 simplified arcane geometric symbols, with clear boundaries between them.

Such a data can be called a "1200-dimensional data set" on earth. The plane exploration array uses these more than 1200 dimensions to describe the space-time state detected by the sensing field in the etheric layer.

There is information related to the plane hidden in it. Of course, this data must not only contain information related to the plane, but also more information, which may reflect part of the essence of this world.

Later, when Xia Duo was studying the demiplane, he specifically analyzed the data of the yellow sand demiplane, and even used plane transformation to quantitatively analyze the changes in the data.

This will lead to a clearer connection between the plane and the space-time state of the etheric layer, and then further derive a more accurate and practical model of the apparent characteristics of the plane, thus improving the efficiency of discovering new planes!

The discovery of new planes, in the current situation, is to determine the number and even nature of specific targets in telepathy.

However, at the beginning, Xia Duo felt that telepathy was weak and relied entirely on feelings. He did not think of analyzing the data at all, and there was no exact data for him to analyze.

After Iolum's reminder, he realized that he had fallen into a blind spot in his thinking. In fact, this kind of telepathy result analysis was more similar to graphic analysis than specific data analysis.

However, the principles and algorithms of data analysis can be transferred.
