Chapter 1210 – Endless Battlefield – Part 5

Even as Jin continued to battle against the faceless soldiers, he could feel there was a difference. Not in terms of power, strength or technique against his enemies but rather, he could finally sense something was watching over him checking his movements and the way he moved about.

"Looks like the System's invasive stalking 2.0 is working as intended. Oh well, if it does increase my repertoire of techniques, I guess I can hardly say no to it." Jin said to himself as he mindlessly and yet mindfully defeats the enemies that were in his path. But even as he thinks about the System, he was not able to contact it regardless of the method, leaving him to believe that the System was right about monitoring the brain signals while Jin was cultivating and nothing more.

Right now, the faceless soldiers in the field were a mix of both weak and strong soldiers which allowed Jin to pace himself. Because of the inverse eyes, he was able to take note of those soldiers' chi portrayal. He finally was able to discern whether a soldier was going to throw out a basic technique or an advanced technique based on the chi aura surrounding the soldier. This allowed him to take out the weaker ones quickly while keeping the stronger soldiers at bay as he continued to observe the fight.

However, at the same time, he felt that this endeavour of learning by watching became a little of a chore. This was mainly because some of the faceless soldiers that emerged were the ones he had seen the technique before. Initially, Jin thought that he was about to reach the end of the 'endless' supply that Suzaku had encountered before but he was dead wrong.

In the mix of those soldiers, there were a few soldiers that started to portray their techniques which he had never seen before so he deduced that Suzaku purposely dilute the pool of soldiers in her endless battlefield to keep him occupied.

"Is this some gacha where I have to find soldiers whose techniques I have yet to collect?" Jin said to himself as he gritted his teeth to kill another by transforming Bam and Boo into a great axe, smashing the ground and causing a few rocks to splinter out of the ground. Still, he continued to fight them in case they had more to offer but it was getting tedious….until he realised he might have been able to use his Maqi.

After giving himself sufficient space by executing the soldiers within the great axe's vicinity, he tried to exude out his Maqi aura to create astral clones of himself. Not only was he successful, but Jin was also able to share his Inverse Eyes powers with the clones as well. It was at that point which he felt like beating himself up.

"Argh! I forgot that I could use my Maqi to the fullest extent! I keep thinking I was not able to use it since I had been restricted ever since my inception in this dream." Jin said to himself and as the clones began to clash with the soldiers. On the other hand, Suzaku had a small curl at the side of her lips as if she already knew that Jin was capable of doing such a feat but did not reveal anything to him.

"Well, now this changes everything." Jin said to himself as he went ahead to slam the Great Axe towards a shield user to bring him down. With the clones by his side, Jin realised he was finally able to learn five times as much and clear the endless battlefield with ease. While clear was not the exact word since it was indeed endless, it meant he could remove the trash and fight against the faceless soldiers which he never faced before, absorbing as much information as he could.

The only drawback was that the Inverse Eye functions did not exactly work for the clones. Even as Jin was able to transmit the ability to share his transverse eyes' ability to his clones, it was his first time doing so. They were able to detect the soldiers he had fought before but collecting information was not one of the functions, forcing them to only delay the faceless soldiers until Jin was free to go against them. Regardless, the six against many was still a hectic fight as everyone rushed to consume the challengers with their techniques and overwhelming number.

But as hard as the challenge was, everything continued to proceed rather smoothly considering the fact that Jin was still alive while Suzaku quietly sat at the bench to watch him suffer. "Keep it up, other Jins! We are making good progress. Let's live through the challenge!" Jin said and the rest of the clones quietly nodded their heads simultaneously.

"Such thinking would be detrimental to you if you believed you would be making out alive." Suzaku whispered as she placed her elbow on her knees and used her palm as support for her head as she observed the fight. With a sigh emanating out at the end of her sentence, a brand new faceless soldier emerged from the side of the battlefield with chi as black as the starless night sky.

Jin could suddenly feel the change in the chaotic atmosphere within the endless battlefield, believing that the newest faceless soldier could be the challenge he was looking for. But instead of finding him, he continued to concentrate against the current mob as if telling the newcomer to wait for his turn if he wishes to fight the challenger.

Unfortunately, things were not as easy as one might think as the newest faceless soldier's chi suddenly exploded and a shot of his energy went right through the entire crowd, even forcing Jin to move away to not get hit.

"That is not some advanced technique. That's literally an epic technique or above!" Jin said to himself as he stabilised with the Great Axe chopping another faceless soldier. It was then he realised the chi was kind of familiar and the more he got exposed to it, beads of sweat rolled through his neck.

"I cannot believe it. Even you…master?" Jin said to himself as the soldier's stance was undoubtedly recognisable. He was facing the one and only.

Zeru.
