Everything he just said was all rules summed up by using clumsy methods.
No matter who it is, as long as they observe these eye worms up close with their eyes, by any means, they will be affected!
Don't be fooled by how easily Cai Xu stated the conclusion—it was just a sentence.
But each result was tested by warriors at the cost of their lives.
This is war—life is something that must inevitably be sacrificed.
Shen Yu wore a solemn expression, carefully listening to all the intelligence.
At last, after considering a moment, he said thoughtfully, "So right now, the only way is to cover the eyes and use remote command to eliminate or capture them?"
"Yes, for now, we can only use this clumsy method. The flying speed of the eye worms isn't slow, and they're very agile. Without someone as bait, small drones simply can't catch them. What's more, it's very strange—they don't even have wings. It seems a peculiar 'energy field' supports their flight." Cai Xu and the others' research in this period could truly be said to have upended all previously learned knowledge.
The old understanding is completely inapplicable.
The only thing usable is a scientific way of thinking.
Summarize, verify, experiment, seek patterns and explanations.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Yu slowly said, "This might be related to the power of the Mysterious Testing Domain—or, you could say, to Extraordinary Power."
"What?" Cai Xu and the people behind him all froze for a second.
Though these creatures were indeed miraculous, they hadn't thought to consider theology yet.
So hearing Shen Yu put it like this, they were all baffled.
"A type of power that can, to a certain extent, defy the rules of physics—maybe it's related to the mind, or maybe to other things we can't explain for now. In short, if we only look for principles and rules within the material world alone, it's hard to make sense of it. We have to understand the radically different operating logic at play here." Shen Yu paused, then added, "This is something I saw in the Multi-Dimensional Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association. And, in fact, I've truly mastered some supernatural powers originating from other worlds."
Not just the Martial Arts in Martial Artist Shen Yu's world.
Even just this Gray Mist Space is already miraculous enough.
The "All-Powerful" characteristics of the Gray Mist—to this very day, Shen Yu still found them hard to believe.
Maybe extraordinary is nothing but a technology not yet understood, but under the current circumstances, we can only use the mentality of the Extraordinary Domain to comprehend and apply it.
"Advisor Shen, did you just say supernatural power originating from other worlds?" Huang Jingrong accurately seized the key point in Shen Yu's words.
He did know that Shen Yu possessed some extraordinary powers.
This was an ability each "Gray Mist Walker" came equipped with.
It's believed to be formed by the "will of Doomsday Civilization."
Exclusively for members.
But just now, he mentioned power from other worlds—Extraordinary Power!
So could it be... that's something that could possibly be learned and mastered?
"That's right." Shen Yu nodded, thinking for a second before deciding to share some information. "After meeting that Association member you saw before, I've been making active contact with another new member, trying to form an alliance. And the member's world is a Martial Arts World—a superhuman Martial Arts World where one sword can break a city, cleave a mountain, and sever a river!"
"——!"
Many present couldn't help but gape in shock.
Some even felt like they were dreaming.
The existence of the Multi-Dimensional Apocalypse Civilization Mutual Aid Association, and visitors from otherworldly interstellar civilizations—this information alone had delivered a massive shock to these people.
Now there's also a Martial Arts World?
And one sword can shatter a city?
How could a human's flesh and blood possibly withstand such immense power?
This is still the real world?
But perhaps because they'd been through so much shock lately, Cai Xu managed to react quickly, and his mind and eyes burned with fervor.
For a biologist, something that completely overturns biological understanding only makes him more obsessed.
"Advisor Shen, could you explain this in more detail?" Cai Xu eagerly pressed.
Beside him, Huang Jingrong also regarded Shen Yu with fervent eyes.
"Then I'll give you a simple demonstration." Shen Yu nodded. Giving a demo wouldn't take much.
He glanced around, his eyes settling on a wooden office desk nearby, and walked slowly over.
"Martial Arts in that world are mainly divided into three aspects. The first is physical reinforcement."
Shen Yu pinched the corner of the desk with his fingers. Everyone could see clearly as his fingers, like a hydraulic press, slowly pressed down, making the wooden corner creak and groan until, astonishingly, under that one finger, it was crushed, deformed, and shattered!
"The second is energy manipulation, which is something like the Inner Strength in martial arts novels."
Shen Yu spread his palm open and pressed down.
Bang!
A huge noise rang out. The entire solid wood desk was slammed down by an invisible force and exploded with a boom, yet all the fragments were bound tightly together by formless ripples!
All of it was pressed flat beneath a massive palm imprint!
Everyone around stared wide-eyed and gaping at this moment.
This scene, happening right in front of their eyes, was far too real—no movie special effects could compare!
The raw sense of reality alone was enough to make people feel just how powerful this force was.
"And third, Spiritual Domain—which I'd rather render as 'Primordial Spirit Domain'." Shen Yu casually glanced at a researcher and said quietly, "Get down."
The next instant, without the slightest hesitation and even with abrupt force, that researcher dropped straight to the floor.
"These three things—this is Martial Arts Extraordinary!" Shen Yu withdrew the spiritual intimidation.
The dazed look in that researcher's eyes quickly faded, and he sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
"How did it feel?" Cai Xu grabbed him, unable to wait another second.
"It was like, like… hearing a leader's order? Or feeling some kind of irresistible command. Before I could even react, I acted on instinct." The researcher recalled the sensation, with a trace of fear in his eyes.
The feeling of even your own inner thoughts being out of control truly brings a primal fear.
But Cai Xu got truly excited.
"Right, exactly! That's the feeling of someone influenced by the eye worms—no reason, actions you can't control!" He suddenly looked at Shen Yu. "Advisor Shen, can you let me experience it once?"
Maybe only Cai Xu himself could understand just how agonizing this period had been.
Warriors were fighting desperately on the front lines to stop the spread of the eye worms—lives lost every day. But at the rear, with prisoners captured at the cost of their lives, they had produced no effective results.
This pain was simply indescribable.
But now, everything was different!
Especially this kind of unbelievable power.
It was like a beam of light in the darkness, suddenly pointing the way!
