The indoor training ground was brightly lit. Due to the need for confidentiality in some training content and to prevent energy leakage that could cause unnecessary damage, there were no windows in the indoor training facility.
However, the faint sounds coming from inside caught the attention of passing bronze masked warriors.
Not far from the indoor training ground, in another training area, several warriors who had just finished their evening training were sitting on the ground, dismantling training equipment while chatting casually.
"That area is pretty intense." Logistics officer Wu Qian twisted his sore neck and joked with a smile.
"It's not as intense as what you just did. You, a logistics officer, train so diligently. Your strength should rank in the top ten in the entire Bronze Camp by now, right?" another warrior, who had just sparred with Wu Qian, said while rubbing his abdomen in annoyance.
"Haha, Wu Qian's idol is Pao Bai; wanting to join the Bai Yin battle team must be driving him crazy. What’s wrong with him working hard? But you, Zhu Kang, if you don’t improve soon, your deputy commander position is going to be in jeopardy. Over there…”
The speaker pointed towards the Assault Camp and continued, “Shiyong, who is just a little stronger than you, has already given up his position to join the Assault Camp! Be careful; the new arrival may issue a notice to have anyone weaker than Shiyong report to the Bronze Camp."
"Zhi Chaka, come on, you’re a thousand-person commander. Can you speak a little more seriously?" Zhu Kang, the one addressed, looked helplessly at his superior, unsure of what to say.
Among all the thousand-person commanders, Zhi Chaka was the most easygoing, able to get along well with his subordinates. From a popularity standpoint, he was the best candidate for deputy commander.
“Um, Jie Kui…”
Wu Qian's movements slowed down, clearly deep in thought.
His words captured the attention of the others, and the scene from earlier flashed in their minds.
They could sense that Jie Kui's strength was not very high; perhaps he stood out among newcomers, but in the Bronze Camp, it was still insufficient.
However, the moment he revealed himself in the open training ground, without any cover or concealment, had left a tremendous impact on the mid-level warriors who were only a few steps away from him.
If he used this ability to launch a surprise attack, few could likely evade it.
"What do you think that was?" Wu Qian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhi Chaka and asked. No matter how approachable the leader of the second thousand-person team was, his strength was the highest among those present.
“I think…” Zhi Chaka paused, organizing his thoughts, “Honestly, I can’t really understand what that ability is. It seems like our Star-Eye Clan doesn’t have any skills that can produce such an effect. If we had to say one existed…”
Zhi Chaka looked at Wu Qian, and they both saw the answer in each other's eyes, realizing it was implausible.
“You two need to clarify things a bit.” The others were unhappy; it felt like the two were playing a guessing game.
“Actually, we have speculations, but we think it’s unlikely because, in the history of our Star-Eye Clan, there has only been one ability that could produce such an effect, but that ability has been lost for many, many years.”
Wu Qian shook his head, continually denying himself.
Zhi Chaka continued, “The layering technique is the only ability that can produce this effect, but it has been lost since the war of catastrophe.”
Everyone fell silent.
The war of catastrophe was a past nobody wanted to mention; it was a permanent scar for the Star-Eye Clan.
“Layering technique allows the body to produce rapid vibrations continuously. Once a certain marvelous frequency is reached, it can create a visual disappearance effect. If this person is proficient in closing off their breathing, scent, energy fluctuations, etc., then they can achieve invisibility. Of course, those with a significant strength difference or those with keen senses can still easily detect them.”
