Hugh's own domain of understanding is the realm of deception; the more his enemies trust his words, the more things he can manipulate.
Of course, sometimes the enemy won't believe what you say, and that's when you need to use language to guide them.
For example, he often used a coin toss. When asking the enemy whether it was heads or tails, the enemy would believe that the coin would land and land on one of the two sides.
Using this as a starting point, when the initial attempt to lure an attack fails to hit you, use the strength from before to complete the performance and gain more trust.
By repeating this process, he could gain the ability to control everything within the domain in a short period of time.
This was also the tactic he used when dealing with the Flower Cultists.
The most important thing during this period is the use of textual traps to make the enemy unknowingly provide trust.
For Hugh, who has been living in the gray area since childhood, talking is what he does best.
With a few magic tricks, he can maximize the effect in this field!
However, there are always some viewers who are just contrarians reincarnated.
He said he would flip a coin and it would stand still; he claimed a person could disappear into thin air and he was a twin; he said he was a shill when he drew a lucky audience member to perform a magic trick.
I just don't believe in magicians' performances.
This is when Hugh needs to use his superpowers.
He named it a magic prop!
As an excellent magician, Hugh naturally has many magic props to assist in his performances.
The cloak in this case was used to deceive a death row inmate into completely trusting him, and then transfer his spatial abilities to this simple cloak, turning him into a magic prop!
Reaching to the side, Hugh pulled a small box from under his cloak.
"Little friend, can you guess what's in here? Is it candy, or a pigeon?"
Looking at the box, which is no bigger than half a palm, how could there be pigeons inside? It must be candy!
Unwittingly, Uesugi Sakura's acceptance of the existence of something in the box has reignited the deception world.
There's nothing inside.
The system decided to personally assist Uesugi Sakura, and urged her to hurry up and help!
Qin Sheng is basically unreliable. Even if it can't find someone to interfere with the outcome of the battle between Qinglong and Elder Ren, it still has to check on Qinglong's situation!
Don't be confused, where did the trust you just gained disappear?
Isn't this kid's fickleness a bit outrageous?
Boom boom boom…
The barrage of attacks forced Xiu to flee in a somewhat disheveled state.
The magic props were damaged, okay? He tried not to use them unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Kid, you can't kill me, give up!"
Without saying a word, he used a magic item to emerge unscathed from the barrage of attacks, convincing Uesugi Sakura.
However, this trust quickly vanished after the system prompted them.
Something's not right!
Once or twice is fine, but these last two or three times, I suddenly stopped believing my own words, and even wordplay stopped working. This is clearly not something a child could understand.
There must be a wicked person guiding them behind the scenes!
"Is the person you're talking to Qin Sheng?"
Under the relentless onslaught of attacks, Hugh hurriedly asked a question.
These systems are all unable to speak; does that mean they're admitting it's not Qin Sheng?
By sheer chance, Xiu gained Qin Sheng's trust, since Uesugi Sakura definitely believed that the person she was communicating with was a human being!
The system might be able to refute this at this point, but the result of that rebuttal would be that Uesugi Sakura would no longer believe him.
"really."
Hugh took a breath; he was a magician, not an acrobat, and his stamina wasn't great.
"I'm telling you, Great Master Qin, I'm just a nobody. I admit it's wrong of me to lie to children, but you don't have to get involved yourself, do you?"
Hugh's words were still manipulative, making Qin Sheng believe that he was a nobody, or that he was lying to a child.
But in the end, not a single bit of trust was gained.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of Sect Leader Qin, he saw through my domain so quickly."
Hugh gained trust, but not from the system, but from Uesugi Sakura!
And there are quite a lot!
She truly believed that Qin Sheng had already seen through Xiu's domain!
Squinting, although the voice in Uesugi Sakura's mind would expose his verbal manipulation, the gradual erosion also brought a new source of trust.
As long as Qin Sheng is relied upon, Uesugi Sakura will trust him unconditionally.
The slashing attack reappeared, and the system instructed Uesugi Sakura not to give Xiu a chance to catch his breath, and to keep bombarding Xiu's position.
"The Master is indeed clever; he immediately knew how to restrain my domain."
The slashes were constantly redirected, and just as they were starting to run out of energy, Xiu spoke up, using Uesugi Sakura's trust in Qin Sheng to maintain the Deception Domain.
Then continue the slashing attacks along the shifting route.
"Master Qin must be a big shot, with strength comparable to a demigod. I feel very honored that he cares about me so much."
Uesugi Sakura believed that Qin Sheng was a great man, and that his strength was comparable to, or even surpassed, that of a demigod.
Hugh once again seized the trust and began to exploit it relentlessly.
A snap of the fingers.
With enough trust, Xiu began to reverse the attack, directing the slash towards Uesugi Sakura.
However, the slash originated from her, and she could control it at will. Even if her position was changed, the slash would not land on Uesugi Sakura.
There's nothing more I can do.
In the field of fraud, how powerful someone is depends entirely on the intelligence and strength of their opponent.
If someone is easily deceived, then all of the other party's attack methods are useless.
Conversely, if the opponent's attack methods are not very strong, Hugh can only control the opponent's attack methods.
They couldn't come up with a stronger attack method on their own.
Even he was somewhat helpless when faced with Uesugi Sakura, who could control her slashes with ease.
The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.
Xiu couldn't do anything to Uesugi Sakura, and Uesugi Sakura couldn't do anything to Xiu either.
After glancing at it a few times, the system silently left, unable to entice her to help Qinglong!
Click...
The sound of the chains breaking was particularly crisp, and the three-legged bronze cauldron showed signs of having been overturned.
"It took longer than I expected; I was still two minutes too late to break free."
Qin Sheng was somewhat surprised, and Tai explained, "Because the human race is united, it has made the Three-Legged Bronze Cauldron stronger, but this is already its limit."
Tai watched as the chains shattered in less than half a second, and even when they were re-wrapped, they couldn't keep up with Qin Sheng's speed of breaking free.
"Let them know."
Tai nodded, naturally understanding that Qin Sheng was referring to the Ye siblings, and immediately closed his eyes to make contact through the power of destiny.
Bang bang bang…
As Qin Sheng stood up, the chains snapped completely, exploding into specks of golden light.
The three-legged bronze cauldron behind it dimmed at this moment, and its divine aura gradually dissipated, as if it had become an ordinary cauldron.
Lightning crackled, and Qin Sheng, the moment he was freed, was about to rush into the sky.
Although this was not what he wanted.
Boom!
A thunderclap suddenly appeared from nowhere, a flash of red lightning, and Qin Sheng, who should have returned to the sky, twisted and rushed back.
Tai turned his gaze to the Ye siblings, who had appeared out of nowhere.
