"Insight Eye": Penetrates all illusions, perceiving all transformations.
[Note]: The results of the insight depend on one's own tier, the target, the input of Source Power, and the amount of knowledge.
Rubbing his slightly sore eyes, Tang Yu exited from the Spirit Space.
Complicated information about "Insight Eye" flooded his mind like a tide; Source Power within him, involuntarily, gathered at his eyes, circulating through specific pathways.
Exclusive to Lords of the apocalypse, the reward was similar to a skill inheritance.
Information surged directly into his mind and assisted in the first circulation, promptly initiating the learner.
Tang Yu felt changes in his eyes, his vision improved. Staring at the fading Mysterious Runes on the walls of the small room, he seemingly gained some understanding.
This was merely a small part of the capabilities of the "Insight Eye."
Insight... Analyze the target and draw corresponding conclusions—this was the essence of the "Insight Eye" skill.
Feeling the Source Power continuously depleting, Tang Yu scanned his surroundings, pondering which target to analyze first with the "Insight Eye."
...However, the small room was empty, and the surrounding runes had already vanished.
After a thought, Tang Yu lowered his head and looked at himself.
In an instant, the depletion rate of the Source Power increased tenfold before it began to slow down three seconds later.
[Target Name: Tang Yu]
[Aptitude: B+ (You are a genius)]
[Awakening Tier: 11th Layer 89% (You are a powerhouse among the weak)]
[Occupation: Flame Ice Thunder Three-series Demon Swordsman (Advanced occupation, rare inheritance, will receive a second-tier inheritance upon entering the Transcendent Tier, can cultivate up to the Third Stage of the Transcendent Tier)]
[Skills: Heavy Slash, Blood Slash, Sky Breaking Slash, Instant Step… (You have mastered over twenty combat skills/magic, yet none are perfected)]
[Physical Condition: Slightly overexcited (Combat Syndrome, it is recommended to drink several cups of Calming and Awakening Tea)]
A flow of information transformed into comprehensible data, reflected in his mind.
Tang Yu looked on silently.
"Insight Eye" was an excellent skill; the results of the check-up provided more detailed information than the brief he had seen on his follower before signing the contract—if some of the remarks in brackets could be omitted.
After today's cultivation, he would be able to estimate the time until his breakthrough from the cultivation progress; "Insight Eye" also analyzed the best cultivation timings and postures.
Including a series of current issues he faced.
"Perhaps because the target is himself, belonging to the 'known' category, the most detailed insight results can be obtained. If it were someone else, it might not be the same."
Tang Yu couldn't help but wonder, what if the Insight Eye target were followers like Eileen? Although he certainly couldn't analyze cultivation issues—at least during their training sessions—but perhaps, checking their vital statistics or something… cough cough, he wasn't that kind of person.
As if he had gotten a new toy, Tang Yu returned to the castle and used "Insight Eye" on other objects.
[Exquisite crystal chandelier: Features three brightness settings, available in white, red, and blue colors, Source Power connected, one setting is currently on, belongs to an Energy Manifestation Item.]
[Faintly scented wooden dining table: Made from unnamed timber, can withstand a full-strength strike from a Fifth Tier awakened without destruction, belongs to an Energy Manifestation Item.]
[Fully automatic home puppet (non-humanoid): Accompanying creation for castles of tier two or higher, proficient in cooking, laundry, and floor cleaning, belongs to an Energy Manifestation Item.]
Tang Yu reflected thoughtfully.
Insighting these household items didn't consume much Source Power; he was no longer the person he used to be—according to the data list, he was already a rare expert among Earthlings.
His Source Power was more than four or five times that of a ability user of the same tier; a mere consumption by "Insight Eye" was still affordable for him.
At that moment, footsteps echoed down the corridor ahead, and Tang Yu looked up.
Nancy's eyes were bleary, as if she were sleepwalking.
She walked on the carpet with bare feet, her loose bear-patterned pajamas sliding off to one side, revealing her pearly white shoulders, the black strap, and the faintly visible black lace bra...
It was unclear who had chosen Nancy's outfit.
When she saw Tang Yu, she paused, "Morning."
"Morning... no, wait, it's already the afternoon, how can you say 'morning'!"
Nancy tilted her head, trying to fully open her drooping eyelids, "Is that so?... Uh, then good afternoon, I want to eat cake."
"You should go change your clothes in your room first."
Although it was the Welfare Bureau and respect was starting to form, and although Nancy seemed not to mind—probably because she didn't understand, still...
As a Lord, he had a duty to correct his followers' worldview—there weren't many people on the Fifth Tier of the castle, but what if Nancy sleepwalked outside?
Nancy was still groggy, her reaction time a bit slow.
After several seconds, she finally responded, "(｀・ω・´) oh." Her body swayed as she walked back to her room.
During those few seconds, Tang Yu's eyes stayed on Nancy, scanning her from her forehead down to her toes, back and forth several times—don't get the wrong idea, he was attempting to use the "Insight Eye"—Nancy at the Transcendent Tier, requiring him more time to thoroughly scan.
The rate of Source Power loss was comparable to when he scanned himself; though rapid, he was not panicked.
Once the "Insight Eye" was activated, it became the normal state, enhancing his observational and analytical abilities, but once he began a thorough insight scan, the rate of Source Power loss accelerated... Tang Yu referred to this period as the scanning state.
Scanning himself took about three seconds, scanning furniture took less than a second, scanning Nancy took just over ten seconds, and in this state, he could persist for over a minute.
This was so powerful!
His eyes reflected a sparkle, like countless streams of data flowing past.
Nancy was now seen through by him, and information began to flood his mind.
In that moment, more than half of the Source Power remaining in his body cascaded instantly!
His body wobbled, his hand braced against the wall, barely steadying himself.
The entire person felt as though he were hollowed out!
[Aptitude: S (A monstrous existence. Compared to her, you are a curly-haired baboon)]
[Tier: Transcendent First Tier 3% (An existence you cannot contend with)]
[Occupation: Divine Ghost Swordsman (Advanced from Ghost Swordsman, companion occupation, boundless potential)]
[Skills: Ghost Slash, Demon Sword, Power of Calamity, Ghost God Transformation]
[Physical Condition: Sleepy haze, vital statistics ****** (Insufficient Source Power supply, insight interrupted)]
So why was I hollowed out?
Flip the table! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
And what the heck is written in those remarks! The one being observed was Nancy, what does it have to do with me!
The "Insight Eye" was too cheeky, Tang Yu couldn't tolerate it!
But then he thought, the data frame was information specifically transformed into— the easiest form for him to understand— the result shown.
It was the transformation of his subconscious, no one else to blame.
