I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

Chapter 24: Chapter 23: The Interplay of Sight, Hearing, and Smell—Transparent World!



```

[Subtitle: Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, Activate!]

.........................

Chen Yun awoke from his second deep sleep.

He lay still for a long time, feeling the many changes in his body.

Rather than immediately verifying the various changes,

Chen Yun wanted to first confirm a hypothesis.

That was whether the terrifying vision and hearing abilities he had acquired after his second change

could sync up with the Super Smell he already possessed?

No single human sense operates in isolation; their coordinated collaboration forms our current holistic understanding of the world.

Chen Yun's sense of smell alone could approximately map out the aroma traces within the size of a neighborhood from the past few days in his mind.

Now, although Chen Yun's hearing was not as extensive as his smell, he could still hear noises within a seventy to eighty-meter radius around him and could even determine the situation at the source of the sound based on its volume and pitch.

As for vision,

he could stand on the sixth-floor balcony and look down to see the specific content on the smartphones of pedestrians below, or gaze across several buildings to watch what TV program was being viewed in the opposite apartments.

When these three senses combined,

what would happen?

Chen Yun was quite looking forward to it.

Therefore, he immediately began to experiment.

After focusing his attention and mobilizing all three senses to operate at high efficiency,

the world... changed.

It was as if he had activated a game modifier named Wind Spirit Moon Shadow—the world changed!

The multitude of information collected by his vision, hearing, and smell integrated in his mind, offering Chen Yun a novel sensory experience.

They worked together, in coordinated harmony,

forming a perspective as if cheating in a game.

Standing on the balcony looking at the building opposite,

one would expect to see nothing but the wet walls washed by light rain.

But now,

his hearing told Chen Yun that someone on the other side of the wall was pacing back and forth on the stairwell while talking on the phone.

Their exact location betrayed by the sound they made.

His sense of smell told him that this was a male smoking a cigarette, with his sympathetic nervous system excited, causing bronchial smooth muscle contraction, resulting in a certain off-smell as the airways narrowed and airflow passed through.

This let Chen Yun discern that the man was in a state of anxiety and tension.

Thus,

with the combined operation of the three senses, Chen Yun's perception became like having activated Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

Through the curtain of rain,

through the walls,

his mind automatically marked a glowing silhouette on the opposite wall.

It looked no different from the perspective of cheaters in games who use wallhacks.

They all began to target people through walls.

Even to say,

Chen Yun's cheat was even more absurd.

Not only could he judge movements, locations, and numbers of people through walls by listening and smelling,

Through hearing?

The man on the phone in the opposite building was not only precisely located and monitored in every move by Chen Yun through the wall but he could also eavesdrop on the phone conversation in real time.

It was just like listening in real-time to the enemy team's voice chat during games.

Such an operation,

was far beyond mere perspective.

Aside from the man's appearance,

everything including his voice and body language were "seen" clearly by him.

And so,

Chen Yun, through the wall,

silently observed the man anxiously pacing in the stairwell, pleading with his boss over the phone not to fire him.

Finally, he watched the man take the elevator home in defeat.

Chen Yun felt a slight sense of poignancy for the myriad different fates of people in this world.

Then he shifted his gaze away,

now turning his focused attention to the entire opposite building.

In the next moment,

many figures, each engaged in their own activities, appeared before Chen Yun.

They were sitting or standing, doing their own things at home or in the corridors.

The myriad life patterns of humanity were laid out before him.

Despite the obstruction of the walls,

Chen Yun could "see" clearly these figures that were highlighted and illuminated in his mind.

With a slight focus, he could even deduce someone's itinerary for the day from their scent trail, gauge their current mood, and physical condition.

These figures,

were like the silhouettes of characters manipulated behind the screen in a shadow puppet play.

Although obstructed by the "screen," every gesture of these character silhouettes was still vividly revealed and seen by him.

Everything,

was so clear.

He was like a deity, silently, loftily observing these mortals.

This made him feel somewhat elated.

Of course,

Chen Yun, who always mentally prepared himself from the first day he began to change, quickly reined in the exalted thoughts.

He had an inkling that there would be an inevitable chasm between himself and ordinary humans in the future.

In his eyes, humanity might only amount to a noisy bunch of monkeys.

But regardless of what the future held, he would try to maintain his original character as much as possible.

He didn't want his value system to be altered or swayed by any confusion that might arise during the process of evolution.

There might inevitably be some changes,

but he would persevere.

Having set this tone shortly after his transformation, he now withdrew his self-proclaimed deity thoughts.

He continued to carefully savor this game-changing perspective.

Chen Yun felt that calling such a perspective "perspective" seemed too modest a term for this ability.

He thought it should have a more sophisticated name.

Wind Spirit Moon Shadow? Heavenly Eye?

Or perhaps omniscience?

But after a moment's contemplation,

Chen Yun dismissed these options that had flashed through his mind.

Wind Spirit Moon Shadow seemed too whimsical.

Heavenly Eye and omniscience felt like too grand labels for such an ability in its current state.

Watching the rain gradually cease in the world outside,

Chen Yun pondered in his mind.

Under the effect of this ability, the entire world had become unprecedentedly transparent.

Perhaps the name could be...

Transparent World!

This title

couldn't be more fitting.

He remembered a similar-named ability from a popular work.

Upon its activation, it would greatly enhance the user's predictive abilities for movements and the speed for dodging attacks. The user could clearly see the opponent's lung movements and blood flow and contractions, thereby discerning the opponent's movements and weaknesses clearly.

For him,

his Transparent World possessed all these functions.

A casual glance at the wet pedestrians on the street confirmed he could also determine any person's weaknesses in movement by observing features like lung movements and blood vessel constriction.

And with the aid of Super Hearing and Super Smell, he would only perform better in this regard.

Therefore,

calling his combined visual, auditory, and olfactory ability Transparent World

was just perfect.
