The battle continued, with Amon using his agile movement technique to avoid direct confrontation with Liu Qing.
Liu Qing did not panic at his inability to touch his opponent for a long time, a steady expression on his resolute face.
He unhurriedly maintained the same pace, pressuring Amon, while occasionally sweeping his long spear around himself to shatter the gradually accumulating invisible wind ropes.
"It's useless. Stop with these petty tricks and fight me seriously," Liu Qing growled.
"I've always been serious," Amon said, his Dou Qi erupting beneath his feet as he rapidly retreated.
"Explosive Step!"
Accompanied by a powerful recoil, his figure suddenly leaped into the sky, a pair of azure wings condensing behind him, flapping as he flew upwards.
"Dou Qi Wings?" Liu Qing's pupils contracted, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
But soon, he calmed down. "No, it's not."
Elder Su Qian also looked at Amon with some surprise, his eyes shifting from confusion to sudden realization:
"It's not Dou Qi Wings, nor is it a complete flying Dou Technique. Instead, it's forcibly condensed through his powerful control over wind-attribute Dou Qi."
Hu Qian nodded slightly: "If it were any other attribute, it probably wouldn't be so effective. Only his wind-attribute Dou Qi allows him to fly."
If he didn't cultivate a cultivation method, his Dou Qi would be colorless, neutral Dou Qi. To make himself appear like a normal Fighter, Amon specifically had this clone cultivate Yun Shan's cultivation method.
Strong Dou Qi fluctuations came from the sky, bright clusters of light, like miniature suns, hung high above.
Within these light clusters, azure wind-attribute longswords emitted a biting cold gleam.
This was a variation of the Yunlan Sect's Dou Technique, Wind's Extreme: Sunset Radiance, in Amon's hands.
Wind's Extreme: Sunset Radiance is a projectile Dou Technique; once activated, it doesn't require the body to cooperate simultaneously to launch an attack, unlike "Eight Extremities Collapse."
Thus, Amon could have several Spirit Worms use this Dou Technique together, condensing multiple energy swords in the air and then having them fall simultaneously.
Liu Qing's expression changed drastically. Although activating so many Dou Techniques simultaneously caused a slight interference between them, and each of these energy swords was not as powerful as an attack Amon launched using this move alone, when combined and shot out simultaneously, their destructive power was no less than that of a Earth-tier Dou Technique.
"Huh? This is what you meant by the main body not being good at fighting?" Xiao Meng muttered to herself, communicating with the Spirit Worm.
"He really isn't good at fighting. Didn't you notice that all his actions are at the optimal level for this tier? In other words, he can't 'burst out' and use methods beyond his current limit. If it were Xiao Yan of the same tier, the main body would most likely lose," the Spirit Worm judged.
Xiao Meng rolled her eyes. Not being able to perform beyond one's usual level counts as not being good at fighting? Then, aside from "protagonists," no one would be good at fighting.
"Don't worry, we still have a chance to beat him up. The main body is best at using his strengths to cover his weaknesses. Before he truly forms his own system, he definitely has shortcomings," the Spirit Worm encouraged Xiao Meng.
Liu Qing was locked onto by the aura, feeling an inescapable and unavoidable sensation. He gritted his teeth, hardened his resolve, and decided to meet offense with offense.
The thick, long black spear swung in an arc in mid-air. This heavy spear, named "Mountain Splitting Spear," bloomed with dazzling golden light, which then became more subdued.
At the tip of the Mountain Splitting Spear, golden energy flowed like molten gold.
"Wind's Extreme: Meteor!"
The light clusters in the sky dispersed, revealing the azure energy swords, which transformed into sharp sword qi and shot towards Liu Qing.
The dazzling light gradually receded. Beneath that dazzling light, ten sharp sword qi blasts surged towards Liu Qing.
"Good timing... Great Fissure Rock!"
Liu Qing's tall figure stepped forward, and a thunderous roar erupted. As he pushed his right hand forward, the spear tip pointed diagonally towards the sky.
At this moment, the spear struck out like a dragon!
Boom!
The two energies collided, producing a deafening sound, and the terrifying energy stirred up strong winds that swept in all directions.
The entire training ground shook, and a large crater appeared in the center, with vast amounts of smoke and dust billowing.
"What terrifying power!" Even some Elders couldn't help but show a hint of solemnity. This power was already enough to threaten them, who were Dou King experts.
Among the observing students, even the battle-crazed Wu Hao had a hint of fear in his eyes:
"Is this the peak level of Inner Courtyard students?"
He deeply knew that he still had a long way to go to reach the level of these two.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Yao Sheng and Liu Qing's subordinates felt uneasy, their eyes fixed on the front:
"Who won?"
When the smoke and dust cleared, Liu Qing's tall figure stood holding his spear, his clothes tattered and his body covered in blood.
However, this miserable appearance instead caused some female students to scream:
"So handsome! So manly."
Immediately after, Amon also walked out. Aside from his slightly disheveled clothes, he had no injuries whatsoever.
With the comparison, the outcome was immediately clear.
The veteran students of the Inner Courtyard all showed expressions of disbelief. It was hard to imagine that the fourth-ranked expert on the Strong Rankings would actually be defeated by a newly enrolled freshman.
The last time Liu Qing lost so badly was... well, it didn't seem that long ago.
Recalling the scene when that demoness entered the Inner Courtyard, their mouths couldn't help but twitch.
She almost replicated the scenario from the Outer Courtyard! Except for the "Brute Force King," who was first on the Strong Rankings, everyone else on the Strong Rankings was beaten up!
Liu Qing coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood and said, "You win."
He lost consciousness, but he still maintained the posture of standing with his spear, so much so that Yao Sheng and his sister Liu Fei only realized the problem after a while and rushed forward to carry him away for treatment.
"Wait," Amon called out to them, throwing a bottle of pills to Yao Sheng. "These are Tier 4 healing pills."
"Tier 4?" Yao Sheng's pupils constricted slightly, surprised that Amon would casually produce pills of such a grade. "What do you mean?"
Amon smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is what a boss should do."
"Huh?" Yao Sheng looked bewildered.
"Didn't you just invite me to join you? I agreed. Now that I've defeated the original boss, I'm the new boss. Do you have any objections?" As he finished speaking, a hint of displeasure entered his tone.
Yao Sheng was stunned... This development was something he had not expected, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
"Let's talk about it after my cousin wakes up," Liu Fei interjected, answering.
On the high platform, Su Qian and Hu Qian had expressions of confusion and bewilderment. They hadn't understood Amon's move either.
"Elder Su, did you understand it?" Hu Qian asked.
"No... It's a very strange move. It doesn't feel like a single Dou Technique to me; it's as if several Dou Techniques were cast simultaneously," Su Qian frowned, completely baffled.
"I also had that feeling. It's clearly not an Earth-tier Dou Technique, as it doesn't have the characteristic of drawing on world energy, but its destructive power far exceeds that of a Profound-tier," Hu Qian said.
He stood up, ready to announce that the third match would be held in the afternoon, giving Amon time to rest, but then he saw Xiao Meng leave her seat and walk into the arena.
Her eyes, as deep as stars, looked at Amon and asked, "Do you need to rest? Or continue?"
"Let's continue. I'm still in good shape," he said, dropping a candy that looked like a pill into his mouth, pretending to recover Dou Qi.
In reality, his Dou Qi was very abundant. Not to mention the numerous Spirit Worms, just his Dou Emperor main body alone could sustain him in continuous combat.
Xiao Meng nodded. She knew Zhou Mingrui's situation all too well, so she wouldn't be polite with him.
She immediately assumed a fighting stance. Her expression became serious, and her aura revealed a hint of cold murderous intent.
Xun Er, who knew her well, narrowed her eyes and said faintly, "Xiao Meng is actually so serious from the start..."
"That's normal, right? After all, Zhou Mingrui just displayed such strong power."
Xun Er remained noncommittal. Her intuition told her that "Zhou Mingrui" was problematic!
