Amon searched his mind, realizing there was no more profound physics or mathematics knowledge…
…Could it be that it was all accidentally given to Xiao Meng?
Well, such things never existed in the first place.
After a self-deprecating thought, Amon began to consider how to put greater pressure on Xiao Meng to force out her other methods.
Xiao Meng's current displayed combat power, while strong, was still within the Dou Spirit range; she couldn't defeat a Dou King with just this, so she must have even more powerful abilities.
Amon formed hand Seals.
"Wind Wall!"
Large swathes of azure barriers appeared in the sky, obstructing Xiao Meng's flight.
Due to the numerous obstacles created by Amon, Xiao Meng had no choice but to stop her wing-style flight. She hovered for a moment, then, finding the consumption too great, slowly descended to the ground.
Amon continued to exert pressure.
Wind Kill Annihilation Aura!
A large amount of wind-attribute Dou Qi gathered above his head, condensing into azure miniature swords. As his hand Seals changed, the miniature swords spun rapidly towards Xiao Meng.
"Guardian Trigram Palm!"
This was Xun Er's Dou Technique, which Xiao Meng had secretly learned most of after seeing it a few times.
Combined with her "Seal" ability, its defensive capabilities became even stronger.
Her hands struck rapidly, so fast they left afterimages. The azure, spinning energy miniature swords were swatted away one by one, scattering around her.
Amon did not waste this wind-attribute energy. As it heavily surrounded Xiao Meng and had not yet dispersed, he activated "Wind Wall" to trap her inside.
Xiao Meng suddenly lowered her stance, one hand clenched in a punch at her waist, her right hand extended flat, palm open.
Looking at Amon in the air, she slowly curved her lips, forming a smile.
Seeing her posture, an Elder watching the battle widened his eyes, staring intently at the dazzling figure in the arena, afraid to miss any detail.
"Hmm?" Amon raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Meng's right hand retracted halfway, then immediately pushed forward. Dazzling starlight emanated from her palm, and within the brilliant glow, numerous overlapping doors appeared and vanished.
Amon suddenly felt a ripple behind him, and a soft, boneless, fair hand gently pressed against his waist.
Immediately, he found that the Dou Qi flow of this Worm of Spirit, which had manifested as a human, became exceptionally difficult, almost solidifying.
Seal! This was Xiao Meng's Seal ability!
Amon, who also possessed "Seal" and "Unseal" abilities, could naturally break it with ease.
However, because this was something Xiao Meng had already demonstrated and revealed to outsiders, he found it inconvenient to use such power.
He could only stumble and fall towards the ground, like someone who had been affected by a Seal.
Seeing "Zhou Mingrui" act this way, the Elders watching began to whisper.
"Did he get hit? You were defeated by that palm last time, weren't you?" an Elder in yellow robes asked the gray-clad middle-aged man beside him.
The gray-robed Elder, who had been staring intently at Xiao Meng earlier, nodded:
"That's right… This is the second time I've seen it, but I still don't understand. It's practically formless and traceless."
Deputy Dean Hu Qian widened his eyes, "Spatial Dou Technique?"
He had not been present when Xiao Meng had beaten up the Elder last time, and Xiao Meng had not resisted after he made his move, so this was his first time witnessing Xiao Meng's palm strike.
As a peak Dou Emperor, he had already vaguely touched upon the use of spatial abilities.
"Yes." Grand Elder Su Qian nodded, giving an affirmative reply…
He said with a smile, "That girl Xiao Meng really knows how to surprise people… With this move alone, she will face far fewer difficulties when she attempts to break through to Dou Ancestor from peak Dou Emperor."
Dou Ancestor powerhouses could already crudely Exploit spatial power, and comprehending spatial abilities was a major difficulty when advancing to Dou Ancestor.
Hu Qian rubbed his hands excitedly, "I underestimated her, but if this Dou Technique can help people comprehend spatial abilities…"
Su Qian smiled wryly at Hu Qian's demeanor. He understood how tempting such a Dou Technique was to someone stuck at the peak of Dou Emperor, unable to advance.
He whispered, "Plundering a student's Dou Technique is not something we, the teachers of Jia Nan Academy, should do. Of course, if you are willing to pay a great price to exchange for it, and she herself agrees, I will not interfere."
Hu Qian puffed out his beard and glared, "Am I the kind of person who would forcibly take things from students? If my intentions were not upright, the Principal would not have entrusted the Outer Courtyard to me with such peace of mind…
"However, I am indeed coveting that Dou Technique, but I don't know how to bring it up. No matter what, if I bring it up now, it will always feel like I'm using my authority to pressure her."
Su Qian chuckled, "Perhaps you can wait a few years. With that girl's talent, she will probably break through to Dou King in not too long. At that time, the gap between you two will be smaller, and you will initially have the qualifications to talk as equals. Then, you can ask your granddaughter to inquire…"
Hu Qian nodded and said, "That's the only way… Also, please keep an eye on her situation in the Inner Courtyard for me. If she encounters any trouble that's difficult to resolve, let me know."
Su Qian nodded slightly.
Amon, whose Dou Qi was sealed, managed to land safely before it completely stagnated. Xiao Meng, who had already been poised to strike, immediately rushed forward and delivered an elbow strike to his chest.
Amon spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
The Worms of Spirit within Xiao Meng's body cheered.
"Yay!"
Achievement unlocked: Beating up the main body!
"I am not the main body… Before I got hit, the main body had already severed its mental connection with me."
The Worm of Spirit "Zhou Mingrui" sent a message.
"Eh?" The Worms of Spirit on Xiao Meng's side became dejected again.
Their emotions affected Xiao Meng, making her also seem dispirited.
Amon got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his right hand, and said weakly, "I lost… What is that last move of yours called?"
Xiao Meng regained some of her spirits, a beautiful smile appearing on her lips, and replied in a melodious voice, "Invisible Hand… This move is called Invisible Hand!"
When Amon reached the fifth rank, the characteristics of "Door" began to manifest. In addition to "Seal" and "Unseal," spatial abilities were naturally included.
The Corpse Dance Crow had also used this point to conceal itself before.
However, the spatial characteristics Amon displayed were only the most superficial and not very strong, so he hadn't paid much attention to them.
In any case, as long as his cultivation improved, his spatial characteristics would further strengthen, and then developing and applying them in combat would be much easier.
He hadn't expected Xiao Meng to give him a surprise; she had already applied the not-so-strong spatial characteristics to actual combat and, based on that, had even created a Dou Technique!
Amon nodded with a smile, "A very fitting name."
The mystery of Xiao Meng's powerful combat strength was also revealed.
A Dou King who didn't understand spatial power would find it very difficult to dodge "Invisible Hand," and coupled with the "Seal" ability that could even affect Dou Kings… The combination of the two allowed her to overpower most Dou Kings!
Although Xiao Meng's Seal was not as long-lasting as Medusa's Serpent Seal Curse or the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Purple Crystal Seal, in combat, it didn't need to last long; even a mere few tens of seconds were enough to decide the outcome of a battle!
Hu Qian stood up and, with a smile, announced the results of the trial. He said to Amon, "Congratulations, from now on, you are officially a student of our Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy."
Amon, with a gentle smile on his face, bowed slightly and replied, "It is my honor."
