Listening to Amon's calm yet clear voice, no one present dared to speak.
No one agreed, and of course, no one objected.
Tang Xiao's body was still lying on the ground, not yet cold!
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, looked shocked, but a faint sense of frustration welled up in her heart. It was the first time she had felt such a despairingly large gap in someone her own age.
Even though she possessed innate level twenty soul power, a divine-grade martial soul, and was a well-deserved child of heaven, she paled in comparison to Amon's sun-like performance.
In the battle just now, Amon had only made a handful of moves, but each one was astonishing.
The first time, he blocked Bibi Dong's attack, repelling her while remaining motionless himself. The second time, he blocked Tang Xiao's attack on the Spirit Hall personnel, causing him to cough up blood. The third time, he held the Clear Sky Hammer with one hand and blocked the Dragon Serpent Twin Rods with the other, repelling Qian Jun and Jiang Mo.
Although Tang Xiao had actually died from his soul skill, from the perspective of others, Amon had casually blocked his strongest move and killed him.
This terrifying record chilled everyone to the bone. Even Title Douluos Qian Jun and Jiang Mo were momentarily subdued, their eyes filled with undisguised horror.
Although Amon had previously unleashed an aura comparable to a Limit Douluo, aura was, after all, just aura. After being initially frightened, they could analyze it and realize that his aura was somewhat different.
Compared to the pressure of a normal Title Douluo, Amon's aura seemed loose and chaotic, like a huge stitched monster. Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but the difference was obvious to Title Douluos.
However, the subsequent actions were different. They were a true display of power, especially the final act of holding the Clear Sky Hammer with one hand and blocking the Dragon Serpent Twin Rods with the other. Even Golden Crocodile Douluo probably couldn't do that!
Regardless of how Amon did it, he had indeed displayed shocking power.
Amon pinched his monocle and spoke again, "I don't think I violated the competition rules, nor did I ever leave the arena."
Qian Renxue then realized that Amon's feet had never touched the ground outside the arena since the beginning of the competition, even when blocking Tang Xiao, he had been standing in the air!
Qian Jun and Jiang Mo also changed color. Facing the attacks of Tang Xiao and themselves at the same time, he was still considering these things. How terrifying was that!
A terrifying aura rose from Amon again, making everyone's hearts tremble. "What? Are you all ignoring me? Didn't you hear what I said?"
Qian Jun Douluo quickly said, "I agree, Your Excellency Amon, the name of champion is well-deserved."
He said this, but in his heart, he complained: 'What the hell, you're bullying people by competing in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament at this level...'
Jiang Mo Douluo echoed, "I also agree."
"Xue Qinghe" took a deep breath, feigning composure, and said with a faint smile, "Well-deserved."
Their gazes all turned to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's expression stiffened, she glanced at Amon, and said somewhat unwillingly:
"I announce that the champion of this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is the Northern Academy. Congratulations."
She said this congratulation very perfunctorily.
Amon didn't care. He picked up the three soul bones held by a bishop, and the smile on his face became a little more sincere.
At this point, all his plans in the Soul Master Competition were complete.
At the beginning of the final, he used soul pressure to intimidate the Shrek Seven Devils. When he patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, causing her to fall to the ground, he deliberately let the 'Lovesick Heartbroken Red' detach from her body, exposing her identity as a soul beast, and took the opportunity to replace the Worm of Time parasitizing within it.
In addition to this, this action also completed his biggest and most important purpose, stealing Xiao Wu's fourth soul skill, 'Invincible Golden Body', and her third soul skill, 'Instant Teleportation'.
Amon's fourth soul skill, 'Prometheus', had the effect of 'stealing' a soul skill no higher than the sixth soul ring. The target distance could not exceed 50 meters, and it lasted for 24 hours. The person being stolen from could not use this skill. After 24 hours, the soul skill would automatically be 'returned', or Amon could voluntarily 'return' it early.
There was only one slot for stealing. Once the steal was successful, 'stealing' could not be used again within 24 hours, and the stolen soul skill could only be used once. Even if the original owner of the soul skill died, Amon could still use this soul skill during the duration of the 'steal' effect.
Amon could steal the soul skill and, before returning it, have another clone steal it from the original clone, thereby refreshing the return time and the number of uses.
The stolen soul skill 'can only be used once', but in other words, it 'can be used once'.
Xiao Wu's 'Invincible Golden Body' allowed her to be invincible for three seconds, immune to any attack damage, and could only be used three times a day.
Both were rule-based abilities, and when a conflict occurred, the higher-level rule would override the lower-level rule.
The ring count in Douluo was somewhat similar to the grade in 'Lord of the Mysteries'. Being both rule-based, the higher the ring count, the more it would override the lower-ringed soul skill effect.
Amon's 'Prometheus' and Xiao Wu's 'Invincible Golden Body' were both fourth soul rings, with the same grade, but Amon's soul ring was obtained beyond the age limit, making its efficacy stronger than that of Xiao Wu's, which was condensed according to her own physical limits.
Therefore, when 'can be used once' conflicted with 'can only be used three times', the more effective 'can be used once' would override the effect of 'can only be used three times'!
In other words, Amon had exploited a bug. He could continuously steal between clones to refresh the number of times 'Invincible Golden Body' could be used. He could use 'Invincible Golden Body' as many times as he had clones!
He knew that although 'Invincible Golden Body' could make him immune to damage, he would also be knocked away by other people's attacks, so he stole another rule-based soul skill, 'Immovable as a Mountain', from an Elephant Armor Sect disciple in advance.
'Immovable as a Mountain' prevented him from being moved by external force and was a continuous soul skill that could be maintained for a long time after activation with soul power consumption. With Amon's soul power, he could easily maintain it for a very long time.
Of course, this soul skill also had its drawbacks, which was that although he could not be moved by external force, he would have to withstand higher damage.
Because the process of moving served to dissipate force, if he did not move, he would bear all the force of the attack himself.
'Invincible Golden Body' and 'Immovable as a Mountain' were used in conjunction, and the shortcomings of each were masked, giving people a true sense of 'invincibility'.
Amon's blocking of Bibi Dong, Tang Xiao, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo's attacks earlier was based on the combined use of these two.
After stealing Xiao Wu's soul skills, Amon touched Bibi Dong all over.
He repeatedly used 'Steal' on Bibi Dong, stealing all 12 soul skills from her two martial souls, from the first to the sixth ring!
Bibi Dong's second martial soul, Soul Eater Spider Emperor's, sixth soul skill, 'Eternal Creation', was a single-target attack skill from a 100,000-year soul beast, which could effectively make up for Amon's lack of attack power.
After completing the stealing of these two's soul skills, one for attack and one for defense, Amon had almost no weaknesses and was enough to stand on the stage and display his power unscrupulously.
So, he stood in the sky!
Bibi Dong realized that there was a problem with her soul skills. There were two anomalies in the arena: one was Xiao Wu, who was prostrate on the ground, trembling, and the other was Amon, who was standing in the sky, wantonly flaunting his power. She unhesitatingly locked onto the latter.
This was the real reason why Bibi Dong was so persistent in attacking him.
Afterward, Amon released a huge soul pressure, attracting the attention of the elders, and 'Decrypted' their information when their auras interacted. This was just a side effect and the least important of Amon's many goals.
The Soul Master Competition was coming to an end without any suspense.
Bibi Dong, as in the original work, ordered the capture of Xiao Wu and boldly attacked Amon herself, but he casually blocked it.
In the subsequent melee, Amon made his second move, blocking Tang Xiao's attack on the Spirit Hall personnel, both deepening the impression in other people's minds that 'Amon is a strong man' and winning the favor of many people in the Spirit Hall.
After Tang Hao fled, when Tang Xiao was besieged by Qian Jun and Jiang Mo and fell into a desperate situation, Amon stole Ning Fengzhi's soul skill and added it to Tang Xiao, giving him additional assistance.
Tang Xiao did not fail his expectations and wanted to inflict some damage on the Spirit Hall with his life before he died.
At this moment of crisis, the Spirit Hall's friendly partner, Amon, who had previously saved the lives of many Spirit Hall members, stood up again, blocking between Tang Xiao and the Papal Hall.
However, he didn't seem to notice the combined attack skill of Qian Jun and Jiang Mo and fell into a difficult situation of being besieged.
Amon 'had to' further display his power, completing the feat of holding the Clear Sky Hammer with one hand and repelling Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, once again giving the surrounding people a little shock.
He successfully created an image of 'powerful, young, sun-like Amon' in everyone's minds.
Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, Bibi Dong, Chen Xin, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and a group of other Title Douluos had no doubts.
They acknowledged Amon's strength and recognized that he could be among the ranks of Title Douluos and enjoy the treatment that Title Douluos should enjoy.
Qian Jun's addition of the word 'Your Excellency' after his title when he agreed that he had won the competition was the best proof.
This was another of Amon's plans in this Soul Master Competition: to gain 'status in the world'.
This would help the development of his next plan.
Previously, when he cooperated with Welt, he was actually at a disadvantage. If it weren't for Yan Jin's relationship, Welt wouldn't have been so polite to him.
But now, Amon could talk to anyone on an equal footing and negotiate cooperation, including the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, including the current Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, 'Xue Qinghe'!
Yan Jin, Lei Yin, Romier, and the others from the Northern Academy were not affected by the aura released by the strong men's battle due to the protection of Amon's Worm of Time and witnessed the entire process.
At this moment, they were all dumbfounded. After the competition, the captain became 'Your Excellency'?
