Amiya returned to her bedroom and looked at the pile of news about the Reunion Movement on her desk, a hint of weariness in her eyes.
Now, a war is about to break out in the eastern part of Ursus, and this war is very likely to spread to Chernobog, a mobile city in the south.
In Chernobog, there is an important ruin—a sarcophagus, a product of technology from a previous civilization, and also the place where Rhodes Island's former doctor was laid to rest.
The Doctor is a human from a pre-civilization era. After the Tower of Babel incident, the severely injured Doctor was placed in a sarcophagus for treatment.
Amiya didn't want to disturb the Doctor so soon, but the current situation could lead to the army discovering the secret of the sarcophagus and the Doctor after entering Chernobog. Therefore, Amiya had to find the Doctor before that happened.
"Now, Dr. Kal'tsit is only allowing me to do so because she sees my growth and is also worried that the Doctor might fall into the hands of others. Sigh..." Amiya doesn't want to recall what happened back then; it was a very sad past.
However, she firmly believed that everything would get better once the Doctor returned. As for the truth of what happened back then, although she didn't know, she would choose to believe the Doctor without hesitation.
Because it was the Doctor who saved her from Rembiton, and it was the Doctor who taught her everything.
Lying in bed, Amiya pondered and planned how to break through the current blockade and rescue the Doctor from Chernobog. Sleepiness gradually crept in, and Amiya blinked before drifting off to sleep. (The last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly a fragment from another text.)
"Hmm? This is... [unintelligible text]"
Amiya spends each night immersing herself in a state of profound tranquility, a quiet contemplation of the world around her.
Amiya watched as a dark figure approached her from the void, realizing that another day of training was about to begin, and she prepared herself. Once the figure said "begin," she would unleash her demonic power without hesitation.
"What's wrong, Amiya? You seem a bit distracted?"
"Yes!...Eh?" Amiya was about to cast [White Luo Extinction] on her own, but when she realized that the words she heard were different from the usual greetings, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
“Teacher, you’ve arrived,” Amiya replied with a smile.
"Well, since you're asleep, it's time for your daily practice," Wang Chong said slowly. "But judging from your appearance, what troubles you encountered outside today?"
"Actually, it's nothing serious, it's just that these past few days..." Amiya told Wang Chong about the recent events one by one.
In fact, Amiya knew very well that her teacher had been missing for three whole months. The shadowy figure who had been supervising her practice for those three months was not her teacher.
Although the voices were similar and the discipline was equally strict, the shadowy figure seemed solely focused on mastering the power of the black mist, completely disregarding everything else.
Although the voices were similar and the discipline was equally strict, the shadowy figure seemed solely focused on mastering the power of the black mist, completely disregarding everything else.
On the contrary, a real teacher is actually quite restless; he enjoys listening to you talk about the outside world and always tries to read your emotions from your face. So Amiya quickly distinguished the two shadowy figures based on this difference.
"That dark shadow must have been something left behind by the teacher. It was probably just a reminder device used to specifically supervise my practice, like an alarm clock."
Amiya thought to herself. She didn't understand why her teacher had left this shadowy figure behind, or what he had been doing while he was gone. However, Amiya knew very well that everyone had their own secrets, and her teacher had taught her not to pry into other people's secrets.
Therefore, Amiya did not point this out, but pretended not to know anything and poured out her heart as usual.
"I see. Are you planning to rescue that doctor?" Wang Chong pretended to think for a moment, then said, "I can't offer much other advice, but as your doctor said, you need to be prepared and not act rashly."
"I thought, given the teacher's temper, she would have told me to just charge in," Amiya said, sticking out her tongue.
"You little brat, if it were just me, I would naturally charge straight in. But does Rhodes Island have the ability to charge in and then charge out again?"
Wang Chong just laughed and cursed, then continued:
"In short, you can focus on your preparations. Once you have a detailed plan, then we'll figure out a way to enter Chernobog to carry out the rescue."
Amiya nodded, clearly agreeing with Wang Chong's teachings.
"Alright, Amiya, now that you've resolved your worries, it's time to practice [White Luo Extinguishes Essence] and [Heavenly General Gallops] properly," Wang Chong said slowly.
"Yes."
Amiya immediately began to perform in front of Wang Chong. A lot of black energy flew out from her hands, and then Wang Chong felt an extremely domineering suction force coming from Amiya's hands.
Wang Chong observed that all the Originium energy around them was being controlled by Amiya's Demon King power, constantly converging towards her hand. This was precisely why there was such a domineering suction force.
"Very good. Amiya has already mastered the essence of the White Luo Extinction Technique. It seems she has grasped the knack. However... there are still many subtle differences compared to the White Luo Extinction Technique taught by the system."
Wang Chong knew very well that the White Luo Extinction Technique he had previously taught was merely a vague and inaccurate version of the move, based on his own understanding. Even so, it still took Amiya a month to master it.
"Alright, let's move on to the next move," Wang Chong said.
"Yes—Heavenly General Rushing Forth!" Amiya unleashed the energy from the Originium sphere she had just gathered, and a massive black energy pillar hurtled directly toward Wang Chong.
Wang Chong neither dodged nor evaded, feeling the black energy pillar bombarding his body. Hmm, it was very light, almost no impact at all.
It wasn't that Amiya's attack was weak, but rather that the energy strangely clung to Wang Chong's body and left when it came into contact with him.
Amiya's progress was better than expected; she truly achieved her goal of "keeping the energy completely under her control even if it slips through her fingers."
"However, it is still a level below the true [Heavenly General's Raging Force]. You must know that the true [Heavenly General's Raging Force] is to blast into the body, precisely pouring power into the enemy's body, and then, according to the user's will, it can explode at any time."
Wang Chong confirmed Amiya's current mastery of the two techniques. Although it took three months to achieve this result, it was enough to make Wang Chong marvel at Amiya's potential and comprehension.
"Not bad, you have mastered these two moves very well and have reached the level I required when I first taught you."
Wang Chong nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Now, I will demonstrate the highest level of these two moves to you. You must watch carefully and learn well."
Chapter 226: Strange Phenomenon
Under Wang Chong's guidance, Amiya quickly began to systematically learn the two skills, [White Luo Annihilation] and [Heavenly General's Rush]. Amiya tried raising her hands, and two identical swirling suction forces appeared in them.
For a time, the entire area was filled with the sounds of rushing words and the urgent conversations of the people.
However, unlike the previous [White Luo Extinction], where the absorbed energy would only form a continuously compressing sphere in Amiya's hand, the energy now remained unchanged and continued to rotate around Amiya's hand.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just a difference between having the ball and not having it. In terms of control, having the ball puts Amiya to the test of her control and willpower even more.
The previous method of absorbing energy into a sphere essentially only concentrated all the energy at one point, using a clever trick to make all the energy rotate around the absorption point. In other words, it created an absorption point, giving the illusion that the entire area of energy was at my disposal.
However, the current [White Luo Extinction] without a ball does the opposite, directly causing all the source stone energy within a certain range to swirl, making the resulting suction effect and suction point an illusion.
This is the truly terrifying aspect of the "White Luo Extinction": all energy within its range can be manipulated by Amiya through her whirlwind attack.
In this way, Amiya can change the direction of this energy as easily as waving her arm, creating energy vortices centered on her hand or any spatial location.
"go with!"
Sure enough, Amiya lowered her hands, and then the entire energy vortex changed. An elliptical vortex space was formed with Wang Chong and Amiya as the focal point.
The swirling energy enveloped Wang Chong and Amiya. Then, the two simultaneously raised their fingers, and several dark streams shot out from two directions from the swirling Originium energy, before colliding together.
"Slash!" Wang Chong swung his sword, a sharp blade of light heading straight for Amiya.
"disease!"
Amiya flicked her hand again, and the swirling black energy seemed to stir up a dark wind. When the wind swept over the blade light, it actually dimmed the blade light a bit.
As layer upon layer of black wind blew, the blade light was quickly assimilated by Amiya's Originium energy and drawn into the surrounding still-rotating Originium energy.
Wang Chong nodded with some satisfaction and said, "Alright, show me your next move."
Upon hearing this, Amiya immediately raised her hands together, pushed them forward forcefully, and cried out, "Heavenly General Rushing Forth!"
As if receiving some kind of command, the lingering Originium energy suddenly transformed into black pillars from all directions and bombarded Wang Chong.
"Well!"
Wang Chong felt the impact of the black pillar's energy. More terrifying than the devastating power of the impact was the eerie energy that was constantly seeping into his body in subtle ways.
Fortunately, with Amiya's current strength, she couldn't harm Wang Chong. Therefore, after sensing that Amiya had mastered her technique, she immediately dispersed the black pillars and then said:
"Not bad, you've already learned this much in just one night. All you need to do now is practice repeatedly and master it."
As Wang Chong spoke, he approached Amiya. In his outstretched hands, the black Originium energy formed a black line, which, like a dancing dragon, circled and swirled in the air around Wang Chong's hands.
"The two moves I just demonstrated were the ones I taught you... How was it? Did you grasp anything?" Wang Chong then clenched his fist, extinguishing the black energy, and smiled as he looked at Amiya, asking.
"What the teacher meant was that rather than being bound by the form, I should focus more on the core of these two moves—'contraction and release'—so that Bai Luo Mie Jing and Tian Jiang Ben Lie could be completely transformed into moves that I could execute with every gesture."
Amiya thought about it carefully for a while, and then answered.
"That's right, it emphasizes meaning over form. Your understanding is already very good."
Wang Chong nodded and said:
"Before I leave, I'll teach you one more fun game. Once you learn this game, it will greatly help you understand how to use 'gathering' and 'releasing' simultaneously."
"Games? What games?" Amiya asked curiously.
Wang Chong extended two fingers, gathering energy at their tips, and then drew two shapes in front of him: a square on the left and a circle on the right.
"This is... asking me to draw squares and circles?" Amiya scratched her head, feeling that it seemed quite simple.
"Hmm, draw a square with your left hand and a circle with your right hand, it's a very simple game, right?" Wang Chong said with a smile. "Want to try it?"
Amiya followed suit, gathering Originium energy at her fingertips and leaving a mark where she drew it.
"Hmm, draw a square with your left hand and a circle with your right hand, it's a very simple game, right?" Wang Chong said with a smile. "Want to try it?"
Amiya followed suit, gathering Originium energy at her fingertips and leaving a mark where she drew it.
"Eh...Eh?!" Then Amiya realized something was wrong. The two patterns she had drawn were neither quite round nor quite square.
So Amiya tried again, focusing on the square, because drawing a square requires changing three directions continuously. After finishing, she found that the circle on her right hand was also perfectly square.
I tried again, this time focusing on the circle and trying to draw it well, but I found that the square I drew with my left hand was no longer sharp and angular, but had become much rounder.
"Is...is this really going to be drawn well?" Amiya asked, somewhat doubtfully.
"Hehe, do you think it's harder to learn Bai Luo Mie Jing and Tian Jiang Ben Lie, or to draw?" Wang Chong shook his head with a smile and said, "Alright, don't think too much about it. When you can actually draw it well, you'll understand what I mean."
Amiya nodded, somewhat confused.
"Go and get some rest and relax, little girl." After saying this, Wang Chong disappeared from Amiya's sight.
Seeing Wang Chong leave, Amiya stopped thinking about it and continued walking away. She then looked at the other woman, who was now a stranger in the crowd.
"However, I feel like I'm in much better shape today than before. Even though it's a more profound concept, I understood and learned it all at once. It's just that I really didn't understand how to draw the circle and square at the end..."
Amiya pondered as she walked out of the [unclear text - possibly a place name or location].
After Amiya disappeared from this space, Wang Chong's figure reappeared in the [location name missing].
"Black Alice... how exactly do you teach Amiya? I have a feeling that Amiya has noticed the differences between you and me?"
Although Amiya hid it well, Wang Chong had paid extra attention to such details after Ines's reminder. Therefore, when he greeted Amiya, he noticed the fleeting joy in her eyes and quickly deduced it.
"Please forgive me, Master. I was worried that doing too much would make the other party notice my flaws, so I tried to greet people and speak as little as possible. I focused on arranging training."
"Black Alice" appeared in front of Wang Chong, looking very apologetic.
"I see, it's because the difference before and after was too big." Wang Chong immediately understood the reason and said.
"Then I will try to learn my master's tone and habits from now on...?" Black Alice couldn't help but ask.
"No need. Now that it's been discovered, there's no point in hiding it anymore. Just continue as usual," Wang Chong said calmly. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
“Yes…” Black Alice nodded in agreement.
"Also, Black Alice, if possible, you should try to get this little rabbit to focus its attention on my little game. It won't take much time, but every few days counts," Wang Chong said slowly.
"Uh... I wonder why Master would want that little rabbit to be distracted?" Black Alice asked, her eyes darting around in confusion.
“It’s simple. I want to get involved in Chernobog,” Wang Chong said with a light smile. “It’s not just that near-infinite energy device—the sarcophagus. I’m also quite interested in that doctor that Amiya has been so keen on.”
"...So Master intends to stall Amiya to buy time to take Chernobog? But isn't the Reunion army in the north? It's far from the south, isn't it?"
"Black Alice" couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, the seeds of the Reunion Movement have long been sown throughout the entire Eastern Snowfield... even Chern City is no exception." Wang Chong chuckled and said, "To take Chern City, we don't need any large army from the Reunion Movement at all; they can do it on their own... that's enough."
“…Alice understands.” “Black Alice” nodded in reply.
"Alright, you continue to keep an eye on Amiya's situation here. I'll come over to check on her whenever I feel like it." With that, Wang Chong transformed into a wisp of black mist and headed towards another exit.
After Wang Chong left completely, "Black Alice's" appearance slowly changed. Her original white hair turned into long, dark brown hair, and her face completely transformed into that of another person.

She wore a black mini skirt with purple trim and black stockings, with a metal ring on her left ankle, and white sneakers.
"Ha, so they've set their sights on the prophet? Were those words he just said a test to test me, or were they simply stating his purpose?"
The intellectual woman smiled faintly as she looked in the direction Wang Chong had left, her eyes sparkling with white-edged diamond patterns.
"Humans from other worlds. What kind of footprints will you leave on this satellite? Will you be able to change a fate that even our civilization has been unable to alter?"
"Alas, it's a pity that I can't calculate this possibility precisely right now... There are too many variables, and I don't have any reliable tools at hand."
After pondering for a moment with a hint of distress, the intellectual woman finally decided:
"Well, judging from the current situation, it's only a matter of time before the 'Prophet' comes into contact with this person from beyond the realm. In that case, it's better to just let this gentleman take the 'Prophet' away... Anyway, even if it's bad, it's better than those little animals being taken away."
