Amon called his third soul skill "Cryptologist."
It also brought an active skill, along with some permanent passive enhancements.
Passive effects: Enhanced perception, discerning weaknesses, finding loopholes, predicting danger, and judging the target's next action through subtle body language.
When actively activated, it is a continuous skill that can predict the soul ring or soul bone skill that the target will launch one second in advance, and understand the effect and loopholes of this soul skill.
The insight effect is related to the level comparison between oneself and the opponent. If the target's level is higher than one's own, then the information obtained from the insight will be very little.
Amon smiled. The puzzle pieces of his abilities were becoming more and more complete, developing in the direction of "Mysteries Amon."
Of course, since this is a soul ring skill, after "Douluo localization", it is not completely consistent with the abilities of the "Thief" sequence at various stages in Mysticism, and there are some differences.
He expects his next soul skill to give him the ability to fight head-on, instead of the current situation where all his serious soul skills are used for support, and he can only rely on his self-created "air bullets" to deal damage.
Amon walked out of the carriage and looked at Yan Jin and Lei Yin, who were sitting on the stone eating dry food.
The carriage cannot keep moving. It needs to stop for repairs every once in a while to allow the horses and people to relieve the fatigue of the journey.
Bi Da'er also got out of his luxury carriage. His carriage was much better than the one Amon and the others hired. It was more comfortable to sit in, with not much bumps, and the one pulling the carriage was a black scale horse with a trace of soul beast blood.
He found a flat piece of grass, spread a thick velvet blanket on the ground, and with a flash of light on his fingers, a pile of steaming hot dishes appeared on the stall.
Braised pork knuckle, roasted whole lamb, foie gras, caviar, sashimi...
Yan Jin glanced at Bi Da'er's rich meals, and suddenly felt that her dry food was even more difficult to swallow.
She swallowed her saliva, turned around and stopped looking at him.
Bi Da'er smiled, "Come here, I've prepared a portion for four people this time, enough for us to eat to Beidi City."
"Then I won't be polite." Amon walked to his side and sat down cross-legged.
"Oh... love you, golden retriever." Yan Jin jumped up from the spot, leaped high from the stone, and then landed lightly beside Amon.
Lei Yin also walked over and said politely, "Thank you for the treat."
After a hearty meal, Yan Jin touched her stomach and lay on the blanket without any image, "I'm so full... Bi Da'er, how did you bring so many things with you?"
Bi Da'er glanced at Yan Jin in surprise. This was the first time she called him by his name instead of calling him "golden retriever."
He shook his right hand, revealing the ring he was wearing on his index finger, "This is a space ring, a special soul tool with a small space inside that can hold dead objects."
"Oh? There is such a convenient thing?" Yan Jin looked envious.
Bi Da'er wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Amon and asked, "We want to form a team, at least seven people, do you have any candidates for the other three?"
Amon shook his head and said, "Not for the time being. Let's go to the academy and see. There are outstanding students from the entire Beidi Province gathered there. There will always be a few with good strength."
"Well, I'll recommend a few then, you can see if they are suitable..." Bi Da'er has defaulted to Amon's dominance.
Yan Jin and Lei Yin's powerful combat power displayed in the battle with the Eyeless Snake had already conquered him. And Amon, who could make the two of them, especially Yan Jin, the troublemaker, obedient, would naturally be even more powerful.
"Okay." Amon nodded lightly.
After a moment of silence, Bi Da'er suddenly stood up and said, "Fight me. If you win, I will admit that you are the captain."
Amon pinched his monocle, with a smile in his eyes, "Are you sure?"
Bi Da'er said with a serious expression: "I'm sure... Although I guess you are probably a support-type soul master, the reason why the two of them suddenly became so powerful that day during the battle with the Eyeless Snake should be due to your credit, right?
"It's a bit unfair for a battle soul master like me to challenge a support soul master like you, but since you want to be the captain, you have to show the strength that convinces everyone."
Yan Jin widened her eyes, looked at Bi Da'er, with admiration and pity in her expression.
She has challenged Amon countless times over the years, and each time she was unilaterally beaten.
Even with her thick nerves, she was almost beaten into a psychological shadow.
"Then as you wish." Amon walked to an open space away from the road.
Bi Da'er stood opposite him, with a bit of caution.
"Bi Da'er, level 31 agility attack type battle soul master." Bi Da'er introduced himself according to the etiquette before the soul master duel.
Amon smiled and said, "Amon, level 34 support type soul master."
"Level 34?" Bi Da'er was stunned, "Didn't you just absorb the soul ring?"
"As you know, the age of the soul ring I absorbed was a bit high. Corresponding to the risk, there is also a high return, isn't it?"
"That's true, enviable." Bi Da'er nodded, and lit up his martial soul, with two yellow and one purple three soul rings shining brightly.
Seeing that Amon was still standing there relaxed and leisurely, without any movement, he couldn't help frowning, "Aren't you going to summon your martial soul?"
Amon just smiled and said, "I'm ready, you can attack at any time."
Seeing that he was so arrogant, Bi Da'er also felt a little annoyed, "Then be careful."
"Gem Cat, possess!"
Without much hesitation, he immediately activated the second soul ring, accelerating towards Amon.
Amon held up his index finger and thumb, aiming at Bi Da'er.
"Air Bullet."
"Bang!"
A small pit exploded on the ground.
Bi Da'er's eyes shrank. With the good reaction and agility brought by the cat martial soul, he avoided this attack, but was forced back by more "air bullets."
The distance between the two became farther and farther as a result.
"You didn't not use your martial soul, but your martial soul, or a certain soul skill, can cover up the visual effect of the martial soul and the soul power fluctuations, right?" Bi Da'er said with certainty.
"Oh? You found out so quickly? That little idiot Yan Jin took half a year to guess." Amon praised.
Bi Da'er glanced at Yan Jin, who was called an idiot and grinding her teeth aside, and said:
"It's easy to guess. When you launch a soul skill, even a self-created soul skill, it's impossible not to have any soul power fluctuations. I only felt the attack after you launched it, so you must have a similar skill, and the scope of effect is only yourself, right? The soul skill cannot continue to affect after it leaves the body."
Amon nodded, "That's right, but there are two concepts before and after the soul skill leaves the body. You have enough time to react to the former, but for the latter, it is often too late when you find out."
This is the same as dodging bullets. Maybe people with quick reactions can predict the landing point of the bullet based on the shooter's movements and dodge it, but it's too late to dodge after the bullet leaves the barrel.
