After seeing her teammate's performance and the astonished look in the eyes of the opposing [Mind]-attribute Transcendent, Xu Zhi confirmed that she really could "enhance" her teammates. Of course, she could also weaken them—or strengthen the enemy.
However, enhancing her teammates consumed very little Transcendent energy, while cutting off [Mind]-attribute Transcendent abilities took quite a bit more effort. At the very least, it was far harder than suppressing Chun Ming's flames.
Seeing her teammate land a hit and the opposing [Mind] and [Forge] users react and prepare to fight back, Xu Zhi immediately said, "Don't move!"
Her targets were the opponents, so they were the ones who received that "command."
Almost instantly, nearly half the Transcendent energy in her body was drained away. The [Lamp]-attribute circuit lit up in that moment, and then an invisible set of shackles issued by "Cursed Speech" descended upon Xu Zhi's two targets. The next second, they obediently stopped moving, standing blankly in place at such a critical moment.
Although Xu Zhi's teammate was shocked by the sight, his hands did not hesitate. He stabbed each of them once more. The wounds were not fatal. After both thrusts landed, the light representing victory and defeat lit up. The next second, the two opponents under Xu Zhi's control regained their ability to move.
Their eyes were still somewhat dazed. Clearly, they had no idea how the match had ended so quickly. Their side had not even gotten the chance to do anything!

The two attacks Xu Zhi's teammate had decisively delivered while they could not move
