The members of Amon's team mostly strived to participate in the competition to showcase themselves on that stage, win honors, and thus gain better development opportunities.
Provided it didn't affect him, Amon didn't mind helping them and offering convenience. He also wasn't interested in taking action in every match, planning to leave most of the competitions to his team members, only being responsible for guarding the rear.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to understand the level of his team members, but he didn't expect Yan Jin and Lei Yin to give him such a big surprise.
A martial soul fusion skill directly escalated the battle to a point where others couldn't interfere.
Although Amon could also interrupt them, he didn't plan to use his weird skills in this battle. That kind of silent and terrifying power could only be experienced by the person involved.
And in this battle, he wanted to use more intuitive, grandiose skills to achieve an overwhelming victory.
Therefore, facing Yan Jin and Lei Yin's martial soul fusion skill, he directly used Romier's barrier martial soul to construct a giant to deal with it.
Afterward, he ended the farce with two clean and decisive strikes, so that others had no chance to act at all.
Although he failed to understand the true level of Ilya and others, the demonstration effect was significant.
The originally arrogant Sun Boyuan became like a quail, Earl Rhodes retreated, and Principal Zhong Yuming also handed over the power of the participating team entirely to Amon.
"Sorry, Amon, the old man asked me to do this. I thought he had discussed it with you," Yan Jin said with his head lowered, feeling somewhat apologetic.
Bi Da'er and Ilya's hearts sank. They had forced Romier without Amon's consent, which was undoubtedly challenging the captain's authority.
In fact, before clearly expressing their support for Franco, they had communicated, and Yan Jin's attitude made them mistakenly believe that Amon had acquiesced to this matter.
Amon pinched the bridge of his nose, and said softly: "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price… Although someone will pay the price for this matter for you, I don't want it to happen again."
That evening, Amon came to the Spirit Hall.
Walking up to the second floor, he knocked on the door of Walter's office.
"Please come in."
Seeing that it was Amon who came in, Walter showed a somewhat helpless smile.
Amon said with a hint of a smile, "Mr. Walter, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Walter sighed slightly, "This was not my idea… I just gave the substitute spot to the Rhodes family. I reminded them that if they wanted the position of a regular team member, they should discuss it with you."
Walter concealed Salas's existence, speaking half-truths.
"I didn't expect they would bypass you and directly try to snatch it through this method."
Amon sat down on the chair opposite Walter, "Franco is the person you chose, so I will keep his substitute position for him."
Since Amon glossed over the matter of being offended and expressed his cooperative attitude, Walter also had to show something. This was the tacit understanding they had developed over a long period of time.
"You want this, right? I found it for you." Walter crooked his finger.
A thick book flew out of the bookshelf and came to Walter's hand along the thread's guidance.
He handed the book to Amon, who took it with a smile.
The cover of the book was made of cowhide, which felt cool and soft to the touch.
Although it was very simple, the workmanship was excellent. After opening it, the ink inside was still new, obviously it hadn't been long since it was copied.
The book had no name, and it recorded information about immortal herbs that Amon was currently very interested in.
It not only recorded the shape characteristics of various immortal herbs in detail, but also the harvesting methods, consumption methods, and effects of consumption.
This Immortal Herb Compendium is very precious in a certain sense. This is the research accumulation of generations of the "Po" Clan, but from another perspective, it is meaningless, because immortal herbs are rare, and most people find it difficult to encounter even one in their lifetime.
"I'm very curious, where did you learn about the name Yang Wushuang?" Walter's eyes carried a bit of scrutiny.
Amon smiled, "This is my secret. A good cooperative relationship is built on giving each other a certain amount of space."
"Alright, I won't explore this point, but you better not mention this name again. This is my advice," Walter's tone was slightly serious.
Amon used his finger to push up the lower edge of his glasses, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I understand."
Yang Wushuang is the younger brother of Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the "Po" Clan. He is also a master of poison. After being captured, he surrendered to the Spirit Hall.
The poison of Emperor Xue Ye came from Yang Wushuang, or rather, the recipe he provided… This means that he is likely working under Qian Renxue.
Walter warned me not to mention this name. Does this mean that he also has some connection with Qian Renxue, who is disguised as Xue Qinghe, knows the importance of Yang Wushuang, and is afraid that the conspiracy will be exposed? Amon secretly guessed in his heart.
The two were speechless, and time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Walter broke the silence, "Yan Jin's fourth spirit ring target has been found, do you want to come along?"
Amon originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how many clones he had that had nothing to do, he changed his mind and said:
"Okay, let's go take a look together. I'm also looking forward to her growth."
"The location is in Sunset Forest, there are quite a few fire-attribute spirit beasts there," Walter said flatly.
Sunset Forest? What a coincidence?
Amon stroked the cover of the Immortal Herb Compendium and said with a smile, "When are we leaving?"
"The day after tomorrow."
Amon, who returned to his residence, threw the illustrated book to another clone to study. He took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, sat on the sofa and gently rubbed his eyebrows.
Dealing with Walter seems easy, but it's actually very mentally exhausting. Every word he says needs to be carefully considered to see if there is a deeper meaning.
He glanced at the main body Amon, who was leisurely drinking coffee on the balcony, and couldn't help but mutter: "You're too relaxed."
The main body Amon turned his chair and said calmly: "Would you like a cup? It tastes pretty good."
"Have you reached your scheduled training time today? As a diligent Amon individual, I need to urge you to hurry up and not be lazy." The newly returned Amon got up and poured himself a cup.
"Temporary relaxation is for better cultivation. The combination of work and rest is the right way… If possible, I would like to switch with you. The ramblings during meditation are really annoying." The main body Amon put the cup on the coffee table.
"Ramblings? Is the situation serious? I don't want to see a crazy main body."
"Of course…" The main body Amon paused for a long time before continuing: "Not serious… The underlying logic of this world is order. There is no madness and chaos of the Mysteries world."
The main body Amon closed his eyes and began to share the images seen by the Amon who was reading the Immortal Herb Compendium. He muttered in a low voice: "Immortal herbs… I hope there is something I want."
