"So there was such a big plan behind all this. No wonder Mr. Walter was willing to hunt soul beasts up to 50,000 years old for me. It seems my cooperation is quite valuable."
Amon clapped his hands, his tone slightly exaggerated.
Walter remained noncommittal. "Stop pretending. I don't believe you didn't notice anything… If you hadn't noticed, you wouldn't be standing here now."
Walter basically regarded Amon as one of his own, so he didn't have many reservations.
Although not explicitly stated, their cooperation had already begun when Ilya joined.
It was this tacit understanding that allowed Walter to recognize Amon's abilities and treat him with a relatively equal attitude.
Amon curled his lips, revealing a smile. "Then, Mr. Walter, could you introduce me? I also hope to be valued by His Highness the Crown Prince."
"You don't need to say that. I will naturally do it. Selecting talents is also one of my tasks."
Walter nodded, not refusing. "By the way, during the Soul Master Competition, remember to let Ilya show off more and demonstrate her excellence as much as possible."
"I will. This is their stage. I'm just the one who puts them on the stage."
Amon indicated to Walter that he wouldn't be too conspicuous, so much so that others wouldn't feel his presence.
After a slight pause, he said again: "Actually, I want to discuss with you the distribution of the Soul Master Competition champion's rewards."
Walter's expression was a little strange. "The competition hasn't even started yet, and you're already thinking about the champion's rewards?"
Although Amon and Yan Jin had shown enough talent and strength, he was still not optimistic because the others in the team were somewhat weaker compared to the Spirit Hall team.
Moreover, they lacked sufficient cooperation. It was okay to deal with weaker teams, but once they faced strong teams, this weakness would be magnified.
"Yan Jin is already level 49," Amon said leisurely.
Walter's eyes widened. "What? Say that again."
Amon spread his hands. "Yan Jin is level 49."
Walter felt that his brain was a little overloaded. "Didn't she just absorb a soul ring a few days ago?"
"You need to have more confidence in your disciple," Amon said with a smile.
Having confidence shouldn't mean this much confidence! Am I making a fuss? The problem is clearly with you guys… Walter complained in his heart.
"Are you telling the truth?" Walter's voice was a little hurried, and his heart was uneasy.
Compared to Yan Jin, even the Golden Generation paled in comparison.
"Yes, she had good luck and ate a Ground Dragon Golden Melon," Amon said casually.
Walter's eyes narrowed slightly. He had also seen the Immortal Herb Illustrated Handbook, but he hadn't studied it in too much detail:
"No wonder you wanted the illustrated handbook. You already had such treasures in your hands?"
"Yes, I accidentally obtained two plants and never knew how to use them, nor dared to eat them randomly… I just ate one a few days ago, and the effect was surprisingly good."
Since Amon had requested the illustrated handbook before going to Sunset Forest and had been acting with them in the forest, Walter didn't suspect that he had obtained the immortal herb in Sunset Forest.
"What level are you now?" Walter asked.
"Level 45. The treasure I ate had the effect of enhancing mental resistance. Not all herbs have the good effects of the Ground Dragon Golden Melon," Amon replied.
Walter looked at Amon with some surprise. He really didn't expect that Amon would be willing to share such precious things with Yan Jin, and it seemed that he had given her the best one, his gaze softening a bit.
He asked with a hint of expectation: "Do you have any more?"
Amon shook his head. "Do you think there are many of these treasures?"
Walter naturally had some doubts about Amon's statement, but when he thought that Amon's soul power hadn't increased, he believed most of it.
"Mr. Walter, do you still think it's too early to discuss the ownership of the rewards?"
Negotiating the distribution of benefits in advance can effectively avoid conflicts afterward, so the sooner the better.
However, Walter had never believed that the Northern Academy team could defeat the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, so he hadn't mentioned it.
But at this moment, he really saw such a possibility, and his expression became more serious. "Yan Jin must get one piece."
"Of course. I need to choose one piece first… As for the last piece, Mr. Walter, are you interested?" Amon's voice was a bit seductive.
Although Walter had influenced the formation of the Northern Academy team, he was not qualified to participate in the distribution of spoils. If he wanted a soul bone, he could only obtain it through trading.
"I thought you would leave it to Yan Jin's brother," Walter stroked his beard lightly.
Amon tapped the edge of his monocle with his index finger. "Yan Jin will give the Snow Lotus to Lei Yin. After having the Ground Dragon Golden Melon, it's dispensable for her, after all, these treasures aren't good to eat too much of."
"What do you want?" Walter understood that the soul bone wouldn't be given to him for nothing.
Amon's mouth had a hint of a smile. "A 50,000-year soul beast… but this time the target is a bit tricky, so I think I need to make up the difference."
Walter's expression darkened slightly. He had already promised Amon to help him hunt a 50,000-year soul beast. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, he would abide by the agreement and help him hunt it.
But now Amon was actually taking the initiative to use a ten-thousand-year soul bone to make up the difference, which showed how difficult it would be to hunt the soul beast he chose.
Wait… according to his cultivation progress, he would probably be able to cultivate to level 50 before the Soul Master Competition, so I have to help him hunt first, and then I can get the soul bone. And whether the soul bone can be obtained depends on whether they can win the championship.
Walter reacted. The difference didn't seem as big as he initially thought.
A soul bone that was certain to be obtained and could be redeemed immediately after hunting was naturally different in meaning from a soul bone that might or might not be obtained.
"Heh… you're really good at this empty-handed trick," Walter chuckled.
"This can also be regarded as an investment. Mr. Walter, you invest in me in advance, help me hunt high-difficulty soul beasts, and then my strength will be enhanced, and I will be more confident in winning the Soul Master Competition, and then reward you with the soul bone."
"It's equivalent to me cashing out part of the champion's revenue in advance, and Mr. Walter helps me cash out this part of the revenue. If the investment goes smoothly, you can get a generous return." Amon had a smile on his face. He knew Walter wouldn't refuse.
A ten-thousand-year soul bone, even for a Soul Douluo, is very valuable.
More importantly, a ten-thousand-year soul bone can greatly help Walter break through to level 90 and achieve the title of Titled Douluo!
"Tell me, what kind of 50,000-year soul beast do you want?" Walter asked.
Amon's tone was slightly serious. "Mr. Walter, have you heard of the Mermaid clan?"
