The body that Amon transmigrated into was already weak from just reviving, and then he immediately fought and traveled, so his condition had dropped to its lowest point.
He didn't want to start conflicts with others at this time. What he needed most now was rest to recover his condition.
Moreover, the thieves, beggars, and hoodlums in the city often survived by sticking together. Catching one might provoke a whole group.
However...
Although he had been kicked out of the group chat of the mystical world's Amon, and although the transmigrator's part occupied the main body, I am still Amon after all! When have I ever suffered such grievances?
The next time I see that thief, I will definitely let her see what a "thief" really is!
Amon shook his head with a smile and went to the cafeteria with his employee card to collect his free meal.
After eating a simple dinner, he went to the library.
The Icewind Elementary Soul Master Academy's library collection was not very extensive, with only three bookshelves of books, which naturally could not be compared with the vast sea of books in the library before the transmigration.
Considering that the timeline of Douluo 1 is considered ancient in the Douluo series, these three bookshelves are already quite considerable.
Amon borrowed a copy of "Chronicles of the Heaven Dou Empire," registered it with the librarian, and returned to his dormitory.
He did not start reading immediately but began to study his martial soul.
In the composition of a Soul Master's combat power, in addition to soul skills, the characteristics of the martial soul itself are also an important part that cannot be ignored. Some martial souls inherently have special abilities.
The Worm of Time was obviously one of these martial souls that came with innate special abilities.
Amon activated his soul power, and a semi-transparent worm with twelve rings and starry spots appeared in his palm.
As soul power was injected, the Worm of Time emitted a faint gray light.
The light became brighter and brighter, and an even more illusory, almost transparent shadow separated from the original Worm of Time martial soul, and then gradually solidified, transforming into a new Worm of Time.
Amon's soul power also dropped from the original level 13 to level 12. This was a substantial decrease in soul power and could only be upgraded again through cultivation, rather than ordinary soul power consumption.
At the same time, a sense of weakness came from the depths of his soul. Amon felt that his senses had become dull, and the efficiency of absorbing surrounding energy had decreased.
This was the special ability of the Worm of Time martial soul—splitting.
The split Worm of Time could exist in the form of a martial soul or condense a body and exist in human form. They could cultivate and upgrade on their own, but the highest level could not exceed the main body's level minus ten.
Splitting not only reduces the soul power level but also weakens the soul, slowing down the main body's cultivation speed. The degree of reduction is related to the proportion of the split Worm of Time's soul.
The soul weakening caused by this is recoverable, and the soul of the split avatar will gradually be replenished. That is to say, the cultivation talent of the main body and the avatar will gradually increase over time until they finally return to the talent that the main body should have in the state of not being split, but it takes a long time.
The avatars can also merge to form Worm of Time avatars with more complete souls and higher soul power levels, which still needs to comply with the restriction that the highest level of the avatar cannot exceed the main body's level minus ten.
The main body absorbing the avatar can replenish the soul and restore injuries but cannot directly increase the soul power level.
Amon was not very clear about the original owner's talent. He estimated that his talent after transmigrating should be full innate soul power, and only such talent would be worthy of the Worm of Time's powerful martial soul.
Amon didn't study it for too long because he had to teach the next day, and he needed this job and had to take it seriously.
Working as a teaching assistant in the academy allowed him to borrow books to accumulate knowledge, and the work was easy and didn't delay cultivation.
The next morning, he went to the director of the grade's office.
"Director Lu, hello, I am the new teaching assistant Amon. Please give me a lot of guidance in the future."
The grade director, Lu Wencong, was a middle-aged man with a half-bald head. He was wearing a loose robe, quite reminiscent of a teacher from the Republican era.
"Mm," Lu Wencong nodded and said softly, "I heard you are good at close combat?"
"I can only say I have a little experience," Amon answered modestly.
As everyone knows, an excellent thief and diviner are often good users of daggers and short swords and can be skilled assassins.
"Our elementary Soul Master Academy doesn't have many courses. It mainly teaches children some common sense about the Soul Master world. Of course, as a Soul Master, combat is indispensable. Since you have expertise in this area, you can try teaching them. It's always good to learn more."
"I will usually prepare the teaching materials for the courses for you. You just need to follow the steps. The things that lower grades need to learn are very simple."
"Today, go teach a second-grade class as a test. I will be observing. If the effect is good, maybe the academy can specifically add a combat teaching course. This will also give you the opportunity to become a formal teacher and obtain better treatment."
Amon nodded, "I will do my best."
On the school's playground, twenty or so children gathered together, chattering.
"I heard there's a new teacher coming today."
"He's very young. I saw him when school was out yesterday. He's not much older than us. He feels like the senior students."
"Is he handsome?" A girl with a ponytail asked with curiosity in her eyes.
"Hmph, he's definitely not as handsome as me," a cool boy said unhappily.
His attention was all on the girl with the ponytail, and he was a little frustrated to find that she didn't pay any attention to him at all.
"About the same as the senior students? Then I hope he has some real skills and isn't just a showoff," a red-haired girl said coldly.
But soon, her face changed, and she looked at Amon and Lu Wencong, who were walking over, and silently retreated to the back of the crowd, shrinking her body and trying to reduce her presence.
Walking up to the children, Amon introduced himself with a smile:
"Hello, students. I am the new assistant teacher Amon, and I am honored to be standing here to impart knowledge to you all.
"I believe everyone is troubled by boring and tedious classes. Today, let's do something different.
"As a Soul Master, it is inevitable to encounter various battles. Although powerful soul skills are an important guarantee in battle, the outcome of a battle does not only depend on the strength of soul skills. Some fighting techniques can often have unexpected effects, especially in the low-level Soul Master stage.
"Although I hope that everyone can become powerful Soul Masters in the future, the reality is unfortunately that the vast majority of people cannot reach that level, so learning close combat skills can benefit many people for life."
Hearing his statement, a noisy murmur immediately came from the crowd.
"I won't stop at the low level."
"I will definitely become a Soul Douluo in the future!"
"Who wants to learn some useless things."
"Close combat? Isn't that what ordinary people use to fight."
"Yeah, we are noble Soul Masters."
Hearing the children's discussion, Amon just smiled and watched.
Who didn't have lofty dreams when they were young!
Future reality will tell them that the vast majority of them will not be able to break through the Soul Douluo level in their lifetime.
"But, it seems a little useful, right? Yan Jin always relies on her fists to beat people."
"Uh, that's true. She can beat senior students with her fists. If we learn it well, can we be that powerful too?" They looked in a certain direction while discussing.
A few different voices reversed the children's opinions, which surprised Amon a bit. He pinched his monocle and looked at the back of the crowd. That was where the children were frequently looking.
Yan Jin, who was at the back of the crowd, felt the gazes of her classmates, and her expression became more and more ugly. She now wished she could pretend to be an ostrich and bury her head.
When Amon's gaze converged here along with the gazes of others, her face stiffened, and her heart seemed to skip a few beats.
"It seems that the students also have their own opinions on this. Some are against it, and some are in favor of it. Then, let's practice it? Truth always needs to be verified by practice," Amon said with a light smile.
"Is there any student who would volunteer to practice with me?"
Swish! Everyone's eyes uniformly looked at the red-haired girl at the back of the crowd and consciously made way for her.
Obviously, in their minds, this red-haired girl seemed to be equated with words such as battle and violence, and they naturally thought that she would volunteer at this time.
But Yan Jin just wanted to say that she really wasn't brave at all right now.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and showed Amon an awkward but polite smile:
"You... hello."
Amon's gaze became a bit dangerous, and he said with a fake smile:
"No, I'm not good... We meet again, classmate."
