After dying in a truck accident, Amon transmigrated into a twelve-year-old Soul Master in Douluo Continent, carrying memories of his brief arrival on the Lord of the Mysteries battlefield.

• Yan Jin struggled to launch her magma, and Amon demonstrated Air Bullet to show how precise Soul Power control could produce a fast ranged attack.
