Chapter 53: Insane Breakthrough

When Sam came to the cave, he saw Watt and Falck sitting there. While Yanwu is waiting for him. As soon as Sam walked in, Watt stood up and walked towards him and said.

"I need help." Sam raised an eyebrow as he sized up the boy. He is not that much timid anymore, well at least he is not averting his gaze even when his hands and legs are trembling in fear. Sam chuckled and said.

"You know, you have to pay a price, right?"

Watt nodded at the question.

"Okay tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" Sam asked with an amused expression. Never would he thought that there would be change in this guy in one night.

"Make me strong." Watt answered in a low voice. Sam raised an eyebrow and asked.

"How strong?"

"Strong enough to not to ask for help from others and strong enough to always help myself." It took all the courage he had to say this. Sam stayed silent for a bit as he looked at Watt’s expression and said.

"You do know what you ask, right? You want to strong enough to always help yourself. Do you know how strong you have to become? You have to be at the pinnacle of the world to claim that. Otherwise, there would always be someone stronger than you and there would be a time, where you have to face them and there would be a time where you feel helpless again. Think carefully."

Sam walked towards Yanwu and sky and just as he was about to speak, Watt shouted from below.

"Then make that strong. Take me to pinnacle." Sam turned around and asked.

"What is the price you are willing to pay?"

"Anything you want."

"Are you sure? Anything?" He asked with a cold smile. Watt nodded.

"Okay, then. From now on you will be my lackey. I will give you resources, opportunities and strength. In return, you will be my lackey and you will only be my lackey. You don’t have to follow anybody’s orders except mine. Even if the other party is the emperor or the ruler of heaven himself, their words would be nothing. If I tell you to kill, you will do so. If I tell you to fight, you will do so. Are you willing to pay this price?" Sam said with a cold aura surrounding him. His back straight and hands behind his back, with his handsome face, he looked majestic as if he is superior to anything this world has to offer.Where Stories Blossom: N♡vεlB¡n.

"I am willing." Watt said.

"I can’t hear you are you willing?" Sam asked as he raised his voice.

By this time, the sky became dark again. Watt watched Sam sealing the fire poison and opened his mouth in awe. Then he walked to a corner and started cultivating along with Falck.

Sam placed the Fire poison scroll in the middle of spirit gathering formation. This is to use the scattered fire elemental energy that would spread in the cave to enhance the fire poison. After the preparations are completed, Sam sat in front of sky, while Yanwu sat behind him.

He looked at the huge roc and said. "I will begin the process. this might be painful, but I will try my best to make sure that you will stay alive and get rid of this cure."

He then closed his eyes and placed both his palms on the body of Sky and slowly started absorbing the fire poison. He made it so slow that there is no reaction in the poison until half-an hour. He started absorbing the poison and started refining it in his body meanwhile, Yanwu shared the energy along with him, to make sure that he wouldn’t reach his limit easily.

In this way a human and a Golden sun crow are working together to save a great roc from the Bifang fire poison.

The night passed quickly; Sam’s skin turned red due to the potency of the fire poison. His skin started to become dry. When the morning son came.

*Phew* Sam broke through to the level 6 Acolyte. There are only four days to the competition. But Sam is not even thinking about that. He is fully concentrating on the fire poison and slowly started extracting it. His newly expanded spiritual core, started filling up again, Yanwu is also kept on absorbing the energy from behind. This seemed to be a never-ending process. By evening, both Sam and Yanwu had another break through together. Both of them entered late stages together. While Sam into the late stage of Acolyte while Yanwu into Late stage of Level 2 beast.

Sam who just broke through kept on absorbing the fire poison.

The process continued and the day passed. There is still three days until the competition. If Sam is not done today, Watt is ready to deliver the note to the address and Sam was not done so he went to visit the mansion.

When he entered the Mansion, he was in complete awe. He never entered the mansion as luxurious as that. He is really surprised. He met Jack and passed over the note. Jack right now is preparing to create an ’accident’ to Eisen along with Shawn. But when he received the note, Jack smiled and modified the plans. He changed his target to the two lackeys of Eisen.

He met with the other extra person who came along with them to the City to make a deal.

"Do you want to participate in the tournament?" Jack asked without beating around the bush.

The other guy immediately nodded his head.

"5000 spirit stones. There will be a spot ready. You can make your preparations. You can pay on the day of tournament." Jack said in a single breath. The other guy almost couldn’t believe his words. He was still in daze when he saw Jack leaving and the he immediately went to make some preparations for the competition. Even though, getting him a spot might be hard, who knows what would happen.

Jack felt that he did a good job in selling the extra spot for 5000, he was thinking how Sam would react.

Time passed quickly. The cultivation level of Sky is getting reduced minute by minute. From the cultivation level, Sam wasn’t able to sense at all. He fell into Level 3 middle-stage. Days changed and finally the day after tomorrow will be the tournament. Sam is almost about to break through the Level 9. He is verge on breaking through since morning and he is waiting patiently.

Finally, by night Sam and Yanwu both broke through to the final stages of their respective cultivation. After consolidating for a while, Sam opened his eyes and finally took a good look at Sky.

The great roc, is now in a much better condition, but it is still in pain. Sam slowly stood up and whispered to him. "The next thing I will do to you will pain you so much that, you will prefer death over it. But I want you to endure and hang in there." He didn’t even know if sky could hear his words, but he still said it. Sam placed his hands on him again and got ready to proceed with next step.
