Chapter 228: Armans transformation

Sam sat down and started thinking about the info he got.

After watching another tattoo on Arman’s back, he was already stunned, but now knowing that there are eight other people just like this and all of them meeting at same place, is something which cannot be explained as a coincidence.

Sam didn’t know what is going on exactly and he also don’t know what are the consequences he is going to face.

This made him feel frustrated.

Sam can be considered as a control freak, due to his worst childhood in which the control of his life and decisions are not in his hands, he became obsessed with having all the events regarding him being under his control.

At least, if he cannot control them, they should still be within his predictions and speculations and he made sure that situation stayed like that in his previous life.

And he tried his best to do so in this life as well, but now that he knew that he is involved in something big and he doesn’t even know what role he is playing, he wasn’t feeling well.

He closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

He doesn’t like his situation and he doesn’t like the way that he was in a game that he doesn’t even know the rules of.

But all he can do for now is to play along. At least until he gets more information and the day, he finds out what happened, that day he will get the situation under his control no matter what.

After around half an hour, Sam opened his eyes. He saw that Nicholas is also sitting beside him and trying to heal his wounds.

Sam extended his hand and projected light elemental energy and healed him.

"I won." He said with a smirk.

"Yeah, you did."

Nicholas replied but there was not even a hint of sadness on his face, it only showed more excitement and determination.

After healing him, Sam gave spirit stones for Nicholas and some energy cells as the part of his share.

Then there was nothing much to do. Sam wanted to look at that glowing object from the puppet, but on second thought he decided against it.

He can trust his secret with Nicholas at least the secrets related to his tricks and techniques, but he wouldn’t be able to do so in front of Arman, this guy’s origins are highly suspicious and there is a high chance that this guy is just like Sam with different capabilities.

For the whole day, he kept on cultivating his mental strength. This is only thing which wouldn’t show his cultivation or Body tempering secrets as they are related to his research and beast’s bloodline connection.

After Arman’s time limit was over and the battle technique was completely obtained, the three of them came out of the room.

When he came out, he saw that the Arthur and the other candidate are already standing at the door of the second room.

And as soon as they closed the door of the first room, the door of the second room opened.

The two of them moved faster than wind.

Sam and the remaining two followed them inside only to see, that the candidates from the other regions are already inside and they already got ready to set up defensive formations.

When they saw Sam, they became even more aggressive on doing so. At last there is a candidate who was also one of the last four Sam defeated in the previous room standing on the platform.

Sam looked at Arman and said.

"You want this technique?"

Arman raised his eyebrow in amus.e.m.e.nt.

"You can do that?"

After they entered there was a string of texts that popped up.

"This is the room where there is no competition.

The sixth floor of the palace opens o the twenty third day and until then the candidates can stay in this room.

On the platform one can meditate and project any queries on your cultivation or battle techniques to the Master of this palace whose spirit was inside the statue.

The Palace master will solve all your doubts and will be your teacher until the time that the sixth floor opens.

So, make sure to use this time efficiently."

After those words disappeared the candidates rushed towards the platform and started taking meditating.

This time only Sam didn’t do anything and just stood outside the platform.

He is looking at the statue because he felt that silhouette familiar. It is similar to the silhouette that he saw on the back of Arman and the ceiling of the top floor.

As for why he didn’t want to get that teachings, right now he is finding the most fun in understanding the battle techniques and creating them, if he still gets the guidance that would robbing his fun out of it.

Sam waited, there is almost a week till the sixth floor opens and he has to wait.

He decided to cultivate his mental energy while as he waits.

But on third day he saw a weird phenomenon on the platform and that is Arman’s aura is raising higher and higher and the lightning energy started spreading throughout his body and tempering him.

Many impurities are being expelled at a fast rate and his spiritual energy and elemental energy started getting purified.

He could even see the muscle tissues getting torn apart and healed at the same time again and again.

The rest of the candidates are quite oblivious to this as they are immersed in their own cultivations.

Only Sam could see this and sense this.

The process didn’t change the cultivation level instead it changed the body, constitution and the spiritual core itself.

This something that is beyond Sam’s knowledge by many levels.

This is the first time seeing this kind of phenomenon.

He doesn’t even know how this is possible but this is happening right in front of him and he couldn’t find a way to explain the situation.

Sam saw as Arman’s skin peeled completely his muscle fibres exposed and then getting torn, his bone structure, internal organs all of the exposed to the lightning and for a split second Sam could have sworn that he saw even the organs becoming damaged by the lightning.

After some time, the internal organs, the bone structure, and muscle tissues, everything started getting regenerated and Arman’s body was now brand-new. His skin was smoother than before and he is like a whole new person.

Sam saw the whole process without batting an eyelid. He then saw the tattoo on Arman’s body appearing again.

Then only Sam came out of his daze and looked at the statue.

He felt that there is a connection between Arman’s transformation, this statue and the tattoo behind his back.

Things just kept on getting more and more mysterious.

After all this new information, Sam felt as if he shouldn’t have known this much, because there are only more questions and no answers whatsoever.

This is truly frustrating.
