Chapter 90

It was a bit of a shame that he had to spend time on work instead of cultivating, but maybe after the tournament it will be easier.

Sam chopped up the first batch of logs and began hauling them to his hut. Then he repeated the process until the evening.

Even for him, such a physical activity for almost a whole day did not go without consequences, but he was pleased with the results.

In the evening Sam decided to take a walk to the castle and get a better look at the people.

During the day, the planet was hotter than on earth, and even at night it was not too cold, so even mortals had to endure the night outside.

A fire was made not far from the castle, the mortals gathered around it. The cultivators settled themselves in the outer circle of mortals and meditated.

Obviously, some kind of living creature for mortals was still caught and even gutted and washed.

Apparently the new batch of cultivators had even worse experience after meeting patriarch than Sam and the company, since they tried so hard.

Among the mortals there were people of all ages, although there were no outspoken children, apparently the old man did not really hope that much mortals could become cultivators.

Among the cultivators, all were young from 12 to 25 years old or so. There were more women in both groups.

Sam was not a sociable person, to put it mildly, so after observing them for a bit, he returned to his room and continued to meditate.

He meditated at night and worked with short breaks during the day, and a week passed.

On the morning of the next day, the old man called everyone, they gathered near the castle.

Furan - First, there will be a tournament for the first 22 people arrived, then a separate one for young cultivators. Killing is prohibited, and let me remind you that participation is on a voluntary basis.

Someone had already cut 22 plates with numbers, so the group that Sam came with took them apart and fights began.

Sam's first opponent was one of the Zusha race.

Sam thought that this muscle-heavy 2.5 meter bully would be a serious opponent, but after a couple of exchanges of punches, he bent over and was incapacitated.

There were no shouts and support from the fans, in fact, the crowd for the most part watched the tournament dryly.

After a couple of fights, Sam had already met the finalist and it was a demon.

His wings helped him in movement, obviously if you get used to them from childhood, then they became not such a burden, and maybe an advantage.

The demon was good at dodging his blows, and even counterattacked. Still, the moment Sam managed to land a few hits were the moment when difference in strength immediately became visible.

He clearly knew how to use his wings and how to fight, but like this demon, none of his rivals reached the middle stage of Qi Condensation, and even more so no one had mutations, so this fight ended up being one-sided.

When their fights were over, they simply stood aside and watched the rest of the tournament.

Among the young cultivators there should have been quite a few spirit cultivators, but either the stage of the Qi Condensation was too low, or they simply did not know any techniques and spells, but they almost did not use Qi.

Sam did not notice anything special. In the final a young girl and a guy fought, the girl eventually won.

The girl was about 1.7 meters tall, blue hair and eyes, the figure was also good, in general, she was a great looking one. Sam basically just looked at different women and enjoyed their charms.

On Earth, Sam did not particularly limit himself, if there was a desire, he simply could force anyone he wanted, but here he did not feel confident enough to give vent to his friend.

Furan - Three from the first selection, and five from the second stay near the castle, the rest can leave. The winner of the first selection follows me.

Sam followed the patriarch into the castle, going up the steps and going inside, he saw a spacious hall, the old man was already sitting on his throne and looking around Sam.

This time Sam did not fall to his knees, because he did not see that this would change something the last time, obviously the old man did not care about the bows of the ants.

Furan - At the moment, you are the only one who has already reached the middle stage of Qi, your name and how many spirit stones have you already absorbed?

Sam - Sam, 80 stones patriarch.

He didn't know if the old man could sense his exact level of power at the current stage with his spiritual sense, so he didn't risk lying.

Furan - It is clear that from now on your task will mainly be cultivation, I will also appoint you the head of law and order, if there are any problems in the camp, you will solve them at your discretion.

- Until it comes to murders, I don't care what happens there, you can choose a couple of deputies to look after the camp and cultivate yourself.

- What technique are you interested in?

Sam - Movement technique for body cultivators.

The old man waved his hand and spiritual stones flew to Sam, presumably a technique in the form of a tablet, a pill and a black robe.

Furan - To use the tablet, just feel it with a spiritual sense. The tablet will help with the breakthrough to the Foundations stage. You can go.

Sam - Thank you patriarch.

Sam bowed, put everything in rings and left.
