Chapter 81

Over this time Samuel also managed to learn how common it is for a regular Warrior with a 1 Inch Spiritual Root to break through to each realm with no outside assistance.

There is a 99% chance for 1 Inch Spiritual Roots to reach the Low Rank 1 then it falls to 5% of Low Rank 1 Warriors to reach Middle Rank 1, and 3% of the Middle Rank 1 Warriors break through to High Rank 1.

So if 100 Warriors reach Low Rank 1, 5 of them will reach Middle Rank 1, and none are likely to break through to the High Rank 1. Only 3 of a hundred Middle Rank 1 Warriors break through to High Rank 1 Without assistance.

With the assistance of herbs, 10 of 100 Low Rank 1 Warriors reach Middle Rank 1 and 3 of 100 Middle Rank 1 Warriors reach High Rank 1.

And of course Spiritual Fruits, Spiritual Liquid and boosters will also alter that percentage but that's a general overview.

This also gives an idea of how difficult it is to practice the role of Warriors. If it wasn't for the extremely huge mortal population which provides a lot of warriors to BlueStar, Samuel doesn't know how many people would end up strong.

But Samuel naturally wants to improve the chances of his Dogs of War as much as possible. There are easily billions if not trillions of Warriors in the Eternal Battlefield, Samuel knows he isn't even comparable to a grain of sand right now.

So he needs to get stronger.

So both the Dogs of War, the Pups of War and the Wolves of War each organised groups to consistently travel into the Eternal Battlefield.

Over the next three months, Samuel entered a few more times but the harvest was small in comparison, totalling less than 100 Spiritual Crystals. But he did find another spiritual fruit which naturally gained him another Middle Rank 1 Warrior.

As for the Spiritual Crystals, they were saved up. Samuels collection had risen back up to 400 and the Dogs of War had a monthly income of around 20 Spiritual Crystals now.

This is quite reasonable even with Samuels 1,000 Dogs of War. After all many of the things collected from the Eternal Battlefield are resources rather than Spiritual Crystals.

And a majority of Rogue warriors income come from selling these resources, but Samuel didn't want to do that. He needed to feed a constant amount of growing Warriors!

Over this time there has also been losses, a Middle Rank 1 unfortunately came across another High Rank 1 Warrior, but with only a squad of 20 Low Rank 1 Warriors he died along with the others.

And some other Low Rank 1 Warriors died along the way. But at the same time 4 Middle Rank 1 Warriors broke though increasing Samuels total amount by 3.

As for the lost Low Rank 1 Warriors? Samuel used a monthly income to replace them with new Warriors and continued to save for another 2 Inch Spiritual Root.

And today there was good news, SS2 successfully broke through to the Middle Rank 2 as well. Her Sword Dao Body gained a 10% practice boost with the booster so she broke through quicker than expected.

Speaking of which, the Sword Booster has saved a lot of work for Samuels Dogs of War. Those that used swords have stronger combat power, and practice speed so they made good achievements in the Eternal Battlefield.

Over the past three months, Samuel also made contact with Sabrina. He met her twice in a nice restaurant, and they began to have a friendship.

It was also then that Samuel learnt why Sabrina liked Michael. Apparently when Michael's family still had some influence, his Warrior Father procured a herb called the Rosemary Blood Herb.

It was exactly what Sabrina's pregnant mother needed, when she was struggling from a deathly illness. So the agreement was that Michael would marry the daughter that she would give birth to.

Unfortunately before the engagement, Michaels family disintegrated. And with the ruthlessness of a warrior, Sabrina's Grandfather put an end to that idea and even Michael gave up on it.

But it did mean that Sabrina and Michael had close contact with the idea of becoming fiancees when they were young.

Samuel also heard some news about Michael recently. Apparently a Low Rank 1 Warrior was slain and an apartment full of influential businessmen were also brutally killed.

Naturally Samuel knew it was Michael, but he still hadn't figured out the reason for killing the Businessmen, he just assumed it was something to do with this Gold Finger.

Michael in fact had killed that Apartment building, right now however he was hidden back in the basement with a large cut across his chest and a blood soaked black mask in front of his face.

After killing a Warrior and realising the soul is stronger than a dozen Businessmen combined, Michael wanted to hunt down more. Unfortunately the government wouldn't let such massacres continue.

And a High Rank 1 Warrior, three middle Rank 1 warriors and fifty Low Rank 1 Warriors were dispatched to hunt Michael down.

Michael ran into one of the Middle Rank 1 Warriors, fought him for twenty moves before he was injured and fled desperately.

However Michael also realised something, after he made a 1 Inch Spiritual root, he attempted to grow it to 2 Inches. But he realised the Soul Energy needed was over a hundred times more plentiful.

Killing some small businessmen earnt him less than 0.1% than was needed! Only killing the Warrior filled it up by 0.5% and that was a warrior over a hundred years old!

So his soul is far stronger than other Warriors which definitely shows the difficulty.

Like previously mentioned, the soul is strengthened by life experiences, even old mortals might have a stronger soul than weak Low Rank 1 Warriors. But unfortunately it works the other way round as well.

When mortals contract diseases like Dementia, their soul degrades and they begin to lose their strength. So Michael unfortunately found that although some old people can provide a lot of soul strength, it is a gamble and wastes time.

So he turned to hunting down Gangsters, or finding poor people who have been forgotten to kill. Of course with the typical Protagonist behaviour he focused on poor people he considered issues.

Ones with criminal records, drug abuse problems, abusive behaviour and other behaviour that Michael felt inclined was evil. Was it actually evil? Michael didn't stop to find out he just took action.

After realising he couldn't quickly increase the size of his Spiritual Root, Michael began focusing on other uses of Soul Power. He began focusing on attack methods and finally developed a Sword made of Spiritual Power.

It floated next to his soul within his head, and can be pulled out at any time to fight. It can also be strengthened by soul power making it a growable weapon!
