Chapter 87: Research success (1/2)

Sam observed the spirit stone powder in his hands while injecting the high amounts of spiritual energy.

After a few seconds, he felt the powder grains started forming bonds again and an irregular solid structure formed in his hand.

Sam was completely astonished as he stopped his spiritual energy and looked at the solid structure.

The structure is completely irregular and it isn't even like a crystal when it was in its initial used up spirit stone form.

While he was observing the structure, suddenly it collapsed again and turned back to its powder form. He didn't understand the reason at all and continuously conducted the experiments.

He tried to use the core of the stone along with it and he tried to make the structure better by controlling the powder neatly and he discovered something new.

His control over moulding the spirit stone powder is just like his control over moulding the spiritual energy. He was able to make all kinds of shapes with enough concentration.

With this, he used the core and started building the structure just like a normal spirit stone but he didn't create any energy veins and injected his spiritual energy into the core.

But the result was same as before, it only sustained for a few seconds and collapsed.

Sam finally felt that he has an inkling to get this working, that is not because he got new ideas but rather, he found that there is something that he missed and that is making the energy channels.

He sat down and completely focused his attention and started making the structure again, but this time he didn't make exactly like a spirit stone and he did the whole process he continuously injected the spiritual energy to keep on solidifying it as fast as possible.

Because, the energy veins might collapse if he delays it. Sam started the process and kept going on. After the construction is complete, he injected the spiritual energy.

This time the structure did sustain for some more time, but it still collapsed in the end.

Sam stayed in the tower for more than twenty days inside the tower and outside two days has passed.

He conducted the experiments on and off to know how to make something out of it and he wasn't able to make much progress.

Outside, Watt is still in the process of improving himself to pass the second phase of training. These two days, he stayed in the woods continuously training and his cultivation is also improving due to this. He is on verge of making a breakthrough to the level 2 Acolyte.

But the ability to control his attack properly is still far away. He wanted to ask Sam for some tips but the latter didn't even come out of his room for the past two days. So, he is thinking of ways to himself while waiting for him.

Watt isn't the only person who is thinking about Sam. There are some more people who are curious about him and they are none other than Jack, Philip and Kelly. Even Hawk was a bit curious. Out of four people Jack and Philip were even more anxious.

Because, they both know how vengeful Sam can get and they didn't think that was the most of it. When they thought of the menacing expression he gave on that day and the ways he used to take revenge on his enemies, they were thinking what the other party is going to do to the people from the Marquis city.

Jack is in his room; he is meditating with the black meteorite sword in his hands. These days he is spending most of his time with his sword. He wants to build a relation with his sword and make it nurture its spirit.

A weapon with a spirit is a lot more powerful than normal weapons of the same rank.

Philip knocked the door and entered before asking.

”Should we go in and take a look?”

”I think it is better if we don't. If we disturb what he is doing, we might have to bear the brunt of his rage. You do know how horrible it can get right?” Jack immediately declined.

”I guess you are right. But what do you think he is doing?” Philip also thought that and said.

This time Jack didn't reply and just shrugged. But he was also curious to know what Sam is working on. Because, he clearly knew what Sam is capable of creating. His poison liquor grenades are so useful in sneak attacks that he was able to take down a Great mage and four Peak level Novices along with a bunch of other Novices all by himself.

Even though, he used the shadow mice, they are his pets and technically it is also his battle prowess.

Kelly is also waiting for Sam to come out. She is lucky that night because she is spending her time at her uncle's place and Hawk is with his father. Otherwise, who knows what Zeke might have done.

While all the people are waiting for Sam to come out, the said person is busy inside the tower.

Days passed outside and more than ten days went on. Watt is still trying.

Sam is sitting cross-legged inside the tower and he is looking at the formation he made in front of him. There is a book in his hands and there are more than three books similar to this beside him.

Sam took out the brush and wrote in the open book in his hands.

[ Experiment number 256 – Energy Cell

Structural arrangement of the spirit stone powder and energy cores model number 120

Creating the crystal structure – success

Placement of the stone cores – success

Creation of the Energy veins for internal circulation – success

Creation of the Energy veins to the atmosphere – success

Injection of energy – success

Formation set up – success

Self-sustained time – forty-eight days and still counting.]

Sam was finally able to get something out of this.

His first success was when he was able to make the created structure self-sustaining just like a spirit stone at his 100th experiment. Until then what ever he did was a failure.

The method is actually simple, but it is more time consuming.
