Chapter 230: Mental strength (1/2)
Sam sat before the Left side Platform as his target was the Transference Scroll. He doesn't know what they are, but he can guess from the name itself, it might be an escape item which could save him in an unprecedented threat.
As Sam started his refining, the rest also got to their own choice, some of them including Arthur focused on the Sabre.
There are only four people for the Transference scroll including Sam himself.
But right now, Sam is in a very shitty mood and he might stay in that mood until he finds a way to vent that so, he took out his two swords and stabbed them both beside him.
He doesn't want to compete with these guys for this, since he laid his eyes on this, he is going to get what he wants and he doesn't have enough patience to fight with these guys.
And just like that, he is alone in front of that platform.
Sam spread his spiritual sense on the sphere and started imprinting it. It is not the same kind of imprint as the one on the puppets.
This process is rather making the sphere disappear with their spiritual sense and mental strength and just leave a mark of their spiritual sense.
If multiple candidates are trying to make an imprint on the single thing, there would be a wrestle between the senses and the one with the strongest mental strength will be getting the treasure.
Since Sam doesn't have any competition it was done in three days and he stored the scroll away.
He then went towards the Thunder Prison.
There are eight people at the Thunder Prison and as Sam came towards it, they started having some mental fluctuations, but they don't want to give up.
Sam didn't want them to do so too. Of course, it would be great if they gave but since he already got what he wanted; he can at least give them a chance to get what they want.
Sam sat down and sent his spiritual sense.
His spiritual sense is a lot stronger than any of them here, he is a lot superior to his peers in this aspect as he cultivates his mental strength. His mental strength is on par with at least a Grand realm cultivator.
When he entered the fray as the ninth person the remaining eight spiritual senses trembled. Sam is having a great time now because the eight of them worked hard and eroded the sphere and then now Sam is here to take them.
He is mostly interested in this prison because it is a defensive item and also judging from its size it is equipment made in such a way that its size is manipulative which can give him some ideas in his further inventions.
So, he is more interested in this.
As the situation turned into a walk in the park to him, Sam suddenly felt a tug of resistance towards his spiritual sense and when he noticed, he saw that the eight remaining candidates are making a united attack towards him.
Since three days are already over and he already got one item, Sam decided that he would test his abilities in mental attacks and improve in this aspect.
So, Sam started his mental 'spar' with these candidates and the candidates' suffering started.
Sam closed his eyes and felt the attacks and the pressure from the other candidates. He is analyzing how mental strength can be used for attacking.
When he felt the pressure from the statue, the one that hurt him most is the mental pressure than the physical one.
He almost lost his confidence and arrogance as his mind was kicked into the abyss of his suffering and inferiority of his previous life.
This almost made him lose his mind.
That much overbearing power was just obtained with the mental pressure.
Now that he has an opportunity to analyze something like this arrived, there is no reason for him to back off.
Sam first started imagining his spiritual sense like clay or some dough.
He wanted to manipulate it as he liked which proved to be a hard one to achieve. But since he has enough time and eight sparring partners there is no need for him to get anxious or disappointed. He can take it one step at a time.
And the first thing is he has to stay alert so that he wouldn't take any damage because of the combined attacks and for that he has to make his spiritual sense and consciousness tight and guarded.
