Chapter 231: Exchange (1/2)

Sam and Arman exchanged glances while many other people are sighing in frustration or resignation.

The only two people who got the treasures are from the Thunder God temple's side.

Although from what Sam said, he is not directly related to the Thunder God temple and most likely belonged to an empire under them, they still believed that the treasures would belong to the thunder god temple eventually.

That is the reason these scions are a bit angry as they didn't belong to their power.

Sam sat down for a second to calm his mental state. He really did improve a lot in the past few days. Even though it is not exactly an increase in strength, it would be very useful in many other aspects when he was fighting an opponent at the same cultivation level and the fight would be even easier than it already was.

After a few more hours, the one- month period inside the Palace has finally come to an end. The candidates on all floors vanished at the same time and they appeared in a hall in which the Avatar is standing.

Sam looked at the old man and then his surroundings only to realize that he failed to see any other candidates.

He clearly knew for one that all of the vanished at the same time and he doesn't know why he was isolated.

Not only Sam, but the rest of the candidates are also feeling the same. They are also facing the avatar in the same hall at the same time without anyone around them.

As if reading his thoughts, the Avatar said.

”Don't worry, you are isolated in order to get the prizes that you deserve after this one month. You have performed exceptionally well and the first floor's five formations are cleared by you alone in the minimum time possible.

You have far exceeded the expectations we had and you have been awarded the complete blueprints of the five formations which include their variant versions from rank 1 to rank 7.

On the second floor, you again outperformed every other person in four cases. Battle awareness, Speed, Strength, and Long-Distance Tracking. You only lost and got second place in one room which belongs to the Defence category and this might have been because the attacks are of lightning category and the first prize winner is better in adapting lightning than you.

For this, you will be getting four battle techniques, which focus on the four aspects respectively, as for the second prize it is also a battle technique but it is not as profound as the first prize.

On the third floor, you are the only person who cleared the fifth room and the rest of the rooms, you are the best of all dominating every other person.

This floor's prizes are voluntary and you can select from the options which I will give you in a moment.

The prizes from the remaining three floors are obtained from those floors directly.”

After finishing these words, the person waved his hand and a holographic screen appeared before him. There are many weapons, formation discs, daggers and blueprints of formations, inscription scrolls, and many more.

”You can select any five from these things, if you have any doubts, you can ask me.”

Sam looked at all these and wasn't particularly interested in them. After some thought, he asked the Avatar.

”You know that I stole something from the puppets, right?”

”Yes.”

”So, are they mine?”

”Of course, if they are not yours, you wouldn't have been able to bring them out, you fought directly and they are your spoils of battle.”

”Then, can I request other types of rewards apart from these options?”

The Avatar was intrigued.

”That Depends on what you ask for.”

”Since I have five prizes, I will exchange one for the appraisal of the two treasures I got from the sixth floor, I want to know how they are used and the most efficient way to use them.

As for the remaining four choices, I would like to exchange them for the equivalent amount of raw materials required for making these devices.”

As Sam spoke, he took out the glowing object which he obtained from the puppet. It is actually a spherical object and it has neutral spiritual energy emitting from it.

Avatar was surprised for a bit and said with a smile.

”You really are the odd one. I never expected you would ask this.

But I want reasons.

Why do you want to exchange a prize for just appraisal, why are so sure that you won't be able to use them efficiently?”

Sam stayed silent for a second before saying.
