Chapter 279: Inscription and Formation Inheritances (1/2)

Sam examined the paintbrush in his hands. This is a very high-level paintbrush. So, high that with his current cultivation, Sam wasn't even able to appraise the exact rank of the brush.

But it sure is valuable as Sam saw the scenes within his head when the experiences were transferred to him. This is the brush Murali used when he is at his prime.

One can only guess just what any Painter artisan would be willing to pay for this brush.

As Sam examined the experiences or the memories of Murali in his mind, the one hour passed soon and the remaining candidates returned. From their expressions, Sam could guess that they didn't gain anything else.

Arthur is the most frustrated of all. Because he couldn't stop his sense of rivalry against Sam.

He believed that he was the best among his peers since his birth, his talent, his resources, his prowess, and cultivation, he won in every aspect among his peers, but one day Arman started raising right under his nose.

He was having enough with one guy and later Sam appeared. He couldn't help but have a sense of existential crisis,

After all, he was heaven's choice. One of the ten in this world. He had everything catered to him and he has been arrogant all these years. And now with the rise of these geniuses, he is having a hard time digesting the facts that came with the reality check.

This is giving him the fear that he might not be able to stay arrogant forever. And the painting artisanship inheritance showed him just that.

He was worried that Sam would just sweep the rest of the inheritances without care.

After all, from what he knew Sam didn't have any expertise in painting, but he had expertise in the remaining three aspects. He already dealt with his weakest link.

While he was being conflicted, Sam already moved to the next room which just opened. He was excited about the next test.

The reward this time enticed him so much. The knowledge and the experiences that a person has accumulated over decades after mastering a trade with his blood and sweat are being shared with him. He was never this happy with any reward, with the exception of Yanwu and the Divine dimension.

The remaining three followed suit after Sam and entered the room.

The room is the same as the previous one. There is an abyss separating the platform from them and four blocks appeared before them.

Each of them once again occupied the blocks and stood on it.

This time the test is a bit different though.

As the basic inscriptions require a lot of space, the blocks are large and vast. Good enough to create a Rank-6 formation at least.

The first test is to create a Rank-1 inscription with the normal process. It has been a long time since Sam even created an inscription without etching.

He didn't like the aspect of wasting so much time on making basic runes. But this time, Sam doesn't have to be bothered about it. Because he has a water element.An element that helps the inscription masters.

Sam only took a single glance at the holograph to understand the inscription and then placed his finger in the ink bowl. He started controlling the ink with the water element and the ink followed the motion of his finger.

As he started moving his finger in the air, the ink gracefully laid itself on the floor and within seconds, the required runic pattern appeared and the final step drawing the inscription to the scroll.

Sam threw the scroll to the center and within a second, the runes lit up.

The inscription was finished. All this happened in two minutes. A new block appeared and Sam moved.

The remaining three candidates who are trying to finish the inscription are dazed for a second.

They have learned a thing or two about the inscriptions as they expected the requirement of that knowledge in the tests here so that they could deal with them.

But Sam's speed in this aspect is a whole new level.

Even Arthur and Andrew who knew Sam's expertise are having a hard time. They didn't expect him to be able to deal with this in two minutes.

The holograph is showing how to create the inscription step by step and they are all following it, but judging from Sam's speed. He might have even processed the whole inscription just from a mere glance at the picture and did it on his own.
