Chapter 424: Ceremony (1/2)

After Sam finished, almost everyone raised their hands. Sam smirked at this and said.

”I don't know who among you is the right guy for the position of the leader. But this world is judged by might, so all you have to do is prove that you are right.

With that he pointed towards the door and Philip led them to an arena.

Inside the arena, Sam entered after them and sat on a chair and said.

”I don't care what you do. You can use, techniques, tricks, bitch moves, sneak attacks, poison, ganging up. Make sure you are the last man standing. I will set the rankings and the top twenty will get the leadership.

I don't want to see any deaths though.”

Sam just sat there and in the next two hours, Sam saw the biggest dog fight that could happen in the whole western continent. But instead of dogs, there are hundred nascent stage cultivators fighting left and right.

There are blasts, slashes, smell of blood and the spiritual energy rocking around.

After two hours, only one guy stood in the middle with a spear supporting him to stand.

Sam walked towards him meanwhile, some attendants came and started feeding the potent high-grade pills to them and they could see their bodies healing with the naked eye.

Sam extended his hand towards the guy who is barely standing with the help of his spear. There is a lot of damage on his body. There are scars all over and burn marks, there is even a place where the flesh was crushed.

He is bleeding all over.

Sam started emitting light elemental energy and started healing him. Actually, he didn't heal him completely. He just healed all the skin and left the scars there. After all, the candidate's time is actually very much higher than that of Sam. He is in late stage nascent realm. But Sam is actually only in the initial levels.

After he fed the pill the guy slowly recovered and the spiritual energy is slowly flowing through his body.

”From now on, you are the leader of all the nascent stage cultivators under me. But this applies only to the people who are specialized in combat.

If I am not there to rely orders, he will be the one to take charge. Do you all hear me?”

Sam said loudly.

”Yes.” All the cultivators shouted in unison.

Sam then looked at Spear guy and asked.

”What's your name?”

”Dustin.”

”Dustin, you will get a new cultivation technique and a brand-new weapon. This is the reward for you. I don't know if you have leadership qualities, but what I do know is that, it is hard to just control hundred fighters with mere leadership skills, after all at the end of the strength reigns supreme.

So, I have only command for you. Lead them with whatever brain you have. If you think you are unfit, then find the person who is fit and ask him to help you make decisions. But if I hear that you are showing favoritism, then you are dead.

Learn to be a leader. After one year, another competition would be conducted and that time, the might is not the only thing that is going to be tested.

And in that assessment, the organization will also announce the titles.

I don't say things like equality and bullshit. Because, there is no such thing as equality. The one who performs better gets the benefits.

If you feel unfair, prove it to me why I should be fair to you.

I want my nascent stage cultivators to be the best there is in the whole planet. For that, I will provide anything that is needed, the only condition being you guys prove to me that you deserve to be the best of nascent stage cultivators this planet has to offer.

Now, everyone is dismissed. In five days, there will be a ceremony in the new compound and after that is conducted, you are to leave to your duties, in this while find your teams. A team of ten from Novice cultivators, ten from Great realm and ten from the Grand realm cultivators. That is all I am going to give you.

Find them and select them. I am not going to order them to join. All I provide them is the salary they deserve and the benefits they should receive according to the organization rules. As for the rest, you should convince them yourselves.”

Sam then looked at Dustin and said.

”I am sorry that I left your scars deliberately. But I wanted to do you a favor. Look at the scene around you and your scars. Every time you see them you should remember why you deserve to be the team leader and at the same time understand why you should work hard to not lose that title.

The only reason you lost the title to another nascent should be by the fact that you became a Pre-transcendent cultivator.”

With those words, Sam left the place without turning back.
