Chapter 564: Tower defense (1/2)

Sam waited in the desolate land for some time, maybe thinking that the other battles would be over. But the wait went on and on. There is no day or night in that field, he sat there, he rolled over and he even slept for some time.

He almost lost the sense of time after a while. After some time, he figured he might as well train and started the body refining. Even though he works every day with so many things, he always trained for some time in one way or another. Just that he wouldn't spend as much time as the rest of his peers.

But now that he got a lot of time and an environment with the spiritual energy of higher density than his regular atmosphere, he might as well use it.

He doesn't know how long he trained, but he kept on refining his body and practiced his combat techniques.

After who knows how long, he was finally woken up from his stupor. Karthikeya's silhouette appeared once again and Sam wore his clothes back and started restoring his energy.

”You are exempt from the second round, but you have to wait for the remaining people to complete their second round. I will come back in five more days.”

With that, the silhouette disappeared once again. Sam felt like this has to be the most boring Palace of inheritance he will ever be in. The first test is way too easy and the second test is being skipped and the third one happens, who knows when. He felt like he wore his clothes unnecessarily.

He once again took off his coat and the vest before going back to training.

After five days, Sam didn't get any more notification, the bright light once again enveloped him when he is in the middle of training and he disappeared.

He once again reappeared in a room, but this time, his appearance didn't change at all. He is still full of sweat and bare-chested.

The room only one table and there is a large holographic map on it. He looked around and there are three windows to the room and one of them has a view towards a large forest and he could faintly see the hills far away. The second window has a view of the long beach and the last one has a view of the vast sea.

He is inside the top floor of the tower. There is no door on the walls, but there is one on the floor which might probably have stairs leading downstairs.

He tried to open it but to no avail.

He wanted to see if he can jump out of the window, but that is also not possible as an unknown force is blocking him from jumping down. He could only sigh and sit back in his chair.

All of a sudden some information popped up and the holographic map brightened.

After digesting all the information in his head, Sam understood what the test is.

This is more like the game of tower defense.

His objective is to get the flag on the opponent's tower while defending his own.

He observed the map carefully, the game hasn't started yet. There is still an hour time for him to plan and in this hour.

The game's rules are simple. All he has to do is, use the hundred Nascent stage cultivators under his command to defend his tower and at the same time capture the opponent's tower.

Currently, Sam is looking at the three-dimensional holographic map in front of him. The map of the whole terrain of the island they were in.

He could see two towers clearly. One of them has the red flag on top of it and the other tower which is on the other side of the island has the blue colored flag on top of it.

His color is red and his troops are also marked as red dots with a colored hue indicating their elemental usage.

All his troops are currently lined up in front of the tower and are waiting for his orders.

As for the terrain, the whole island has a stream that originated from the center of the valley surrounded by the hills on the other side of the island. The blue tower is located right beside the origin of the stream.

The map is divided into two halves.

One half is red in color and the other half is blue in color. Sam could move his troops to anywhere in the red-colored region within the grace period of this one hour.

He could see all the positions and any situation within his zone.

But for the blue zone, all he could see is the terrain, he couldn't see the position of the soldiers of his enemy and the situations of the other half. However, it is not an absolute one, when his soldiers intervene, he can get the view of the situation near the vicinities of his soldiers.

He could see everything within their sensory range and a bit more.
