Chapter 816: Return (1/2)

Sam went to meet his soon-to-be new friend. The best of the best in Pre-transcendent level.

When Sam met him he has a faint recollection of that bear. He is one of the bears that were at the forefront of the war and killed the most number of Orangutans and also the most injured bear.

Now he was completely recovered and wants to have a little competition. The competition went on for the next few days.

It is actually not that big of a deal, the bear wants to fight with them one on one to see where it ranks amongst all of Sam's beasts.

Even though Sam felt like this is a bad idea, the beasts are excited to give the newbie a good beating.

Their bloodlines are superior and they have some distinct advantages over bear for now as their battle experience is different.

They don't have as much battle experience but the little experience they had is extremely different and they have developed some new tricks with Sam. They almost think and act like human cultivators, the bear would face some serious trouble.

Sam almost felt that the bear would take the worst beatings of his life, but he was surprised to see how the bear held on. It put up a decent fight against the beasts and took advantage of the forest properly. But most of the time, on verge of his loss, Sam stopped the competition.

And the last fight was between the bear and the Sam himself.

Sam didn't even fight back. He just focused on his own defense so persistently that the bear gave up.

After two days of these little competitions, Sam started his return journey, with the bear, he got everything he wanted from this realm and it is about time to start his return journey.

He went back to the city along with it.

The bear was completely shocked when he entered the divine dimension. It thought it would be cooped up in some space inside the beast pouch, but it turned out to be different, the divine dimension is a world of its own and the bear liked it a lot.

For some reason even after the beating, it took from the rest of the beasts, they still got along.

Sam didn't finish the bloodline ritual immediately, because he has to study the bear a bit before he did that.

From the actually looks of it the bear is called the Forest Bear. And they are also supposed to be green in color with some brown hue.

But this bear tribe seemed to have undergone some mutation or either some crossing with a bear of another bloodline. He has to check which bloodline has possibilities and see how to refine it properly. If it is just a random bloodline, he can resolve it, but if it is also somewhat superior, he doesn't want to lose out on it.

Anyway, he doesn't have any hurry in that. He would stay in the Pre-transcendent stage for a while, the next breakthrough would take enough time and he would even enter the Palace of inheritance in the Pre-transcendent stage.

After returning to the Capital, Sam spent some time with Raunak and Ramya to hand over things properly and give the required instructions.

He sent a courier to the trio to come back.

He went to meet with Professor and asked for the reward.

”Why are you asking for the reward immediately? The war is not over and for the price you paid, you would get a lot more than what you are going to get now.” The professor asked as he looked at Sam keenly.

”I don't have time. I am going out on an adventure with our friends. It would take some time before I came back, it might be a few months or a couple of years, so I would have to do my research.”

”Oh my, you are going away for such a long time, don't you worry about your establishments?”

”No, professor. The people who ought to worry are the people that have their eyes on my establishments. Sometimes I pity the naivety of the elves. They only believe what they see, don't give too much thought, and speculate about others, particularly towards humans and centaurs or other creatures. Everyone came to the conclusion that I managed to persuade the five powerhouses that came to my school. But has anyone thought about why they really came? How did I persuade? Or was there even a need to persuade? Have you ever thought about that Professor?”

The Professor looked at Sam with interest.

”What are you implying Sam?”

”Nothing professor. I am implying nothing. I am saying directly that you should think properly before you act. There are a few things that you should know before you try and convince the professors of my school to join you in your so-called cause and trying to persuade the researchers that they would receive better treatment with you. Because they will have only one answer.

And that wouldn't change no matter who the question came from. It might be from the students you set up to become their best students or the women you sent that are trying their best to find a way into their beds.

The answer will not change and you might lose the people that you are using. Because these old men were not persuaded to come here.

They were ordered to come here.”
