Chapter 880: New Plans II (1/2)

Sam is currently inside his room along with the Void hopper.

Although it is an insect, most of its characteristics are like a beast. Even though the beast itself is not powerful, it is almost impossible to kill in the same level of cultivation.

Sam is currently examining it closely as it displayed the skills it already has. One of them is to create a fixed space within a radius of twenty meters making everything else stop moving, another one is blinking one place to another within the twenty meters, and the space tearing attacks that could cause extra damage to the opponents.

All of these attacks may sound minute and not too flashy and grand, but that is one of the drawbacks of getting the spatial element and also the capacity of the Void hopper at the current stage.

A void hopper always has limited abilities below the Astral plane, in fact, the current abilities are limited to its transcendent stage cultivation.

If it reaches the Consummate level, the range will increase by at least three times the normal, and also the attacks of a beast are mostly determined by the genetic memory it inherits from its parent.

But these are not the things that are bothering Sam at all, he is currently looking at the one long silver-grey stripe on the dark grey body of the Void bug.

According to the description in the bestiary, the stripe shouldn't exist.

So, he is currently using the bloodline refinement techniques to see if there is anything he could find and he did find something.

The Void bug has an extra bloodline inside its body, but Sam couldn't identify it. Its nature doesn't match with any beast in the bestiary. That or, it is unrecognizable after merging with the bloodline of the Void hopper.

He was a little hesitant to finish the contract, but he still decided to do it anyway.

He is sure that Gambler needs him for now and any problem that could come will be dealt later.

So, he went out of the room and stood on top of the building as he started the process.

When the whole process was done, he took a look at the spiritual core and a new orb is floating within it along with all the old ones.

This one is a ball of two shades of grey. The dark and the silver-grey.

Sam tried to use it and he managed to channel the spatial energy all over his body, but the orb turned dark grey, the silver-grey part of the bloodline is completely unaccessible.

And there is not much he could do and he couldn't even ask the Void hopper anything, because the beast is not capable of communication yet. It can listen and understand and that too, the beast tongue and barely any normal language, but it cannot speak back. It can give out some hints which the beasts could understand, but Sam is still having a hard time.

That is because the age of the Void hopper which might be around ten to twenty years is actually considered a child.

Only after it reached a certain cultivation level after a few years could it be considered an adult and until then, it wouldn't get any form of direct communication.

He just has to wait for the Void hopper to grow or just let it show the abilities of the Silver Grey bloodline.

While Sam is contemplating all of this, he took his attention back to the spiritual core because he felt something.

And he was shocked by what he saw.

His spiritual core which looked like a transparent glass ball with different types of marbles inside started crystalizing.

A faint crystalized line appeared on the core and stopped. The line which circled around the core divided the whole core into two halves.

He noticed that the energy seemed to have increased and it is more than it should even for the Consummate level standards. His energy reserves are higher to begin with and it seems like the crystallization brought one more fold of energy to raise.

After making sure that his body doesn't have any adverse effects, he went out to train for a bit to get used to the new strength.

Two days of training later, he went to meet the executives who completed the list.

The eligible candidates are actually higher in number than Sam thought.

There are around six hundred people in the transcendent stage middle-stage and higher and the consummate level cultivators are not many. Everyone that broke through is already at the end of their potential and there are barely any that could qualify for his requirements. Except for the Ark, Adrian, and some recently broken through people, not many are selected. They are around ten.
