Chapter 991: Kiran (1/2)
Sam created enough troubles for the Night demons and left their realm without a second thought. The next stop is Barmmin realm.
This realm is of a bit higher level than the Tri-ashura realm and it is not exactly far away. It has powers that are on a thin line between phase two and phase three of his plans and there are families here that are on the list.
This is the last realm he would have entered according to the phase 2 plans right before entering the phase three.
Even though, these powers are individual and independent, they still have connection with powers in higher realm and these families are responsible for helping these specific higher powers to recruit some prodigies from these realms.
Since it doesn't make sense for them to travel from one realm to another to search for talent and they were afraid that they might lose their sense of superiority, they conduct a tournament every now and then.
There is no pattern in conducting the tournament. They will conduct it as long as they all agreed to it at one point and give out the news.
And this tournament is about to start in the realm and the information is that the candidate Sam and his team are after is also entering the tournament this time.
In fact he left this message at the last person he challenged so that if anyone came looking for him will be informed and come and meet him here.
Currently in his team, Sam has all kinds of people. The Saber Monarch who fools around a lot. Sia who is tender hearted, Gran who is cold, Five elemental King who is peaceful and Jwala who has this righteous sense of justice. But if this guy joins the team, he would be the most crankiest of all.
That is what Sam understood as soon as he entered the realm and came to the capital of Barmmin and roamed around to see if he could get any information regarding the tournament. But to his surprise, the candidate they have selected has become the main character here as everyone is constantly speakiing about him.
His name is Kiran.
And everywhere Sam went, no matter which bar, restaurant, inn or some other place with more than a dozen people, it is inevitable that at least two of them would be talking about this guy.
The registrations for the tournament opened that very day and there is a large board in front of the administrative office displaying the names of the candidates who registered for the tournament.
Kiran's name didn't come up. As only a few people know this guy's true looks it is hard to know whether he registered with an alias or if he didn't register at all.
But most people inclined to believe it was the latter as he was never afriad to reveal his name whereever he went and was quite high profile. He was that confident in his disguise technique that he would never get caught.
Or he is just that crazy.
So, Sam is also counting on him not registering yet. So, he waited there and meanwhile after a few days his team arrived and still he didn't come to register.
”The registrations are open for another week. He might wait until last minute to do that. We need to be partient.”
Sam explained the situation to his team.
”Do you guys want to register?” He asked his team members.
The registration criterion is actually similar to the criterion Sam is looking for in his teammates. The cultivation level should be Late stage Pre-transcendence to Middle-stage Transcendence of Astral Plane.
Of course, the Pre-transcendence and Transcendence divisions will be held seperately, but for extra reward the Pre-transcendence winners can challenge the Transcendence winners at the end of the tournament.
And the rewards are not just recruitment from the high level families and organizations. They have cultivation resources, weapons and medicines of different kinds.
It is also common for people to participate just for the material rewards instead of joining the family. He wondered if his teammates are tempted.
But to his surprise none of them are interested even though he is sure that there would be some great excitement if they did after all, they are famous in different realms one way or another and this tournament is essentially a gathering of fighters from different realms.
”Saber Monarch, you have to register.”
”Me? Why?” Saber Monarch said in a whiny tone.
”What do you mean why? Because I asked you nicely. And I need someone in the tournament that could get into direct contact with this guy and you are the safest guy I could think of as you wouldn't die that easily and as reslient as a cockroach.”
