Chapter 1102: Students (2/2)

With that Sam left the place and went back to desolate.

In the past eight months, the organization managed to bring the ten students he requested. They are currently waiting for him on the desolate planet.

First, he checked the reports on the progress of the construction of the Primary schools.

More than half of the schools are finished with the basic structural construction while the rest of them are done with the foundation.

After going through the report, Sam went to meet with the ten students he got.

Out of ten, four of them are girls and the rest are boys.

He went through their profiles and was surprised to see the constitutions. With how large their range of search it is a little surprise for them to gather ten people with different constitutions and spiritual cores.

The first candidate's name is Ratri. A girl. She looked haggard, to say the least. She just awakened a year ago, but she is still in the Initiation stage without any progress. The basic cultivation is not working for her and she has a different core. Even though the team couldn't identify what her core is, they believed that she is especially based on the events that came across surrounding her.

During her awakening when the initial surge of spiritual energy touched the surroundings, all the grass and vegetation started corroding. It is not even simple withering and dying it, they became grey while still retaining their original shape and after touching, they simply disintegrated into powder and disappeared completely after touching.

Many people and even her parents believed that she was cursed. Whenever she tried to feel a bit of spiritual energy, whatever she touched cracked and turned grey making it disintegrated into powder.

What surprised Sam, even more, is that she belonged to the Desolate Planet. She belonged to a village and they abandoned her when they saw her destroying everything.

When the people from the Dusk organization found her, she was actually sitting in the middle of a grey patch of soil within the forest with nothing in the surroundings, from what they saw even the patch of soil turned a bit different and didn't have the same consistency of the soil in the surroundings.

They even brought some soil with them.

When Sam looked at her with scrutinizing gaze, she became nervous. Since the time of awakening, she was having a hard time. It is really surprising for her to even live in the wilderness for such a long time without dying with her current strength.

Sam extended his hand to place it on her head, she flinched and almost tripped backward. But all of a sudden she felt like something held her from falling and pushing her forwards. But when she turned back nothing was there. It was Sam who used the wind to stop her fall. He placed his hand on her head and used observation ability.

Even though there is a method to identify the core, it is limited. People cannot directly see the core even with their spiritual sense. Generally, cores are identified with the nature of the energy it is emitting, the description of the cultivator who can see the core and all the other factors and reactions of the energy.

But Sam can see it with his observation ability.

When he observed the spiritual core, he could see dark elemental energy with a grey hue.

He then took out the grey soil and tested it for a minute, before he picked up some items like rocks, branches, and leaves all of the lowest quality before placing them in front of her.

”Channel your energy into them.”

She hesitated a bit, but she did it anyway.

Sam saw as all the items turned into grey dust and almost blew away with the wind, but he controlled the wind and collected them all to examine separately.

He was surprised again. All the different things are turning into the same grey dust. There is nothing special in any of them.

He thought of something and looked at her, he felt like there is some change in her.

Sam took out some low-quality spiritual herbs of different elements and asked her to do the same with them.

When she used her energy on different elemental herbs, it took a long time for her to destroy them. Initially, she became exhausted, but as the herbs started disintegrating into grey dust, the energy in her increased. Sam could clearly sense it.

He immediately understood what her spiritual core is.

It is a variant spiritual core of dark elemental energy. Just like how shadow mice have variant cores with shadow energy, this core is of devouring energy.

The energy of this core has one simple property, it would devour any other energy and try to absorb it for its own leaving only some grey particle dust. When devouring the dark elemental energy herb, even that grey dust was very small, it is like only the roots of the herb were turned into the grey dust and the rest of it disappeared into thin air.

Sam couldn't help but smile and took out some dark elemental fruit juice and gave it to her.

”Drink this first. Someone will come here and will take you to your new home. You can take a bath and they will send some food. You can relax. You are my student now. We will start your classes tomorrow.”
