Sam went back to the dorm after the shopping. He doesn"t have anything to do for the next few days, they don"t have any restrictions on their movements here so all the candidates are free to do whatever they want to do.


He stayed in the dormitory and didn"t come out.


He spent his time cultivating and since he doesn"t have many bottlenecks, he entered the third level of Great realm in next four days.


Apart from that, he focused on his body cultivation and this time, Sam actually experimented on something and discovered an interesting concept.


On the next day of the breakthrough, Sam decided to catch up on his body cultivation, but this time, he made use of light elemental energy instead of the normal spiritual energy.


The effects that came are something he didn"t expect.


He could feel his body accepting the elemental energy and getting tempered by it and at the same time, he could feel that elemental fusion became a lot easier.


He could feel that when he attempted the elemental fusion, he has a lot less consumption of his energy at the same time having less stress on his mental strength.


A part from that, he also noticed another benefit and that is attack resistance. When Sam tempered his body with the fire elemental energy, he tried this by asking Yanwu to attack, and he didn"t bother to defend.


Leaving himself completely as a target when the attack did hit, his body didn"t receive the expected amount of damage and it can even be considered high resistance.


But the only problem is he cannot use a large amount of energy, he is feeling as if his flesh was being burnt with fire and ripped apart at the same time, so he has to gradually increase the amount of spiritual energy bit by bit.


The improvement is faster though. So, after tempering with each element for half a day, Sam completed four elements.


Light, Fire, Wind and Water. On the last day of their rest he has something else planned. He didn"t want to try the poison element yet, because he is afraid of the after effects that would cause. If his body became venomous in nature, he would have a hard time around his beasts and friends and right before the compet.i.tion that is not something he want to face.


But there is another experiment he wanted to do and that is trying to become a laser himself.


That"s right. Sam can turn into light elemental body after he achieved the hundred percent elemental fusion which would be possible since he found a way to advance faster.


But he is thinking, if he can convert the normal light energy into the laser form and use that to temper his body, what the change will be like.


So, as soon as the idea came across, he started applying it.


The immediate result is, his muscle fibres were torn apart in an instant and Sam came to halt.


But he didn"t stop. He just thought a way around it and made a decision. So, he closed his eyes and first circulated the normal light elemental energy and completely healed the wounds and slowly, he started converting small wisps into laser forms.


Tearing the fibres and healing them at the same time.


This time, it worked. He could feel that his body was undergoing a metamorphosis. He could feel his body tempered at an incredible rate. The heat is even higher than the fire element but he was being healed at the same time.


After more than an hour, Sam stopped the process and tried to do normal elemental fusion and after more than fifty percent of body was converted into elemental body of light, he tried to convert itself into laser.


But he failed and then he reduced the amount of area he wanted to convert.


At first an arm, then half of the arm, then the palm, the fingers, a single finger then pinky finger, the tip of the finger and finally the skin on the tip.


He failed many times and only succeeded to form a laser body on skin at the tip of the finger, but he wasn"t dejected, in fact he was extremely happy.


As long as there is a possibility of success in any way it doesn"t matter how many days it would take. He can achieve it as long as there is a way.


After that he didn"t do anything and just took a rest.


The next day, Sam and the remaining candidates a.s.semble outside the dormitory. Moriya brought beasts along with him and all of them travelled to a secluded island within the thunder G.o.d temple"s territory.


On that remote island there are actually a lot of people who looked more like the security of the island.


There are actually other forty members who arrived on this island along with other elders.


Among them one group wore an electric blue uniform and their badges are completely different from what Sam and the group are wearing.


And from their haughty and arrogant behaviour one could easily guess their ident.i.ties. They are the candidates from the Thunder G.o.d temple.


There is no exchange between the five elders, they just nodded at each other and led them to the centre of the island.


They arrived at a huge mountain with a cave entrance. The five elders stopped at that place and then only Moriya spoke.


"This is a place where your fortune awaits.


This cave entrance leads you to the greatest opportunities that can only be achieved once in a life time.


But please do remember that the opportunity coexists with the danger."


The candidates including Sam are confused.


"I will explain it to you guys.


This is an entrance to a Palace of Inheritances. Beyond this cave lies an entrance towards a world where you can obtain a lot of things which you never imagined.


This place is controlled by the powerful beings of unknown origins.


We don"t know anything about them, but they are far more powerful any existence we have seen before.


This island appeared approximately three years ago.


And there is a powerful being guarding this cave entrance.


He summoned the Head of the temple here and asked us for the help in gathering you all.


This place is not under the jurisdiction of the thunder G.o.d temple. We are just helping that person to do their job, so after entering the place, it is all on you.


That person will take it from there and explain what to do.


Now, you guys can enter the cave.


But the entry will be done one by one in a particular order with a gap of five minutes interval.


Now, the people with the four golden stars step forward."


Sam stepped and two other people from the thunder G.o.d temple also stepped forward. They are Arman and Arthur.


The other elders were surprised and so were the two candidates.


Moriya was the only nonchalant person.


"You will be the first batch to enter."


He gestured them to enter the cave.


Sam and the remaining two entered the cave and they could only see a dark path, but after walking for two minutes, they suddenly found themselves in a hall, where there is platform on which an old man is standing.


He has a long beard and wore loose white robes. His long hair and beard are white in colour giving him an ethereal look.


"Welcome to the Palace of Inheritance, you must be the first batch.


You can call me Avatar Sanchez and I am the guardian and the guide of the Palace of Inheritance.


Before you ask me any questions, let me explain why you are here.


The Palace of Inheritance is a boon bestowed upon you by heavens. This place is here for your generation to train and improve by inheriting the legacies of your ancestors, deities and many more powerful figures who you might not even know.


You have one month inside the Palace of Inheritances and in this Palace, there are many places for you to visit.


Each room of this palace will connect you to a different s.p.a.ce where you would be tested, evaluated and if performed well, bestowed with the skills, cultivation techniques, battle techniques, weapons, pills, potions, herbs, artifacts and many more.


Some of the rooms contain wills of some experts in their own right who will be giving you pointers.


In this one month, you can visit as many rooms as you can and obtain as many places as you can.


Some, rooms are tests which will train and temper your will, resolve, energy usage and many others and those rooms will have rankings displayed outside of the room on a board.


And you might meet other candidates from different location of this planet as there are other candidates who will also enter this palace through different entrance.


The tests might kill you, but the more danger it has the precious the reward will be.


As you guys are the first batch of the candidates, you have access to all six floors of the palace. The higher the floor the higher the reward. Do take care and in one month you will be summoned back to the hall no matter which room you are in and I will send you out personally.


So, any questions?"


The old man spoke in a single breath explaining everything, he almost explained everything, that there are almost no questions and Sam also have something else to focus about and that is there has been a burning pain on back.


If not for his tempering with the laser and fire element, he wouldn"t be able to endure it. He looked at Arthur and Arman to see if they are feeling any pain.


He didn"t see any difference in Arthur"s expression, but Arman is sweating profusely which aroused his doubt.


"If you have no questions, then proceed towards the steps. Each floor has five rooms and each of them will test you on different things.


By the way, the rooms which gives objects and skills as rewards they will only be awarded by the end of the month and the rewards will be based on the ranking you obtain among all the candidates from the planet."


Sam exchanged a look with the two candidates and proceeded towards the steps while simultaneously observing his back.


The sight stunned him. The back of his skin now has a big tattoo covering the whole back.


It was a huge circle in which there are symbols of various mythical beasts circling around a spherical object.


The first thing he did after observing it was activating a concealment formation which was inscribed on the feather coat to make sure that the other candidates wouldn"t see it and proceeded to enter the first floor.
